When looking for excellent Asian cuisine, you’ll find that Tupelo, MS is a great place to be. Whether it’s Chinese, Thai, or Japanese, the city has it all. The following Asian restaurants are just some of our favorites. 

Wok and Roll

This simple, unassuming hidden gem may not look like much on the outside, but once you taste the food, you’ll swear to return here again. They serve catfish, shrimp, and trout, which you can order for one person or order a 12 or 18-piece meal for the family. They also have platters as well as combination meals and specialties. We also recommend the chicken fried rice and fish, the popcorn shrimp and fish, or the ham rice. They are located at 4980 N Raymond Ave.

Sao Thai

Here you’ll find authentic, traditional dishes, such as spring rolls, pad Thai, curries, and more. The friendly servers will greet you and answer any questions about the menu you have. If you require a vegan meal, just ask. We’ve found them very accommodating. Start with the tom kha soup, the golden tofu, or the crispy rangoon for an appetizer. For a main course, you can’t beat the drunken noodles and the spicy basil fried rice. Find Sao Thai at 725 N Gloster St.

Ichiban Japanese Grill

For a quick delicious meal, dine in or take out at this family-run establishment. We suggest beginning with the edamame, the fried shumai, or the dynamite sticks. Then try the vegetable or shrimp hibachi. There are also a variety of sushi rolls and sashimi options, like the masago, the Christmas, and the Alaska roll. If you’re looking for something a little different, we recommend one of their bento boxes, which includes varieties such as pork katsu and steak teriyaki. They are located at 603 N Gloster St.

China Capital

This restaurant serves an array of authentic Chinese cuisine. The lunch combinations are popular. We suggest starting with an appetizer. The cream cheese wontons and fried jumbo shrimp are a must. For an entree, the Szechuan-style beef, the black pepper chicken, the Hunan-style chicken, or the shrimp with garlic sauce won’t disappoint. They also have a kid’s menu that includes sweet and sour chicken and chicken nuggets. Find them at 530 N Gloster St.
