Best Asian Restaurants in Lauderdale Beach

I had not been back to Rainbow Palace in almost 30 years. It was outstanding and I am so happy I thought to make a reservation. Definitely will return.

Second time at Takato. Again amazing experience. Had Chefs selection nigiri this time and mochis for dessert. Delicious. Very professional staff. I will certainly return!

my husband and i were a bit discouraged when we came in because there was only one other person there but I'm glad we stayed because the food was absolutely amazing and authentic. we had miso soup, chicken wings, gyoza, spicy tuna roll, and shrimp pad thai with whiskey drinks. so so good, definitely will be returning back,

We had a great time. Our reservation was for 8:15 and they promptly sat us. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. The music was great and we loved the live DJ. The music was a little loud, but not crazy. The food and drinks were ok. A little pricey for the taste. Overall we enjoyed it.

Our only disappointment with the restaurant was not having visited it sooner. Living in the neighborhood, we bypassed it many times before venturing out on a Monday night. To our amazement, the food, the ambiance and service were beyond expectations. Our server, Thomas, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. His recommendation of a variation of our usual unfiltered sake was right on. Walking us through the menu, we selected the tuna tower, the Korean barbecue with rice, the grilled octopus and the crispy duck entre. All were excellent but the octopus and the duck were particularly noteworthy. Having worked in Turkey for many years, we can appreciate the correct way to tenderize and char grill octopus. Here, it was done to perfection. Likewise, the duck was crispy on the outside yet still moist on the inside after being sliced and quartered. The outside seating was not overcrowded like many similar venues, and the volume of the music did not preclude us from having strained conversations. While pricey by some Fort Lauderdale standards, it was well worth. Lastly, we were pleased that are open table reservation was promptly honored notwithstanding a busy restaurant.
