Asian Restaurants in Mallorca

Wine (4)

If you’re craving Asian flavors while in Mallorca, you’re in luck. The island might be famous for its tapas and seafood, but it also hides some great Asian spots that locals swear by. Think crispy duck in Palma’s La Lonja or fiery pad thai near Santa Catalina – these aren’t your average tourist places. A couple of years ago, I stumbled upon an unassuming Japanese ramen bar on Carrer de Can Sanç that serves broth so rich you’ll be dreaming about it long after you leave.

Don’t expect huge chains or flashy decor here; Asian restaurants in Mallorca often focus on honest food and fresh ingredients. Many change their menu seasonally, reflecting what’s fresh from the markets, so if you see soft-shell crab or whatever catch of the day appearing, just order it. Pro tip: If you’re in Palma, go early or reserve a table because cozy spots like Mandarín or Sumo tend to fill up fast, especially on weekends. And for a late-night bite, a small Thai café just off Plaça Espanya has saved me more than once after a night out.

So whenever you want a break from paella or tapas, dive into Mallorca’s Asian food scene. It’s a nice surprise hidden away amongst the island’s familiar tastes and flavors.

Local Asian eats tips

If you want to eat like a local, steer clear of the big touristy strip restaurants. Head to neighborhoods like Santa Catalina or La Lonja, where you’ll find smaller, family-run Asian places with authentic flavors. One spot I’d recommend for a casual meal is Mandarín on Carrer de la Riera,it’s got a mix of Chinese and Vietnamese dishes, super fresh spring rolls, and a chill vibe.

And if you’re here around summer, try to grab a spot outdoors; many restaurants open their terraces in the evenings which adds a nice relaxed feel to your meal. Also, don’t hesitate to ask the staff for recommendations,they usually know their menu inside out and love to share what’s fresh that day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about Asian food spots in Mallorca? Here are some answers.

If you want sushi that locals actually enjoy, hit up Sushi Point in Palma’s Santa Catalina. It’s not flashy, but the fish is fresh and the vibe is chill. Avoid the tourist traps around the marina; they’re usually overpriced and not great quality.

Yes! For ramen, check out Izakaya Ramen Bar near Plaza Mayor. The broth is slow-cooked and super flavorful. Heads up,it's a small place so try to get there early or be prepared to wait.

You sure can. There’s a great little Thai spot called Mai Kai in Palma where the owner is from Bangkok. The green curry there reminds me of street food back home, and the prices are reasonable too.

Many places offer vegetarian options, but it’s not always obvious. I’d suggest calling ahead or asking when you arrive, especially for dishes like dumplings or noodle soups, which can sometimes have meat stocks.

Yes, if you’re into cooking, check out shops like Asian Market Palma near the Mercat de l’Olivar. They stock fresh noodles, sauces, and spices you can’t easily find elsewhere on the island.

A handful of places stay open late, especially in the city center. There’s a tiny Thai takeaway near Plaça Espanya that’s saved me after a late show or party,it’s nothing fancy but solid food and open late.
