About Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants

Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants is an annual ranking that celebrates the most outstanding dining establishments across Asia. Often regarded as one of the most influential “best of” lists in the culinary world, the ranking is curated through the votes of a wide panel of chefs, restaurateurs, food writers, and culinary experts from across the region.

Each year, the list reflects not only excellence in cooking, but also the cultural narratives, craftsmanship, and creative visions shaping Asia’s dining scene today.

Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025: A New Culinary Chapter in Asia

The Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025 awards ceremony was held in Seoul, marking a significant moment for Asian gastronomy. Based on the votes of 350 culinary experts, this year’s ranking highlighted both established culinary capitals and emerging destinations.

Cities such as Hanoi (Vietnam) and Bengaluru (India) stood alongside long-recognized hubs like Tokyo, Bangkok, and Hong Kong – signaling a broader, more inclusive view of Asia’s evolving food culture. With Seoul as the host city, the ceremony celebrated not just rankings, but the shared momentum shaping the future of dining in Asia.
