15 Best Asian Restaurants near Palo Alto

“Fast friendly service and delicious food“

“Peaceful oasis after a stressful day of meetings.

The chicken soup broth was healing. Lightly herbal, full of veggies. The owner is really sweet and I felt really taken cared of. There’s plenty of space - great for groups big and small.

There’s a great sauce bar and orange slices and other snacks.“

“Good legit Japanese restaurant. The chicken karaage was very tender and juicy. For some reason it was very spicy. The sukiyaki was ok. The beef was a little tough but tasted good. We also got a teriyaki salmon and assorted tempura. The salmon was a little over cooked. which I expected it to be better. All in all a great place for a good representation of Japanese cuisine.“

“Decent restaurant that is very quick with their service.

It felt like each dish tasted just about the same. The wontons and the spicy beef noddle tasted very similar in that the broth was the same. The dumpling and the beef weren’t season too much.

The pork knuckle rice was really good. I enjoyed that very much.“

“Burma Love was an amazing dining experience! The food was packed with vibrant flavors and thoughtfully prepared, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Every bite was enjoyable, and I’d definitely come back again to try more dishes!“

“Great selection of food, the house special pork pan fried bao is delicious -- one of the best outside of China. Love its tapas style, you can get a lot of smaller dishes to share and try a lot of different items! Service is outstanding!! Every server is so hospitable and you can tell they care about their customers.

We tried a lot of their items, would totally recommend the dumplings, XLB, wonton in chili oil, pan fried bao, skewers such as the ox tongue, salmon and chicken. Kids loved the porridge and ramen too. We got a bottle of sake, it comes with the coolest chilling/dispensing device -- it's an experience!“

“I accidentally placed a take out order to a different Taos Fresh location on Doordash. It was figured out while I pick up. They called the other location to verify and fulfilled my order in this store. I really appreciate the flexibility and friendliness.“

“Really enjoyed our meal at Wooga Korean BBQ! It is a little loud, but the place is just fun. We had the seafood pancake and beef bulgogi, and both were delicious. The seafood pancake was crispy and packed with flavor, and the beef bulgogi was tender, savory, and cooked perfectly. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!“

“One of the best Sichuan spots I’ve tried recently. The food tastes very authentic and every dish came out full of flavor.

The Leshan Beef (跷脚牛肉) was definitely the highlight for me — the broth was rich and comforting, the beef was super tender, and the flavors were layered in a really traditional way. The 毛血旺 was also excellent: spicy, numbing, and packed with ingredients, but still balanced instead of just pure heat. You can tell the kitchen knows what they’re doing.

We also liked how fast the dishes came out even though the restaurant was busy. Service was friendly and the atmosphere felt lively and casual, great for family dinners or eating with friends.

Will definitely come back to try more dishes next time.“

“It's an alternative to Rooster and Rice which is basically the Thai style hainan chicken rice. What I like about Chicken Meets Rice is that it has more than one style of chicken in that it also has fried chicken but then tbh the whole point of these kind of food is the hainan chicken so I'd recommend the steamed chicken with chicken rice instead of the other stuff on the menu. Chicken is tender and flavorful and I prefer this style of hainan chicken over the Cantonese style.

This place also has other sauces (I love the spicy Singaporean sauce but it has a kick) in addition to the regular sauce.

You order through the kiosk and pick up at the other end of the counter.

This location is inside the small food court next to 99 Ranch and the food court is basically dying so I'm hoping it stays there. The noodle and the boba place pretty much died already. Service is good and courteous for a to go place.“

“The food was super good and came very fast. When me and my friend got thirsty we asked them if we could have a cup of water each and they dropped everything they were doing to help us get water. This place is super good and I want to come again!“

“Pork Patty Banh Mi Panini!! Had it delivered direct to the pickleball courts and it came all warm and tasty. Great flavor combo, healthy, and super fresh. The can of black coffee -nitrogen infused, strong and smooth - was great for an extra energy boost! Why go home to eat when you can paddle up and refuel with something yummy from Little Green Cyclo before the next 002? IYKYK ….“

“Delicious 8 veggie snowflake dumplings! Loved it!!! Thank you!“

“So many creative and yummy options! We were lucky and able to get a same day reservation at 5:15 pm on a Friday.

Service is impeccable and it looked like there was more staff than tables when we arrived but over the course of dinner, as the rest filled up, it made more sense.

We loved the custard appetizer. So smooth with great textures and flavors from the potato, fish roe and everything else in the bowl.

The lasagna was very unexpected yet delicious with layers and ground meat.

The pawns had great flavor and we liked the sausages and tomatoes it came with. I also love that the bodies were de-shelled as already.

The cold noodle was very interesting with the foam. It's a very mild flavor so this dish is more about the presentation and textures.

The scallops were fresh but not that interesting. I love Hokkaido scallops but I prefer them raw. This cook was good, just not that interesting.

The spicy hot tofu soup was fine. It didn't feel different or elevated from what I've had at other places and a touch too salty for our tastes.

There's plenty to try on the menu and would have loved to try the kalbi but our bill was quite pricey already.

I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try, it's a great treat and dining experience.“

“My favorite style of food growing up is Hong Kong cafe style, so to have Inshou close to home is a treat! A regular order is the baked spaghetti bolognese and brick toast (with condensed milk and peanut butter). Topping it off with a HK milk tea makes it perfect! The staff are super friendly and they remember us, and we’ve hardly ever had to wait for a table. Service is fast as well.“
