Best Asian Restaurant in Ljubljana


Embark on an Asian culinary odyssey in Ljubljana, where a vibrant tapestry of flavours awaits. From the aromatic spices of Indian cuisine to the delicate artistry of Japanese sushi, the city offers a diverse array of Asian restaurants. Each establishment, a gateway to a different corner of the continent, promises a palate-pleasing adventure for enthusiasts of Asian gastronomy. Here's our nominees, it's a touch choice but which one will you vote for?

Sushimama

The first - and for a long time only - Japanese restaurant in Slovenia, the small and intimate Sushimama’s interesting little touches beyond the actual food include a subscription to Wallpaper magazine and the brave act of putting the head Japanese sushi chef Hiroki Ishikawa on display as he works in the restaurant. The extensive menu features every Japanese favourite from soups to noodle soups, a number of delicate rice and noodle-based dishes to of course the sushi itself. Read more...

Tloft

This modern, trendy eatery brings the best bits of Asian cuisine to Ljubljana, with an always interesting fusion menu combining interpretations of flavourful Japanese ramen, spicy Thai red curry, tender Korean bulgogi and lots more. The selection of sushi and original starters such as pulled pork buns and gyoza are great for ordering a few of and sharing with friends, while the range of teas is one of the best in town, and Tloft is the place to enjoy an authentic Chinese tea ceremony or bubble tea.

Tokyo Piknik

Despite what the name may suggest, Tokyo Piknik offers a whole range of Asian cuisine as well as more recognisable Western dishes. With plenty of outdoor seating by the river, it represents another excellent option for a casual afternoon lunch or an atmospheric evening meal, another string to Ljubljana’s growing bow of Asian food. It also happens to be the only real ramen bar in Slovenia, and all the noodles you will gorge on are completely hand-made. Regardless of the time of day, the desserts are wonderful, both the taste and the aesthetics. Read more...

Sato Bento

Hidden away in Ljubljana's aesthetically-challenged (to put it diplomatically) Ledina Center complex, chef Shin Sato's omakase dining experience is definitely one to try while you're in town. The food is incredible, the endless plates of perfectly presented food that appear from the tiny kitchen are a sight to behold, and what's even more astonishing, is that the evening won't leave you light in the pocket. Do book ahead though, this small cosy space is a local secret. Read more...

Beli Labod

This super Chinese restaurant is owned and run by the same family that brought Master Noodle’s Bar to the city. When you have more time to relax then take a table and try their wider menu of traditional Chinese cuisine. They offer a large selection of meat, seafood, chicken and duck dishes, including the ever popular crispy duck. Vegetarians are also well catered for with many tofu, soy and vegetable recipes that really pack a punch with flavour. Complement your meal with Chinese or local beers, wines and juices. Read more...

OnThai

If you've ever been to Bangkok, you already know that the best Thai food can usually be found at the makeshift kitchens of the countless street vendors tucked away down seemingly every alleyway in the bustling capital, so it should come as no surprise that Ljubljana's best Thai food comes from the kitchen of this small takeaway on Gregorčičeva Ulica. However, while both the surroundings and the menu are modest in size, the pedigree of the two Thai chefs who run the place are quite impressive, each having more than a decade of experience in high-end restaurants from SE Asia, North America and finally Slovenia. Read more...

The majority of the dishes on the menu are Thai, including venerable favourites such as Pad Thai and Tom Yum soup, and their authenticity is assured by the fact that the entire cooking staff is from Thailand. Read more...
