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.“

“Food and cocktails were outstanding—inventive and original while not feeling too unfamiliar. Bang Bang Gai chicken was a punchy standout and the pork dumplings were also delicious. Service was attentive and knowledgeable about the restaurant.“

“It was our first time visiting Grandma’s Kitchen. We arrived 5 minutes early Friday evening and there was a short line already. There are only a handful of tables so it’s worth coming early to get seating right away.

We tried the popcorn chicken, bean curd, chicken cutlet, braised beef noodle, spicy wonton, and salted pork chop. The fried chicken dishes were definitely the standouts. The chicken cutlet was especially well seasoned and flavored. The beef noodle broth was also quite good. The spicy wontons were solid but didn’t wow me. The salted pork chop I thought was a little tough. I would order the fried chicken dishes and beef noodle again in a heartbeat but probably not the wontons or salted pork chop.

The service was on point and the server was very friendly. There atmosphere was very nice. It was relatively quiet and very open which was a nice change from many places that are super loud and pack people in like sardines.

Definitely worth a try and I look forward to coming back.“

“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...“

“We were visiting from out of state and picked this restaurant bc all the reviews mentioned the people working there were nice and the food was good.
They 100% live up to that. They were super kind and the food was great. They were attentive, the plates were nicely presented with decorative flowers and the atmosphere is relaxed.

At the end when we got our check we ate our fortune cookies and mine said I would receive a large sum of money. We went to the casino and won $500! So not only was the food yummy but they are also a good luck charm 😜“

“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!“

“Great food and service equals great value!!“

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

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

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Very busy during meal times especially on Friday night! I would personally avoid ordering more than three or four items for pick up when it's really busy as I have had items left out. I am sure they are more careful with online orders. The biang biang noodles are so yummy, but watch out if you have blood sugar control issues. Carb BOMB. The food seems to be all very oily also but that's the nature of some of their most delicious offerings like chili oil splashed noodles. My kids always ask for House of Noodles whenever they come to town. They were born and raised in Hong Kong so have had their fair share of good noodles and this ranks right up there and makes them miss Hong Kong just a little less.“

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“We had gone several times when this was Nana7. It was always good but seemed to be going downhill. We saw the new sign, and decided to give it a try. Boy are we glad we did! Delicious food, cooked to perfection. Really delicious drinks. Wonderful chef Han. Sharp spiffy atmosphere. Would give ten stars if we could.“

“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!!!!“

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

“Our 1st time ordering, and we were not disappointed! The General Taos chicken was delicious. Small pieces, very crispy, and just enough heat. Large portion! Lo mein….scrumptious. Fried wonton was so good. The delivery was fast, and the driver was very nice. Our new favorite!“

“Neat & looks well maintained. Good to enjoy the food with friends - be brave, give yourself the option to try out more good food!

In a nutshell (and more importantly), serves good HK style food and dim sum; definitely worth a return trip.“

“This is a Cambridge classic that holds up time and time again. From a unique and broad menu, to solid classic dishes and just a surprisingly good in person atmosphere. This is the kind of place you can go, know what to expect and come away happy. Pick your favorite dishes, try something new, from the sukiyaki, to the beef pad see ew, or an easy fried rice. Go, enjoy.“

“This place is so good! I always finish what I order and that does not happen at other places. The sushi is fresh and they have an interesting selection. I’ve only had pleasant interactions with staff! Hardly any waiting for the food too! Love it!“

“Great sushi Great service“

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

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

“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.“

“We just had a large event at the house and we ordered over $700 in food and the one word to describe the whole experience is SPECTACULAR! Went in the store a couple weeks prior and spoke to a super nice young lady( sorry I forgot your name). We talked about the number of people, our likes and together we carved out a perfect amount of food. The delivery was great, very friendly and most importantly the food was hot, fresh and DELICIOUS!! So, THANK YOU! to everyone at 88 Cafe. You helped made our event a huge success!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Worker ran down the stairs and ran to find our car and give us a roll they missed to give us. If that’s not dedication then I don’t know what is, you guys have to check this place.

Ps. The food was amazing 10/10 would come here again“

“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.“

“Bangkok Spice is my new go-to Thai spot in Reading. The food was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. Service was fast and friendly, and the portions are generous for the price. Clean, comfortable spot with a solid menu of Thai classics done right. Highly recommend, will be back soon.“

“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 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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
