In my opinion. In here (NYC), food quality compared to big cities in Asia (at least that's what I know, both from 3rd world countries Asia and 1st world countries Asia) are way better than here in NYC.
It is crazy how bad food quality in NYC for its price. It is so bad that I almost feel like there is a conspiracy between restaurants in the city that goes on like this:
restaurantA: "Hey you know, we can make good food"
restaurantB: "Yes you are right, we can, but why should we? Why not just create mediocre food? If everyone of us are doing it, the customers don't have any other choice, yet we still charge them expensive price"
restaurantA: "You are right, why don't I think of that? that's genius"
I just don't understand why in Asia food quality compared to its price are just much much better. At least for Asian food. Maybe I am bias because I am Asian and used to Asian food. But yes Asian food here in NYC also not great for its price.

- pacala 6y agoThe lion share of the price goes for the privilege of eating in a NY establishment. The rent is too damn high [0]. I bet you can find world class Asian food in NY, it's just that it's going to be a whole lot more expensive.
