I asked a woman in Kyoto how the sushi in America compared to the sushi in Japan. She'd had sushi all over Japan, and in San Francisco and Los Angeles. She said sushi is pretty much the same all around the world because real Japanese sushi chefs travel all over the world and open restaurants and spread the gospel of sushi-making. There's still crappy sushi everywhere too. But the good expensive sushi is the same all over the world. I can only say that about sushi though, because it's the only Japanese food that Americans and the rest of the world are so eager to import. I'm still looking for a place to get okonomiyaki in America. I heard they have it at a place in the Japantown in San Francisco. I gotta go czech it out when I have some money.
Akuma's right about Chinese food and Mexican food. I doubt I've ever had real Chinese food, but I've had real stuff in a couple places in Mexico and it was amazing, and way better than American tacos and burritos. I had quesadillas with shrimp and mango in them. I had an octopus tostada. And in Los Angeles I would eat at the taco trucks in Highland Park and eat tons of lengua constantly. Lengua is the best meat in the world. I can't find it where I am in Oakland though. Life is horrible now.
