Best Asian Food Restaurants in Orlando

"And at King Bao, a Mills 50 purveyor of this trendy, if ancient, Asian steamed bun delicacy, cheap. King Bao's fluffy, doughy handhelds are beyond reasonable – $7 for a two-bao combo, $9 for three – and stuff loads of fatty, crunchy, crispy, creamy and a whole bunch of other adjectives into their tender buns. And we didn't write that sentence just to use the phrase "tender buns." Mostly."

"Kabooki Sushi offers all the traditional sushi rolls and sashimi, but for a truly over-the-top culinary adventure, consider the chef-selected multi-course omakase experience. Just make sure to not get too full: The house-made desserts, like the goat cheese panna cotta and beet cake, served with Thai basil, beet powder, black pepper almonds, olive oil, and beet vinegar, are divine."

"A sleek and intimate interior belies a nondescript exterior on busy Colonial Drive near the Fashion Square Mall. It's an Orlando favorite for sushi and Asian fusion, with artful and generous presentation and a soothing, cosmopolitan vibe. Let the chef's mood and best ingredients seduce your palate with a six-course omakase creation or choose your own path."

"To be fair, Hawkers, as the name would indicate, is not merely Chinese, however, enough of its small-plate delicacies are that we feel okay about throwing it into the mix. The restaurant's concept is simple: assemble an array of edibles one might see on an Asian-themed "No Reservations" best-of mash-up, put them together on one menu where prices range from about $3-8 apiece for tapas that make for ideal sharing. Some Chinese standouts include slow-cooked Cantonese beef stew or crispy cod and of course, potstickers are generally on everyone's appetizer wishlist; Hawkers version features a chicken filling."

"The casual and cheap restaurant in Orlando specializes in Lao (from Laos) cuisine and focuses on one simple concept: a ball of very sticky rice (about the size of a snowball) that you eat by pulling off pieces and dipping it in one of two savory sauces. If you like protein with your rice, you’ve got several tasty options including lemongrass pork sausages and pieng gai (sticky street wings). Pull up a seat at the picnic-style tables and tear off as many paper towels as you need."

"Specializing in Lao street food, this casual restaurant is just east of Mills 50. Items on the menu, including richly flavored options like lemongrass pork sausages, spicy papaya salad and mango sticky rice, are $5 or less each — and not counting beverages, you can buy one of everything for just $61!"

"With its glossy wraparound bar and angled bento-box ceiling, Dragonfly set the bar pretty high for modern izakayas and sushi houses in this city when it opened back in 2010. While its robata game is strong, Dragonfly’s servings of sushi and sashimi certainly have wings. Of note are the Hokkaido scallops dressed in garlic-jalapeno, the bigeye tuna kobachi tossed in a spicy sesame oil blend and the indulgent sashimi passion, available in composed 7- and 21-piece platters."

"If you’re looking for Thai food with gluten-free and vegetarian options, then Spice Thai Restaurant is the one for you. With guaranteed freshness and authentic Thai cuisine, the menu does not disappoint. Try the lightly breaded cube tofu, golden fried coconut shrimp, and crispy blanketed shrimp parcels."

"While you can look out for promo codes, you can also check out places reviewed by users for offering an excellent value, like New Tasty Wok in Colonialtown South, Ms. Tea’s Bento in Scottish Glenn, Lu Garden in Kirkman South, Lam’s Garden Restaurant in Coytown, and Sunflower Chinese restaurant in Conway."

"Relatively inexpensive compared to quality, Zero Degrees brings bubble tea to a whole new level. Pioneering a reinvented age for boba, this exquisite bubble tea shop not only has a wide variation of flavours and toppings, but their presentation and innovation is top notch!. One-of-a-kind in the whole world, don’t miss the chance to try their split cup deal where you can get two flavours for the price of one — you’ll never have to eliminate any flavour from your top two choices anymore!"

"If you haven't heard of Zero Degrees until now, it's a Asian-Hispanic fusion chain focusing on snack foods and drinks with heavy presence on the West Coast. Nothing here is healthy, it's truly a menu of guilty pleasures. This ube milkshake was a fun, sweet cool down, topped with a sour rainbow stripe, a toasted marshmallow, because why not."

"Peperoncino is an inviting, family-friendly restaurant that aims to bring authentic regional Italian dishes from Calabrese to Florida for diners to enjoy. Using only the freshest local and imported seasonal ingredients and modernizing age-old culinary techniques and cooking methods, the expert chefs at Peperoncino produce mouthwatering and tantalizing dishes. Signature dishes on the menu include calamari ripieni, pancia al forno, parmigiana, and risotto zucchine e gamberi, all of which are accompanied by exclusive Italian wines."

"Chef Barbara Alfano welcomes you to her authentic cucina inspired by her two nonnas and their love of food. She shows off her culinary skills in the open kitchen of this little restaurant in the Dellagio Town Center, a Tuscan styled shopping and dining complex in the Dr. Phillips area of Orlando. The menu changes daily based on her inspiration and the freshest ingredients available."

"Located right off Sand Lake Road at the Dellagio Town Center, Peperoncino Cucina offers fresh Italian cuisine that is both tasty and authentic. The menu at Peperoncino Cucina changes from night to night, ensuring a completely unique experience every time."

"Last on my list of breweries in Orlando, it’s the Bear and Peacock Brewery. If you happen to be in the Winter Park area, be sure to check out The Bear and Peacock Brewery. Not only is this seen as one of Winter Park’s finest spots for grabbing a beer, but you can also sample a spirit or two at this location."

"The Bear and Peacock brewery is located in nearby Winter Park Florida. The taproom is located inside the Brewstillery facility that opened a distillery in 2010, and the tap room followed in 2016. You can sample both beers and spirits at this location!"

"We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Purple Ocean Superfood Bar is the perfect place for delicious vegan and tropical options!. Not only do they have their traveling food truck that you can catch at the Winter Park Farmer’s Market, but they also have 3 brick-and-mortar locations open every day at the Florida Mall, Waterford Lakes, and on Mills. Enjoy amazing options like their acai bowls, smoothies, or their signature vegan burger and handcrafted lemonade."

"This cute food truck serves up specialty Acai and Pitaya bowls, bringing a Caribbean feel of Puerto Rico to Orlando. Bowls are beautiful and vibrant feasts with toppings such as Banana, Strawberries, Blueberries, Kiwi, Mango, Coconut Flakes and Agave. It’s perfect for anyone looking for raw, natural and organic food that’s full of flavour and goodness."

"Waffles and ice cream are such a brilliant match, but over at Purple Ocean Superfood you feel a little bit better about the indulgence. At any of their Orlando locations you can order frozen açaí on top of a buckwheat waffle with fresh fruit. If you want to bypass the waffle, their bowls are amazing served plain or even in half of a pineapple."
