17 Best Asian Restaurants near North St. Paul

“So so good & really fresh! We ordered takeout and it was so good that we had to go in-person the same week for a birthday. The food was so on point and beautifully plated. It tasted high end, but with more decent prices. Polite staff and kid friendly. Spice levels were adjustable. The pad thai noodles were smooth & flavorful. I'm not sure what kind of noodles or sauce they used, but the noodles were never dry, even when we had take out, it was amazingly smooth and perfectly soft. The pad thai & beef laab were my favorites. Everything we had was really good, fresh & packed with flavor.“

“tl;dr: All you can eat delicious hotpot AND Korean BBQ! The best place to have hotpot on this side of the twin cities!

Service and Price: You’re coming here for hotpot and/or korean bbq, so it will be a bit more expensive than normal restaurants. But that is to be expected, as it is literally all you can eat. Every time I’ve visited, the seating has been prompt and the wait staff have been speedy and attentive. Each of our visits have had very friendly and helpful staff as well, which has made our visits so much more enjoyable. You order your hotpot ingredients and they bring it out to the table in separate dishes, as much as you want. Be aware that they do charge extra for gratuitous waste, so don’t go overboard.

Selection: Their food is delicious. Have you ever wanted to try ten different types of meats in one sitting? Well, you can do that here, very easily. Every seat has its own personal pot heater built into the table so everyone at the table gets their own pot. The table shares a communal grill, with the bigger tables getting a grill for every 6-8 people. They offer a generous variety of broths, which are refilled as frequently as you wish. There is a good selection of noodles, and you can also try dozens of different veggies. They also have a sauce and dip bar, where you can get many different types of things to dip, dunk, smother, or cover your foods in. This definitely made for a very interesting and delicious culinary experience.

Location: Located just off I-694 in Maplewood, it is very easy to find and get to, and the parking lot is large and ample.

Interior: The building is a remodeled Pizza Ranch, and is well suited for the new purpose. They keep everything nice and clean, and the decor inside is impressive and cute. They made a conscious effort to make it their own space, and they have done exceptionally well.

Overall: I love it, and I will continue to come back for their great food and service!“

“Best pork belly in the Twin Cities!“

“i love eating here. my favorite buffet“

“I've been going here (well actually began eating at the original location next door) for over 25 years! It is my very favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the world! So sad to see it close! We have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, etc. The family has always been so kind. Mai Village you will be greatly missed!�“

“Have been a long time customer since they were on the east side, now the new menu items are the best in MN. Tried the beef chow fun and double cooked pork, super tasty, love the spicy kick and peppercorn flavor. Will definitely try more again. Good to see you guys back. This new location is much closer to my house.“

“Quick and fast Chinese. Don't take offense if the person taking your order is short and precise. They are running well oiled machine to it's maximum power and cannot deal with the pleasantries. Don't get me wrong they say thank you and they have never been disrespectful to me. They are #1 Chinese spot in WSP. Don't forget the cream cheese wontons and the double cooked pork. 😙🤌“

“This place's foods taste very good!!! I love their boat noodles, Saikrok (may not be on the menu, so u have to tell them u want it), and their other foods! This place may be small, but don't let it doubt u, because this place has the best boat noodle in town compared to other restaurants I've been to. I love it. I am a returning customer always! 🥰♥️“

“Mixed pad Thai is very good thank you“

“Awesome spot for AYCE sushi. Even on their busy days, they are able to catch up and the service is always on point. I've always seen big groups come here and the waiters and waitresses are always on their feet. Their dinner menu provides more selection so I always get that menu, even for lunch as I love sashimi. The interior color they chose is pretty comfortable. The black and gray style is very nice.“

“Won a free cake for Valentine’s Day giveaway. The cake I received was delicious. It was not too overly sweet, it was just perfect. I would order another cake in the future.“

“yummy food and very beautiful and welcoming“

“Amazing Food and great service“

“Yesterday was the first time we went to this magnificent restaurant. But It is definitely not the last time. We had great time with the good service, with the excellent cooking and wine and with the decent charge. We will absolutely return there in a short time.“

“the bartender was nice, on top of everything, treated others with respect on a timely manner, great vibe, and I had order Pho to go, broth was on point“

“Highly recommend the pad Thai, the noodles are juicy with the flat noodles. The tom yum soup is one of the best soups, it’s spicy but full of flavor. The koh pua is phenomenal.

This is my go to place whenever I stop by to Minnesota.“
