Asian Kitchen

Asian Kitchen is an Asian restaurant located at 56 Grand-Rue, in the Ville-Haute district of Luxembourg City. Tucked away inside a shopping arcade, this small Asian restaurant attracts a diverse clientele, including local workers, tourists, and loyal residents. If you’re looking for a place to eat a quick, tasty, and affordable meal in the heart of Luxembourg, this is a place worth checking out.

The restaurant offers a diverse menu that blends Chinese, Vietnamese, and Asian influences. Among the most popular dishes regularly mentioned by customers are shrimp fried rice, roast or lacquered duck, crispy chicken, beef stir-fried noodles, spring rolls, dumplings, samosas, and various soups (wonton, miso, sweet and sour, tom yum). Those who prefer takeout will also find what they’re looking for with the convenient takeout service, perfect for a quick lunch or dinner at home. Asian Kitchen also accepts dine-in orders and even offers curbside pickup for takeout orders.

An attractive price-quality ratio for a restaurant in the city center

One of the most frequently cited advantages by customers remains the value for money , a significant factor in a city where restaurant prices are among the highest in Europe. Main courses are generally priced between €13 and €15, and many customers consider it one of the most affordable Asian restaurants in the city center. Portions are often described as generous, sometimes even too large for a standard appetite, which can be appealing to families or those with a hearty appetite.

To give you an idea, several customers mentioned paying around €45 for a meal consisting of six samosas, four ravioli, two plates of beef with noodles, sparkling water, and a soda. Another customer reported a total of €65 for four people with stir-fried noodles with duck and shrimp. These prices reflect a certain moderation compared to local standards.

A team that takes great care, despite a few points to improve.

Service is another aspect that frequently comes up in customer reviews. Several waiters and waitresses are mentioned by name for their kindness and professionalism, including Jasmine, Jazz, and the owner herself, who is often praised for her warm welcome, helpfulness, and even her ability to adapt to foreign customers (speaking English and French). Delivery drivers from third-party platforms also highlighted the excellent welcome they received, including a complimentary hot tea.

That said, a few customers report less positive experiences, mentioning sometimes slow service, especially during the peak period between 12:30 and 1:00 PM, when the wait can be long even though the restaurant isn’t always full. Others mention forgotten orders, errors in the dishes served (such as noodles being replaced with spaghetti), or a perceived unfriendly attitude from some staff members. However, these experiences remain in the minority compared to the volume of positive feedback.

A menu that gives pride of place to classic Asian cuisine

One of the Asian Kitchen’s strong points is undoubtedly the variety of its menu. You’ll find everything from:

• Typical appetizers include spring rolls, samosas, shrimp fritters, and steamed dumplings.
• Comforting soups, ideal for cool days.
• Stir-fried noodle dishes with beef, duck, or shrimp.
• Fried rice available in several versions (chicken, shrimp, beef, vegetables).
• Meat dishes such as crispy chicken, roast or lacquered duck, or beef with vegetables.
• Some healthier options include tofu soup or stir-fried vegetables.

Those who enjoy spicy food can also enjoy a homemade hot sauce, recommended by several regulars. The desserts, particularly the banana fritters, are also tempting, although few actually dare to try them at the end of their meal.

Extended hours and opening outside peak hours

Unlike many downtown restaurants that close their kitchens in the mid-afternoon, Asian Kitchen maintains its service from 11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. This is a boon for customers who want to dine early or those with a late-afternoon snack. This continuous service is regularly praised as a real advantage, especially in a city where cafes and restaurants often close between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

The restaurant accepts reservations and offers both dine-in and takeout. Contactless payment, including Apple Pay, is accepted and even preferred, making it easier for customers in a hurry to get through.

A few things to be aware of before going there

As positive as the overall experience may be, some points deserve to be highlighted to allow future customers to adjust their expectations:

• No free water : the management does not serve free tap water, which may be frustrating for some customers accustomed to this practice. You will need to buy a bottle if you wish to drink water during your meal.
• Non-halal dishes : The chicken and beef served are not halal. No halal certification is claimed, which may be an important factor for some customers.
• Peak hour wait times : between 12:30 and 13:00, the kitchen may experience delays, with wait times potentially exceeding one hour in some cases.
• Toilet cleanliness : some customers report that the toilets could be better maintained, with a sometimes strong smell of disinfectant.
• Uneven portions : while the majority of customers consider the portions generous, some find them a little small, especially for some main dishes.
• Flavor sometimes lacking : some reviews mention noodle or rice dishes that were slightly under-seasoned, compensated for by the presence of salt on each table.

A central and easily accessible address

The Asian Kitchen’s location is a significant advantage. Situated on the Grand-Rue, one of the main thoroughfares of the old town, the restaurant is within walking distance of most tourist attractions and city center offices. Located within a shopping arcade, it’s somewhat discreet from the street but easily recognizable once inside. Parking is limited in the area, so public transport or walking are recommended if you’re staying in the city center.
