50 Best Asian Restaurants in New York

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

“Long line because we are all basic tourists 😅 Left line cash only and right line you order on tablet and pay with card. You are welcome! The baked pork bun and pineapple pork buns were delicious. Sweet and salty soft and crunchy simultaneously. Your mouth will be pleasantly confused. Must try!“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“It is not often enough that great atmosphere and ambience pair together with great food, but this place has done just that.

Since their renovations last year the quality of everything from the plates to the whole interior design has improved. Not only that but the food is one of the best in the neighborhood.“

“We have been coming to Land Of Plenty for years. The food is always fresh, with the characteristics dishes of Szechuan cuisine. Service is attentive and efficient, and the owner is kind. My favorites are Dan Dan noodles, soup dumplings and braised fish fillet with peppercorn.“

“Sushi of Gari just delivers. I am glad that we have one in the UES neighborhood. I like the fact that the sushi isn't plain traditional, but also doesn't really go drastically experimental. The care that is put on each piece of the omakase progression is excellent and well thought out. Naturally Omakase in NY is not a cheap endeavor, but it is worth every dime for a special occasion. Also thanks for the surprise gesture for my wife's birthday!!“

“Great lunch spot with delicious food!“

“A classic take on Indian food. We started with the dahi kebabs, not really where the dahi was but it was a ghee roasted and pretty tasty! The saag paneer was AMAZING, one of the best saag paneer I’ve had in a while. The garlic naan was decent, I wish it had more garlic on it and was a little bigger. The paneer makhani was also a standard taste, nothing to write home about.

Service was friendly and ambiance is clean and tables are nicely spaced apart which I appreciate.“

“My Girlfriend and I went to this location for the cinnamon roll that went viral recently. Though looking through the menu, we decided to only get what we came for at the moment. Usually servers roll their eyes and are annoyed when a table skips the dinner and gets the dessert. Our server, the taller gentleman with the beard was super helpful and informative when asked some questions. Kudos to him for staying on top and being mindful of any possible food allergies. We didn’t feel rushed or treated differently for our relatively small order. Speaking of, the Cinnamon Roll lived up to the hype! So good ! We’re looking forward to coming back and having dinner here soon.“

“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.“

“Best LoMein I have ever eaten!! The steamed dumplings with the Chili Oil was out of this world! All the food was delicious and full of dynamic flavors. Service was stellar and the atmosphere was so welcoming. A total must!!!!

Vegetarian options: yummy

Kid-friendliness: very welcoming“

“Found this place by chance after visiting sights in the area, and so glad we did. Had the pork soup dumplings and scallion pancakes -
The pancakes were delicious, crispy, and tender, but the soup dumplings were a revelation to me -
so delicious! Really wish we’d been hungry enough to try more dishes, but we were just having a quick early dinner before going back to our hotel to recharge a bit after a long day on our feet. This really hit the spot in terms of quick, delicious comfort food.

The service was super polite, friendly, and helpful; both servers were attentive and professional, and willing to explain what items were. We were also able charge our cellphones here, as the server kindly helped us find one of the several tables with power outlets next to them.

We were only visiting for a few days, but would definitely go back again and try more - great experience and all for a super reasonable price!“

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

“Nice place to hang out with friends and foods are delicious 😋“

“Went there last weekend because you couldn't get near the original. Spicy chicken platter was perfectly spicy, be sure to get the extra noodles. Also had soup dumplings and pork and veg dumplings which were vey good. Prompt efficient service.“

“Good Food, worth of money.....“

“I tried their samosa chaat and chai, both of which were great. The prices were reasonable (6$ for samosa chaat with single samosa, 8$ for two samosas). Chai was 2$. They also have kashmiri chai. The service was great. Overall, great authentic Pakistani food.“

“This place gets a worse rep than it deserves.

I got the salmon teriyaki fried rice and it was tasty and the salmon was a quality cut. Cant ask for much more for $18 in this area of NYC.

The fried rice has good wok hei flavor. It is on the wet side, which I personally don't mind but I can see it being a turn off for some.

The teriyaki sauce was a little too sweet, appealing to commercial tastes (not that authentic).

Maybe don't go for the seafood fried rice and opt for a dish with a decent cut of protein to get your value for money.“

“Incredible ramen. The soup base (pork) was fragrant , subtle and full bodied. The noodles were perfect and the accompaniments were perfect (we got the egg - totally worth it. Service was efficient and pleasant. Beautiful space.“

“Great BYOB, cash only spot for sushi. No reservations but didn't have any trouble getting a table around 630pm on a week night. Delicious sushi. The truffle sushi was very delicious and light. If you like truffle, it's worth a try. They let us sit there for a nice long time too which I really appreciated.“

“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.“

“Love it ❤️❤️❤️ best place tooo“

“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!!“

“Very good food quality like the taste“

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

“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“

“We recently moved to the area and tried this place for takeout. The Sushi Rolls were excellent so we decided to try them for lunch.

The place is nice, the staff was very nice and everything was great! I will take proper pics on our next visit, but you get the idea, Lol“

“We got the dumplings, spring rolls, edamame, general tsos, & Liu Zhou Luosi Rice Noodle. Best general tsos I’ve ever had in my life and you could tell everything was made fresh. Great quality and atmosphere. You can bring in your own beverages as well :)“

“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!“

“What a surprise on the upper east side! Was able to have a conversation without a big crowd, and had plenty of room at the bar before taking our table. Very welcoming and unassuming staff. The food was Asian inspired and imaginatively presented without sacrificing portion size. Recommend getting several dishes to share and get a taste of everything. Will be back!“

“We were in the city for 3 nights. I made reservations for the second and third nights. Left night one open. I found Saar online, it was less than a block from our hotel so we figured we'd give them a try. So glad we did. Nice place. Great, friendly service (Karim is the man!), and excellent food. I ended up cancelling the reservations I made for night 3 and we went back to Saar. Give them a try if you like Indian food. It was amazing!“

“Had never been before nor heard of before. Popped in for a small but special occasion celebration ( 3 people ). Everything, with the exception of the horrendous coat girls, was really great. The coat/hostess girls are unintelligible phantoms who mumble w scowls. However once we leave there pointless presence we are to the real start : the Sit-down and Dine.
The food was all great and we went in blind. We also had some great drinks overall throughout and a great waiter as well. Our only regret is not really trying any of the steamed fish, but we will likely be back. Note to Owners-86 those hottendous front coat staff“

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

“Good food and nice people“

“This place just taste exactly like the ones in Taiwan. It’s very authentic and reminds me of home. Highly recommend ordering their fried dumplings and soup.
One of the person who works there is super nice and friendly which he also gives us some sampling appetizer.“

“Absolutely amazing Cantonese food! Came here with my husband and my in laws on the first day of CNY and they did not disappoint. I was worried if there’ll be a wait since it’s a busy day in Chinatown but we were seated quickly. Friendly service and the food portion were just right. We finished everything without any leftover, just truly delicious. Order the triple treasure with chili & spicy salt and thank me later 😉“

“Delicious food, generous portions, reasonable prices! We both got combo meals for only $11 and both had enough food for two meals. Service was super quick and the staff were nice and accommodating with substitutions.

Vegetarian options: Veggie options for most dishes, and staff very accommodating about substituting out meat for vegetables in combo meals.“

“I went to eat at salt and pepper yesterday with my friend we ordered one of their new grill with rice which had cheese kebab and chicken kabab with salt and rice it was delicious I recommend it All of you should try

Vegetarian options: nice .....thanks“

“Superb place and amazing taste!!“

“I was hungry at work, and I wanted something healthy and fulfilling. Looked on grubhub and said, "Let me try this place, and it was definitely worth it.The vegetable spring rolls were crunchy, and the barbecue sauce complimented the taste well.I also ordered the salmon porched bowl.The combinations of the white rice pickled radish, and cucumbers hit the spot.This is a dish well worth a come back.I look forward to trying other items.“

“Alright, so picture this: I've gone through another hellish day, classes back to back from 9 am to 8 pm. Tired, I'm walking out of campus when I remember I need to get food for me and my roommate. Outta stuff to make at home, so something outside's gotta do it. Everywhere else is pretty much closed. In a hurry, I see this place and order something. Think to myself, "pretty sure this place closes at 9." Well, turns out, the place closes at 8! Silly me, I just came in, ordered something, and didn't remember the proper closing time. I was pretty tired and a wee stupid.

And yet, despite it all, they make my order. For that, I'm giving these BAMFs all the stars. They could have just kicked me out! But they didn't even mention the closing time until I realized. I apologized a bunch and thanked them after.

Now, I ain't telling y'all to rush to this place past the last minute. That was stupid of me. It's a dumb thing to do to any restaurant. But if this ain't NYC kindness, I dunno what is. Sorry for the trouble, I'll be sure to keep the time in mind next time.“
