45 Best Asian Restaurants in Chicago

“I had an engagement party for my Son and his fiancée. It was in the lawn next to our building on the lake in Chicago. A casually elegant setting. We had a lot of different food prepared professionally and I made salads, and we grilled steaks, burgers and chicken. Khmai was enlisted to do all the appetizers, some additional salads and various spreads and dips. I have Mai my approximate budget, let her know what I was preparing and planned to cook and asked her to do her best to come up with what she thought would be best as complimentary. She outdid herself. The staff is lovely to work with, helpful and genuine. My guests were blown away by the delicious and complex tastes we are not used to since most had never had Cambodian food prior. Fermented catfish dip? Wonderful, all the rolls veg or not were terrific, shrimp toast was my personal favorite, salads crisp, spicy and everything felt special and unique. Flavors so rich and vibrant felt like a special treat. It was perfect served with standard picnic fare a little elevated. The atmosphere of the party was pitch perfect, while retaining a quiet all American type picnic feel, the quality of both the food I had prepared and grilled, plus the array of flavors the appetizers added made it seem really special and definitely a treat and celebratory. It felt like someone really cared and tried to make it memorable and my guests were over the moon for this food. I would absolutely recommend dining there, we have a few times and it’s a family feeling you just can’t force or create without it being real. Thank you for your heart and talent to this wonderfully talented mother and daughter team!“

“Decided to try out this place after hearing it from a client. I was delighted that they have a simple kiosk ordering system which made things quick and easy. Ordered the pork and ginger dumplings and the grilled chicken. The dumplings even though they were hot, they were still flavorful. The chicken paired with the coconut rice was well-cooked and very filling. I had the egg tart for dessert and it tasted okay, Overall still satisfied with the experience and food.“

“I'm used to Ramen-San in River North, and I love it for a quick lunch. Given that this was a weekend and time wasn't a concern and we were meeting with a friend, we took the opportunity to linger and take a long lunch. Our service was spot on, never once felt we weren't being attended to. We had the chicken nuggets. Throw your idea of what chicken nuggets are out the window, because these are unique and delicious. Then on to the edamame hummus. Another home run. I especially liked it with the sesame crisps. My friend and I had the spicy miso ramen, my wife had two fried chicken buns and again - completely satisfied. Along with our meal, we decided to just keep grazing so ordered gyoza and crab Rangoon. Everything was perfect. So we sat too long, ate too much, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves from start to finish. Hearing Planet Rock playing in the background at one point just made it that much more awesome.“

“Definitely recommend! First time ordering - ordered orange chicken and ken kee fried rice - will be ordering again!!“

“I always enjoy dining at Ping Pong. The food is always amazing and the staff is very attentive. They also have a nice wine selection and creative cocktails.“

“The couple who owns it are THE BEST. They always remember my order (guess I’ve been a regular haha) and ask about my rabbit. :)“

“One of the best filipino shops i have tried.
Sisig is really good.
Laing is wow!
Goto is pak na pak! :)
The desserts like leche flan, carioca, turon, halo halo, maja, and cassava cake are the best too.

Must try!

Located at Seafood City Chicago“

“One of my favorite places in the Loop and among Chicago's best eats. I love the fact that their chicken is halal, which opens up a market for them and a new option for people who only eat Halal.“

“I never have complaints when I eat from BIBIBOP! My food is always fresh and delicious. Whether it's the Salmon, chicken, steak or Korean Barbeque, the proteins are tasty. Being able to load up on veggies, toppings and sauces of my choosing from the generous offerings is a big plus in my book. I like to choose the sweet potato noodles as my base and work from there. They also offer rice bases and veggie bases. They are totally vegan, vegetarian and gluten free friendly. I highly recommend BIBIBOP for lunch or dinner on the go. Download the app and place your order for super quick in-store pickup. The points from ordering in-app add up really quickly for free tasty rewards. If you enjoy lighter fare with lots of flavor, make a trip to BIBIBOP. You won't be disappointed.“

And the sushi was fresh and flavorful, nicely rolled. Really happy with the quality and service! Definitely want to keep trying more on the menu!“

“I’ve lived in this neighborhood for about 2 years and I gotta say this is my favorite poke place on lakeview east! The generous portion size, fresh and tasty ingredients and friendliness of staffs are top-notch!

I always get a bowl to go and sit by the lake to enjoy my evening after work or on the weekends. I like their thai iced tea too!

Definitely recommend Poke Gu!“

“Mostly a take out place but I wanted to be seated for lunch. And they had plenty of seating available. I wanted to try some of their unusual dishes but it was my first visit so I decided to go with something standard I could judge them by. I had the fried crab rangoon and chicken red curry. Both were some of the best I've had in Chicago. Actually the crab rangoon was the best I've has anywhere. This is a great local Thai place. Don't miss it!“

“Always delighted to find Teochew restaurants in the US and it’s always an automatic 5 stars. Double Happiness is a real no frills hole-in-the-wall serving authentic food that tastes like home. The menu is written in English, Vietnamese, Thai 🙂‍↕️, and Chinese - love to see it! The real star of the meal for me was the fried garlic oil (wish I snapped a pic)… just perfection, I kept reaching for scoop after scoop… it’s a must-add to every dish… trust.“

“Great no fuss late night spot where Uzbeks and Kryrgs and others can come and have tea and chat and enjoy a familiar meal. Various products for sale or to take home. You won't get many words from them. Service is a bit slow but the Food is amazing. Restaurant space is chill and accommodating, plenty of room to sit. Food comes out piping hot. Hours are loose. Show up and see whether they're open. Sometimes they'll hang out past 12 and let people sit in and relax and enjoy their meal. Great spot, glad I found it. Instant favorite.“

“Had a delicious meal, great service, and calm atmosphere at YATAI. We are vegetarian leaning and there were plenty of options. It was clear to us that the food was freshly made. (Nothing wilty or overcooked.) Will totally go back when we are looking for Asian influenced cuisine with lots of options.“
