Those hat are only worn by Orthodox Jews and those are very rare to see outside Dallas and Houston. Most Texas Jews are of the Reform variety and you cannot tell them from the Baptists or Catholics. I know of no Asian style restaurant which is certified as Kosher so I doubt that even in Houston or Dallas you would find those hats in an Asian style restaurant.

I'm talking about a basic Black Fedora style. I believe they are also used by the Mennonites and the Amish, along with the Orthodox Jews. BlackFedora.jpg
They look like this.

And I was talking about the Yarmulke. As for eating Chinese food on Christmas here is a brief history:
The trend started in New York. Jews, Chinese and other immigrants from all over the world arrived in the latter part of the 19th century, Ken Albala, professor of history and chair of Food Studies at University of the Pacific's San Francisco campus told Mic. Most Jews moved to the Lower East Side in Manhattan, right below Chinatown, and intermingling was natural, especially with both groups equally passionate about cuisine. Eventually Jews spread out across the different boroughs of New York as did the Chinese restaurants, making it about proximity in addition to togetherness.
“So it was always a matter of proximity,” Albala explained. “And then, what's the only restaurant open on Christmas?” There was always a Chinese restaurant ready to dole out General Tso's on a Christian holiday. A tradition was born.”
Dietary restrictions also played a part. Jewish law restricts mixing milk and meat, and Chinese food is usually devoid of dairy. And although pork and shellfish, also restricted, are star ingredients in many a Chinese dish, the meat is diced and fried to the point that it becomes just kosher enough for at least the REFORM Jew. Chinese food is also just delicious.

I understand the mindset. If I can't recognize it as forbidden, then it's not.
When we were in Israel a couple of years ago, we spotted a Kosher McDonalds. Our guide told us that there were several in country and some other fast-food places as well. Each of them had a Rebe to ensure that they served the proper foods. That's a good way to put some of those Hassidim, who don't work in Israel, to good use.
