33 Best Asian Restaurants near Berkeley

“On campus and easy eats. They’re quick and the food is good. The chicken is real rotisserie. I got the Japanese curry chicken and rice. Seating does get crowded with all the students around but is not impossible to find. You might just need to go outside“

“Used to go here when the original owners were there. New owners now food is still good. Little different cooking style. But the items that I have ordered were good. I always take my food to go since I live pretty close by. Still exploring the menu. Haven't been disappointed yet.“

“I have had a few bad ban mi’s and I’ve been skeptical since. This place might have changed my mind. The chicken and ingredients were so fresh and flavorful. My ONLY complaint is that the bread was a little stale. Everything else hmm how do you say “bussed”? Give them a try!“

“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.“

“It was our first time and we were definitely pleased. Everything was delicious!“

“Always delicious and awesome service!!!!“

“My favorite spot to pickup lunch in the area - tasty, fresh, healthy. My favs are sheking beef and thai basil pork.

So delicious and quick! Rice & veggie bowl with the BBQ pork belly. Beets were super fresh. I preferred the pork belly to my friend's chicken. Prepared so fast and was very tasty.“

“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.“

The food is so delicious! The owners are so kind and provided excellent customer service. I would recommend for everyone to stop by and support if you are ever in the area 😊!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Solid Chinese yum, not the standard Chinese-American.

Popo Noodles, with rice-wine braised pork belly is savory, soy-based comfort; egg noodles cooked to still-chewy perfection, dressed for flavor but still dry. Pickled Bamboo Shoots add-on, a must, to cut through the light meat fat.

A good option when at Spark Social.“

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

“Kayah by Burma Love is located at Thrive City adjacent to Chase Center, home of the NBA Golden State Warriors. It's a great place to grab dinner & drinks before a Warriors game! Kayah server Burmese street dishes (tea leaf salad, Roti Partha w/ peanut/chili dip, lollipop chicken, ..) and assume signature coaktails“

“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.“

“We are happy we tried this place. The servings are for sharing and quite good. The staff are nice and attentive to the order. I am not sure how authentic the food here but I can tell the quality and taste of the food is very good. :) We will try other food in the menu next time. The price of the food is reasonable. :)“

“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!“

“Great food, terrible service.

The waiter Henry was mean from the get go, every time we asked something he responded in a rude manner.

This was after a game, so it’s unacceptable the wey he treated us as costumers and game-goers.

Would come back, but avoiding being in Henry’s service.“

“I recently tried the chicken Khao Piek at this restaurant, a flavorful rice noodle dish reminiscent of Bánh Canh for those familiar with Vietnamese cuisine. While I was slightly disappointed that it did not include pork blood cubes, the dish was still enjoyable, enhanced by a generous amount of chili oil that added a pleasant kick. The service was warm and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere made the dining experience even more inviting. Prices were reasonable, making this restaurant a great option for both casual meals and more deliberate culinary explorations. Overall, the combination of tasty, well-prepared dishes, friendly staff, and welcoming ambiance makes this spot a strong choice for anyone seeking authentic flavors. I am already planning to return to explore more of the menu.“

“We eat here once a month. We love the food and service . We also do pick up . Take note , if you do take out / delivery / pick up MUST heat the food in its container (alum trays) mix until water disappears and left with only that super good smell of Szechuan chili oil and herb. It will not disappoint!!!! I just put mine on top of the stove.“

“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!“
