The Most Scrumptious Asian Fusion in Saint Paul

Ococo

★★★★★ 4.5 (8)

"When you're craving good food and just so happen there's a new place in town to satisfy that craving...too bad the hours aren't for the weekend warriors to visit off work hours but at least they do deliveries too. Tried the hainanese chicken rice, pad krap pow and also moo ping - all fantastic and can't really stop your mouth from being stuffed! Quite the spot to get a quick bite if you work in the vicinity."

"Very busy dinner place, but still found decent parking.The food is so delicious! The egg rolls are the bomb! Very crispy and delicious. The portions of the food are large. My boyfriend and I shared and still had leftovers.Our server has been with the business since it opened. She was very hospitable and knowledgeable about the menu. She was quick to state her favorite items on the menu."

Amian

★★★★☆ 4.1 (59) • $$

"I went for a quick lunch on a Sunday. The service was great and the server was polite and attentive. I ordered the Beef Chow Fun which is a staple of many Chinese restaurants and a dish I use to judge the quality. It was fresh and cooked well, the beef was velveted nicely and was tender. They added green and red peppers which was new to me but the crunch of the peppers worked with the rest of the dish. For a Chinese restaurant in a small town in MN, this place will most likely exceed your expectations!"

"Our food was delicious. Our service was friendly and accommodating. It's a beautiful building, once the Anoka post office. They have it so well decorated and it's just so sophisticated and pleasant."

Mac Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (42)

"We have recently discovered this hidden gem and have been amazed with everything we have ordered. We always get DoorDash or pickup - have never dined in. So I can't speak to the service or ambiance inside the restaurant. I will say that the food is really warm every time! My husband and I agreed that they offer the best orange chicken we have ever had. Usually orange chicken at chains or other restaurants have an artificial taste, but this one tastes like they use real oranges.We have also tried the sesame chicken and Mongolian beef. Both have great flavor! I still find the orange chicken to be the best and prefer that over the sesame chicken. The Mongolian beef has a ton of onions in it but the beef flavor is incredibly good. My husband got the beef pho and I tried it - it was delicious too! We both agreed that the pho we have tried at other restaurants is a bit better, but it wasn't bad by any means. The broth just doesn't have as much depth as other pho I have tried.Wontons and the sauce given are amazing too, but you can't go wrong with cream cheese wontons.Overall I think I would stick with the Chinese food offered at this restaurant because they really have it down."

"Oh my gosh! The service and food were excellent! The restaurant was neat and clean, perfect place to meet up with friends. The menu had so many delicious looking items that it was hard to decide what to order. We had to try the wings, which were perfectly cooked. Crispy and excellently seasoned. My friend ordered the BulDak, which was nice and spicy, he thoroughly enjoyed it. The serving was huge. There were enough leftovers for two more meals. I ordered the Japchae, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I definitely will go back and try more of their delicious food."

Lat14 Asian Eatery

★★★★☆ 4 (560) • $$

"Always a great time at Lat14. Arrived about 4:30 on Friday without a reservation and was seated right away. All the servers I've had here have always been so attentive and kind. My FIL and I loved our cocktails, but my MIL thought the Rum the Jewelz cocktail was too strong and had to ask for pineapple juice on the side in order to finish it. I thought it had great flavor, but agreed it was strong for sure. Always have to get their Thai basil wings. It's a must! We loved all of our entrees. I liked the shrimp and mushrooms, but not sure I'd order it again. First time having Nam Khao and throughly enjoyed it and would order it again.Thai tea is one of my favorites so to have it in the form of creme brûlée was such a treat! The restaurant is so beautiful it's as if you are in someone's very well decorated home."

Kham Fu Dee

★★★★★ 4.5 (13)

"I've had the pleasure of catching Kham Fu Dee's food truck at 56 Brewing and Bauhaus. And by "catching" I mean I was really lurking their sched' and going wherever they were. Check out @khamfudee on Instagram to see where they're at next! They're often at Arbeiter, Insight, and Venn Brewing but of course the locations rotate.Here's what I've had! Green Curry Bowl - A flavorful option for vegetarians if you choose tofu as the protein. It had a nice bit of heat to it too! Drunken Fries - LOVE that they use perfectly crispy seasoned waffle fries as the base, and top them with both pork and chicken, two aiolis, and fresh green onion. Great to share or not at all (I recommend hogging them!). Wings - we tried the gochujang BBQ wings, which had a great balance of sweet and heat. The wings were juicy and crispy still! Hawaiian Melt - this hits all the marks with its savory pork (or chicken), creamy and crunchy coleslaw, sweet fresh grilled pineapple... so good. Last but not least, their cream cheese wontons have a hit of garlic to them which gives them more dimension.Above all else, the family that runs this is so warm and hospitable. I've seen the husband (Kham), wife (Yvett), and daughter all working together with smiles on their faces, which puts one on mine."

Abang Yoli

★★★★☆ 4.4 (33)

"So, this is the place to get Korean-style friend chicken.That's really all I have to say about this place. The service was friendly and the food is fantastic. We started with Bulgogi Short Rib Bao and Char Siu Bao. Should order at least each of these...yes, even if you're eating alone. These things are sooooooooo good.Next, we added the Asian fries to our chicken order. These are entirely too easy to eat. If you have a thing for potatoes, you might need rehab after eating these. They came out hot and perfectly seasoned and presented. Another thing you might want to order more than one of if you're sharing. I don't typically eat a lot of fries, yet these are worth the calories. And finally, what you came here for: Chicken! Darn-good friend chicken. These thighs are fried to perfection and so moist and flavorful. The crunch is so strong that you feel surprised that your clothes aren't covered in shards of skin and batter. We got the four-piece and ate one each at the restaurant. You can order ahead if you don't have time to eat inside. You aren't going to get a better Korean-style chicken anywhere else."

Urban Wok

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (118)

"Love their stir fry dishes - rice or noodles, choice of protein, tons of veggies and fresh, house made sauces. The portions are large enough to share, or to bring for lunch the next day. Their downtown Saint Paul location is 3 blocks from my apartment, so we almost never dine in. The space seems comfortable and laid back, and the service is great."

Haven Asian Eatery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (101)

"I'm so glad I saw someone review this place so I could discover it myself! I had been struggling to find a good pad Thai close to home, but this is it. We came in super early bird dinner on a Friday so it was no problem dining in with our 12 month old. We had pad Thai, curry fried rice, and some spring rolls. Everything was delicious! The sauce with the spring rolls was excellent, and the spring rolls tasted fresh with lots of lettuce. The pad Thai and fried rice had great flavors and big portions! Everything was seasoned so nicely. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. It's winter so the sun went down fast but they have a great big wall of windows overlooking a small lake and walking path. I imagine it's beautiful in the summer. If they added some more live plants in the sun room area I think it would be such a beautiful space year round."

Thai Fusion

★★★★☆ 3.6 (77) • $$

"At the moment they're only accepting take outs - no dining in experience.I ordered the Pad See Ew and Paradise Wings during my lunch through Yelp (about 12:30 - 1:30). This was on a weekday. Estimated time to be ready as shown in Yelp was about 30-35 minutes. If you're looking to grab something and can't wait or have less than an hour for lunch, I suggest ordering ahead of time. Otherwise it looks like they also have a good selection of hot deli items and cold snacks to grab and go.I actually arrived a bit early to pick up but food came out before the estimated time I was given in the app. Don't forget to grab your utensils! It's not in the bag when ordered. I had to go back in for that.Plenty of parking space in the lot!Although wait time was much longer than normal, you won't be disappointed by the food! I was most amazed by the Paradise Wings. Seems to be coated with Panko crumbs and cooked perfectly - not at all soggy. 3 hours later and the wings were still crunchy as when it was fresh! Wings were packed and meaty, just how I like it. Comes with sweet chili sauce.Pad See Ew was also delicious. I've had my fair share of Pad See Ew but the noodles for this one holds perfectly well. As in, it's not soggy and doesn't break easily fresh or if you were to save and eat it later. Quite impressed. Good mix of proteins and vegetables. To sum it up, food is awesome and I'd go back for more on a weekend."

Rose Garden Asian Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (71) • $$

"I am spending the weekend at home as my SO is deer hunting. I wanted some Asian food and decided to try somewhere new. I used Door Dash for delivery and ordered the Hot and Sour soup which was absolutely delicious I would have again. I also ordered shrimp curry very fresh huge shrimp flavor was good I have leftovers and would spice it up a little. It came with rice and chow mein noodles packaged well with a piece of cardboard on the bottom of the bag nothing spilled. I will be back"

Mango Thai

★★★★☆ 3.6 (358) • $$

"Delightful! Such a calming Zen atmosphere. The food was authentic and beautifully presented. The depth of flavor and freshness was a surprise for the price point. Very affordable and absolutely delicious!! Fair warning-this place brings on the heat so be sure to ask them for little to no heat if you are not familiar with Thai peppers. I ordered the Pineapple Shrimp Curry and their signature Green Curry Salmon. Both just melt in your mouth fabulous. We'll be back for sure!!"

The Cove

★★★★☆ 4.2 (175) • $$

"Came here to try something new in Dinkytown! It is right across from the Target express. We were down on campus for a game at TCF and came here for lunch before. Wasn't super busy which was nice and we were able to get our food very fast.Here at The Cove, they have poke bowls, rice bowls, and bun mi. Me and my boyfriend both got rice bowls and were very impressed. I got my bowl with the chicken and meatballs and my boyfriend got the pork belly and meatballs. Everything was full of flavor and very tender. My personal favorite was the chicken; it was breaded and tasted absolutely amazing. The sides that come in the bowl are also great. The Chinese broccoli and mushrooms were our personal favorites!The restaurant itself is very nice and simple. You go up to the counter to order and they give you a number for your table. They also have outdoor seating for when it is nice outside! Overall this place is delicious and unique from many other restaurants around. I will definitely be coming back again."

Vn Express

★★★★☆ 4.3 (38)

"Pho time! So excited to try a new pho restaurant and they also have a wide variety of other food options as well. Upon walking in, you need to head to the counter and order and then they will bring your order to your table. They roughly have 5 modern tables to dine at. The very very cool thing about this restaurant is that they are represented at the state fair. They also have to die for egg rolls, iced Vietnamese coffee, and cream cheese wontons. (Que viet concession) I ordered the pho with thin steak. I love the fact that the accoutrements were on a platter on top of the bowl...I've never seen that and so clever! The meal was delish and there was even some leftover to take home. My only note was that there was no music playing so it was a bit quiet in there but I can't wait to come back."

UMI Sushi & Hibachi

★★★★☆ 3.7 (76)

"The expresso martini is always a 10/10. For food they had an end of the summer special which included 1 appetizer and 3 sushi rolls for $40.I ordered for appetizers and onion soup and Sautéed with chili paste and garlic . If you're a lover of spice this edamame would be 1st pick. For my rolls I order a angry bird which had shrimp tempura, spicy kani, cucumber, topped with seared salmon, masago, green onion, eel sauce, spicy mayo, Crunch roll Included shrimp tempura, cucumber, kaiware (Daikon Sprout), topped with crunch, nori, masago, eel sauce, spicy mayo., TRIPLE THREAT roll it included spicy salmon, spicy yellowtail, topped with spicy tuna, crunch, spicy mayo This roll was one of my favorite it was so deliciously crunchy I went back twice lol. Service was fast and the ambiance is always great would recommend this place for sushi in blaine!"

Ichiddo Highland Park

★★★★☆ 4.4 (52)

"Yum is all I can start with! My date and I ordered delivery and we got two chicken stir fry ramens, age tofu, and gyoza. I added shredded char siu pork to mine which just made it over the top delicious! I was blown away with how good this ramen was and actually the age tofu (fried tofu with Japanese classical skewer sauce, tapped with bonito flakes) was my favorite part of the meal, it was just sooo good! It held its crunchy consistency even for takeout and towards the end of the meal, just so flavorful and the perfect appetizer! I didn't take any photos so you'll just have to trust me on this. Ichiddo Ramen is so good! I'll 100% be back and loved that the prices are decent. We got our whole meal for two people for just under $48 which included delivery fees, so well worth the cost!"

"Every time I come here, the food is phenomenal. All you need to do is order appetizers so you can have multiple things to eat from the food is so delicious."

World Street Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (678) • $$

"I ordered the Bangkok burrito and the squash/mushroom tacos through a delivery app. I said no cilantro on both and sauce on the side of the burrito. The tacos were fantastic! The burrito was full of cilantro and there was no sauce included. After it was deconstructed to remove the cilantro, it was delicious, but that was a lot of work to be able to enjoy it.I would give this order 5 stars just for the deliciousness of the food (after cilantro was removed), but the special instructions not being followed really bummed me out. I have to order delivery because I'm disabled and don't have a car. I only get it like once a month due to budget constraints so it does really matter when my food isn't quite what I ordered."

Soi21 Asian Bistro & Bar

★★★★★ 4.5 (15)

"We met friends here who said they love this place. I got a pineapple/passion fruit cocktail that was delicious. My friend ordered a lemongrass Moscow mule that was really good too. The cucumber salad was great - I like that they ask the heat level. We ordered medium spice and it had a good kick.I was so excited to try the curry and it was Amazing!! I just want to swim in that bowl. I like spice so I ordered mine medium-hot and it had a good amount of heat but I could have probably gone hot.We shared some ice cream with pineapple and coconut for dessert and that was really good too! Can't wait to go back for more curry!"

Sky Dragon Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (69) • $$

"First time visitor to Sky Dragon and I was very satisfied! My family gave great feedback with the exception of believing that they were a bit skimpy on the meat (I had to agree). Overall really delicious. We got General Tso's Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, and Mongolian Beef. The beef dish was mostly onions with very little beef. The Kung Pao Chicken had a nominal amount of chicken. But the General Tso's seemed like a good balance. With all that said, I'm mostly just saying these things to tell the whole story in what was a genuinely good first experience and a sense that I may have found a new favorite Chinese food restaurant. None of the dishes were completely absent of meat. Each had genuinely delicious flavor. In addition, the portions were good if not generous. The presentation was neat and orderly. The service was friendly and prompt. The online ordering was super easy. I WILL FOR SURE BE BACK!!"

Thai Garden Fusion

★★★★☆ 3.9 (135) • $$

"Perfectly spiced and authentic sauces, we'll be back. Parking is sparse but by the west bank Green line station. We came after attending the theater in the round performance. Perfect time and place for pre dinner and after performance . Recommended."

Kazoku Japanese

★★★★☆ 4.3 (133) • $$

"My husband and I went here for a Valentine's lunch date. We arrived at 11:30, which was good, because it got pretty busy after that. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. We ordered the Sake, Hamachi, Shrimp Tempura, and Chicken Yakisoba. Everything was good, but the Sake and the Shrimp Tempura were the favorites! We will definitely return!"

Abang Yoli

★★★★☆ 3.8 (40)

"Absolutely delicious meal. The portions were huge, and the dipping sauce and kimchi slaw complimented the chicken perfectly. The presentation was lovely, and the staff at the Abang Yoli counter were very friendly. I would come here again!"

Bona Vietnamese

★★★★☆ 3.5 (162) • $

"My friend told me this was her favorite place for pho so I decided it was worth a shot. They're easy enough to find and is located on the U of M campus (where it is easy enough to find other pho shops as well). My standard for pho is to always try the pho dac biet. So that was what I ordered. And honestly, I wasn't super satisfied. The flavor depth fell short. There wasn't much to the broth at all. At one point, it may have been a good broth, but it seems like maybe water just kept being added. I also remembered that it didn't come out really hot...but more just warm. I'm not sure I'd go back as there are so many other choices, but if you're in a pinch and you're in the area and looking for an inexpensive bowl of hot noodle soup, they're not a terrible option."

Khun Nai Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.1 (156) • $$

"This place was amazing. Staff is attentive and surprisingly fast. The place was 3/4 full when my daughter and I arrived to sate our Thai desires. We had the chicken satay, jalapeño wontons, Tom Kha soup, Gang Ped Yang (curried duck), and ...something else... we were tying on the feedbag.The drinks were on the table before we thought about them again and the whole meal began showing up shortly after. Blazing fast service and food that was plentiful and better than we expected. Delicious.Be sure to leave space for our return. We'll be back to try the Pad Bai Horepa. See you there soon!"

Miyabi

★★★★☆ 3.6 (113) • $$

"Everytime I've visited, i've always loved this place. It's super cute, love the environment, and they have indoor and outside seating. The food has always been hot, fresh, AND fast! The wait staff is always so kind and polite and very attentive when you need anything, they don't leave you hanging ever. I think it's awesome for a date night or even a girls night with it not being super tiny. Kinda shocked that whenever i've stopped in it's never too busy seeing i've never had a poor experience here. It's definitely a spot to try with having food business hours too!"

Hmoob Kitchen at Hmongtown Marketplace

★★★★☆ 4.4 (8) • $

"I was visiting Minneapolis for a work conference and my friend and I knew we had to try Hmong food while we were there. I'd definitely recommend this place in the food court at Hmongtown Marketplace.Their grilled chicken reminded me of the Thai version of gai yaang, but it skewed more savory than sweet. I LOVED the dipping sauce that came with it - it was like a spicy pepper vinegar loaded with MSG. Very addicting; you could pour that sauce over a used bandaid and it'd be decent. The owner of the store was a friendly Asian dad! I'd come back to try more of their grilled meats. Grilled meat and rice is what most people get here."

Pham's Rice Bowl

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (83) • $

"I love Pham's Rice Bowl! I've visited this stall quite a few times. It's located in the middle of the Midtown Global Market along the major dining space. The team here is really friendly and it's always a good service experience!I've tried a lot of menu items like Banh Mi, pho, and their boba! All of it is pretty good and I'll be continuing to get food here!"

Potsticker

★★★★★ 4.5 (94) • $$

"The food was amazing! We ordered the Potsticker Tour, Fried Rice (as our large plate that came with the tour) and Korean Wings. It was great amount of food for 3-4 people, we had plenty of fried rice leftover.Restaurant is small but simple in the best way. We did make a reservation but went on a Wednesday night so it wasn't too busy.Our favorite potsticker flavors were the Kimchi Pork (all time fav), shrimp angus beef chives, cilantro pork. Again, everything was so delicious!"

Oyama Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.3 (69) • $$

"Solid delicious sushi. Twins roll every time. All the others good too friendly fast service."

Asian Invasion Food Truck

★★★★☆ 3.8 (20) • $

"Asian Invasion is still fairly new to the streets, but they're slinging some pretty tasty pan-Asian eats. Their menu changes somewhat frequently, but you can typically expect to find things like a Vietnamese pork sandwich (note, not a banh mi), katsu curry, egg rolls, sesame chicken, among other things. The pork sandwich was generously sized and contains a lot of Vietnamese-style roasted pork topped with slaw and served on a ciabatta roll - a bit spendy for a sandwich, but tasty and filling. I have also tried a rotating special of lemongrass chicken which was good and had a nice little bit of kick (in the Minnesotan sense - nothing overpowering).Service has been very friendly and you won't be waiting long for your order. I'll definitely always be happy to see them on the streets of St. Paul, though it would be nice to see them add some non-meat centric dishes to the menu as well."

Asian Hon

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (34) • $

"This particular location has changed hands three times in the ten years that I've lived here and so I hope this place makes it! They have a good variety of the traditional American-Asian choices. Good things first: The vegetables are always fresh. The sauces are flavorful. The meat is good quality. The portions are large. The prices are reasonable. The service is quick and they deliver!Very accomodating and friendly! Not so good: Do not order the Pad Thai - it is not traditional. Some items are a little too saucy. I really need to specify spiciness level - they don't always believe me. They advertise a buffet, but they never have it when I visit due to the small number of patrons. I believe they do a steady delivery business which is why they are still there.Overall, I appreciate this place and believe it is a gem."

Urban Wok

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (22)

"First time visitor, really great experience. I had a udon noodle bowl with the spicy peanut sauce and it was so good. I was pleasantly surprised that the sauce had actual heat to it, so often Minnesota spice means barely a tingle, but this sauce was flavorful and had a kick.The store is clean and the menu easy to figure out, I'll definitely be back."
