I ♥ George and Son's Asian Restaurant


Photos byLisa E White
For the best Asian restaurant in Scottsdale, go to a little gem on the corner of Via Linda and Frank Lloyd Wright called George and Son.  George Yang will likely be present and stop by your table to make sure everything is good, and regale you with stories of everything from golf and going to college in Utah, to his life in Burma.  After a few visits, you feel like family.  In addition, the food and service will make this restaurant worth a return visit.  Pictured are pot stickers, my favorite, but more unusual is the George's Bird Nest, which is shrimp, calamari and scallops in a garlic brown sauce nested in a noodle basket.  Menu items come from all over Asia with Burmese specialities, vegetarian dishes, and curries.  Try their lunch buffet from 11:30-2 each day for a taste of dishes that will bring you back for dinner.  The buffet food is real menu dishes, so much better than a restaurant that specializes in buffets.  And you'll find that George has a great taste in wine, reflected in his extensive wine list.
