LE Asian Restaurant in Airport City Reopens as Kosher, Delighting Diners

LE Asian, a well-known restaurant in Airport City, Lod, recently converted to kosher certification under the Lod Rabbinate, with some ingredients supervised by Badatz Beit Yosef. Food critic Galit Or visited shortly after the change and praised the menu and atmosphere. She highlighted dishes such as a crispy namas filled with chicken thighs, a refreshing cucumber salad with a spicy Asian dressing, and a crispy fish bao with vegan aioli and pickled chili. The yellow curry sea bream with coconut and rice impressed her, especially the flavorful stir-fried beans and greens.

Or also raved about the sushi, particularly the Jerusalem Gold roll featuring Jerusalem artichoke, truffle, and tuna, noting the rare inclusion of asparagus. The restaurant manager, Shahar, expressed joy over the new kosher clientele, saying, "It's only been three days since we became kosher, and the new customers are so sweet." The meal concluded with two dessert courses, including a creative frozen fruit dish with fruit purée, which added a modern touch to the dining experience.

LE Asian is located at 2 Negev Street, Airport City, Lod, and operates under regular kosher supervision.
