50 Best Asian Restaurants near Watertown

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

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

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“What a soup indeed! The broth in the boat noodles is so flavorful and hearty. The spice level of hot is perfect for me who likes a good amount of heat. Prices are very reasonable for the big portion you get with lots of meat and noodles. Haven't eaten in, so I can't rate service and atmosphere, but I will dine in sometime soon.

Only issue is I haven't received tendon in my beef and tendon noodles twice. May be an issue with the ordering method because both times were through Doordash. Is tendon not included for delivery or perhaps a listing mixup? Disappointed because I was looking forward to the beef tendon, but still very tasty.“

“Awesome Dumplings!! Great Service!☺️“

“This food is the best in the world authentic you have to try the popcorn chicken spicy wonton Thai iced tea with Boba. Everything is so amazing grandmother. The best staff are amazing. If you did not try this place, you need to hurry up and go try and I drove one hour away just to get there and I’ll drive it all the time. Thank you guys. I appreciate it. I love your food so much 10/10“

“This place is so unique! A cocktail bar with dim sum is the perfect combo. The drinks are so amazing, highly recommend the “sweep the leg”. The food is just as tasty, fun, and satisfying. I am gluten free and there were so many amazing gluten free options! The lo bak go was phenomenal. The atmosphere makes me feel like a cool city girl ngl. Worth it worth it worth it“

“Dang oh dang 🤩, what a deal what a steal. I have never been so satisfied during my lunch break when I sat down and was presented with an amazing appetizer of crab rangoon which was then followed by drunken noodles 🍝. I love Thai food but man this Thai food was better than usual. The price on the other hand was amazing for the quality it provides. Mae is well located in Cambridge so take your next lunch break here, you won’t be disappointed 😆.“

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

“Beautiful dining room. I ordered take out this evening using the Toast App. I mistakenly added a $500 tip instead of a $5 tip because the order went through too fast. I called and explained what happened. The manager called me right back and assured me that he would fix it before closing out. He was so kind, even though they were busy. The food was excellent and the waitress was so kind in packing one dish separately due to a peanut allergy. We will definitely be frequent flyers here.“

“Great, authentic restaurant with an UNBELIEVABLY large menu selection. Ordered several items from different cuisine and everything is satisfactory. I particularly liked 红油抄手(dumpling in chili pepper oil?), but I'd say give everything a try. Dine-in seating is a bit cramped but tolerable.“

“Great food and service equals great value!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I visited Lucky Tiger over the weekend with friends, and wow — what an experience! The restaurant has only been open for less than two years, but it’s already a gem.

Ambience: The decor is stunning — very modern, warm, and aesthetically pleasing. The vibe is cozy yet stylish, making it a great spot for a casual dinner or celebration.

Service: Our waiter, Carlos, was amazing! He was attentive, constantly checking in to make sure everything was perfect without being overbearing. The overall service was 10/10.

Food: I found this place on TikTok and saw mixed reviews, but I honestly don’t understand why. Everything we ordered was delicious!
• Sweet & Sticky Spareribs: The meat literally fell off the bone — so tender and flavorful.
• Crab Rangoon: More on the creamy, cheesy side, but still so good (especially with the duck sauce).
• Dumplings: Super flavorful filling with a little spicy kick in the sauce. I personally would’ve liked them more fried, but that’s on me for not specifying — still delicious!
• Fried Rice: I ordered double chicken instead of pork sausage, and it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. 10/10.

Drinks: The drinks were just as impressive. Our bartender, Eduardo, was so kind and made amazing cocktails. I had a lemon drop, my friend had a dirty martini, and we also tried the Soju Aperol Spritz, which was refreshing and unique. Eduardo even surprised us with complimentary lemon drop shots for a birthday — served in adorable little glasses!

Overall: Great food, great drinks, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere. It wasn’t cold inside, the music was at the perfect level, and we could actually talk without shouting. We had such a good time and will definitely be back!“

“We loved our food and had a great dining experience beside the windows in front of house. Our staff were helpful but not intrusive and we left happily full and with delicious leftovers to enjoy at home. Thank you nice folks at Fusion Taste!“

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

“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!!“

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

“I recently moved and used to be a couple minutes away from this place and will really miss it. The servings are very generous and the prices are fair. A nice hidden gem if you’re ever on moody st. It’s almost always empty inside but don’t let that fool you!“

“The high ratings may have raised my expectations a bit. The miso soup was quite different from what I’m used to, which may have influenced my overall impression.

That said, the sushi rolls were fresh and tasty, and prices are reasonable. It’s a self-service spot, so just something to keep in mind. Overall, a good place for a quick bite while exploring the city.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“This is my first time visited this restaurant, I got “Crispy Pork Basil” for my dinner and it was delicious. I also got Thai Tea which is my favorite drink since I was in Thailand. Most of Thai restaurants make it very sweet, but it was just the right sweetness for this place. I would definitely go back there for sushi next time!“

“I recently learned about this place through my friends and had a great experience. The food was well prepared especially the Ma Po tofu and the Spicy beef in Sichuan style. They also offer a wide variety of cocktails and beer. The service was excellent and the food came out decently quick. Overall this spot delivers authentic traditional chinese food, excellent service, and a comfortable atmosphere. I recommend this place especially if you enjoy spicy food and sichuan style Chinese food“

“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 !“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“I grew up in Thailand and have spent most of my life living between Australia and the U.S., so finding authentic Thai food can be tough but Sugar and Spice takes me right back to my childhood. I adore every dish I’ve tried but the Hor Mok has a special place in my heart. A true gem! Delicious, meaningful and unforgettable.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“Came in on time but my friends and the bday girl were extremely late. They received me kindly despite being super busy. Made sure I was ok, repeatedly asked me if I wanted something to drink. They had every reason de be annoyed but were able to serve us a refreshing and delicious lemonade, delicious appetizers and food and even sung happy birthday with a candle lit mango sticky rice at the end for our guest of honor. The atmosphere is warm, cozy and quiet , the food is delicious and the staff is super nice. I will definitely go again ! 🫶“

“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.“

“While they aren’t set up for dine in, they go above and beyond for their customers. Let me tell you as it is, one of the best places in the area. We came hungry after a game of tennis and the moment we came in, the owner’s upbeat greeting made us feel so welcomed. Cannot describe how happy we feel during and after the meal. Please support this small business that’s doing everything right.“

“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.“

“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“

“Great sushi Great service“

“We love this place and we usually go there probably once every two or three weeks.

Food is amazing, service it really depends while they trying to keep the atmosphere authentic, part of that is getting a waitress who barely speaks English and sometimes it can be perceived as a little bit impatient.

For us it's just part of the experience.“

“Great food with gluten free options!“

“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.“

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

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

“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 🎶“
