50 Best Asian Restaurants near Bethesda

“I ordered the veggie dumplings and veggie soup with tofu. The dumplings were good. However, I was disappointed that dumpling sign says mix and match and lists the price as $5.95 for 6 and $9.95 for 12, but when I asked for 12 and asked for half steamed and half fried they charged me for 2 orders of 6 instead of one order of 12. The sign is misleading. They said I couldn't mix and match at the $9.95 price because they are cooked differently. I'm aware. But that's also not mixing and matching. That's just ordering 2 orders of dumplings. The soup was good but felt like it needed something extra. The remaining dumpling sauce, soy sauce, and hot chili sauce made it perfect.

Note: The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of the mall next to McDonalds. Parking in the parking garage nearest the mall entrance is best.“

“Back to the scene of Lan’s and my first date!“

“Must have the Mochi fantastic“

“Best Ramen I've ever eaten“

“We have been to TaiPei Tokyo Cafe several times and have enjoyed the meal and the service from Flora and Kylie. They and the way our food was prepared and served always makes the visit enjoyable. I have tried many items on their menu and never disappointed. We will certainly go back. John“

“We had such a great experience. Lizz was our server and she was amazing!!! This was our family’s first time here and we were celebrating our son for earning straight A’s on his report card. They gave him the most delicious donuts and Lizz made really excellent dish recommendations. We will return for sure!!“

“Malaysian restaurants are hard to come by so when we came across the Satay Club on our trip to Washington, we just had to try their chicken satay with peanut sauce, roti canai and char kway teow. We were not disappointed and highly recommend these dishes. Service was good and efficient, the environment was pleasant and comfortable.“

“We made a reservation for Baan Mae, which wasn't necessary but we wanted to ensure we had a table. The food is so complex and fresh. I've never been to any restaurant that compare to this one. The spring rolls were delicious and came with fresh mint, lettuce, rice noodle and peanut sauce to put together. We ordered the catfish with tumeric sauce that was heavenly and complex, and the noodles with brisket. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough and will definitely return the next time we visit. Our waiter was extremely attentive and helpful.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Honoo Ramen Bar! Honoo Ramen Bar is an absolute gem and a must-stop in West Falls Church! From the very first bite to the last, everything was exceptional. The Tako Wasabi was perfectly balanced—fresh, briny, and addictive. The Sake Steamed Clams were rich, aromatic, and bursting with flavor… pure comfort in a bowl. The wagyu and toro sushi were incredibly fresh, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious—clearly top-tier quality. And the shrimp dumplings? Steamed to absolute perfection: tender, flavorful, and expertly made. Do not leave without trying the Green Bliss Roll—it’s a standout and an instant favorite. On top of the amazing food, the service is attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, making the entire experience even better. Honoo Ramen Bar delivers on every level—food, service, and vibe. If you’re anywhere near West Falls Church, this place is an absolute MUST STOP. I’ll be back again and again! 🍜✨“

“I give this place 👍🏽👍🏽 up ☺️“

“Marissa was our waitress and she was wonderful. She's patient and attentive. She explained the food selection process and checked on us multiple times. The food was flavorful and the environment is welcoming and relaxing. Great place to meet up with friends or family. The price is reasonable.“

“Visited over the weekend, service was outstanding! They were so helpful and friendly, guiding us through ordering and making recommendations. The food was too-notch! Bright and refreshing, and with LOTS of flavor! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something fresh and new!“

“Love this hidden gem. Food is great every time.“

“I had a delicious lunch at Eerkin's in Rockville today. My friend and I shared an eggplant salad, an order of manta dumplings stuffed with pumpkin, and an order of fried noodles with chicken. Everything was delicious. The portions were very generous. We enjoyed making our choice from the tea bar--one serving with a complimentary refill was plenty for two people. Service was friendly and attentive. Parking is convenient and free for the first two hours. Looking forward to a return trip!“

“First time and I'll be back 😋“

“DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! Tiny portions and mediocre food for insane prices. Do Not Recommend! We waited 15 minutes to be asked if we needed water. then 10 more until they even brought it. The Thai rice was kinda mushy, the Peanut noodles were so so and the Garlic noodles was such a small portion I thought I was being punked which i tried eating made it half way and didnt finish. Then when the staff asked why were weren't eating the food they didn't even bother to comp or just apologize after we told the manager how we felt. Terrible experience and honestly the worst food I've eaten in DC in the last few months of visiting! I would have rather gone to CAVA.“

“Sitting at the sushi bar and connecting with the chefs (chatting or just observing the art) is by far one of our favorite experiences when we go for sushi. Taku gave us that and so much more! This will be our standout place for sushi forever!! Simply delicious and effortlessly elegant!“

“The food is always excellent“

“fresh, fast, and delicious. I'm visiting from Orlando and have enjoyed trying out the local quisine My meal at Bibibop has been my favorite so far and the staff was super friendly and the restaurant very clean.“

“Solid pho, plus it came out extremely fast and the place seems clean. Would happily try other things there. The worst part was the noodles: not great but ok given that it’s a casual and fast spot; the noodles were almost exclusively short and there were few long ones, perhaps overcooked and they fell apart.“

“Came by Kata recently to check out their new menu and I was blown away !!
Cocktails were amazing 10/10
The Asian tapas were so creative and filling - The beef ribs 10/10 😍

Very happy they revamped their look and vibe - it definitely is something to come check out“

“MohMohLicious is delicious! They have an extensive menu, including lots of vegetarian options, and the portions are substantial—I get two days of leftovers from one entree. The food is fresh, piping hot, and just generally delectable. All in an unassuming little shop on Georgia Ave. The in-restaurant seating is limited (and chilly in the winter), so you might want to consider takeout.“

“$2 Crazy Hour is absolutely insane! They have a great selection of sushi and various appetizers. The sushi is the same high quality as their dinner service ,the fish pieces are huge and incredibly fresh. The alcohol are 50% off, and the selection is massive,they're not stingy like other places that only offer one or two brands. It's a super friendly restaurant, and you absolutely cannot find a better deal in town!“

“When the quality of food of some Pinoy restaurants have faltered or deteriorated through time after a big bang opening or having a change of hands from previous owners, Matthew's Grill has maintained a high quality of sumptuous entrées and desserts having reasonable prices and amiable service a throughout the years even pre covid. It is worth every trip from Virginia to Matthew's Grill. Carry on Raymond and crew!“

“This little hidden hotpot spot off Columbia Pike? Whew… somebody better protect this place before TikTok discovers it and the line wraps around the block.

I came in on a random Thursday night looking for “just a little broth,” and left spiritually healed, emotionally supported, and feeling that heat through my body in the best way possible.

John, the owner, deserves his flowers immediately. Man recommended the Szechuan base like a seasoned hotpot therapist, and as a certified hot-pepper survivor, I can confidently say my taste buds were doing backflips. The spice level didn’t just knock on the door — it moved in, paid rent, and redecorated the place okay!

And honestly? I love the vibe here. It’s not trying too hard to be some ultra-modern, neon-sign “aesthetic” restaurant where the chairs hurt your back and the menu needs subtitles. It’s simple, cozy, and feels real. The kind of spot where ordinary people can sit down, exhale, cook good food, and temporarily forget their problems in a bubbling pot of happiness.

10/10. Came for broth. Left with character development. I’ll absolutely be back.“

“Customer service today, extra next time. General Tso was lightly breaded and very fresh and crispy. The pork soup dumplings where soft and very taste, all around amazing experience.
Also, Got a pork Bahn Mi to-go since the food was so fresh.“

“We have lived here a long time and have yet to find a very good takeout Chinese restaurant in the area. We have had two dinners now with panda bear and I must say they both been outstanding. The food is well presented comes with the proper compliments and is always ready when you get to the restaurant.
We have had a variety of dishes in the two visits And all have been good. We will be making this our first stop for takeout Chinese food going forward“

“Yes, this restaurant is highly recommended for a casual dining experience.“

“This place is a must if you are craving solid, comforting Chinese takeout, this is your go to The food is consistently prepared at the moment, flavorful. Everything arrives hot and well-packaged, which makes takeout easy and stress-free. Service is fast and super friendly. Overall, it’s reliable Chinese takeout that keeps you coming back.“

“This is my favorite halal restaurant in DC. Whenever I visit the area, I have to stop by to pick up my regular order of lo mein and chicken dumplings. Food is delicious and portion size is good. If they opened up a branch around Rockville MD, I'd definitely be a weekly customer.“

“Small and cozy setting food was great. The only issue is limited parking in the area.“

“This place has some of the best customer service I've ever experienced! The last time I ordered, my order was incorrect, so I called the restaurant. May sincerely apologized and told me that the next time I ordered, she would include an extra sushi roll for free.

A couple of weeks later, I placed another order and didn't mention the previous issue at all. When I walked into the restaurant, May recognized me immediately and told me she had already put the complimentary sushi roll in my bag. I was so impressed that she remembered me without any reminder.

Our team has lunch here all the time because the food is great, but the outstanding customer service is what really keeps us coming back. Highly recommend!“

“I recently visited this spot and had an absolutely wonderful experience from the moment I walked through the doors. If you're looking for fantastic Asian cuisine, this place definitely needs to be on your radar.

​First off, the service is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The staff made us feel right at home immediately, and one of my favorite highlights was the complimentary hot tea they provided right as we sat down. It’s such a comforting, traditional touch that really sets a relaxing tone for a great meal.

​As for the menu, the food was simply great. Everything we ordered came out piping hot, beautifully plated, and packed with incredible flavor. You can tell they really care about the quality of their ingredients and the authenticity of their dishes. The meal completely exceeded my expectations.
​One quick heads-up for anyone planning to visit specifically for the market: the attached grocery portion of the business is currently shut down. It didn't negatively impact our dining experience at all, but it’s definitely good to know if you were planning to pick up some ingredients after your meal.

​Overall, between the top-notch food, the stellar and attentive service, and the cozy atmosphere, it was a fantastic visit. I will absolutely be coming back again soon to explore more of the menu. Highly recommend!“

“The food was amazing really good quality. The servers were really nice when we sat at the table and when taking our order. The atmosphere was nice cause they had a bunch of cool decorations. The bathroom was really clean. They had a cool game show on the TV.“

“the food is very good, delicious, and the attention admirable, super fast and friendly. I recommend 100%.it's my favorite restaurant.“

“I went at noon and it was not crowded at all, and it was quiet, a big bonus for me these days. No loud music and people shouting in order to converse over it. The food was very good, very fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant for Asian fusion cuisine and sushi.“

“I hadn’t been here in forever and ended up meeting a friend for a quick lunch. The Singapore Noodles HIT and to get a nice cup of wonton soup for a $1 more? No brainer. Can’t beautiful the price for the quality and the lunch portion was perfect. Certainly adding it into the office lunch rotation!“

“This place is kind of difficult to find as it is in the 3rd level on Union Station. I dined here at 4:30pm on a Tuesday and the place was empty. I had the curry laksa noodle which I had never tried before. I'm not sure if this is how they serve it normally but it had two different kinds of noodles. The soup was a bit salty to my taste but it was filling and overall quite good. I would definitely go again if I have to wait before a train.“

“Good food, friendly servers.“

“Cafe Trung Nguyen truly impressed us with their mouthwatering pork and chicken grilled skewers at our company meeting! The flavors were so irresistible that not a single skewer remained. The owner and staff exhibited exceptional reliability and efficiency in fulfilling our catering needs. I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to savor their authentic cuisine firsthand!“

“Quick service, yummy, one roll was plenty for me! They even brought it over to my table! I got the orange dragon roll, which perfectly combined shrimp tempura, tuna and salmon with spicy mayo! Those are my fave rolls! The place is near the ice rink and not a ton of seating. But overall, I would eat here again!

Edit: I walked around, got hungry and came back for a second roll!“

“Great food awesome staff.

Went there for a birthday party with my girlfriend. We didn't have a reservation we just walked in and told him that we needed eight seats. They hop to it and within moments we sat down and there was a waiter waiting for us to order.

Although the food was good the staff was awesome. At the end the birthday girl even got a free piece of cheesecake and some ice cream.

Would highly recommend!!“

“Had my dinner there. The Asian cuisine is yummy and the prices are reasonable. Friendly , helpful and attentive staffs. Clean n cosy ambience. If you are yearning for Asian cuisine while there, seek out for Banana Leaves Asian Restaurant ! Bon Appetit! 😋😋😋👍👍👍🍻🥂🍷“

“Stumbled into this shop on my way to La Colombe for a coffee break and was pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff and cleanliness of the shop.

Definitely stopping in this week for their grand opening with a friend from Fannie Mae and hope that this becomes a staple in my lunch rotation“

“Today was my first day visiting Wonder North Bethesda and the experience did not disappoint! Jayla patiently walked me through the process of ordering on the kiosk and she explained every detail regarding the different food options. She was kind, professional and transparent. I’m looking foto enjoying this new gem in my neighborhood!“

“Hands down the best shrimp fried rice in area! which IMHO one of two dishes to gauge the quality of any Chinese food place. If you can’t make really good shrimp fried rice how can anyone trust their other dishes, like sesame chicken, or brown sauce on other ones?“

“I just ordered takeout from China Express for the first time and I am happily surprised! I ordered takeout to pick up on their website where I tipped (you also sign a receipt where it gives you another opportunity to tip, so just decide beforehand how you want to). The website said it would take about 30 minutes for my order to be ready, and it was ready in about 40. I ordered the wonton soup, a side of fried ride, and the hunan beef. I do think that I was given the hunan chicken by mistake, but no complaints because it is quite good. The wonton soup is definitely the star of the show— highly recommend!“
