50 Best Asian Restaurants near Rutherford

“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 !!“

“My 1st time ordering take out here. The food was on time and delicious .“

“Location was quick walk from our hotel and Susukino is authentic, it took me and my husband back to when we visited Japan this spring. I got the curry udon and my husband got the tonkatsu (pork katsu), both were amazing. We had suntory beer and dessert as well. I would not recommend the matcha cheesecake,my only disappointment, but regardless if I lived here I would be eating here often.“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“We came here to try the iconic pineapple pork bun! It’s pretty good but my partner definitely enjoyed it more than I did. I wish I was in NYC longer to try out everything else on their menu. Everything looked good and reasonably priced.“

“This is the todo spicy Kim chi hot pot & The rice cakes with vegetables and Tofu“

“Delicious. One complaint - the steak was $90 and was small in size and had a good amount of fat and gristle. However, the egg yolk cured in soy sauce it was served with was a great accompaniment.

Other recs
- Verde Margarita and Lychee Highball cocktails
- sweet potato croquettes
- chicory salad (that tahini peanut dressing!!!)
- mushroom mafaldine pasta
- cheesecake“

“Tasty food with superb prices as well as attentive, friendly service. delectable soup dumplings with juicy tender meat wrapped in a chewy doughy wrapper are so appetizing.... I also love the location of the restaurant.“

“Wonderful experience!!!!!“

“I cannot stress how incredible every single aspect of our experience here was. Each bartender and waiter was professional and made our night memorable and fun. The food was exceptional and the ambiance was eclectic, clean, and put together. This is a must visit if you’re in the area.“

“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.“

“The place is great and feels like a dragon ball z lunch with Goku. Me and my son loved the food and the serve was fabulous. Even the food to go when heating it up tasted awesome. I would highly recommend going there.“

“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!“

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

“Great service, food, and thoughtful cocktails. What more can you ask for in FiDi?“

“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.“

“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.“

“The Sunday AYCE dim-sum they offer during summer is great. It includes all dim-sum choices, each and everyone of them is great. Everything is prepared fresh behind an open counter and patrons can see the chef making their creations. Absolutely great!“

“Excellent and authentic Sichuan flavor! We had the dry pot beef and fish filet with pickled vegetable in broth. Both dishes were excellent, the fish was outstanding. There are two options for the fish. The sea bass is live; the other option are from fish that’s already been filleted. We elected for the sea bass which was $6 more. It was well worth it. The chef prepared the fish by taking off the filets. Then he fried the skeleton including the head and tail. That gets added to a broth with bean thread noodles, enoki mushrooms, and house made pickles, which were fresh and tart. Then the filets are added to that with dried and fresh chili and a few lemon slices. Beware of the fresh chili. It will get your attention! The fish dish needs to be mixed so the fish has a chance to absorb the flavors from the pickles, peppers, and broth. The flavor from the fried skeleton also go into the broth with time. This description should have the cognoscenti running to check that dish out. If you’ve never dealt with anything that looks like a whole fish, give this a try. You can ignore the skeleton and stick to the filets. You will not be sorry!“

“Very good food quality like the taste“

“Great food, everything it’s delicious !!!“

“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.“

“I got the tuna and bulgogi kimbap and they were really good, the portions were amazing too definitely enough to satisfy. The owner was super kind and welcoming, she greeted me with a smile and advised me on how to properly eat the kimbap and started up a small chat with me, makes you feel cozy. Highly recommend!“

“Love it ❤️❤️❤️ best place tooo“

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

“I'm writing to share a story about honesty of staff here. I was gonna order hot milk tea from the menu. Then, the staff honestly suggested that I didn't need to order that since they have tea and milk for self service. So, I tried matcha+strawberry instead. It turned out to be good. 50% sweet is really 50%. I like it.“

“I am southeast asian (Cambodian), so I was very pleased to find this hidden gem in Chinatown on Mott St! The food is tasty and full of flavor, and the portion is great! I am very picky with my asian food, so when I say I approve, I approve! Come give it a try!!“

“A great restaurant to entertain a group of people, the atmosphere and service is very good with attentive staff and you can actually carry a conversation without yelling at each other.

The food comes out in a more family style manner where it is recommended to get multiple items to try a bit of everything. The food overall is pretty nice and I would give it a personal 7/10, but I wouldn't say it is a great price ratio. It's a more fusion style restaurant, but the flavors are on point and I would not be disappointed if I we're asked to come back .

My favorites of the night were the roasted cauliflower, Japanese sweet potatoe, Sea Bass, and all the desserts!“

“Dry good food, fast service“

“My wife and I ate in Phoshime 2 days in a row as the food was amazing and the staff were lovely! We met on the second night with our NYC friends who we hadn't seen in nearly 26 years! The female staff member whose name I didn't get,heard us saying it had been nearly 26 years since we were all together and she moved us to a larger table with more privacy! I can't stress enough just how good this restaurant is in terms of the food, staff and atmosphere! If you like Vietnamese food and you're in New York then this is the restaurant to eat at! It doesn't open on a Monday so we couldn't eat here in our last day of our holiday but it will be our first restaurant to eat in on our next trip 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“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 :)“

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

“Portions were generous, easily enough for more than one meal. The box leaned toward fried and saucy fast-casual comfort food. The fried chicken was crunchy, and the noodles were chewy—not soggy or oily. There was also a mix of greens and fresh tomato, which helped balance out the richness.“

“Fun atmosphere and yummy food!!“

“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.“

“Good Food, worth of money.....“

“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.“

“they workers are super sweet!! great costumer service“

“I’ve been ordering Chinese food here over the last year+ with no complaints! Everything has been delicious, fresh and staff is always kind. One time, my order was mixed up and I didn’t realize until I got home, they went above and beyond to make it right which was very much appreciated.

Tonight, I decided I’d give their sushi a try.. well, it’s all gone now but it was delicious !“

“Superb place and amazing taste!!“

“Good food at a decent price. It’s a food cart so service is quick. They allow small modifications like removing a sauce or the salad. Only thing I can complain about is a small bone in the chicken at peak hours and a subpar workflow where if there’s a lot of people they’ll make 3-4 orders before anybody can get their food.“

“stopped here for a drink since it was a bit warm out. the guy at the counter was very friendly and asked how sweet i wanted my lychee jasmine green tea. he even let me try a bit first so he could adjust it if needed. really enjoyed my beverage and thought it was reasonably priced. did not have any food as i was not hungry but the onigiri/musubi on display looked pretty good.“

“I love this place, they have the best food, I come there often I love that place they have the best service and workers ever! However, when I come to eat dinner there around 6 pm or 7 pm, they are already closed, it makes me feel awful and upset because I love their food but they close TOO early which I think should be changed. I also HIGLY recommend to add soy sauce to any rice roll if you are eating one, especially my favorite, Beef rice roll! ❤♥Thank you for your understanding, I really hope you can close at least at 7:30 pm! 👌👌👌“

“I ordered with too good to go, and the food was so yummy! I think my onigiri had fish in it, and it was so delicious. The tea was also very warming & the lady who handed me the food was super sweet. If I’m back in New York I’d love to come and sit down here.“

“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.”“

“There’s nothing better than a bowl of hot, delicious malatang on a busy day, and this place delivers every single time. The soup is comforting and full of deep flavor, not greasy at all. The vegetable and meat options are fresh and diverse, so you never get bored. The service is fast and friendly, even during peak hours, and the restaurant is clean and welcoming. I appreciate the consistent quality—every visit is just as good as the first. If you love malatang, you have to try this spot!“

“Excelente comida muchas gracias!!! Súper rico súper atención súper todo!!!!! Súper recomendable!!!!“

“My favorite Lunch Specials in the area. Lychee Nut never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and comes out fast. Great portions, friendly service, and consistently delicious every time. Easily one of my favorite Chinese spots in Brooklyn. Highly recommend!“

“Some of the best, if not the best, Chinese food I've ever had. SO GOOD! Definitely better than Woo Hop. Skip that line and go here. I've had the duck, lobster, snow pea leaves, sweet and sour pork, black pepper shrimp, house special fried rice. Everything was DELICIOUS! CASH ONLY. Family style. Great for sharing.“
