50 Best Asian Restaurants near Melrose

“I can not say enough how much I love Sushi Corner . There food is absolutely amazing. I have tried a number of things there and its always delicious and fresh! The individuals that work there are so nice and so helpful on recommendations. The tall man that works the front, love him! He is so extremely nice. I highly recommend this place if you want delicious, fresh, amazing food.“

“It's fine, maybe 3 and a half. I think it is not as high quality as some of the places around here and you know it's a take out place, not a fancy sit down restaurant. I think it would be ideal for hanging around with some folks, drinking a couple of beers and watching sports or something. The prices are great, the portions are great, the food, well it's good not great. I still reccomend and it is a great addition to Melrose long term. The tempura (and there is a lot of it) seems to be more like you would get for the breading in a sweet and sour recipe at a standard Chinese American storefront. I do like that you can choose the spiciness. The price to quality ratio is such that it gets the four, but there is higher quality thai food in the area if you are introducing someone for the first time. Let me add that the woman that worked there was friendly as hell and I showed up early and she apologized for it not being ready like she was a magician or something.“

“It was an enjoyable lunch overall. The wait initially between placing an order and the appetizers coming out was a bit long but once the appetizers came out, the rest of the meal came out quickly too, with generous portions. All three of us left VERY full and barely could finish the three noodle soups and two appetizers!“

“This place is a TRUE family operation! When they say it is Grandma's kitchen - Grandma is actually the one making your meal in the kitchen! We had the pleasure of meeting Grandma, Andy and Lynn (her family and front of house). The food was amazing and truly authentic Taiwanese fare. After our meal, grandma came out of the kitchen to make sure we enjoyed our meal. Meeting her and her family, sharing stories of Taiwan together, was truly the highlight of our evening! Thank you so much for a great memory.PLEASE support Grandma's Kitchen and keep honest, wholesome businesses like this thriving!“

“This Thai restaurant in Cambridge, MA was a fantastic discovery! The food was exceptionally delicious, and we enjoyed every dish we ordered. The vegetable salad with blue rice was a delightful surprise, with its vibrant colors. The service was also excellent, with smiles all around. The only downside was the need for improvement in their furniture seats and decor. Nonetheless, we’ll definitely be coming back on our next visit to Boston for the marathon.“

“Feel like something's changed in the past year or so. The food doesn't seem as cared for and has lost some of it's charm. not sure if just a bad day or if the chef has changed but other way feeling a little sad. still tasty but not the WOW it was “

“We've been going to Cha Yen regularly since they opened, and their Thai food is a blessing to the Watertown community! The food is always delicious and fresh, and they are excellent at accommodating substitutions. We normally do takeout, but dine in is also great and we can't wait until they open their larger space across the street. If you are looking for excellent Thai food, give Cha Yen a chance!“

“My dining experience at Fuji at Newton was nothing short of spectacular! Right from the moment we walked in, the ambiance set a high expectation with its sleek, modern decor that felt both inviting and upscale. The lighting and music were perfectly set to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for both romantic dinners and family gatherings.The service was impeccable from start to finish. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering recommendations that were spot on. It's rare to find a place where the staff is genuinely enthusiastic about their offerings, and this enthusiasm was infectious!Now, onto the star of the show - the food. Fuji at Newton offers an extensive menu that explores the rich flavors of Japanese cuisine with innovative twists that are both creative and delicious. We started with the Gyoza, which were perfectly pan-fried to a delightful crisp on the outside while remaining succulent on the inside. But the real game-changer was the sushi - each piece was a work of art, fresh and flavorful, with the sushi rice seasoned to perfection. The Dragon Roll and the Spicy Tuna Roll were particularly memorable, each bite bursting with freshness and complex flavors that danced on the palate.“

“This is some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. The fatty blue fin tuna is like wagyu of tuna (see picture). This type of cut is very rare.The place is not very big, with about 30 seats, so if it’s busy you may need to wait to be seated. Luckily the service is very fast and on-point. The chef (itamae) is super friendly and can create a-la-carte rolls.Super Fusion Sushi is now my favorite sushi place in the Boston area. Two thumbs up!!“

“It was Ladies' night for us, and we popped into Banyan. We love the décor, atmosphere, drinks. We instantly loved Jimmy who gave us the warmest welcome like we were old friends. We ended our night in Banyan and are eager to go back for a meal!“

“First of all, I can't believe we waited so long to go back to this place, since we live less than half a mile away. This is such a unique place in Chinatown, with very creative (and well made) cocktails and a menu for just about anyone's palate. After seeing a segment on TV, I really wanted to try the burger and it might be one of the top 5 burgers I've ever had (and I have had thousands). The Bao bun is just so good, as was the sauce and the pickles. Top it off with a side of duck fat fries and you have the perfect burger. We were there on a Monday night around 6:45 and the place was packed. The bar too. No pictures but I wish I had. Will definitely be back to try more of the menus.“

“If you want standard American Chinese food then order off the lunch special menu. If you want authentic Chinese food you must order off the dinner menu.They are a Szechuan restaurant so I would recommend ordering dishes like the peppercorn chicken or the Szechuan beef. Szechuan string beans are also really good.“

“Found this place via Instagram. The staff are all nice and food was great. Small seating area but when I went in the evening was able to sit. Staff told me there are two other locations which I will have to check out in the future. Will be back !“

“J and J is my families new spot for Asain tasty treats. Jean is a fantastic owner. She makes you feel like family from the time you enter the establishment. Sushi was fresh and delicious. They even made a special chicken tempura roll for my wife and added it to their POS ordering system for future visits. We call it the Elisabet roll named after my wife of course. My kids smashed every morsel of food on their plates which is especially rare for my picky 6 year old daughter who just loved her fried rice and Salmon. Kids meals are adult size so it's a great value . I had two Scorpion ? Bowls which got me feeling pretty lively. I imagine moving forward we will be doning weekly at J & J . Jean and staff thanks for the wonderful time.Blessings,Phillips Family“

“Wow. Loads of succulent roast duck included with the Panang Curry. Duck was juicy and lightly crispy, delightful. Level-five spicy had a great zing, just enough to start the heat sniffles. Loved it. Even a few hotter levels on a future trip would be awesome. Would love to come back if I'm in the area again. Huge menu of interesting selections and everything I saw coming from the kitchen looked really inviting. Kudos! Quick seating for two on a Saturday night just after 6pm, but it filled up quickly by 6:30 with a small gathering of eager eaters waiting for tables. It's worth the wait.“

“Little Big Diner serves up a symphony of flavors in their spicy tan tan ramen. By swapping chili ground pork for the decadent chashu pork, akin to pork belly, they’ve elevated the dish to a celestial level. The cloudy, flavorful broth dances on your taste buds, while the melt-in-your-mouth pork and perfectly balanced noodles complete the gastronomic masterpiece. For a taste of the best ramen Boston has to offer, Little Big Diner is a must-visit culinary oasis.“

“I took my dear friend Alla to dinner. She promised me the New Ginza would have great food. Honestly, it was the best Japanese food I ever had! We ordered Avocado salad, volcano Maki, with a fabulous shitaKe mushroom topping and scorpion maki. Fresh food with a wonderful mix of spices. Can't wait to return next time I am in Boston.Andrea“

“Convenient location (from the mall) and easy online ordering. We were surprised that our order took nearly 25 minutes but realized it was because the dumplings clearly were made to order from scratch. Everything was outstanding and the wait staff happily let us sit inside and gave water while we waited. Truly a hidden gem.“

“This is my go to sushi spot. If you're looking for a specialty roll, you need to try the sakura. Hands down the best roll I've ever had. The restraunt is extremely clean and warm. The staff are welcoming, and there is often a pianist playing some music.“

“Nice little restaurant/bar off rt1 my son brought me here and I have to say I was amazed at how good the food was and at night they do karaoke ? where you can sing right from your seat it was so much fun I would Definitely Recommend checking it out with your friends for a fun night out uou won't be disappointed we had a blast and the food and service was great really friendly and good people. I will definitely be returning.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“The pho was wonderful -- aromatic broth with beautiful, fresh basil, lime, and sprouts. Not too far from Logan, this place was just right after a gruelling slog from the west coast. The service was great, the price was right, the place was clean, and the food was delicious.“

“This is literally the best Chinese food restaurant in Massachusetts. Food is 5/5 - both Chinese & Sushi. Service is 5/5, Drinks are 5/5. The only negative is that it's so popular you may have to wait for a table, but it's worth the wait!“

“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.“

“Good Thai and Korean dishes served at this restaurant ?. Their menu offers many choices, from Japanese to Thai and Korean dishes. We ordered Thai dishes, and we prefer spicier foods. They didn't disappoint they were very tasty, just enough heat like we prefer ? .Well worth the try ?“

“Recommended!! New fav hotpot buffet spot in Malden! >> Reasonable price + Clean + Fresh + Yummy + warm service???The bone broth and spicy butter broth are awesome. The meats are tender and delicious.The sweet sticky rice in buffet menu is yummm.Also we tried the meat in the screwers today (a la carte). It's good as well.Overall, Definitely come back ?“

“Awesome local place. Consistently quick takeout. Or come sit at the bar for a drink and a Rangoon and a good time. One of the only lively places in Arlington ??‍♀️ They often have live music, and will let ya put whatever you want on the tv!“

“Sushi is great and very well priced. Eating in or take out is great. Fish is always awesome and the prices and deals can't be beat. The workers are always amazing to work with if something is incorrect and they make sure to make it right. I always order “

“What can I say… we drive to this place from Cambridge and the service is just at the top! Those girl’s waiters are just fantastic. Efficient, kind and very very fast! The food is just amazing. They cook everything in a minutes. They truly respect your time and everything you ask for is right there with a smile and welcoming faces! Great family place! We love this place a lot!“

“Tried it while in the area based on Yelp reviews. Got the springs rolls and pan fried dumplings as appetizers. The spring rolls were okay not great. The pan fried dumplings were really good. for entrees we got the Vegetarian Delight, the Basil Chicken with eggplant in Garlic sauce, and Chicken in black bean sauce. The vegetables in the Delight were excellent, the sauce was one of those sort of Chinese American white sauces that I am not really a fan of but was still decent. The Basil chicken dish was quite tasty, really good sauce and the eggplant was really, really good. The chicken in black bean was a simple but excellent dish. The serving dishes might have seemed cool in concept but perhaps had a flaw in actual use because they seemed to have a tendency to easily overflow due to design that has weakness on either end. Simple order at the counter and they bring to your table in the small dining room. Seems to be primarily a take out place but the dining room was clean and the service to the table good. They checked in on us. Bathroom was nice and clean.“

“The food here is very good, the food is made to order and the service is very good. I prefer a lighter hand with less salt and cornstarch but I understand that their typical clientele expects a more experienced style. I appreciate fresh vegetables and beautiful service. Good value lunch specials with the option to upsize for just a few dollars.“

“I am a big fan of this location, especially for a quick and easy lunch! I enjoy the variety of options that Poke Garden has to offer, and it is really fun to make new bowls all the time! I especially love the shrimp tempura and salmon bowls, and they are always sure to give generous portions! The workers are very kind and quick to serve you at the counter. Little pricey but worth it for the poke bowls!“

“Very good food. We got Spicy Bamboo with beef which was very tasty. The vegetables in the dish were yummy. The beef could have been cooked till more tender. It was too chewy for me. We had an appetizer, golden triangles, that were okay. I bet they would be better if there were 2-3 larger ones rather than many smaller ones. They reminded me of tiny Indian Samosas. The sweet chili sauce was perfect. The service was great. Atmosphere is that of a small place with about 10 tables. I would return for sure.“

“Been up and down with Masala. It was a favorite of mine, went downhill, but is back to good IMO.My favorite is the methi chicken, but going the lunch buffet today was exceptionally good. Lots of dishes, not just "the usual”. Fragrant and delicious.“

“The menu is a masterful celebration of Asian cuisine, with a strong emphasis on Japanese flavors. We started with a selection of appetizers, including the Edamame sprinkled with sea salt and the Gyoza, which were perfectly pan-fried to achieve that desirable crispiness on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside.The sushi is undoubtedly the star of the show. We indulged in the Chef's Special Sushi Platter, which was a visual and gustatory delight. Each piece of sushi was fresh, with the fish's natural flavors shining through, complemented by perfectly seasoned rice. The Dragon Roll and the Spicy Tuna Roll were also standout choices, offering a harmonious blend of textures and flavors.“

“Favorite Thai Takeout in Wakefield. I order from here very regularly. It's a cute hole in the wall type place with excellent food. Service is always great - friendly and quick. Few of my favorite meals: Charm Thai Fried Rice, Pad Woonsen, Drunken Noodle, Red Chicken Curry, and Green Chicken Curry. Everything is fresh and flavorful, not overwhelming or bland and the portions are great - I usually get two meals out of it. They are not stingy with the protein either. The Thai Iced Tea is also made really well here. It's right on Main Street - when you can snag a parking spot right in front/on Main Street it's a dream, but there is a parking lot and (side) street parking right around the corner. They also do delivery if you prefer or need that. There is only one maybe two tables inside so it's definitely a takeout joint, not an eat-in kind of restaurant, but if you are craving Thai food and want something delicious, this is the place to go!“

“I had a large combination pho for take-out. It was very good and had all ingredients I expected, with good meat. They are nice. The atmosphere is peaceful with pleasant music in the background. The price is a great deal; I paid much more at another place in Woburn. If I lived closer I'd go here every week as I guess they also have Thai food. You can't usually park right in front; close to lunchtime I just parked close by on E. Nichols (the street where the fire station is).“

“Just ordered luncheons Sushi fresh and delicious with a generous amount of sushi, miso soup and a salad. Also got luncheon with chow Mein came with wonton soup and crab Rangoon. Veggies were crunchy and light, fried rice was fresh. Good value and considerately packaged. Very fresh. Highly recommend this place.“

“They have sweet rice drinks and yogurt/fruit flavored drinks. Although, they don't offer boba, they go for a more traditional and less sweet taste. The sour yogurt brings me back home to the taste of the yogurt I used to have back in Beijing. I wish Yomie's was more centralized in Allston with the other businesses, but glad they are in Boston nevertheless.“

“I've been coming here since the late 90s, great family owned Chinese restaurant!Bar and food are solid! Place is an institution!I'm rooting for the family that owns the place! You folks are doing a great job!Worth the drive from Boston!“

“The kitchen is large, the staff is friendly, and the sushi is delicious.There are about 6 tables, but there are a lot of people going to go, and the turnover is quick, so you can eat fresh food.I ordered the Chef special and the lunch box, both were delicious and the eel in the lunch box was really delicious.I will definitely come back next time I come to Boston.“

“Gen sushi is our go-to neighborhood sushi joint. They provide high quality sushi with notably larger pieces of fish than competing restaurants in the area. We particularly enjoy the way they prepare nigiri! They have friendly and welcoming staff and we appreciate their early opening time of 4 PM.“

“Stopping by for a quick mid day dine. First- Lychee Martini was wonderful. Second- steamed Thai chicken peanut dumplings. They were sure tasty, just a bit of a tough chew for some. The meat and toasted peanut was a little over cooked. I don't mind that so much. I like my meat really done. The ginger sauce is yummy. Third- takoyaki app. Perfect bites of tempura balls filled with octopus. The top of mayo and bonito flakes made me get a real smoke gun flavor. Loved it!“

“Deena wings , Black Label maki, and filet mignon tips will blow your mind! Great atmosphere! Great service! Sometimes you wanna go Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came You wanna be where you can see Our troubles are all the same You wanna be where everybody knows your name“

“I had to come back and update my review -- Shine's has changed, and I think it's great. I hadn't been here since pre-COVID, but a few months ago my family decided to give it another try, and we've been back regularly ever since. The menu is almost completely different from what it was back in 2017: they are focused on authentic dishes, and doing it very well. I wish I'd come back sooner! The menu contains a lot of choices that aren't typical, but are very tasty. We particularly like the Rougamo sandwiches (listed on the menu as "burgers", but that's not exactly how I would describe them) and the "pancakes" (more like stuffed crepes, sort of), particularly the shredded potato pancakes. The soups are also excellent and unusual. And there are still areas of the menu we haven't explored at all. (I have no idea what "Toofy" is... guess I'll have to try it.) My only (minor) complaint is that you order at a kiosk (or online, for take-out) so you can't ask the waiter/waitress for any info/recommendations.“

“An absolute gem of a place!!! Food is delicious u cannot go wrong with anything you order here! My boyfriend and I come here very often and each time we receive great service & hospitality! If you're around the area you must try it!! I drive 25 min and totally worth it each time :) def recommend their crab ragoons and beef chow foon!“

“Food is the best and Joe and his staff are friendly , happy to have you come in or pickup/delivery !! Eggs rolls are the best ones ever and the vegetable fried rice , chicken & vegetables . My family lived in Peabody for many years and have since moved away but still drive "home" to get our favorite . Have a Mai Tai while you are waiting for your food !! Consistently great food , WE LOVE THIS PLACE !!“

“Third time came here. Ordered steamed egg with minced meat, fresh and soft taste. Fish fillet with double pepper with noodles, highly recommended if love spicy ?️ food. Cumin beef, good taste but a little bit too dry and some of them not 100% fresh, might not order again.“

“The smile of a warm welcome, a friendly and calm atmosphere, fast service and always with a smile are the ingredients for preparing a fragrant dish, whether rice or pasta.The cooking is absolutely perfect, the spices are measured to perfection, the portion is generous, the value for money is very good. What other feeling than that of wanting to come back could arise from this encounter, as risky as it was happy?Very pleasant moment ?“

“Best Thai place around the Tewksbury/Wilmington area. Always great service and the food is INCREDIBLE! The atmosphere really helps you enjoy the food as I'm always feeling relaxed. Make sure to check this place out if you're close by!“

“A decent option for Taiwanese and Chinese food in South End.Lured by their UE promotions, I recently decided to give Yummee a try, despite being initially hesitant due to its lower ratings and reports of long preparation times. As mentioned by other people, food prep took about an hour, and our delivery took over two hours. Food arrived somewhat cold, but the food itself was better than we expected.Some of the standouts were the Taiwanese Braised Minced Pork Rice and the Crispy Fried Chicken. I especially liked the kick of acidity from the rice bowl topping, which managed to capture the essence of Taiwanese cuisine quite well. On the other hand, the Braised Pork Belly was disappointingly dry, and the Mega Ramen, while ambitiously topped, suffered from a lackluster broth.While Yummee may not top the charts in its category, the food somewhat defied its modest ratings. Just a tip: order well in advance for a smoother pick-up or delivery experience.“
