43 Best Asian Restaurants in San Francisco

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

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

“I was invited here by a friend. I've eaten at a lot of mediocre Nepalese places in the Bay Area and had low expectations. Basecamp blew me away. The food was overall delicious- fresh and interesting- and the service was genuinely friendly and on point. The decor is fun, dish ware festive and it was boisterous and full on a Saturday night at 8p. The samosa were solid- hot and not oily and came with a delicious fresh green sauce, a (Nepalese crepe) was very interesting but like a flat omlete, we got the veggie Momos on the recommendation of my friend who said they were the best ones, the shrimp chow mein was unexpected with firm noodles, lots of large shrimp and a dry spice, and lastly the Cashew Curry with chicken. The curry was outstanding- creamy, flavorful and unique. We mopped it up with the Tumeric Rice. If you've had some mediocre Nepalese dining experiences, I recommend you fix that with a meal at Basecamp.“

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

“Always delicious and awesome service!!!!“

“The food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. Everything we ordered was fresh, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. The portions were generous, and each dish had a great balance of flavors and textures. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the food was served hot and prepared with care. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I would definitely come back to try more dishes. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for flavorful Asian food.“

“We went here for dinner yesterday, the food and service was absolutely incredible! I can’t believe how each dish had so many great flavors. We ordered several dishes ranging from vegetarian to meats, all were spectacular! Thank you for introducing Burma food to us!“

“Absolutely loved dumpling story! Dumplings were good, I’ve heard one of the best in the city. I was just visiting and thought they were good, but not the best I’ve ever had.

Service was quick, their cucumber salad is something you should definitely get. Pretty presentation. A little expensive.“

“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“

“Not bad, but I'd probably stick with Burma Love or Superstar. Our entrees did not have enough meat in them. Also, service at the bar could have been better with clearing out plates. Maybe shouldn't have skipped on the tea leaf salad ...“

“Assorted bao was fabulous. Please open a location in Minneola!!!“

“The food on the very limited menu is tasty, albeit not healthy. I do like that they use Mary’s organic chicken but even that is super fatty. The signature beef dish looked delicious and very decadent but at over $80 and piled high with cheese and toppings, it serves 4 and it’s not my jam. Go if you just want a lot of food generally pretty inexpensive. It’s like $25 a person and tasty, just too unhealthy and casual for me.“

“How did I not find this place sooner?
It’s a tasty, visually pleasing, and active dining experience.

Our group came in for a foggy, cozy Sunday lunch before the church crowd. We ordered the tomato fish, sichuan beef, and original YunNan noodle bowls. We were delighted with the bridge of ingredients that you can personally add to your hot soup and noodles.

I loved my original YunNan bone broth flavor that tasted clean and flavorful. Service is quick and kind. Decor really emphasizes the YunNan culture and they have custom wooden benches. Check this place out if you’re on Balboa!“

“Amazing! Mouthwatering food and beautiful indoors, lovely service.“

“Best dumpings ever. Never fails to be delicious. Ordered on Uber eats so many times and I’m never disappointed“

“My family comes here or does take out once every month or so. Favorites are the char siu and duck which just hits the spot. Service is truly exceptional from being greeted at the door to attentive table service throughout. They are so welcoming to my child and that level of attention and care (consistently) is just so rare these days. Just a wonderful place all around.“

“Ordered the spicy chicken jian bing and it was huge! Half of the sandwich was already a big portion for one person. The taste and textures were wonderful with a crispy layer inside, soft outside, savory spicy filling, crisp lettuce. Can't wait to go back and try the original jian bing.“

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

“Been coming since they first open and I know and read it’s hit or miss on service depends on the day and person working but for my years of experience I’ve always enjoyed it. As long they get the usual food I order right and on time, on top of that food and dessert is good than this place is a four star for me. They don’t need to check on us or serve us like kings or queens because it’s a Hong Kong dessert house people. It’s not Gary danko with a $$$$ sign. The price is good. I usually get the egg puff which is better than all egg puff location even eggette. The HK milk tea is good but not as good as honk kong, fried garlic chicken wings, soy sauce wings,ham egg sandwich and mix fruits. Oh their green tea ice cream is a no no but vanilla is fine. They use the same batter for the waffle as the egg puff which is so yummy! Moving on that’s my usual order which has kept me going here for years. Wish they open earlier but I know they cater to the late people.“

“Homey hole in the wall. Generous portions, limited menu. Martabak was dry (regret not getting the roti instead). Laksa was rich and creamy with flat rice noodles (I’m used to the round rice noodles for laksa). Chicken satay was the highlight - tender flavorful and perfectly charred. Shrimp glass noodle is good if you want a lighter flavour (mostly sesame oil).“

“I could happily eat Steam Rice Roll King any meal of the day. Folks are super nice and the rice rolls are DELICIOUS - fresh, silky-smooth, beautifully prepared. Even just a plain rice roll with veggies/egg (pickled cabbage and Chinese parsley are my go-to's) makes for a hearty meal for an unbeatable price. The sauces are also delicious and the hot soymilk is nice on a foggy morning. Favorite spot in the Sunset!“

“We had the Longa Smash and it was perfect. The fat of the longaniza is well balanced with the picked chilli’s that provide balance and a little bite. Thank you for your innovative sandos! While we were waiting for our IKEA order pick up we ate here and the food came out very fast.“

“I had ordered chicken samosa without mayo and chicken lollypop. It was served extremely fresh and hot & the dishes were yummy. Thanks Papa's Kitchen. InshaaAllah I will order again👍“

“Here’s a shorter, more direct version that keeps the important parts:

We stopped by Do-Re-Mi Onigiri while exploring Chinatown after visiting Alcatraz, and I’m glad we did. The staff was very welcoming and helpful with ordering, even helping me save some money.

We tried the tuna, chicken teriyaki, pork, and crab onigiri. Everything was fresh and good, but the tuna and crab were definitely my favorites. My cousin had the pork and said it was a must-try.

The staff even showed us how to properly open the onigiri since it was our first time. I also asked for a drink recommendation and was given a Miku-Chu, which was amazing.

Great food, friendly service, and definitely a place I’d visit again next time I’m in San Francisco.“

“I want to come back and try more. I dined alone, so I was only able to have the tea leaf salad. I think I chose well. It had all the flavors, and lots of crunch, and it filled me up. Tea leaf salad is never pretty, but this one was pretty yummy.

I can’t wait to come back with a friend, and taste more dishes.

I came on a Friday night, and there was no waiting. The lighting was on the bright side, but everything looked clean and new. Service was quick.“

“It's a beautiful place on a busy road serving delicious Burmese ans South East Asian dishes. There aren't a lot of tables but we found one available right away on a Saturday afternoon. Menu is simple but offers a selection of very good dishes. I ordered the tea leaf salad and the Chicken Kao Soi, both of which were great portions and amazing. The Thai tea was refreshing. Service is quick and with a smile. Not expensive or fancy but chock-full of flavours, colours and spice. Don't forget to ask for the Chili oil to add the extra bit of heat!“

“Burma is our go-to pre Valkyries games. We always order the tea leaf salad & the fried shrimp appetizer. Nur is our favorite server & always welcomes us and goes the extra mile to ensure that our dining experience is a positive one.“

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

“Thank god chubby noodle is back in SF! If you love asian food and a pint you can’t beat this spot. Wings are just as good as san tung and the dishes overall are unique and extremely flavourful. Garlic noodles and fried chicken and thank me later.“

“Absolutely authentic & very fresh food! Customer service is top notch! Their IPA is on point!“

“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.“

“Authentic Filipino🇵🇭 food in the heart of San Francisco🌉❣️
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 😊!“

“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!“

“Quality food everyone should give them a try ���“

“My hubby and I took a long weekend and decided to fly to San Fran!!! The bento plate was amazing, flavorful and beyond filling!!! It’s an absolute must if you’re in Japantown!!! We got lucky and it was the cherry blossom festival!!! It’s an absolute must if you’re in town! Thank you for having us!“

“May 2026:
Stopped by for lunch and ordered a tosilog bowl. This is a: Filipino-style sweet pork (tocino) served with adobo garlic rice, fresh sliced tomatoes, and a fried egg, complete with a side of vinegar.

I liked the meal. The pork was a little fatty but tasty 😋. I'd get it again.“

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

“First time here. Friendly servers who patiently dealt with my allergies. Great music selection! We ordered sweet and sour shrimp (requested spicy) and stir fried tofu, both with fried rice, and a side of veggie egg rolls. The food was served fresh and hot. Very reasonable prices, and even more so with the Grand Opening discount of 20%. Will definitely come back! Highly recommend!“

“I love this place everything is delicious 😋“

“I saw someone sharing this dish and that’s what made me order it. But omg this is a HUGE Portion. It actually says serves 1-2. It is delicious! Not as spicy as it looks. Full of assorted seafood and some thinly sliced pork. The noodles texture is PERFECT. The proprietor offered me a takeout container immediately, but I’m going to surprise her with how little will be left by the time I’m done. lol roll me out of here!“

“Had a great business lunch and was pleasantly surprised at the diversity of the menu and how well made all of the dishes were. The dumplings were excellent and the veggies were crisp, seasoned just right and portions generous. Food arrived quickly and was hot and fresh.“

“Stopped by Bao N Boba with my kids and we really enjoyed it! The custard and veggie buns came out nice and hot. I also tried the Lovechee Lychee with boba, and it was super refreshing. The boba had the perfect texture and it wasn’t too sweet. Great spot for a quick treat and something the kids liked too!“
