19 Best Asian Restaurants near Essex

“This is one of the best Chinese food restaurants in the area. The family that owns and runs it are so friendly! I've been going there since I was in my pre-teens, and they still remember me now.

The food is all hand made, and the duck sauce cannot be matched!

You get tons of food for your money.

Go try it today!“

“We had the Goat Vindaloo, Chana Saag, Chicken Coconut curry, and Mango Lassi. Absolutely delicious food, kind service, and easy parking. We can't wait to come back and try even more dishes. We'll probably call ahead and do take out next time. Support Winooski Main street businesses! We want them to stay open during construction!!

“D-best sushi in town and very friendly staff“

“This is the place if you want the very best Pho Vermont has to offer. I've been coming here for almost 15 years and I've never had a bad meal. The food is always fresh and amazing. The staff is excellent and they offer wonderful customer service. Most of the employees have been working there for years (clearly a good sign) and they know how to take care of their customers. Love Pho Hong!!“

“Small, cozy restaurant that serves Asian fusion food. I'm not usually a fan of fusion dishes but Asiana does this really well. The Korean Kimchi Beef Stew was delicious! The place is really small and the biggest table is for 4 people, so it's not recommended for large groups.“

“For my birthday today, I wanted the scallion pancakes from Green Mountain Potstickers and pre-ordered those plus some potstickers. When I went to pick up my order, Carey had surprised me with amazing flowers from June Farm...what??? Not only was the food excellent, that was so sweet, unexpected and way beyond what one would do for a stranger...it is definitely much appreciated! Thank you Carey and as you can see from the photo, the pancakes and half of the dumplings were consumed before I can take a photo. 😜 You made my morning and our tummies were very grateful!“

“I got take out but the environment dining in looked very cute and welcoming. The food was great for takeout and the staff is very nice. We got multiple rolls, wonton soup, sesame noodles, and kung pao chicken. All the dishes were well done!“

“Surprise Party

I wanted to throw a surprise birthday party for my husband and some friends.I called and spoke with the restaurant would it be possible to make arrangements to do so. The worker that I was talking to was very happy to work with me, and we went forward with the party. They were able to provide a intimate space for us, and whenmy husband arrived he was in complete shock!! The service was phenomenal and everything came out so fast!!! We even brought an ice cream cake that they were able to store for us! They also provided a candle, light it with plates and etc. Volcano sushi was delicious and you will definitely see me back again!!! Thank you guys for making my husband‘s birthday so special!“

“Amazing mango lassi and momos. Great customer service!!“

“Delicious, generous, and very nice. make sure to get a lemonade, you won't regret it.“

“A Hidden Gem in Williston – Asian Bistro Delivers on Every Level

From the moment you step inside Asian Bistro in Williston, you’re greeted with a calm, welcoming atmosphere and the comforting aroma of sizzling spices and rich broths. Whether you’re craving sushi, hibachi, Thai curry, or traditional Chinese dishes, this spot has something for every palate—and they do it all well.

The sushi is fresh, beautifully plated, and thoughtfully prepared. Try the Crazy Tuna Roll or the Philadelphia Roll —both packed with flavor and that perfect balance of texture and heat.

Service is consistently kind and attentive, even during peak hours. The staff truly goes above and beyond to make you feel cared for, whether you’re dining in or taking out.

It’s rare to find a place that can juggle so many types of cuisine and still maintain top-tier quality across the board—but Asian Bistro pulls it off with ease.

A go-to for weeknight dinners, special occasions, or even a cozy solo lunch. Highly recommend!“

“Overall great food. Just not sure when they'll open up again. Been closed almost a month now.“

“I go here for banh mi, love the pickled veggies from scratch, and hot peppers added in.“

“For this area of VT, this is one of the better Chinese restaurants. Anywhere else, with a sizable Chinese population, I’d give it a 2.5-3. But that’s VT…. Don’t even think about getting Mexican food in the area—though that may be changing. Wish the same were true for Chinese.

It’s a shame that A Single Pebble’s original owner isn’t still running the place. They (Single Pebble) used to be very good, roughly 25 years ago (especially when they were in Barre).
Not sure why anyone eats there (single pebble) now. The past few times I tried eating there (single pebble), the food was inedible. So much sodium you couldn’t taste the ingredients; and over-sauced, with snotty, tasteless pools of cornstarch-thickened slime (single pebble).“

“Jason gave the best customer experience I’ve had in a very long time. Especially with the extra and special orders I ask for from any Chinese restaurant. When I asked for extra spicy mei fun with extra shrimp, they went above and beyond. This was the best I’ve ever ordered from a Chinese restaurant. It seems like each time gets better and better. I can’t wait for the next order… even though I only order every 3 months or so. 5 stars!!!“

“Food was horrible, 6 empty bins. When we complained they said they were getting ready to close because of weather so they stopped cooking. I asked why we are being charged full price she responded, "You lucky we open" No! you're lucky I paid the bogus bill of 52.00 for lunch for 2. Oh, they now add on 18% gratuity automatically, you have no say about it.“

“Came here for the legendary woman I've heard so much about. I was in the mood for a tongue lashing from an Asian mother, and to my disappointment, she didn't greet me. You see, I have eaten every Asian food in North America and wanted to give her some tips on the nuances of the American palate.

The man on his phone behind the counter eventually acknowledged me, asking what I wanted. When I asked for mom, he said she was busy in the back busy disciplining his brother.

I got pad thai and Kung pao chicken with egg rolls. They were great, but the egg rolls had too much roll.

I asked about the pallets of duck sauce stored in the dining room, but just got a knowing and strange wink.

Would definitely come back.“

“I am a big fan of Chopsticks House II. They have all the classic American Chinese food favorites like sesame chicken and lo mein. They also have authentic tasting May Fun 米粉, julienne potatoes and ribs. I drive from Shelburne to get my Chinese food there. There are 10 Chinese places closer and I go there if that is saying anything.“

“house cocktails highly worthwhile, definitely get the Tonkotsu if you love ramen“
