Asian food has become a staple of America’s restaurant scene in recent decades. However, many US residents still have only tried basics such as Chinese and Japanese cuisines, whereas these days, food from all over the Asian continent can be found, even in quiet towns. If you’re looking for some new and interesting Asian restaurants near Oxford, that serve dishes beyond the standard sushi and chow mein, here are some of our recommendations.
Drive Home With Dinner: 3 Great Asian Restaurants Near Oxford, NC
Secrets Pho & Noodle Bar
Pho is slowly beginning to gain popularity in the US. Although the dish sounds simple, pho comes with many different garnishes, allowing diners to add flavors and spice to their own tastes. This means every dish is original and every time you come you can flavor it differently, making for a unique experience each time. Secrets is the best spot in the area to try Vietnam’s national dish, and you won’t be disappointed here,
Himalayan Nepali Cuisine
Nepalese (or Nepali) food is still fairly unheard of in America, but it shouldn’t be. The little landlocked country of Nepal is situated between China and India, and the food borrows flavors and techniques from both of these amazing cuisines. The curries are great, but we highly recommend the momos: little parcels stuffed with meat and vegetables, steamed, and then served with a variety of sauces.
Seol Grille
Koreans take eating very seriously. Meals are highly important in their culture, and these tend to be massive sharing feasts rather than individual plates for each person. At Seol Grille, they offer one of Korea’s highlights: hotpot BBQ. These have barbecues and pots set in the middle of the table where guests can grill or boil their food as they go, with the flavors infusing and becoming stronger as the meal progresses.
Korean BBQs are a highly social event, and so are perfect for a family outing or work night out, and with seating for up to 7 people in the new Honda CR-V, you can even load up the extended family or the entire office to come and enjoy this fun, social dining experience.
After eating at all of these great places, you will discover a new side to Asian cuisine that you didn’t know existed, and maybe even find some new favorite dishes. Will it be the crispy stuffed momos from Himalayan Nepali Cuisine, or will the hotpot at Seol Grille be more your thing? We’d love to hear your thoughts, so drop by and visit us at Boyd Honda Oxford after your meal to let us know how it went and check out our showroom of new and used cars.
