Could it also have to do with a more health conscious population? Many people actively try to avoid sugar, tons of carbs, and tons of unhealthy fats. Chinese food is loaded with all of these.

- yding 7y agoEven in the medium to high end, the biggest trend for restaurants in the last decades is the dominance of the burger, not exactly a health food. To be honest, most Chinese restaurants probably serve more vegetables (and roughly the same amount of fat and carbs) than a meal at a non-Chinese restaurant at the same price point.
- prepend 7y agoI saw a Burger King go out of business recently. Was there for years, the shuttered. It was uniquely memorable but I hope the first of many. Mainly because the food is bad and the workers inside seem to me that they are sadder than other restaurants. For comparison, Chick-fil-a is like walking into Santa’s workshop with its joyfulness, even though they don’t pay more.
