17 sushi, Japanese, Chinese, Thai and Indian places in Tupelo, most on North Gloster Street, plus Barnes Crossing and downtown, with hours.
Last checked 2026-10-16. Refreshed every three months.
Most of Tupelo’s sushi and Asian restaurants are on North Gloster Street, from Ichiban and Sao Thai in the 600 and 700 blocks to Rock N’ Roll Sushi, Takumi and Panda Express on the north end. The mall at Barnes Crossing has two food court counters, and Hachi Machi is downtown on West Main Street.
How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Tupelo’s city limits, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 16, 2026. OpenStreetMap had few of these places for Tupelo, so we added the rest from the state health department’s Lee County food facility list, Visit Tupelo’s directory and the mall’s directory. Many have no website of their own; we list them only where a 2026 state inspection confirms they are operating, with the phone number on the state record. We left off Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant and Chiang Mai Thai, which have no 2026 inspection on record and whose sites did not load. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places? Write to us to correct your entry.
