I honeslty drive to the main chinatown because i actually feel like I'm in china for a mile, the people walking on the streets are all just Asian just like the feel, think i might go for some Russian food in the Russian village

Indian
Chinese
Japanese (sushi)
French (mainly gourmet)
Norwegian (mainly sea food, Christmas food - like lutefisk)

Well you might want to go to Rego Park, Queens for a Bukharian experience or to Brighton Beach/Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn for an Odessan experience. Both are Russian speaking areas of people that came from different republics of former USSR and have different cuisines.

Thai food and Mexican food I'd say. Also Middle Eastern food. Chinese food here in Portland is exceptionally bad sadly.

No suprise as most Australians do not like British & Irish cuisine, they love the other cuisines.

I forgot Japanese as no 2 or even equal first now! Seriously, there are too many sushi/Japanese places...

I often see little kids eating raw fish...certainly a big no no for me at that age...

A lot of British cuisine like meat pies, roast dinners, fish'n'chips isn't even really seen as British just Australian though.
