21 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants in Berkeley

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

“The char siu pork is incredibly tender. The cold noodles with peanut sauce and chili oil had plenty of sauce and were perfectly cooked. The bbq brisket noodles with soup was delicious, the broth was amazing and the meat and noodles were also cooked perfectly. The staff was working tirelessly and were very accommodating. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“service and quality are top notch“

“I was hesitant to come back after I had a bad experience a year ago before they rebranded; which a lot of the older reviews reflect. VERY happy to say that they've improved significantly, I got the five spice chicken with an iced coffee and both are fantastic. Meat tastes great and the bread is perfect. Worth giving them another shot if you started avoiding this place like I did before.
Friendly staff too.“

“Super super pho is my go-to Vietnamese spot in Berkeley/Emeryville. And so reasonably priced.

I always get the original banh no with the pate. Soo good with the freshnwss of the herbs and acidity and sweetness of the pickled carrots and diakon.

The beef pho with 3 kinds of beef is warm and hearty. Their broth is clear and so flavorful.

Will be back again and again.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“A good place to taste Korean and Japanese cuisine with a twist.“

“Amazing food and service. Ambiance on point as well“

“On campus and easy eats. They’re quick and the food is good. The chicken is real rotisserie. I got the Japanese curry chicken and rice. Seating does get crowded with all the students around but is not impossible to find. You might just need to go outside“

“Used to go here when the original owners were there. New owners now food is still good. Little different cooking style. But the items that I have ordered were good. I always take my food to go since I live pretty close by. Still exploring the menu. Haven't been disappointed yet.“

“Ordered the vegetable red curry on DoorDash and they did not disappoint. Got it extra spicy and I baked up some shrimps to go with it. Enjoyed it so much I had to go to the restraunt in person and was surprised to see the artwork and functshway was so in line with what a trip to Thailand feels like that I ended up ordering two mojitos while I sat their thinking of the great time I had in Thailand.“
