The Asian - Muscat

I highly recommend this place for the best Asian food in the city, especially their delicious Tum Yum soup.

This hidden gem of a restaurant on Sultan Qaboos Street is a delightful find. They offer a surprisingly good selection of sushi for those looking to try something new, with the Californian rolls being a standout. The ambiance is pleasant and the staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. For the best view, opt for a seat on the ground floor.

The Asian restaurant offers a fusion of Southeast Asian cuisine from Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and a touch of Chinese influence. They also feature a special menu for sushi enthusiasts. The flavors are unique and refreshing. During our latest visit, we sampled the “Deli Fried Platter”, fried wontons, and Bangkok chicken noodle soup. The soup had a Thai masala curry broth with a distinct taste. The fried items were crispy and delicious. The Deli Platter was a tantalizing combination of fried calamari, baked vegetable toast, chicken wings, chicken strips, a generous serving of vegetables, and fragrant coriander rice. All dishes were fresh, juicy, and flavorful. The platter is perfect for a group of 4 and is reasonably priced. This is an excellent spot for those craving Southeast Asian flavors. We did notice a slight decline in service compared to previous visits, but this can easily be rectified.

The Asian is one of the most popular fusion Thai-Chinese restaurants which Asians prefer as they don't make the authentic Chinese food. The ambience is very nice with a colourful theme reflected on their walls and furniture. We ordered Hot and Sour Soup which wasn't as spicy as we expected it to be but the taste was good. Chicken lollipop as starter is one of their running item on the menu. Make sure to order a spicy gravy along with Hakka noodles and fried rice as both are bland. They also have a good selection of Mojitos (priced between OMR 1.700 and 2.000) Staff is very kind, polite and courteous and make you feel comfortable and patiently help you with the menu options. Overall a good dining experience either with friends or with family.

Had a nice non veg platter, very much satisfactory, the waiters were kind and helped us with the quantity and suggesting what to order according to our taste, price is average, definitely a must go If you like south Asian food, the ambiance is very likable too, very easy to get parking
