Missing restaurant types in Baton Rouge

German. There used to be one called Black Forest downtown years ago

ethopian
indonesian
malay
british
puerto rican

Japanese. True Japanese, not just random Asians with a bamboo mat and some cream cheese. I'd love to combine all of the so called Japanese restaurants in Baton Rouge for one authentic Japanese place which features dishes like sukiyaki, shabu-shabu, oyakodon, oden, chawan mushi and others that you've probably never heard of because those Japanese dishes have been all but lost in Americanized sushi joint translation.

My wife and I have discussed several times about the lack of a Korean BBQ place here. I think that and an Ethiopian place would both do well.

Cuban

German
Ethiopian
Moroccan
Good Chinese

Thai.

Thai Pepper is great but they never opened back the buffet after Covid. Thai Kitchen has never been a good option, IMO and they also got rid of the buffet. Rama was the best, I sure do miss it. We need a couple of Thai places like they have in Florida panhandle beach areas. They do tons of to-go business and the food is great.

I wish we had more Indian options in south EBR. All the Indian restaurants are clustered around Coursey.

Would be nice to have Indian food closer to the center of town, and of course good Chinese food.
