Then you aren't like every other person then. It's rare to meet someone who doesn't love Italian.
I love Italian, I just like other cuisines more. I love food in general.

I thought this was about city limits only? Westminster is a good 30-45 minutes away from Los Angeles.
Then don't bring up Flushing.
Anyways, let me take Westminster out. Pho Western, Pho 2000, and Pho ABC on Western in LA's Koreatown stand on their own. I ended many nights at Pho 2000. Pho sits well on alcohol, I've discovered - I've also discovered that mixing alcohol and Vietnamese curry is like swallowing fire. Heed my warning; I suffered so you don't have to.
Where does NY demolish SF or LA in anything Asian? Oh wait, it's the other way around.
You know..there IS more to the world than just Asia....I'm just saying that even there, NYC is either #1 or #2 for most Asian cuisines from Chinese to Korean to Indian.

Keep deluding yourself.
How many restaurants have you ate in Flushing? or even Manhattan's Chinatown? Even Sunset Park?
Name one place that's as good as Golden Palace in Flushing (which is probably the best amongst many Chinese places in NYC) in SF or LA? And please, give some menu item by menu item comparison
And you somehow believe San Francisco is not the bolded? Please.
And only someone who's never been to SF believes there's a lack of "refined" cuisine.
Wait, who said that? Let's not attempt to put words in my mouth in hopes of making a nonexistent point.
San Francisco has a wonderful array of culinary. LA is a dump at the upper level, but overall all the cities mentioned are great food cities but they're not New York. New York is the most popular and happening food city in the United States so please kindly get over it.

That's good, so why not admit NYC's primate status in this category? Everything here is good.

Flushing IS in NYC city limits, while Westminster isn't even in the same county as Los Angeles.

I should try those out next time I'm in LA. However, until I do, I still stand by my "NYC has the best pho" comment.

San Francisco has a wonderful array of food as does Vegas when it comes to the higher end. They're all good cities for food, but they're not New York. New York is the most popular and happening food city in the United States so please kindly get over it.
In the context of the rest of your post, you said that as if it was something that only pertained to NYC.
You weren't arguing that NYC was the most happening, you were arguing that there no category that NYC is not superior in which is obviously bogus. Just because NYC has everything doesn't mean they do everything well... there's a reason why NYC is known for its Jewish Delis and Pizzerias as opposed to its Mexican.

Do you really believe that in the 150 year + history of Chinese immigrants and Chinese Americans in the Bay Area, there aren't superior Chinese options - and lots of them? That would be as equally idiotic as arguing that there's better Italian in SF. Not that there aren't some great Italian places in SF, but... its no NY.

Ummm....NY Chinatown is around 150 years old as well.
In fact, it was founded in 1858, so that would make it 153 years old, only 10 years younger than SF's Chinatown. Nowadays, NYC's two Chinatowns individually are larger than SF's, with Brooklyn's on the way to beating it.
NY's Chinese population has been here nearly as long as the Italian or Jewish population. They are embedded into this city in a way you wouldn't believe.

Somehow, after having met dozens and dozens (hundreds?) of Asians who are 3rd, 4th, 5th generation American... I think that those of us out West here believe it quite well. In fact, we believe it so well, it's no longer really novel to most people out here...
