Best Contemporary Asian Restaurants in El Cerrito

Food and the service as good as it can be! Every time.

Incredible. My wife and I like long dinners that give us time to enjoy the food, talk about it and connect. Nisei did exactly that and provided the perfect ambience of a relaxed upscale experience. The staff was excellent, both extremely kind and attentive. Every dish wowed us with complex flavors. We left full and feeling like we at the highest quality ingredients. It was an unforgettable experience.

Seems the Restaurent doesn’t have enough servers. When the only server on Monday lunch time was taking the orders from a big party table, nobody else can come to our table to take orders from our 2-person table. We ended up waiting for 15 minutes and we were hungry at the time.

Made reservations. And promptly seated to the back room. Videos was playing repeatedly on loop. The video said farmhouse Thai but the foods the waitstaff attire did not match completely with the menu we were given. Some foods were spicy and some sweet. Some we needed to prefer multiple orders of appetizer so it would be appropriate for party of 6. Unfortunately the staff didn’t advise us of this. We were given plenty of time without interruptions to Chat amongst ourselves. Overall would definitely recommend this place for groups and intimate dinners.

Delightful Saturday lunch. The Peking Duck and soup were excellent along with the condiments. Honey prawns came at the end of the meal when everyone was full so did not get the enthusiasm that the price dictated. Noodles were very authentic Northern style. Restaurants need more toddler high chairs in good condition. Great experience in Chinatown.
