Thai.
But not Pad Thai, that shit is boring. Issan food or old school central Thai food with lots of fermented shrimp/fish. Some Mon influenced dishes are awesome too. Digging into a plate of Khao Chae after wandering around Bangkok in the April heat is the best. Sanguan Sri makes it best, Than Ying if you want a fancier royal style preparation, Saneh Jaan if you want an even more elaborate version from a Michelin starred restaurant.
Vietnamese is great too.

Japanese is king:
Steak / Wagyu
Sushi
Ramen / Udon / Soba soups and noodles
Kaiseki (high end multicourse meals)
Yakitori / BBQ
Tempura
Izakaya
Curry
The Japanese have alot of pride in their food and have high standards for preparation.

Colombian cuisine is the best. Nothing beats our tasty white rice with white arepas.

I would put Vietnamese, Mexican and Caribbean all way up there. I really need to get into making Japanese, it's next on my hit list for learning the flavors and techniques.

Are arepas similar to Pupusas from El Salvador or Gorditas from Mexico?

Georgian cuisine.
It's by no means an elaborated cuisine, but it's rather unique and tasty -a blend of middle eastern (with less high-fat dishes), balkanic and russian, with lots of different spices and herbs (coriander, tarragon, ect ect). Walnuts and pomegranate are also very present. As raw vegetables. It's an healthy food.
Contrarily to what one might think, there's a lot of excellent russian/FSU dishes, as expected from a region that covered approximately one sixth of the earth's land surface. Uzbek cuisine comes to mind too, but also pelmeni and vareniki, that are great "fast food". Siberian dishes are also great, and not just Kamchatka crabs. Siberia has lots of undiscovered herbs, and venison may taste fantastic with them.
Cuisine from north Brasil is great too (maniçoba, pato no tucupi, vatapa or the incredibly tasty amazonian fishes) - most often cooked with manioc or incredible amazonian herbs ... Bahianese moqueca (seafood cooked in coconut milk and spices) is also mouth watering.

Hands down, nothing beats Peruvian food - it's such an awesome fusion of Spanish, Andean, African, Japanese and Chinese cuisine.
Other than that:
- Italian
- Indian
- Japanese
- Mexican
- Thai
But then again - taste is something that one can argue about...

Chinese food is still the best for me because I am ethnically Chinese and Chinese food is one of the things that I love the most about my Chinese heritage. Cantonese style Chinese food and Chaozhou style Chinese food are my most favourite among all because they are healthier and lighter than the other styles of Chinese food, although I also appreciate the other styles of Chinese food.
Other foods like Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indian, Italian, French, Indonesian, and Spanish are all great as well.
