5 sushi, Japanese, Thai and Chinese restaurants in Tuscaloosa with hours from their own sites: three on University Boulevard, plus 15th Street and Rice Mine Road.

Last checked 2026-10-17. Refreshed every three months.

Three of the five restaurants on this list are on University Boulevard, between downtown and the University of Alabama campus. Panda Express is on 15th Street East and Fujiyama is on Rice Mine Road NE in north Tuscaloosa.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Tuscaloosa’s city limits, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 17, 2026. We added Fujiyama and the Panda Express on 15th Street because their own sites give Tuscaloosa addresses. Many of the city’s family-run Chinese, Japanese and Indian restaurants are not here because we could not find a website of their own that loaded and gave a Tuscaloosa address: among them Aijan Sushi, Crimson Japanese Grill, Fuku Ramen, Kobe, Lai Lai, Lee Palace, Red Bowl Asian Bistro, Sitar of India and Tokyo Express. The Panda Express in the University of Alabama student center is not in the table. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it.
