32 Best Asian Restaurants near Berkeley

“Very delicious authentic Asian cuisine. The pork and duck combo were magnificent. The owner/operator is super nice. Hong Kong ice milk tea is a great sipper on a hot day. I'm not sure about seating, but I took it to go, so it wasn't an issue. Very reasonable prices.“

“They have great Tso's and had the best pork fried rice a year ago, this visit it had less flavor but whatever seed oil they use to fry has good character. I'll be back, maybe it was just a bad batch. And it wasn't bad, just lacking.“

“Freshrolls and Bowls are my most favorite places where I have eaten at Berkeley location twice a week and sometimes at 4th street in SF and they both serve an amazing fresh food and homemade drinks.
I had two of their bowls and four fresh rolls this week and still want to come back for more , the bowls and rolls are filled with all fresh vegetables , look so pretty colorful and topping with the delicious well marinated grilled chicken or pork, the rolls are made so tight and with an crunchy crispy goodness in them to deliver an perfect harmony taste.
Their homemade limeade is impressive with a taste of fresh ginger and basil combined to deliver a refreshing delicious beverage, and also their Mint Lychee Jasmine Tea and Vietnamese Iced Coffee are also give an unforgettable experience.
Anyway , I would recommend this place a thousand times and thank you Freshrolls and Bowls.“

“Small shop with warm food and an open fridge section of sushi. There was also a wall of snacks. Prices are very reasonable. No verbal communication which I think is fine but the woman dropped my packed sushi upside down and then tossed it into a bag. Sushi rice was a bit too hard for my liking.“

“Liholiho is a fantastic restaurant! The space is modern and beautifully designed, with an open kitchen where you can watch everything being prepared, which adds a lot of energy and transparency to the dining experience.

The service was very friendly, attentive, and quick. The cocktails were excellent, and even the non-alcoholic one I ordered was made with care and tasted great.

The food was outstanding. The bun with beef tongue was extraordinary, the tuna tartare and ceviche were perfectly balanced and fresh, and the shrimps with crispy rice were especially memorable. All dishes showed creativity, originality, and were prepared with high quality ingredients.

For three people, including first and main courses, drinks, and one dessert, the bill came to $260, which I found fair for this level of quality. The only minus point is that the restaurant does not offer coffee, which would have been a nice way to finish the meal.

Overall, I really enjoyed everything at Liholiho. Highly recommended, and I hope I will get to return again!“

“Always delicious and awesome service!!!!“

“Base Camp was on our list for a few weeks and we just finally went for a late date night on a friday! The atmosphere was perfect - busy and full of people enjoying each other and beautiful food, but not crowded or loud. The owner woman greeted us and she was working HARD making sure everyone was having a nice experience. Our server was a handsome young man with a nice voice and great knowledge of the menu. We ordered 6 or 7 items total and we had a WONDERFULLY complex feast full of DELICIOUSNESS... Wow. I love the food here. Everything was amazing. I stuffed myself a bit more than I usually would just to try more things.“

“Service was fast and efficient. Food was good.“

“Deliciously wonderful unique food.“

“What a great experience! I especially love the chicken Goyza, pork dim sum and the Xiao Long Bao. I can’t wait to go back! Chef Suz ATX“

“Amazing quality and rich tasty food proportions are Awsome high class spot love it !!!!!! Never been to such an excellent Burmese restaurant!! Great cocktails service & food & price is outstanding I give it 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Dropped in for late lunch. Quick service, great food.“

“I enjoyed my Meal. I found the service excellent and Ti curry yum.“

“I rarely eat in here, but when I do I enjoy the atmosphere and service. Much more frequently, I do take out, and it is always great. The ingredients taste fresh and perfectly seasoned, and it is always on time. HB is probably my favorite spot for take out in Oakland.“

“Both the spicy numbing beef tendon and the spicy rib and noodle soup were delicious.“

“Kayah is another location of the Burma empire in SF. The location is quite nice, right next to the Chase stadium and hospital. The service is excellent, our server was attentive and took great care of us, answering questions about dishes in detail.

The good is where this place really falls short. We found the dishes to be quite bland and sometimes undercooked. We ordered the spicy noodles, which were not spicy at all and the noodles very very al dente. The several tofu dishes we ordered tasted identical, the paratha curry had very little flavor, it was just very disappointing. The saving grace was the tea leaf salad and the garlic eggplant dish, both were quite tasty. But for the price, I really expected more, both in quantity but especially quality.

We really wanted to like this place but will not be coming back.“

“Delicious pho ga. Soup is on point. Full of flavor.“

“Great food and service. My earring came off during dinner and I didn’t discover that it was missing until I got home. I called the next day and they went out of their way to find my favorite Christmas earring.“

“We’ve been coming to Noodle 21 for over 5 years now, and it continues to be one of our favorite spots! My husband introduced me to this place, and over time I found my perfect pho order — #21 with thin egg noodles, no bean sprouts, and soup on the side.

Back in August 2024, the original owner told us he was leaving and passing the business on to his partner. He was always so kind, always made time to chat with us, and greeted us warmly every visit. I was pregnant at the time, so sadly, he never got to meet our baby — but we’re happy to say we’ve kept coming back and still love it just as much as day one.

The staff now is just as welcoming. They remember us, they remember our baby, and it truly feels like a place that values its regulars. The food is consistently delicious, and the atmosphere is comforting and familiar. We’re so glad this spot continues to thrive, and we look forward to many more meals here as a family.“

“A Chinese friend introduced to this place many, many years ago, rediscovered it recently. Been there a number of times since, food good, prices low. Contrary to some reviews, I do not find staff to be rude, in fact they are friendly and approachable, esp when you are return customer. Husband and wife run the place, they are there all the time, work hard, long hours to make a living. I would recommend to anyone looking for a family restaurant with authentic Chinese cuisine!“

“Wow, really like the food. Visited this area for my wife's company event and found they have less spicier vegetarian option. After my kids loving the noodles, we ordered more . I really liked my spicy chicken noodle too. The quantity is good for the price we pay for. Definitely visit it again !!“

“got a light dinner here before keshi's sf concert! the place was surprisingly empty at 5pm and we were seated right away. we ordered the beijing noodles and pork xiaolongbao to split between four people. the dishes were flavorful and refreshing but the portions were teeny tiny for the price. i wouldn't eat here again out of consideration for my wallet.“

“We went last night and had a great time. The service, drinks and food were amazing! Loved our bartender, David! He offered suggestions and was very attentive.“

“Good mix of old school and new school. And really good hot pot broth!!!“

“My friend recommended this place and I went to try it with my husband on Friday night.
We ordered chili beef, tea leaf salad, orange chicken and all good and the tea leaf salad was really good.
I will definitely go back and try other dishes there.“

“Very good. I'm not really a fan of Chinese food but my son asked it was his birthday and the place we usually order from was closed. I have to admit it was really good. I ordered chicken chow mein, fried rice, beef broccoli, sweet sour pork, sesame chicken, and gyoza. Everything was delicious hot fresh flavorful and quick. Keep n mind this was the 4th of July, they were open and the guy who took my order was really nice and attentive. This will be my new spot“

“Fantastic! Get the stone cooked wqgyu beef appetizer!“

“Truly the king of sizzling pots. Boy when that pot comes out is it sizzling and hot.
Overall I find that the restaurant is pretty chill. The people working there seem cool and authentic, and the food is tasty too. The menu has a lot of different things to choose from so you can just eat what you like. The way it’s cooked is also really nice, as the texture of the meat is very tender.

For desert we got the fried bread and condensed milk. And it was tasty too, tantalized our taste buds“

“This place has been a staple for years. From the last time I was here until tonight… it hasn’t changed one bit. The quality and the service are on point and I just want to thank everyone here on this team and the ownership too. Cheers 🙏“

“I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and it exceeded all my expectations. The service was prompt, and the staff made us feel right at home. The food was a culinary masterpiece. The restaurant's ambiance is serene and tastefully decorated. A must-visit!“
