LA has a ton of Far Eastern + Persian + Armenian, but lacks all the mountainous Central Asian countries, for the most part. I don't think they have a lot from the -stan countries, the old Silk Road locales.

NYC has visible Uzbecki, Tajik (mostly Bukharan), Ugihur (technically China but really Turk), Georgian, Nepalese and Tibetan communities.

But I still think Vancouver is the obvious answer. It may lack Asian diversity but the comparable % is massive. And Han Chinese are the ascendant dominant culture in the city, analagous to Cubans in Miami 20 years ago. NYC and LA will probably never be Asian-dominated cities like Vancouver.
