50 Best Asian Restaurants near Rutherford

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

“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 !!“

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

“The ramen here may not be the best in Manhattan, but the prices are very reasonable, especially for Manhattan. The service and atmosphere are both decent as well, making it a good option for a weekday lunch. Overall, it offers great value for the price, which is probably why it gets such high ratings.“

“Definitely one of the best pineapple pork buns I’ve tried. We really enjoyed these, and I’d come back for them again. One tip though: order online if you can. The line can get really long on a busy day, but the online order lets you bypass the regular line, which makes things so much easier.“

“Do yourself a huge favor and order the Taichung cocktail - the taro foam on top is to DIE for creamy and tasty, and the drink itself is so refreshing and pleasant. The drink tokens for the tea-infused liquors are sooo cool and fun, we all got different kinds and shared. Super yummy. Great spot so close to Grand Central, wish I had known about it sooner! Will definitely be back! Don’t sleep on the beef noodle soup, either. The ube tart was the perfect dessert. Wow, great experience and amazing vibes. Treat yourself here 👏👏👏“

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

“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.“

“An interesting Asian/Japanese fusion restaurant. The food was creative and tasted pretty good. I particularly enjoyed the dungeness crab, lots of yellow crab oil/fat and some crab meat over rice. The silken tofu was also interesting, a bit salty though. The grilled sea bream and half sasso chicken were delicious. Hopefully there will be more dishes added to the menu in the future, as the current menu items seemed a bit limited. Service was good and the atomsohere was also elegant, clean and chic.“

“Wonderful experience!!!!!“

“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!“

“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?“

“Beautiful and modern venue. Very friendly
and helpful staff.
Wine & more importantly the glasses were lovely.
We loved the atmosphere and came two nights in a row. They remembered us and were very thankful for our return visit.
Cocktails - unmeasured look amazing and we have watched so much amazing food come out tonight.“

“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.“

“We had a great lunch here! We ordered the Ebi Niku Udon and the Niku Ontama Don, and both were absolutely delicious. We also tried a few appetizers, and they were really good too. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and the atmosphere was cozy. Definitely recommend this place! 🍜“

“I used Trip Advisor to get me here and everything reviewers had said was true. Authentic Sichuan food and, for a person like myself, dining solo, a great appetizer menu. I was happy to take the server’s recommendations and they were right. And for midtown Manhattan it was reasonably priced.

Delicious“

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

“Very good food quality like the taste“

“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.“

“Thoroughly enjoyed my food and my experience. My server was very sweet and friendly. The decor is super cute. I went in a date with my husband by there were many what looked like ladies night and double dates happening! The food was excellent and fresh. Great flavors and spices.“

“Love it ❤️❤️❤️ best place tooo“

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“Stopped in for the first time for a burger and a lobster roll on the 4th of July. Legit some of the best bbq food I’ve ever had! Also highly recommend all of their sides. You can tell the passion that goes into their food by the creativity and presentation!“

“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“

“Hi, I’d like to say that Anna has been by far the best server I’ve ever came across in life. She’s friendly, kind and such an amazing person as whole and makes my Thai iced tea cold beverage amazing.
This place overall is immaculate and an amazing safe eating space. This restaurant will always see me on the weekends for sure!

To anyone reading this- trust me you will not be disappointed! The place, the food, the people and overall the restaurant itself is where you’d either dine in by yourself or bring your friends along and family!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Fun atmosphere and yummy food!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 !“

“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 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.“

“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! 👌👌👌“

“Good Food, worth of money.....“

“Can’t beat the noodle texture and flavor. You can tell they are pulled with kind, loving hands. Get the soup noodles when it’s cold and the dry when it’s hot. Not sure how there’s not a line out the door here“

“I absolutely love Purple Rice! The food here is consistently delicious and always worth it. Even though I live in Midtown Hoboken, I find myself stopping by often just to eat here. Everything I’ve tried has been so satisfying. The staff is also very friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food and great service—you won’t be disappointed!“

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

“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.”“

“Everything we had was spectacular, with incredibly great texture and seasoning. Any of the duck dishes I cant recommend them enough and the truffle rolls were an amazing app. Only complaint would be the price of the drinks being a bit high but other than that I highly recommend this place for a nice dinner outing.“
