49 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Albany

“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!“

“Bua Luang is hands down the BEST Thai restaurant in the entire Bay Area, not just in Albany! I have been enjoying Thai cuisine all around the Bay for over 25 years. My family and I have Thai food at least 2-3 times a week, so we have tried many (and I mean MANY) Thai restaurants over the decades, and without a doubt we all agree that Bua Luang offers the freshest, tastiest, and most delicately prepared Thai cuisine of all. Every dish is packed with the freshest ingredients. The flavors and textures are amazing. Restaurants in Thailand don’t make a Pad Thai as delicious as the Pad Thai at Bua Luang—believe us, we have tried Pad Thai all over Thailand and we still longed for the Pad Thai at Bua Luang. The chef at this restaurant is a culinary master!

Not only are the dishes at this restaurant superb, the atmosphere is serene and delightful. The indoor space is clean, cozy, and modern with soft old-world touches and whimsical lighting. The ambiance music is very pleasant. It’s not too loud, and it’s easy to talk with and hear others in your party. If you choose to dine outside, you are greeted by the most beautiful outdoor seating area on all of Solano Avenue. The space is gorgeous and inviting. And then there is the staff: always friendly and attentive. They provide a truly exceptional dining experience all around.

This restaurant is an absolute gem. If I could give it more stars I would. Don’t walk, run to this spot!“

“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 !“

“I want to share my experience with Tycoon Kitchen. The food is really delicious. I come here 2–3 times a week, and it’s always good. The manager is very attentive and friendly. I also love that you can get your food to go and take it up to the park — it’s like having a little picnic in the middle of a workday.“

“I tried the wraps from a work event and realized I needed to stop in and check it out.

I love the atmosphere, the individuals inside are kind and knowledgeable, great recommendations from them all.

I will be back to enjoy the view as well, please tip the staff!“

“The Peking duck was fabulous and juicy! We got a half, which we were surprised how little it was. We should have had a full. You have to reserve the duck before you get there.

We had a meat roll I think it was. It was amazing! My friends mom doesn’t like spicy so we got this roll. Highly recommend! Lots of veggies and excellent sauce!“

“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.“

“We’ve come here a number of times and every time the service has been very good! Always attentive without being hovering. They’re quick with our food and it’s been served hot. The noodles have been fresh and the broth rich!

Definitely recommend this restaurant for a quick dinner or snack!“

“muy buena comida, y muy buena atención muy recomendable,.“

“Just discovered my new favorite lunch place in downtown. It’s a buffet style place designed for lunches. Every bite on this plate was fresh, delicious and perfectly seasoned. Tasted like lots of care and thoughtfulness went into the preparation. Quite literally can’t wait to go back. Also always bodes well if a place can do VEGGIES, this good, everything else I’m sure will be stellar.“

“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“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“Such great food and people. We were hungry driving around looking for that magical parking spot next to an acceptable eating spot bingo! We found it all at Gai. Unsure of what kinda of cuisine I said take the chance they’ve got a chicken on the sign so it’s actually food. And boy was it good. Delicious. Freshly prepared Asian Thai or Vietnamese food. I got the Original Chicken Rice bowl with side of broccali. My friend got the salad with Tofu. Both great. He sauces are fresh and flavorful. One is quite hot which I love. I recommend it. And as we sat there from 1:30 pm to 2:30, there were multiple to go orders being picked up. I think there were about 5 orders at a time rotating. Fresh Fast Full of Flavor. We hit the jackpot!“

“Steve went out of his way to answer a question concerning the food selection choices.

Internet google search showed this SF location maybe close because of the Memorial Day Holiday, but took a chance to walk down from Chinatown and was pleasantly surprised.

Bought meals for the day for myself and sister.

Thanks SF, Kearney St - Onigilly“

“Service was fast and efficient. Food was good.“

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

“Pretty decent option specially during the lunch rush hour. I got a veg burrito. Happy with my choice. You wouldn't want to miss on some of their sauces. You may get intimidated by the queue during lunch hour but their service is pretty fast. I don't expect you would have to wait more than 20 min from the queue to getting your meal :)“

“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!!“

“Truly excellent food. Innovative (and dare I say, elevated) takes on traditional Cantonese and Taiwanese dishes. We particularly enjoyed the confit cabbage, honey walnut shrimp toast, turnip cake salad, and especially the porridge. The porridge was a concentrated blast of umami, unexpected but welcome. I hope they succeed and become an SF/Mission mainstay.

Also, I enjoyed the old Jackie Chan flicks playing above the bar.“

“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 ordered from uber eats, it was supposed to come with a free shrimp salad roll side, but I didn't get it. But I got everything else I paid for, so not a big deal. the red curry steak was very spicy for me but good. chicken also great too. would order again“

“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.“

“Nice place & delicious food 😋😋 🥘👍“

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

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Both food and service was excellent!! Highly recommend going with the tasting menu. Every dish was cooked to perfection! The flavors blend so beautifully. 1601 Bar & Kitchen is my new favorite!“

“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.“

“If you want the freshest fish downtown has to offer.... go to Sanraku“

“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!“

“I was pleasantly surprised by this spot! We ordered the noodles and dumplings, and everything was delicious. We spent about $100 for 3 people (no drinks), which felt fair for the quality. The space is small and very clean—perfect for a casual meal or a small group. I’ll definitely be back! The cucumbers were my favorite!!“

“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!“

“I think the location just opened at @SFO International Terminal G and what a delicious, freshly prepared breakfast. We had their Brunch Box with pork, 2 fried eggs, small salad, spicy fish sauce and rice…all for $10.99! With this quality food and great customer service the SFO location will be a success for sure! @SFO @Asian Box“

“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!“

“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.“

“I had a great experience at Trisara. The food was fresh and flavorful. I ordered the lamb korma, garlic naan, and samosa, and everything was delicious and well prepared.

The service was also good. It was a bit slow at times, but I visited during a busy period, so it was understandable. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would definitely return.“

“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.“

“Dropped in for late lunch. Quick service, great food.“

“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.“

“It’s my first time here today, my mom and I are both very satisfied with our impromptu dinner. We ordered the Galbi Jjim in medium spicy. The portion is very generous, the standard serving already included cheese, rice cake, glass noodles, and plenty of radish-carrots-potatoes! The meat was tender and flavorful, perfectly cooked and served on a cold winter night. We had leftover for another meal. ✌🏼“

“The food was good. But unclear if Michelin 3 star level good. Seemed to me closer to Michelin 2 or 1 star. Also the pacing was off with lots of long gaps and the in the end went quickly. If had better pacing, i could have been done at least an hour earlier aka it shouldn't take an hour for small bites. I also felt many of the dishes were bland and i wish they were more like kimchi. My favorite was the albolone liver. I also wisn there was a non alcoholic pairing.“

“I go after school most days before walking home or volleyball games and practice, and I get the guava snow with oreo crumble, and it's really good.
The only thing that keeps me from giving them a 5 is the prices. Don't get me wrong about the inflation issue, but like some of the prices are unreasonable. They should lower it.
Go here if you have the money but the workers are really nice. Just go to Starbucks, it's more reasonable there.“

“What a fantastic spot in the financial district! We were staying in town for a wedding, and this was such a great spot close to our hotel. Patrick (the owner) and his team were all a 10/10! Can’t wait to return.“

“So delicious. Had the pork sheng jian bao, chili oil wonton and Chinese broccoli. Pork sheng jian baos were amazing, the soup was delicious, and the crispy bottom was a nice touch to the soup dumpling, something i don't see often. Chili oil wonton were delicious as well. Service was timely and friendly. I would definitely come back here again.

no wait on a Monday night right at opening time 5pm for dinner“

“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.“

“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!“

“Fantastic food and amazing service!!“

“Deliciously wonderful unique food.“

“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.“
