Asian Sensations
See All Lists
1. Pho Tau Bay
I'm biased. I run the "infamous" http://istaubayopen.com/ and have been patronizing this establishment for years. So, it's no surprise I give it 5 stars because it has yet to disappoint me. I've occasionally strayed to try other pho in the city, but…More »
2. Double Greeting Won Ton House
Edmonton, AB T5H 2G7
(780) 424-2486
I don't care what people think, this is a five-star place to me, simply because it's stood the test of time. For twenty years, my family has been going to DG or "Deej" as we call it on a regular basis. Though, some have defected to the supposedly…More »
3. Ludy's Cake Shop
Edmonton, AB T5E 1J8
(780) 473-4336
Are you Filipino? Have you lived in Edmonton all your life? Then you've probably had a slice of Ludy's cake at some point. It's pretty much the go-to bakery for a lot of the local Filipino community -- they are famous for their mocha rolls.
This isn't…More »
4. B-Bim-Baab Restaurant & Lounge
Why are all these great restaurants stuck in the middle of nowhere? This one is actually near our BMW mechanic, which made for very convenient dinner once we had to pick up our car. Stuck in the industrial south side, it may be easy to miss but…More »
5. Tropika Malaysian Cuisine
You know, I was expecting to dislike this place.
Maybe because it's sort of a "chain" and far away from Chinatown, that I wasn't sure if I should try it out or not. Still, my mom has good taste in Asian food, and she said that it's "improved" over the…More »
6. King Noodle House Pho Hoang
When Tau Bay is closed for vacation, I feel like a lamb lost in the woods. What am I to do with myself when the city is overcast, chilly, and rainy? In a reluctant move of desperation, my hubby and I decided to check out King Noodle, as people with…More »
7. Stephanie's Thai & Lao Fusion Cuisine - CLOSED
I love discovering places like this. Outside, a nondescript strip mall in Noweheresville, Suburbia; but, once you open the door, it feels like entering the Land of Narnia with an Asian twist. The interior of the restaurant is very well decorated,…More »
8. Urban China
At first, I didn't give Urban China much of a thought, or chance, because of some poor reviews from their opening. However, the past few months, I've slowly heard trickling of "they've improved" or "they've changed" -- and then, finally, the…More »
9. Thanh Son Restaurant
I used to live near here, which was just great because this place has some of the best bún in town. For the uninitiated, "bún" (pronounced similarly to BOON), is a rice noodle bowl topped with a variety of grilled meats (pork, beef, chicken), prawns,…More »
10. Wild Ginger
Brooklyn, NY 11201
USA
(718) 858-3880
Categories:
Asian Fusion,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhoods: Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill
I'm a carnivore. I love my meat. But, after attending a conference with a couple of staunch vegetarians, they convinced my husband and I to have dinner with them at Wild Ginger. Now, I had really zero (maybe even borderline low) expectations as my…More »
11. Garden Bakery Restaurant
Ah, Garden Bakery. You're my go-to if I want Asian-style baked goods, like taro or coconut buns, and you have the best little custard fruit tarts! I wish I go there when things are more freshly baked, because there's nothing like sesame seed balls…More »
12. Noodle Maker
Took my hubby and a friend there. We ordered the spring rolls, pigs ear, teriyaki chicken ramen and the smiling buddha's nun feast (or something similar sounding). I had the spicy neu rou mein, which was quite good. However, I felt the need to update…More »

Confession: I almost didn't want to try Noodle Maker because I didn't like my ramen experience in… Read more »
13. Coco's Nest
I was excited to try Coco's Nest because it's a Filipino restaurant so close to my home. I'm normally weary to try Filipino food outside my parents house, but I thought, hey why not, since it's close by.
It's tucked away in the corner of a north-east…More »
14. Bul Go Gi House
It's not my fave Korean restaurant in town, but it's okay. I like it, but I don't love it.
I think their general Korean fare is pretty decent, but not for the prices they offer -- for example, for equivalent price, Bi-Bim-Baab further south has a MUCH…More »
15. Wok N Roll Restaurant
3.5 stars.
This place ain't half bad. Despite being in the north side, the taste equivalent is that of Chinatown! I'm always impressed when you have options like this available to you in the burbier parts of town and it still remains authentic.
I've…More »
16. The Lingnan
You're paying for the ambiance more than the food. Don't get me wrong, the food was fine -- Chinese-Canadian fare, which I find nothing wrong with, as long as it's tasty (how can you resist deep fried whatever?). What was great was the fact that they…More »
17. Asian Express Hot Pot
This place is fantastic. Recently discovered by my sister, she's been making a lot people converts, and it's pretty easy to see why.
What makes this place different from other hot pot places is that each seat gets its own hot pot -- yes, you read…More »
