The main exception I would note is American Chinese food, though that's because those menus tend to list every possible combination of a handful of core proteins, sauces, and side dishes.

Matrix menus like that are a clear "menu smell" as well: there's no way random combos like satay salmon actually taste good. In China itself, restaurants are so competitive that they tend to specialize in only a few items.

Another exception is probably classic dutch fast food restaurants. Almost everything is either fried or grilled straight from the freezer.
