It’s no wonder that Asian restaurants are so popular everywhere, because they make some of the tastiest dishes all over the planet — including in Alcoa, TN and Knoxville, TN. There’s no shortage of tempting Asian flavors across the area, a few of which we mention here in case you’re as big a fan of these cuisines as we are.
1. Nama Sushi Bar
This Japanese mini-chain with 3 local locations is popular for its sushi, of course, but also its hot items such as kaki panko (breaded fried oysters) for starters, fish and shrimp tacos, and sesame beef tips. There’s a big selection of specialty rolls as well as the traditional nigiri and sashimi styles. How about a tofu Caprese vegetarian roll? There’s quite a lunch selection, too, in case you want to come back for more another time.
2. Ming Tree Chinese Restaurant
Serving a big selection of Chinese and Thai flavors, this spot can start you with a Volcano Plate for two (a flaming platter of 6 appetizers), and you could choose one of many soups, where the noodle bowl also lets you pick a meat or vegetable as the star. There are 8 more pages of menu that will keep you busy deciding between steak Hong Kong style, the Happy Couple with ribeye and chicken, lobster Mandarin style, and more.
3. Sticky Rice Cafe
Featuring the less commonly found Laotian style of cuisine, this cafe points out that you are supposed to eat the sticky rice with your fingers. Start with some crunch with a choice of fried rolls or maybe crab Rangoon, and look ahead to fried, marinated quail with hot sauce. Go for Lao sausages or their specialty, the Phorrito, a spicy beef creation in a flour tortilla. There are noodle soups and minced meat laabs, grilled pork chops, curries, and more.
4. WokChow Fire Seared Asian
For a one-stop, pan-Asian experience, head for the WokChow. It’s a popular destination for such specials as Singapore fried rice, sushi rolls, Thai-style curries, and Chinese chicken favorites like General Tso’s. Have a Mongolian plate with your choice of protein, or stick with any of the classic chicken dishes like the sweet and sour, the bourbon chicken, or the orange chicken. Or mix and match meal elements with their Create-A-Wok!
5. Kaizen
For a multinational take on the Japanese izakaya dining style, Kaizen offers creative specialties that include hot and sour duck noodles, peanut noodles, and a selection of steamed buns filled with treats like fried shrimp, pork belly, and Thai sausage. You can get items like mapo doufu, Thai chicken noodles, and mushroom fried rice, but there’s also takoyaki octopus fritters, spicy pork fat noodles, a kimchi BBQ chicken bun, and more to explore.
Doesn’t a delicious Asian dinner sound great? Your new Toyota Tacoma SR5 V6 will be just the ride to take out for takeout, no matter the weather. Or, maybe you’d like a secondhand number like the always popular Toyota Camry LE and feel good going out for noodles as often as you want.
