The typical Asian food found in western countries is often fried and generally has a lot of grease, which is clearly unhealthy. However, in Asian countries (this is based largely on my experience with Korean culture), the typical diet consists of more rice, more vegetables, and less meat than what is found in the typical Western diet.

So the answer is yes and no. Chinese takeout is not healthy to eat on a day to day basis; my guess is that it wouldn't be much better than frequently eating at McDonalds. Authentic 'Asian' food can be healthier (meals that include more fresh vegetables, grains, etc), but in the end, Asian food can be just evaluated just like any other food. Just look at the ingredients and avoid greasy, deep-fried foods.
