So the best Chinese food in BR is at a Japanese restaurant?
Yep(I know..no matter how good..it speaks horrendously of BR's Chinese scene). Also, Koto & Ichiban Sushi both owned by Chinese owners..one of which runs a much better Japanese restaurant than he ever did his previous Chinese restaurant.
Tex-Mex Cafe, Azteca, Las Palmas..Arab owned. And are crappy, yet with but one Superior and Ninfa and La Carreta, and until BR folks go to the taquerias en-masse, there is room for weak Tex-Mex joints to still make bank.
You go with the fatter profit margins and hot markets. Chinese on some dishes, and most all Lebanese fare, are time intensive, and can be costly in ingredients. Mexican is cheap fare, easier sophistication for kitchen staff to master. Sushi/Teppan takes extensive training, and utilizes premium ingredients, but is relatively fast in prep time by well-trained staff, and works on huge profit margins..that turns tables.
