International foods in the US

Being Japanese when you hear the term of "Japanese foods" you'll probably imagine sushi, tempura, miso soup.
Well all above are in the menu but, for Americans sushi=norimaki ex:California rolls (don't worry sushi=nigiri so you don't have to worry about eating norimakis lol). And there are bunch of wierd combiations with the sushi rolls like... spicy mayonnaise with tuna and lettece, cheese cream with maguro. Also did you know that there's actually a tempura ice cream?! Actually it tasted great.
Other than Japanese foods Chinese foods are very funky. Like the "sweet and sour pork/chicken", the sauce is usually red ;b but it taste alright. Instead of hoiko-ro or chinjyao we have "beef and broccoli" and "orange chicken" which are very popular.
Some of the Asian foods probably sounds funky or might look strange they actually taste really good and most of the American foods are like that which is the surprising part.
