My experience is that until you get the concentrated areas you don't get the actual diversity of the foods. When you have large areas of the same culture you start to get regional restaurants from the culture, specialty restaurants from the calture, because the market is big enough and business needs to distinguish themselves. You also get the ingredients as there's a big enough market to import them. When you don't have the concentration you just get the generic representation of the food from that country.

LA is much less dense than London so maybe you need concentration for those things, but we don't. We don't really have monocultural ghettoes. The beauty of London is how dense and intermixed it is. Cheek by jowl, as Shakespeare wrote.

    Restaurant density

        Tokyo  10/1000
    LA     3/1000
    London 1/1000

      That’s per person, not per unit area, and the figure for London is incorrect as per any information I could find.

      Did you know 82% of stats are made-up? You've not bothered with a source or even any units. Poor effort.
