10 Best Asian Restaurants in Gainesville

“Sang and our server Sidney went above and beyond with recommendations, they were so accommodating and kind and made sure to tell us all about the menu because we had a lot of questions. We had my dog Honey with us and they also brought him water too and we sat on the patio. Our food was absolutely amazing too!!! Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back.“

“Amazing Restaurant, amazing food, & amazing staffing.“

“Nothing but fun….and the food was great.“

“Hands down the best Asian in Gainesville and I have lived here 12 years. I would actually put it up against any Asian place in New York. Not speedy, because everything is fresh-made, right down to the wontons in the wonton soup. Dishes are very nicely spiced rather than slathered in sauce. Ingredients are high quality, from the bok choi to the beef. Please, PLEASE stay in business.“

“A very good noodles shop in the area. There are plenty of soup bases available for your preference. I had the Sichuan style one and it's very good. The soup is very hot and that's what I like a noodles soup supposed to be. The MSG level is not as strong as I initially expected, which is good.“

“I cannot say enough good things about Chopstix. The food is so good and you can tell everything is fresh. The service is always friendly and efficient. We often celebrate big events here and last night we celebrated my husband's 60th birthday in the private dining room. I was so busy running around talking to our 18 guests that I just asked Titi Le to order appetizers for the crowd, whatever. She asked a few questions and brought out exactly enough (not too much which many places would have done from that request to boost the bill) and a good variety to keep us having a great time until our food came. We all enjoyed our meal-lots of 'Wow, taste this,' heard around the tables. Our orders were all correct as were our individual checks, which is often not the case with big parties. The most fun part of the evening was when they surprised my husband with dessert and a fun version of the happy birthday song accompanied by a gong. I didn't realize that our party was running late, but we were never hurried or asked to leave. If you have a fun occasion to celebrate CALL CHOPSTIX CAFE!“

“I went an hour before closing. And not even really an hour before closing, I came when the staff already started doing their pre closing as productive service industry workers do when they want to go tf home and go to bed. Regardless my annoying order, I ordered the two specials, the Mt. Fuji Roll BOGO and then the Katsu curry. phenomenal🥹. You could tell that the owners dont pay them for the hard work they deserve, as all chains do, and I bet whoever owns it is especially is yappy. But my fried chicken was cooked perfectly, ok frier. My rice, and sauce- yum. My sushi bomb af, and the cashier was tired as hell but customer service voice and attitude pristine. Someone came in later to me and asked the cashier a modification after not tipping and he said “of course,” and ran the modification politely. Purr.“

“We celebrated my son today, for graduating middle school and heading to the high school. The place was packed, but we were seated very quickly, and the manager allowed me to set up a lil decor display, congratulating my son’s accomplishments! The service was over the top wonderful, food was amazing (we brought a lot home) and we’ll be back! Thank you guys for the wonderful service and for giving our small party of 4.5 such a wonderful experience! ❤️🫶🏼“

“If this place would be last on earth selling food I would rather die gracefully then ever buying food from them again. We ordered Pad thai and we were served two different types of noodles with no sauce, no peanuts just lots of cabbage with few pieces of chicken I went to ask for more sauce to make this dish edible and she didn't even know what pad thai tamarind sauce is she said she has soya sauce. I asked her to either fix the dish, change it or refund us the money because it was not pad thai AT ALL and she said no to everything. They serve the most average tasting pho as well. We had to go the spot next to it to eat, we never came out of a restaurant hungry ever before. Worst experience honestly, zero for taste, zero for customer service, such a waste of food, time and money. I will never recommend this place to anyone. With those sticky tables I would have given -5 stars if I could.“

“I stopped by this Thai spot last night and overall had a good experience! The service was friendly, and the vibe of the place was chill and welcoming. I ordered the Pad Thai, and while it was a generous portion and came out hot, the flavor leaned way more toward overcooked egg than the usual tangy-sweet balance I was expecting. It kind of overpowered the dish.

Still, I’d be open to coming back and trying something else on the menu—maybe the curry or a noodle soup next time. Could just be an off night for the Pad Thai, because everything else looked and smelled great“
