Frisco Went From 11% to 34% Asian in a Decade — Here's What It Eats

A decade ago, one in nine Frisco residents was Asian. Today it's more than one in three — driven by a six-fold jump in the Indian population as tech and healthcare workers settled north of Dallas.

Demographics are abstract. Dinner isn't. Here's what the boom built:

• Korean BBQ and seolleongtang along the Carrollton–Plano corridor
• Dosa houses and curry kitchens in Frisco and Irving
• Boba shops on every corner — the second generation's drink of choice
• Chinese bakeries doing pineapple buns for the morning crowd

New communities mean new restaurants competing for regulars — better food, better prices, for everyone.
