50 Best Asian Restaurants near Dorchester

“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.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“I think the recent negative review must've been a bot / AI (maybe some jealously going on there). Either way- Darling is an incredible bar with great product and friendly service. I would not be surprised to see them win some major awards next year. As a new establishment, Darling is absolutely crushing it and I am so happy to welcome them in Central Square. Cocktails are refined, balanced and interesting. Clarification techniques assure everything is smooth and refreshing. The enoki bao are things of dreams. Coursing allows for fun conversation between dishes with a date or friend.. Darling team thank you for everything you do! You are a wonderful presence and important place in the Boston cocktail scene :)“

“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!“

“My family had a wonderful dinner at Mae’s last night. The service was efficient, attentive without being obtrusive and warm. The food was excellent, flavorful, balanced, light. We had number of dishes…pork gyoza (we went back for 2nds on this one), spring rolls, basil fried rice (nice spice level…maybe a little more oil than needed), ma po tofu, general Tso’s Thai chicken, and pad Thai (the star of the show). The mocktails were fresh and complex. Will be back. Oh we made a reservation. Highly recommend doing so.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“I recently visited this restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very welcoming. What really made our visit special was the excellent service from our waitress, Karen. She was very friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Karen’s positive attitude and professionalism made the experience even better. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place, especially because of the great service we received from her. 😊“

“The best sushi!! Great quality super tasty 10/10 friendly staff I recommend!!!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“You could taste the freshness in the food, generous portions and very clean dining area. I recommend.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“One of the few newer spots in Brookline Village that seems like it's going to be a great lunch option. There are a few bar stools and a counter but more of a grab and go style. We took ours to the picnic tables across the street in front of the library.

We ordered
-Fruity Oolong Tea with Lychee Jelly
-Fruity Lemonade with Mango
-Chicken Katsu Burg with Mala Spicy Sauce
-Bulgolgi Steak Burg with House Fries

The staff was very polite and was able to make recommendations to our taste. The food took about 10 minutes to prepare and tasted fresh.

We really enjoyed the seasoning on the house fries and are excited to come back and try the bowl versions as the flavors were great on both burgs.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“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!“

“My friends and I had a wonderful lunch at Pho 89 in Randolph, MA the past few days ago. We all enjoyed and appreciated the great services from Huy Huynh, server. He is not only doing his job very well; but also very pleasant and professional. This is one of the reasons that we always go back to Pho 89.“

“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!!“

“delicious poki bowls and creative poki burritos. Ramen was great too“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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“

“First visit tonight and we have been impressed with the food. Service was not great, but we definetely will be back. Rolls are exceptionally good!) Thank you!“

“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 💛“

“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。“

“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.“

“Very flavorful! I first had the bibimbap which was super yummy! Definitely go for the lunch specials--great value and excellent opportunity to try out other dishes. I upgraded to the combo which had 2 crab rangoon and a drink for $2 more.“

“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. 😋“
