50 Best Asian Restaurants near Elmhurst

“ten seconds rice noodles in elmhurst is easily a five-star spot. the broth comes boiling hot, and cooking the fresh ingredients at the table is a great experience. the rice noodles have a perfect chewy texture, and the flavor is deep and authentic. definitely the best comfort food in the area“

“Great Shish kebabs for insanely good prices. Most $2, some 2.50-$3.00

Cash only, no cards but she does take Zelle.

Sweet couple, extremely nice.

You're going to want to eat a minimum of 4, but if your hungry easy to eat 8 🤣

Its an outside food cart with limited street seating, but these guys were open at 10pm when it was 27° the other night and they still had a line of people. Absolutely worth every cent.

The lamb was odee slamming, the beef was great. They're all good really, but my fave was the fish balls with the spicy seasoning. Give it a try!“

“This is the cart to go to, after a night out when you’re a little tipsy and hungry. The bbq is affordable, the flavor is so good, and it’s the best Chinese bbq cart in this area. It’s a popular local spot with only two or three guys working, so expect a wait time. They also have plastic chairs in the corner so you can pull off the stack while waiting. If the meat is fatty or not seasoned to your taste the main server is very accommodating. The beef, lamb, enoki mushroom, and lotus root are our go-to order.“

“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.“

“I discovered this restaurant and it's amazing,the food was incredible,and I'm so happy that my fellow countrymen opened this place.It's wonderful to see their hard work and Kyrgyz traditions and our food being celebrated“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“I was here for lunch midweek and it seems like the place is ran by whoever has a moment to step out of the kitchen. Didn’t mind as it adds to the atmosphere.
The food was amazing and I can’t wait to come back with friends to try more dishes. Very happy I stopped by.“

“The food was great and when they accidentally forgot one of our Shumai dumplings, they replaced it with 2, which I thought was really nice. The service is quick and efficient, and I appreciated them checking with us. They were nice about any questions we asked and the atmosphere was really nice and cozy. Definitely recommend.“

“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.“

“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?“

“A truly memorable dining experience thanks to the incredible momos. They were fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Every bite was packed with delicious filling and paired wonderfully with the house sauce. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Highly recommended.“

“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!“

“Updated Review: happy to report that I returned to The Pho House and everything was excellent! The service was on point, the pho and accompanying vegetables were delicious and fresh.Service was on point. Bahn mi hit the spot, also came with tons of more fresh veggies. Bumping up my score to strong 4.

Noodles were sadly very overcooked, like breaking under their own weight when I tried to pick them up. I had the “regular pho” with brisket+round steak. The meat was great and a good portion though! Also had some issues/miscommunications ordering through the QR code. Even though you order online, you have to wait for a server to bring your check at the end. Hopefully this is all just “new business” kinks to work out!“

“Such a great place! The owner is the sweetest lady, the food is absolutely delicious, we got the scallion pancakes, shrimp wonton soup and fried pork dumplings and it all was so good! The atmosphere inside the restaurant is so cozy and nice, feels like a trip back home to your grandma. Just an absolute gem.“

“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 🤎🇧🇹🤎“

“Great service and amazing food! Love the atmosphere!!“

“OMG. I don't feel like I have adequate words to describe just how amazing this place is.
We got 3 of their signature sushis and they were all out of this world - I really feel like I discovered completely new flavours here! This is a heaven for vegans.

Also: the dark chocolate cheesecake is a must try! It's delicious down to the last bite (we literally ordered it twice haha)“

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

“Wonderful staff
Easy to get to location (5 minutes walk from the WTC station)
Great VFM on the happy hour
The food was delicious
We ordered:
Dumplings assorted plate- very colorful and tasty, great for sharing!
Beef sate - well made , great starter
Braized short rib- delicious melt in your mouth meat
Phad thai- very good,not sweet ,well seasoned
Vegi spring rolls - very refreshing and tasty,the peanut sauce is very yummy
Vegi dumplings as main - very nice portion, great comfort food

We came in at happy hour so tasted all the happy hour drinks-personal favorite was Yuzu sour
Definitely recommend for a fun evening out with friends!“

“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!“

“The location, atmosphere, and venue are all very pleasant. Just keep in mind that if you sit outside at night, the music can make it difficult for the servers to hear the call button when you need assistance. Because of that, I’d like to give a special mention to *Brian, who was the only server consistently attentive to my table while everyone else kept walking past me! *Carlos was also incredibly helpful and accommodating. And the Bulgogi nachos are a 10/10 🫨“

“Love it ❤️❤️❤️ best place tooo“

“After living in the Upper East Side for years, I’m thrilled to finally have a great quality boba place nearby. They have a wide variety of tea and toppings that all taste great and the owners are so nice. I keep coming back and the experience never disappoints. Would highly recommend this place“

“It's pretty nice inside and I like the massive selection that you can choose from. Definitely cool for hanging with friends or a casual date because the vibe is pretty chill. I usually don't have to deal with a wait before being seated and the skewers are great for sharing because they're all bite sized.“

“I’ve gotten the braised chicken congee both times I’ve been here - consistently delicious! Good mixture of flavors, easy on the stomach and good for digestion. Def recommend!

The banh mi was ok. i didn’t expect it to blow me out of the water because the name of the restaurant is “Maya Congee” 🙂‍↔️“

“Quick, affordable and tasty dry hot pot. You walk in, grab a bowl and tongs, choose your ingredients and hand it over to the cashier to cook. Price is based on weight, but one bowl around 1.5 lb was enough for the two of us. We opted for the “tiny spicy” level and it was just the right out amount of kick — not too spicy but just enough to get you sniffling. The seasoning the chef put it was great too. Highly recommend“

“Small gem in Sugar Hill. Noodles were tasty and got the perfect mouth feel. Buddha dumplings were great. The shop is small but it does have an outside area as well. Recommend to do the online order so you can pop in and out and not wait because everything is freshly done.“

“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!“

“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“

“It’s a very Americanised Chinese restaurant (but that’s fine). It’s not as upscale as it looks in the pictures/they make it seem - it’s just a normal restaurant. They had a lot of takeaway orders though it seems.

I ordered the lobster shumai and it was definitely just prawn (shrimp) but they were actually genuinely very good so I won’t complain.

Lo mein was quite a large portion.

Service was very good! I liked my server a lot“

“This is probably one of the best restaurants i have too for the quality of taste and flavor specially for price. Highly recommend this spot, the service was really nice, and the food was amazing. This is a place that I would come back to for sure“

“I stopped by for a lunch time special. Miso soup, 2 sushi roles and edamame and a saki. The staff always recognize me, are polite and friendly. The food is always delicious and the other diners are families. Its always a good experience. Thankyou!“

“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 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“Very good food quality like the taste“

“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 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.“

“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“

“Asian food, Chinese old school food? Don’t treat yourself bad. Don’t eat the same old food that you eat every day. Try this clean vegan place and you will enjoy yourself as I will always enjoy myself wherever I go. Now they will fix you vegan food. They do not have any beef and pork, but you won’t even miss it. It’s a wonderful place. Thank you so much.“

“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.“

“My guests and I had a marvelous evening at this beautiful restaurant. Our server-recommended food selections, were delicious, exquisitely prepared and beautifully presented. Our drinks and desserts were equally outstanding. Most importantly, the management team and service staff provided us with impressive and exemplary hospitality and service. For the three of us, our special night at 53 NYC was a wonderful dining experience that we will long appreciate, remember and cherish.“

“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.“
