Why do people expect Asian food to be cheap (in western countries)?
I see people easily pay what 20, 30 bucks for a normal Italian dish or French cuisine.
Why not Asian food? Asian food needs just as much prep. It needs just as much skill. The ingredients needed cost the same.
Labor costs the same as it would in the US as it would for any other US restaurant.
Beef Pho takes ages to make the soup. Spring rolls and dumplings take a lot of skill to make beautifully.
Where did this notion come from?
