Turks and Caicos Asian Cuisine Restaurants

The island of Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos is home to several Asian restaurants, a few of which are located in Grace Bay. There’s a great balance of local restaurants on the island offering inexpensive traditional classics and fine dining.

Many of the gourmet restaurants on Providenciales offer an international menu, typically have Asian-influenced dishes (of which many are unique and done quite well), and incorporate local seafood.

Sushi and Japanese Cuisine

Noori is an elegant bar and sushi restaurant located in the lobby at the Ritz-Carlton at Grace Bay. This spot offers a beautiful ambiance, impeccable mixed drinks, and excellent sushi, nigiri, and raw food.

Yoshi's is one of the better-known Japanese cuisine establishments in the Turks and Caicos, and has been one of the foremost sushi restaurants on Providenciales for more than a decade.

SUI-REN, which serves Japanese and Peruvian fusion dishes, is a gourmet restaurant located at the luxurious Shore Club resort on Long Bay Beach.

Thai Restaurants

Kin Khao, located on Leeward Highway near Grace Bay, is an unassuming yet popular Thai restaurant that serves traditional dishes at a reasonable price. Entrée portions are typically large, so there’s plenty to go around. Both dine-in and takeout are available.

Thai Orchid in the Regent Village plaza of Grace Bay is another Thai restaurant serving classics such as pad Thai, soups, and curry.

Chinese Cuisine

The options for Chinese food on Providenciales are more limited than the options for other Asian cuisines.

Chinson’s, however, offers a tasty menu of Jamaican and Chinese dishes. Along with Caribbean favorites such as jerk and BBQ, this restaurant serves stir-fry, chop suey, fried rice, chow mein, and soups.

Indian Cuisine

There is a strong Indian cultural influence in the southern Caribbean and other parts of the West Indies, due to the migration of indentured servants and immigrants over the last few centuries to countries like Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, and Jamaica. The cuisines of these countries reflect that influence, as many dishes are made with curry, chickpeas, and other ingredients common in Indian cooking.

Roti, curry, and other traditional Indian food can be found at some of the smaller restaurants on Providenciales, including a couple in the Downtown region and SJ Curry Club located in the Glass Shack area.
