Answer :

For me, Asian faces are just as easy to read (usually) as any other. I’ve had many Japanese and Vietnamese, and Thai friends and we’ve had very few issues with communication. It’s an entirely different culture, so unless you know them and the culture well, I’m sure they can appear inscrutable at times. Especially for those of us who may be a tad extroverted lol.
