Top 10 Asian food in Turku, Southwest Finland, Finland
Discover Restaurants offering the best Asian food in Turku, Southwest Finland, Finland. Turku (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈturku] ( listen); Swedish: Åbo [ˈoːbʊ] ( listen)) is a city on the southwest coast of Finland at the mouth of the Aura River, in the region of Southwest Finland. Turku, as a town, was settled during the 13th century and founded most likely at the end of the 13th century, making it the oldest city in Finland. It quickly became the most important city in Finland, a status it retained for hundreds of years. After Finland became part of the Russian Empire (1809) and the capital of the Grand Duchy of Finland was moved to Helsinki (1812), Turku continued to be the most populous city in Finland until the end of the 1840s, and it remains a regional capital and an important business and cultural center.

10. Kobe Sushi

Reviewed By MosseTurku
There seems to be some kind of sushi boom going on as Turku has seen many new restaurants during the last few years. Kobe is a fairly new one that replaced the French and American restaurants that used to be in the place before. I'm very happy about that as I love sushi and Kobe is conveniently situated with free parking just outside. It's a bit outside the city centre, but still within walking distance.Kobe is run by a young and friendly crowd and they've managed to create a nice Japanese atmosphere.I've once tried out their inexpensive and extensive lunch buffet, but I had difficulties to find a free seat as the place isn't that big, but extremely popular. In the evening there has always been free tables. When I've been there in the evening I've just been sitting in order to get my takeaway. Usually they have it made in about 20 minutes, but this time the apologised that it might take more than 30 minutes. I didn't mind as it's nice to sit there and watch the interior and customers and at the same time it's a guarantee that I'm served freshly made sushi. They offer a 20 percent discount an takeaways, which might be the best deal in town.I usually take a sushi mix, which they have in different sizes. They do have an extensive menu, but so far I've only tried the different mixes and the buffet. Except sushi they also serve other Asian dishes, some of which are included in the buffet.

Since my friend likes spicy food and I like Indian food we chose this restaurant in the very neighborhood of our hotel. Very nice place, tranquil atmosphere, silent with background music barely audible (during our visit, at least). I chose Himalayan Kitchen Special Sizzler with herb-yogurt marinated and Szechwan pepper spiced tandoori oven grilled king prawns, lamb tenderloin pieces and succulent pieces of chicken and fresh vegetables, served with mint chutney. My friend chose spicier Himalayan Kitchen Tandoor mix, about same dish with hot and spicy tomato onion and garam masala sauce.We liked our most filling dishes with the exception of king prawns; just 2 of them but didn't taste to our liking. Coffee for dessert, very well worth the money (2 EUR). The waitress was very friendly and food was tasty. Great place if you like Nepalese food.

I took away a lunch dish, Chicken in red curry. So tasty and fresh! The chili was just enough to not get your mouth to burn but make the flavour rich. Definitely will come again.

Quite good vegetarian food, all portions seem to include quite a lot protein (tofu, seitan, beans); in fact more than necessary (in my opinion). There are now four restaurants in Turku or neighboring towns; one in the centre (near the railway station). In fact they are more like stalls, with a few tables and seats, but they will be more tempting during the summer. One portion was 7,50 euros, an ok price.

We went there with the family on a Sunday. It is a quiet and cosy place with a nice atmosphere. My wife ordered The Special Chicken as it was lactose free. She really liked it as it was "filling, flavorful but not overly spiced". It had cashew nuts that gave it a nice crunchiness. I had the Butter Chicken which was mild but flavorful and very good. The rice that came with it was excellent white Basmati rice which did not stick together, much like Persian rice (I am half Persian!). Our older son (11) had the Small Lamb Korma from the children's menu. He is very picky with food so he only ate half of it. I ate the rest of it and it was very good. Our youngest (5) had chicken nuggets and fries. When he asked for more ketchup they immediately brought more. So very good service to both children and adults. For desert we got the Mango Lassi and Fried Banana. Both were absolutely divine! The price for all of this was very reasonable.

Being a Australian in Finland I'm amazed at the 10 euro lunch deals they have everywhere, but this one stood out. Situated in a little market-like center kado sushi was the perfect little lunch to have, not too much food but good value for money. Fresh fish, sticky rice, and a beautiful miso soup before the meal. If I could have a whine about something, it would be that they didn't have any English menus. Thanks kado!!

Although we are not so fond of sushi we booked a table from Karu. Starters was something totally different than sushi: tiger prawns with chili mayo, small softshelled crayfish burger and ribs with a perfect glazing/sauce. So perfect! For the main course we got sushi which was also good.

All team ordered different dishes including chicken lemon/vegan food/vegetarian options/Salads. Service was good.

2. Yangtze Chinese Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4 based on 141 reviews
Reviewed By JDSor
There's generally no shortage of Chinese joints in Finland, but most of them are characterized by being pretty affordable and also indistinguishable from each other, the latter also applying to their different dishes.Yangtze strives to rise above this crowd by offering less paper lanterns and more of a modern dining experience with snappy interior design, nice tableware and some extra attention to how the dishes look as well as taste. This is also reflected in the prices.For those prices, you get some rather tasty food, though especially the starters are very, very pricey for the amount that you get. True, a lot of love must have gone into the dumplings, but you'd expect more than a small handful of them.As said though, what you do get is at worst tasty and at best inspired, and Yangtze does obviously stand apart from its more traditional counterparts. So, if you got a craving for Chinese, but have company that you wouldn't like to take down to your favorite grease pit, this is the solution right here. Just know that your wallet is going on a diet, even if you aren't.
