29 Best Asian Restaurants near Highland Park

“Food is always delicious! We always order the Peking Duck ahead of time. We had the delicious duck, skillet fish, lotus root, shrimp fried rice, and dan dan noodles. Everything was cooked to our liking, not too spicy! BYOB. We had a 6:30 reservation, every table was filled on a Friday night. The duck is better than at Peking Duck NYC. Servers are really nice. Thank you!“

“For those that know me, there has been a legend I’ve spoken of many times. Once upon a time, there was a place which provided me with some of my best culinary memories ever. This legendary place was called Mr. Pi’s Sushi Restaurant in Metuchen, NJ. Almost ten years of amazing experiences I had accumulated there. However, one day this place of legend had eventually relocated and, in the years that followed, I spoke of, and daydreamed of, this legendary place quite often. Then, over a decade later, I accidentally find out that they have relocated back to the area near me. My sheer joy, the smile from ear to ear, the absolute excitement, was so intense it was practically palpable. Speaking of palpable… in their journey before returning to Middlesex County, in Highland Park this time around, they have made their menu even BETTER, which seems almost impossible for a place so legendary, but it’s true. They are the best version of themselves they’ve EVER been! If sushi restaurants have a glow up era, they most definitely are at the summit of it, and will most certainly remain there, as legends do. Welcome to Mr. Pi’s 3.0! Placing a restaurant into legendary status is neither something I do easily, haphazardly nor willy nilly. For, you see, I have quite literally tried sushi all over the world. I’ve had sushi in Europe, the UK, the South Pacific, Australia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and yes, Japan. I’ve had sushi in (almost) every one of the 50 states, except for those states in which I just didn’t feel like risking my health by trying the sushi. Of all these places I’ve been to, all over the world, NOWHERE compares to Mr. Pi’s! They are the truest of diamonds, valuable beyond imagination! In an area of NJ where you can barely walk a block without finding yet another sushi restaurant, Mr. Pi’s OUTSHINES every single one of them, by far! What makes a place so legendary? Their food, first and foremost, is TOP TIER, ALWAYS FRESH, HIGH QUALITY, and BEAUTIFULLY, quite STUNNINGLY, PLATED! Great food alone, although amazing, does not grant legendary status. This next part is where many restaurants sadly fall short these days. SERVICE and HOSPITALITY are an art form that not many have mastered the way owner Jeannette and Sushi Maestro Pi have perfected it. They welcome each and every guest with the warmest of greetings, most genuine of smiles, and truly heartfelt interests in giving their customers a PREMIUM experience. How they are able to remember so many people by name is a talent so challenging it’s practically pure magic in and of itself. After even just a second visit, you will already feel like you are home when you dine here. Our server, Cindy, made sure we always had hot tea in our pot, drinks in our glasses, and our every need anticipated and catered to. She truly excelled in her attention to all the details of our dining experience! The atmosphere is a delight, with so much space that they have multiple dining areas and a banquet room that could easily accommodate 50, possibly even 75, people. They also have (a new territory for Pi’s), a full bar with a variety live music certain nights of the week. In this massive space which was once occupied by a Charlie Brown’s of decent proportions, they have managed to retain all the charm embodied in the sushi restaurants of their prior incarnations. Plenty of space, comfy seating, delightful decor, and a bar as well, make this yet another amazing quality this legend has taken on! Of course, one can not dub a restaurant a legend without discussing the food. In the only three times I’ve been in since discovering it’s reemergence locally, I have been dazzled by the displays of sushi some plated with dazzling miniature ice sculptures, as they’ve floated by my table onwards to their destination where I am sure there were patrons in absolute delight. On the menu you can find many of the usual items found in sushi restaurants, but there is quite a list of items that you will find only at Pi’s. Their special rolls have taken creativity to a new level of transcendence. In additi“

“This place is one of our favorites and we've been coming here for many many years. Great sushi, reasonable price, good service and just 10 mins from where we live.The special rolls are great, but there are times I just simply enjoy their no-frills spicy tuna and salmon rolls on the go!We have also taken out their party trays for family gatherings and such multiple times; all our friends and family love them and they never disppoint!“

“Quickly seated, drink and app order taken. Solid menu of sushi and cooked dishes. Edamame was served nice and hot along with my green tea. Salad was nice and fresh, ginger dressing just right. The sashimi was beautifully plated and tasted great. My glass was never empty and service kind. Absolutely recommend and would return.“

“Brand New Owner ? This place used to be so basic in a good way (my all-time to-go rice noodle) but has transformed wonderfully due to new ownership. Edison finally has not only authentic, but exotic local Rice Noodle ?? If you love rice noodle but sick of eating same old thing, come and try their exciting, adventurous selection of food that will cure any problems in your life ??“

“Have been there so many times with friends, families and my kids. My kids love the traditional Taiwanese noodles, and I love their Japanese rolls. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff add to the overall dining experience, making it our favorite go-to restaurent! Love this place.“

“About service, overall it's great, but please be not that pushy next time since people really need time to go over the menu and figure out what need to order.?

About the food, it's great!?
The Cold Chicken? is generous in amount. The chicken meat is tender and the source is great. I would suggest to have it with soy sauce, otherwise the taste is a little bit blend.

The Hot & Spicy sliced Lamb, the portion is large! ?The taste of the meat is fresh, but not sure why it tastes like beef instead of lamb for me. The flavour is perfect and the usage of onion and celery is great.

About the Dry Noodles With Soy Sause, it's good in flavour and the noodle is chewy, but the prices is a little bit high and not worthy a $15 buck. I guess $10 might be a more reasonable price.

About the environement, it's normally ok, but the light is a little bit uncomfortable, which is too dark for me. Apparently the light color could be lighter and warmer, which can get rid of the depressed feeling that's giving to the people.

It's a great dining experience, the quality of the food shows this bistro is still one of the best Chinese Food restaurant in the regions.

I would argue the price is a little bit high, but overal I would recommend to other people.“

“I went with my friends, and we all loved the food. I ordered the oyakodon, which came with miso soup, and everything was so good. The portion sizes were great, and the food was delicious. Also our server was incredibly kind. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

The quality of service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcomed and taken care of. What made the experience even more special was the personalized touch they added to make my daughter's birthday extra special. I highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion!“

“We stumbled upon this restaurant, We love the dimsum! Absolutely delicious no need to go to chinatown in nyc, the beef fried rice is also really yummy. The servers were very attentive and very nice. Even gave is complimentary dessert. Will definitely come back and eat more than dimsum! Authentic z chinese and dimsum“

“I’ve been eating at this place for a while. It’s pretty good standard Chinese food oh and the sushi is always good. The reason I’m writing this review is because of their delivery driver. An older gentleman came to my door with a smile very friendly. After he handed me the bag he extended his hand for a hand shake and said happy new year. You don't see that type of kindness/friendliness every day. Give panda house a try good people work there“

“I like it .. best place ever I like bakra over here😂😂😂😂😂😂😂“

“absolutely love this place. great food. friendly owner. reasonably priced“

“This place has really good sushi and sashimi. I can't really comment on service since myself and my wife order mostly take out or delivery, but we order from them quite often and we are never dissatisfied. We dined inside only a few times and the service was so so, but it was not like one of those horror stories I read;)“

“First time in 30 plus years, I ordered in Onasadya from Aroma in Warren….it was amazing! The curries tasted exceptional and the payasams were yum yummy! We loved it! Thank you Sheelachechi for making it happen even though my request was completely last minute….thank you Sreekumar and the entire Aroma restaurant team, you guys were awesome. Thank you 🙏🏻“

“Aikou is outstanding, in all regards…from the service, ambiance, presentation and personality. You will not find a better establishment that tops the charts in all categories. The quality of food is outstanding and exquisite, your orders will speak for themselves.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "An Exceptional Venue for Community Events!" We had the pleasure of hosting several matchmaking meet-up events at Dhaba Edison, and it has consistently exceeded our expectations. The restaurant's ambiance creates a welcoming and relaxed environment, making it ideal for fostering connections and building meaningful relationships among attendees. A special mention goes to Raj, the owner, whose professionalism and warm hospitality have made our experience truly remarkable. From the very beginning, when we organized our first event at Dhaba Edison, Raj went out of his way to assist us. Despite a lower-than-expected turnout, he not only accommodated us but also refunded our deposit—a gesture that truly speaks to his commitment to his customers. Additionally, every time we’ve held a matchmaking meetup at Dhaba Edison, Raj has always been there to help with the buffet arrangements, even when we didn’t have a confirmed number of attendees. His support and flexibility have made organizing these events much easier. One of the standout features of Dhaba Edison is its delicious and diverse buffet, which offers a wide variety of freshly prepared dishes. The food is always flavorful, well-prepared, and of excellent quality. Whether you're craving authentic desi flavors or looking for a satisfying meal, Dhaba Edison never disappoints. The buffet is also reasonably priced, making it an affordable yet high-quality dining option for both small and large gatherings. Beyond our own events, Raj has built a reputation as one of the most supportive restaurant owners for small businesses in Central New Jersey. Among all desi restaurants in the area, I would personally rank Dhaba Edison as the best—not just for its exceptional food and service but also because of Raj’s generosity and dedication to helping others. We highly recommend Dhaba Edison for anyone looking to host community events, social gatherings, or simply enjoy an outstanding meal at great value. Ismat Shehzad Ismat Shaadi Services“

“I can honestly say that this has been one of the easiest vendors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Their prices are the lowest yet their work quality and customer service is the best I have experienced. Even with strange requests for custom printing and last minute jobs they are friendly and helpful and really know their craft. I couldn't recommend the crew at Service Apex enough for any printing need. Thanks for helping me, the academy and the ATA Legacy crew look our best!“

“Great place. Good mix of Chinese and other Asian cuisine. Vegetarian options are also available. Good tasting food with sufficient portions.

“Great hibachi dinner experience, dining in is cozy but not crowded on weekday night, great to have conversations for two.Meal certainly filling for dinner, the hibachi shrimp lives up to the "The most flavorful shrimp you'll ever taste" Description.Service was quick and pleasant.“

“The ma-la stir fry is the best I’ve had anywhere in the state. Recommend to come and try Spice24 in particular. I come every other week and have never had a bad experience.“

“I visited on Sunday with my Dad. We were very happy to see they had a lunch buffet option advertised in the window for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. As we were the first people here, Dad took a video of the wonderful display they had laid out for the buffet. The food looked great and tasted just as good. This place is great. I definitely will be coming back.“

“I can't believe it took me this long to review Rasoi Restaurant. This famous restaurant has been a local favorite for over a decade, and for good reason. Perfectly situated on Oak Tree Road, it's a convenient and popular spot, especially when the buffet is on.

The service is always top-notch, and the bar offers a decent selection of drinks. The buffet is a real highlight. The starters, like the samosa chaat, chicken 65, and pakoras, are always a crowd-pleaser, offering a perfect blend of flavors and spice. The main courses, particularly the non-vegetarian options, are consistently delicious. While the biryani is decent, the naan and curries truly shine. The vegetarian dishes are solid, but the non-vegetarian offerings are where Rasoi needs to improve- halal is not in the buffet - but offered form menu.

To round off the meal, the carrot halva and tea are the perfect sweet and comforting finish. Considering the quality and quantity of food, the pricing is quite reasonable. If you're in Central NJ, Rasoi's buffet is a must-try“

“The food is good, but the price is too expensive specially the naan. it is way above the India's five star hotel( Taj)“

“Great service with amazing food. Bianca the waitress is very friendly and super fast“
