Thai then Japanese - though my first experience of Japanese food was in San Jose, CA and found it bland and uninteresting, so much so it put me off trying it again for a good 15 years. It was only through my wife and daughter literally dragging be into one of the Wagamama resturant chains for a bowl of ramen noodles that I realised I was woefully mislead by what I'd eaten in California. (Although Wagamama is very westernised Japanese cuisine - as are most sushi bars I suspect). 
 
This year I celebrated my birthday in a Thai/Japanese fusion resturant, which for me was pretty much the perfect combination.
What?

If we can revive the Mexican vs. Italian poll, we can dredge this one up too.

I understand that Thai places are starting to "water down" their cuisine to suit the undeveloped tastebuds of the average American - making everything sweeter and what not.  It looks like Thai in America is going to end up as a slightly more exotic version of Chinese.

And that cheeses me off.

I'm inclined to agree; with the exception of the cousine from the Indian subcontinent, anything east of Iran makes me queasy.

I've only eaten twice korean, but it was delicious; >>> Frying beef slices upon a convex grill with spiced oil

 

Thai and Viet foods are much more refined (spice-wise)  and subtle than Japanese , IMHO

Well, in either case, Japanese.

Can't say I've had much Korean or Vietnamese, but I love teriyaki, sushi, sashimi, and practically everything I've had Japanese. I've recently started getting into Thai, and it has a very spicy and wide palate. It may have more variety, I don't know, but my instincts told me Japanese.

Americanized Chinese, however, will always win. :)
