The 2025 OAD Top Restaurants in Asia: Complete Ranking

Sorn is a Southern Thai restaurant in Bangkok.

Zén is a restaurant on Bukit Pasoh Road in Singapore.

WING is a restaurant at The Wellington on Wellington Street in Central, Hong Kong.

Hong Kong's first outpost of Shanghai's acclaimed Ningbo seafood specialist, where chef Liu Zhen flies East China Sea fish daily and replicates the flagship's most complex recipes; including the wine-marinated raw mud crab that anchors the Michelin-starred menu. At HK$$$$ and with preordering required for signature dishes, it's a proposition for diners chasing regional Chinese technique that rarely appears in Hong Kong at this polish level.

Jade Dragon is a Cantonese restaurant at City of Dreams Macau.

Odette is worth prioritizing for a polished modern-cuisine meal in central Paris, especially for two diners planning one serious dinner. Cross-shop Granite for a bigger splurge, Halle aux Grains for a similar price tier, and Kitchen by Madame Rêve if value and easier planning matter more.

Mosu Seoul, ranked #41 on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants and #8 on Opinionated About Dining's Asia list for 2025, is one of Seoul's strongest special-occasion options. Chef Sung Anh's creative cuisine format is built for the dining room; this is not a takeout proposition. Booking is easier than many peers at this tier, but reserve two to four weeks ahead for the best availability.

The Chairman is a restaurant at 198 Wellington Street in Central, Hong Kong.

Jung Sang-won's Busan outpost delivers methodical Hanwoo beef exploration; wet-aged female cattle from Majang Market, tableside binchotan grills, and courses from diamond-cut top blade to truffle-soy tataki. La Liste 77pts and Asia's 50 Best #51 anchor the ₩₩₩₩ positioning; book 3–4 weeks out for weekend dinner, slightly easier at lunch.

Robuchon au Dôme is a French restaurant at Grand Lisboa in Macau.

Taizhou cuisine specialist in Wan Chai recognised for ingredient sourcing; East China Sea seafood flown in daily, regional techniques applied with minimal adaptation. Black Pearl one-diamond and OAD Asia #17 (2026). Worth booking if you value supply-chain transparency over Cantonese familiarity; easier to secure than most award-holding peers.

Sühring is a restaurant in Bangkok founded by Thomas and Mathias Sühring.

102 House is Shanghai's strongest current case for Cantonese fine dining: two Michelin stars, #29 on Asia's 50 Best, and a #16 OAD Asia ranking in 2025. At ¥¥¥¥ on the Bund, it is the right booking for a serious occasion, but reservations are near impossible on short notice. Plan weeks to months ahead.

Forum holds three Michelin stars and ranks #17 on OAD Asia 2025, making it one of Hong Kong's most decorated Cantonese restaurants. At the $$$$ price point, it rewards diners who are fully committed to the tasting menu format; the lunch option offers better value for return visitors. Book four to six weeks out minimum; this is not a walk-in restaurant.

Sushi Shikon is an omakase restaurant at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong.

Seventh Son is the strongest value case in Hong Kong's Cantonese dining tier: a Michelin-starred, Black Pearl 2 Diamond kitchen ranked in OAD's Top 20 for Asia three consecutive years, operating at the $$ price point. The classical barbecue programme and technically demanding traditional dishes make it a clear book; if you can get a reservation.

Mingles is a restaurant in Seoul's Gangnam district.

Ta Vie is a Hong Kong restaurant combining seasonal Asian produce with modern French cooking techniques.

Godenya is one of Hong Kong's hardest tables to secure: a tiny Michelin-starred kappo omakase in Central where sake pairing, not wine, drives the menu. Ranked #25 in Asia by OAD in 2025, it earns the effort and the $$$$ price; but only if you are genuinely committed to both the fixed format and the drinks program. Book months ahead.

Sing Gor Private Kitchen is one of Macau's most credible Cantonese addresses outside the casino resort circuit, ranking on the Opinionated About Dining Top Restaurants in Asia list three consecutive years (including #22 in 2024). The private kitchen format means limited seating and a fixed menu; not a walk-in option, but worth planning around if serious Cantonese cooking is the objective.

Andō is a restaurant on Wellington Street in Central, Hong Kong.

A Michelin-starred, $$ restaurant on Hollywood Road with Asia's 50 Best recognition and a late kitchen (11:30 PM, six nights). Chef David Lai's rotating seafood-heavy tapas menu and pre-order sharing platters make it one of Hong Kong's clearest value cases at its award level. Book three to four weeks out minimum; walk-ins are not realistic.

Mono is a restaurant on On Lan Street in Central, Hong Kong.

Nusara is a restaurant on Maha Rat Road in Bangkok.

Set on one of the Gothic Quarter's most atmospheric squares, a Restaurant brings a French-Asian kitchen to the heart of Ciutat Vella. Chef Patrick Kriss has earned consecutive Opinionated About Dining recognition across European and North American rankings, placing the restaurant in a cross-continental comparable set that few Barcelona addresses occupy. The format rewards advance planning: this is not a walk-in proposition.

logy is a restaurant in Taipei's Neihu District.

Potong serves Thai-Chinese cuisine in a historic Yaowaraj shophouse in Bangkok.

JL Studio is a restaurant in Taichung's Nantun District.

Baan Tepa is a restaurant on Ramkhamhaeng Road in Bangkok, rooted in local terroir and tradition.

Orfali Bros is a family-led restaurant in Dubai serving a contemporary expression of Middle Eastern cuisine.

Meta is a restaurant on Mohamed Sultan Road in Singapore.

Seroja is a restaurant at Duo Galleria in Singapore.

Burnt Ends is a Singapore restaurant centered on cooking with custom ovens and a brick kiln.

The clearest answer to high-end Korean dining in Hong Kong, Hansik Goo runs a single 10-course tasting menu built around modern takes on Korean classics; think abalone dumpling and ginseng rice; with makgeolli and wine pairings available. Ranked #41 in OAD's Asia list (2025) and holding a Black Pearl 1 Diamond, it's a well-credentialled choice for a special occasion in Central that doesn't default to European fine dining.

Kwonsooksoo is Seoul's most rigorous argument for Korean fermentation as fine dining. Chef Kwon Woo-joong's tasting menu; built on housemade pastes, kimchi, and fermented seafood; holds two Michelin stars and ranks #42 in Asia by OAD in 2025. Booking is near-impossible; plan months ahead and request counter seats for the fullest experience.

Dewakan is a restaurant at Skyviews in Naza Tower, Kuala Lumpur.

Lung King Heen is a restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong.

Ranked #45 on Opinionated About Dining's Top Restaurants in Asia (2025) and a Star Wine List #1 holder, Belon is among Hong Kong's most credentialled French restaurants. The seven-course tasting menu with wine pairing is the way to go. Easy to book relative to peers, it's a reliable choice for a celebration dinner or serious date night in Central.

Gaggan Anand is a restaurant on Sukhumvit 31 in Bangkok.

Les Amis serves French haute cuisine at Shaw Centre in Singapore.

A Michelin Plate restaurant at €€ pricing, L'Envol delivers precise farm-to-table cooking, a flexible three-to-eight course menu structure, and a sommelier-led cellar of 800-plus labels. Booking is easier than its credential set suggests. The best time to visit is late spring through early summer, when Provence's seasonal produce drives the kitchen at its peak.

Jungsik is a Korean restaurant in Seoul's Gangnam District.

Waku Ghin is a Japanese restaurant at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

Tate Dining Room and Bar is a restaurant on Hollywood Road in Hong Kong.

Jin Sha is a restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at West Lake.

Caprice is a French restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong.

Cloudstreet is a restaurant on Amoy Street in Singapore.

Amber serves modern French cuisine at Mandarin Oriental The Landmark in Hong Kong.

Fu He Hui is a restaurant on Yuyuan Road in Shanghai.

Paste is one of Bangkok's most credible cases for serious Thai fine dining at the ฿฿฿ price tier. Chef Bee Satongun draws from royal Thai tradition, producing technically precise, layered cooking with a Michelin Plate, OAD Top 60 Asia ranking (2025), and Black Pearl 1 Diamond. Open daily for lunch and dinner at Gaysorn Centre, Phloen Chit; and easy to book.

Gaa is a modern Indian restaurant in a traditional Thai house in Bangkok.

Born is Zor Tan's contemporary restaurant in Singapore's former Jinrikisha Station.

Thevar is a restaurant on Mohamed Sultan Road in Singapore.

Chef Ivan Brehm's "crossroads cooking" concept layers recurring motifs like vanilla and turmeric across a tasting-menu-only progression, building from lighter flavors to a richer climax. The chef's counter offers the clearest view of technique; book Wednesday or Thursday lunch for a quieter experience and more interaction with the kitchen. Opinionated About Dining ranks it #78 in Asia (2026), and it holds one Michelin star plus a three-star wine accreditation; expect high-end pricing and a conceptually ambitious meal.

Labyrinth holds a Michelin star, an Asia's 50 Best ranking (#37 in 2025), and one of Singapore's most sought-after reservations. Chef LG Han's set menu reconstructs Singaporean hawker classics using high-quality local ingredients and precise technique. At $$$, it is the strongest option in the city for modern Singaporean cuisine; book several weeks ahead and expect near-impossible availability on short notice.

Made in China ranks among the more reliable Chinese dining bookings in Beijing's Dongcheng district, backed by three consecutive years on the Opinionated About Dining Asia list (most recently #66 in 2025). Booking is easy relative to peers, making it a strong fallback when tighter reservations elsewhere are unavailable. Come for dinner, order broadly, and go in prepared; this is a venue that rewards deliberate diners over casual visitors.

Estro is Antimo Maria Merone's Italian restaurant in Central, Hong Kong.

Candlenut is Singapore's most credentialed Peranakan restaurant; Michelin one-star, OAD #69 in Asia (2025), and a Black Pearl Diamond; at a $$ price point that makes it one of the city's clearest value cases for serious dining. Chef Malcolm Lee's tasting menu changes every two months and leans into Indonesian influences that set it apart from more conventional Straits-Chinese Peranakan cooking. Book in advance; this is not a walk-in restaurant.

Arbor is a restaurant on Queen's Road Central in Hong Kong.

Xin Rong Ji (Financial District) is worth booking when the brief is polished Taizhou cuisine in Beijing, especially for a seasonal seafood-led meal or a business dinner. Choose it over flashier Western formats if regional Chinese cooking is the priority; look elsewhere if the group wants a louder room or a broader international menu.

Ru Yuan is a restaurant in Hangzhou's Xihu district.

La Yeon at THE SHILLA Seoul holds two Michelin stars and a sustained position on OAD's Asia Top Restaurants list, making it Seoul's clearest answer for formal hansik at hotel scale. Book private dining if your occasion demands it; the main room is excellent, but the private setting materially changes the experience. Secure reservations eight to twelve weeks out minimum; peak seasons require more.

Sushi Tokami has held a place in Opinionated About Dining's Asia Top 100 for three consecutive years, peaking at #62 in 2024; making it one of the more consistently recognised sushi counters in Hong Kong. Book it for a special occasion or business dinner where an omakase format suits the group. Advance reservations of two to three weeks are sensible for weekends.

Chaat at Rosewood Hong Kong is a Michelin-starred, OAD Top 100 Indian restaurant operating at a mid-range price point; an unusual value equation in the city's fine-dining market. The kitchen covers street food and ambitious Indian classics with equal seriousness. Book at least two to three weeks out; this one fills fast.

Meet the Bund is a restaurant on Guangdong Road near Shanghai's Bund.

Lai Ching Heen at the Regent Hong Kong earned Black Pearl two-diamond recognition in 2026 for classical Cantonese technique that stands on its own merit rather than hotel convenience. The harbour-view dining room delivers refined seasonal preparations with easier booking than most peer-level Cantonese restaurants in the city. Worth a dedicated visit for serious Cantonese cooking in a business-appropriate setting.

Roganic holds a Michelin star and has ranked in Opinionated About Dining's Asia top 50 for three consecutive years. The 2025 shift to a sharing-style set menu makes it a strong pick for groups of two to four who appreciate precise, sourcing-led modern British cooking. Book two to three weeks out; weekend tables fill quickly.

New Punjab Club holds a Michelin star and three consecutive Opinionated About Dining Asia top-100 placements, making it the most credentialed Indian restaurant in Hong Kong at the $$$ price point. The tandoor-led Punjabi and Pakistani menu; centred on the 'Mughal Room Makhani' butter chicken, goat seekh kebab, and keema pau; is best experienced in the cooler winter months. Book two to four weeks ahead; walk-ins are not realistic.

A Michelin Selected neo-bistro in Makati ranked #82 in Asia by Opinionated About Dining (2025), Metiz is the pick for food-focused diners who want technically precise cooking; French method, Philippine ingredients; without the ceremony of Manila's more theatrical tasting menus. Booking is easy, making it one of the more accessible serious tables in the city.

Casa Don Alfonso is Macau's strongest Italian fine dining option, drawing on its Campanian lineage and backed by a 500,000-bottle wine cellar with 3-Star World of Fine Wine accreditation. Ranked #83 in Asia by Opinionated About Dining (2025), it is the right booking for a formal occasion or a serious wine dinner at the $$$ price tier. Booking is straightforward with reasonable advance notice.

Don Alfonso 1890 brings Neapolitan cuisine and Amalfi Coast provenance to a Donatella Versace-designed room on the Cotai Strip. A Michelin Plate holder (2025) at $$$, it sits below the $$$$ tier of Macau's top fine dining but delivers genuinely sourced Italian; farm-imported produce, a 35,000-bottle wine list, and a white truffle tasting menu that earns its place. Book ahead for private dining and the seasonal truffle menu.

Côte by Mauro Colagreco is a restaurant at Capella Bangkok on Charoen Krung Road.

Taian Table is a restaurant on Zhenning Road in Shanghai.

Mume is a restaurant on Siwei Road in Taipei's Da'an District.

Masque is a restaurant at Shree Laxmi Woollen Mills in Mumbai.

Silks House is Taipei's most decorated Cantonese restaurant at $$$ pricing: Tatler Asia-Pacific Restaurant of the Year 2025, Black Pearl 1 Diamond, and an OAD Asia ranking of #88. The 10 private rooms make it the go-to for group occasions. Lunch on a weekday is the smart move; same kitchen, quieter room, better value than the evening banquet crowd.

Haoma is an Indian restaurant in Bangkok's Watthana district.

Nahm is a restaurant at COMO Metropolitan Bangkok.

Book Restaurant Petrus for a polished Central meal where the high-floor setting and wine credibility matter. It is strongest for special-occasion breakfast, client lunch, or dinner with wine; less compelling if the goal is a casual, clearly priced meal.

Alain Ducasse at Morpheus is a restaurant at Morpheus in Macau's City of Dreams.

Chef's Table is a restaurant at State Tower in Bangkok.

Ossiano is a restaurant at Atlantis The Palm in Dubai.

HŌSEKI brings Japanese omakase-style cooking to Delaire Graff Estate on Stellenbosch's Helshoogte Pass, with chef Masahiro Sugiyama at the counter. Ranked #97 on Opinionated About Dining's Top Restaurants in Asia for 2025, it occupies a genuinely anomalous position in South Africa's wine country, a serious Japanese address with a track record of rising recognition across three consecutive years.

Sushi Masato is Bangkok's most credentialed omakase counter, recognised by Michelin, La Liste, and Opinionated About Dining across multiple consecutive years. Chef Masato Shimizu flies fish daily from Tokyo's Toyosu Market, with menus that shift meaningfully by season. At the ฿฿฿฿ price point, it competes with counters in Tokyo and Hong Kong; and costs less than either.

Le Du is a Bangkok restaurant whose name and cooking emphasize seasonal produce.

Carbone Hong Kong brings the New York Italian-American formula; red-sauce classics, service theatre, and a room built for celebration; to Central's Wyndham Street. Three consecutive Opinionated About Dining Asia rankings and a Michelin Plate confirm consistent execution. At $$$, it earns the price if atmosphere matters as much as the food; for more technically serious Italian, 8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana is the alternative.

SoftBank Private Kitchen is a private-format Cantonese restaurant in Sheung Wan run by chef Chow Wai Tak, ranked #102 on the Opinionated About Dining Top Restaurants in Asia list in 2025. Book through introduction or prior contact; there's no public phone or website. Best for small groups who want serious, chef-led Cantonese cooking without the hotel-dining structure.

Tin Lung Heen is a Cantonese restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong in the International Commerce Centre.

A Michelin-starred Italian restaurant on the 102nd floor of the ICC, Tosca di Angelo is Hong Kong's go-to for occasion dining with serious cooking behind it. Chef Angelo Agliano's Sicilian-Mediterranean menu holds up on its own terms, while the city views and Ritz-Carlton service make it the most complete fine-dining package at the $$$ price tier. Book well in advance; no online reservations.

Akame is the right booking for a special occasion dinner in southern Taiwan: a wood-fired Rukai tasting experience in Wutai Township with three consecutive years on OAD's Top Restaurants in Asia list (ranked #105 in 2025) and Tatler Asia-Pacific recognition. Open Wednesday to Sunday, 6 pm to midnight. Book via Instagram as soon as your dates are confirmed.

Three consecutive Opinionated About Dining Asia rankings and a Michelin Plate make Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck Singapore's most consistently credentialed duck specialist. At $$, it delivers peer-reviewed quality at a price that undercuts most fine-dining Chinese alternatives in the city. Book it if the duck is your objective; visit during Lunar New Year or Mid-Autumn Festival for the fullest menu.
