Asian Restaurants in Asturias

If you’re craving Asian food while in Asturias, you might be surprised by how many solid spots you can find beyond the usual tapas joints.

In Oviedo, places like Wasabi offer sushi that’s fresher than you’d expect for a city this size. It’s not flashy, just straightforward Japanese done well. Over in Gijón, I’ve often popped into Ramen House down by the marina when I wanted a really warming bowl during the cold months. Their broth is rich but never too heavy, and it feels like a little comfort bubble.

Chinese restaurants here vary a lot. Some stick to the basics, but you'll find a few hidden places where families go, especially around Avilés. Don’t be shy about ordering a bit off-menu if you want something more authentic,locals usually have their favorites, and sometimes the secret’s in the sauces they bring out last minute.

If you’re visiting in spring or early summer, trying Asian fusion on a terrace can be brilliant,places sometimes mix in local cider or Asturian cheeses in unexpected ways. Just a heads-up: not every place serves all Asian cuisines, so if you’re eyeing Thai or Korean, call ahead. And if you want my honest opinion, skip the buffets. Freshness matters with Asian food, and Asturias has enough genuine spots to avoid those all-you-can-eat spots where they cut corners.

A quick tip about Asian eats

If you want something a little different, keep an eye out for pop-ups or special events in Oviedo where chefs from Asia come through. I once caught a Korean chef doing a weekend special in a local tavern, and it was mind-blowing. Also, many Asturias Asian restaurants adjust their menus seasonally, adding local produce like mushrooms or cider-marinated dishes for a fun twist.

And if you’re stuck wondering where to start, just ask the staff what they’d pick on a slow day , most spots are happy to share their favorite hidden dishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about Asian food in Asturias? Here's what I’m often asked.

For sushi, I’d head to Oviedo’s Wasabi or Gijón’s Sushi Rock. They’re reliable without overdoing it. Fresh fish isn’t always easy here, but these spots handle it well.

Definitely! Gijón’s Ramen House is my go-to, especially in winter. Their broth feels homemade and not too salty, which is nice since a lot of ramen places overdo it.

You’ll find decent authentic Chinese mainly around Avilés and Oviedo. Avoid touristy buffets and look for family-run joints. They’re quieter but usually better quality.

Yes, but it depends on the place. Japanese spots often have veggie sushi or tempura, and some Thai restaurants include vegan options. It’s best to double-check the menu or ask since ingredients can vary.

Not really street food stalls like you’d see in Asia, but some restaurants try to capture that feeling with small plates and casual settings, especially in Oviedo’s food markets.
