Asian Restaurants in Prague

Asian food in Prague isn’t just about sushi or pad thai at tourist traps. The city has a mix of spots where expats and locals alike find authentic flavors that don’t feel like a compromise. Head over to Vinohrady or Žižkov and you’ll stumble upon small Vietnamese spots serving pho that locals swear by, or Korean places where the barbecue and kimchi flow freely. But don’t stop there. If you’re into Chinese, try the small family-run joints hidden in lesser-known parts of the Old Town – the kind with menus mostly in Czech and Chinese and a steady stream of regulars.

One tip? Skip the prime Old Town Square area for dining. Instead, explore the lively districts across the river or around Jiřího z Poděbrad for authentic bites that won’t cost a fortune. Also, Asian grocery shops doubling as takeout spots can surprise you with quick dumplings or bento boxes that aren’t listed on any big review site. Trust me, you’ll want to have some cash on you and don’t expect flawless English everywhere. That’s part of the charm. For a real late-night fix, some Thai joints around Wenceslas Square stay open late and deliver spicy dishes not for the faint-hearted.
