25 Best Asian Restaurants near Somerset

“Recently ate at this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the experience!

Food -
It's an eclectic mix of sushi and a pan-Asian menu of some Chinese, Japanese, and Thai dishes. We opted for the AYCE sushi option and our youngun ordered off the menu. The sushi tasted fresh and was well made. We ordered a few non-sushi items as well - the miso soup, scallion pancakes, and General Tso's chicken were good. They have decent chicken nuggets, which helped with our child's selectiveness.

Service -
The restaurant was fairly slow at the time we were there so service was reasonable. The sushi was made quicker than some of the cooked dishes. The server was nice and attentive.

Atmosphere -
It's a fairly no frills environment. It can probably hold 30 diners without an issue should it ever reach capacity. It's clean enough and has a TV, which is rare in Asian restaurants but nice to see (especially during World Cup season!).

Overall, had a lovely time with my family and would frequent it again!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“From the very first plate, everything felt intentional. The presentation wasn’t just pretty, it was poetic…colors placed like they had a purpose, textures layered like a quiet symphony. Then you taste it, and suddenly it all makes sense. Every bite had depth. Not just flavor, but personality. Rich without being heavy, bold without being loud.“

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

“Decent mapo tofu in a sit-down atmosphere, in an area without too many nicer Chinese restraints. I’ve ordered pickup once and dined in once.

I like visiting different Chinese places to try their mapo tofu specifically, which is a savory and usually spicy dish that is like a saucy spicy soft tofu.

The version prepared by Ye’s Asian Bistro had a different taste than most I’ve tried. It’s tough for me to describe it but it’s almost like a darker flavor but not exactly due to the usual bean sauce. Very light level of heat.

I have found this worth the occasional visit when craving something around town.“

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

“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.“

“Good service and good food for a low price. You get what you pay for!“

“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 🙏🏻“

“I came here to sing karaoke with friends, and the prices are reasonable. Rooms are $45, $55, or $65 per hour. Even the smallest room can accommodate six or seven people.
The food selection and prices are also quite affordable. This was my first time here, and the service was excellent. I will definitely come back again.“

“อาหารอร่อยมาก จานใหญ่ บริการดีเยี่ยม“

“Cute place with convenient parking in the back — we had no trouble finding a spot even on a Friday night. The sushi rolls were large and packed with fish. We were pleasantly surprised with free strawberry mochi and two pieces of tempura at the end. Great experience overall!“

“Came here with some friends. Loved the friendly banter with Kimi. Made our time out refreshing and fun. Food was good and fresh. Presentation was lovely as well. Prices are a little high but the quality is worth it. Will definitely be coming back!“

“got my fix today!!! yum!“

“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“

“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“

“We walked into this place last minute on a Friday night to celebrate my birthday since another sushi place had been unable to accommodate gf. We could not have stumbled upon a better experience! Elan at the sushi bar made us a custom omakase tasting all gluten free and so delicious. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and really created a one of a kind meal while making us feel special and taken care of. We ended up with about 15 different courses i believe all fabulous and ended with a special ice cream sushi dessert. Best part was it’s been a bit since we ended and i still feel great, stuffed but i can tell it was celiac safe! We will definitely be back!“

“Went to house of Thai on recommendation from my friend and it didn’t disappoint. Everything from the Thai ice tea to the appetizers while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive were seriously delicious. I had the massamun curry with chicken and licked my plate clean. Dessert was fried bananas, mango sticky rice and a traditional dessert pudding. I definitely recommend you stop in for a visit as everything on the menu looked and tasted great.“

“delicious..great lunch specials!!“

“So I've never been much of a sushi person, but my last trip here with friends changed my mind on that so now I'm locked in sushi mode ! I really like the all you can eat aspect so I can sample a little bit of everything and I really enjoyed my Seafood Udon, mackerel and crab sashimi, Edison rolls and more ! Want to come here soon !“
