I strongly agree with you on Chinese food, Sichuan, Szechuan food available in the US is a pale imitation of what's available in China, and far more expensive in the US.

Indian food available in restaurants, at least until very recently and now only in a few select cities, is not great in India. It is certainly more authentic but I can do with some ingredient improvement
