13 Best Asian Restaurants in Gainesville

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

“I came here with a party of 6 so we tried lots of items. Gyoza, Crab rangoon, Pajun, Pork katsu, Bibimbap, Japchae, Kimchi, Korean fried chicken (and probably more). It was all delicious! The chef even came out to speak with us. Definitely recommend.“

“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.“

“Excellent service, super quick food, and absolutely amazing flavors. My husband said his hot pot beef tasted clean and flavorful. Not to mention the spice got the mucus out of him he left breath better with a full belly.I got chicken soup rice noodles and dumplings — so comforting and flavorful. They don’t skimp out on portions either we couldn’t even finish our bowls. The passion fruit and mango tea was refreshing and delicious. We both truly enjoyed our meal. Definitely recommend!“

“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.“

“my wife and I went for the soft opening in Gainesville and absolutely loved it. we both got the 4 bowl. I got fried rice, udon, bourbon and Thai chicken. The bourbon was great, the best I've had in all of Gainesville. The Thai chicken could've been spicier. service was amazing and staff was very friendly. prices were very reasonable and portions were large. my wife loved the orange chicken. we'll definitely be back frequently. great job bambuu“

“Excellent food, very fresh and flavorful in a clean and inviting space.“

“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.“

“*White Chocolate here*
My wife and I have been coming here for 13 years ever since we met at Gainesville raceway and this has been a spot full of fond memories and good food! Will continue to come here every time we’re in Gainesville! Erin and GM are always so pleasant and fun.“

“All of the food is incredibly flavorful, and they can adjust the spice level to exactly how you like it. The aroma of the dishes alone is wonderful and makes you excited to eat before the food even arrives.

My favorite dish is the spicy basil fried rice. It comes out hot and smells incredible. The rice is soft and coated in a rich, savory flavor. When you take a bite, it almost melts in your mouth and its absolutely addicting.

The curries are also extremely flavorful—honestly the best Thai food i've ever had. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Thai food or wants to try it for the first time.“
