Readers' Choice Roundup - Asian Restaurants
Readers, We asked for our opinions last week on the best Asian restaurants and you answered!
Today we offer you a roundup of the top picks from a dozen participating Patch sites. Some asked readers to pick from a wide array of Asian eateries, and some asked their local communities to take a look at a narrow category such as sushi or Thai.
Here are the places that you, the readers, told us are tops:
- The best sushi bar in Smyrna-Vinings is Maru Sushi.
- Oriental Cafe won the title of Best Asian food in South Cobb.
- In Sandy Springs, Bangkok Thyme edged out Canton Cooks by one vote for Best Asian.
- Grand China won the Buckhead Patch poll of best Chinese restaurants.
- Midtown residents chose Mu Lan Restaurant as their favorite Chinese restaurant in the community.
- And Cascade residents chose Mu Lan Asian Cuisine as best Chinese.
- East Atlanta Patch readers chose Spoon Eastside as the best Asian eatery.
- In Dunwoody, readers chose Com Vietnamese Grill as best Asian restaurant.
- Brookhaven Patch had a three-way tie for Best Asian: Thai Lanna Authentic Thai Cuisine, Sushi Mania Restaurant and Chin Chin Chinese Restaurant.
- In the North Druid Hills-Briarcliff area, Patch readers recommend Cafe Bombay for the best Indian food.
- In Virginia-Highland/Druid Hills, readers tapped Mali Restaurant as the best place to eat Thai food.
- And in Decatur-Avondale Estates Patch, Sushi Avenue Japanese Restaurant, was chosen as the best in Asian cuisine.

I'm really surprised that there are not any Buford Highway places listed here. I know that these are neighborhood spots that Patch covers - but I think leaving out the fantastic diversity that is offered on Buford Highway for Asian is leaving out some of the best in the city! Dai Loi is the best Pho in the city. Co'm is also amazing. Both of them are Vietnamese and on Buford Hwy just north of Clairmont.

Hi, Jennifer. The Buford Highway corridor is in my coverage area, but I polled on Indian food last week instead of Chinese, Korean or other Asian places. So, that's why no Buford Highway restaurant was named as a poll winner. Most of the Indian restaurants in my Patch are located in North Decatur.

Would also throw in Nam Phuong for their delicious Bun Bo Hue!

New Paradise on Buford Highway across from the CDC/IRS is very good. Don't discount it just because ofthe building they are in.... Penang is up the street in a little asian shopping center on the same side of the road. Yum Yum.

Jonathan - maybe you guys should do a "best of Buford Highway" piece. We go there all of the time and there are so many great places! I'm marking down these from Justin and Bill on my list!

I thought the same thing. The process with this feature is somewhat complicated, but I definitely intend to get one on Buford.
