Best Asian Restaurants in Geelong: A Dining Guide

Geelong has a solid Asian dining scene that has grown with the city's population and the influence of Deakin University's international student community. The CBD area around Ryrie Street and James Street has the highest concentration of Asian restaurants, with Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese options. Pakington Street in Newtown has Asian dining options alongside its broader restaurant and cafe offering. Waurn Ponds and Highton, near the Deakin campus, have Asian dining options catering to the student and faculty population. Vietnamese pho has established itself strongly in Geelong as a mainstream dining choice, with several well-regarded spots across the inner suburbs. Japanese ramen and sushi operations have grown in the CBD. Chinese dining has a heritage community presence in the city. The Bellarine Peninsula's Ocean Grove and Queenscliff have Asian dining options suited to the visitor market. As a regional city, checking current hours before visiting is worthwhile, as some operators close on certain days of the week.
