It's Official - Japanese Cuisine is Most Popular Asian Food

Our neighbors to the north -- in the Big Apple -- believe they are the gastronomical pace-setters of the nation (if not the world), and in this case we agree with them.

Japanese cuisine is now the most popular Asian food in New York, surpassing Chinese, according to the annual Zagat survey.

Tim Zagat said, "Japanese food has been going up like a rocket, while Chinese has stalled."

New Yorkers in the survey ranked Italian cuisine highest, followed by French and Japanese food.
