Best Asian Restaurants in U Village / U District

Food was great. We loved the Mongolian noodles. Server was awesome. We had a bottle of wine that was on the spoiled side (which does happen), manager came with his apologies and took it off the bill. I hate when that happens and feel bad sending the bottle back. But they were gracious about this and we ordered cocktails instead. I definitely recommend Wild Ginger.

Sticky rice dumplings are to die for. We had a fabulous meal.

Kilig Filipino Restaurant – Pure Comfort and Kilig! Blessed to have dinner with the kids tonight, and wow, this gem in Chinatown is exactly what we needed. The food? Unreal. The vibes? Warm and inviting. The memories? Priceless. Here’s what we tried (and loved): ⭐ SINIGANG WINGS Think crispy, tangy, sweet, and a little sticky—all in one bite. That tamarind seasoning and hot honey glaze combo is a winner. Definitely a must-order! ⭐ LUCKY ME! CHILIMANSI! Childhood nostalgia, but elevated. Wheat noodles coated in chili crisp and calamansi, with just the right balance of sweet and tangy. Bonus points for the fresh veggies. ⭐ BULALO This beef broth is pure comfort in a bowl. Rich and full of collagen, the tender beef shank and marrow pair perfectly with corn, potatoes, and charred cabbage. You’ll want to sip on every drop. ⭐ OINK OINK Adobo reimagined—creamy, spicy, and totally unexpected with that coconut-habanero twist. The pork melts in your mouth, and the baby potatoes soak up all that rich, tangy goodness. This place doesn’t just serve food—it serves kilig in every dish. Can’t wait to come back and keep building memories here!

The meal was incredible. Service from Parada was attentive, friendly and helpful. Love Wild Ginger and the staff is always great. Always makes you feel good when the restaurant manager recognizes and acknowledges you! Keep up the great work!

I ordered the moonraker roll and a soft shell crab large portions and absolutely the best soft shell crab I’ve ever had! The roll was out of control as well, The lychee martini was top notch with a fresh lychee fruit garnish
