The Most Scrumptious Asian Fusion in Lexington

Asiana Thai and Sushi of Hyde Park

★★★★★ 4.6 (660) • $$

"The three of us lived in Hyde Park or Pleasant Ridge for decades, driving often by Asiana and never stopping. Last night, that changed, and we will all be stopping again, frequently! The sushi is fresh and world class and the housemade rice noodles are as good as Greg, the owner with his wife, promised. Even though they were busy, they were happy to prepare this vegetarian's Massamun curry without fish sauce. Everything we ordered was delectable and we loved that Greg took time to stop at our table, tell their story and offer recommendations from their sizable, well-priced Thai and sushi menu. The dining room is small, but the tables turned pretty quickly and they clearly do a big carry out business. One thing to note: it's BYOB, although our server cheerfully provided glasses and an opener. Wine Merchant is at the end of the block with a great selection, including a dry riesling that paired well with our meal."

Dragon King's Daughter

★★★★☆ 4 (679) • $$

"During my last visit to Dragon King's Daughter I ordered the stuffed Wontons, the Pork Steamed Buns and two sushi rolls. The Bao Buns were amazingly delicious! The stuffed Wontons were extremely scrumptious as well. Unfortunately the sushi (which should have been the star) fell flat. The "Sushi & The Banshees" roll was okay. Sadly the "My Neighbor Toto Toro" roll was rather lackluster. I had my friends give it a try as well and none of us were impressed. Overall I would say that the appetizers were so much better than the sushi itself which was a bit disappointing. The service was great, the drinks were as well and the atmosphere was welcoming, modern and warm."

Lalo

★★★★☆ 4.2 (506) • $$

"Decided to try Lalo during Cincinnati Burger Week. We got there a little early before they opened, 10:30 am, and were waiting in our truck in the parking spot. About a quarter til 11:00 a police car showed up and turned sideways right next to us blocking the road. Several more officers showed up and surrounded a guy that was on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. Exciting start to our day, lol. A resident said he was likely a drug dealer but who knows! So after that cleared we were able to enter Lalo. I have had a meal next door to Lalo at Hawker's Alley before and really have no issue with the neighborhood as it is a typical downtown area in a larger city. We were greeted as soon as we entered and we were told to sit where we would like. We chose a booth. She brought us a menu and silverware and ice water. They had two choices for Cincinnati Burger Week and I ordered on and my friend ordered the other. I also ordered the pork kimchi dumplings and my friend ordered the zucchini fries & sriracha aioli. Both of these starter items were delicious and next time I would definitely order the zucchini as they were so lightly battered and fried crispy, so good! Nothing wrong with my dumplings either. The burgers were hot and delicious! We also had a shot of Bulleit Bourbon to go with our meal as it was on special as well with the burger week offerings.Our waitress/bartender was great and made sure we were taken care of. We will definitely be back here again to try something else off their menu."

Time 4 Thai

★★★★☆ 4.2 (356) • $$

"I absolutely love Thai food so when I heard Time for Thai was the best in town, I had to try it.My husband and I stopped in after church on Sunday. It was around noon but there were already several tables occupied. The restaurant is a decent size but cozy and clean. We were seated immediately and the servers were super nice. I love tofu so we started out with the Golden Triangles app. This was the only disappointment. The tofu was fried well but was otherwise tasteless. For our entrees, my husband and I both chose the Pad Thai since it was our first time here. He had hot and I had medium. The food came out quickly and was piping hot. Y'all, it was so dang good! My shrimp was cooked perfectly and the veggies were nice and crunchy. The medium had a nice heat. I probably could have done hot but I always err on the side of caution when it comes to Thai food!Needless to say, we will be back!"

Thai Street Food Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (197) • $$

"Taste 10/10 - Chicken Pad Thai. Although the medium spice level was a bit hotter than mediums I've ordered elsewhereFriendliness 15/10 - Owner (?) is a wonderful and welcoming, and offered my toddler a full sized Thai chocolate bar after assuring she had no allergiesPrice 8/10 - Portion somewhat small for the priceI'll definitely make a return trip with my husband to try other enticing menu items!"

Buddha Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.3 (168) • $$

"Great food, great people, amazing service. So kind and attentive!Sushi rolls were fresh and filling. The kids loved the miso soup and chicken teriyaki."

Simply Thai

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (239) • $$

"Eggrolls and mango salmon are so delicious! The fried rice was really good especially with the mango sauce from the salmon! Get everything a spice level 2, perfect amount of spice but not spicy!"

Basil Thai

★★★★☆ 3.7 (176) • $$

"Dined for lunch today and it was wonderful! Service was excellent and can't wait to go back and try more fresh sushi!"

Asian Spice Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.2 (135) • $$

"Sooooo delicious! Tom Kha Kra Pao Gai basil chicken and sushi! Mom and pop place !!!!!!!!!!!!"

Nat's

★★★★☆ 4.4 (122) • $

"O.M.G....I have found the authentic Thai restaurant in Kentucky -- Nat's is it!!Nat's is a very unassuming lil takeout only restaurant tucked into the side of McCarthy's Irish Bar and shares a front entrance with an Irish gift shop. It sounds odd, but totally worked! My friend and I walked up one afternoon, ordered food inside the restaurant, was told by the owner to "go next door, order a drink and he will bring the food over". We went to McCarthy's, ordered a couple of Pepsi and sat in the cutest nook by the window. Our orders arrived soon: Kobe beef grapao, shrimp salad. Wow! The flavors are sharp, distinct and intense, like Thai flavors are supposed to be. I would say the grapao's spice level is about medium for me. The salad was so spicy that I couldn't finish it. If you have the tendency to want "Thai Hot" in your dishes, this is the place that can serve it up! If you look at the photos poated by other Yelpers, you'll see many other special menu items not found at any other local Thai places. i cannot wait to come back for them!Btw, there is also a nice courtyard next door w available seating during warmer months."

Aji Sushi and Asian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (110) • $$

"Sushi establishment located in the okolona community of Louisville Kentucky. Located just off outer loop right where it meets Shepherdsville road. I've been eyeballing this place for awhile. My oldest daughter and wife love sushi and we frequent senor iguanas across the street very frequently so This place has caught our eye. From the exterior it looks kinda ran down. They didn't have a legit store sign for a long time so that was off putting. Yesterday on a Friday evening. Me my wife and my oldest and youngest daughters finally made the trip here. The inside is decorated very lovely and nice. Stark contrast from the outside. We received solid service here as well. We started with 4 sushi rolls. The crab Rangoon roll which may have been the best sushi I've ever tasted. Highly recommended. We also got a yum yum roll which was very good as well. The other two rolls we got was a California roll and my oldest got a crab tower. The crab tower was really cool and servers different from other sushi's. My oldest loved it. I took a sample and it was very good. I did not try the California roll but my wife said it was good. Was on par with other California rolls she has Had. For entree I got fried rice with egg and it was solid. My wife and daughter got some soups. Udon noodle with shrimp and a shrimp and veggie ramen. Both were huge and extravagant looking. They both were fans. Only complaint is the breaded shrimp was soggy and that was a weird taste to them. Overall very good place and I'm glad we finally made the trip. Can't always judge a place by its exterior. Kind of a hole in the wall sushi place from the outside. But very nice and tasty on the inside."

Asian Wok

★★★★☆ 3.9 (107) • $

"Asian Wok continues to be our spot for delicious, easy-to-order, decently-priced Chinese food. We most recently ordered from here over the weekend, and I was reminded why this continues to be my family's go-to. We are able to order easily via their online ordering. (How can a restaurant today *not* have this?!?) And then our food is ready, usually within 20-25 minutes. A recent favorite of mine: the Dragon & Phoenix, which is made up of jumbo shrimp with mixed vegetables, sauteed in white sauce on one side, with General Tso's chicken on the other side. It's a nice combo of flavors. The krab rangoon, sesame balls and egg rolls are also good. Don't sleep on this takeout spot!"

China Food

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (142) • $

"Large portions for the amount you pay. Turned my meal into two. I got the chicken low mein and egg drop soup and they were better than expected.Definitely recommend if looking for a chill, casual place to eat."

Hibachi Buffet

★★★★☆ 3.7 (95) • $$

"One of the best buffets around the variety of food is top notch. The grill where you choose your own everything including your sauces to make the best noodles or rice dish of your liking is great. They even have hand dipped ice cream. Service is good and the restaurant is huge"

Dope! Asian Street Fare

★★★★☆ 3.9 (83)

"Everything was delicious. Would go back again. It was a fun food hall market style above the Kroger and for an out of towner- I'll recommend any day and I'll be back.The lemongrass broth was so yummy! The baos were great, and my guy was digging the pork belly ramen. Everything too notch!"

K & L Asian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (77) • $

"This is a diverse Asian style restaurant. We had pad thai with beef, Pho ga (they call chicken noodle soup, and Pot sticker (they call wontons) over all the price was reasonable, with tip it was $50 for the 2 of us. We were pleasantly surprised with the taste of each of the dishes we got. Service was typical when english is a second language, but with a little patience, we worked thru it talking restaurant english only and no other small talk (if you understand what i am trying say), so the service was ok.Now, I have to be totally wowed to give 5 stars."

Asiana Sushi

★★★★★ 4.7 (54)

"I was babysitting my niece and asked her what she wanted for dinner. We talked through a few things before she said hibachi. We love going to a hibachi grill!Asiana is a bit different than other hibachi grills I have been to. It's unique and fun. Their actual hibachi grill area is smaller than I thought it would be but it was perfect for this restaurant setting. They had tables all over and they still cooked your food on this hibachi grill regardless of where you sat. My niece and I were the only ones sitting at a hibachi grill when we first got there, so we got to watch our chef make not just our food but the food for others who were sitting in the restaurant and also to go/delivery orders. The only slight disappointment was that our chef didn't do much of a "show" like we normally experience - especially with my niece sitting with me. It's ok though, we still enjoyed it.I had the filet hibachi and my niece had the kids shrimp hibachi (this kid can eat her weight in shrimp). Onions don't agree with my belly so I asked for no onions in the rice and veggies. They were very wonderful to accommodate. We got our rice, then our protein, and then our veggies on our plate. The kids hibachi comes with a choice of soup or salad while the adult one comes with both. My niece got the salad and our salads and my soup came out before chef started cooking. It was delicious - I love the ginger dressing! After all of our food was plated, I had to wait before I was able to ask for some yum yum sauce. They just handed me the entire bottle instead of portioning it out, which was fine by me. Overall, we had a great visit. It was still $50+ (after tip) for my niece and I, but we had a great evening together. She gave it a 10 out of 10 and double thumbs up."

Ninja Grill Japanese & Hibachi Express

★★★★☆ 3.7 (82) • $

"I placed a to go order. The process was simple. Fill out the to go form, pay, wait, and enjoy! I got crab lomein with mushrooms and onions plus an egg roll. My total was about $13. Portion size was big enough to get two meals out of it. To go order only took at 15 minutes."

Asian Bistro Express

★★★★☆ 4 (69) • $

"This has been one of our to go places to order take out Chinese. They always get our order right and they come within time frame. My boys love their plain lo mein and my husband loves their sweet and sour chicken. He says that it's crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. He eats them like popcorn. Their chicken on the stick or teriyaki chicken is also good. Tender and moist and has that nice char on the outside. Their crab rangoon (not pictured) is also recommend. Their pad Thai is the best out of the Chinese restaurants that sell them. Most Chinese places go crazy on the fish sauce with their pad Thai but this place does the Thai dish some justice. If I can't get it from a Thai restaurant, I get it from this Chinese restaurant (there's a difference).The only complaint I have is their plain fried rice. Really not a fan of the fried rice with just soy sauce on it. Other than that, this will continue to be our to go place Chinese delivery place."

The Depot

★★★★☆ 4 (64) • $$

"The Depots Captain Jack seared sushi is delicious. Orange chicken is great too. The facility is a bit noise conductive. Normal conversations are amplified by the design of the booth canopy. The only negative if your used to a peaceful setting."

Oriental Star

★★★★☆ 3.9 (29) • $

"We often order for carry out here. The food is really good. Best hot and sour soup I have had ! The prices are reasonable, and the service is fast. The dining area needs work- but take out is the way to go here. Small staff, food is made to order. Definitely worth trying."

Tokyo Asian Fusion

★★★★☆ 3.8 (28) • $$

"Delicious place to have good food. The service was awesome. They have a Robot that brings out your food which I think is neat! They have a good array of sushi which I am a huge fan! Great restaurant for our small town of Shelbyville. If you're passing through stop in and try their delicious food!"

Sarap Filipino Eatery

★★★★☆ 3.5 (33) • $$

"One thing I was not expecting from Lousiville was authentic SE Asian food. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon Sarap Filipino in this food hall!I excitedly ordered the lechon kawali and chicken adobo with garlic rice, pancit, and lumpia. The pork was expertly cooked and lechon sauce was the perfect amount of sweet and savory. The adobo was serviceable but the pancit was the best thing on the plate; I wished there was more of it. The lumpia was disappointing both in flavor and portion. For the price I found the portions to be very small. You can see in the photo roughly $30 worth of food fit into one of those large trays you might find nachos in at a high school football game.Overall not too shabby."

Fusabowl - Norwood

★★★★☆ 3.8 (26)

"Gosh, with all these 5-star reviews, did we pick literally the worst day to come here? Don't know, as we have no interest in returning.I tried ordering what I thought would be a fresh and healthy poke bowl on lettuce. Wish I could have better seen the ingredients behind the glass, because I would have aborted that idea. The lettuce was iceberg and ironically swimming in water...I watched in dismay as the worker had to shake off the water, but not hard enough because plenty made it into my to-go box. Next up, some of the most disgusting avocado I have ever been served - more brown/gray than green (thankfully was not an extra charge). And then finished with weirdly cut sticks of onion and topped with "spicy" mayo that was somehow less spicy or flavorful than just pure mayo. At least the salmon wasn't as terrible as everything else and didn't give me any digestive issues like I feared it would, but did not warrant a return visit either. The salmon ended up being the only thing I ate from this "bowl".Service was ok, but a little slow. We received a free $10 gift card for our next visit, but even that won't have us returning (my wife's teriyaki chicken was underwhelming too). I have no idea what world we entered versus the other reviews here, but we won't chance it again."

Maki Asian Bowls

★★★★☆ 3.9 (20)

"While undergoing offsite training nearby, I was pleasantly surprised to find a non-chain lunch offering nearby and promptly decided to visit Maki Asian Bowls for lunch. The restaurant is very clean and decorated with eye catching murals along the walls. There were great lunch specials on offer and I opted for the shoyu ramen, which came with a choice of miso soup or salad (I went for the salad) and an egg roll for $13. I suspect that everything is freshly made, since it took a while for our food to come out. The salad featured a delicious sesame dressing that was outstanding and the veggie egg roll was gigantic and very filling. By the time my ramen came around, I was feeling pretty full, so I brought half home with me. The ramen featured thin pork slices, chopped green onion, spinach, bamboo, a soft boiled egg and wheaty noodles in a thin broth. It was OK -- I've definitely had more flavorful versions -- and it benefited from some hot sauce when I enjoyed it as leftovers the next day. All in all, a good bargain for a lot of freshly made food! I'll be back next time I'm nearby."

Fusion Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (13)

"First time eating here today around 2:00 pm or so and WOW! I was literally the only customer when I walked in and that made me a little nervous, but again, WOW! Inside is nice and clean and simple. They greeted me immediately and I saw that they received a 100% on their health dept report, so that's awesome and comforting. I ordered the 4 pc Salmon Nigiri and 4 pc red tuna and white tuna nigiri combo and OMGGGGG! So delicious, so fresh, so cheap! The pieces of fish are THICK and generous! I was full after three pieces of white/red tuna, so I saved the rest for later. The salmon and the white tuna were melt in your freaking mouth soft and perfect. Fresh delicate flavor. Not fishy. Just perfect. The red tuna wasn't melt in your mouth, but it was sooo fresh and delicious as well. Beautiful bright colors on the red tuna and the salmon. I loved it so much that I just went back a second time today LOL this time I got the 4 pc white tuna and 4 pc red tuna, but already wishing I had also ordered another 4 pc salmon! For 8 pieces of nigiri ...with generous thick cuts of fish and rice portions, the total was just under $15! That's amazing and welllll worth it. I'll be sad if this place doesn't make it as it seems most small Frankfort businesses don't. This one deserves so much more attention!"

Chinstar Asian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.3 (10)

"Delicious! The dish arrived with a tantalizing aroma of freshly minced garlic. Each tender chicken piece was coated in a fragrant garlic sauce that struck the perfect balance. Cozy atmosphere and terrific service. I'll be back!"

Roman's Asian Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (12)

"Extensive menu with different Asian cultures represented. Food and service were great. Prices affordable."

Koi Express

★★★★★ 4.5 (4)

"We went to Koi Express Restaurant off Richmond Rd. and it was really good. I got the Hibachi Chicken Teriyaki. It had just a good balance of vegetables, chicken and rice. I had to go back again in a couple of days because I couldn't get it off my mind. I highly recommend it."

KK Asian Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (5)

"I was tasked to get dinner. I was told, "You pick! I had to make too many decisions at work today." So I went online and googled Chinese food in Bowling Green KY. Then I narrowed the search based on what was open and the reviews. This restaurant had the highest overall rating. So I ordered from here. I got one dish with a vege to be on good behavior, but my second selection was a total sin!! Orange chicken! As Owen Wilson often says, "Wow!" Food prices were reasonable. Decent portions. Amazing taste!!! If you get the orange chicken, buck tradition and go with fried rice instead of white. The salt in the rice balances the sweet and spice of the orange chicken!"

Asian Garden

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (5)

"They recently remodeled & now have a grill. (Something along the line of Mongolian Grill) Along with regular Buffett My wife had it & it was very good. Only real draw back is, Your now the chef trying figure what your making.The place is nice & clean, Food was good."

Asian King & Sushi

★★☆☆☆ 2 (7)

"Tried this place for the first time through Doordash and I have to say it did not disappoint, everything came out great, pretty tasty, warm, looked fresh and not as if it was cooked 3 hours ago, cant complaint. Really liked the egg roll and the BBQ boneless ribs, Although sometimes its really good to have more protein that rice, this time was a little too much protein, so much that at some point I had to eat a mouthful of the ribs with a little bite of rice to complement it, so the ratios where a little off. My wife liked her food, wasn't a big fan though, but to be fair she is not a fan of Chinese food. (Side note: It was my turn to pick what we would eat that weekend LOL). The donuts where delicious, and the chicken sticks where really good but was missing something, cant pin point it though, maybe it had too much Chinese five spice or something, but they where good. Dumplings where great and PACKED, seemed as if they where hand made. Lastly the prices compared to other places around here where really good, we where between this place and Fuji steakhouse, we ordered all this (See pictures) for the same cost of what one Sushi roll, an order of beef fried rice and 4 wings would've cost us on Fuji, so thats a big win for me... Definitely will give them a try again."
