50 Best Asian Restaurants near Waltham

“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 😜“

“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.“

“Came early on a Monday, shortly after opening. Greeted promptly, sat immediately, food came out within minutes. Coffee was good, shumai were great, and really enjoyed the broth in the soup. Looking forward to trying some other things in the future!“

“Darling was exceptional this evening! Everything we ordered was amazing. Our server, Sailor was kind, attentive and had great suggestions. The Owner, Chen, was so great to stop by our table. We really enjoyed chatting with him. Just an awesome restaurant from start to finish. Great people, great atmosphere, great food. We will be back!“

“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...“

“I ordered take out and the food was fresh and delicious! My first time trying sticky mango and I absolutely loved it!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I got the Bulgogi Shaved Steak on a rice bun... very yummy and hit the spot! 😋“

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Our favorite Thai restaurant/takeout ever. We’ve been coming here for years. Everything they have is excellent. Our favorite staples are the Crispy Chicken Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, Satay (we always add a few more random things).They are always super nice!“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Great sushi Great service“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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 🎶“

“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!!“

“Rice was great, a bit bland but plenty of shrimp, veggies, pork, chicken etc.
The general tsaos chicken though????? Among the best I’ve ever had.. not just soggy breaded chicken. Crispy, juicy pieces of chicken in a yummy sauce served with plenty of broccoli. I wish I’d gotten pictures.
Delivery was slow, took over an hour to get to me despite being a 7-8 minute drive, however my food arrived fresh and hot.“

“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! 👍“

“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.“

“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.“

“On our Wednesday Night Culinary 🧑‍🍳 Travels we ended up in Roslindale Village at The Village Sushi & Grill🥢. We sat outside on the Patio and were Greeted by our Waitress who was Welcoming and Helpful with Menu choices. She took our Drink and Appetizer orders for the 😋Tempura Starter, 😋Chicken on Skewer, 😋Don Shumai (deep fried), 😋Scallion Pancake, Sushi Starter, 😋Miso Soup,😋 Unagi (Eel) Sushi and an Entree of Bui-Go-Ki 😋. Everything was 😋 Delicious and Tasty. 😋 The Drinks were Ice Cold 🍷🍻. The Service was Excellent 👍.
Highly Recommend Village Sushi & Grill . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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.“

“Food was delicious! Loved everything I tried!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The food at Oye Restaurant Bar & Grill was good for the most part, but could gave been more flavorful. We did enjoy the GF calamari and the sushi boat. The service was friendly and welcoming.
The only downside was the ambience. The lighting was much too dim for our liking, making the space feel a bit too gloomy, and the restaurant was quite empty when we visited, which affected the overall atmosphere. With brighter lighting and a livelier vibe, the dining experience would be even better.

We did appreciate that they have a separate gluten-free menu!“
