Ichiban Asian Cuisine

A Chinese dim sum table, roast duck rice and a separate Asian menu

S Northshore Dr

7507 S Northshore Dr, Knoxville, TN 37919865-690-7999

Asia Kitchen

Hunan-named fish, clay pot meals and Chinese vegetables

Kingston Pike at 8511

8511 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919865-670-9858

Asia Kitchen's operator site names Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine at 8511 Kingston Pike. Its linked All Day Menu separates clay pot meals, fire pot dishes, Chinese vegetables and a Hot & Spicy section from pho. The meal here is fish with Hunan chopped chili, a named vegetable plate and dumplings.

Build an order. Order Fish Filet w. Hunan Chopped Chili $18.95 from Hot & Spicy, with Chinese Broccoli in Garlic Sauce $14.75 and Steamed Dumplings (6 pieces) $6.75. The Hot Pot section lists Seafood w. Tofu in Clay Pot $21.25; Fire Pot lists Stir Fried Cauliflower on Fire Pot $15.45. These are individually named dishes rather than evidence of a self-cooked hot pot service. The menu explicitly names Ma-Po Tofu w. Ground Pork and String Beans w. Ground Pork, so neither is treated as a meatless choice.

Before you go. The operator homepage lists Monday and Wednesday-Sunday 11:00 AM-9:30 PM, Tuesday closed. Its linked menu displayed Pickup ~40min and Open at 11:00 AM during the early-morning fetch; that estimate is a snapshot, not a promised wait. Phone 865-670-9858.

Double cooked pork, vegetable dumplings and string beans

N Broadway St at 5210

5210 N Broadway St, Knoxville, TN 37918865-687-8988

Chef Ben's Broadway menu makes the size distinction visible: many soups and wok plates have pint and quart prices, while Double Cooked Pork and Sautéed String Bean have one displayed price each.

Build an order. Order 84. Double Cooked Pork $13.25 with 91. Sautéed String Bean $13.25 and 7. Vegetable Dumplings (8) $7.15; the dumpling's steamed and fried variants both show $7.15. The menu also lists 15. Dim Sum (6) $6.50 without identifying a dumpling type, so it is not called siu mai, har gow or soup dumplings. For noodles, 45. Singapore Chow Mei Fun $13.95 sits in a section described as Fried Soft Rice Noodles.

Before you go. The operator homepage and Location and Hours page both list 11:00 AM-9:00 PM daily. The rendered ordering menu displays Pick up. Phone 865-687-8988. The chosen pork and string bean prices are single listings, while the vegetable dumpling's two preparations share a price; pint prices from other dishes are not substituted for full portions here.

Asian Yummy's menu explicitly separates Chinese Dishes from sushi, hibachi, ramen and pho.

The meal chosen here uses the Chinese section and the named dumpling starter.

Vegetable Hibachi $11.95 is a separate vegetable-named option with zucchini, broccoli, mushroom and onion, rather than a claim about Chinese regional cooking. Pork Stuffed Bao (3) $6.50 and Pork Stuffed Bao (2) $6.50 are separate titles; the two-piece version is explicitly described as Pan Fried. Neither is labelled soup dumplings.

A little more clarity.

Which Knoxville menu explicitly lists dim sum and soup dumplings?

Ichiban's Northshore menu has a 点心 Dim Sum section and explicitly lists 14. 小笼包 Steam Soup Dumplings at $9.00, 1. 水晶虾饺 Shrimp Dumpling at $8.00 and separate pork, shrimp and beef shumai. These dim sum titles do not state serving counts. Chef Ben's Dim Sum (6) is a generic title without a verified dumpling subtype.

Where can I find Hunan-named dishes and clay pot meals?

Asia Kitchen's operator-linked menu lists Fish Filet w. Hunan Chopped Chili at $18.95 in Hot & Spicy and Seafood w. Tofu in Clay Pot at $21.25. China Jiang lists Hunan Beef at $14.95. These are source-named dishes; the guide does not turn them into claims that either kitchen specializes exclusively in a region.

Which of these Knoxville kitchens list delivery?

Asian Yummy's operator-linked delivery-info page specifies a 10-mile radius, $10 minimum and fees from $7.98 through 5 miles to $12.98 through 10 miles, and says third-party services might fulfill orders. Dynasty Express links DoorDash and Uber Eats and warns their prices and fees may differ. The other five fetched ordering routes display pickup; this does not prove no other channel exists.

What vegetable or tofu choices do the menus name?

Examples are Ichiban's Baby Bok-Choy with Garlic Sauce, Asia Kitchen's Chinese Broccoli in Garlic Sauce, Chef Ben's Sautéed String Bean, China Jiang's Mixed Vegetables, China Lee's bean curd with mixed vegetables and black bean sauce, and Asian Yummy's General Tso's Tofu. Ask about broth and sauce ingredients. Asia Kitchen explicitly names ground pork in its Ma-Po Tofu and string beans, while Ichiban names minced pork in its string beans.

How should I compare prices and closing days?

All prices were fetched on 2026-10-09 from each branch's own or operator-linked online menu. China Lee's plus signs are retained as displayed price markers. Dynasty warns partner delivery prices may differ. Ichiban and China Jiang close Monday, Asia Kitchen and Dynasty close Tuesday, Asian Yummy closes Wednesday, and Chef Ben lists daily hours; check the individual branch before a trip.
