Best Asian Food Restaurants in Marrero

"Luvi is one of the best restaurants to open in New Orleans in the last few years, a petite and colorful Uptown cottage where chef Hao Gong wows with his mastery of Japanese and Chinese cuisines. Gong, who worked for years at Sake Cafe, delivers raw and nearly raw fish paired with the likes of cucumber and yuzu vinegar and pink dragon fruit, as well as Shanghai comfort food like dumplings, dan dan noodles, and bam bam chicken. The menu changes often, but can always be counted on for a range of hot and cold delights."

"Japanese yellow tail, dragon fruit , lotus chips, cucumber, sesame soy vinegar, sour plum powder #luvilove @eltonsczhou. LUVI Restaurant is the place to go to if you want to indulge in the many flavors of Shanghai and beyond. It is a fantastic and truly unique Chinese restaurant with a rich menu that is usually accompanied by great service."

"5236 Tchoupitoulas St., (504) 605-3340; www.luvirestaurant.com. Mala Holla is spicy beef with cilantro, peanuts and ghost chili oil. Reservations accepted."

"Although Marjie's Grill on South Broad grew out of a love story, it's not a hearts and flowers kind of place. On their first Valentine's Day, chef/owner Marcus Jacobs and partner Caitlin Carney were featuring an Offal Valentine's Day menu, with organ meats in the spotlight to inspire canoodling. The pair, who met working together at Herbsaint, opened a sunny little spot on the busy South Broad corridor just off of Canal Street, a savory, homey place where flavors are bold, ingredients are local and "garbage" fish like Sheepshead are proudly featured."

"Marjie’s Grill opened in 2016 and has remained a staple in New Orleans. This New Orleans restaurant is a fusion of Asian inspired dishes with a special New Orleans twist. They are known for catering events, but one of the coolest aspects of this restaurant is that their menu changes daily."

"Honey-buttered Yard Bird is a slow-cooked locally raised chicken basted with Louisiana honey butter. Reservations accepted for large parties. Lunch Mon.-Fri., dinner Mon.-Sat."

"Located at the corner of St. Claude and St. Roch avenues, across from the bright orange Healing Center that includes the New Orleans Food Co-Op, the St. Roch Market first opened in 1875 as just one of the city's many public markets. Restored in 2012 with $3.7 million in public funds, the market now includes 13 vendors including two that offer gluten free baked goods. The Market is an easy walk or bike ride from the French Quarter, and it's just across the street from the Marigny."

"Shuttered by Katrina, the one-time seafood market reopened this spring as a pristine food hall with more than a dozen vendors and abundant counter seating throughout. Among the draws are crab cakes from Elysian Seafood, daiquiris and other cocktails from the Mayhaw and local pecans, okra and raw honey sourced by St. Roch Forage. 2381 St. Claude Ave."

"The revitalized market has outdoor seating along St. Claude Avenue. Purchase food inside from one of the vendors. Then, grab a table outside, and watch the neighborhood residents pass you by."

"Gert Town ramen destination Kin paused during the pandemic — it’s a small space, and chef Hieu Than’s meticulously-built bowls of ramen aren’t easy to translate to takeout. In March, however, Than launched ramen kits, and built outdoor seating outside of the small Washington Avenue building. The kits come with perfectly cooked proteins (glazed pork belly, chicken paitan) vacuum-sealed, broth, fresh ramen noodles, and vegetable toppings, packaged intricately and accompanied by instructions."

"4600 Washington Ave., (504) 304-8557; www.facebook.com/kinfordindin. The “fish bowl” features roasted Verlasso salmon, kimchi, greens, sauteed mushrooms and niboshi tare in chicken and clam broth."

"Located at 4600 Washington Ave. in Gert Town, the Japanese spot is the highest rated Japanese restaurant in New Orleans, boasting 4.5 stars out of 288 reviews on Yelp."

"Just as Little Tokyo advertises, they offer food for the adventurous and the not-so-adventurous. From the Chicken Teriyaki Bowl to the Spicy Tuna Rainbow Roll, their versatile menu is sure to please. This is one of my favorite lunch places, mainly because I am a huge fan of their Donburi."

"Sukho Thai endeavors to bring her patrons the true cuisines of Thailand right at the heart of New Orleans. They have an a-la-carte menu designed to be shared by everyone at the table, and each menu item is individually prepared using only the freshest ingredients and secret homemade sauces. This is also one of the very few Asian restaurants where you will find a decent chunk of the menu dedicated to vegan options."

"Drunken Noodles, Dirty Noodles, Rad Da Noodles, Pad Thai and more - the carb overload is well worth it at Sukho Thai. In addition to their expansive noodle selection, this authentic Thai eatery offers a range of wok dishes, curries, vegan options and gluten-free choices. With locations in Uptown New Orleans and the Marigny, paying a visit to Sukho Thai is as convenient as it is delicious."

"SukhoThai, serving our "Classical Thai Cuisine" in New Orleans since 2003, is the only restaurant in Louisiana awarded a Thai Select Premium certification by the Royal Thai Government for quality Thai cuisine, superior service and beautiful interior design. We are well known for our excellent...Más"

"Experience the flavors of Hong Kong in New Orleans’ Lakeview at Ming’s. This casual Cantonese eatery’s menu includes American Chinese favorites like fried rice, lo mein and egg foo young. Or opt for Chef Ming Joe’s creations that combine the flavors of his hometown with a pinch of New Orleanian flare like Crawfish Velvet - a stir-fried crawfish dish with pork and black beans in a savory egg-white sauce."

"Tucked away by a Lakeview shopping center, Ming’s isn’t a typical Chinese joint. This Cantonese restaurant is open, airy, sans red dragon decor, and offers outside seating. There are cheap traditional lunch specials but chef and owner Ming Joe has a few tricks up his sleeve."

"The only place around that serves traditional dim sum from push carts, Panda King on the West Bank has always drawn hordes to the Hong Kong brunch of steamed dumplings, baked buns, roasted duck, and pork. It’s still serving authentic dim sum off the menu for dining in and for takeout, and with rigorous safety precautions in place, cart service is offered on weekends."

"China Orchid in the Riverbend neighborhood has been around for more than 25 years, first opened by the mother of Joe Ming, proprietor of Ming’s in Lakeview. Ming’s mother, Susan, taught him how to cook Chinese food in the kitchen of the family-owned Uptown restaurant, which changed hands in 1992. It’s still a neighborhood go-to for Chinese takeout, with an extensive menu and delivery available."

"Carrollton Ave., (504) 865-1428; www.chinaorchidneworleans.com. An orange peel beef combo platter includes an egg roll, fried rice and egg drop or hot and sour soup."

"Tours run twice every evening (5pm and 8pm) and include visits to the Lalaurie Mansion (where American Horror Story Coven was filmed), LaFitte’s Blacksmith Shop, and more. Our guide had plenty of creepy tales to share and clearly believed a lot of the ghost stories herself, which made it all the more fun. Our tour group was a little on the larger side, but otherwise, the experience was entertaining."

"Wander down to Governor Nicholls Street to see Lalaurie Mansion, once the home of actor Nicholas Cage, and one of the homes used for American Horror Story Coven. There are also other fancy homes like the New Orleans home of Angelina Jolie down this beautiful street."

"Located on the corner of North Rampart Street, the Our Lady of Guadalupe Church is the oldest house of worship in New Orleans. Originally named the Mortuary Chapel of St. Anthony of Padua, the place of worship was built in 1826 to serve as a burial church for the victims of yellow fever. The current name of the church was received in 1918."

"7742 Highway 23, Belle Chasse, (504) 393-7303; www.salvosseafood.com. The Half and Half plate includes two choices of fried shrimp, catfish, oysters, clams or stuffed crab."

"One of the city’s most celebrated delicacies is also a New Orleans cheap eats score in this bustling Uptown spot. Beloved for many reasons, including its 25-cent oysters, the Blind Pelican features a courtyard that’s an ideal setting to while away an afternoon. And, over-the-top generous happy hours from 4 to 8 every single day of the week make that an easy goal."

"This is right across the street from Auberge New Orleans, so the host recommended it for lunch. It also is most famous for its $0.25 oysters. There was a weird moment where it was closed after I visited along with some drama."
