Tips for a Better Visit

Share Mains. Go with friends or family and share: one review says the mains are very large, which makes sampling the wide menu easier.

Try Teas. Order a homemade iced tea with your meal; hibiscus and lemongrass are the clearest recurring drink recommendations.

The Bottom Line

Asian 5 - One Central brings five Asian cuisines under one roof in Trade Centre, which is useful when a group cannot agree on what to eat. Reviews point to particularly strong choices in nasi goreng, pad Thai, Thai green curry, dim sums and homemade iced teas. The menu is broad enough for Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indonesian and Singaporean cravings without requiring separate stops.

Portions are often described as generous, so sharing is a sensible way to try more than one cuisine. Vegetarian and vegan diners have several named options, including vegetable dim sums, rice paper rolls and cauliflower rice with Thai Pad Kapraow Gai. Coconut ice cream is another repeated favourite, while the sushi and laksa receive more mixed feedback.

The restaurant has a relaxed, polished setting with outdoor seating that reviewers especially enjoyed in cooler weather. Lunch can be busy, while evenings and weekends were described as quieter; covered parking may be validated. Service is often praised as quick, friendly and knowledgeable, though one group reported food arriving in separate batches.

Delivery feedback is less consistent, including a late order and a separate dispute over a cancelled Noon order refund, so dining in may be the safer first visit.
