Ethnic Restaurants in La (today's clickbait article)

Meh. List is a cuppa weak tea....Italian, Spanish, & Mexican barely count as "ethnic" dining in LA in 2016. Those lists compiled from web surfing are useless. How 'bout the Korean bakery in Laplace, or the Cuban joint in Morgan City, or the Laotian resto in Bossier City?

The exterior of the Sabores Dominican Restaurant building in Shreveport is the 3rd best Ethnic Restaurant in the state. Their food is the 11th best..

Chung's Heavenly Sweets, Laplace: LINK
Latin Corner, MC
Pho Bowl, Bossier (yes, it's Lao)

Tsunami? Place is horrible.

But, who doesn't think Lafayetized sushi when they think "ethnic" food in Louisiana?

I've been to the ones in bold. Enjoyed most of them, didn't really see what made Trey Yuen special.

Crap list is crap.

I know we could list 15 better then anything on the list, but no love for Milkfish?

Curry N Kabab is very good. Their food is probably the same quality as Bay Leaf without the pretentious atmosphere of tuxedo-clad waiters serving me curry.

It's like the 3rd-4th best sushi place in town. It's hardly "horrible"

In this case, Tsunami is horrible.

I've worked in a Japanese restaurant and have had my share of quality fish over the years. I had a bite of fish at Tsunami that was rancid and had to spit it out. They came two per order. When the waitress came back, I let her know that the fish wasn't good, and being from the restaurant industry, out of courtesy I wanted to let the Chef know that his fish was bad. I asked that the waitress let the Chef know. I was at a table next to the sushi bar and could see that she didn't mention a thing to the Chef. Obviously the fish was continued to be served.

Never mind that they served me inedible sushi. Never mind that they didn't take it off the bill. It downright pissed me off that they didn't even check into it. Obviously, they don't give a frick and I'll never be back. Food service isn't perfect 100% of the time, but if it isn't, the restaurant had better check into it and correct the problem.

I had this happen at 2Paul's in Lafayette. The pulled pork was rancid. I had two others at my table try it and they spit it out too. I let the manager know and like Tsunami, he basically didn't give a frick either. He thought I was just trying to get something for nothing, when I was letting him know out of courtesy. He finally did offer me something to replace it, and just to prove I wasn't looking for something for nothing, I declined. He never did check into his product. I won't be back there either.
