Aziana: Decades of Asian Tradition with a Modern Fusion Twist

 
Sometimes the best gems are those slightly off the beaten path—hidden in plain sight, waiting to be discovered.
 
Aziana Restaurant is a favorite among locals while also attracting a loyal following of yacht crews, stayover visitors, and cruise passengers from around the world. As the busy streets of Philipsburg begin to quiet down, Aziana is just getting started.
 
The Wong family has built a long-standing reputation for outstanding Indonesian and Chinese cuisine, with the newest generation adding contemporary 21st-century twists to these beloved Asian traditions.

Cuisine & Signature Dishes to Try

 
The Wong family is renowned for its Indonesian and Chinese specialties but has also expanded its culinary horizons with Japanese cuisine. Many guests choose to mix and match dishes from across the menu.
 
Among the signature dishes are:

  • The famous Aziana Babi Pangang
  • The Aziana Platter, featured as its St. Maarten Flavors signature dish
  • An extensive selection of sushi rolls, platters, and Japanese specialties
  • Dutch pub favorites such as bitterballen, perfect to enjoy with a drink

Neighborhood Context: Philipsburg Marina

 
Aziana’s diverse clientele is due not only to its excellent reputation but also to its prime location. Parking is easy for both locals and stayover visitors, and while it sits just outside the main route taken by most cruise passengers, it requires only a short detour to discover that Aziana is conveniently located between downtown Philipsburg and the cruise port.
 
Directly across from the restaurant lies the Philipsburg Marina, making Aziana a favorite gathering place for sailors and yacht charter guests looking to unwind after a day on the water. Ferries to St. Barths depart from directly in front of the restaurant, as do catamaran excursions with Eagle Tours and private yacht charters.
 
During the day, Aziana also serves as an excellent starting point for exploring Philipsburg. Both the historic Front Street and the lively Boardwalk are just a short stroll away.

Why It’s Worth Visiting

 

  • The authentic Indonesian recipes attract diners from across the island, especially returning visitors who have known the Wong family for decades.
  • It offers one of the most beautiful sunset views in Philipsburg, overlooking Fort Amsterdam across Great Bay.
  • Lunch or dinner at Aziana pairs perfectly with a day of shopping, relaxing on Great Bay Beach, or visiting the St. Maarten Museum.

  • The youngest generation of the Wong family originally intended to move away from the restaurant’s legendary Babi Pangang. However, overwhelming demand from loyal customers convinced them to bring it back to the menu.
