10 Best Asian Restaurants in Appleton

“Great food, reasonable prices, friendly staff!“

“The pad cashew dish was really good. From the rice to the tofu and mushrooms“

“One of the best meals I have had in a while of this particular type of cuisine. My husband and I absolutely love experiencing all different kinds of food from everywhere. We recently relocated to the Appleton area after living 20 years in Wausau. One of the harder parts of leaving was losing all of the local small business places we frequented because we knew that their food was authentic and delicious. I happened upon Ong’s kitchen, just by exploring the area close to our house. I hadn’t yet had a chance to try it when a friend who lives here highly recommended it. I stopped in for lunch the other day and got the rice vermicelli noodle bowl. Which is a favorite of mine! Minus being to brave for my own level of spice 😝🥵 that I added(not the restaurants fault at all)….. it was a dish that reminded me of one of my favorite places that we had back in our old city. In fact, I am making my Husband get takeout from there today because I’m excited to try what else they offer. I am truly happy that this is one of the very first places that we found and we will be repeat customers. I’m sure you’ll even see my children in there because Pho & egg rolls are some of their favorites!! Thank you for sharing your delicious food with our community! For all of you, wondering if you should stop there, what are you waiting for exactly?!? I think tonight is the perfect night to try it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I LOVE Hmong Express! The food is amazing and the owners are great assets to our community - Ua tsaug!!“

“1st time trying the eggrolls and WOW are they great! Will stop by everytime I make it back to Appleton.“

“The food is really good, and I have tried quite a few dishes. The pepper sauce that is given with the chicken is spicy and delicious, which I wish I had ordered more of as my family also loves it. I'm not sure what they put in the food here as I always have cravings for it, maybe it is just made with ❤️“

“The first time I went here was this year. I just never stopped in! I had the pad Thai which was outstanding and a melon boba tea which was super yummy! Recently I stopped by to get a mango boba and it was great! I'll go back soon! The wait is short and worth it!“

“My host Sienna was very smelly but kind and had very beautiful smile. I found my greeting once I entered through the doors to be acceptable. Upon entry, one is struck by the juxtaposition of understated decor and meticulous attention to spatial harmony. The design is elegant without being austere—earth tones, carved wood panels, delicate silk screens—subtle cues that you are about to dine in a space shaped by reverence for heritage. The lighting is soft and inviting, with an ambient warmth that encourages lingering conversation and mindful eating. The staff are paragons of professionalism: attentive but never intrusive, informed without pretension. They speak with pride about the dishes, offering thoughtful recommendations grounded in both tradition and the chef's seasonal innovations. Let me be clear: the food here is extraordinary. It is a rare alchemy of precision, heart, and deeply rooted cultural technique. It is no exaggeration to say that Dong Po Restaurant is among the finest Chinese restaurants I have ever reviewed—not just in Wisconsin, but in North America. It is the rare establishment that reveres tradition while speaking in a modern culinary voice. Each dish tells a story. Each plate is an offering.

Whether you are a seasoned gastronome or a curious diner, a pilgrimage to Dong Po is not just recommended—it is required.

Five stars. A triumph.“

“The food here is always on point 💯 So happy they added PHO to the menu! That’s always our go-to dish including the crystal shrimp. My kiddos loved it and gave it INFINITY out of 1 😆 they said the food was FANTASTIC! This is also the only place in Appleton closed a little later on a Sunday that has pho on their menu as well. All other pho places are closed by 7pm.“

“We love the eggs rolls.., crispy, loaded with meat and veggies, not greasy. They are superb tasting. They also freeze well snd can be reheated in the oven just like fresh ones. Yum 😋“
