50 Best Asian Restaurants near Englewood

“Star Sushi was a really pleasant surprise. From the moment we sat down, the place felt welcoming and comfortable, and the staff had that good mix of being friendly without hovering. The whole experience had a calm, easy pace, which made it enjoyable right from the start.

The sushi itself was excellent. Everything looked fresh and put together with care, and the flavors were well-balanced instead of feeling heavy or overly seasoned. Each bite had that clean, satisfying taste you want from sushi—nothing felt bland, and nothing tasted like it had been sitting around too long. The rolls were solid and filling, with nice textures and a good mix of ingredients.

What also stood out was how smooth the service was. The timing was right, the order came out neatly, and it felt like they actually pay attention to the details. Even though it was busy, it didn’t feel chaotic.

Overall, Star Sushi is a great go-to for anyone craving well-made sushi with a nice atmosphere and genuinely helpful service. It’s the kind of spot you leave thinking, “We should come back here again soon.”“

“Great food. Worth the $$$“

“My favorite sushi place ! Not only do they service the most delicious rolls, they treat you like family ! Awesome cocktails and great atmosphere ! Check out the OMG roll or fiesta !“

“Love this place! Bought my family for the first time and they were amazed at how delicious it was and there is parking! Definitely recommend!“

“This place changed my life. I first moved to the neighborhood in 2022, I was scared, young, nervous, but ready for the big city. Thankfully The Handpulled Noodle was there to give me the vitamins and minerals I needed to work without end for my dear landlord. The Handpulled Noodle was there for me when nobody was. When you’re looking for insanely good noodles to eat, look no further. P.S. try the mango tea.“

“My girlfriend and I came here to celebrate a special occasion. They have a good happy hour and the service was fantastic. They are super friendly and attentive. The fried rice is awesome and the general tso’s chicken was delicious, with portions so big that we took home leftovers. If I could recommend one thing it would be the fried dumplings appetizer, best I’ve ever had in NYC. We will be back soon!“

“Was visiting my godchild and she wanted to eat here. The staff was amazing as was the ramen. Cozy and cool. We went for lunch on a Saturday and we were seated right away. I would definitely go back“

“The restaurant was a bit confusing at first since each of its three floors caters to a different experience. We ended up on the first floor because we wanted food, beer, and cocktails, and the staff said that was the best option.
The service was friendly, and our food arrived surprisingly quickly. As for the food itself, it was good across the board, but nothing really stood out or left a lasting impression. The oyster omelette was begging for a sauce and the arancini that the server recommended wasn’t very good. Something in it tasted weird, we inquired out of curiosity but were given a list of ingredients that didn’t solve the puzzle. However, the sausage brothers and fried platter were pretty tasty. The drinks, on the other hand, were much more memorable. They were creative, well-made, and most of them tasted great.
I'd say this isn't a place I'd go out of my way to visit for the food alone. But if you're looking for unique drinks with a few snacks to share, it's definitely worth checking out.“

“Absolutely delighted that we are there. Food is absolutely delicious the duck was crispy and the amount of food was outstanding, we could not finish everything even when we tried.

Atmosphere was great and waiters are so nice and attentive, you would miss something by leaving nyc and not eat there !“

“Ottimo ristorante di Ramen (giapponese e non quello "tarocco" o fatto con quello istantaneo del supermercato) che offre anche una fantastica selezione di ravioli. Prezzi tutto sommato accettabili per la media della città e acqua gratuita. Posto piccolo, accogliente, staff cordiale e velocissimo. Porzioni corpose quindi ordinate con cautela o non riuscirete a finire tutto.“

“The food is fresh and delicious. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is super-friendly & attentive. Will definitely come back!“

“Ate there yesterday for the first time. What a find! The food is excellent, staff is wonderful, pricing is great. I loved how clean everything was. Enjoy!“

“Came in for a quick bite and ended up really liking it.

I had a beer, pork gyoza, and the dried spicy udon with shrimp. Everything tasted really homemade and fresh, not heavy or greasy like some places.

The gyoza was crispy on the bottom, juicy inside, and the udon had a nice spicy kick with good texture. Super easy, comforting meal with a beer on the side.

Nothing complicated—just good, fresh food that hits the spot.“

“Updated Review: happy to report that I returned to The Pho House and everything was excellent! The service was on point, the pho and accompanying vegetables were delicious and fresh.Service was on point. Bahn mi hit the spot, also came with tons of more fresh veggies. Bumping up my score to strong 4.

Noodles were sadly very overcooked, like breaking under their own weight when I tried to pick them up. I had the “regular pho” with brisket+round steak. The meat was great and a good portion though! Also had some issues/miscommunications ordering through the QR code. Even though you order online, you have to wait for a server to bring your check at the end. Hopefully this is all just “new business” kinks to work out!“

“After a few hours at MoMA, my husband and I stopped into 53 for a cocktail and a break from the summer heat. What we expected to be a quick stop turned into one of our favorite moments of the day.

The cocktails were excellent, but what really made the visit was the bartender. We ended up having a great conversation, exchanging recommendations for speakeasies and cocktail bars around the city. It's those genuine interactions that make a place memorable.

This was actually our second time here—we celebrated my birthday with dinner a few years ago, and I still remember how beautiful the food presentation was and how much we enjoyed the meal. On this visit, we also learned they've opened a speakeasy downstairs with live jazz on select weeknights, which gives us the perfect excuse to come back.

Whether you're looking for a great meal or just a well-crafted cocktail in a beautiful space, 53 is definitely worth a stop.“

“Best mochinuts I’ve had!! Great place, super friendly staff and amazing food and drinks!! I love this place!!“

“After living in the Upper East Side for years, I’m thrilled to finally have a great quality boba place nearby. They have a wide variety of tea and toppings that all taste great and the owners are so nice. I keep coming back and the experience never disappoints. Would highly recommend this place“

“It's pretty nice inside and I like the massive selection that you can choose from. Definitely cool for hanging with friends or a casual date because the vibe is pretty chill. I usually don't have to deal with a wait before being seated and the skewers are great for sharing because they're all bite sized.“

“i work in Harlem and this little gem on 124th is fabulous. the food is delicious, the lunch specials are well priced. I have had many lunches and dinners at this place. love love love it“

“It’s a very Americanised Chinese restaurant (but that’s fine). It’s not as upscale as it looks in the pictures/they make it seem - it’s just a normal restaurant. They had a lot of takeaway orders though it seems.

I ordered the lobster shumai and it was definitely just prawn (shrimp) but they were actually genuinely very good so I won’t complain.

Lo mein was quite a large portion.

Service was very good! I liked my server a lot“

“We were in town from Wisconsin to see Metallica. The day after the concert , we were looking for something good to eat and found Dumpling Dojo. Looking thru the menu , we knew we had to try. AMAZING!! We had one of the best meals we have had in a long time and my husband and I like to eat. We go to a lot of high ends places, but as I said , this place was extraordinary. The staff very friendly and helpful. We had the fried pork belly , tangerine beef , shrimp dumplings, fried shrimp and ramen noodle. And for desert , out of the world raspberry cheese cake wontons with whipped cream and fruit garnish. Nothing was too spicy but so flavorful. Again , you really need to try this place. Thank You !!“

“The food is too good. Try any dish it is good. We love the Tomka soup it is too good. The green curry the yellow curry is too good. The staff and the owner are very polite.“

“My boyfriend, daughter and I’s favorite restaurant. We love the friendly and welcoming service from the sweet woman at the counter I wish I could remember her name because she makes the experience even better. Moving to this new neighborhood and having this gem nearby is really nice we are lucky. The food is 10/10. Out go to is the stir fry, vegetable ramen for my toddler and the passion fruit tea! I love that my daughter looks forward to coming here and saying hi to the friendly lady and getting a little treat as well. Highly recommend :)“

“Asian food, Chinese old school food? Don’t treat yourself bad. Don’t eat the same old food that you eat every day. Try this clean vegan place and you will enjoy yourself as I will always enjoy myself wherever I go. Now they will fix you vegan food. They do not have any beef and pork, but you won’t even miss it. It’s a wonderful place. Thank you so much.“

“Excellent food, lovely owners! Great asset to River Edge!“

“Food is always good we have come here for years. The Whole Fish Filet w. Spicy Chili & Peppercorn in Broth is one of my favorite dishes in the city. Other dishes we always get are cumin lamb and fried tofu both 10/10. And tea of course.“

“Ordered take out. Was looking for a great tasting sesame chicken made with white meat. Saw the reviews online and took a chance because so far the Asian restaurants I’ve been to do not make DELICIOUS sesame chicken. This place did not let me down. The sesame chicken was so delicious! I was so happy! This is, now, my go to place for sesame chicken. I didn’t like the dumplings. They were very doughy and chewy. No good. Next time I’ll order the Gyoza. Maybe that’s not doughy. I’ll try the fried rice too and see how that goes. But for sure I’ll be coming back!“

“My favorite Japanese restaurant. Chef Bing is not only talented but also creative. Food is delicious and wonderfully presented. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

The ambiance is nice and bright, the staff is super high vibrational, and it’s reflected in the food! 🤤 the juices are fresh, the tacos are simply mouthwatering, and the sandwiches will blow your mind. I ate so much and left feeling supercharged haha- pure alchemy ✨🤌🏾 I’m eating here again tomorrow! 😹“

“Love this place! We came here on vacation and made sure to come back before heading home to Florida. My girls absolutely loved the food—one of the few places where I didn’t have to tell them to eat. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Yummy pho!!!
I go visit any pho place all over the country, and this one ranks pretty high for me.
Soup has a deep flavor without relying on added sweetness, just the way I like it.
Service is polite and sweet.
Will come bak!“

“Clean environment selling raw whole fish for decent prices in upper East Harlem, bringing a fish butcher shop close to me in my neighborhood instead of having to go to China town. Love that they also serve affordable Chinese, sushi, and even seafood boil dishes. Very authentic and wholesome location.“

“Amazing noodle soup. I got the green pepper big bowl with fish. Did not expect the bowl to be so huge. Intense numbing spice that you acclimate to throughout the meals I ate the whole thing and got free extra noodles. I was late to meet my friends after due to the itis but it was worth it“

“Love this place. Small but clean. I love the plating they look beautiful. The food is delicious we will definitely coming back with my whole family next time ✨✨✨✨✨“

“Food is always fresh and yummy!!“

“Nice place with variety in menu too healthy & full of taste , I mostly checked in here for luch
They have wide variety of luch options where we can choose from soups , rice and protein of our choice , they have all variety of flavors to calm our taste buds and keep us full

I had tried many luch options out of which my recommendations would be
Spicy basil chicken
Shrimps with hot pepper peanuts
lamb with ginger and scallions
with their egg drop soup and brown rice
Staffs are very friends and welcoming and best part is service here is so quick“

“Very nice place good sushi good food good sevise“

“Chicken was nicely cooked, and atmosphere was fine with wooden tables :)

I ordered sweet & spicy fried chicken k-bap, but I think it wrongly came out as soy sayce chicken.

$4 for commercial banana milk felt expensive - I thought it would at least be served with a cup of glass and ice.

Just a thought here - regarding the composition of k-bap, I think there might be too many “chili pepper” in the dish - spicy chicken+gochujang+kimchi (which I ordered but was probably served wrong) is a lot of mixed spices from different sources.“

“Wa Jeal Chinese Food is one of my favorite local spots! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The orange chicken, fried rice, and chow mein are consistently delicious, and everything is prepared quickly.

The staff is friendly, welcoming, and provides excellent customer service. They always make you feel appreciated, whether you're dining in or picking up an order.

If you're looking for great-tasting Chinese food at a reasonable price with generous portions, I highly recommend Wa Jeal Chinese Food. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“Kua Kai fried noodle is the best 👍😋🤤“

“Food is amazing... there is never a long wait and the food comes out extremely quick“

“무엇보다 직원분들이 너무 친절하셔서 좋았어요 음식 맛도 정말 맛있었구요.“

“Haiku is one of my favorite casual spots in Bronxville. I really enjoyed the kani salad.. it was fresh, light, and flavorful. The shrimp and rice dish was delicious, perfectly cooked, and very satisfying. The sushi is always fresh and consistently good. I also love the relaxed, casual atmosphere. It’s a comfortable place to enjoy a nice meal without feeling rushed. Friendly service and good food keep me coming back. Definitely recommend“

“My recent meal at 家有炖罐 was a great example of how traditional Chinese cooking can be both comforting and deeply rooted in culture and history.

The beef fried rice showed strong basic technique. Fried rice dates back to ancient China as a way to use leftover rice, and doing it well requires high heat and quick cooking. The rice here was light and separate, not clumpy, which suggests it was made with day-old rice and cooked properly over high heat. The beef added a rich, savory flavor, while simple ingredients like soy sauce, garlic, and scallions kept the dish balanced and not overly heavy.

The crab roe soup dumplings were one of the highlights. These dumplings are originally from the Jiangnan region and are known for their delicate wrappers and soup-filled centers. The soup inside is made by mixing meat with a gelatin-rich stock that melts when steamed. The crab roe added a slightly sweet, ocean-like flavor that made the filling taste more complex. Ingredients like ginger and Shaoxing wine are typically used to enhance the flavor and keep it well-balanced.

The standout dish was the black chicken soup with red dates, longan, and lotus seeds. This dish reflects an important idea in Chinese food culture that food can also support health. Black chicken (often called Silkie chicken) is commonly used in nourishing soups. Red dates add natural sweetness and are often believed to help with blood health, longan has a gentle sweetness and is traditionally linked to relaxation, and lotus seeds add a mild, nutty taste and are associated with digestion and sleep. The soup itself was light but full of flavor, likely simmered for hours to bring out the essence of all the ingredients without needing heavy seasoning.

The fried string beans added a nice contrast in texture. They were likely cooked using a dry-frying method, which removes moisture and creates a slightly crispy, wrinkled surface. This method brings out the natural sweetness of the beans. With simple additions like garlic, the dish remained flavorful without overpowering the rest of the meal.

What stood out most was the balance both in flavor and in the idea of food as nourishment. It’s a place that reflects how Chinese cuisine values not just taste, but also tradition and well-being.“
