Japanese having a higher average rating than Chinese food is crazy, especially since their only exposure to Japanese food is likely sushi. Ramen doesn't count cause not even Japanese people think ramen is Japanese (cause it came from China).

E: jfc they also gave it a higher rating than Indian food, I'm calling this racist now.

Japanese cuisine is the blandest of all the Asian cuisines so it kinda tracks that Western Europeans prefer it. But it is also definitely racism cause Japanese culture still has this allure of being "sophisticated" relative to their neighbors.
