12 Best Asian Restaurants in Gainesville

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

“The food…AMAZING! The service was top notch. And the atmosphere, I mean, c’mon, outside under the trees, lights, umbrellas…perfection. And, did I mention the food?! You won’t be disappointed. Ask for Jasmine. She won’t steer you wrong and sweet as can be! See you soon!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Gainesville had a real gem with this place. We chose to go to Chopstix Cafe after searching for a local eatery. So happy we did! We order Spring rolls as an appetizer, and they arrived piping hot and full of fresh goodness with. Great dipping sauce. My husband ordered a combo noodle bowl with beef, chicken and pork which was full of flavor and tender meats and vegetables. I ordered the special, Short Rib Bun Bo Hue, and I’m glad I did! Best I’ve ever had! A large, tender short rib was situated on top with an extra plate to cut it off the bone and add back to the soup, a rich lemongrass, lightly spiced broth with soft noodles and a plate of fresh bean sprouts, Thai basil, a lime wedge and jalapeño slices to add for extra flavor. I was in heaven!🤗. We met the beautiful TiTi and her handsome hubby, owners, while enjoying our meal and learned their family has had this restaurant for over 30 years! Please go if you are in town-you will be glad you did. I give them 10 ⭐️s😋“

“About 5 food stalls and enough choices for a quick meal. Both my meals are $10 each. Some complaint about the food is not hot. I am on a road trip, didn't eat it until 4 hours later since I am on a road trip. I think the food is pretty good.“

“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.“

“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! ❤️🫶🏼“

“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“

“There were only a couple people working. They were out of teriyaki chicken at 7pm. My Bento tray was okay, but they brought the wrong sauce. The stir fried rice was completely bland. The restaurant was a bit dirty and the men's room was out of order. We were pretty disappointed as we've had much better in the past.“

“Food was fresh and came out quick. Staff displayed good customer service as they told us the drink machine was low in carbonation. We had a Bento box and a Mongolian chicken rice bowl, both were great. Definitely recommend and will be back soon.“
