22 Best Asian Restaurants near University Place

“I have been coming here for years and the food is awesome!“

“Great local Asian food place that has delicious food and yummy bubble tea. The prices are cheaper then many of the surrounding teriyaki places. They have seating, but not tons of them. My family enjoyd all the food and really enjoyed all the bubble tea.“

“I had lunch with my daughter. So yum 😋 thanks“

“First order: I was really excited. The portions felt on par with what I would expect for the cost, and most importantly, the meals seemed fresh. The flavors were really good and packaged well. As someone who hates leftovers, I really enjoyed my first order. I would have given 4/5 stars.

My second order this week, not so much. (Maybe I ordered the wrong things this week). The breakfast portions were small (I was still hungry afterward), and the quality didn’t feel the same as the week before. The scrambled eggs with asparagus turned the eggs slimy and brown—not the most appealing. Dinners during the second week were decent but included fillers, like what appeared to be canned green beans. More roasted broccoli would have felt better, in my opinion.

So it depends on the week, I guess. I already ordered for next week, so we’ll see. I’ll update my review if the quality improves. I would order again for convenience (I’m currently postpartum, so having premade meals is super helpful!), but for this price point, I would expect the quality to stay consistent or improve.“

“I can’t believe I’ve never stopped here before, this place serves some of the best sushi I’ve had in a while. Meals are a very reasonable price, most being around $15 or less. The two servers we had were very sweet, me and my friends will definitely be coming back.“

“Love this place. Great food, huge portions. I’ve been eating here since before it was KOBE. Just ordered my first large order yesterday. Called in 14 meals, they had it ready for me in 20 min as requested. Threw in 14 sodas for free. Not only will I continue to frequent for my personal lunches I will be bringing more of my larger orders for business meetings here!“

“I ate at the Poulsbo location today, this was the first time I have been in. The staff was awesome, very clean, and the Poke bowls were amazing. I think we will go back again soon. my husband said it is his new favorite restaurant!“

“This is the best orange chicken place in Tacoma hands down.

Outdoor not really enticing, but don't be fooled. Inside is clean and cute. A bit dated, but that's part of the charm.

Well portioned servings of orange chicken and general tso. The radish kimchi could use a bit more work, but that's fine.

Service could also be friendlier, but that's not what we came for so overall, this place still deserves a solid 5 stars.“

“Good Cambodian comfort food“

“Bottom line up front: do recommend, and will return.
First time eating here as a family, we were greeted immediately by our waiter Sean, and he pointed us to a table to sit.
He brought us tea and waters, and I was very patient as we looked over the menu, which they have a pretty large menu...
12 pot stickers came with the order, the while family liked their flavor, and I thought they were a good value for the price compared to other places in the area.
We were impressed with the hearty braised beef noodle soup and the orange chicken, highly recommend.
Sean warned us that the Szechuan beef and the Mongolian beef were very similar, and made a good suggestion of another dish, but we assured him we wanted to try both of them. He was right, and I would agree you shouldn't order those two side-by-side. The spicy chicken was a soup, and it was good, but we probably wouldn't order it again.
Atmosphere got knocked down a point because the booths and bathroom is in need of deep cleaning or replacement/remodel.
Everyone in the family is looking forward to a return visit to try some of the other items on the menu.“

“The yellow curry, which I order everywhere I go, was one of the best I've ever had. Unfortunately the potatoes and carrots were raw, even though I asked them specifically to be fully cooked. I will definitely come back again and give them a second chance“

“I always take it to go, food is always so freaking good fries are always fresh never soggy, the wings are magnificent. They place the flats up first and then the drums below you can always pay extra if you want just flats too. They give you some veggies as well with it. 10/10⭐️“

“We order from Yum Yum Teriyaki often and are always satisfied with their food and service. We especially like the house Yakisoba and beef broccoli, but all their food is delicious! The owners are very friendly and work hard to please. We highly recommend this restaurant!“

“The Zen has the best food and great workers! We will be back soon❤️“

“Huge portions of food for great price. Extremely good and fresh tasting food! The food is amazing and VERY consistent. No fat on meat, chicken is moist never dried out, and there's tons to choose from. I was shopping at nearby store with my mom and we decided to try this place for lunch. I haven't gone to any other teriyaki place since!! Best place! And very attentive service too.“

“stopped into big D for a Philly cheese steak it was fire thanks to Cheryl 🔥🔥“

“Love this place great food fast service“

“Our first time trying this restaurant, I drive past it on my way to work. So I finally stopped in.
I was nervous cuz it looked closed & the open sign wasn’t on. It was indeed open thankfully 😂
The customer service was nice, he was very helpful & friendly.
The food came out quickly and hot.

I ordered the Steele st special B all my favorite things in 1 box. It definitely hit all my expectations. I will get this again anytime

My daughter got the bbq pork fried rice, no veggies. She also got enjoyed her food.

On the side we shared an order of egg rolls. Very tasty.

Not one complaint from us today.
Very happy & satisfied with our choice to stop in today.
Thank you ☺“

“Very small spot in the Albertsons parking lot near papa johns, prices were pretty consistent with all the other terriakki places around. They do have lunch specials till 3pm however they are a little more pricey then other spots. They also charge 50cent extra for each to go item ordered. You also cannot upcharge your steamed rice to fried rice on your meal. Meals do come with salad, even the lunch special meals but the dressing there is extremely thick so it impossible to pour over your salad (same consistency of sour cream). But the lady was nice and our food came quick! I would return again being so close to my work and home.“

“I wasn't sure how they were going to be when I first saw them coming to Tacoma Mall after getting bad reviews from other locations. But then as I saw people lining up more, I eventually tried them myself and the 3 times I've eaten there so far, there's been no problem. Food was very good, prices decent.“

“What an absolutely amazing experience at Puyalapabs Cafe inside Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma! My husband and I stopped in for dinner before seeing Jo Koy, and it was the perfect way to start our date night. A very special thank you to Vikki, who took such wonderful care of us! She was incredibly professional, sweet, attentive, and accommodating from start to finish. She made sure our drinks were always filled, checked in on us throughout our meal, and made sure our food came out quickly and perfectly prepared. Her outstanding service truly made us feel welcomed and taken care of. And the food was absolutely AMAZING! This was my cheat-meal night, and it was definitely worth it! Everything was delicious, fresh, and came out fast. We enjoyed every bit of our meal. Thank you, Vikki, Puyalapabs Cafe, and Emerald Queen Casino for helping make our night out together so special before the Jo Koy show. Amazing food, exceptional service, and a wonderful date-night experience. We will absolutely be back! 🥰💚“

“New owners are really nice and food is great.“
