NYC has a swath from Queens going down through Brooklyn, then Staten Island and finally to Northern New Jersey of people from the ex-Soviet Central Asian countries. That Uzbek food is something wonderful.
Jackson Heights in Queens has a growing Nepalese community which is quite rare in the US.
People have heard of China Towns in several US cities. Parts of California have Japanese and Korean communities. How about some other areas not widely known.
Did you know that in parts of south Louisiana there are communities of people from Vietnam? They’re mostly located in the area of New Orleans and along the coast as commercial fishermen fishing for shrimp and other seafood.
Do you know of any other communities?
Houston should rank among top 5 . You can see a sizable Chinese, Koren, Vietnamese churches here and that's not just in one area but many areas. And a lot of University professors and students as well.
Ellicott City, MD (a suburb to the west of Baltimore) has a large Korean community, and a somewhat smaller Chinese community. The Korean presence is so pronounced that U.S. 40 was dedicated as Korean Way through the town.
Boca Raton, FL used to have a Japanese agricultural community called Yamato Colony. It hung on until the residents were dispersed during World War II. One of them returned to his land in adjacent Delray Beach after the war and farmed it until the 1970s, when he donated it to Palm Beach County to create a park. Today it is the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, which are well worth a visit if you're ever down that way. One of Boca Raton's major east-west roads is named Yamato Road in honor of the colony.

I know of a few locals here in China who have lived in Houston at some point and also a few expats who resettled there with their mixed families so they had access to the community. Texas in general is a lot more diverse than a lot of people give it credit for.

Texas is conservative, but diverse in demographics.
Most Chinese communities are found in big cities(or metropolitan areas), Dallas, Houston, SF Bay, Boston, NYC, etc. Whether the big city is in Texas or California doesn't matter that much.
Actually, rural California isn't more progressive/diverse than rural Texas.
However, there are a few big cities where the Asian population is quite low. Notable examples are Miami are San Antonio.
Houston has a suburb called Sugar Land and it's roughly 50% Asian and half of that are Chinese residents, and the other half mixed with Indians, Vietnamese and other Asian groups. It's actually a really nice town and everyone lives and respects each other and the different backgrounds.

Rural CA, WA, and OR are much more conservative than most people would gather, and you'll find a ton of push back against the government and governor, if the current one is democrat - I know a lot of people who absolutely loathe Gavin Newsom...
Interestingly a lot of the rural communities north of Vallejo up past Sacramento have sizable Asian communities. I remember taking a co-worker from Ireland on a mini-roadtrip through Norcal and we stopped at a Ross somewhere off the 5 in the middle of nowhere to get sunglasses. The complex had a bunch of Asian restaurants, and nearly everyone shopping inside the Ross and adjacent supermarket were Asian... Across the street from the complex were some newer houses and then just farmland as far as you could see.
In north Atlanta metropolitan area they have a city called Chamblee. Lots of Cambodian's so they started calling it Chambodia.
Indian's are not mentioned in this thread but of course they are also Asian. North Atlanta also has an Indian residential community that is actually very elite and prosperous. Of course, I think every city in the US has a sizable community of Indians.
