As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
Poke bowls meet Cantonese cuisine as Gran Canaria showcases its Asian eateries. The Restaurante Arucas Palacio Oriental in the north has earned 4.5 stars from 993 reviews, whilst in the south, near Maspalomas, several establishments are vying for the same clientele. The 10 best Asian restaurants on Gran Canaria range from Poké Poké in Telde to Kai Sweet Poke in Agaete. Between Arucas and San Bartolomé de Tirajana, this cuisine is served sometimes in a traditional style, sometimes as a modern bowl. The quality and the variety across the island are surprising.
Eating Asian food in Gran Canaria: here’s how
At lunchtime, between 2 pm and 4 pm, restaurants charge between 10 and 14 euros for the ‚menú del día‘; in the evening, the price of the same dishes goes up. In Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas, the waiters speak German and English; in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spanish comes in handy. Card payments are accepted almost everywhere, though smaller establishments such as Delicia Oriental in Tamaraceite still only take cash. Around Christmas and Easter, the restaurants fill up, so you’ll need to book in advance.
Tips for your visit
Behind Playa de las Canteras in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Japanese sushi bars sit alongside Thai and Vietnamese eateries. Chinese cuisine, featuring dim sum in small portions, tends to be found further back in the residential district of Schamann. Of the island’s 999 restaurants, Asian establishments form a dense cluster in the urban north.
In the south, bowl shops are clustered around Maspalomas, where the Asia House outshines all the others with 1,460 reviews and 4.3 stars. Just a few steps away, KOKORO is struggling with a 2.3-star rating. A Korean barbecue restaurant with table grills can be found in Vegueta near Santa Ana Cathedral; some owners serve ‚papas arrugadas‘ as a side dish alongside the curry.
