Asian Restaurants in Madrid

Cocktails (1)

Madrid’s Asian food scene has grown a lot in the past few years. You can find everything from super authentic ramen joints in Chamberí to laid-back Vietnamese spots near Lavapiés. And yes, sushi here isn’t just for tourists – places like Sala de Despiece offer inventive takes that locals swear by.

If you love spicy, then a visit to the Korean spot Manjok Oh My God in Malasaña can be a real treat. Their kimchi and soju combo is unbeatable after a day of sightseeing. On weekends, it fills up fast, so try to get there early or be prepared to wait.

One thing I’ve noticed is that many Asian restaurants around Madrid don’t just replicate flavors from back home; they put their own spin on dishes. Also, look out for smaller, family-run places scattered in less touristy neighborhoods. That’s where the best hidden gems pop up. Oh, and if you want a refreshing break in summer, many Japanese spots serve cold somen noodles that are perfect for Madrid’s heat.

A quick local tip: don’t just rely on the main streets of neighborhoods like Tetuán or Arganzuela. Wander a bit and you’ll find some incredible dumplings and pho joints that often fly under the radar.

A few insider tips

If you want to avoid falling for tourist traps when looking for Asian food in Madrid, steer clear of places right on Gran Vía. Instead, try exploring side streets around neighborhoods like Tetuán or Chamartín. They have small, family-run restaurants where the flavor really shines.

Also, if your trip falls in the winter, look out for restaurants serving hot pots or spicy noodle soups , they’re just the thing to warm you up. Lastly, don’t hesitate to ask locals at smaller venues for their recommendations; many times, they’ll point you to a hole-in-the-wall spot where you’ll get the most authentic meal possible.
