42 Best Asian Restaurants near Whittier

“Solid spot for Japanese-Korean food in Whittier. The menu is small but focused which I like. We got the Cheese Katsu meal, Omurice, and Egg Sando. The Katsu was cooked well, not too greasy, very flavorful. The Omurice was my fave, fluffy and the sauce was really good. Another highlight was the Yuzu Panna Cotta we got for dessert. It was citrusy, not too sweet, great texture, we really enjoyed it. Their Matcha Yuzu-ade was refreshing as well. Good service and a relaxed atmosphere. We will be coming back to try some things we weren't able to fit in this time around.“

“We love Joy. My family have been regulars for many many years. Food is awesome. Service is great, servers friendly. Only bummer, when we, as a family, went to celebrate my birthday on Saturday, we presented a gift certificate my husband & I were gifted from my Kids. It was issued at the end of 2019, expired at the end of 2020. Because of Covid we did not venture out until late last year. They did not not honor it. A little bit of a disappointment, but not going to keep us from frequenting our fav local sushi restaurant.“

“This is a really nice cafe in Downey. They have free wifi, many snacks and nice boba. The boba menu is great. The smoothie and fruit tea are nice too. I think the standard menu is a bit too sweet for me. The snacks are like frozen snacks and took out to fry. Staff was very nice. Clean restroom. Great vibes for working or chatting.“

“We LOVED their fried rice it was so good! Solid amount of chicken in it too. We ordered the chicken garlic noodles as well that was also tasty. The woman who took our order was so sweet she brought out all of our items to us very gingerly and also put a nice big bottle of siracha out. We wished we lived closer so we could come more often!“

“100% recommended, food is delicious“

“Had some Sunday lunch at this branch. To My surprise, the servings are so generous that it can serve for 2. The yellow curry taste so good and the pad thai is the best recommendation for me. Go and try them out. This is one of the best thai restaurants you can go to. I guess this branch is more cozy than cerritos. And mind you the service is excellent too. Kudos to Gwyn.“

“Great fast eatery, you can watch fresh noodles made through the large kitchen windows.
Big bowl of noodles will satisfy any hungry soul.
The order comes very fast even on a busy day.
They also offer you a plastic bibs to cover any soup splash.“

“It’s been a while since I last had Mongolian BBQ, probably mostly inside malls. This was a new one for me being in a plaza outside of a mall. This restaurant was set up like a Chipotle style where you choose the ingredients for your meal instead of picking it out with tongs on your own. The food was good and there was some sauce provided that made it even better.“

“The place was very empty when I got there, therefore we were able to be seated quickly. The food was fresh and it was tasty. I was worried and checked the ratings online to make sure it was legit. lol.

The bad part is that there isn’t enough workers so it’s hard to get their attention when they’re cooking.

Other than that it was excellent.“

“The food here is spicy but really tasty, especially the fried chicken. The people and the boss here is friendly.Find a good spot for my whole family because the noodle here is my children’s favorite. Recommend beef soup noodle and the tomato egg noodle for the kids. The noodle is handmaded and fresh!“

“I am from out of town i am here visiting my sister in the hospital. I was looking for a good teryaki plate for my wife and I. I read reviews and I decided to try hi bbq. The customer service was great,the price was good and the food was excellent. The ginger dressing was tangy and really good for the salad. The chicken and steak was flavorful and the macaroni salad was really good. Until my sister comes home this will be the place we will go to. If you are looking for really good food at a good price I highly recommend hi bbq. Also the staff was really nice and the place is very comfortable.“

“Absolutely delicious! I decided to try this place today and I'm immediately reviewing to get people to support this local gem. I had the tofu vegetable combo plate and it was tasty as hell. The tofu was soft, the veggies had the perfect bite, and the brown sauce was well seasoned. The entire dish was warm and light enough that I almost cleaned my plate despite it being so satisfying. I'm happy I was able to bring some home for later and will be going back regularly now!“

“I’ve come here many times—it’s one of my favorite restaurants. The beef noodle soup is my go-to, but honestly, it’s hard to pick a favorite because everything is delicious.

Highly recommend the dumplings—they’re handmade, and you can even buy them frozen at a great price. The server reminds me of my aunties, and the food tastes like grandma made it. It’s like a cozy Sunday at mom’s, and she just brought out the menudo.

I also love that the music stays true to the culture. They play Mandarin songs, not some watered-down English playlist. It makes the whole experience feel authentic—like I’ve been invited into someone’s home. I’m always happy here. 🥰“

“Wonton soup with the bread is perfect for this chilly morning.“

“Here’s a revised version of your review:

The broken rice at this Vietnamese restaurant is consistently good, but the chargrilled pork was a bit too thin. Overall, the experience was just okay—not great. However, it’s worth trying at least once.“

“Oh my this place have a long list of food on their menu, I like that. I'm going back to try their other dish. My first time here to buy food for my brother who injured his right foot. I was surprised on the food options and service was great.“

“This place is an amazing dining experience. A great alternative to Korean bbq or hot pot, you order different skewers and let them cook in front of you, then enjoy. All the different meats and vegetables were delicious and offered lots of variety so there is something for everyone. The grill automatically twirls the kebobs giving an even cook, and the sauces and spices are very flavorful. Very helpful staff and clean interior.“

“very good comfort food that you can really dig into<3“

“Service was fast, friendly and very helpfull....food was also great by the way. I came on a weekend and it was very busy and had to wait but still was well worth it.“

“Wonderful place! Staff is super friendly. I got a regular bowl with salmon and purple rice. The sauce was really good and the selection of toppings and fish. Highly recommend of you like poké

Vegetarian options: Its mostly fish so great for pescatarians but not for vegans.

Parking: Plenty of parking spots

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp up to the door of the restaurant and the inside is pretty open too.“

“This is my new favorite hang out spot for popcorn chicken. The prices are very very good and drinks are decent though. The drinks are very sweet so make sure to adjust the sugar levels. Everybody and their mamas out here so it does get very busy so be patient. They only have 2 workers.“

“Love all the food and the drinks are great too. Just afraid it will get too busy at lunchtime and no seat for me! :)“

“They were open later than our normal acai place, so we decided to give this place a try... I won't be needing the other Acai place, this will be my go to place instead. more vegan options, better toppings (loved the cashew crunch typing), and they didn't charge extra for nut-butters. Acai bowl was one of the best I've had.“

“Located inside Sheraton hotel next to the bar area. We tried seafood tasting menu. Food was good but nothing to rave about. Most of the dishes used crab meat for the main or for garnishment: It was overdone. Service was good, nice ambiance although lights were turned off in some part of the restaurant.“

“This is a newly opened restaurant, so the environment inside the store is very clean and the furniture looks new. There are not too many choices on the menu. The Hainanese Chicken Rice is very tasty, but the chicken is slightly less umami. The Bamboo Shoots and Chicken Soup Noodles have a sweet soup base, which is worth a try.“

“Four Seasons Buffet in Cerritos, California a 5 STARS.Food was Great,Clean,Friendly Establishment, Perfect Location surrounding with other Great Eateries,Shopping Area!Nice Eat,Drink,be Merry hangout with Family & Friends!Celebrated my Mom's 90th there!Happy Heavenly 90th Mama Lina Nua Falaniko!Happy Eating Everyone ❤️“

“Had an amazing time at this restaurant! The grilled fish was absolutely bursting with flavor—perfectly cooked, soaked in a rich, spicy broth with tons of garlic, peppers, and veggies. We picked the spicy level and it was just the right kick to wake up your taste buds!

Loved the fun presentation on the hot plate, keeping everything warm and bubbling throughout the meal. The little details (like the sesame seeds, jalapeños, and vermicelli noodles) really made it feel authentic and satisfying.

Also tried the crispy silkworm pupae—definitely an adventurous snack, but surprisingly addictive once you get into it!

Cozy vibes, friendly staff, and solid menu. Highly recommend if you’re into bold flavors and something a little different from your usual dinner spot. 💥🐟🌶️“

“Great bakery tucked away in a small trip mall on Las Tunas and Mission. Although small, the baked goods are so good here. They are also very creative with their pastries. This is the only shop I can find gigantic pineapple buns. One of the bun here equals to probable 4 to 5 regular buns that you would typically find at dim sum. They can also custom made cakes from 6 inch to whatever sizes you want with various different flavors and designs. We just ordered a 6 in chestnut cake with rose flower decoration for my mom's birthday. Order was done efficiently and timely. We ordered the cake one day before and was able to pick it up by next morning. I also like their Chinese pastries. One of my favorites is their Portuguese egg tart or Pastéis de Nata as they called the Custer in Portugal. The skin is so crispy and the egg tart filling tasted so good. I just can't stop eating them. Probably I have to run a couple of miles the next day to burn off the calories. There are so many great pastries here. I just have to come back to try them all. The owner is so friendly and she is always very helpful to introduce us to new products.“

“Katsu bar Cerritos is one of the best katsu places I’ve ever been to! The pork cutlet was thick yet very tender and the breading was super crispy without being greasy. Everything from the curry to the side dishes felt fresh and well prepared.

Most importantly, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. They made the dining experience even better with their warm service and helpful attitude.

Highly recommend!“

“Wow one of the strongest standing Hong Kong western restaurants in SGV! I have been to this restaurant a few times as a child and it's still going despite Great Recession and COVID pandemic! Last time I came, it brought back a lot of childhood memories and the food was still amazing! Will come back in the future!“

“Muy buena comida y buena atención!💯“

“We loved this restaurant, service, and their foods! Special offer when your order 5 dishes, you will get the 5th one on the house. 10 dishes, then you get 2 dishes free! Friendly staff! You can also call in to make a reservation over the phone.“

“Plenty of seats. Extra like fifty cent charge for cards. Lady barely seem to speak english. Food taste a lil cheap. Got the mixed veg and fried rice. It was ok. Steam table food. The thing with these type of places is that the veggies taste clear/fake or something lol paid 15 with extra side of broccoli. Try it out if u will. Id go back last. Didnt taste like gmos or salty though.“

“Had the Tom kha seafood and the pork pad thai. Both were excellent. definitely will be back“

“If you like dim sum - here is a place for you ! They serve dim sum all day long unlike some other places dim sum is served before 2 pm. In addition to dim sum, they do have some dinner dishes under ‘chef’s recommendation’. We ordered eggplants in garlic sauce - it was really good! Their dim sum is good with fresh ingredients !“

“It’s so delicious. It’s good quality and reasonably priced. I’ll repurchase the pork belly chicken endlessly. Thank you, boss. I hope the restaurant can keep going. There are so few restaurants in Los Angeles that I can keep coming back to. Most of them are blocked after I go there once. I have been eating here for more than three years and the taste remains the same.“

“You can eat your style taco, burrito, tostada, salad, hamburger or plate you can choose grill jalapeño, chiles different kind of hot sauces and good teriyaki taste excellent service“

“We have been going to the seafood House for over 25 years. The food is excellent and the service is great. It's one of the best dimsum restaurants in Southern California.

Parking: We have always been able to find parking at different times of the day.

Kid-friendliness: We have been taking our grandkids for over 20 years, and we still take them today!“

“Had a Taro Milk Tea. Satisfies a craving and not too bad for the price. Have been here years so familiar with the drinks and they won't be a must have. Just moreso convenient and accessible. Keep in mind they prefer cash, using credit requires a $.50 charge.

Parking: Small plaza. But decent amount of parking for a quick stop.“

“Great food and drink, cafe style! Collab with bearded papa…they have cream puffs! Service is friendly and fast. Restaurant is clean with a happy energetic feel. Kawaii!!“

“This is the Greatest Place for Home Maid Flavoraful Dishes and Most GINGER BOBAO...My Eliza CELESTIAL SKIES ;D“

“Awesome go-to spot. Serving is more than enough for one person. Even for my blue collar husband. Very friendly gentleman as the cashier and are always very prompt and nice when taking our takeout order over the phone. They have a new menu and set up for the front and it looks great. Always recommend, food is delicious, and place is always clean“
