Best Asian Restaurants in Gosford

Favourite Thai restaurant on the Central Coast. Food is delicious with heaps on the menu. Favourite dishes are crispy soft-shell crab entré, pad thai pork belly and penang duck curry. Staff are lovely and ambience is a fun family vibe.

Everything is all nicely and enjoyable! Thinking go back in next day!

A smaller menu, but with great options to suit everyone. The food is seriously delicious, with amazing flavours throughout. The only downside is that it can get quite loud inside when the venue is full, but overall, a fantastic dining experience!

Very friendly and attentive service from waitresses serving us, great cocktails and food. Can't go wrong at MAEW MAEW which is an institution in Terrigal. Will be back again soon to try all the other yummy things on the menu.

We came to Jihomakase for my dad’s birthday and had such a lovely lunch. The whole experience was very personal — the chef runs everything himself, from preparing and explaining the ingredients to serving each dish. He is Korean, but his Japanese cuisine is beautifully done. Everything felt clean, precise and well organised, and there was absolutely no strong fishy smell in the restaurant. We chose the lunch omakase at around $80 per person for about 10 courses. It was perfect for us as we had older family members who don’t eat huge portions. If you have a bigger appetite, definitely ask about the extra dishes — we added wagyu for each of us, plus a bottle of Kubota sake, and it made the meal just right. The restaurant is very small and intimate, with only around eight seats around the kitchen. Sitting at the counter means you can watch the whole process, which was probably my favourite part. The chef also explained and showed us the ingredients as he prepared them. He told us he personally selects the ingredients every morning, which really came through in the quality. For my dad’s birthday, he even prepared an extra mango mochi-style dessert and wished my dad “万寿无疆” (wishing him a long and healthy life) in Chinese. Such a thoughtful little touch. The whole lunch took around two hours and felt very relaxed and smooth. There are also plenty of sake options if you enjoy sake. At the end, the chef personally walked us to the door, which was a lovely way to finish the meal. Overall, a really comfortable and thoughtful omakase experience. Highly recommended for a small celebration, a date, or if you want to take your parents somewhere special without an overly formal or rushed atmosphere. One tip: if you’re worried $80 won’t be enough for a bigger appetite, just quietly ask the chef about extra dishes. He’s happy to add more for an additional charge. We’ll definitely come back. ❤️
