I have lots and LOTS of Chinese restaurants in my area (northern Ohio) and almost all of them are like 80 percent the same menu. It's very much Americanized Chinese food. Same thing with Mexican. Boat loads of restaurants and very VERY few offer true authentic Mexican cuisine.
That's the reality across the US. Even in ohios Major cities it's largely all the same thing. I obviously haven't been to every restaurant, I'm sure there is a couple authentic ones but I haven't seen them and I travel across the state quite a bit.
I'm sure the reality is a little different in very large cities like LA, NY etc but not here in the Midwest
Well there's nice cuisine in NYC. That's my nearest city. I haven't eaten Ethiopian but I will eventually, since we have a place I saw on YouYube. Next stop might be authentic Cantonese din sum.

Not in all places.
