Asian cuisine restaurants Belgium

Here, no Asian kitsch decorations. The atmosphere is muffled and the setting current. Shanghai (open since 1963) offers refined dishes. We let ourselves be tempted by the lobster sauté flavoured with ginger or by the matchstick beef sautéed with onions, house specialties. The outstanding wine list offers more than 40,000 bottles in a ripening cellar located under a church. We don't say whether the wine is blessed there, but the hygrometric and temperature conditions reach the heavens! Each dish is thus matched to the wine that suits it best.

Chief Van Hau N'Gguyen is wearing... Hau the Vietnamese food! This one is honored in a very airy and bright setting. Located in a magnificent villa from the beginning of the last century, in a nice residential area, this is an exceptional address. The products used are very fresh and the recipes from South-East Asia finely elaborated (partly based on ingredients from the market). The chef is passionate about wines and offers his beautiful discoveries, organic or nature (l) s. The reception by the hostess is attentive.

Gastronomic Thai restaurant, the decoration is simply magnificent, both sober and very elegant. The cuisine, very refined, offers real flavours, with exceptional spices such as coriander, lemongrass, bergamot, ginger, coconut milk... The menu offers a dozen starters and main courses, the menu is available in three or five courses. Whole lobster with coconut milk, ginger, lemongrass and saffron; Basket of chicken and shrimps with red curry and steamed coconut milk are a light glimpse of the menu. Outdoor terrace for sunny days.

The Japanese restaurant par excellence! A few steps from the Kinepolis cinema. Before or after a session, there are ideas to dig, whether you are in two or in groups. Here, in any case, you'll be given a kimono to better immerse yourself in the atmosphere. For five years now the Sakura has opened its doors, and the least we can say is that this establishment has attracted a loyal clientele. A restaurant where you can get to the Japanese grill, the teppanyaki. To the sakura, remember that everything that is cooked is in your eyes, in the midst of great flames. But do not worry, no risk of seeing your order skeleton. The chef knows his job!

At the helm of this elegant little corridor restaurant is Tom Pokomé. Based in Belgium for a number of years, he studied royal Thai cuisine in Bangkok, in the purest respect for tradition. There's no à la carte menu here! You'll be surprised by the chef, who has done his shopping on the day. It's impossible to predict what's going to be on your plate, but every dish we tried was of the utmost finesse. Just mention your food allergies when booking (essential, Baan Chann is small).

The latest project from Michelin-starred chef Sang-Hoon Degeimbre, but one that's close to his heart as it draws on his roots: Korea. Enter this bright, vitamin-packed den, filled with frescoes evoking the land of the morning calm, and start with a few shareable starters like japchae (beef tartar with sesame) or pajeons (kimchi and vegetable pancakes). The main course focuses on banchans, a series of side dishes (kimchi, shiso leaf, spinach, rice, etc.) based around a single ingredient (meat or non-meat), which you can mix and match to discover all the flavors. A real favorite!

Located in Antwerp's Chinatown, close to the station, this Tibetan restaurant is a wonderful discovery. The room isn't fancy, but the dishes are original. Try the divine soup of shrimp gyozas with lots of enigmatic aromatic herbs, marinated cucumbers with fried chicory, then very fine sweet potato noodles and sautéed minced pork, a delight. A refreshing change from Cantonese or Thai specialties. Very mild Ba bao tea. Affordable, tasty and practical to order to take away before catching your train.

A refined Japanese restaurant, it allows you to observe the chef, Tomoyasu Kamo, sitting at the counter, according to a tradition well established in the Land of the Rising Sun. Kamo's inventive preparations or traditional dishes, which are often served in Japan, are honored with a star and continue to sell out every night. For a first approach, lunch is available at a more democratic price, and for a jubilant discovery, the evening meals are more expensive but also more singular. Possibility of reservation for groups (maximum eight people), by reservation only.

The reputation of this Belgian restaurant, located 20 km from Lille, makes it easy to up the landernau of Asian cuisine Lille. Grills are cooked before us by three proud chefs as "i" in their traditional attire. This is a real "show" moment. And since we are talking about traditional dress, the clientele itself is dressed in kimono. You're warned, but let's go to table. Taking scampis and coquilles shells roasted in garlic and then salmon with vegetables is a good idea. The whole meal is accompanied by Japanese beer or good Japanese sake, not confused with what the uncultivated call Chinese sake (strong digestive, whose real name is the mei kieu read). A restaurant that really changes from the ordinary, where you always go back with pleasure.

A little crush! You could go there just for the façade covered with posters with funny slogans, illustrating all the humour of the owners. But the main reason for coming is to take a culinary trip on board a train that travels through Indochina, in the colonial era. Comfortably installed in wagons, we taste the best of Vietnam. Very good value for money, friendly atmosphere and a la carte, a traditional Vietnamese cuisine or more inventive which makes the happiness of gourmets.

Signature Sushi is first and foremost an atmosphere: light wood, petrol blue velvet benches that contrast nicely with the pink of the sakuras and the typically Japanese lamps. It's a bit like the meeting of East and West. Fai is the "sushi-master" who officiates in the kitchen to make rolls, makis or sashimis as beautiful as they are good. His signature recipes? Faï's roll with sea bream, salmon and avocado burnt with a blowtorch and the Signature sushi with salmon roe. The restaurant also offers poké bowls.

Without doubt the best Thai restaurant. At the weekend, it is better to book because all the city court. Impossible to miss this red façade blood-of- beef large bourgeois residence. Classic will cross contemporary Decor little busy, but a dragon or two well illustrating, with its way, the flavours of the kitchen. Really excel and departs yourself for £26 per person!

A Chinese restaurant that sounds funny, but it's a good thing! True to its reputation, Belgium offers us monstrous plates for a nice price. The dishes are above the average, it's even the end. The happy family menu will delight all guests. Five services! The seafood fondue is a real success. The service is discreet. The frame, uh… Chinese! The best Asian address in the immediate vicinity of Armentières.
