20 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Mountain Brook

“Ordered takeout for my wife and I, extremely happy with our choice. This will definitely be our go to restaurant and is worth exiting the downtown area for. Our bowls were fantastic and the ingredients were fresh and high quality. The pork belly bao mi was fantastic, would eat a bowl of the pork belly by itself if I had the option. The staff was extremely kind and helpful (thank you Danny) and our order was ready super quick. Definitely our favorite restaurant in Lane Park and will be on top of our list of go-to’s!“

“excellent Nigiri and Ramen! We will definitely be coming back!“

“My office loves catering Maki Fresh! The ingredients are always fresh and is always a hit, honestly it is hard to not want Maki Fresh EVERY time we get food. They are always timely and kind and I have never had an issue with an order from their store. I have had an issue through Uber while ordering Maki Fresh but their staff was extra accommodating, kind, and supportive throughout the whole process! Very thankful for their kindness and cannot recommend them enough!!! Thank you!“

“My son and I are in town for a baseball tournament and stayed around the corner from Eating Time. We noticed it yesterday after eating at the burger place next door. We wanted something different today so we stopped in after reading the reviews, and I’m really glad we did.

First, it was a smaller place with about 10 or so tables. It looked like a typical Chinese take-out place but that is where the similarities ended.

First we were greeted by the sweetest lady who sat us. She informed us the lunch special included a drink so we both got sodas. Originally we were doing water but she let us know we could get a soda as it’s included.

I ordered the sesame chicken and my son ordered the sweet and sour. These are our go to meals. We opted for egg drop soup and the meal also come with an egg roll.

The egg rolls and soup came out super fast. The sweet and sour sauce for the eggrolls is the best I have ever had. Also, I’m not normally a fan of egg drop soup but I went with it because I didn’t want the hot and sour soup. I’m glad I did. That soup is the best egg drop soup I have tasted. I ate mine and my sons because he wasn’t a fan of it. PLUS…they give you a huge basket of crunchy fried wonton strips with it.

The eggroll was good. It was on the smaller side in side…basically halfway between a spring roll and typical size eggroll.However, the highlight was the sweet and sour dipping sauce. 10/10. My sons who NEVER eats eggrolls ate this one and raved about the sauce. So…plus 1000 points just for that.

The entrees came right on time. It was served on and actual plate with some attention to presentation. Sesame chicken was just about perfect. Crunchy and sauced with plentiful sesame seeds. It was not highly breaded and soggy dripping with sauce. I think it would rival P.F. Chang’s unquestionably.

Fried rice was great. I make fried rice at home a ton so I am picky. This was a perfect pairing. A couple of pieces of broccoli and a bed of rice noodles under the chicken rounded off the plate and added a nice extra texture.

My son’s sweet and sour chicken looked like full chicken fingers they were so big. Definitely not the small mostly breaded chicken bits you get at most places.

Now for the best part….total bill for all of this was $26 and some change. After 25% tip we left paying under $35 for a fantastic meal.

I would go back over and over if I lived here. Just a solid and wonderful experience at a local restaurant. Stop by and support them!“

“We went to Shiki Restaurant to try it out for the first time. It was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. Great appetizers, sushi and Thai food. Check it out. You will enjoy.“

“Great bar to watch the game. Came the first time and Abbey was very nice and told me how they had the football package. I came back this week and Ashley was the bartender and was so cool and took care of the TVs drinks and food. Burger was delicious. Just needs more attention and to be promoted better imo.“

“The beef bulgogi is just delicious! Going back for the dumplings… the best I’ve ever had 🥟👍🏽. Great service too!“

“The absolute best!! We love Mr. West’s, can’t count how many times we’ve been since they opened! The food is always fresh and delicious, and comes so quickly! We have tried just about everything on the menu, and I’d recommend it all. My personal favorites are the shrimp tempura rice bowl, the spicy garlic noodles, the nachos, and the dumplings. You truly can’t go wrong!“

“It was delicious food our family enjoyed. It was fresh and hot food. We will definitely be back.“

“UPDATE 4/2023

Really fun menu, conveniet mobile ordering options. And plus you get to go drink some Good People Brewing Co. beer with it! Not much more to it than good food, good portions, and easy ordering.

OLD:
Would love to review the food. Showed up at 9:30 from out of town on recommendation. Stood at the window for about 10 minutes, was acknowledged with a “What’s your name?” said I hadn’t ordered yet, and was told “Kitchen’s fuckin’ closed.”“

“Great food and excellent service! Bamboo never disappoints!“

“We never have a bad experience at RNR Trussville, and it’s always our go to spot for sushi. The crab wontons were on point as usual and the sushi rolls tasted super fresh. Also, our server tonight, Britney, was super sweet and attentive to our needs. We will continue to keep visiting this location!“

“Great place to eat! Our family enjoys being together at Happy Wok and the food is always great. Large menu has something for everyone!“

“I'll keep it short and simple. The foods are outstanding. My personal favorite is the blackpepper shrimp. Very clean place run by friendly faces. They're really helpful and fast. 100% will come back again. Best food in the area.

Parking: Maybe fit 10-15 cars“

“Great food and service.“

“We stopped impromptu on a road trip with twin 1 year olds. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Our babies have egg allergies and they made sure there was no cross contamination. We always make a mess wherever we go so I try to clean up after ourselves and they refused, saying they just wanted us to have a good time. Great food and excellent service!“

“I had one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time at P.F. Chang’s, and it was entirely because of my server, Erin. I was dining alone, and she made what could have been a simple meal feel genuinely special from start to finish.

From the moment I sat down, Erin was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive in a way that felt natural—not forced or over the top. She has a rare ability to read the table perfectly. She checked in at just the right moments, anticipated what I needed before I even had to ask, and made thoughtful recommendations that were spot-on. Everything felt seamless.

What really stood out to me was how comfortable she made me feel dining alone. That’s not something every server does well, but Erin created such an easy, relaxed atmosphere that I never once felt out of place. She treated me with the same level of care and attention you’d expect for a large party or special occasion, which says a lot about her professionalism and character.

Beyond being attentive, she brought such a positive, genuine energy to the entire experience. You can tell she truly cares about her guests and takes pride in what she does—it shows in every interaction. It’s rare to come across service that feels this thoughtful and effortless at the same time.

Erin is an absolute standout and a huge asset to this location. Experiences like this are the reason people come back, and I will absolutely be returning—specifically hoping to be in her section again.

Thank you, Erin, for turning a simple solo dinner into something memorable.“
