XO Asian Cuisine

It’s not authentic pho, however, it hit the spot. Probably, one of the better bowls of phö I’ve had in Puerto Rico. The crab rangoons were great! The service was laid back and friendly, I would go again. 👍

I can't wait to go back and indulge in more PHO at this place! The food was amazing, and I was impressed by the cleanliness and tidiness of the establishment. The attention to detail in every aspect was outstanding. We didn't have to wait long for our food, and the customer service was excellent. Our server was incredibly sweet and attentive. The atmosphere of the place was delightful, and being located by the beach with plenty of tourists around made it feel like a home away from home. I highly recommend this place if you're craving delicious pho and want to enjoy a warm and welcoming ambiance. I'll definitely be returning!

Call me naive or dumb but given this wasn’t a proper Vietnamese spot, I still was in the mood for pho. I knew the expectations going in and surmised the “pho” at XO Asian Cuisine wouldn’t be any good and I was right. The broth was incredibly bland. At $16.95 for a smallish bowl, you’re also paying tourist prices. The other items on the menu looked good, but if you want legit pho, don’t waste your time or money here.

Everything was perfect and great on our night out in Puerto Rico. The staff was friendly and expeditious. The Food was Amazing! We started with edamame and gyoza then had California rolls and General Tso's chicken. It was a great meal after having all the Puerto Rican staples and needing something different. We definitely recommend!

Very good Chinese, I would definitely go back. We also had crab Rangoon. Everything was well cooked and reasonably priced.

What a refreshing experience after having to leave another lounge in Condado. We had a great welcome by Natalia(?). She made us feel welcome, made great suggestions of Sushi Rolls and drinks (the Sangria and the Rum with Passion Fruit juice were so refreshing as well). This place had been also recommended by my son from a prior trip to San Juan. It’s a real sushi sashimi place; the Real Thing. Don’t hesitate because it’s small; it’s very much a refreshing value experience.

I am a big pho lover, and it was the only place around that serves pho. I would say, it is a good veggie soup, a lot of noodles, good broth, and veggies, plus I added the tofu which I loved. But to me, it doesn’t have this particular pho taste and smell that I was looking for. It is a very good veggie soup but not a vegetarian pho I was looking for. However, I will definitely go back for it, because it was delicious and it’s the best you can find in PR.

Some of the best food I had in Puerto Rico, and by far the best Asian food I had while there. Escaped the rain to come here, and even though we sat outside we were safely under an awning. The service and food was incredible. The waitress was attentive, and she went back and forth with us in English and Spanish. The food came out at a reasonable much to our delight. I had the curry noodles and loved them. Must visit if in the Condado area!

First the food is wonderful and comforting, so much so that I am guilty of ordering the same thing though their menu is plentiful; well, I iust enjoy my favorites so much. I travel for work and the chef/staff remembers us that it was almost a year that they saw us. Always happy with the service here. A place I would and have returned gladly. A coworker likes sushi and she loved what she ordered.

Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend this restaurant. I didn't have very high expectations of this restaurant when I saw how empty it was, but left wondering why it didn't have more business. Pretty diverse menu of Chinese, Americanized Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese cuisine. Atmosphere: This restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. Inside, there was plenty of space between tables for your party to have a more intimate experience without having to cram around the table next to you. Light Chinese music played overhead for a nice traditional vibe without drowning out your conversation. Medium-light ambience with natural light coming from the large window facing the street. Food: I started out with the ($7.50) 2pc Fresh Salmon Sushi(Nigiri). They put way too much rice under each piece of fish. Nigiri is meant to be eaten in one bite without stuffing your mouth so that the flavors/textures of neither the fish nor rice engulf the other. That being said, I was almost shocked at the quality of both the fish and rice. For some reason, I was expecting Publix/Kroger quality sushi, but it was very fresh and flavorful. By special request, they served me a ($6) side portion of the pho broth(broth alone). I just wanted to try it as I'm very critical about Vietnamese Pho. It was rich at first, but as I got closer to the bottoms of the bowl, it began to taste a bit too salty for my liking. I would give it a 6/10, which I still think is very impressive considering my other pho experiences in Atlanta. My main entree was the ($16) Singapore Rice Noodles. I wish it was spicy like the chili pepper beside it on the menu suggested, but apart from that, it was absolutely delicious. Very nice proportions of noodles, vegetables, and protein. My brother got the ($22) Churrasco Lo-Mein as his entree. I think that the dish was too heavy on the vegetables and too light on the noodles, but the flavor was still great. It was a nice little fusion of Asian and Puerto Rican cuisine. Service: The service was great. The staff consisted of two very kind women. Both speak Chinese(didn't pay attention to whether it was Cantonese or Mandarin) while one spoke fluent English and the other spoke fluent Spanish. It was the perfect team to serve both locals and tourists. They were very attentive and accommodating for special requests. Overall: Based on where I'm from, this place doesn't look like much, but looks are very deceiving. I dined at a few more than affordable restaurants during my stay in Puerto Rico and this place ranks above most of them. Peaceful ambience, great food, and awesome service. I will definitely visit this restaurant again when I'm back in Puerto Rico

Portion sizes were great, I got a 1 person boat and was impressed with the salad and miso soup I got. The sashimi were nice thick pieces of fish, which I appreciated. Unfortunately the octopus wasn't chewable so I had to skip that. But otherwise I really enjoyed everything!

This HIT the spot after the beach. It was such a cute little restaurant perfect for a lunch with a friend or casual date. The service was quick and it's clear they care about their customers. The poke bowl didn't disappoint at all. It was packed, fresh, and they don't skimp out. Additionally, the prices were great compared to the surrounding sushi or poke restaurants. Lastly, they offer a wide menu for whatever you're craving. I will definitely come back

Small place but very welcoming. Food was amazing and the natural juices were even better!!!

If you in San Juan and want good Asian food you have to come to this place,the food is fresh and delicious and the service is friendly

I finally found a Pho that meets and exceeds my baseline expectations from authentic Pho soup I tried several times before, in the continental USA. Service is fast and dedicated. They have an effective variety of asian beers, and I love to sit in their little corner outside in Condado.

How to create the perfect fresh meal after eating lots of delicious fried Puerto Rican food: Spicy tuna poke bowl with sushi rice, carrots, avocado, cucumbers, edema-me, and cabbage. Add fried garlic and spicy Mayo. You're welcome. *takes a big bow*

Service was friendly, polite, and prompt. It wasn't ad aggressive as it is back in the mainland. I ordered mackerel sushi, and two sushi rolls: salmon skin and spicy scallops. The ingredients were all fresh and made to perfection. For inexpensive sushi in Puerto Rico, the food quality was great! I support Asian businesses so I hope they get more business.

Love this place. Good sushi, and I'm not a real sushi fan. Easy walk from hotels on Ashford Ave. The staff are great! Definitely recommended.

It's a very small place, kind of tucked into the buildings, but it's very friendly service. The lady making the sushi and the gentleman helped me at my table was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable and we had a small little nice conversation. The sushi is fresh. Extremely good. I was very impressed with the flavor of the rolls that I was given. I definitely recommend this restaurant

When I say this was the worst and rudest customer service ever for take out, I was utterly disgusted! As I called in my order and asked for things like forks, soy sauce and spicy mayo, she got upset that I was asking for these things as if I wasn't a paying customer.

Great staff, big menu, we would go back. Only thing off with our food was our Mongolian beef sauce was not thick but little watery, but still tastes good.

Good and attentive service. Food was fenomenal and good price. We had a chicken and a meats pho bowls. We also had the tropical and the Churrasco sushi rolls.

Haven't had a bad meal yet. As an airline crew it's my go to for Asian food anytime I fly into San Juan!! They do a great job. Kevin

Great place for vegans, fast service great tofu poke bowls! And veggie rolls! Their prices are very reasonable

This restaurant on Ashford Avenue is near the Marriott hotel in Condado. My wife, two sons (14 yrs, 16 yrs), and I came here on our last night of our vacation trip as we were craving Asian cuisine. I ordered a poke bowl with spicy tuna and white tuna for dinner. My 14 year old son also got a poke bowl. My wife and 16-year old son each decided to try their pho (Vietnamese noodle soup). On the plus side, the server was friendly and attentive. Also, the sushi rolls looked great based on the family next to us enjoying a sushi boat. I liked the poke with the spicy tuna - but it was not as fresh as poke in northern Virginia. On the minus side, the pho bowls had way too much salt (and were not taste tested). Also, they forgot our spring roll appetizer which came at the end. Finally, I noticed a strange odor when we came in the restaurant. It was the scent of a dirty sponge recently used to wipe the table. Overall, it was an OK experience. If you're staying at the Marriott, it's a good option for sushi because of the convenient location. But I would avoid the Vietnamese pho unless they make major improvements to the recipe.

I had a BYO poke bowl and the mango and raw fish was to die for. Absolutely delicious and my first time trying poke ever!! I was eating outside with my boyfriend and the gorgeous fish attracted people walking by and literally had people coming in to see what this restaurant was about. Beautiful job and our server was so friendly and hard-working!!

My partner and I tried this place out after craving a good soup. The pho with beef did not disappoint. The crab raggoon,spring rolls, and fried icecream We're all excellent! Def check this place out while in San Juan. The service was also great. You can tell they are a family own restaurant so come show some love.

Xo Asian Cuisine delivers exceptional Chinese cuisine with a side of heartwarming service. The staff's friendliness shines through, even in the face of mishaps like breaking a glass. Their graciousness and attentiveness create a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. From start to finish, Xo Asian Cuisine proves that great food and outstanding service go hand in hand. Pricing not too bad either

This place is a hidden gem. It's hard to find good sushi in San Juan but this spot never disappoints! My go to for the best spicy tuna rolls around.

General Tso - ok Mongolian Beef - GOOD Service = Very good Most the reviews talk about the sushi here. Which I wanted but my Drama Queen bf wanted Chinese american-like food to share...which you can easily. They served them like tapas. I am from NYC, so its hard to give a chinese place amazing reviews if it doesn't top what I have had. To be fair, I bet I would have given this place higher stars if I got the sushi. Do the sushi.

I saw this space walking down the street. I tried all vegan dishes: tofu with mixed veggies, veggie pho with added tofu, veggie spring rolls, and spicy edamame. Everything was delicious and fresh. Good and clean indoor seating. The people were friendly. I would definitely return here!

Very good food...not too expensive. Quick service. It looks like a hole in the wall but the food was great.

If you are visiting San Juan, and you are feening for some sushi or asian fusion food, after days of eating chicken rice & beans.. :P then this is the spottttt! I've visited SJ yearly and this newly restaurant really impressed me. We stayed at the Marriott and this restaurant was right across the street on the strip. It was easy accessible for us to grab a quick lunch and dinner! We ordered the sushi platters but they also have fresh, affordable Asian fusion cuisine to local guests and tourists. Everything from sashimi to noodle dishes, chinese dishes to sushi rolls/ platters. This is one of the best sushi spot I went to in PR and the owners, chef and staffs are really nice! They were all in masks and gloves. Will def be back.

My coworkers and I found this spot to have our last dinner before heading back home the next day, and it was VERY worth it. Maybe even the best meal i had that week. Small intimate place with delicious food and excellent service. We tried a ton of different stuff from the menu- the general tsos chicken was my favorite and the sushi was also very good quality and tasty. If you have a sweet tooth like me, treat yourself to the fried ice cream or cheesecake!

Service was great and food was delicious! They were very sweet and the fish was super fresh. Our boat came with miso soups and a crab salad. The boat is chefs choice but you can give let them know what you don't like so they can tailor it to you. Great meal and so big we took this as leftovers!

Smack bang opposite the Marriot where we were staying so it ended up being a super easy walk across on a rainy night! The place was small and no frills but the food was really really good! We had the steamed dumplings, some sushi and the beef pho and everything was great! The pho was especially exceptionally good with a lovely flavor to the broth and a HUGE portion.

If I were to visit San Juan again, I would come back to the place. The customer service was lovely and the food was cool. I had hot and sour soup, beef satay and house special lo mein. The beef satay was delish and the sauce on it was good. The lo mein was pretty standard but it did what it needed to do. My friends ordered various sushis and they came out on this large decorative boat. Im giving them major points for presentation. From what it seemed, my friends enjoyed their sushi. For a drink I had a passion fruit maragarita. Next visit, I'll be seeing what else the menu has to offer.

Fresh, light food,l. Good quality, nice server. A welcomed change from the heavier fare we've eaten all week.

We ate here years ago at the old location before Maria hit. We are so glad they reopened. They have not skipped a beat, food still amazing, hospitality is great and the menu has so many choices of food to choose from. Do not hesitate get in here get a poke bowl, chinese, PHO YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

What a great place! Unbelievable food choices, amazing, fresh sushi, and a wide variety of vegetarian options.. Something for everybody! A nice small family run restaurant. The only thing I am sorry about is the fact that my family found this gem on our last day of our vacation.

Great tasting Chinese food. We ordered the fried dumplings, eggplant and garlic sauce, orange hi Ken, Mongolian beef, house special Lo Mein, Singaporean rice noodle, Lo Mein, and a lot of the rolls. Would recommend everything except the Singaporean rice noodle

Great place. Food was amazing. Nice service too. A good value for San Juan on the beach.

Only thing that was open after 10pm. It was AMAZONG. I love me some sushi and this place did not disappoint. I live in San Diego and eat a ton of sushi and this was was such a surprise. Crab rangoons were good but the salmon sushi and hand rolls were amazing. Will return.

Good food and great location. I have tried the pho, li mien, fried rice and garlic eggplant. All was good and satisfied my asian craving while in PR

My family and I walked in after a few hours at the casino the place was just starting to fill up, almost every single table that was not occupied was dirty with plates and cups stacked up, they need more help at night. The waitress was very nice and prompt, she knew multiple languages and remembered all of our orders. The food was meh... my father in law said the fish on top of his sushi tasted like spam and had that same mushy consistency, he couldn't finish it. My wife's sushi was sloppily put together and didn't taste good. My orange chicken was okay at best. If you need to fill up your stomach after the bar or club, sure stop here, if not maybe look for another place that's open.

We visited San Juan in May 2021 and was craving some asian cuisine. We stumbled upon this gem and it was just lovely! There was a curfew in place when we were visiting PR and it was so difficult finding food in the evenings. We so glad we had a chance to try this. The staff were so nice and helpful when we weren't sure what to get. Like what the other reviews mentioned, the portions were bigger than expected for a very fair price. Flavorful broth for the pho and everything was just so good! They do have vegetarian options so that was perfect for one of my fellow travelers.

What a delicious meals at XO!! Right a cross street from Marriott and can't wait to try their PHO before we go back home.

So glad that I find this spot in the center of Condado!The food here is so good, authentic Asian food. The ingredients are fresh, and good variety of sushi. I also really like the Vietnamese Pho here, I can drink the bone soup base all day! The soup takes over 8 hours to make, so go early before it's sold out!

Stopped in for pho, spring rolls and some steamed dumplings. All were excellent. The pho was delicious and the broth was not salty as reported in another review. Wish I took some pictures but I was too hungry.

i enjoyed the food we ate, but the service was quite slow. we kept on getting empty promises that our table was going to be ready when it wasn't. i think a mix of jet lag and san juan fatigue may have made this experience mid, but the service time left us unsatisfied

Great Poke Bowl...everything was fresh and it is a nice small family business which you get the vibe that they really care about their business. I'll be back next time I'm in the area.

Because sometimes you just want to eat something different! Everything we ordered was good, no complaints. 4 stars because they got a few items in our order wrong but we ate them anyway and it was all very good. They are open late, but do not be fooled, the quality is good!

Very friendly staff, really good authentic Chinese dishes if you know what you want and order off menu. Prices were very reasonable. If you're craving some good Chinese/Asian after eating too much Puerto Rican fare, this is a nice break from the fried/carb heavy foods.

So so yummy!! I'm from Miami where there's tons of good sushi spots but this one takes the win. We came here late before our flight back home and they took us in, made our sushi in-front of us super fresh and delicious. Totally recommend!

Everything was great. The service, the food, etc. I got a miso soup and the rainbow roll- tasted excellent. My dad got the pho and we expected it to be just OK, however the broth was wonderful. Completely blown away by the flavor, beats our usual place in California we go to.

For those who need vegetarian options, It can take a little looking, but this place hit the spot. The fried rice was delicious and the fried onions on top were a nice touch. Lo mein was not too oily and would also recommend their tofu dishes. Kids gobbled it up which is 5 stars by itself.
