50 Best Asian Restaurants near Cambridge

“The service was pretty fast and it was pretty cozy. The staff are really nice and the menus are really cute. Would definitely go here from time to time. They have cheap options and they have really exotic options if you want to budget or really go off for the night I had the boneless broth cause I just wanted to get in and out and the broth when I did put it in, I had never tasted a broth so flavorful before it was really good definitely would recommend“

“I initially only went for the matcha collab/pop-up hosted at this location, but ended up trying one of their bowls and it’s safe to say I will be back. The manager, Matt, was friendly and helpful as I decided what to add to my bowl. Everything from the kale Caesar salad to the chicken and the cilantro rice was delicious and well-balanced. Oh and the sauces were super yummy. 10/10, no notes. Will be back. Thanks Matt and Dig Inn team!“

“Green curry was fresh and delicious and the Thai basil rice , not heavy in oil but looks of flavor. Especially for New Year’s Eve. Everything taste very good and fresh.“

“Such good food for a great price! The drunken crazy noodles and duck noodle soup were so so so good, absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly, food came quickly, and the interior was calm and simply decorated. We visited early on a weeknight but almost didn’t get a table since we didn’t have a reservation, so plan ahead!“

“Found this place on Google & Pinterest. So glad we gave it a try. The chicken corn soup was sweet and delicious, we had pork and cabbage dumplings, spring rolls, hot tea, fried rice and kimchi. It was all delicious. I don’t use chop sticks so they brought me a fork. Would highly recommend this place it was busy but we don’t have to wait long for a table and they had a steady line of to go orders going out as well.“

“Some places just surprise you… in the best way.

Tucked away in Cambridge, this one felt warm, inviting, and effortlessly comforting. The kind of spot where you sit a little longer, order a little more, and don’t regret any of it.

We tried Simply Surprise, Sakoo Sai Gai, Kuay Teow Lui Suan, Chicken on Fire 🔥 and Set Nam Prik… and every plate brought something special to the table.

Flavors that feel bold yet comforting, familiar yet exciting… all at once.

This is one of those places you save… and keep coming back to 💛“

“amazing food. INCREDIBLE service. can not say enough good things about my experience there last night.“

“You need the reservation for a table on Sunday night. CLOUD Steak is good but the sauce is a little sour so it covers the steak instead of boosting its original taste, which would waste the fresh steak itself for me. The beef scallion pancake is such a perfect starter dish. Bar atmosphere is top-level. Impressive.“

“This place is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely delicious, and the popcorn chicken is the GOAT. The chicken cutlet was fresh, crispy, and cooked perfectly, and the vegetables were surprisingly good too. The owner makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. It’s the kind of restaurant that makes you excited to come back and bring friends along!“

“Awesome Dumplings!! Great Service!☺️“

“Thank you Alan and Lotus Xpress for catering my husband's surprise 50th birthday party. Alan, you were wonderful to work with during the planning process- providing options and tending to all the details. The food was AMAZING! Delicious and a great variety. The day of the event, it was such a relief to have you there- catering to our 75 guests. As the host of the party, it gave me great ease knowing you were tending to the buffet and I was able to relax and tend to the guests! The food made the event. Thank you for helping make the event a success!“

“I ordered take out and the food was fresh and delicious! My first time trying sticky mango and I absolutely loved it!“

“The food at Fuji is outstanding. Far and away the best fusion Japanese food in Newton and around.“

“Great food and service equals great value!!“

“King Do has recently moved to a new location, and the space is now much larger, cleaner, and more airy. The menu still offers a wide variety of options, and the food remains just as delicious and affordable as before. The highlights for me are definitely the pennywort drink and the mung bean milk—both are refreshing and a must-try.“

“Restaurant is has cozy and chill vibe. Staff is very friendly. The Biang Biang noodles are the star of the show! Super flavorful and great dough texture, taste very homemade. Meat pie is good too, almost as good as in China. The garlic crawfish bursts with flavor, they make it fresh from live crawfish so take a little more time. The pork belly with preserved veggie is way too sweet but meat is super tender so I took it home and ran it through hot water bath twice to get it to be less sweet😅“

“Ordered in July, 2025. Everything I got was great, especially the jumbo fried shrimp, which was excellent!!! This will be my "go-to" Chinese food!“

“very good food decent price . will return for more...“

“The Grapefruit Salty Cream over Grape Green Tea ($7.25) was good and refreshing, though I am not sure if they use fruit juice or fresh fruits. The cream on top also just looked like whipped cream when I opened the cap, but it tasted fine.

I feel like I got coaxed into paying with cash because it was empty. I didn’t see any signs indoors or in the reviews about the supposed $10 minimum as there usually are. Thankfully, I had cash on me, but a heads up for anyone ordering inside.“

“I loved the beef tataki and spring roll!! I will definitely be going back!“

“As someone who has had the privilege of dining at some extraordinary Chinese and Japanese restaurants around the world, from Hong Kong to Tokyo to Manhattan, I can say without hesitation that this is the finest Chinese and Japanese food in all of Massachusetts. The ingredients are exceptional, the preparation is thoughtful, and the consistency is remarkable. Restaurants like this are rare.

We even brought our chef Tracy here one evening. She’s worked in several Michelin-starred kitchens and spent years cooking in private estates and luxury hotels. And she was completely blown away. She kept commenting on the quality of the fish and the balance of the dishes, which says a lot coming from someone who cooks professionally at that level.“

“I got take out poke bowls and they were both really delicilious. I got my partner the ahi tuna bowl on salad. He said it was really tasty, but the salad was just big chunks of lettuce and not cut up quite right. That was the only negative remark. I got a build your own bowl with tofu and shrimp tempura with corn, seaweed salad, avocado, and edamame with spicy mayo. It was SO GOOD! The person behind the counter was so nice. I will absolutely be back often.
The inside might not look super fancy and what not, but it's worth the try.“

“Food is great and the staff is great especially the bartenders!“

“This restaurant offers authentic Chinese cuisine and is a great choice for those looking to experience traditional Chinese home-style dishes. The prices are very reasonable. However, the restaurant is relatively simple in terms of ambiance, and parking is only available on the roadside, so plan accordingly. Overall, it’s ideal for those who prioritize taste!“

“never had a bad bite here. Their ramen is killer. Tiny place, but worth waiting for a table!“

“We’ve been here multiple times, both for takeout and dine-in and the food is always outstanding and fresh. We’ve tried many different things on the menu, both sushi and Chinese food and everything is great. There is no reason to try any other restaurant- we’ve found our go-to place!!“

“Mi Soul is a great miso soup ramen, the pork is esp tender and generous.Ten Yum was solid, very simple(just noodle and shrimp) and was mild/medium spicy.Poke was good, fish was very clean tasting, and a good amount of rice. I only wish they had spicy mayo as an option, more Seaweed or furikake for crispyness, and a little more cabbage to go with the large amount of rice. Great to have the option given the other poke spots are about a mile away.“

“Bangkok Bento is a cozy Thai restaurant that blends Thai dishes with sushi, giving it a slightly different feel from a traditional Thai spot. The space has a warm and comfortable atmosphere with a smaller dining room that feels more intimate, making it a nice option for casual dinners or meeting up with friends. The mix of Thai food and sushi also makes it a good choice when a group wants different types of dishes without having to pick just one cuisine.

The menu has a wide range of Thai classics, noodles, curries, and sushi options. The pad thai is a solid choice with a good balance of peanut flavor and sauce, while the drunken noodles bring more bold flavors with a slightly savory and spicy profile. The khao soi stands out as one of the more interesting dishes, with a rich curry broth and noodles paired with crispy chicken for a nice contrast in textures. The crispy duck mango curry is another highlight, combining sweet mango flavors with the richness of the curry and crispy duck. Portions are generous, so it’s easy to order a few dishes and share.

The appetizers and desserts also add a lot to the experience. The mango sticky rice is a great way to finish the meal, especially when the mango is fresh and sweet. Drinks like Thai tea are a nice pairing, though sweetness levels can vary depending on what you order. The sushi side of the menu gives the restaurant more variety, though the Thai dishes feel like the stronger focus.

Service is friendly and welcoming, and the overall experience feels relaxed. The restaurant has a comfortable pace that works well for a sit-down meal rather than a quick bite. The staff helps create a casual neighborhood feel, making it easy to settle in and enjoy a longer meal.

Overall, Bangkok Bento is a great option when you’re looking for flavorful Thai food in a comfortable setting with plenty of variety. Between the noodles, curries, crispy dishes, and desserts, there’s enough on the menu to keep coming back and trying something new. It’s especially good for groups where everyone wants something different.“

“I think people that are complaining here are overly privileged and don't appreciate the little things let me tell you why. I'm not saying there feelings don't matter but I am struggling in this state, and can't cook at the moment so to get some "nutrients I ordered a pizza from here that would have garlic, parsley etc and I instantly felt better! The pizzas were so good. As someone who lost a lot of family, I'm not going to bicker about pizza. I thought it was delicious. My boyfriend ordered the medium size and it had lots of cheese. We will order from yall again thank you for your service!“

“This casual restaurant has good, interesting food at reasonable prices. It specializes in bowls of rice, vegetables, and meat or meatless protein. A variety of different combinations and flavors are offered. Also popular is bubble tea, which comes in various flavors with a choice of standard taro, lychee, or popping boba. You will find this a refreshing change from typical causal eateries.“

“Very fresh ingredients. Grab and go sushi plus freshly made sushi. Crispy, refreshing Moshi sparkling Yuzu. Decent portion for a reasonable price. Friendly and accommodating staff. All utensils neatly provided. Outlets at tables for convenient phone/device charging. Plentiful poke bowls too. 10/10. Go there.“

“Treat you like family Food is amazing“

“Great Korean fusion spot in Seaport. Between the three of us, we shared the chopped cheese rice cakes, General Lee’s fried chicken, and the OG Broccolini, and it was more than enough food. The chopped cheese rice cakes were the standout dish and an absolute must-order.

The only downside was the outdoor seating. We were hoping to enjoy the nice weather outside, but there were noticeable fumes above the patio area that detracted from the experience. Aside from that, the food was excellent and we’d definitely come back. Despite that minor issue, the food was creative, flavorful, and memorable enough that we’d gladly return.“

“we had 2 sushi rolls and a pi no grigio and a maitai all were greatm fresh sushi and a nice atmosphere. the place is very clean. service was great!“

“They never disappoint Food is consistent never a bad meal Food presentation is A+ Staff very professional and very accommodating, making the whole experience even better !“

“YGF Malatang is a build your own malatang restaurant located right outside of Symphony Hall or the Newbury Street area.

The staff are friendly and pump out orders quickly. One downside is the sauce bar is not take-out, or there weren't any sauce containers available to use.

The choices are clearly labeled with a wide range of meats and vegetables in the assortment. It is pretty easy to build the bowl and get to a pricy amount, but we got a pretty good portion for 2 people under $30. The malatang soup base is pretty flavorful though not that spicy.“

“I was impressed with everything! It was my first time trying ramen that didn’t come from my house and after being skeptical for so long I actually loved it! The service was amazing, the food was delicious - I tried the spicy ramen with chicken … and I definitely will be going back soon!!“

“I love their food jun our server she is great“

“Basic take out restaurant. No tables. Just counter to order. Very clean room and TV. Staff nice and knowledgeable to explain dishes. A few parking spaces out front of store however, ample street parking. Good Individual entree portions enough for two people. Good portions for plates as well, could feed two or have multiple meals for one. Have eaten here several times. Give it a try. Good neighborhood restaurant. Ordering for New Year very organized and efficient. Pllan your order and can't go wrong. Latest meal simple and checked all the boxes. Moo goo gai pan, super fresh vegetables, good pieces of chicken and very tasty sauce. Vegetable Rice, they use darker soy sauce, a surprising change, not sticky, seperate grains and good amount of vegetables. Boneless ribs, properly cooked, soft texture not dry, good size pieces, and some crisp edges.“

“I picked up my food and then the called me to tell me there was meat in the rice in case I didn’t know. I am vegetarian and he told me to come back and he made me fresh fried rice with no meat. Fabulous customer service, i will definitely be back“

“Wide variety of very good food BUT, unless you speak Chinese, ordering by phone or even online is AGONY. They should hire a fluent high school kid.“

“Had a really great experience at Kowloon Restaurant with my mom. I don’t come here often because it’s super fancy, but it was definitely worth it. HUGE PORTIONS. Our waiter Chris (who works Sunday and Monday nights) was amazing: super nice, really funny, and made the whole experience even better. If you get Chris as your server, make sure to tip him well because he absolutely deserves it!“

“AMAZING FOOD & ATMOSPHERE!! The Mongolian Beef is incredible!!!!“

“Taste, quality, presentation and service are excellent. Love their large menu. I've had their traditional Chinese appetizers. Pickled and hot pot rice noodles are excellent taste and portion. Claypot rice noodles are packed with great flavor.“

“The most delicious Chinese food I’ve ordered in a long time! I ordered Crab Rangoon, french fries, and the House Special shrimp and chicken fried rice; everything was delicious. The prices were affordable, and the person who delivered my order was very friendly. You’ve become my favorite Chinese spot, Thank you!!!“

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“We’ve been coming here for close to 4 years. I used to live down the street but now make the 35 minute commute from Ashland just to get the food here.

The chicken pad Thai, seafood drunken noodles, red curry, and so many things are UNMATCHED. The service is always quick and extremely friendly.

Would recommend everyone to come here for take out or dine in.“

“The food was delicious，I recommend this place。“

“this place is such a cute, amazing spot hidden behind a parking lot. Absolutely loved the food, came back for more. This will be my sushi/poke bowl take out spot from now on. The gentleman in the register is so sweet and made great suggestions. Such a nice atmosphere. Food taste so fresh, and yummy.
They don’t disappoint!!“

“Love the food but their delivery is getting worse and worse. If you order before 5 p.m. it is nice if it can be delivered by 6:30 pm (especially if that is the window they promised). Did all we can to keep this place open during the pandemic but may need to start looking elsewhere for our family's sushi fix. VERY disappointed about their service.“
