50 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Alameda

“Food was bomb of course ( crab fried rice, salt and pepper chicken and broccoli). This time we grabbed ice-cream and it was delicious! Scoops were nice and healthy...lol, didn't feel like we paid an arm and a leg for ice-cream which is typical these days! Now, I have a new spot for strawberry cheesecake ice-cream and real cookies and cream....Yummy!“

“We initially tried to come here on a Friday at 7 PM but there seemed to be a long wait so we decided to check it out on a Wednesday and we only had to wait about 10-15 minutes for a table. This location was originally a Taco Bell, but I love the atmosphere there, friendly, good service and comforting food! It's a cozy place perfect for a cold wintry day to have your own little boiling hot pot of tasty broth and hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals! Hubby ordered the Lau Pork Bone Marrow and I had the Lau Oxtail. I ordered the Oxtail without the tripe, just more oxtail! The hot pot came out boiling with oxtail and beef balls. All I had to do was cook the egg noodles, taro, tofu, cabbage, veggies into the soup as there was plenty of delicious oxtail and meat balls in the delicious broth! Great for a bone chilling night! Next time I'd love to try the shaken beef!“

“nice variety of food which was amazing. definitely going back“

“We just went for our 3rd visit over the weekend, and they have hit the mark for me every time.

Our first visit back in December had a bit of a wait as there were many big parties, but it honestly wasn't bad/long. Other visits have had no waiting times.

Order at the counter or on your phone from QR codes on your table - there's a big menu on one wall and typical menu sized copies at the counter. The staff is overall great - there's a particular young man who treats us so well and gets us whatever we need every time.

The music can definitely be on the louder end and varies, but it completely adds to the experience! I love that I feel like I can let a wall down, do my little happy dances in my seat, and enjoy their delicious food and drinks.

We absolutely love: the garlic noodles, the chicken wings (with General Tsos sauce) are out of this world, the Monkey King fried rice, and we just tried their calamari which was delish!

Definitely a one of a kind place with spectacular food, great portions and good service. Thanks Monkey King team!“

“Ever since the Marugame Alameda location opened, it’s been a main staple for my routine! The staff are kind and attentive, and the food is delicious. Compared to other locations, I’d say the Alameda location is among the better ones I have visited over the years. Even though the location is fairly new, opening this past year, it’s helped heightened my expectations of Marugame locations. I highly recommend coming here and ordering the Gyudon!“

“El arroz frito está delicioso y sus vegetales 🥒!!“

“We brought our friend here to celebrate his birthday because we wanted to gift an experience. We saw you featured on Check Please . . . And you guys WOW’d us beyond our expectations!! Amazing staff! And amazing food . . And yes, amazing cocktails!! Down to the last finishing touches ! We will definitely be back !“

“Amazing food 👍😊great taste and very creative 😉 excellent service! Highly recommended 👍“

“Located on the Bay Street Plaza in Emeryville, on the second floor next to Barnes and Nobles. Saucy Asian is a Korean fusion restaurant. It’s a trendy place and is pretty busy all the way to closing time. We came in today after shopping at the new Tokyo Central across the street for a late dinner. We ordered at 7:58pm and did not receive our food until 8:26pm which was quite long wait for what we ordered. There is some indoor seating as well as outdoor seating.

As for food we ordered:
- Saucy Asian Bowl
- Saucy Asian Fries
- Island Style Poke Bowl (combo: half tuna/half Salmon)

All the food were good, have no complaints, but have had better elsewhere. Overall, if we’re in the mood for their food, we would come back.“

“I had a belly burrito add shrimp✊🏽💯 it was🔥🔥couldnt finish it #fakefatguy nowadays😅socially distant👍🏽in door seating as well as outdoor great food gud service #getchusum“

“The vegetarian food was great! Love the potatoes from Szechuan!“

“My food was absolutely amazing I’m from Rochester New York“

“Tigon is excellent, above par, a hidden gem on San Pablo. I've probably been here 5-6 times now with my fiance. She gets the same thing every time: Catfish Sweet and Sour Soup and she swears it gets better every single time. On the other hand, I try something new every time because each dish I've had has been better than the last. Catfish Claypot, Pho, and Papaya Salad are all big hitters.“

“Ordered from here for a friend with food restrictions and Daniel was so wonderful and helpful! I really felt like he cared about my friends partners health restrictions and I can imagine any place who treats their customers with so much love and attention does so to their food as well! Next time I’m in Oakland, I will try this food out myself! Hope my pals enjoy the meal though! It’s clearly made with a labor of love and thoughtfulness!!“

“Yummy food and great service!“

“While they're known for their matcha smoothies, they also have some great food options such as their pork belly rice and their croffle sandwiches.

Note that the food can take a while to make as most people order drinks, but it is prepared with much care.

There are a few dining tables inside, but there are also picnic benches outside. Ordering is done on a kiosk and they provide trays for the compostable tableware.“

“I got the smoothie, a side of steamed veggies and a tofu bowl and not only were all three clearly made with high quality, organic ingredients, but they were absolutely delicious. 10/10. But what impressed me even more than the food tonight was the thoughtfulness of the gentleman working. They closed at 11:30 pm (bless them for being the only vegan, organic food in the area open that late) and was cutting it close to get there before closing time. When I arrived 1 or 2 minutes after 11:30, I was worried that I had missed my opportunity and screwed up, but no - a thoughtful young man was literally standing in front of the restaurant with my order, waiting for me. He definitely didn’t have to do that - service is way above and beyond - 20/10! That wonderful young man saved me after I hadn’t eaten all day and couldn’t find anything vegan open late, I’m so grateful. <3

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and organic to boot!

Dietary restrictions: Tons of amazing gluten free, vegan, organic options.“

“Was visiting the Bay Area for BTS concert and found this place randomly and wow, glad I found this place. Probably one of the best thing we had in the Bay Area and we went to a lot of places! The Char Siu was so good! Must try when in the area! Owner was also really nice and friendly!“

“Nice place & delicious food 😋😋 🥘👍“

“Fresh, innovative ingredients and flavor pairings led to my very happy tummy. Generous portions too!“

“I saw the ratings and didn't know what to expect. Brought my family here to avoid the Berkely Parents' Weekend crowds. I was so pleasantly surprised the quality of the food and service. The roti is so fresh - perfectly crispy and chewy. The spices on the food and house coconut dipping sauce offered so much flavor - we were all blown away. Our kids loved the Thai Tea. Accomodates vegan taste buds and all other dietary preferences.“

“My friend and I came here and ate at the counter downstairs. I really enjoyed the Filipino fusion plate we got. It was delicious and tasted like I was at my auntie’s house, but with an elevated twist.

We then took our drinks and went upstairs. We played games that were available and then listened to folks sing karaoke. We works up the nerve to sing ourselves.

It looked like there was an extra room for private parties.

Very welcoming vibes. Everyone was friendly. Most fun I had in Oakland in awhile. Would def come back! Maybe I’ll learn mahjong next time.“

“Their onigiri is really good! I’m not always in the mood for spam, but they have plenty of options without spam too, and I haven’t had anything I haven’t liked yet. They partner with several delivery services and their food always is packed well and is ready quickly for the drivers. Definitely recommend!“

“The decor was festive and abundant in the best way possible, and the cocktails looked unique and curiosity-piquing. I narrowed my choices down to a Cafe Sua Daddy and the Soy Sauce Old Fashioned.

I love a savory drink and the sweet caffeinated espresso martini-esque drink had a thick blanket of just-salty-enough foam reminiscent of the salt cream that tops a boba drink. The Soy Sauce Old Fashioned catapulted me back to my childhood, eating slabs of tofu drenched in shoyu at my grandma's house. I loved the custom soy bottle presentation, it was just strong enough to tolerate being poured over a large rock while maintaining its flavor.

My partner had the Umami Tots and Mapo Tofu. I couldn't resist the siren song of some crispy potatoes dunked in chili oil cream, but managed to hold myself back on the tofu- even though it smelled amazing.

Can't wait to return and try the new seasonal drinks, along with more snacks.“

“Not the absolute best boba place but certainly the most bang for your buck if you want to order snacks and a tea. My orders are always ready pretty fast and anything fried is made to order and very fresh. Also, I've never had any mistakes with my orders, and I've been to this location over ten times. I especially like the tiger milk tea and the oolong milk tea.“

“The food was soo delicious!! 10/10 recommend the Yellow Curry with Chicken. Gorgeous ambiance and amazing service. The Thai tea was also delicious. My first time here and would definitely recommend this place. Great price too! The Curry comes with rice also!“

“Atmosphere, customer service, prices and the freaking food is amazing 😍. Highest rated casual dining from Hayward to Vallejo! For good reason! This is a must if in the area. We will be back!“

“Fantastic food and amazing service!!“

“Wonderful hospitality and warmth coming from the Host Ty Do letting me know more about the Cambodian culture. And BIG Wow on the Sea Food dish: 637. SALMON IN GARLIC BASIL WINE SAUCE : Poached salmon topped w/ roasted garlic, basil, & black mushroom in reduced wine sauce. It's divine! It's my new hot restaurant spot in The Little Town of Alameda.“

“Deliciously wonderful unique food.“

“On my way to the Bayfair farmer’s market I saw a guy bbq out on the sidewalk today. After the market, I decided to stop and long behold I found this place! 😄. had the delicious “Thank Que bowl and lumpia”. So fresh, tasty and delicious! I will be back.....thank u Chef Rene!“

“Such a special gem of a place! Perfect for group dinners too (make reservations!)- we celebrated the lunar new year with a vegan Chinese new year dinner here in their cozy dining room with such good vibes, and unique authentic dishes like lotus root and lychee in the sweet & sour seitan dish 🤯

It’s big enough to have a large group table (we had 12) and quiet enough to feel like you’re all celebrating together. This is very hard to find in the bay!

Grateful this place exists, bringing such good vibes and animal love to Oakland ♥️“

“Cool place (love the decor/style), nice staff & tasty food. Some dishes you will not find in the average Thai restaurant in the Bay Area. For example, the chef or owner is from northern Thailand so the menu features a top Northern Thai dish - Kao Soi noodle soup (beef or chicken), or the all time fav 'street food' grilled pork skewers (moo ping) served with sticky rice (ck out the menu on their website). I had the Pad Kemao Chicken (menu says beef but they are happy to make dishes with what you like & even have Beyond Meat dishes on the menu - cool to see stir fried basil with Beyond Meat (Krapao Beyond Neur)). The taste of my wok fried pad kemao was delicious, same or better than any I've had on prior trips to Bangkok. Glad to have discovered a solid Thai restaurant that doesn't have watered down flavors. Good to see they have a lot of gluten free and vegan choices on the menu too. Definitely will be back, keep up the good work!“

“Easily one of my favorite restaurants to go to. The chef and staff are always so friendly and warm.

Can never go wrong with Hamachi spoons as a starter, excellent every time. Even better at happy hour when they're $4 each.

My go to is the Shaken beef entree. Dee. Lish. Us.

There's a reason the restaurant is called Saucy. The sauces are top notch. I've come through when they're busy and when they're slow and the quality doesn't change. They're always welcoming and provide excellent service.“

“First time to this place and even before I entered this place loved the sitting areas and lively environment. They have so many items in menu to choose from. I got the chicken sandwich quickly but had to wait a min since the chicken was hot. It tasted very good with the picked cole slaw. I will go back and try other menu items. 😋“

“LOVE THIS PLACE!! The bread tears up the roof of my mouth in the best way and the fried taro in their veggie banh mi is delightful. One time they put too many jalapenos in my sandwich but honestly i prefer that to not enough spice level. Black sesame coffee is great too, although expensive. Perfect sunny day lunch spot.“

“I rarely eat in here, but when I do I enjoy the atmosphere and service. Much more frequently, I do take out, and it is always great. The ingredients taste fresh and perfectly seasoned, and it is always on time. HB is probably my favorite spot for take out in Oakland.“

“meal and the roti for sure will be going back“

“Great experience at MUMU Hot Pot in Emeryville! The quality of the meat was excellent—very fresh, nicely marbled, and perfect for hot pot and grilling. The broth was flavorful, and the dipping sauces were well-balanced. Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was clean and comfortable. Definitely a great spot for a satisfying hot pot meal in the Bay Area. Will be back again!“

“service and quality are top notch“

“Food was fresh! Service was great. The tables were clean!“

“Will miss the place“

“I love the P-Lo wings they are 10/10 so good the good vibes at senor sisig it was my first time here I came out for very good food tour it was lit food music drinks nice people thank you so much for having me“

“One of the best sushi spot in the bay. The food just feels and tastes fresh. Portions are nice and flavors are there. The sashimi is amazing, the specialty rolls are all really well done. You can tell they care about their craft. Ive had delivery and the food is still amazing. You know delivery sometimes reduces the quality of the food.“

“I got the gan-jang beef bowl for $16.53 after tax. I think the beef flavor was good, but the beef texture itself was inconsistent. There were tender/fatty portions, but parts of the beef were quite tough & hard to chew. It came with a soft boiled egg, rice, sesame, and seaweed flakes.

They charge $2.50 extra for kimchi. I feel like if you order the meal without kimchi, it lacks veggies & something to help you finish the rice. If you were to compare that experience to sit-down korean restaurants with free kimchi/banchan, it’s stingier. I would feel better paying this price if it came with kimchi, which seems like a necessary part of the meal.

The owner was nice enough to offer me extra beef/free kimchi as a one-time service, and I took him up on that.“

“Loved the food, I got the prime rib steak teriyaki and the mango ice cream. Service was great and waitresses were very friendly. Atmosphere was great, I love the light fixtures. Music was a little loud, though. I’d prefer jazz or an instrumental track over lyrical music.“

“Came in here for the first time during my lunch break and loved every bite!

The service was prompt from taking my order to get my food.

Also, never had a robot bring my meal to me before. That was an interesting experience“

“Food is great ! Service is so so . They did forget a dish and were a bit slow even after the happy hour rush ended . They brought the bill before asking whether we wanted dessert ( we did ) this time and the last time we came . Still I’d go back as the food is too good!“

“Yummy Chinese food! Potstickers are made fresh

Vegetarian options: vegetarian options available

Dietary restrictions: vegetarian options available, but it is an asian restaurant so dont expect a whole bunch of options for dietary restrictions like Kosher, vegan, nut free etc

Parking: located on the corner of a street, a couple of parking spots available

Kid-friendliness: kid friendly but a lot of spicy dishes

Wheelchair accessibility: not wheelchair accessible, need to go up stairs“

“Great sushi and sashimi in a loveky setting! the Lion King is the best! Fast and efficient service!“
