Welcome to Taipan Asia

Darlington’s Destination for Refined Pan-Asian Dining

At Taipan Asia, we bring together the bold flavours of the East with the elegance of contemporary dining. Located in the heart of Darlington, our restaurant offers a carefully curated menu inspired by the diverse cuisines of China, Japan, Thailand, and beyond — from delicate sushi and steaming dumplings to aromatic curries and signature fusion dishes.

Downstairs, experience refined à la carte dining in a stylish, modern setting. Upstairs, discover The Taipan Lounge — a hidden gem open late on select weekends, serving over 50 handcrafted cocktails, sushi, and street food in a moody, luxurious atmosphere with live vinyl DJs.

Whether you’re joining us for dinner, drinks, or the full evening experience, Taipan Asia is your escape into the flavours and soul of Pan-Asian indulgence.
