Best Asian Restaurants in Richmond, TX: 10 Verified Picks

The best Asian restaurants in Richmond, TX are Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Japanese and South Asian kitchens spread along Grand Parkway (TX-99), West Airport Boulevard, Harlem Road and FM 1093 in Fort Bend County. Our top picks are Kati Thai Eatery for Southern Thai cooking, Pho Bo To Grill for short rib pho, and Namkeen Delights for Indian street snacks. All 10 restaurants below were checked as operating on their own official websites in November 2026.

The line worth sending to the group chat: Richmond’s Thai standout is named for coconut milk and was run by a family who served Thai food in Oregon for more than 20 years before they came to Texas.

What counts as Richmond in this guide?

Richmond here means the City of Richmond (the 77469 ZIP code around Historic Downtown and Crabb River Road) plus the unincorporated Fort Bend County areas with a Richmond mailing address in the 77406 and 77407 ZIP codes, including Aliana, Harvest Green and the stretches along Grand Parkway, West Bellfort Boulevard, FM 1464 and FM 1093. We left out restaurants with Sugar Land, Rosenberg, Katy or Fulshear addresses, even ones a few minutes away. That’s the same boundary our other Richmond guides use. For more on the area, see our Richmond, TX area guide.

How we chose

Every restaurant had to have a Richmond address and an official website showing it as open in November 2026. We took dish names from each restaurant’s own menu, not from review sites. Each pick also needed a reason to choose it over the chain down the road: a regional specialty, a family recipe, a format you rarely see in the suburbs, or a dish worth planning a trip around.

Hours change, and several of these kitchens close one day a week or break between lunch and dinner. Treat every time below as typical and check the restaurant’s site before you go.

What to order: the Had Yai Chicken, a Southern Thai fried chicken served with sticky rice, or the Crab Pad Thai, which the menu lists as its most popular noodle dish. If you want to branch out, try the Khao Soi (Chiang Mai curry noodles) or Pla Rad Prig, a crispy whole tilapia with sweet chili garlic sauce. Why go: you get regional Thai cooking with a family history behind it. The official menu is worth reading before you go.
