LA has a very diverse Asian population, with Chinese being just one among many large groups, like Koreans, Vietnamese, and Filipinos. In the US, I would say NY definitely has a larger Chinese population than LA. Don't know about the SF Bay Area.
LA's Asian population also seems more "legacy". Metro LA immigration has actually trailed off a lot in the past 10 years, compared to other places, and it's not getting nearly as many Asian or other immigrants as metro NY, or on a per capita basis, as the Bay Area.
