50 Best Asian Restaurants near Saugus

“This restaurant was across from our hotel, we love Polynesian kitsch/tiki culture and were glad to find this was a restaurant as well as a bar. The drinks and atmosphere were amazing, the food was a little different than our west Coast Chinese food tho, so I docked a star for food and price. So so glad we stumbled upon this place tho! If anyone from this area finds themselves in Oregon (where we're from) and you're looking for something similar, I'd highly suggest The Alibi (est 1947) or Hale Pele“

“Delicious food, friendly attentive staff and wide selection of menu items. Visiting from Alaska and we were told this was the best. They weren’t wrong.“

“inside of a nice Simon Mall, lots seating! Very friendly staff, very good food!!! better than Panda Express. best chow mein I have ever had. Very big portions too, picture is after I ate 1/2 of the food!! Very good broccoli as well :) some crunch, not over cooked.“

“Today, my wife told me that she wanted to have some good Chinese food, so we decided to explore a good Chinese restaurant. We came across a restaurant called The Dumpling Garden in Saugus, and we went there to try their food. It was the best experience we’ve had so far. I fully recommend it, and the staff there is very friendly. You should definitely go and try it!“

“Very welcoming. I got there about an hour before closing so I picked my food quickly. I had the Creamy Tum Yum and added a little chili oil to it for some spice. It is a great dish for someone who wants flavor with little to no heat. There was plenty of pork and two shrimp tails. I also had the Thai Tea which from the picture in the menu I was worried was a premade mix. Instead it came out fresh and required me to swirl it around to blend the cream. Perfect flavor and temperature. Not overly sweet like some places make it.

The atmosphere was laid back with some cool art work on the walls. Definitely gave a college town feel. The bathroom could use some work. It wasn't scary. It was clean and well stocked but it is definitely on the back burner when it comes to decorating.

I'm surprised they don't have merchandise. Their logo would be a cool patch on a hat. Seems like most restaurants are doing this now and I'm here for it. Better than buying shot glasses.

Anyways, check the place out for some good hot pots, ramen, etc. when in the area.“

“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.“

“Awesome Dumplings!! Great Service!☺️“

“Maybe it's a theme here but all the food was mostly salty and had lime in it. My group of 8 people thought the same. I think the waitress was new so maybe she needed more training. We asked for sauces and it took her 20 mins to get them. In the end, we asked for the bill, same thing happened. Took her awhile to get it. The restaurant was not busy at all. I think they could chill out on the lime and salt. Even our dumplings were limy. The decor was beautiful and IG worthy. The bar was pretty as well. Hope they will improve next time I dine here.“

“Great food and service equals great value!!“

“Cannot emphasize enough how great Mae Asian Eatery is! We recently stopped in for dinner and would definitely return. The food was fantastic -- a Chinese-Thai fusion that was really yummy. The service was also outstanding. It was super fast (especially impressive considering how busy it was), everyone was very kind, and we got to speak with the owner afterward who told us about the food (the secret to how yummy it is? His wife is the chef!) and the history behind the name. Just an all-around great experience and cool local business we were happy to visit.“

“This restaurant is so good, it is my first time here and I am impressed. The flavor is very authentic Asian, my favorite was the mango crispy duck and the pai thai. The pai tai tastes sweet and sour, the flavor is clean and refreshing. The duck is tender, the skin is crispy, and the sauce is similar to curry, and there is only a hint of spicy. I also like the fried chicken, it is crispy and juicy, and the sweet and spicy sauce just add a perfect layer of the taste. The curry were also really good, we had red curry with beef and green curry with seafood. I didn’t try the red curry but my friend love it. And my green curry is a definite recommendation, the seafood with curry taste perfect, there is a hint of spicy although it was mild. We had Ice Thai tea, both regular and green tea ones. And I love the green tea one, it is new. The service was really good, love it.“

“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!“

“My husband and I love J&J! We’ve been going faithfully since they opened. They have the best owners, staff, and Chinese/Asian fusion food in the area. Their sushi and drinks are top notch. Most importantly the service is amazing. We got a few trays of food from them too for New Year’s Eve. Not sure if they offer catering all the time but would def suggest not only dining in the restaurant but ordering takeout/catering as well!“

“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!“

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

“Everything we have had there has been TOP NOTCH. Dumplings (7 kinds and counting), noodles (5 kinds and counting), soups (3 kinds), and the scallion pancakes ( every time we go). We have been there on busy nights, slow nights and afternoons. We have eaten in and ordered takeaway. My daughter has ordered delivery. We keep co.ing back and ordering new things because all dishes have been quite extraordinary.
The ambiance is more family than upscale and always clean, well-lit, and inviting. The staff is friendly, timely, and very helpful.
We've been back at least 15x. It's on the permanent rotation!“

“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!“

“This is my 3rd time here. My husband & his best friend use to go here almost regularly whenever
they got together. His friend has passed away. Our waitress asked how he was doing & very understanding and thoughtful herself when she found out. The place is happily decorated (they have a Christmas tree all decorated in the entrance for the joy it brings!!)Bell like music & 2 TVs with sports on. They are at least 2 sisters all 3 ladies recognized & greeted us. Food is excellent!!! We both had soup -hot & sour for me, wonton for him- fresh & tasty, wonton seem to be freshly made. I love seaweed salad- theirs is the only I have ever been srved w/out iceberg lettuce
'filler'!!. He had sweetened chicken fried rice & a spring roll, I had their tofu w.garlic sauce & white rice. Food was delicious. Hospitality genuine and sweet. Atmosphere unique and pleasant. Paid city parking and plenty of it. There's a small bar.Bathroom accom
modations are clean and spacious
We will be back often. They have been in business for awhile for clearly obvious reasons!!“

“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.“

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

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

“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 !“

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

“Love this place great food and service“

“The works poke bowl is excellent! Sauce, flavors and sushi were extremely delicious. Space inside is quite clean and there are a decent amount of seats to dine in. Will definitely be returning!

We swapped the spicy tuna for ahi tuna and added avocado -10/10 recommend“

“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.“

“The food is amazing! I totally forgot the name of the dish but the pork with noodle dish with the fried rangoon was amazing def recommend 🍜. Crispy chicken basil is also good and I recommend it with the sticky rice 🍚. The Hor Mok (salmon, shrimp, etc. curry inside a coconut 🥥) is pretty good too! The mango sticky rice is a go-to dessert 🥭“

“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!“

“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.“

“My new go-to spot for late night Chinese food.

Saw these spots popping up around the GBA a couple of months ago. At first glance, I figured it was just another low-tier takeout-focused Chinese joint. But after catching one of their flyers, I decided to give it a shot.

The place seemed fairly new, and the cleanliness was definitely a step up from your average Chinese takeout spot. Their menu is a bit of a mash-up, featuring both Chinese dishes and sushi rolls, but I wasn’t quite ready to roll the dice on sushi from here. I stuck with the classics (Twice cooked pork, shumai, etc), and most things I tried were solid. Prices aren’t exactly a steal, but the portions are generous, and the staff have always been friendly.

Compared to the late-night spots in Chinatown that I used to go to, the real perk of Dumpling Garden is the hassle-free street parking. Sure, the ratings might not be high, but I would still recommend giving them a try.“

“Great food with gluten free options!“

“Great food! Amazing lunch specials! Too much food I had to take home leftovers“

“Authentic and great Khmer food from a Khmer lady! Love to see the Cambodian representation in the area! What’s awesome is that this business specializes in being a vendor hence the appearance in many food festivals! Considering this, the hours at this physical establishment may be altered at times!“

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

“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!!“

“I have been ordering take out from China Wok for about 15 years and have always been pleased with a fair price, excellent service and great food. I drive in and out of Boston 4 days a week and have tried a few other Chinese restaurants of the many I pass on my way home to Gloucester and none have met the quality, price and service that China Wok offers.“

“Yesterday was the first time we came to that fine restaurant. But It is definitely not the last time. We had great time with the good service, with the exceptional food and wine and with the comfortable payment. We will surely visit there in a short time.“

“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.“

“One of my late grandfathers favorite take out restaurants, and I can see why. I’ve been going to this place for years and their quality is amazing! I fully recommend this place to anyone in the area, and I recommend their chicken teriyaki and their lo mein, both very good!“

“The general tso chicken was some of the best I've had, the fried rice tho...meh. it wasn't really good. I'd give the chicken 5 stars, but that fried rice one star. The crab rangoon were really good. Great amount of stuffing, and nice size. Id give them 4 stars. Def a place I'll come back to on my visits to Boston for work“

“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.“

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

“We’ve gone a few times now and the taste and quality of the food, sushi and drinks are soo good. Highly recommend. Best Chinese food I’ve had in the area.“

“Pretty standard menu with Japanese and Chinese options. This is our favorite takeout on weeknights in Reading and always good. Dining in is nice, clean and the service is fast and perfect amount of attention. The menu isn’t super creative and leaves me wanting more options like maybe some soup or steamed dumplings but I think their strength is hibachi and sushi.

Parking: Huge lot

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly“

“Great food and great service!! Loved it here!!“

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

“Umm, umm so good. Great owners and delicious food.“

“Small space with decent bar & stool seating that is filled with a heavenly aroma. Decent prices for a huge bowl of Ramen. The chicken Ramen has shredded chicken which was as fresh as the bok choy & mushrooms. Everything was tasty down to the broth. The cook/server was quiet sure but very polite. This is food that cures all matters of the soul.“

“I'm new to the Boston area and this place has the best poke bowl I've ever had in my life. I will drive the extra distance just to come here.

The freshness of the fish and the quantity in the poke bowl was simply amazing. I will come back here many times I just wish it was closer to my house.“

“Yum yum yum! Great food, friendly service and the decor is fun as well. Chicken satay and peanut sauce is one of my favorite dishes. We ordered for pickup but they forgot an item, and they were kind enough to deliver it to our house so we didn’t need to go back up for pick up. Looking forward to going again!“
