Which is better Japanese or Chinese?

I love Japanese more than Chinese cooking. I love Sushi.

I didn't touch on Nipponese cuisine previously, but from my childhood, it was and is one of my favourite cuisines. Partly because of the mysticism that surrounded a particular Japanese restaurant my parents would take us to every few years in the city. It was a fantastical mystical place. It began with the komono clad hostess that met us at the door and lead us over the little arched bridge and through a garden to the main dining room. Along the way we would get a quick glimpse of the sushi bar. The main room was surrounded with the sliding rice paper walls of the "private" tea rooms. All of which just made the place magical to a child! Of course as a child, my favourite dishes were the shrimp tempura and teriyaki. My tastes grew as I did and now I am more fond of sitting at the sushi bar enjoying sashimi and handrolls. One of the most intriguing aspects of Nipponese cuisine is the presentation, it is one of the most intricate of all cuisines and is steeped in legend and tradition. I love getting a real Bento Box for lunch, it's so much fun opening all the little food gifts. And least I forget, a big bowl of Miso is a great way to chase away a cold! Thanks Des for selecting my earlier answer as your favourite!

oh yeah i love both to !!! I really could eat both all the time I dont eat that ginger sauce but instead i get all white sauce (the shrimp sauce ) and i dip everything in it You are right about the Japanese rice being better !!!! Oh i want some now I might have to order some tomorrow for my lunch at work LOL

I don't think that one is better than the other, I think they are both good. It just depends on which mood I am in. There are not a lot of good japanese restaurants in my hometown, but there is a really good Chinese restaurant. My husband loes to cook, and he can cook almost anything.

I like both and agree, Sesame Chicken is really good, but I am a bit partial to Japanese tempura dishes. I like sweet and sour battered chicken, and I love Tempura Banana with Toffee Sauce. Yummy!!! Brightest Blessings.

lol you know me. this thread is twisted lol . I love japanese food espically sushi which I just told you how to make 5 mins ago lol. and chinese food is the bomb to espicaly bonesll spare ribs and genral tsos chicken lol. and what about grand china rofl

Granted, taste is individual, but from experience and experimentation I rank the major Asian cuisines as follows: Vietnamese 1st, Thai/Khmer 2nd, Japanese 3rd, Chinese 4th, and Indian and Korean tied for 5th. This is by no means a comment on quality, each of these cuisines is of high quality and contain a variety of ingredients. I have eaten several of these cuisines in their native countries, and at both high-end restaurants and street-vendor stalls. - I've eaten Thai in Bangkok and Khmer in Siem Reap. - In Shenzhen Guangdong (Canton in English) China I of course had Cantonese, and also in Hong Kong. I found the Chinese food in Taipei Taiwan to be more like Fujian of the mainland. I have eaten all these cuisines at American restaurants all across the country. A cuisine I forgot to mention is Malay, which I have sampled in both Kuala Lumpur and in America. Which is a bit courser than the more refined Asian cuisines and in general is quite spicy. I pick Vietnamese for the top slot because of not only its unique components but also its fusion of Chinese elements, French influences, and the citrus and curries of Thai. The American-Chinese cuisine is mostly based on Cantonese with a bit of Hunan and Szechuan to add some serious spice. 19th century Chinese immigrants who came to America to work on building the western railroads created a style of Chinese food not found in China by utilizing local ingredients and catering to the western American tastes.

I don't know if I have ever tried Japanese but I do like Chinese..I love the chicken and broccoli..General Taos Chicken, the fried rice is very good...I like any of the dishes that have chicken in them and also the pork one..

I think it's not that fair to compare Chinese and Japanese based on what you have in the U.S. the Japanese restaurants in US are pretty much at the same level as those in Japan. But what Chinese restaurants cook are very different from the restaurants in China. And you don't have the opportunity to try many really amazing Chinese dishes in US. If you really like Chinese food, maybe you'd like to try them in China :)

I prefer Japanese food myself. I love to make sushi at home, it is sooo good:) The last time I visited Okinawa, Japan was when I was 17, and I was so lucky to experience their wonderful restaurants. The bread from their bakerys can be so addictive:) I'm craving some right now lol.

I like both, I have chinese food almost everyday but I still like it very much. Sometimes I would have Japanese for lunch and Chinese for supper. Tonight I'm gonna have Hotpot, which I think is a type of chinese..um..yum..yum

i dont think one race is better then another even though i like chinese food beter then japenese.

I love chinese but never tried japanese but i've always wanted to try sushi. Is it good? I could always go for a nice Indian though. Even though I don't like really spicy stuff I love chicken kurma lol and onion barjees. But chinese is definitely best. I love aromatic crispy duck pancakes and shredded chilli beef and special fried rice with sweet and sour sauce and of course chicken chow mein. :)

Me too i like them both, if you like sesame chicken you should try General tao chicken, its a bit more spicy depending on whoever cooked it. As for japanese food, sushi is the most popular dish. If you want to go more into the japanese culture, you should try Okonomiyaki or Yakisoba.

I also like both, but I think I tend to choose Japanese more than Chinese food. Mostly because I really like things grilled and I find them more in Japanese food than chinese. Chinese tends to have more fried stuff and I don't eat fried things that much.

Vietnamese is the best Asian cuisine!

I can't decide. Plus some dishes can be found in each others cuisines (dumplings, fried rice, nikuman, ramen/noodles). If I had to choose I'd say Chinese is slightly better, but the jury is still out on it. Japanese has a lot of dishes that are fantastic (sushi, miso, takiyoki, eel, wakame, tonkatsu).

I like to eat chinese becuase it gives good taste. Being south asian i like to eat some spicy foods and the chinese recipes are quit similar to my triditional dishes like fried rice, nuggets etc. I like minchoriyan, hot and sour soup and fried rice very much.

Hello,I’m winney from China. If you would like to learn chinese or Japanese. I can teach u both of them.

Each country has its culture and characteristics.As we stand facing a choice,our own choice,the choice of our own is worth pursuing.Perhaps you will reget it,at least we know the truth.
