11 Best Asian Restaurants near New Haven

“Ben is an amazing sushi chef! Friendly, creative, and like watching an artist! Enjoyed our sushi bar experience! Thank you!“

“My friends and I ordered from here and we LOVED our food. We got the drunken noodles, Indonesian bihun goreng, and curry chicken noodle soup, as well as steamed vegetarian dumplings. The portions are great and very tasty, would definitely recommend!“

“love seeing people enjoying southeast asian food because I grew up with it. It’s what my family cooks and it is my comfort food. I enjoyed everything I ate last night at trivia night.

Tom kha gai creamy coconut chicken soup was super rich and flavorful. It had pieces of chicken breast, slices of shiitake mushrooms and grape tomatoes in it. It was great for an extremely cold evening.

Drunken noodles with duck was a group favorite. Flat, wide rice noodles were cooked till soft and chewy. Flavors of Thai basil and a little kick of heat paired well together. The duck could’ve been cooked to a nice medium. It was a bit over done for me but wasn’t dry. The dipping sauce for the duck was very fish sauce forward. I wish the duck was marinated with flavor so you can eat it with the noodles. I felt like I was eating two different dishes but it was really one dish. Highly recommend the noodle dishes here. The pad see ew is another favorite with the same type of flat, wide rice noodles.

Curry chicken was served with white rice. It had a little bit of vegetables on there but if it was cooked with red or green peppers it would’ve given a better presentation to the dish. Still very flavorful.

Laab tofu was served with lettuce, radishes and cucumbers. We usually eat it with rice at home too but you want the fresh produce to balance the savory, sour and umami flavors. I’ve never had it with tofu but my friend is a vegetarian so it was interesting and flavorful. The toasted sticky rice in the laab truly shines through. I would eat it again.

Fried shrimp with tamarind sauce was so delightful. Shrimps were huge, fried to perfection in a light tempura batter and drizzled with tamarind sweet and sour sauce. It’s also served with lettuce, radishes and white rice. I’d order this again.

Thai hot wings had a tasty sticky siracha sauce on it. It was sweet with a tiny kick to it. Chicken wings were delicious.

The rock sausage is served in a cute little basket over a bed of lettuce and sliced radishes. I would eat this with rice at home. The sausage was juicy and sweet. Very tasty.

Pineapple tofu fried rice had a beautiful presentation served in half of a pineapple. It was tasty and very pretty to look at!

Thai iced tea was sweet, creamy and refreshing. Sangria and lychee mojito was very good. The bar area is beautiful. The restaurant was packed. Atmosphere is beautiful.

I wish all the food came out at the same time so our group of 6 could’ve eaten together. Dishes came out one by one and food got cold. Also, the music could be turned down a tad so we could hear one another at the table.

All in all, I recommend this wonderful restaurant and I’d love to return to try different dishes.

Vegetarian options: All proteins can be replaced with tofu.“

“This is hands down the best Chinese restaurant in New Haven. anything and everything you get from there is made in-house freshly made everyday. Brandon Park the owners and employees. there are the most kind people Aunt most motivated I've ever experienced.

Parking: Big parking lot with plenty of spaces to park“

“This place has a mom and pop feel with a cute atmosphere inside. The food is infinitely better than the fancier Mexican restaurant right next door. It was affordable and the wait staff was super polite and attentive. 10/10 if you’re looking for low key, affordable, authentic Mexican food.“

“For a town the size of Derby that doesn’t have a lot of Asian options, this is a GREAT place to choose. They have a Chinese, Japanese, and Thai menu. My wife and I have tried a few of their options and we both agree, the sushi here is fantastic. It’s good quality, with a generous amount of seafood meat and little rice. Often times, restaurants try to fool you with affordable sushi by giving you a ton of rice. But here, they hook you up. The wonton soup here is excellent as is mosh of the Chinese dishes we tried. We are excited to try their Thai menu options in the future. Service was absolutely excellent. This place deserves way more dine in business than what they are getting.“

“Delicious, fresh flavorful food. Nice atmosphere. Very attentive staff. Many different choices on the menu. Highly recommend!!“

“Still a wonderful place for Chinese fare. Their dumplins are juicy and savory. We get the wontons in broth instead of the American-style wonton soup...give it a try! And their main dishes are full of flavor. Our favorites are Cumin Fish Filllets, Bok Choy & Mushrooms in Oyster Sauce, Chicken with Black Bean Sauce and their Beef Chow Fun. We have moved further away but still come often because we love their food.“

“I ordered the Thai Tea and the Pho. I’d like to first mention the customer service, it was great no complaints. Secondly the Thai Tea & Pho, I’ve never had Thai Tea or Pho so keep it in mind when reading the rest of the review.

The Thai Tea was nice, it had a strong aroma which I don’t really like with drinks but it was bearable. Onto the Pho, I liked it, could have had a bit more flavor but over all it was good. It came with bean sprouts, jalapeño, cilantro, green onion and a slice of lime all on the side.

I’d like to add that the greens were fresh. Some recommendations I’d make are removing left over fat from the Pho, adding more jalapeños, and more flavoring to the broth.
Overall, I enjoyed the meal.“

“This place is amazing our weekly dinner spot. Awesome staff the girls are the best and always friendly“
