True in most places with large immigrant populations, and goes double if it’s not just “” cuisine, but “”. There is a place around the corner from my work that specializes in Lanzhou beef noodles - it’s down a side street in a little shopping arcade, I’m guaranteed to be the only white guy in there but it’s absolutely fantastic food
There was this fantastic Greek place who’s sign was literally just a hand painted map of the town the owner grew up in. Amazing gyros, unbelievably cheap. IIRC they were only ~$4, and then for like $1.50 more you could upgrade to a “plate” which meant you got EASILY double the filling.
Homie might have been treating us special bc we were regulars and were always chatting with him and his sons, but either way it was by far the best restaurant experience I’ve ever had.

So true! Hand drawn sichuan noodles, south indian dosas… Its really the smaller regional places in calmer neighbourhoods.
