50 Best Asian Restaurants near Lexington

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“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😅“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“Great tasting food and customer service is amazing. New ownership!!! Tried a bunch of apps and food. Fried gyozas were super crispy as well as the wings! nice noodle soups and I love the curry. I will have to be back to try more of the menu. Milk tea and Boba available as well as my always favorite Thai ice tea!“

“I recommend if youre on a lunch break, or if you really want Chinese food. The cashier was very nice, and they also helped me understand a situation I had on GrubHub, from now on if I was hungry id go in the store, be greated by the kind cashier! Loved it!“

“I got take out at the Golden Ginger for the first time in years, the service was great and the food was all delicious and freshly made to order. I had stopped going there when I had started eating gluten free food, however, I just realized that they now have great gluten free options including my favorite, General Gau's chicken! Family members who don't eat gluten free loved the hot & sour soup, the spring rolls, the boneless honey ribs, and the beef and broccoli. I am definitely going to be going back to eat there as well as for take out. I highly recommend them!“

“Quality, taste, presentation - everything at Mango II is top notch! We don't live close by anymore, but we still make the drive because it's JUST THAT GOOD!“

“Great sushi Great service“

“Such a great spot! We came here while visiting the area and loved everything we ordered. The food was incredibly fresh, the flavors were amazing, and the service couldn't have been better. Between the amazing food and great hospitality, this was easily our favorite meal of the trip. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town.“

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

“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 sushi, particularly liked the Around the World roll if you’re in to salmon tempura.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Absolutely excellent sushi and bento boxes. Probably the best I've had in Massachusetts. I've been going for years. The servers are very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere is excellent as well and very quiet and easy to talk in. It's a hidden gem.“

“My boyfriend and I love it here! When the staff learned it was his birthday they went all out with taking care of us. The staff are so kind and want you to enjoy the experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

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

“Still loving this place. There are new owners and they updated the decor inside, looks great. Customer service is still friendly and helpful with food questions. Today we tried the new soups, ginger noodle and vegetable soup with some crispy vegetable rolls. Sooooo good!! The broth for both soups is so fresh, it feels like I’m doing a good thing for my body having them. The taste is just right and not salty, I might have this weekly. And the veggie rolls are same as before just a little bigger. Love them, just the right crunch and they are not oily. Enjoy friends, I’m so glad we have a place like this in Reading.“

“Food is very flavorful! Truly a hole in the wall and found it by chance cause we didn't want to eat inside Natick Mall.
The tom yum was flavorful with a kick, it's on the sweet side which I like. The curry with the duck is very tasty. No fancy decoration or table setting. Nice staff and good tasting Thai food, no BS! 👍“

“I highly recommend this place“

“Wide range of traditional and inventive Thai favorites. They will tailor the "heat" to whatever you prefer. Bustling pick up business with a lot of regulars, and relaxed indoor service for business and family dinners. They recently added an amazing sushi area. The sushi chef is fabulous! Utterly delicious with a top notch presentation. On par with any sushi I had living in Japan.“

“Pho 1 has changed a lot and I’ve been going there for years. Last night I ordered the beef soup for take out and when I got home and opened it the meat was like shredded and not the same consistency that had been in the past. These are hard times for all of us and giving customers scraps is no acceptable. I will go again later in the year and see if they have improved.“

“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.“

“Who doesn’t love a tasty combo of noodles and orange chicken? Sure, your girlfriend - or basically anyone who’s ever side-eyed your culinary choices - might claim that orange chicken just isn’t that into you. But let’s be real: when you get those sweet, tangy bites perched on a pile of steaming-hot noodles, it’s like a match made in foodie heaven.

Here’s the catch: this place really needs to keep those noodles piping hot. If they’re not, you’ll still enjoy them, but it’s kind of like watching a blockbuster movie with the sound off - some of the magic just disappears. All it would take is a little more care to turn a decent meal into something downright unforgettable.“

“We were fortunate to find John (Hibachi Cook) recently after learning his previous establishment closed. We've gone to him for over 26 yrs - 3 generations in my family. He is the best Hibachi cook, we've ever had; my daughter and granddaughter will ONLY have his cooking and wonderful personality. So glad he landed at Tulip - look forward to many more visits with him :) Finding it very strange website will now allow pictures/media to be uploaded :( after multiple attempts. Very unusual“

“service is great food is amazing“

“The food was great!! The service, I should say our service was very poor. We waited over 47 minutes before we were served our meals. The problem was not the kitchen because a couple who came in after us was served before us. It was the wait staff.“

“Best sushi and great service.“
