Asiana Fusion Restaurant in Sunderland

Nice enough place although a little pretentious, probably due to the location. Food nice enough, but no better than my local takeaway and way overpriced. Staff are really nice though.

Fantastic place, so welcoming and fantastic food. Been coming here for about 8 years and have never been disappointed.

Went here for lunch for sons birthday today. Warm and inviting restaurant, warm and friendly staff. We had Imperial banquet and it was brilliant. The prawns were to die for they really were. Clean restaurant, clean toilets. Busy restaurant - nice atmosphere and definately coming back soon. Thanks very much. Im not surprised you have stood the test of time 😋

Absolutely beautiful food, good location with a view over the river. Great service too! Recommended

Truly amazing food, service and location. Visiting Sunderland a must and haven't had service to their perfection in a long time. I'll be back again this week. Thank you

It's one of the best Chinese restaurants we've visited. The Banquets are a good choice, especially for 4 ppl where you can share. Highly recommend

Visité este restaurante el martes por la noche y comí en el menú temprano que está disponible hasta 6. 30 pm. El lugar está bien distribuido y muy bien amueblado y decorado. Más importante aún, la comida era absolutamente de primera clase y a un precio muy razonable. Había una gran elección y también había una buena selección de bebidas. Un lugar sin duda si usted está visitando el centro de la ciudad de Sunderland. Está cerca de la calle. Parking Marys. El personal es amable, servicial y profesional.

Dado un 4 ya que el servicio era genial - el mejor que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo - el restaurante muy agradable (entrada encantadora) , los martinis de estrellas porno que tuvimos TAN AGRADABLE, y mi marido ME ENCANTÓ su filete flambé que estaba muy impresionantemente servido (pero por £ 20 para el plato solo, sin arroz, etc, así debería ser! ). Sin embargo mi chow mein (especial de la casa) y mi suegra chow mein (pato) tristemente no es agradable. El menú es muy simple en su redacción, así que lo que no te dice es que el chow mein viene con col, brócoli, hongos que parecen riñones y lo que creo que fue salsa de ostras. Había algunas cosas muy extrañas tipo gel congelado allí también, no estoy seguro de lo que era, pero casi me amordaza. Parecía esperma congelado caliente. En mi opinión, el chow mein que se sirvió fue en realidad chop suey (que no está en el menú). Siempre me han servido chow mein como plato seco, ya sea en una comida en un restaurante de fusión chino/tailandés o de otro tipo, y ciertamente no con brócoli o col. El único plato que conozco de eso viene con salsa de ostras y verduras como esa, es chop suey. Si me hubiera dado cuenta nunca lo habría ordenado. No me gustan los platos sabrosos, prefiero mi secador de alimentos, y ciertamente no me gusta el brócoli o la col en mi chino, así que para mí fue un tazón de basura. Como era una comida a la que nos estaba invitando mi suegra, quité el brócoli, la col y los hongos que parecían riñones (me gustan los hongos pero la forma del riñón me daba mareos)... básicamente tuve que pellizcarme la nariz y tragarme el resto de situaciones. ¡Mientras intentaba no tirarme mi martini pornstar por el cuello para deshacerme del sabor! No lo disfruté nada, y no creo que mi suegra disfrutara tampoco de lo suyo ya que no era lo que se esperaba, y no había indicación de ello en el menú sencillo. En realidad busqué en Google ‘chop suey’ y ‘chow mein’ de camino a casa y sí, esto no era chow mein. Aprecio a algunas personas que les gusta la salsa de ostras y platos sabrosos, por lo que podría gustarles (menos el extraño gel que parece esperma congelado). No quería decir nada en el restaurante para arruinar la velada, pero desde entonces les he enviado mensajes. Necesitan cambiar el plato o indicar en el menú cómo se sirve. Debido a los otros puntos positivos no bajaré la puntuación a un 3 , lo que normalmente haría si 2 de cada 3 invitados no disfrutaran de su comida.

It's the first time we visited here but we'll go back. The restaurant is immaculate, overlooking the river and beautifully laid out. The service and food is amazing. I wasn't too fussed with the beef I ordered, but that was my taste, not the food, regardless, they made it right at the end of the night. Offering a chatty, personal service with delicious food and a beautiful atmosphere, you'll love Asiana.

Great place to have food and drinks great views off Sunderland from the Restaurant as well, it's was busy but still got great service ,would not hesitate to go back when we travel up north

Increíble comida y servicio. Hermoso restaurante. Por qué no hemos estado antes no lo sé. Fácilmente en mis 3 mejores lugares para comer ya.

Went there with colleagues. Good service and delicious food. Enjoyed the evening well.

Very expensive for what you get. Drinks very expensive. Nice food but had better. Only got three highchairs unfortunately. So if you have young children please take note. Also charge a high service charge. I got caught out with it. Keep an eye on your bill at the end. Won't be going bad with how expensive it is.

Food acceptable had better , server had attitude , no atmosphere

Comida muy mediocre en el mejor de los casos, pero también muy cara. La comida no es tan merecida, sabe sosa. Realmente no estaba impresionado. Noche de semana, no ocupado, así que no hay excusas

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend.

Had my son and daughters birthday meals here. It was absolutely brilliant can't fault anything. Thank you for making there evening so special

Tuvimos una noche maravillosa, 5 de nosotros fuera para una comida de cumpleaños familiar. Ambiente encantador y deliciosa comida con un servicio increíble de nuestro camarero, George - tan amable y servicial. ¡Una gran noche!

Fuimos después de haber competido en la Great North Run El restaurante en sí parecía encantador, el servicio era genial, sin embargo, aunque los entrantes mostraron un montón de promesas, la red nos decepcionó. Mi principal de King Prawn chow mein consistía en gambas sosas cubiertas de un gel insípido en una cama de fideos salados 🙁 No fue agradable como esperábamos

Bueno, no nos decepcionó, lo que un restaurante! 6 de nosotros asistimos y fue magnífico, la comida , el personal , el ambiente, la atención al detalle. Todos teníamos el menú para 6 en el menú asiático , estaba delicioso 😋 . Lo recomendaría. Gracias por pasar una noche maravillosa.

Family group booking. Menu is quite comprehensive offering a lot of choice, and can take some time to read through. Drinks menu is equally comprehensive. Table was a semi booth ,seats and table setting nice and clean ,with views out across the river. Service was quick and efficient, and thankyou to the good humoured guy who served us, direct and funny . Food was without doubt , the best I've had. Portion size , presentation, taste were all perfect. Everyone was more than happy with what they received, even the vegetarian in our group. Definitely will return, it was a perfect.

First time here but won't be the last, had the 3 course from the lunch menu, absolutely fantastic.

Yet again another fantastic night of fabulous food great friends & lovely staff at The Asiana. We'd just like to say thanks.

Fantastic food fabulous staff great prices brilliant location. Asiana has it all.Fantasic views over the river .

Worth a visit very good quality food staff very attentive. The refurb looks fab X

Really good food! I ordered the chicken curry and didn't realize it didn't come with rice. Maybe this is common in the U.K., I'm from the US.

Fabulous food cooked fresh and hot. Lunch special 2 or 3 course.

Lovely food and fab service, well worth the lunch time menu deal. 2 courses for £15 or 3 for £18. We chose 2 and we were not disappointed.

Visited twice within a week, that’s how good this place is. Highly recommended.

Fabulous food, excellent service, would recommend to everyone

Lovely food and excellent service

Decent location, nice setting. Chinese restaurant. Reasonable Veggie options, portion good size. Worth a meal but not in same league as Wagamammas

Smart decor with great views of the harbour and bridge. Good food and friendly staff - well worth a visit. Recommend the prawn toast and special fried rice.

Excellent food & service. Highly recommended dining here

Another fabulous night .Absolutely fantastic food great friendly staff .Such a cosy setting over looking the River Wear so pretty any time of day but at night in the dark all lite up.Dont miss out have a fabulous nightout.

Lovely meal in riverside setting. I am gluten intolerant and I am always well looked after.

Food was amazing and the service was excellent

Beautiful place fantastic food, warm atmosphere couldn't ask for more

Everyone is nice as well is the food

We went here for restaurant week and really loved the food and the staff were really friendly

Absolutely poor service. No customer service skills and rude manager, turned us away from using the restaurant week voucher despite it being valid and were very disrespectful about the whole situation. No real atmosphere, except for when Taylor swift was playing during writing this review. Xoxo Gossip girl.

Fabulous meal, lovely restaurant can't fault it 😋

Delicious food. I scored them a 4 because i thought they didn't have a large variety of veggies. Excellent service. Amazing ambience and friendly staff.

The food was delicious and the staff are lovely. Maybe a new chef because definitely better than a previous visit. Will be back for sure!

This restaurant has recently been re-vamped with fresh decor and lighting, its got a beautiful authentic vibe. A warm atmosphere and beautiful tasty food. Highly recommended a visit.

Very good will definitely be going back

Superb Asian food! Hot and sour soup best ever! We're there on every occasion 👍

We went here for an anniversary because my partner recommended it, she's been here before. We got the Asiana banquet for two. I was a little bit hesitant because a) I'm not a big fan of Chinese food and b) I thought we might have been paying too much. Boy was I wrong. The food was plentiful, I'm a big guy and I was in a food coma by the end of it but satisfyingly so. Right from the start the food was rich, delicious and the variety was surprising. Duck, beef, chicken, prawns... All cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the deep fried crispy chicken with salt and pepper chips. MVP was the curry sauce, absolutely superb. Service was excellent. Fast and the server was actually hilarious. Didn't overstay his welcome or make it awkward and kept the food coming pretty efficiently. 5/5 for service. Really nice folk. My only gripe and this is a small one is that the atmosphere could do with some better lighting. Maybe some table candles or lights. That's just me though. Overall a fantastic experience and we'll be back for sure.

Best Asian restaurant in the north east. Absolutely fantastic

Asiana Fusion in Sunderland is a hidden gem that promises a culinary journey you won't forget. From the moment you step in, the ambiance is inviting, and the staff is exceptionally friendly.

Fantastic experience tonight in Asiana. Staff polite and attentive, place nipping clean. Good drinks range. Food out of this world. We had the Asiana Banquet, can highly recommend the fillet steak batam style and the deep-fried chicken with garlic and spicy salt.

We went on a quiet night early . They had several different menus , the staff were helpful in advising you the dishes were available on the cheaper early evening menu. Food was hot and delicious , would certainly recommend. It was very quiet , so if you wanted atmosphere, go later when it will also be busy. The only thing I didn't like. Service charge was automatically added to bill

Really lovely evening bueatiful food bueatiful views really nice staff.

Very busy, so service was a little slow, But meal and venue was very good 👍

Nice friendly place good food but my partner meals was not good for her she said it was tasteless otherwise ok

Excellent service, really good food.

Fairly standard fayre reasonably well executed. Could be better on service. Update Nov 23 Service much better. Great meal for family of 8. Best cheese cake ever. KP Chow Mein good. Dim sum starters good. Duck spring roll above average. Well done.

Amazing Chinese restaurant - the only restaurant serving Chinese cuisine in Sunderland. Love it!

First class cuisine with the best service and views in the city.

Yet again fabulous night .Absolutely fantastic food great friendly staff .Such a cosy setting over looking the River Wear so pretty any time of day but at night in the dark all lite up.Dont miss out have a fabulous meal.

Food was amazing! We got the banquet for 2 and each course the food was great. The staff were also really friendly and accommodating when I said I had a milk allergy. They took the order then came back straight away to say the chefs had confirmed there was no milk in anything I ordered. Will definitely be back

Staff were very friendly and helpful and food was second to none. We will definately be back 😍

It's ok. Staff seem ok but good very average

Food was just okay , it should be a lot better for the price ! It is very expensive for a Chinese and my local takeaway is better quality

We love this restaurant been a favourite of ours for ages. We visited before going to the empire tonight. It’s sunderland restaurant week. We were asked to show our voucher when we arrived. The restaurant was packed for 5.30 on a Sunday night. There was a good selection on the menu about 4/5 starters & mains to choose from plus 3 desert options for £20. We ordered drinks & then our food quiet quickly but waited a while for our starters. I ordered chicken & sweetcorn soup, my partner the spicy chicken wings, he said they were tasty but the chicken was abit dry. We ordered prawn crackers for an extra £3. There was a decent wait between our starter & main. We ordered a chicken curry & a spicy chicken curry but tbh there wasn’t much different in taste. Both curries came with rice. We did order salt & pepper chips, they were late coming out, so we hardly touched them. My partner opted for the ice cream but I was fussed. We only had 1 drink each, 1 large wine & a pint of shandy. The bill came to £59 The food was nice, the staff never stopped. Not up to there usual standard but would definitely go back

We had a birthday party there, the staff were great, loved the food . 2 of our group were vegans and they were fully catered for

This restaurant always impressive. We've been going since restaurant opened. Always have really good food. I liked that we were given option to have a breather between starter and main. We had set banquet for 2, was really good and very filling. Quality and standards of restaurant have remained high throughout. Wide choice for authentic food. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely beautiful restaurant with a good view food is amazing staff are amazing especially George who went above and beyond for us will definitely be back

Restaurant is overlooking the River Wear so it has fantastic views. The food is mostly good. The beef rendang was definitely missing something but the crunchy szechuan beef was delicious. Duck parcels were very dry but the accompaniments were very nice.

I very much appreciated my first visit to this restaurant. I cannot fault either the food or the quality service we had. Totally enjoyable!

Always good quality food with pleasant service. Slightly pricey given the portion sizes and I've never had anything that I would consider amazing with nearly everything tasting simply nice. Slightly better condiments would make a big difference. Got the same bagged salad with both main and starter. Deserts are very nice but maybe a sauce for the ginger cake. Given the cost. My teriyaki salmon only came with rice and a tiny salad. Maybe a few crisped vegetables too? These touches would elevate the place from good to great. Nothing bad from here though which is fab. Good for groups, the round table in particular is very sociable. With plenty of space and nice views of the river. It's a nice place this. It's a city centre location so parking is by nearby multi storey but that's now free after 3pm and only a short walk.

Really good Asian fusion menu Thai & Chinese with good views over the river Wear would definitely recommend good night out

Went pre-Pink on the Sunday. Seated really quickly, food was piping hot and absolutely gorgeous. We were a table of 5. Ordered a banquet menu, soup was divine, duck was possibly the best I have had in 10 years. Main courses were gorgeous. Everything was piping hot and plentiful. Staff service was great with smiles and banter. I rarely come to Sunderland but would happily visit the city to access this restaurant. Thank you for starting our event the right way.

Friendly service, delicious food at reasonable prices, great views and quiet, relaxed atmosphere.

Was not impressed with service or food quality sorry

Sent this e-mail to the restaurant with no reply !!! Pre Pink concert Sunday 11th July When we arrived a little early due to your very direct confirmation about keeping the table for 10 mins after 5pm only, we were met by a very stressed lady. She said our table wasn’t ready which was fine so I dared to ask for a drink to which I got some type of grunt. We Waited about 15 minutes just standing then got to the table and even managed to order a drink. This was the best one though what looked like an owner possibly, took our order, we asked for a banquet to which I was a little bemused as you only pick one main off the list, never seen that type of banquet before however just pushed on, he then said we would have to take the soup and the duck at the same time due to “timing” which I said no to, the soup obviously comes first then the Duck I’ve got to say that’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever had said to me in a restaurant. The soup and duck were both very nice the two main courses we had were average at best. We were finished in plenty of time, well before before the 7pm deadline we were given however I think you over estimated how busy you would be as the place was nearly empty by then. I’ve got my own business and one thing I have learnt is to treat the customers you have correctly not you ones you think you might have. Overall really poor show, the person who greeted us on arrival and the one who took the order should take some lessons in hosting off what looked like students working for you as they were all superb. I will put this on Tripadvisor so people know what to expect from you. We Won’t be back !!!

Yet again fabulous night at our favourite restaurant. Fantastic food great atmosphere, Brilliant staff.The view over the river fabulous.

This was a great discovery of Asian cuisine and modern cooking style in Sunderland … the service was spot on and the food was out of this world!

Went with a party of 8, food and service was great, good atmosphere.

Had a banquet as did a few of us. Starter and second course was fine but the main course of beef rendang was nearly all potato and tasted like a cheap Chinese curry. Disappointing.

I went the other day with my girlfriend, we both had a lovely time. All the staff were very friendly and were constantly walking the floor. The food was delicious and more than worth the price, the sweet and sour monkfish and asiana special king prawns were especially tasty

Consistently excellent. Superb Asian food in great setting. Despite been open for many years Asiana has lost none of its edge. Highly recommended and great service.

Perfect service and delicious food.

It was a great pleasure to dine at this restaurant. Asiana is located on the ground floor of the Echo Building, with a lovely views of the river. All dishes are freshly prepared on the premises. The service and ambiance of the place is very attentive and professional. I am not an easy guest. I struggle with food sensitivity and it is difficult for me to eat out. However, when I informed our waiter about my situation, he made sure that all food was prepared according to my requirements. He even made suggestions how to modify dishes, so I could enjoy food that taste good and is safe for me to eat. Overall the menu is extensive and diverse. I will recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Sunderland.

Had a lovely match day meal here a few weeks ago. £17 per person including a drink. We had spare ribs and smoked chicken to start followed by sweet and sour chicken and chow mein. All excellent. Service very good too. Would definitely recommend.

Really enjoyed our visit. Food was delicious. Staff friendly and helpful. Never felt rushed and given time we wanted between dishes.

Nice food. Bit expensive. No 3 course set meals

Really good food as always took my mam and dad there for the first time for there anniversary and the food was amazing and service was perfect go there for a really good food experience

Tried this place for first time last night before the theatre and we will be back. Lovely atmosphere, all of the staff are nice and friendly and the food was awesome 👌

Fabulous food as always and service was tremendous

Excellent food. So much so going back again in two weeks.

Absolutely gorgeous meal with fantastic company. Beautiful venue. Efficient, helpful and very friendly service. Excellent value. This was my 1st visit but it WONT be my last. Definitely recommend it.

everything about place stinks of no effort. Happy to take expensive monies but don’t deserve it. Dirty sitting tables

Great food and great service. Would definitely recommend 👌

Fabulous food! Party of 6, we ordered 3 vegetarian banquet meals and 3 meat banquet meals and shared them between us. Just about managed to finish all the food! Staff were super friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Great oriental restaurant. Good food. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Great place to sit down and talk without having to shout. Recommended.

Absolutely lovely place, staff were friendly and nothing was too much of an ask! Expensive but well and truely worth it. Would definitely recommend.

Food was terrible. Not a surprise as they try to cover all sorts of Asian cuisine. There were bits of lemongrass in my Thai curry which I nearly choked on and got stuck in my throat for days to follow so please be careful.

Lovely staff, nice ambience but very expensive food and not very nice. Very salty, small side portions, and we got charged extra for everything - extra prawn crackers £3, chilli sauce 50p, takeaway box 20p. Wouldn't go again.

Lots of standards need to be improved here. I don't think you'd want me to state what I'd seen or what they are on here if you are interested in trying this 'restaurant'. Order from a takeaway.
