Yeah for a dinner on saturday for example, in a "all you can eat" mode it is cheap, I know it can sound crazy but other kind of restaurants choosing from the menu are much more expensive. in weekdays it is like 13USD maybe

Italian food: pasta and pizzas, losing popularity because it is expensive and people prefer fast food pizzas.
Mexican: some companies opened.

Then we have: Brazilian, Indian, Arabic, Greek... but less popular.
i noticed at the top you put 18 dollars and you call that cheap, you can honestly go to a nice buffet here in the states for 7 dollars.

You could also go the Flushing, Queens which has NYC's second (smaller) Chinatown.

When I was in Melbourne, I remember eating a lot of Greek food (not much Chinese back then).

Here in NYC there used to be Shandong Cuisine restaurant but it was taken over by regular American Chinese style owner.

Also there are kosher-style Uzbek restaurants. I believe that there is a Uyghur community in Uzbekistan.

In London:

-Indian
Curries, naan etc

-Turkish/middle eastern
Kababs

-Italian
Mainly pizza but the Americanised style

-General American cuisine
Burgers, SF chicken, "fries"

-Caribbean
Jerk chicken though I hardly see any other demographic other than Caribbeans going into these.

-Chinese
Mainly chow mein, fried rice, Chinese style ribs, chicken rather than the more exotic.

-Japanese
Sushi
