50 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants in Chicago

“Have been here multiple times and it has been amazing every time, it is 100% my favorite restaurant. The food is amazing, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is stunning. Consistently have great service and amazing servers. Will visit every chance I get while in the city. :)“

“I’ve found one of the best ALL YOU CAN EAT HOTPOT experiences here in Chicagos south loop and it’s at Wagyu House! Everything is superior quality - the meats, the service and the ambiance. Their A5 Wagyu beef is FLOWN IN DAILY from Japan and Australia!!! Their AYCE option includes options like wagyu, crab legs, sushi, ramen, lobster and more; it’s unbelievably good! The shrimp balls were so good - Deep fried with a tasty sauce and I loved putting my crab legs in the broth and eating them warm; they honestly tasted great just chilled! This beautiful restaurant is great for a date night or girls night out and they even have happy hour and I love the little cute robot servers they have rolling around! The interior is very modern and even though there can be A LOT of people around, the noise doesn’t get overwhelming. Dont just take my word for it- go experience this amazing restaurant yourself!“

“Fabulous night last week Friday 4/19 and again for the Anniversary party tonight on 4/25. All the Managment team and Staff throughout the night were amazing. I would especially like to call out Lea, Leann, and Ace. On both nights not only did they take care of the parties I was with, they went above and beyond and treated us like family. I appreciate the kindness and the education about the fish and the drinks. Everyone is so amazing. Everyone is so amazing and kind. We couldn't be more happy with out experiences. My crew willbe returning again and again.“

“My absolute favorite tiki spot in Chicago. This is a place I always come no matter how long I'm visiting Chicago.Atmosphere: It's so fun, feels very tiki like and tropic. Even the staffs uniform fits so perfectly with the theme.Drinks: LOVE LOVE most of the drinks on the menu. I'm a huge tiki fan and a bit of a snob when it comes to the drinks but this place always gets it right. My favorite drink will always be Three Dots and a Dash.Food: We got the veggie curry and spring rolls. The curry was really good and kind of on the spicy side. Note, it's a pretty big bowl of curry so could even be shared. The spring roll filling was delicious, the roll itself was a bit more oily than other ones I've had.Prices are fairly reasonable considering the amount of food and drink you get.“

“All I can say is WOW! This steakhouse was incredible! Cannot recommend enough. The meat paradise was truly an experience and a delicious one at that. Our server, Leo, was probably one of the best servers we’ve ever had anywhere with his charismatic personality and caring service. He truly made this restaurant a memorable time! Forget about Brazilian steak houses or what not, money was WAY better spent here! Photo is before the delicious steak was grilled to our liking in front of us.“

“Got the 60-min Bougie Experience (17-courses for $100) - the sushi was fresh and delicious! Only con is that the nigiris served were pretty small and we were still hungry at the end and ordered a bunch of a la carte items after.Get the a la carte Big Mac (Toro + Scallop + Uni) - absolutely scrumptious!Absolutely beautiful restauraunt, perfect for dates.“

“Stopped in because I was soooo hungry and forgot my yogurt in the fridge and had a 10 A.M. meeting. The guy, who I assume is the owner, was beyond nice and HONEST. When I asked him how long it would take to get something with eggs to go he said like 5 min. He was spot on! Had a steak and egg sandwich - normally do not eat that way in the morning but it was EGGSELLENT! Will be back for sure when I am in the area to try something else! The place is also very clean, so I really hit the jackpot today!!! Love the name too LOL“

“Somehow got lucky and got seated as we walked in. A quick summary:1.) Ordered Sen Cha tea, beef gyoza, and Monster ramen. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted great. Only thing I didn’t like was the limited menu add on options compared to some other ramen places around Chicago.2.) Parking can be difficult to find in the area when it’s busy.3.) Service is top line. They refill waters/tea and clear dishes so fast. Dessert menu came immediately after the main course.“

“Great service paired with very affordable sushi options for the size of the portions, and you can't go wrong with a sake flight!I hope more people come here, we came on a Thursday and we were the only people in there at 8p which was sad given how good everything was.Our server was so nice and all of the food came out quickly.Apps:-We started with the Wings and Gyoza and both were fineSushi:-We did the windy city and Hi Jack and we loved both of them and the rolls were huge!Drinks:-$25 for Sake flight is great!We will def come back but I hope more people start to support them.“

“My wife and I loved the steamed dumplings with mild sauce. The dumplings were very good with or without sauce, but the sauce was delicious too. Chicken tikka masala was one of the best tasting we’ve ever had. Samosa chaat was very good too, one of the better ones. The garlic naan was a bit more plain tasting than we’d live. We highly recommend this place overall and will definitely eat here again and try other stuff!“

“Great casual Korean bbq neighborhood spot. Real good value for the price. Our favorite dishes are the steamed dumplings and OG chicken. Bibimbop when had dining in so it is hot and crispy is also great. Tacos are fine and sandwiches are just ok.“

“Unbelievable ramen! I could have just drank the broth! The noodles and the pork belly were an added bonus lol! Come hungry, a lot of food! Will be back for sure! I had the umami ramen and the spicy level 2 is not really spicy at all, which was fine with me. Can’t wait to go back!“

“First visit: We went for drinks on a Sat and had a great time with bartenders, Daniel and Sam. We knew we had to come back to try the food.The very next weekend we came for brunch. It was worth it. The food was excellent. Service was great again. Really enjoyed the brunch menu and atmosphere.“

“Recently tried Sushi Hall and loved it. Such a cool new spot in Lincoln park with a speakeasy bar. Really like the colors and vibes of this place . The service is also quick and the staff is friendly. The food was a 10/10. Unforgettable taste, impeccable craftsmanship, and a symphony of freshness await you at Sushi Hall. This is probably my FAVORITE spot I've been to recently. It has an outdoor patio too, making it the perfect spot for SUMMER. We tried the Hamachi on the Hall, The Friends Night Out, The Moulton, Gyoza, and Togarashi Fries. Each dish was so flavorful and the portion sizes were good too. Hamachi on the hall was my absolute favorite. I will definitely be back to try other things on their menu.“

“Grew up right down the block from this building and it amazes me how much this restaurant has impacted the neighborhood. I adore Mott st for many reasons but the food is definitely a major factor. Mott st is an Asian American restaurant that pairs eastern cooking techniques with Chicago ingredients to create umami laden flavors. Some of my top dishes that I never think twice about is definitely the Mott burger, stuffed cabbage, Korean mussels hot pot, everything wings and mango sticky rice!The burger is to die for! From the textures to the flavors is absolutely insane. Love getting the wings because they pair them with tzatziki instead of ranch which is brilliant. Mussels hot pot truly hits home and pairing it with the garlic fried rice or shrimp noodles is a bonus. I’ve also paired the mussels before with the stuffed cabbage which also blew my mind.Stuffed cabbage on its own is absolutely bananas. The pan seared kimchi and braised pork shoulder complements the kimchi broth so well yet emphasizes the crispy rice. Definitely a dish I will never get tired of.Somehow I always manage to devour 5-8 dishes and still have room for dessert. We decided to order all 3 desserts since they never disappoint. I was so happy when I saw that they brought back the mango sticky rice!!! I swear by this dessert, reminds me of my childhood it’s so nostalgic and tasty. Chocolate Bundt cake with pickled kumquats was delicious and warm ricotta donuts were so good with a berry jam dip.Mott st is a restaurant I never miss to mention to my friends. Truly a gem in wicker park.Parking: Mott st offers a small parking spot but it’s only five spaces so if there’s none available street parking is basically your only option.Kid-friendliness: Saw a few kids as I was dining and seemed to be enjoying the food as well.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor no stairs extremely easy to maneuver with a wheelchair.“

“Excellent food. Lots of vegetables. Noodles are hand pulled and everything is fresh and prepared daily. Service is flatware and the place is spotless. Also great value for the amount of food you get. Highly recommend. Owner is also super nice!“

“Talk about heaven in a bowl. It was my bday week and a friend wanted to take me out. I had seen this video on Instagram of someone enjoying a bowl of ramen with a colossal beef rib and was intrigued enough to see it for myself. The interior had a fabulous island Filipino vibe with greens and oranges. The staff was diverse and accommodating. I spilled my water in the first minutes of my experience, and the staff was so quick and helpful to respond. My friend and I got drinks. I initially ordered Old Fashioned, and I can't remember what she first did, but it was purple, and I ended up liking hers more, so we traded. For appetizers, we got delicious dumplings and the roasted duck bun, which was also super tasty, and I highly recommend it. Regarding the main course, I came here for one mission, the beef Rib Ramen. Words can't fully express or comprehend how delicious this bowl of excellence was. So many flavors of spice balance in the broth accompanying fresh noodles, and laid enormously over the bowl is a four-hour roasted bone-in rib. Upon picking the rib up, the meat fell into the broth as if to say I was ready. It was simply delicious and, by far, one of the best meals I've ever had. The broth and noodles were also excellent and complemented the meal perfectly. My friend and I both enjoyed it as she also enjoyed her meal. Overall, this was the most accessible five stars I've ever given. Please enjoy Bite. They deserve your business. 5 out of 5“

“We love Malaysian food especially Peranakan! The portions are American hahaha but it's okay. The Char Kway Tiau, Nasi Lemak, Satay, Ayam Masak Merah etc., etc., etc. Just great food and the owner engages with patrons. Oh yes, Chili Crabs finger licking good“

“A long overdue review. Noodlebird is one of the best restaurants in Chicago. Every dish is full-flavored, bold, and made with thoughtful and creative pairings. The smoked tofu is incredible, the curry is my favorite, the peanut noodles are so soft and delicious, and the veggie Mac soup is one of my favorites. The bakery is also one of the best in the city.The creative desserts like mochi doughnuts, banana caramel brownie (my favorite brownie ever), the egg tarts (a must if you’ve never tried), the passion fruit Masada, and so many more are the perfect way to end the meal.The service is top notch, timely, super friendly, and warm.Noodlebird deserves any and all accolades for its super-creative dishes, friendly service, intensely flavored food, etc.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Café Alif! The food was delicious and the staff were extremely friendly. This was my first time trying Kyrgyz food and they gave me a great recommendation on which dish I should try. I plan on coming back here and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who goes to Little India!“

“Went to try this place for my 1st time. When I went in I wasn't sure if I was in the right place. They have construction going on inside and there wasn't a name on the building or inside. Felt confused if I was in some type of office warehouse or something not sure. But I have to admit their food was amazing ?. They have so many choices to pick from. I definitely will be going back to try different plates. The price for the bowls is fair not over priced.“

“Decided to drop in and order food after watching John Oliver’s piece on how Grubhub and others cut into the margins.I’m happy I dropped by because Vito was really helpful, provided some employee suggestions on sauces, which I would not have had through the apps.The service was quick, friendly, and portions were good. If most to go experiences were like this I could see myself dropping in to take out food more often instead of ordering through delivery apps.“

“I loved “Perilla” …Please do not think of this as your typical Korean BQ grill/Restaurant. This is the most excellent Korean BQ restaurant I have ever been in and I have been in quite few over the years both in Korea back in the day and in the USA…Tomba⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I am proud to recommend Mrs Craig Vanessa for a selfless and reliable investment service. I was constantly looking for a reliable platform to invest and my friend introduced me to her platform and I realized this is the best platform to invest on because she maintains discipline in her investment relationship and strategies to ensure the complete transparency and credibility of her investors. She helped me gained $16,000 with just a capital of $2,000. If you want to be financially successful invest with her ASAP via WhatsApp through Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“During a class, I asked for suggestions for Vietnamese food and this was the suggestion.We arrived around 5:30ish on a Wednesday and was immediately seated. We placed our orders and the food began arriving...Every single item ordered was hot and fresh. We started with springrolls, they were small and unassuming but we were so wrong. That filling was perfectly seasoned. We had the crispy wings and it you like plain wings with an amazing crunch....this should be your go to. Those wings were dynamite.We ordered flank pho...the small bowl and it was ginormous. The broth was perfection and the fresh veggie platter was plentiful.Overall this was a great choice that was very reasonably priced.“

“I’ve gone here multiple times and done takeout multiple times. It is honestly a favorite neighborhood gem. The service when dining in is truly great and some of the best in Lakeview!! The food is always consistent and the atmosphere is quite adorable…great for friends or date night - either way! Thank you to the staff! A young gentleman was our server twice and he was phenomenal.Favorites: Shanghai Lo Mein & Mongolian Beef“

“All the Korean food that I love is all in a burrito! They have kimchi fried rice as the base and you can pick your protein. I got the spicy pork and thought the spice level was jus right. If you're really sensitive to spice I would try a taco because the kimchi fried rice might be too spicy. It took under 10 minutes for 2 burrito orders and the workers were friendly. I would recommend stopping by because it's so cute inside.“

“Omg when I say me and my kids just killed the samples marko let us try I had to go back in and order fye fye fye food was so delicious and great customer service too don’t hesitate to eat here I promise you will not be disappointed and reasonable prices too!!!!“

“Rice and Bread has been there for a long time. The original owner sold it to the current owner and he has maintained its charm. I don't think I've ever eaten American style food there because I love the Korean offerings. The food is amazing.The decor is dated but the service is wonderful. The same server has been there forever too.You get a lot of food for the money“

“Quiet hole in the wall place. Worth every penny and definitely coming back. Satay chicken was perfect, tender and juicy and the sauce on the side is essentially peanut butter with coconut milk. The Nong Thong were fried extra crispy and are really hot when served, definitely wait a minute before grabbing and it comes with sweet chilli sauce, but the sweet chilli sauce is the stuff you can get at the store. Their salad has a nice light vinaigrette on it. Their Tom Yum soup is sour, threw us off initially and if you get it medium heat, it's really spicy and the spice coats everything. The pineapple fried rice is a really large serving, almost seems likes it's supposed to be shared by the table. Again, medium heat is pretty spicy, but on the pineapple fried rice it's a slow build and it lingers for a long time. That being said, the spice is only in the mouth and doesn't burn the stomach.Vegetarian options: Lots of tofu or imitation meat optionsDietary restrictions: Can be veganParking: Parking is a crap shootKid-friendliness: Easy with the spice level, medium is not for beginnersWheelchair accessibility: First floor, no steps“

“Our waiter Kong was so attentive and very helpful with choices from the menu since this was our first time eating at this restaurant. The sushi was amazing! We had the Crab Wontons, Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen, the Lobster fried rice, Rock N Roll, Spice Girl, and the Spicy Cowboy rolls. The atmosphere, staff, and food will definitely have us coming back when we are in town!“

“We went to furama for dim sum & drag! delicious dishes with lots of vegetarian options and fun drinks. Beautiful big room, perfect for the event! Employees were helpful and accommodating for dietary restrictions. Will definitely be returning!“

“Ordered ahead and it took about 20 minutes to be ready. Got back and was amazed by the quality of the bread / filling. My favorite had to be the bulgogi sando or the strawberry ube. Would definitely recommend trying as someone who is from out of town.“

“Ordered takeout and everything was amazing!! Would highly recommend checking this place out, we tried a bit of everything. The seafood was fantastic and very fresh tasting, the beef was very flavorful and juicy, and the chicken was super crispy. Would love to go back to try the chili fusion shrimp and crab rangoon next time!“

“Got the omakase. The first half was great! Loved the first half. After the second half it was regular foods, simple sushi/nigiri. I was expecting more customization like the first half. At $90 I expected to be wowed the whole time but it definitely got mediocre after the shooters. We got their toro from the today's special and that alone was better than the omakase.**Overall would come back but not for omakase.“

“Had a great time! The selection of meats and seafood they had was certainly adequate, would have preferred some more exotic cuts that I've found at other places, but I understand that that's simply what likely moves the most. Would happily go back again!“

“04/02/24 - What an awesome add to the neighborhood. Teriyaki Madness is in the mall next to The Smash burger on Foster Ave. It's less than 1/2 mile from my house. I actually sampled their chicken teriyaki @ a Yelp event up in Lake Bluff @ Bernie's Book Bank. Teriyaki Madness has a store up in Gurnee, IL The teriyaki comes in 3 different sizes, Junior, regular or large. I ordered the regular sized chicken teriyaki bowl & it was more than enough for me as I had a little bit of left overs to take home. They have different options like regular or spicy chicken, chicken breast teriyaki, steak teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, tofu teriyaki & chicken katsu. Wry good seasoning w Great options. They also have appetizers like edamame, egg rolls, chicken potstickers & crab Rangoon. I was very pleasantly surprised w/the grilled chicken teriyaki served over brown rice w/veggies like cabbage & broccoli. I really enjoyed my meal & scarfed it down. I will definitely be back to try some of their other items like the steak teriyaki or chicken katsu.“

“Was seated immediately w/o a reservation, even on a very busy Saturday night. Service was lightning-fast, barely had time to sit down before water and hot tea was already delivered. Amazing selection of dim sum, ordered a variety of dishes and was more and more pleased with each dish as it arrived.Cannot recommend this place enough.“

“The best hotpot I’ve ever been to in Chicago, IL.The whole restaurant was filled with large groups of people. Love the tomato and original broth. We got the all you can eat option and the lamb and garlic beef tasted great. I was able to reserve on the website with my group of 8 without any problems. Quick and good service!“

“Came in for the Mini Beef Bowl and it didn't disappoint. The beef was nicely seasoned and all the ingredients were fresh. Lots of take out business but it was early lunch time when I was there. Will definitely come back to try other options as they sound great.“

“The food is amazing on it's own, and is great for people with restrictions that would want a more customizable experience. However the reason I'm writing this review is for the workers. I have ordered from here many times, to the point that they recognize me, and I have never had such consistently great service from every single worker at a restaurant like this.Being disabled means that sometimes I can only make myself eat one meal a day, and despite the fact that I've never shared that with any of the workers here, they ALWAYS make sure that the bowls I order are just about as full as possible. You will NOT feel skimped on your portion sizes here, and I cannot say how grateful I am to the workers who definitely don't know how much they've helped me.Vegetarian options: They have meatless mondays, which is basically just a free 20% off for vegetarians on mondays, and their vegetarian options are clearly labeled and plentiful.Dietary restrictions: They have options for just about every restriction, as their dishes are all gluten free (or at least most are) and their selection is highly customizable.Wheelchair accessibility: Sadly their location is not accessible, and I as an ambulatory user have to walk in to get my food.“

“wowwww what a place!!!! What a mix of emotions!! Ever since I enter the restaurant I felt like I was in Japan. Really good environment, good place and better service!! There was a server with long hair, I think it was Ernesto that was amazing, best service I received in Miami so far. Will come back for sure. The bartender Lucas is too cute!! And Noah omg!!!! I felt in love. Really great people, enjoyed a lot my lunch, will be back soon! Thank you Ernesto!!!“

“Very nice place, especially if you just want a really relaxing atmosphere, great vibes, super sweet and friendly and not to mention quick service with a smile. Sushi is fresh, Ramen is very delicious and flavorful. I can drink the broth by itself. But all and all, "It's a must go check out." ... This was family time!!!Parking: Yes, you still have to pay the parking meter on the weekends. I'm just telling you now. CPD is down the street...“

“What a lovely marvel - a mid century modern, quietly spacious Chinese restaurant with a select menu that fits in a small, two page flyer. The service was super friendly and gracious, all questions answered. We had a small dim sum lunch and each dish was prepared to order, some of the best I've had - steamed shrimp dumplings, bbq pork bau, sticky rice with pork wrapped in a leaf and steamed. Even the subtle music - beautiful jazz singing - made us happy. I so want to come back to this gem next time I'm in CHI.“

“Had the lunch special of salad, soup, drink and the double stack roll. As usual, everything was delicious & portions were large Service was prompt and friendly. Place was cozy and quiet. Also ordered the Honey & Dragon Roll to go. Will definitely order again !“

“Great food! I will definitely return! We had the Drunken Noodles, Mango Chicken, Rendang Chicken, Curry Laksa. All were very delicious. Big porions. Don't miss the Roti appetizer! So good!!! Good value. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“I come here for the Bring It On Noodles. This is a soup that tastes like nothing I've ever had. It combines the best of Thai flavors. The soup is spicy, tangy, sweet, savory, and packed with umami flavor. All of the elements of this soup pair so well together. 10/10 for this soup that I have damn near once/week. The owner knows me well at this point. Please taste this soup!“

“I love it here so much! Pho is phenomenal along with their hot tea and bobas! I’m never disappointed. They have friendly staff and the food comes out so quickly! Always a hands down, no brainer choice for Pho and definitely will keep coming back :) thank you so much!“

“Absolutely Love ? this place it’s a vibe and the Food ? is incredible for the Price, people are friendly with a mix crowed which I appreciate. However, the signage… we need a bigger Brighter sign so we can see the location at night… that would be my only recommendation ???✨“

“Ordered from here for the first time, as it’s super close by and I’m beyond impressed. They left a nice personalized note with my order and the food was to die for. I had the crispy garlic sesame fusion chicken bowl with the garlic butter fried rice and chicken dumplings. The combination of flavors was amazing and for a great price. I can’t wait to try more things on the menu. Thank you so much! Sorry didn’t take a picture of the food as I couldn’t wait to dive in. It looked scrumptious!“
