14 Best Asian Restaurants near Palo Alto

“Fast friendly service and delicious food“

“This is one of the closest hotpot place to Stanford. We chose a two-person package for $89, including 2 bobas, two plates of beef, one plate of lamb and seafood, one plate of noodles and vermicelli, one plate of tofu, and one sweet. That's more than enough food but we finished it!Unique small individual pot, only wish it was sunk in the table. It has the basic sauces and spices, wish there is more.“

“We had a fantastic time here with 10 of our friends in the private tatami room. We told the server our budget and were brought a large chef selection of food and beverages. It was effortless, which made the night a lot more enjoyable. My wife said she wants to come back for date night.“

“Definitely a hidden gem! Got salmon nigiri and Curry Katsu. The salmon slice was thick, we were pleasantly surprised by the amount and quality. Katsu had a nice subtle crisp to it even covered in curry. Beef yaki udon was really really good, Highly recommend and worth it. We will be back :)“

“Solid spot for some Chongqing style food. Everything I've had so far has been very fresh, quite flavourful, and generously portioned with reasonable prices. The ground pork dry noodles are my personal go-to favourite. As typical of Chongqing style food, the spice level really hits nicely! Service is polite and fairly quick. The restaurant is pretty well kept and clean as well. Definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“Came here for Valentine's Day with my girlfriend, and we both had an incredible, romantic experience. The servers were delightful and offered their recommendations. We had the Valentine's Day Special that came with a 4-course meal for $125 – this included a tasty salad, two appetizers of your choice (we got oysters and samosas), two main entrees (we got duck curry and sea bass), and a chocolate mousse dessert. This was a great value and every dish was a 10/10; we even got a free rose and the recipe for their salad at the end of the meal. If this were any indicator of what Burmese food can be, the bar is set extremely high.“

“Have you ever had a Scallion Pancake Taco before? 🥞🌮
Here’s your chance! 😋

@brochette_dumpling_and_grill is a must try spot with Asian eatery dishing up Amal plates including dumplings, skewers, and ramen. They have such an extensive menu and delicious yakitori that it’s a great place to hang out and have a good time with friends! Service is super friendly and we love the space!“

“This Korean BBQ restaurant truly exceeded my expectations! The quality of the beef is outstanding — easily comparable to the Hanwoo beef I’ve had in Korea. You can really taste how premium and fresh the meat is, especially when grilled.

The banchan (side dishes) selection is also very generous and well-prepared, offering great variety and authentic flavors. A special shoutout to their seasonings and sauces — the sauce selection is way more extensive than most Korean BBQ spots, and each one pairs perfectly with the meat.

Most importantly, this place is not just about BBQ. Their braised spicy pork ribs (the famous Korean spicy rib stew) are incredibly flavorful and deeply marinated, with the sauce soaking into every bite. It’s rich, spicy, and absolutely comforting.

Oh, BTW. Our sever is absolutely amazing, super helpful and very nice .

If you’re looking for authentic Korean flavors, high-quality meat, and amazing sauces all in one place, this spot is a must-try. Highly recommended!“

“Second time here, very delicious and authentic Leshan Sichuan food. The service is great as well! We mistakenly ordered the same dishes twice, and the owner friendly gave us one for free.

I’ve added this restaurant as my favorite list the Bay Area ☺️“

“The Hainan chicken is really good, the rice is good too, but grilled chicken is little too dry. Portion is okay, but I wish they give more chicken and less rice. Plenty of seats nearby, but not very clean and can get very crowded sometimes.“

“I ordered the creme brulee online for pick up. I came in and it was already ready but then I wondered why it looked different. I was just going to go with it anyway but they called me few mins later to say that it was the wrong one and they fixed it for me and even brought it outside to my car. Thank you! Appreciate it a lot“

“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!“

“This is base on Drink. We order Grapefruit Green Tea with 30 percent sugar ( no ice). We said No Pearl, so no charge. It was only 5.50 !!! only 6 dollar with tax. The other bubble tea place charge 7 dollars so this place has cheap drink. The guy did a great job. Most bubble tea place put too much sugar but he hardly put any sugar because we ask for only 30 percent. I think the next level up was 60 percent sugar? I wish they had 40 or 50 percent because I chose 30 percent but it was not sweet enough but he did a Great job because he mixed the Drink with alot of ice, then he strain the Ice out ( like real bartender) so the drink is cold but no ice. So I give him 6 star because he did great job. He was real busy because he had a Big Huge To Go order to fill so he was working very hard to finish the Big To Go order. So we wait patiently for our Drink. My Dad went to Bathroom & by the time he came back the Drink was ready. Im afraid to try the food because we went to South San Jose ( Eastridge) once? and the Shilin there was not good because Oyster soup hardly had oyster in South San Jose & Omelet had no Egg but had Rice cake Omelet which I cannot digest Rice Cake, so base on bad experience in Eastridge or South San Jose, I was afraid to try Omelet here. I might try it once next time if somebody respond and tell me there is some Egg ( and not just Rice Cake) in Omelet, then I will try food once a week. But for now, I will stick to just the cheap & wonderful bubble Tea drinks ( i order with no bubble)“
