What are your favorite and least favorite Asian cuisines?

I'll start with mine, in order of most favorite to least favorite.

1. Thai
2. Chinese
3. Vietnamese
4. Indian
5. Japanese
6. Central Asian
7. Korean

Thai is my favorite because it's spicy, the variety of herbs and diverse flavors, and because most dishes have sauces.

Korean is my least favorite because I don't find most of the dishes particularly interesting. Many things are pickled and I'm just not a huge fan of pickled items.

In order of preference: Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Indian, Vietnamese, Filipino, Singaporean/Malaysian, Korean.

I have not eaten enough Central Asian food, Indonesian or Burmese food to offer an opinion.

I have not eaten often enough of all those to rank them. From my experience, my favorite is Chinese, which in itself has tremendous variety, and Vietnamese is second.

You need to add Indonesian to that list.

I'm really only familiar with Indian, Thai & Chinese. ANd of those, it's a tie between Indian & Thai, & Chinese last. Much US Chinese food is too sweet for me.

1. Thai
2. Indian
3. Japanese
4. Vietnamese
5. Korean -- it's a bit too meat-heavy for me
5. Chinese -- many dishes I like, but authentic Chinese food includes too many animals and animal parts I don't want to eat. "American" Chinese food is fine, but I'm aware that it's about as authentic as Taco Bell.

Haven't tried Central Asian cuisine.

I know this is probably sacrilegious to the average person, but am I the only person who likes Vietnamese food better than Chinese food?

What is Central Asian? Indian is South Central Asian. The others are all SE Asian. Asia is a huge continent which also includes the Middle East and Turkey along the Mediterranean.

Basically, any of the countries with a "STAN" at the end (Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, etc.).
