41 Best Asian Restaurants near Burien

“Best Cambodian Restaurant in Seattle. Large traditional menu with non traditional items along with beer, wine, and boba“

“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.“

“Cute, kitschy, casual ambiance. The Lao chicken noodle soup- wow. I’m so picky with noodles of any kind and this was spot on al dente ( I think it’s house made) and the broth was rich and deep without being overtly salty. The bork belly was also great and paired well with the soup.“

“Teriyaki is obviously delicious at this spot, but what sets it apart is the service: I ordered one lunch special but they saw that I was with a friend and they automatically gave me a free extra plate of rice so I could share my huge portion of teriyaki! Truly amazing place that I highly recommend. It’s also close to the light rail so that’s another plus“

“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!!“

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“We had such a wonderful experience! Our server Javier was incredibly bubbly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. He made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived, answered all of our questions, and gave great recommendations. My husband's soup ended up being a little too spicy, and he was so kind to replace it without hesitation. That level of care and excellent customer service truly made our dining experience even better. Such an amazing young man, we really appreciate his kindness and professionalism. We'll definitely be back!“

“In Seattle, the best teriyaki place in the city is usually the one closest to your house. Nikko Teriyaki is no exception. In my 12 years living in West Seattle, this place has never disappointed. Good portions. Tastes great. Fast service. No suprises.

Tip: Ask for a (free) extra salad dressing. One is not enough for the generous amount of salad you get.“

“This mom and pop shop had everything I needed for a quick stop for food and snacks. I wanted a quick bite and stopped here last minute. Easily best place in the area for a bahn mi. The ingredients were really fresh and the bread was the best. They did not skimp out out on the pate or meat like most places do.“

“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.“

“We catered food from Yamada Teriyaki and were blown away. The samosas were perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the House Special Fried Rice was a total hit, generously loaded with tender meat, shrimp, and vegetables, all seasoned to perfection.

Everything arrived fresh, hot, and beautifully packed. The portions were generous, and the quality was outstanding. The service was smooth, friendly, and reliable. For the price and portion sizes, the catering option is absolutely worth it.

One thing I also really like is that Mandalay Deli Mart is right next door, so it is super convenient to grab drinks, snacks, Burmese goodies, or quick deli items all in one stop.

Highly recommend Yamada Teriyaki for catering, authentic flavors, great presentation, and excellent value. We will definitely be back for more.“

“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!“

“Came off a cruise ship vacation & myself lf & my wife wanted to experience Seattle for a short time yesterday bc we had a late night flight home.

As we were exploring we were looking for a place to have lunch & so we happened to walk by Vivienne’s Bistro II. Decided to go in & try the place out. This turned out to be a great choice. We ordered the Lobster Rangoon appetizer, my wife ordered the Broccoli with chicken & I ordered the General Tao’s Chicken. The food & service were extremely good. We highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Asian cuisine.“

“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!!“

“Excellent food, friendly staff“

“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 🌿🍜🍩🍽🥢“

“If I could put one more star on service I would put two because that was the fastest and most enjoyable meal you could have, manager was very nice, gave us on the house appitizer, came to our table and talked to us even. Very enjoyable would go back if I could.“

“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.“

“Food was extremely delicious!“

“I only ordered two servings of the shrimp spring rolls because I was grabbing a quick lunch on my way to work, and they were absolutely delicious! Everything tasted so fresh, the portions were great, and you could tell they were made with care. It was the perfect meal, and I’m so glad I stopped by. If you’re looking for something light, fresh, and flavorful, I definitely recommend checking them out. Let’s support our local businesses—they truly deserve it!“

“Great food and the best service .“

“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.“

“Truly amazing teriyaki and katsu, if a bit expensive. But you can taste the quality. The katsu was well breaded and perfectly fried. The teriyaki had a great char and was dressed in a thin soy sauce heavy sauce, not coated like most Seattle teriyaki. The salad was excellent as well with a sesame dressing. Very traditional Puyallup style! I loved it!“

“I was looking for some good good teriyaki that I could get to on the light rail. This spot hit just right! Quick and easy walk from the Othello light rail station. The air-conditioning felt so nice and the customer service was top tier, I love that they have mix and match options for the combos. They took time to help me understand the menu and all the options. Ive been here many times since that first visit. Everything Ive tried so far has been delicious, my family has been happy with their meals as well. Highly recommend !“

“Best Bahn Mi in town! Super nice staff! Great food!“

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

“Great food and customer service“

“Something special for a particular fan... I enjoy Mongolian beef, but only when fixed extremely spicy. I like this little shop's standard Teriyaki and come regularly; and decided to challenge them to see if they could meet my Spicy requirements. It was a wonderful joy and the best Spicy Mongolian I have had in many years.“

“this restaurant needs more location food is great!“

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

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

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

“Great food, fun atmosphere and good service!“

“Fantastic food at good prices!! Great service! When the machine didn’t like, an employee offered to help, was polite, and even gave me potstickers on the house. Amazing experience. I think the only thing is the employees spirit. A smile can go a long way 🙃“

“Stopped by around 7pm on a Wednesday. Very few customers present so we were seated upon arrival. Water had a chemical taste so we both ordered carbonated water. Simply Thai Fried Rice was very tasty and quite filling so we ended up taking home about half of it in a box. The Larb Salad was very tasty and quite spicy so I wished I would have ordered 2 star hotness instead of 3 stars, but it was delicious. Service was very good.“

“Nikko is one of my go-to lunch spots. Their teriyaki chicken is the best in the valley. The portions are generous, and the sauce has a unique spice in it that I love, not your ordinary bottle variety sauce. Service is fast and always friendly.

In my most recent visit I strayed from the usual to sample their yakisoba noodles. Again, large portions for an exceptional value. It was fresh and hot. I ate it all, but I probably won't order it again, as I found the sauce too sweet. Next time back to the chicken.

Also, the gyoza are worth the splurge!“

“Smallish place, feels family owned. Service prompt. Food not overly oily with good flavor balance. They have vegetarian options but unfortunately some sauces like the pad thai sauce, is pretty made and contains fish sauce. So may be less veggie options than you would expect at most Thai restaurants.“

“You know it’s good when you don’t have a microwave but you eat your leftovers for breakfast & they are almost better than when it’s fresh n’ hot. Chicken stays crispy too—which is a testament that they know how to do fried chicken. I ordered the General Tso Chicken. I would eat here again & again. Oh, & although they are in this old hotel don’t let that fool you! Next time I’ll try the chef’s recommendation (beef pho). Sorry no pic!“

“The food is always great!“

“Great spot but would no longer recommend due to poor takeout service (hosted by Smile which is likely to blame). If you're dining in, ignore this review. We placed an order this evening and the email said pick-up would be ready immediately (stated the same time the order was was a bit of a red flag, but no one wants cold food) so I rushed over. Follow-up email and text said 50 mins but those were received after I was on the road. I've now been watching folks eat for 30 mins, waiting.....“
