49 Best Asian Restaurants in New York

“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.“

“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.“

“This place changed my life. I first moved to the neighborhood in 2022, I was scared, young, nervous, but ready for the big city. Thankfully The Handpulled Noodle was there to give me the vitamins and minerals I needed to work without end for my dear landlord. The Handpulled Noodle was there for me when nobody was. When you’re looking for insanely good noodles to eat, look no further. P.S. try the mango tea.“

“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 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“

“My girlfriend and I came here to celebrate a special occasion. They have a good happy hour and the service was fantastic. They are super friendly and attentive. The fried rice is awesome and the general tso’s chicken was delicious, with portions so big that we took home leftovers. If I could recommend one thing it would be the fried dumplings appetizer, best I’ve ever had in NYC. We will be back soon!“

“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“

“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.“

“Absolutely delighted that we are there. Food is absolutely delicious the duck was crispy and the amount of food was outstanding, we could not finish everything even when we tried.

Atmosphere was great and waiters are so nice and attentive, you would miss something by leaving nyc and not eat there !“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Wonderful staff

“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“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 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! 👌👌👌“

“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.....“

“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.“

“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“

“Went there with some friends tonight for dinner. Two in our party use electric wheelchairs ♿️ and they treated us all with care and respect! Moved chairs for us and everything. Food was AMAZING!!! Happy hour specials were also great and well priced! Would definitely recommend this place hands down!“

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

“Food was tasty and the waiters gave great service. The place is small so it will be a very intimate setting. The best is veggie dishes. Some places have veggie dishes that isn't fresh and it can be tasted in the tofu, mushrooms, vegetables, and they try to hide it in the sauces. But there's no disguising stale produce.“

“The food was amazing! We had the chicken soup dumplings, the pan fried chicken curried
dumplings, the udon noodles and they all hit the spot!! Felt very home made and tasted so good it was heart warming. The waiter was super kind and we are definitely coming back!“

“Superb place and amazing taste!!“

“Clean environment selling raw whole fish for decent prices in upper East Harlem, bringing a fish butcher shop close to me in my neighborhood instead of having to go to China town. Love that they also serve affordable Chinese, sushi, and even seafood boil dishes. Very authentic and wholesome location.“

“Great food. Authentic. Seems like this is where the locals go, so that means something to me“

“Good food and nice people“
