30 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“

“Got take out here. Eel cucumber roll and California roll were super yummy. They offer combos for two and three rolls at a discounted price which was really awesome. Interior looks nice for dining in, so I definitely plan on coming back again.

Outside area around is walkable and has many tables and benches as well to eat outside, which is what I opted to do after picking up my food. Overall nice sushi spot in a nice area worth checking out.“

“This was our first time trying Ramen so we have nothing else to compare it too. We saw this place had great reviews, and we both love soup so we gave it a try. I had the vegetable ramen and my husband had the beef ramen. We both thought our ramen soups were very good! Next time I’d like to try one of their Thai soups. Our waitress was nice, but she didn’t speak English well so it was hard for her to explain their various soups they had. We would definitely come again. I recommend Ji Bei Chuan in Edison!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We had my mother’s 80th birthday party here and had a wonderful time! The restaurant is nicely decorated: an elegant Chinese theme with a modern touch. The wait staff were very attentive and accommodated to all our needs even when we were doing the decoration. Party food portion is huge. We had so much left over! The owner even came out to greet us and made sure everything is good. The Karaoke room finished the celebration with a high note! Mom was so happy and we’re dancing in the room!“

“Great local Asian spot! Everything was very fresh and flavorful - we sat outside which was a lovely, quiet ambiance. The Peking duck buns were very tender and we loved the yaki udon noodles and general tso’s chicken! Pan fried gyoza were also on point.“

“Today dined at this restaurant for my daughter's birthday and I must say, the food tasted absolutely delicious. 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“

“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!

“We used to come here very often over a decade ago. Read the reviews online and decided to give it a try since it said it’s under new management and things have improved. It is definitely brighter in here and better decorated than before. Fast service, very fresh fish, nice presentation, tasted good. Our server was very attentive.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "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“

“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.“

“This establishment offers an interesting combination of American and Chinese food choices. They have a liquor license and bar seating.

We came seeking Chinese takeout, which exceeded our expectations. They offer combo platters, which would be perfect for lunch. Their egg rolls and fried rice are both excellent rivaling what I remember growing up in Queens. We tried the sesame chicken, which was good, featuring all white meat. Their eggplant in garlic sauce was fantastic, as was the egg foo young.

The restaurant was quite large and very clean. They had adequate seating and can accommodate large parties. The staff was friendly and the service efficient. The takeout was packaged extremely well.

We have found our new local Chinese restaurant and will be returning. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“I’m T is very good restaurant“

“got my fix today!!! yum!“

“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.“

“As an Indian who loves tasty Indian food, I recommend Rasoi II to anyone visiting Oak Tree. Other than À la carte, this restaurant also offers buffet on weekends. Management is awesome, people-friendly, and truly love and respects their customers. Their entire staff is attentive and responsive to your dietary needs. And, they serve in style and go to great lengths to ensure their customers leave happy and full :)“
