New Location for Taste of Asia Now Open

Taste of Asia has opened at 4413 S. Tamiami Trail. Known for its flavorful and fresh cuisine from Laos, Thailand and Vietnam, the Lum family welcomes everyone to their newest restaurant that features a full bar with 5-6pm Happy hour, indoor and outdoor seating, and take out.

Originally opened and located in downtown Sarasota in October of 2005, Taste of Asia moved last spring from its Siesta Key location to a much bigger space that features hand carved imported wood and Zen décor.

Chef Lam makes all of his sauces from scratch from imported and domestic ingredients, right down to the chili. The flavors and recipes of Chef Lam are original creations. His unique sauces guarantee a culinary experience you will not find elsewhere.
