50 Best Asian Restaurants near Waltham

“Very decent Chinese restaurant. About as good as you’ll get in Boston. The pork fried rice is excellent, with generous meat and great consistency. Salt and pepper ribs are solid, string beans are as you would expect with nice heat. The Shanghai noodles were pretty good but I preferred the other items on the menu. Scallion pancakes were excellent; very crispy.“

“Ordered beef with broccoli, beef with green and pepper and onion, shrimp fried rice, and a glass of fruit punch. Shared it all between two people and took home all leftovers, and I can’t believe I’m writing this but NO complaints. I have a hard time with beef/chicken often tasting a little gamey or subtly foul at other restaurants. It’s something that with enough seasoning, I don’t think most pick up on because I’ve usually been alone in that observation. However, the meat was clearly clean, seasoned with ginger which helped enhance all the other flavors, and then the beef with broccoli sauce. It was just amazing.

Parking: You’ll usually find street parking, might take a loop at most but if you’re having trouble, park at the paid parking lot off Walnut Street and walk 2 blocks.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food and service here are amazing. The food here is cooked by a lovely Taiwanese ahma so it is clearly authentic Taiwanese food! This makes me miss the food at home. 非常道地又好吃 yummyyyy. The popcorn chicken was also crispy and the spice was just right. Braised beef noodle soup was tender and melts in your mouth. Overall I had a great experience and will come back soon for more!“

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

“One of my favorite restaurants in all of Boston/Cambridge. The short rib khao soi MIGHT be the best dish in the entire state, it is absolutely perfect. Great beer selection with affordable prices. The staff is always friendly, and the owners are so incredibly sweet. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.“

“It’s a tiny place with a line of seating facing the wall and a few more facing the window/street. Stoves where the noodles are cooked are right next to the seats. There are two self order screens for customers to place orders, so the servers can be spared from taking orders— they are too busy. They are short with servers so there’s a bit wait for the food and for them to clean the tables. Everything is crowded. Also You have to go through the back kitchen prep area to get to the bathroom which is clean. But the food is great. Had hand pulled noodles with lamb, sour soup hand pulled noodles and pork Chinese burger 肉夹馍 all good! 肉夹馍has decent amount of meat.“

“Exceptional food and service. I really love the care and effort put into the packaging and preparation as I’ve had a couple really big orders and I can see the staff diligently triple checking the accuracy of everything.

Thai dishes have a ton of flavor and are on par with the best you can get in the area. Love that the scallion pancakes are crispy and not saturated in grease as you see at other places. This will be my go to place indefinitely for Thai takeout.“

“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!!“

“Fusion Taste is a great spot to enjoy solid Chinese food, a huge sushi bar, or grab a drink at the full bar. There’s table service and the bar can provide beer, wine, and a variety of Asian cocktails or traditional cocktails. You will not be disappointed. I would recommend a visit or even takeout!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of dishes can be prepared meatless

Parking: There’s a small lot right out front. Inexpensive paid parking but free at night and on Sunday.

Kid-friendliness: Hugh chairs available. Plenty of options for a young one.

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat entry. Door is not electronic but swings open with a flat entrance to get in.“

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

“I ordered the Flat noodle (with beef) , and spring rolls. Tasty! (Er, came out piping hot, so make sure to give it a moment before chowing down). No frill, but a very cool computer takes your order, great for takeout. Sitting down near the window gives a nice view of the Belmont arch and Belmont Center.“

“Delish!!! I’m 8 months pregnant and this pregnancy has been VERY TOUGH for my food intake. Very picky about what I’m eating (not by choice) but this baby seems to like only healthy items. No soda, no cake, candy, cookies, no fried foods (fries in the picture were not for me), no ice cream etc. Haven’t been able to eat beef either! But I’ve been craving Riceburg’s bulgogi steak!“

“This is a very small place but feels very authentic inside. I got two pretty plain rolls (rainbow and cali) and I wish I would have tried something fancier because I get the impression they’d put more love into the better rolls. Still my lunch was tasty and I left pleased with the order.“

“Somerville 's Best sushi & sashimi!!!!!Our family was never disappointed and we come here a lot!!!!!!Super recommend !!!!!!“

“We typically go elsewhere, but Christmas Eve our usual spot was closed and Joy Luck came through for us! We loved it and it’s become our new favorite. Veggie lo mein was amazing and my husband is obsessed with their hot and sour soup. Portions are generous, and while the prices seem slightly higher than other Chinese places around here($50 for 2 noodle dishes, soup, and an entree), we will definitely go back because the portions are large and the quality is really good. Sometimes they underestimate how long it will take so I recommend going to pick up like 10 min after they estimate it’ll be ready.“

“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 🥭“

“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.“

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

“It doesn't get much better, and I have had sushi in many different places.“

“This little cafe/restaurant is nestled in an alley next to a general store, it gives speakeasy vibes. The place is small, but clean and welcoming. I want to say it’s family owned, but I am not sure.

Their menu has breakfast/lunch/dinner options, plenty of options for vegetarians as well. We started with some scallion pancakes, they were crisp and delicious.

We ordered their drunken noodles with vegetables and basil fried rice 🍚 with egg and tofu. Their noodles 🍝 were saucy( I like when they are not dry, so I loved it) it also had the perfect level of spices, lots of veggies like broccoli 🥦 🫑 🍄‍🟫 🧅 🥕

The basil fried rice was okay, I have had better basil fried rice for sure. The taste was good, but I had higher expectations.

The Thai cold coffee🧋was the highlight of our meal. It was so perfect, that I would have had another glass. Strong coffee with low sugar, just how I like it.

Our experience was very good, and we look forward to visiting this place again.“

“Great food with gluten free options!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Got a takeout order and was really impressed! The mojo ramen broth was extremely flavorful and the chashu pork was tender and delicious. The noodles were also quite good even though I got a delivery and so they couldn't serve the noodles in the broth, I had to add it myself after reheating it. Worth the price and I'd recommend it to anyone nearby, even to be delivered!“

“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 spouse and I have been coming to Yama for over 20 years, and we have always enjoyed meals together, with family and with friends. The meals are well prepared and attractively plated. Service is personable and excellent even when they are busy. [As an observation more than criticism, Asian restaurants in general have had to struggle obtaining and affording top quality rice of all sorts, from Japanese-grown short grain to premium Indian basmati. Unfortunately, it seems Yama is no exception — the rice is good and acceptable, but not exceptional.] Lunch bento boxes and sashimi/sushi specials are excellent and good value.“

“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!“

“Great sushi Great service“

“This was our second visit and both times the food was AMAZING!!! Amy was our waitress and was attentive, friendly and super nice!!! The chef was very busy but still took a moment to check in with us. We travel here from Cape Cod and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“Fabulous lunch here. The presentation was beautiful and the taste-fabulous! I highly recommend it!“

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

“I was blown away by this gem tucked away in an unassuming, no-nonsense storefront on Mass Ave in Arlington. The broth was spectacular, the ingredients fresh and plentiful, and the staff welcoming and accommodating. You'll have to ask for sauces if they're not explicitly on the menu (I'm partial to hoisin sauce), but they will happily comply with your wishes. I feel SO LUCKY this place is right down the street from me!“

“It’s a carry out place no real tables(for waiting) but we ate there deliciously!

We had
Crab Rangoon 4.5
Egg roll not very good 2.5
Fried rice 4.5 stars
Mapao tofu 4.5 stars
General Tso chicken 4.5 stars
Chicken chow kein 4.5
Scallion pancakes 5 stars
Chicken wing 4 stars“

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

“Very nice decor atmosphere...dress casual vibe. Good food ....spring rolls were too chewy inside ...maybe rushed on NYE. Poo poo platter plentifully but food got cold quickly. Shrimp fried rice some of the best I ve had. Prompt service but dotting over us a bit too much ...maybe waiter wanted to turn over table at NYE but I felt rushed at times. Very attentive otherwise.“

“Food were delicious and customer service was a plus. My hubby is very picky when it comes to restaurants food but yesterday he ate all his food and said your place was great just the salmon was a little bit dry. I will suggest a little play of soft music 🎶“

“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“

“Everything fresh, delicious, and artfully presented by the husband and wife team who run the place all by themselves.“

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

“I highly recommend this place“

“Cute place with a good selection expected at a Sushi restaurant. Nice atmosphere, quick and friendly service. Plenty of parking around the restaurant as well

Vegetarian options: Vegan dishes are clearly marked on the menu, and the menu has an okay amount of them to appease the vegans in your party.“

“Good food and great service“

“I've been visiting Krua Thai for a few years now and the taste is consistent and amazing. Run by a family , the food is delicious and the curries have just the right level of spiciness.

Their main business is takeout. It's a small restaurant (seats about 20) in a strip mall. There are only five spaces in front, but plenty of parking in the rear. The service is great and the hostess is amiable and attentive.

You just can't go wrong with this place. If you want thai food and live around Natick there is no better place than this. Period.“
