Weekly Viz 2025-05-05
Asian Restaurants in the US
This month is the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month in the US. Therefore, the dataset I visualize this week is also related to Asian in the US – the cuisine breakdown of Asian restaurants here. It originally comes from a research by Pew Research Center in 2023.
My Visualization
The visualization is a waterfall view that shows the % of each cuisine in an incremental way. But please note that the totals exceed 100% given some restaurants serve more than one cuisine.
Please notice that all the visualizations are designed for desktop view, so it is recommended to view them on a desktop device.
Insights
- The most popular cuisines among Asian restaurants are Chinese (39%) and Japanese (28%), both exceeding 1/4;
- According to the research, 12% of all restaurants in the United States serve Asian food, and there are eight counties where over 1/4 restaurants serve Asian food – King County WA, San Francisco CA, San Mateo CA, Santa Clara CA, Alameda CA, Honolulu HI, Queens NY, and Fairfax VA.
