Which is better Japanese or Chinese?  

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

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 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 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.

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.

Vietnamese is the best Asian cuisine!

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 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..

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 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.
