25 Best Asian Restaurants in Los Angeles

“Everything was amazing, the tea was heavenly. I just wish I knew what kind of tea they use. I fell in love with the toast, and I was so surprised that I couldn’t get it to go — I wanted to take three more with me 😭 Can someone explain why that is?“

“Rasarumah is a great find and well deserving of its Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition. I came here with a friend and we ordered a few dishes to share, and everything we had was excellent.

The char kway teow stood out right away. The stir-fried noodles had great flavor and texture, with Chinese sausage and fried fish cake adding a nice balance of savory and slightly sweet notes.

We also ordered the fried Hainan chicken with garlic rice. The chicken was crispy on the outside while still juicy, and the garlic rice was fragrant and really satisfying.

For dessert we finished with the cendol sundae with coconut pandan ice cream. It was refreshing and a great way to end the meal, with the pandan and coconut flavors coming through nicely.

Overall, a really enjoyable meal and a spot I would happily come back to.“

“A really wonderful dining experience! The food is so creative while maintaining integrity to both Thai and Japanese cuisines. It was really fun to be all seated at the bar for the Autumn kaiseki menu. The sommelier was so fun and friendly and recommended not only incredible wines, but bonus sake tastings well. it's the kind of place that does a fixed menu, but you wanna keep going back because it rotates and everyone's so friendly a perfect blend of upscale and Neighbourhood vibe..“

“The food is sooooo good!!! It’s my comfort food now but the service is awful…We were the only customers in the restaurant at that time. When I asked for two pairs of chopsticks at the counter, the staff member appeared to ignore me completely. I had to repeat my request twice before she reluctantly looked up and threw the chopsticks at me. The service was disappointing and unnecessarily rude.“

“Really excited about this restaurant, one of the few Chinese American restaurants serving refined Chinese dish with a twist. We were seated immediately once everyone in our party of 4 has arrived. It is an open kitchen concept so you could take a peek of the action from the dining room. We visited this place after it just made the Michelin guide list, so there was quite a buzz on that Sunday evening. The cocktail selections are great and tasty, interesting mixes of East and West. The sesame sourdough and the seaweed butter are excellent. The wagyu beef tongue carpaccio is a bit too saucy. The duck sausage meatball and the Poached scallops are good but nothing special. The Roasted fish, Grilled short rib and the fried chicken are amazing and well prepared and seasoned. However the Roast Pork is chewy and not very good. Vanilla sponge dessert is delicious.“

“RUN DONT WALK to this restaurant the food was truly phenomenal, ordered the sushi omikase for 80$ a person the variation of different fish and the quality of the cuts was amazing. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Parking is a bit limited but it’s definitely worth the trip.“

“My first time there and I had a really great time, the food was delicious and our Servers were Amazing. Loved it!!“

“good. service the. Lady. snow. that's. does. my. pedi. she. does. a. good job“

“I’ve been coming here for years because I literally live a block away. The place has increased in price since I first came here and the menu has changed and what I used to get is no longer on the menu. LION KING ROLL is my goto. It’s delicious. However….. Today as I approached the counter to get my food, a homeless girl walks in barges right next to me as my order is being processed and given to me, and asks “y’all got any miso soup?!?” Stinky and obviously covered in filth, no bath for probably years and a dirty soiled blanket wrapped around her, I was instantaneously disgusted. Miso soup was given to her and I don’t know what else because I got outta there before she could even ask me for money or whatever! You feed a pigeon and what happens??? A dozen or more come. This is a simile; a point I’m trying to make. Homeless are the root of the problems here in Koreatown. You feeding them is the hand the feeds the problem.“

“First time tonight, but definitely not the last! They have a great delicious variety of Thai & Vietnamese food. It is a cozy spot with a great vibe. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Their prices are reasonable and they have free parking available (limited) as well.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing ramen! New favorite spot.
Stopped by Chibiscus for lunch, and it totally blew me away. I ordered the ramen, and it was a solid 10/10.
The broth was rich, flavorful, and had the perfect depth to it. Exactly what you look for in a great ramen.
The toppings were incredibly fresh. The egg was cooked to perfection with that nice, jammy yolk, the bean sprouts added a great crunch, and the meat was super tender.
The portion size is great—definitely leaves you full and satisfied.
The place is clean, the service is fast, and the vibe is very welcoming. If you’re looking for authentic, comforting ramen, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!“

“We've been coming here for 20 years and I think this is the best Thai food in Los Angeles. They use high quality meat and seafood and the taste is very authentic. Their chicken basil and spicy shrimp are a couple of our favorites. The staff here are so sweet. Family owned and operated. Thai food absolutely does not get better than this!!!“

“Going here is a trade-off: you get good food quality and quantity, but the service and vibe are bad. You’ll eat well, but the hostess might be rude and you’ll likely have to wait. $30 for all-you-can-eat sushi is a fair price for those concessions.

The tablet ordering is good because you don’t have to deal with the staff. Once you actually sit down and start ordering, the service is quick. The sushi was high quality and Menu A has enough variety. They constantly nag you about the 90-minute limit, the wait times between rounds, and the extra charges for unfinished food. It’s annoying, but it won't stop me from stuffing my face.“

“10 out of 10!!!
Wow exceeded my expectations
A Must go! I’ve been to so many Asian bowl places! This is my fave!

Got the rainbow don (included piping hot miso)
Lots of warm rice with furikake-like seasonings
It doesn't even need spicy mayo and all those other things poke places have“

“Seeing other customers throwing money at the server, seemingly because they scanned a takeout qrcode to dine in, and seeing the server cry on Thanksgiving，anyway treating a server like that is rude and barbaric. I also hope the restaurant can adjust the spiciness of their hot pot it's just too spicy“

“Delicious food, Always good quality. I have been going here weekly for over a year. The only thing that is frustrating, is that their closing time is not accurate with what they have it listed on google, I’ve had doordash orders go through that never came in, and i showed up to the location to be denied.. 30 minutes before listed closing time.“

“Vegan review:

The food quality is really great. Tastes fresh and crunchy and its really good. I got the vegetable roll and it was good. Only reason for 4 stars is price. For what it is and where it is and how much was in the roll, especially it being only vegetables, it was quite expensive. I mean not too much but for the price a larger quality would be better.“

“Good food, I got the #1 and the portions were very filling. They offer samples of the teriyaki chicken which got me to order the dish. Although the actual dish wasn't as sauced, the meat was still tender and tasty. Only downside was that some bites of rice were uncooked.“

“Was in yesterday for my daughter's University graduation dinner. She chose to come as this is a place we visited many times before and the food is always delicious. Also it's a nice cool fun vibe!! Sandra our waitress was very attentive to my party of 12!! Thanks again everyone for making our time with friends and family special!!“

“Love this place! Me and my boyfriend come here frequently and get the lamb kebabs, spicy noodle soup, stuffed mushrooms and fish cakes. The food tastes almost like a Korean/Mediterranean fusion. Their menu is huge and every time I try something new it tastes amazing. Their side dishes are often changing which keeps it interesting. The atmosphere is fun with lots of lights and tv’s often playing K-pop. We come late at night to see our favorite server who often gives us free gifts and is very welcoming. You won’t regret trying it out!“

“The ambiance, food and service is great! Will be back definitely 💯!“

“For all you vegans and vegetarians out there, the tofu banh mi is SPECTACULAR. Don’t sleep on O Bahn Mi. Great lunch at an old school price. Might be two lunches depending on your appetite! Limited seating but you can usually snag a spot. Thai coffee is sweet and has that caffeine kick.“

“Muy buena comida y buena atención!💯“

“Was recommended to me by two people so decided to try it. It was busy for a mid-week evening. I quickly sat at the bar since most seating was full. I ordered a Spicy Tuna Handroll, Rainbow Roll, and the Spanish Mackerel. The price was definitely more than I usually pay but it was definitely fresh quality. The staff was nice and attentive. Would definitely stop by again and try some other items that caught my eye. Parking was not hard to find.“

“Food was good. Pork estofado is the best.
But their system is kinda chaotic the labels for the food dont match the food it is on. Or sometimes the food doesn’t have label/name on it so you would have to guess or point the food out to the server which is inconvenient if there is a long line. Please put names on the individual food.“
