Is a Shawarma shop asian because the middle east is in asia. How about Afghan food, it is solidly central asia. Is sri lankan asian how about indonesian or malay? Indian?

I mean I think all these are asian it would just feel inappropriate if this ended up with only east asian places labeled as asian. Why not just use the country's name? I hope Googlers know "asian" isn't a race outside of "social construct" regional similarities in cuisine hower exist so maybe southeast-asian but I would prefer to know what country. Are they serving kimchi for sure or nah??

Country is awkward too. Like I know a Japanese place owned by a Korean guy who has Vietnamese staff. Food is delicious

I only thought of the cuisine they served not who owns it or works there. Why would I care about that?

[themodelplumber]

You can't think of a reason? For example: You bring your friend there, they are from that country, they try their language, it doesn't work, embarrassing moment for everybody.

And about 1000 other reasons.

They should use the local language? English in US cities that is. How else do they get busienss in the local economy??

[themodelplumber]

I don't think you understood the point.

You're probably right, I concede.

Similarly taco joint owned by a “Korean” man. Food is Mexican owner is American but of Asian ancestry…
