What to order

  • Noodle soup: pho or ramen — Vietnamese pho for a clear, aromatic broth with herbs on the side; Japanese ramen for a rich, fatty one. Both are best at shops that make little else.
  • Dumplings and small plates: dim sum or izakaya — Cantonese dim sum is a daytime meal of shared steamed and fried dumplings; a Japanese izakaya is the evening version, small plates built for drinking.
  • Grilled meat: Korean barbecue or yakitori — Korean barbecue is cooked at the table with banchan alongside; yakitori is skewered chicken over charcoal, ordered a few sticks at a time.
  • Something fresh: Vietnamese or Thai salads — Fresh rolls, bun noodle salads, Thai larb and green papaya salad: sour, salty, herby and light. The best answer on a hot day.

How to spot a good one

  • One cuisine, cooked properly — A restaurant that cooks one country's food, or one region's, almost always cooks it better than a pan-Asian menu with sushi, pad Thai and General Tso's chicken on the same page.
  • A second menu, or specials on the wall — A section in the cuisine's own language, or a handwritten list of specials, usually means the kitchen is cooking for people who grew up eating the food.
  • Rice and noodles treated seriously — Fragrant jasmine rice, sushi rice that is seasoned and close to body temperature, noodles with spring rather than mush. The starch is where shortcuts show first.
