Is this what you have discovered?  Or is it possible that the large
Korean-American population in this area makes it likely that more
restaurants will be operated by them than by Japanese-Americans?
Should Korean-owned restaurants not offer Japanese food?

While I generally prefer Korean food, I appreciate the variety
available in Korean-Japanese restaurants and it hasn't occurred to
me to evaluate the restaurant by looking at the ethnicity of its
ownership.  

Maybe this will come across as overly-PC, but it seems to me that
your language--unintentionally or not--maligns some people who
have added a great deal to our quality of dining...I hope you'll
feel as I do about <cliche warning on> variety being the spice
of life!
