50 Best Asian Restaurants near Chelsea

“Morning Saigon has hands down the best Banh Mi sandwich in the area, and I've tried nearly all the vietnamese eateries around boston. The flavors and ingredients are more complex and better balanced than all the other banh mi Ive had. The vietnamese coffee are excellent too, strong and well balanced.

They take your order at the counter and make the banh mi and coffee in front of you with a lot of care. Heidi is very knowledgeable, thoughtful about recommendations, and genuinely friendly. Three visits, three great experiences.“

“Wow! I've seen this restaurant name often but never tried it until today. I don't know what I was waiting for because this dish was AMAZING 🤩 I got the white meat Chicken Teriyaki All Day Special with plain Lo Mein Noodles.. I can see why the place is called Teriyaki Yummy because this might have been the best Asian meal I've ever had! Will be ordering again very soon. 😋“

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

“Came early on a Monday, shortly after opening. Greeted promptly, sat immediately, food came out within minutes. Coffee was good, shumai were great, and really enjoyed the broth in the soup. Looking forward to trying some other things in the future!“

“Darling was exceptional this evening! Everything we ordered was amazing. Our server, Sailor was kind, attentive and had great suggestions. The Owner, Chen, was so great to stop by our table. We really enjoyed chatting with him. Just an awesome restaurant from start to finish. Great people, great atmosphere, great food. We will be back!“

“Nice and chill environment.“

“Awesome Dumplings!! Great Service!☺️“

“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.“

“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!“

“This review is long overdue, but this is a great Thai small business to support. The place is cozy [with seasonal outdoor seating] and the staff is always warm. The Drunken noodles are my go-to and it is a generous portion of noodles AND protein...for the most part. I strongly discourage paying extra for extra protein as I paid $3 for EXTRA protein and received 3 small shrimp. This seems to be a trend as I have ordered DN at two other places and the extra fee was not reflected in the portion delivered. But Mae does deliver consistently outside of this.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Hands down the best Chinese food I’ve ever had!“

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

“The place was very clean, the staff was very friendly, the food came out very quickly, and it was very delicious. Staff checked up on us frequently and gave us constant attention. Bathrooms were very clean. Regarding other reviews, their was no bugs seen or any pins found in the food, overall 9.5 experience.“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH. I was craving raw salmon so much and this place gives me the most generous amount of salmon for my bowl🍣🩵🩵 Love the crunchy topping, mango topping, and EVERYTHING. Will come back to dine here again🩷

-Came back and tried the spicy seafood ramen. IT WAS SO GOOD. 10/10 recommend!“

“Shi Miao Dao is a casual Chinese noodle and hot soup spot located right near Wollaston Station, known for its fast service and customizable rice noodle soups. The space is small, clean, and straightforward, with more of a quick dining setup than a full sit-down experience. It feels designed for efficiency, especially for people grabbing a warm bowl of noodles either before or after commuting in the area.

The menu centers around rice noodle soups and mala-style broths, with a build-your-own approach that lets you choose proteins like beef, lamb, or fish fillets. The mala rice noodle soup stands out for its rich, spicy broth that carries a noticeable heat without overpowering the rest of the bowl. The golden soup and other lighter broths offer a more mellow option, while add-ons like crispy wings or fried pork help round out the meal. The noodles themselves have a fresh, soft texture that pairs well with the soups, making the bowls feel comforting and filling.

Service is quick and efficient, with food often arriving shortly after ordering, which matches the restaurant’s “fast noodle” concept. Most of the preparation is streamlined, so dishes are consistent and arrive without much delay. It’s the kind of place where you’re in and out fairly quickly, especially during off-peak hours.

Seating is limited, and the space can feel a bit tight when it gets busy, so it leans more toward a casual dine-in or takeout spot rather than a place to linger for long meals. Despite that, the environment is clean and organized, and the location near public transit makes it very convenient.

Overall, Shi Miao Dao is a solid choice for flavorful rice noodle soups with bold broths and quick service. It works especially well for a fast, satisfying meal near Wollaston, with enough variety in spice levels and toppings to make repeat visits worthwhile.“

“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.“

“Kokeshi is in residency with Bambolina (a wood-fired pizza joint, also delicious) and it's perfect! My husband and I (and our puppy, Dexter) stopped in for lunch on Wednesday and were treated to a wonderful meal with an awesome server and comfortable outdoor seating. I had the Spicy White Kimchi Ramen and my husband had the Margherita pizza. Both were amazing! I highly recommend stopping in when in Salem!“

“Nice place for Claypot rice and rice rolls just like in Taicheng. Wife wanted to try it since its hard to get back home. Everything was steaming hot and tasty. I got the yellow eel Claypot rice a Taishan classic. Service was quick and attentive for a small and busy place only has around 20 seats.“

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

“Treat you like family Food is amazing“

“Super delicious food and fresh ingredients! It's a small menu, but everything is very well curated. I highly recommend the shrimp taco, cheese rice cake, and the legendary burger. Most importantly, a HUGE shout-out to the manager, Valley—a very nice and warm guy who listens and caters to all your needs. Thank you!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We stopped by for lunch before a hike and had an amazing experience. We ordered the jungle curry, basil fried rice with shrimp, and fresh spring rolls—all of which were outstanding. The dipping sauce for the spring rolls and the flavorful fried rice were particular highlights.
​The service was warm and attentive, and the space was clean, spacious, and well-maintained (even the restrooms were pristine!). Highly recommended for a satisfying meal!“

“the downside is the delivery charges cost $7 so I can't order regularly too expensive“

“This place is always our go to when ordering Thai food in Boston area. Their soup, noodles, fried rice and curries everything is nicely and freshly made. The Masaman curry and Basil Fried Rice were the standout and tasted delicious🔥the only thing i liked less was the fried tofu in the curry or rice or noddles. Rather liked the steamed tofu more. But will definitely recommend ordering from this place“

“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!“

“Honestly, I love this place when it first opened! My friend and I became obsessed with the dumplings and literally joked about how we dreamed of them once a month for our shared double date night. Recently, we went back for our monthly date night and the menu has totally changed. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still very good. But I beg of you to please bring back the dumplings!“

“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 !“

“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!!“

“food and service are awesome. friendly environment. great atmosphere!“

“We ordered one chicken soup base and one tomato soup base, and the were both good. The dining space was a bit small, and the walls and floors look somewhat dated tho.

Overall, it's good location and variety choices, and balanced taste Malatang.“

“The food is the best, excellent portions one dinner is 2 meals! Always accommodating, even create a special dish not on menu! Owner very friendly! I have been going there for years through different owners but this owner and staff are the best!“

“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!!“

“Great newer option in the area - got delivery
. Shengjian bao was juicy and fresh. So often you get dried out filling but not here. Beef chow fun was also a standout - the noodles were great and the beef pieces were big.

Orange chicken was good - actual charred orange peel in it.

Rangoons were triangle shape with a little crimp, which for me has a little too much filling, and seems like they use cilantro in their filling (not a cilantro person). Cooked well, just less my style.

Next time I want to go in person to try the xiao long bao, salt and pepper pork chop and all the other stuff that doesn’t travel as well. The menu looks great.“

“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!“

“Excellent food. Service was amazing.“

“As always an excellent meal! Mike makes great sushi, and kitchen chefs do great things as well. Its one of our regular places.“

“My favorite place. We come down from Marblehead both to eat in and do take out. Food is delicious and they do a wonderful job of packing up food for take out. Everything is so fresh and tasty we are never disappointed.“

“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!!!“

“Food were delicious and customer service was a plus. My hubby is very picky when it comes to restaurants food but yesterday he ate all his food and said your place was great just the salmon was a little bit dry. I will suggest a little play of soft music 🎶“

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

“I was in the area to do an errand and needed to get some quick takeout.

This was some of the best sushi I have had in years. Nicely seasoned rice, perfect avocado, just all-in-all stellar quality.

I ordered all more plain items (salmon/avo, spicy tuna, hamachi sashimi, etc) but look forward to trying some special rolls in the future!“

“Amazon food every time. Buffet is fresh and hot and always changes“
