Well let's just say in general then. I know it varies for each ethnicities. And for the record, there's still plenty of Korean stuff in Houston
Not really. There is their "Koreatown" in Spring Branch, but its tiny. Houston's Korean population is barely larger than Austins despite being three times the size. Dallas and Atlanta both have several times more Koreans despite Houston having more Asians than Dallas and a lot more than Atlanta.

Technically, he's correct, when you look at the city proper population. At the CSA level, L.A. has slightly more Asians, but they're diffused over more area than NYC.
Actually after reviewing the numbers for diversity in general, Washington DC/Baltimore CSA looks incredibly impressive. It's probably a top 5 most diverse/cosmopolitan/international/global city (in terms of demographics) in the entire planet now.
It's Latino and/or Hispanic population just crossed 1 million by CSA and will by MSA in 2-4 years. It's Asian population as a CSA is 880,000 and its growth is very quick, topping 1 million in 4-5 years tops and as an MSA its Asian population (over 725,000) should cross 1 million by 2023. It already has a massive black population that is over 1.5 million as an MSA and over 2.5 million as a CSA. Its white population is massive and diverse as well (easily top 10 in the United States in both categories), several millions for both MSA and CSA and one of the largest in the United States.
When Washington's MSA and CSA Asian population crosses 1 million in a few years it'll join only New York and Los Angeles with that distinction of having all 4 of its major groups over 1 million people. By percentages it is even more impressive, all groups are already over 10% at MSA level and at CSA all will be over 10% within the next 1-2 years. That's only bested by New York in the United States (Los Angeles' Black percentages don't top over 10%).
In about a decade, Chicago, Houston, and Dallas/Fort Worth will join New York, Los Angeles, and Washington DC with having all 4 major groups above 1 million persons by both MSA and CSA. Houston, Chicago, and Dallas/Fort Worth will join New York and Washington DC with having all 4 major groups over 10% of their MSA and CSA populations.
Washington DC is increasingly becoming a city for everyone in the most literal sense.

I dont think there is any question about it. DC, in my opnion, is the third most multicultural metro area in the US after NYC and LA. Bay Area should be 4th and Houston should be 5th.
Miami is tough to categorize. Its exceptional in its diversity from Latin America, the Caribbean, and even Europe, but severely lacks Asian and African diversity.
It depends. There's cities with some Asian people in them AND there's cities that have things that Asian people do.
NY, LA, and SF have a ridiculous amount of Japanese karaoke bars, Korean BBQ places, and vast Chinatowns just as an example. You don't even need to learn English in those places.
The others are different. Boston's Chinatown is terrible. Seattle and DC have more or a Asian-American population that blend into the regular population. If you are just an Asian-American looking to hang out with other AAs and do American stuff, then those places are fine.
It's not in the US, but Toronto can hang. There's a sh@tload of Asians there, a sh@tload of Asian places. It's a bit light on the Korean side and heavy on the Chinese side, but there's like 2 or 3 full size Chinatowns there.

True that! Toronto's Asian community is HUGE and it is SUPER diverse. Moreso than Vancouver even whose Asian community skews towards Hong Kong expats and Punjabis.

That's a bit oversimplified. In the DC area, you'll find quite a lot of Asian restaurants, grocery stores, places of worship, cultural and religious functions going on.
Not on the same scale and concentration as NYC, LA and SF. But it is ubiquitous.
So no individual city in California has 1 million+ Asian people? Like I said, I was shocked when I went to SF and saw Asian people. It's not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of SF. Asians moving to NYC -- makes sense. Asians moving to LA -- doesn't make as much sense but its still a major city. SF -- not at all.
You're aware Asia is closer to California, right? Asians moving to any city in California is not far-fetched.
Were you being sarcastic?
