Asian Food is the Junk (my highest rating)
See All Lists
1. Saya Korean and Japanese Restaurant
We don't visit nearly as often as we should - the people are super nice and the food is very good. Tonight we had a bunch of sushi and some yakisoba, dumplings, miso, etc. Everything was very good, the server was alone and very busy, but still very…More »

3.5 stars for the first time in for lunch today. Small place, cute decor and very friendly staff.… Read more »
2. Thai 9
Thai Nine has been pretty reliable since day one. Aside from some service issues here and there when they were first getting off the ground, it's one of our favorite places in town. So much so that we actually have had to take a break a couple of…More »
3. Siam Pad Thai
As Matt pointed out, Siam Pad Thai took over the China Chef location, and since then has been providing solid Thai food and sushi (although we haven't tried any sushi yet).
The ambiance is not awesome - it's a very small place so when it's cold and…More »
4. Ajanta India Restaurant
Good Indian food and nice people. Recently changed ownership but it seems that the original owners are still around sometimes. I preferred it previously but we still go and enjoy. The special Chai tea here is better than Amar/Jeet in my opinion.
5. Jeet India Restaurant
Jeet is the sister restaurant (or brother - whatever gets you through your day) of Amar India in Centerville. Both are very good and pretty much the standard in the Dayton area. The owner provides catering all the way over and down to Columbus and…More »
6. BD's Mongolian Grill
The kids are gonna love this place...
...but you'll also find yourself asking the question, "just how long has that raw beef, shrimp and scallops been sitting there?"
Essentially a glorified buffet, you get a server and a drink and, unless you order a…More »
7. Sima
The cold weather finally got here and we were looking for something warm and comforting - the wife was in the mood for yaki soba and I was looking forward to a big bowl of ramen. To sum up:
1. Service was very good - super friendly for the most…More »

Had a late dinner here tonight and we were very pleased with the experience. Mike covered most… Read more »
8. Bahn Mai Thai Cafe
This is a great little place tucked away in the suburbs. Only a dozen or so tables and a little bar, but it's one of those gems that are easy to miss. Great Thai food, and good wine and beer selection. The people that run the place are nice, and…More »
9. China Cottage
Good service, good food, and some decent wine and beer pricing. I think this is the best Chinese in town, Flying Tiger in Fairborn a close second. This location is currently being remodeled but is still open, Centerville location is done being…More »
10. Flying Tiger Chinese Restaurant
My second best in Dayton, Flying Tiger is good food, especially for the vegetarian folks. They have two great tofu dishes that you should try - Clouds over Meadow and Dry Tofu with peppers etc. - both are very good and a bit spicy which I like as…More »
11. Cilantro Vietnamese Bistro
Stopped by yesterday on my brother's advice, and was worth the trip. We drove around Clifton for a few minutes and realized that it still smelled sort of like a trashcan, but this joint and it's chili sauce will clear your sinuses and fill your…More »
12. Little Saigon
I probably couldn't live without Asian food at this point in my life, and Little Saigon most definitely has its place. A huge selection (it's own menu in fact) of vegetarian food and a lot of authentic stuff. The veggie satay is my favorite, and…More »
13. Kohinoor Palace
Went again last night as we were in the mood for Indian and hadn't been here for some time. Got here around 9pm, a bit later than normal due to work, and were the only table in the place. Aloo Tikki Chaat was very good, but took a while to come…More »

We've been wanting to try this for a while now and finally got the chance last weekend. I agree… Read more »
14. Udupi Palace
People living in towns across North America, and who are blessed only with North Indian restaurants, I'm sorry. You see, like J.W. I was also drawn to Indian food by my vegetarianism, and have since discoved the joy of dosas and uttapam. To be…More »
15. Udupi Palace Restaurant
Chicago, IL 60659

Categories:

Indian
Neighbourhood: West Rogers Park
Used to go to Udupi every now and again with friends when I lived in Chicago. I was used to North Indian food and this was my first experience with South Indian style cuisine. I have to say, I was quite pleased. My fiance and I went together this…More »
