50 Best Asian Restaurants near Elmhurst

“I grew up in Elmhurst and getting skewers at this neighborhood staple as a snack was always a treat I looked forward to. Now, I’m happy that we can buy as many skewers as we dare (before we pass the threshold of waking up with a sore throat the next morning).This Chinese BBQ skewer cart is a no-frills, mom and pop food stand on the corner of Whitney Ave & Broadway by the LIRR tracks. Most of their skewers cost between $2-$3; they’re perfect for a late night eats adventure! The seasoning the sweet Chinese couple uses has just the right amount of cumin, heat, and spice. We sat at one of their 3 tables this past Monday evening and saw a steady stream of customers lining up for their grilled skewers. When all 3 tables were full, a 4th table and set of stools was set up as well. The cart is at their spot daily between 5:30pm-1:30am - you’ll find them if you see the smoke!?

“I recently visited Susokino Financial District and tried the Susukino ramen, and it was delicious! The flavors were rich and well-balanced, making it a dish I’d happily order again. I’d definitely recommend it to others who appreciate a satisfying bowl of ramen. The overall price was reasonable, and the iced oolong tea was also fantastic — refreshing and a perfect match for the meal.“

“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.“

“This place is truly a hidden gem in Bensonhurst! ✨ It has that unique Central Asian warm welcoming hospitality. Big thanks to the amazing cooks and waitress for making the experience so special!

The food instantly took me back to my childhood days, especially the freshly fried Baursak - absolutely delicious and nostalgic.

Highly recommend!“

“Great experience from start to finish! The food was fresh and full of flavor, and everything we ordered was cooked perfectly. The staff was welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere was clean and comfortable. You can really tell they care about quality. Definitely coming back again soon!“

“This place is a total hidden gem! The food is absolutely incredible – bursting with flavor and seriously delicious. And the best part? It won't break the bank! The only thing is, don't expect anything fancy. The atmosphere is definitely more on the casual side. But if you're looking for amazing food at a great price, this spot is a must-try!“

“Newly opened Chinese Restaurant along 3rd Ave. Expect Manhattan prices; though serving is plentiful. Get the Lunch Special for the most banging for your buck, Lunch specials available even on weekends. Overall, if you want better food than your hole in the wall Chinese restaurant, this is a nice treat.“

“Wonderful experience!!!!!“

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

“Great Place to eat, very friendly staffs and great tasting food.“

“Great little spot for a mid-week dinner, especially if you like momos. It is tiny with only three tables but I didn’t have any problems. The service was super friendly and the food was excellent! I started with the wai wai sodheko, a dish I’ve not had before and it was so good. Like a crunchy instant noodle salad with lots of spices. And then the chef chili momos - also really good. And everything was really inexpensive. I’ll be back!“

“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.“

“A Hidden Gem Near Pod Hotel

We stumbled upon this cozy spot near our hotel and had an early dinner. The place was quiet at first, perfect for conversation, but it filled up quickly by the time we left.

Service was prompt and friendly. I enjoyed their Platinum Sake, while my boyfriend tried the Japanese IPA—both excellent choices.

For starters, we had pork gyoza, edamame, and uni croquette. Each dish was comforting and satisfying. For mains, I went with the veggie curry rice from their specials—light, flavorful, and perfectly spicy. My boyfriend had udon soup with shrimp and egg, adding a bit of chili oil for an extra kick.

This was one of the best meals we’ve had in NYC, and the prices were incredibly reasonable for such high-quality food. It brought back fond memories of Japan.“

“So delicious food 🥘 🍱 🍲 and the service is kind and friendly, would recommend to everyone 🫶“

“Love it ❤️❤️❤️ best place tooo“

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

“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!!“

“One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. My wife and I shared scallion pancakes, fried pork dumplings, and the Basil Beef Ho Fun. Incredible food all around, and the owner/chef is a wonderfully sweet woman. Oh and the lemonade is fantastic.“

“**5-Star Chinese BBQ Experience!**

The lamb skewers here are incredible—juicy, smoky, and packed with cumin-chili flavor! I also loved the crispy grilled squid and garlic eggplant, which paired perfectly with an ice-cold beer. The service was fast and friendly, and the lively atmosphere made it a perfect spot for a fun group dinner. **Definitely coming back!**“

“Double Malatang is truly an uncut gem in terms of location food and service. I have gone around five times now and really enjoy the food. I love the spice level and it is very appropriate given the levels provided. I had the malatang about 4 times and the dry hot pot once. The beauty in this place is the ability to truly pick what you'd like to eat and cater it to your liking. It is pretty self explanatory : You pick things you like, they cook it and you eat. Tons of asian classics from mungbean to wood ear mushroom to fuzhonesee fish balls and many many more. The drink options include your traditional fare of Sodas alongside some other hidden treats (HK style iced tea) and many more. The service is absolutely amazing. The staff even with a language barrier are very nice and helpful and always offer a smile. I have gone 5 times and have not left disappointed once. If you read this review, let's support small businesses in our towns. Finally, the best part : the food. I really enjoyed the food it was the perfect level of acidity to spice to mouth-numbing sensation. My only advice for anyone eating is to eat with your brain and not your eyes or else you'll overorder. IMO : This place is a solid 5/5. I really recommend you try this. If you're scared or intimidated don't be! the first step to a great meal : is to venture out into something new.

Vegetarian options: Noodles vegetables and tons of tofu choices!“

“Very good food quality like the taste“

“Friendly, really nice stuffs. Food was great, really satisfied with the food and the price, if asking for feedback, I would recommend having even better quality of sushi rice, it will up level the taste. I still give 5 stars to the food considering the overall taste, proportion and the price. Will definitely come back to try other things“

“The noodles are amazing, and every dish is customizable. I love the scallion ginger, but I've had other flavors too. I ALWAYS get the seitan, it is so good! I think they make the seitan in house, there's something unique about the texture.“

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

“Great lunch spot with delicious food!“

“The food is too good. Try any dish it is good. We love the Tomka soup it is too good. The green curry the yellow curry is too good. The staff and the owner are very polite.“

“Great beer selection. Knowledgeable staff that will help you choose something you will enjoy. I had the mango habanero wings and bulgogi nachos. The wings were delicious. The nachos were fine. Nice ambience, with lots of TVs playing different sports. Large outdoor patio. Give them a visit!“

“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 and the service is always excellent here. I love the sushi as well as the noodle dishes. I've had many dinners here with my family as well as with people from my martial arts school. Always a wonderful time. Bonus - the place is very kid friendly and the staff has little toys and balloons they give kids. I've brought my toddler son there twice and he loves it too.“

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

“Not our first time at KYU, and once again it didn’t disappoint. The food and service are always amazing. From the host to the manager, everyone is super welcoming. This time our server Celeste gave us great recommendations and made the night even better. We’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“the congee was delicious and so flavorful! I thought I got a simple braised chicken bowl but even that had so many other small elements in there that further amplified the dish. saw some reviews complaining about the congee being unevenly heated, but I did not experience this.

also such a beautiful little place to dine in-and they have a few shelves dedicated to groceries.

my only suggestion is specify if your lattes have coffee or not, other than that everything was (basically) perfect

would return for breakfast, lunch, or dinner any time of the year :-)“

“i work in Harlem and this little gem on 124th is fabulous. the food is delicious, the lunch specials are well priced. I have had many lunches and dinners at this place. love love love it“

“Love the food was fresh and had lots of vegetarian options my soup was delicious and fresh had plenty of tofu and the veggies where not too cooked which personally I love. Same for my partner's chicken noodles soup
Will come back for sure“

“I ordered take out from here and got a few things to try. I really enjoyed the lemongrass flounder sandwich, the roasted sweet potato steamed buns, and the shrimp maki roll. all were super flavorful and fresh and I really enjoyed the crispiness of the bread. I will definitely come back!“

“The cooking and the customer care both work as they should. The restaurant sits in a convenient district. Their dishes all have good flavor. The menu variety satisfies and employees enhance the experience. This spot deserves your immediate attention.“

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

“4.5 for a takeout order of the classic banh mi. Bread was a great texture, crispy crust with soft inside, nice balance of pate and tender meat with shredded pickled veggies. I just forgot to ask for spicy and I would have enjoyed some jalapeño and hot sauce as well, but that’s on me. Very excited to have this place now since I haven’t had a banh mi this good in western Queens.“

“Was visiting my godchild and she wanted to eat here. The staff was amazing as was the ramen. Cozy and cool. We went for lunch on a Saturday and we were seated right away. I would definitely go back“

“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.“

“very good Ramen....,.....,“

“This place was such a delightful surprise! The staff was so kind, the food was amazing (I got the vegan Raijin Tiger sushi rolls) - next time we come back we’re trying more!! A great chill spot for lunch or dinner and perfect if you’re vegan or vegetarian like me“

“Absolutely delicious.
We had peking duck.
String beans w/ blk bean sauce.
Shrimp with spicy mayo
Fried rice w pork and chicken.

A real surprise on the Upper East Side.

Great service!!!!“

“Weekender is the best spot for home cooked Bhutanese food! Taste and vibe reminds you of home and family, and it is a precious community space in Qns so show them love and spread the word 🤎🇧🇹🤎“

“The staff remembers returning customers without being intrusive. This place serves visibly exceptional cuisine. Their staff maintains respectful approaches. The vibe here improves the experience. I would definitely come back if I am in the area.“

“I realized I’ve never left a review despite ordering from here for YEARS. E-chiban has some of the best sushi in town for quality and price. It’s one of the few places I get delivery from and the quality and portion size is always great. Their prices have gone up, but I do feel with how much they give you it’s worth it (especially the salmon sashimi dinner)! Their delivery driver (Mok?) is always so kind, remembers my name and order, and is great at his job. It’s nice being a regular here. I’ve tried other places nearby and they don’t come close imo.“

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

“Loved the Experience & The food & Drinks were GREAT!!!💖“

“Miss home, so searched up solid taiwanese spot. The pan-fried dumping 鍋貼 ("guo-tie") was exactly how I needed it to be. The popcorn chicken was not as salty as I thought and had a thicker coating than the other ones I have tried in other restaurants. Overall, I was very happy to have visited.

Coming back for the dumplings again.“
