I think this may be true with western cuisines, but food in Asia is especially different from what you get in normal Asian restaurants (Indian, Chinese, Thai, etc) Asian cuisines are usually bastardized and then type casted into a very narrow view of the food is actually like. Almost none of the food I had growing up, is available in Indian restaurants in the US. Similarly, I have to really go looking to find authentic food from certain regions in China and legit Thai food. My perspective of these foods completely changed after trying these authentic places.
