12 Best Asian Restaurants near University Heights

“It's like chipotle for Asian cuisine. Very tasty will eat there again if in the area.“

“The food is delicious… that being said, what happened to your miso soup? I went today and it was just a sad, watered-down broth without any tofu or seaweed. It used to be so good!“

“Yi Er Chuan is owned by the same family that runs Szechuan Gourmet (one of our favorite Chinese restaurants of all time) so we were excited to give it a try. The food, however, was actually a bit hit or miss. The tomato hotpot base was jam packed with flavor and umami richness and was hands down one of the best I've ever tasted, the vegetables and shredded beef were fresh, and the portion sizes were great value for the money. On the other hand, the dried tofu and the scallion pancake had a slightly off flavor, as if they were cooked with old oil or stored improperly. Moreover, while the signature malatang soup base was nutty and sufficiently spicy and numbing (especially when ordered at the "extra spicy" level!), it was also lacking in depth of flavor, and was boring to eat after a while. Maybe it would have been improved by a dipping sauce. The restaurant interior was clean but otherwise unremarkable, the waitstaff were exceptionally prompt and friendly, and the online touchpad ordering system was super convenient. Overall, this would be a great restaurant to bring newbies to introduce them to the concept of hotpot (since you don't need to worry about doing your own cooking), and we would come back, but it doesn't take the place of the original Szechaun Gourmet or some of the other "do it all yourself" hotpot restaurants in town.

Vegetarian options: Per the waitstaff, all soup bases are vegetarian. There are also a lot of vegetable and tofu options for hotpot or dry pot or stir fry.

Parking: Some limited parking in front of the store, lots of street parking on adjacent roads a block or two away.“

“I love sushi“

“Brittany was our server& she was AMAZING! She was very knowledgeable and had a great personality and quick wit! She was also patient & gave great suggestions. I hope we get her again. It was a nice end/start to the week (we came in on a Friday early evening), & we were so satisfied that we came back on Sunday and got a “to go” order!
Thanks Brittany! & Sam was also a great help ??“

“AMAZING. Literally the best food I've had all year. The customer service was great. The time from order to receiving was lightning fast. Everything was hot, fresh and made to order. The restaurant was spotless! My favorite was the beef fried rice, huge tender pieces of beef atop the best fried rice in the city. Tons of flavors and finished nicely with the fresh bok choy.“

“I usually come for drinks. They use fresh fruit and ingredients, you can see them crush fruit for certain drinks. Reasonable wait times and the staff is always nice. Every time I've come for food it's been very good too.

Parking: They have their own lot with plenty of spaces but at peak times the lot can get full.“

“Omgggggggg!!! My bowl was absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh and delicious! And the staff has the patience of actual saints. Witnessed them dealing with a difficult customer with kindness and grace, all the while being belittled and talked down too. (And over something as ridiculous as a “kid’s bowl” that they already told her they didn’t offer. Then complains about being charged for the regular bowl that she ORDERED. Then proceeds to share one drink cup with her two kids. And finally leaves and leaves her trash all over the table.) This place is top-notch and we will definitely be back. As for the negative review that the difficult customer was threatening staff with, please don’t mind it. She was being obnoxious. I really don’t know how they kept their composure. I couldn’t have. When in doubt, cuss ‘em out.“

“Definitely need more help in there hope some people apply for a job here“

“Went to Asian Choa first and they tried to charge me almost $20 for something I didn’t order so said forget it and stepped over to Nori. Thank goodness I did. They made my chicken right in front of me and it was exactly what I was craving. Didn’t try to charge me extra and had three people trying to help with the language barrier. Worst part of my experience was realizing I speak one language and they speak two and my slang got in the way of them understanding what I wanted. My ninth grade English teacher would be proud of my use of proper English.“

“Fantastic sushi and great service. I drove 20 minutes to get here because the Mayfield area did not have a good looking sushi place. Young's was an excellent experience and I would gladly travel 30 minutes to get good sushi again given the same options. I got the sashimi platter and it was all fantastic.“
