Best Asian Restaurants in Pearland, TX

Asian restaurants in Pearland, TX are spread along Broadway Street (TX-518) and Shadow Creek Parkway, within the city’s own ZIP codes — no drive into Houston required. Vietnamese pho shops, a Sichuan specialist, Korean BBQ with tabletop grills, Thai kitchens, and Indian street-food spots have all landed in this Brazoria County suburb south of the Beltway.

This guide covers ten restaurants across five cuisines, all confirmed open as of October 2026. One detail to know before you go: Ong Jas Viet Kitchen on Broadway serves stone pot pho — the broth arrives still boiling in a pre-heated stone vessel so the soup stays hot the entire meal. Most pho fans have never seen this outside Asia.

Hours and menus change frequently. Always check the restaurant’s site before you go.

Vietnamese

Ong Jas Viet Kitchen — 11930 Broadway St, Suite 140, Pearland TX 77584

What to order: Stone pot pho, bo ne (sizzling banh mi chao plate), shaking beef over rice.

Ong Jas is built around stone pot pho: the broth comes in a pre-heated stone vessel, still at a full boil when it reaches the table, and stays hot all the way through the meal. The kitchen also serves bo ne — the Vietnamese sizzling breakfast plate with pate, aioli, and banh mi — at lunch and dinner.

The same family is behind Migo Saigon Street Food in Houston’s Asiatown, so the recipes are sourced from experience, not just suburb-friendly approximations.

Typically open Tue–Sat 11am–9pm, Sun 11am–8pm, Mon closed. Check ongjaskitchen.com before going.

Thanh Phuong — 3236 E Broadway St, Pearland TX 77581

What to order: Pho, bo luc lac (shaking beef) — or the game meat menu if you’re curious.

In business since 2003, Thanh Phuong is the old-timer on this list. The name combines the first names of the owner's uncle and aunt — “Uncle Thanh” and “Auntie Phuong” — and their children now help run the kitchen. The surprise is on the specialty menu: alongside traditional pho and shaking beef, the kitchen serves sautéed alligator, venison carpaccio, boar luc lac, and deep-fried rabbit.

Typically open Mon–Sun 11am–9pm. Confirm at thanhphuong-restaurants.com.

Pho L’amour Noodles & Grill — 11901 Shadow Creek Pkwy, Suite 103, Pearland TX 77584

What to order: House pho, banh mi, broken rice plates, vermicelli bowls.

Pho L’amour serves the Shadow Creek Ranch area of western Pearland, which had no dedicated Vietnamese restaurant before this one opened. The menu covers the full range: noodle soups, rice plates, banh mi, and vermicelli bowls. A reliable stop for a quick lunch or a no-fuss weeknight dinner.

Typically open Mon–Sat 10am–9pm, Sun 10am–8pm. Check pholamour.com.

Chinese

Szechuan Spice — 3422 Business Center Dr, Suite 102, Pearland TX 77584

What to order: Dan Dan Noodles, Mapo Tofu, Cumin Lamb, Twice Cooked Pork, Sizzling Black Pepper Beef.

Szechuan Spice sits a few blocks off Broadway in a business park — easy to miss unless you know it’s there. The kitchen opened in late 2019 with an explicit mission: to serve both the Houston Sichuan food scene and the area’s Chinese expatriate community who want the real thing. The Dan Dan Noodles — green vegetable noodles with Sichuan chili sauce and marinated beef — are where to start.

Typically open Mon–Thu 11am–9:30pm, Fri–Sat 11am–10pm. Confirm at theszechuanspice.com.

Korean

Jeju Island Korean BBQ and Sushi — 9415 Broadway St, Suite 123, Pearland TX 77584

What to order: All-you-can-eat Korean BBQ (beef bulgogi, galbi, pork belly), fresh-cut sushi, Korean banchan sides.

Jeju Island runs tabletop Korean BBQ with an all-you-can-eat format and uses a robot server to deliver orders from the kitchen — a detail that draws first-timers who have never seen it. The restaurant is named for South Korea’s volcanic resort island, known for its own distinct food culture and considered one of Korea’s top culinary destinations. The AYCE format makes it the easy choice for groups.

Typically open Sun–Thu 11am–10pm, Fri–Sat 11am–11pm. Confirm at jejuislandpearland.com.

Cho Dang Gol Tofu & BBQ — 11625 Broadway St, Suite 195, Pearland TX 77584

What to order: Sundubu-jjigae (spicy silken tofu stew, served still bubbling), stone bowl bibimbap, LA galbi.

The name “Cho Dang” comes from a real village on South Korea’s eastern Gangwon Province coast where tofu has been made for centuries using local seawater, producing a silken texture that supermarket tofu doesn’t replicate. The restaurant is built around that tradition: everything is hand-prepared daily. Order the sundubu-jjigae first.

Typically open Mon–Sun 11am–10pm. Confirm at chodanggol.com.

Thai

Thai Stellar — 1826 Country Place Pkwy, Suite 110, Pearland TX 77584

What to order: Drunken Noodles, Pad See Ew, beef massaman curry, Tom Kai Gai (coconut chicken soup), mango sticky rice.

Thai Stellar sits in Pearland’s Country Place Pkwy area, west of the main Broadway strip, which keeps it a neighborhood find rather than a drive-by stop. The menu covers the full Thai comfort range: wok noodles, curries, and soups. Mango sticky rice — served with warm coconut milk — is the dessert to order even if you’re not typically a dessert person.

Closed Mondays; split lunch and dinner hours the rest of the week. Confirm current hours before visiting.

Indian

Gurkhaas Grill and Bar — 9811 Broadway St, Suite 101, Pearland TX 77584

What to order: Butter Chicken, Lamb Vindaloo, Lamb Chops, Garlic Naan, Daal Makhani, weekend lunch buffet.

Gurkhaas opened in January 2025 and runs a full cocktail bar alongside the Indian kitchen — smoked cocktails are a specialty — which is uncommon for Indian restaurants in the Houston suburbs. The name references the Gurkha warriors of Nepal, elite fighters whose reputation for fearlessness made them one of the most sought-after military forces in South and Southeast Asia. The weekend lunch buffet is the practical entry point.

Typically open Mon–Thu 11am–3pm and 5pm–9:30pm, Fri–Sat 11am–10pm, Sun 11am–9:30pm. Confirm at gurkhaasgrill.com.

Masala Street Indian Kitchen — 11710 W Broadway St, Suite 118, Pearland TX 77584

What to order: Rameshwaram dosa, chaat, idli, vadas, mango lassi, Irani chai.

Masala Street is a South Indian street-food kitchen with a deep vegetarian menu, focused on street food rather than the North Indian tandoori-heavy menus most suburban Indian restaurants default to. The signature dosa is named for Rameshwaram, a coastal Tamil Nadu temple town, a knowing nod to the dish’s regional origin. It opened in March 2026, making it the newest restaurant on this list.

Closed Mondays; Tue–Thu 11:30am–2pm and 4pm–9:30pm; Fri–Sat 11:30am–2pm and 4pm–10pm; Sun 11:30am–2pm and 4pm–9:30pm. Confirm at masalastreetus.com.

Asian fusion

Boiling Dragon — 11625 W Broadway Blvd, Suite 135, Pearland TX 77584

What to order: Firecracker Shrimp (tempura shrimp in Korean sweet-spicy aioli), boiled crawfish with Thai basil or garlic butter, Bulgogi Fries.

Boiling Dragon puts Korean bulgogi fries, New England chowder fries, and Thai basil crawfish on the same menu — a deliberate Asian-Cajun fusion from owner Harold Wong, who opened this spot in 2020. The Firecracker Shrimp is what almost everyone orders on a first visit.

Typically open Mon 5pm–9pm, Tue–Thu 12pm–9pm, Fri–Sat 12pm–10pm, Sun 12pm–9pm. Confirm current hours before visiting.
