Reading and Berks County are home to delicious cuisine from Asia and the Pacific Islands. Restaurants across Berks are serving authentic and inspired dishes from Vietnam, Japan, Thailand, China, Korea and across the islands of Pacific. Take a look at the places we’ve found on the Berks County Eats journey:

Eve's Thai Kitchen is one of a growing number of excellent eateries at the Shillington Farmers Market. We definitely approve of the pineapple fried rice.
