42 Best Asian Restaurants near Burien

“This spot feels less like a restaurant and more like a community hub. Homey & welcoming.

Coming from the restaurant background, I grew to love food places that have no gimmicks and are true to their standard - Pho Liu is on top of that short list in Seattle.

I go here 3 times a week & they serve consistently high quality pho. The small bowl (pictured) is more than enough & leaves room to try their delicious apps. Fish-sauced wings, spring rolls, egg rolls are all phenomenal.

One way to tell they take care of their craft is how long the noodles can sit in the broth without releasing any starch. Fresh noodles, perfectly cooked, and well strained. Also their bean sprouts and herbs are extremely fresh. Never once have I had soggy or bitter bean sprouts here - which is more common at pho places than you’d think.

The owner family & servers here are great & kind people, as well. The subtle cues are how many regulars I’ve seen on random visits and how well the fish (in the fish tank) are taken care of.

This neighborhood place is truly one of the last pre-tech boom Seattle relics.“

“Walked by the night before and didn't have time to pop in after work, but took note of the cool looking new spot in GTown. Checked out the menu and my mind (and belly) wouldn't allow me to go another day without experiencing the enoki fritters, so a late lunch ensued with fritters and street corn today. Ridiculously tasty, will be back with friends and family to try the rest of the menu and I'm sure you'll be serving my coworkers (repeatedly) as well. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Underrated Teriyaki and Korean food restaurant with easy take out. Best teriyaki on Rainier and perhaps in town. The only fault that it is closed on Sundays. Quite delicious food options. This is the place you want to go for a delicious meal.“

“This place is amazing. We just moved to the neighborhood and got to try it for the first time and I’m already looking forward to going back. We got the Nam Khao and beef skewer plate and both were so delicious. Sticky rice was perfect and the Lao sauce was so good and spicy, like a sambal. The Nam Khao was crispy and I loved the fermented pork! It was my first time trying that dish and I wasn’t disappointed.

Our server was very nice and had a great sense of humor. He whipped us up some delicious cocktails as well!

I highly recommend Sap Sap and I’m already looking forward to going back and trying other dishes.“

“Our first visit was yesterday for lunch and we had Chicken Xiao Long Bao, Chicken pan-fried potstickers, Chicken and Vegetable Won-tons in sweet and sour sauce and Spicy (Ma la) noodles.....all were very good! The service was excellent and we enjoyed the whole experience!!“

“BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. You get delicious authentic hot pot plus a side of KBBQ. We chose the all-you-can-eat for about $30 a person.

The meat was fresh and they had incredible quality cuts. All you can eat hot pot, bbq, plus sauce, drinks, and ice cream.

Service was also great - they checked on us often and keep the restaurant very clean.“

“Best locally owned and family owned Teriyaki in West Seattle by far. Super friendly staff, decent pricing, and fast service. Almost anyone who I've talked to that lives nearby has been here and mentioned how good the food is. The spot is small so I recommend to call ahead for takeout or takeout generally when you arrive.

“Customer Service, a great selection of food, the casual layback atmostphere, enjoy the food, don’t rush. Have a good wine selection so step outside of the box and try a wine you never had before, the waiter can suggest. The prices are good, but remember the serving are large, you will not leave empty. This is a must place to go, you will enjoy it, and will come back.“

“It was definitely an experience since you get to eat both HOTPOT&KBBQ! You really do get the best of both world!
Service was amazing, especially Shelly , super kind and knowledgeable and walked us through the whole menu. definitely will be back again !“

“I’m staying at the hotel just across the street, and I couldn’t resist stopping by this gem! Let me tell you, it was an absolute thrill! I ordered the Chicken & Katsu along with a side of egg rolls, and wow, did it blow me away!

The chicken was cooked to absolute perfection! Instead of drowning in teriyaki sauce, it had this fantastic coating that gave it an incredible sweet teriyaki flavor while keeping it moist and packed with that delicious wok taste.

And the katsu? Oh my goodness! It was breaded to perfection, delivering that legendary Katsu crunch in every single bite! The in-house-made Katsu sauce added just the right touch of sweetness, making it an unbeatable combination.

As for the egg rolls, they were pure bliss! Crispy, crunchy, and bursting with flavor, they absolutely hit the spot!

I can’t recommend this place enough! You have to check it out!“

“I’ve lived on Alki since 1989. I’ve seen many restaurants come and go from this location. Lotus on the Beach is the best of them all. The ability to pick from a variety of Vietnamese and Thai dishes is its strength. The owner and staff welcome any and all critiques of the food and service.“

“My first time in and really didn’t have many expectations but was blown away by the friendly staff. Ordered papaya salad w/ tofu. Tofu came fried to perfection in my book. Requested some fish sauce, the server asked if I would prefer fish dressing, big smile on my face :). Ordered a (banh-mi) sandwich w/ tofu, tofu was a little soft for my liking but had great flavor and a overly fair amount of ingredients, two thumbs up 👍. I received a side of fish dressing I used some chilly paste in it, the other server asked if I would like to have the chilly oil… ohh man was I happy with that suggestion!! Loved it!! Would recommend for an authentic flavor and palates. Will return and try more. Super excited to have a very good pho place here at the beach!! Thanks for doing what y’all doing there!!“

“On god this is the best vietnamese food in south Seattle, they make the most delicious vietnamese sandwiches and other food I don't even write reviews but they're sandwiches eggrolls, spring rolls and desserts are fire I would eat it everyday if I could haha“

“My son and I love pho, and on day after his dental appointment next door, we wondered over here and discovered this place.
My first impression is that this place has an inviting, home-like feeling. They bake some pastries/donuts fresh themselves.
The pho was a hit for my son, and we thanked the lady who said it was her very own (or family?) recipe? That was our first visit, so I can't quite remember exactly 😅
I tried their breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. Just the right amount, too.
I'm all about customer service and genuine people. And I can tell these guys have a passion for what they do.
We are always here when we come to this area 🌿🍜🍩🍽🥢“

“Asian Table in Kent is a tasty find! The sushi roll was fresh, with perfect rice and zesty flavors. Teriyaki chicken was juicy, charred just right. Staff’s friendly, making you feel at home. Quirky paper lanterns give it a cozy glow. Only gripe? Portions could be bigger. A solid spot for sushi and Asian bites!“

“Very very delicious and amazing!! Will be coming back for sure. The moment I walked in I was taken away by the delicious smell of the food and when our food came they were top notch and exceeded our expectations! They are also 100% halal so that was another thing which we loved! Definitely worth trying definitely worth it!“

“Love this place- great teriyaki, fruit, veggie tempura, california rolls, and other options. Friendly owners and great prices, especially for being in Columbia Tower. Hot tip- go between 2:10pm and when they close at 2:50pm for a 20% discount.“

“I recently dined at Anchovies and Salt, and I must say, it was an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, showcasing the best of Vietnamese cuisine with a unique twist. Each dish was flavorful and beautifully presented, making it hard to choose a favorite. The environment of the restaurant was inviting and cozy, with a vibrant atmosphere that made for a perfect dining experience. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. If you're in Seattle and craving some incredible Vietnamese food, I highly recommend checking out Anchovies and Salt. You won't be disappointed!“

“I was craving pho, and stopped in here after running an errand. It was AWESOME!! I was so happy. I ordered the veggie and tofu pho with beef broth to go, and I couldn't be happier. I will be going back, and soon! The prices were reasonable, and the broth was excellent! I highly recommend ;)“

“Great food and customer service“

“this restaurant needs more location food is great!“

“Great food and even better service. I feel so lucky to live so close! They recently started serving Bento boxes and you get so much food for such a great price! They have a wide drink selection, something for everyone. The space itsself is very cozy but unfortunately I don't often see people dining in, as I think most people get take out.“

“The food here was delicious! The place gets pretty busy with takeout orders only a couple of tables were occupied, but most customers were ordering to go. The chicken was very tender and flavorful, and the portions were generous. I also tried the bubble tea, and it was really good! Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving some tasty teriyaki!“

“Food good service ok. music sucks. The loud obnoxious music swearing and carrying on about sex didn't seem to bother the two other customers in there. Not sure you would want to bring small kids inside. Food was actually good. The service was not the friendliest but ok for a Saturday night last night.“

“Great food and great service! The place was clean, the prices were reasonable, and there were many options to choose from. I loved the orange chicken and beef fried rice. The egg rolls, fried chicken, and short rib teriyaki were also really good. Would definitely come back!“

“Great food, fun atmosphere and good service!“

“We had Four seperate entrees, all which were amazing. Pork Vindaloo Dungeness Crab Curry Goat Curry Roasted Lamb you can not go wrong with any of these choices!“

“So good! Food was served quickly & SO delicious. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Quick to clear our table of empty dishes. Highly recommend! We will be back very soon!“

“Good place to eat, clean, and great looking menu“

“❤️❤️❤️ best sandwich best price!!“

“Absolutely love everything we ordered. (Crispy Garlic Chicken, Pad Thai, Panang Curry). 10/10. Would definitely go back.“

“Pleasantly surprised by the teriyaki chicken. The food was delicious in a generous amount.

Ate in the restaurant and the food was brought out to me. Aside from a dark interior (it was already a gloomy day), the food was enjoyable.“

“Great food and the best service .“

“Delicious sushi!! Modern, bright and clean. We will definitely be back!!“

“I was hungry and I know their food is good so I came back.

I wanted to try something new so I got the combination noodle soup that had pork slices, chicken, shrimp, liver with egg noodles, veggies and broth.

The egg noodle is perfect, the broth was decent, the chicken and shrimp was ok, the garlic was good, the pork slices were good and there was little pieces of fried pork belly which was really good but I don’t think liver should be in there. I guess it tastes like how liver should but yea lol.

It was ok overall, I should have just gotten what I got last time which was the braised beef egg noodle, that was really good. I guess next time!“

“Good food and good staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Will be back!“

“First time to this area, drove by and decided to stop. Not bad! The sauce was “brothy” and tasted light and flavorful. I got spice level 4 but it wasn’t spicy at all. They did bring extra spices to the table. I was here for lunch and thought rice came with it. It did not, it was additional. No biggie, just wanted to mention as I’ve been to Thai places for lunch where you get the rice included. Service was great.“

“I’ve been here a few times and the food has always been great. This time, however, the service was slow. I asked the waitress for an extra plate so I could share the papaya salad with my mom and her friend, but it took a long time for the plates to arrive. We eventually decided not to wait and ate the papaya salad with the rest of our food, which ended up being messy because of the fish sauce.

Aside from that, the food was still very good. For those who don’t like raw vegetables, I wouldn’t recommend the papaya salad, as it can be hard on the stomach—especially if you’ve recently had gallbladder surgery. I mention this because I didn’t realize my mom’s friend couldn’t eat raw food, so sticking to soup is a better option. Their soup is very good, and we really enjoyed it.“

“Food was authentically delicious! gentlemen n staff where friendly courteous n sufficient!! I flew in frm Milwaukee WI. I love Asian food was best house rice n chicken wings ive had most definitely recommend n will b back in June ill b returning here most definitely!“

“The food is always great!“

“My second time here in recent past, and both times I was happy with my food but a little sad to see when I walked it it was otherwise empty. I see a lot of negative reviews in the past for here, and I don't get it. Other than I think people's expectations for instant gratification may be a big influence. Came here with my parents as walk-ins on a Wednesday. Place was empty. Another group of 6 came in with a reservation after us. They definitely do a decent amount of takeout business, but I hope people support this place! It's a no-nonsense mom & pop little restaurant with good Thai food. I had the Chiang Mai Noodles which is in a yellow curry like a soup. Beautiful presentation (see picture), I ordered 4 star spiciness and received the perfect bit of burn and runny nose, extremely flavorful, noodles were perfect, crispy noodles on top for some crunch. It was a generous serving but I just devoured it until the bowl was empty. My mom had pad Thai, my dad the red curry, both were happy. Also got the crab crispy dumpling appetizer and fresh rolls to start and they were fresh and great! This is great Thai food serving a local community. If you want Michelin star service, go pay $500 per person somewhere downtown Seattle or whatever. My food was tasty. My water was refilled. Food came out at a normal speed because they weren't busy, and the group of 6 that ordered after us also got their food soon after and they all seemed pleased. They asked to make sure there were no peanuts in one person's dish due to allergy and that they used Canola oil and not peanut oil, both of which the server confirmed. Support small businesses and restaurants, it's tough out there for these little places!“
