Difference between chinese and japanese food?!
Answers: what's the difference and can anyone tell me something good to order from a Japanese restaurant.
japanese food is good... order pork fried rice!
hibachi chicken or beef are safe choices if you have never been to a Japanese Restaurant. Usually comes with teriyaki sauce. It is good with steamed white rice. If they serve sushi, you should try the Spider Roll, which is fried softshell crab, cucumber, avocado rolled in rice and seaweed paper. That is really good.
To the poster above me, pork fried rice isn't Japanese food. It's Americanized Chinese food.
Chinese food tends to be heavier - more spices, more grease - and Japanese food tends to be lighter and more mild. Japanese food is my favorite so I am biased and want to tell you to order anything, because it will be good.
If you want soup, try tempura nabeyaki (nah-bay-yak-ee). It has a few pieces of tempura (lightly fried shrimp), chicken, udon (fat noodles), and vegetables (cabage, bean sprouts). You could always try sushi, too. If you're daring, go for the raw fish - tuna, salmon, and yellow tail are particularly common. Or just stick with the California roll - cooked crab (usually fake), avocado, and cucumber. Please, please, PLEASE do not order chicken teriyaki. You can't even find that Americanized crap in Asia.
chinese food is good and japanese food sucks =P
