50 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Brisbane

“Old school neighborhood Chinese restaurant!The place was empty when we arrived. We were seated promptly. That was the end of the promptness. The waitress showed up eventually and returned a while later to take our order. The food plates came out gradually. We were in no hurry so it was all good for us. Everything was very good. I thought we had bought too much food. But we ate all of it.The building is an old school 1940's? Ish place on the foothills of the inside of the bowl that forms Brisbane. Up slightly from the town below there are large windows with loads of natural light that look out to the small town.I am very sensitive to msg and the staff assured me they add none to their dishes. Indeed I ate hot and sour soup, broccoli beef and other plates that escape me with no problems.If you are nearby I strongly suggest a stop in at NaNa's. She ain't in a rush and neither should you be.“

“One of the best dumplings I've tried! The line on weekends lunch wasn't too bad, it was about 30min ish. Everything was just on point! I was shocked to see the XLB to be see through but yet it wouldn't break. My favorite was the mala spicy XLB, the soup was delicious with just a little bit of a kick of the numbing spicy flavor! The spicy red chili dumpling was filled with the nutty flavor of peanut with just a dap of chili oil for the fragrance. Hands down one of the best dumpling places that I wouldn't mind waiting in line for~“

“The food here was really good: the Grilled Beef Curry and the Umami Spicy Shrimp stood out for me, while the Pork Larb, Squid with Salted Egg Sauce, and Brussels Sprouts were above average as well. Fried chicken was just ok in terms of flavor, but was really crispy, which I liked. Staff provided good service, atmosphere was good for conversation, and the prices were reasonable. The only downside is that serving sizes were quite small, and my recommendation is to get a good amount of rice to pair with the dishes. 5 out of 5.“

“The food was good, but definitely not worth the price tag, with the exception of the uni toast (10/10), the pasta, and the oysters. The steak tartare barely tasted like steak, and nothing other than the uni was worth coming back for. Dessert was pretty good though. Ambiance was also very casual, but not “

“Mmm dumplings here are so good. Wait was only a few minutes at lunchtime and easy with the yelp app.Green bean appetizer - perfectly cooked and crispy with great pepper garnishes and flavor.Scallion pancake - solid appetizer, crispy and great scallion flavor.Juicy pork dumplings - a favorite! So tasty and flavorful, someone mentioned they were too sweet but I didn’t get that at all. Love the juiciness.Chicken scallion - ooh these tasted so good. I was afraid chicken might be dry but these were our second favorite dumpling!Mongolian beef boiled - meh, saw another reviewer say these were their favorite but I felt they were pretty bland. Like a 4/10 for us.Next time I’d love to try the steamed dumplings. We were just so stuffed!“

“Lovely little restaurant, amazing place for bento boxes. We tried a chicken katsu bento with a spicy tuna roll, edamame, wakame, gyoza and white rice. The chicken was made to perfection, moist on the inside and not dry at all. We tried boba strawberry milk and Thai iced tea which were great as well. The owner Yoyo was extremely friendly and accommodating, she is a ray of sunshine that makes this restaurant an absolute gem of a place that you'd want to visit again and again.“

“The food was a great mix of Latin and Cantonese flavors. It brought back many childhood memories of Chinese food in Northern Mexico while growing up. The owner was extremely warm and welcoming in sharing her cuisine that is from her home and heart.“

“At the end of the meal, one dish stood out as something truly special--the charred cabbage salad. The name is totally not inspiring, right? But trust our whole table of foodies that you will want to order this and have an entire order to yourself. I wouldn't ruin the surprise beyond that. Another dish that's yummy is their shrimp/pork toast. 2 toasts per order. I was a bit incensed the restaurant wouldn't allow adding a toast for a party of three. Please, u can do better. For those liking something subtle, try their porridge of the night. Fyi, we were told it was times up after 90 minutes of dining. Ya, I don't believe that's following industry standards. Maybe next time, I'll just walk-in and have that salad at the bar and be done and happy.“

“Very good restaurant, we enjoyed ourselvesThe servers are very nice, they made a mistake with my dish and realized it very quickly, they apologized several timesWe had a Chicken Momo to share, and a Chicken Tikka Masala and a Chicken Korma and Garlic Naan everything was deliciousTherefore, we had the chance to taste the Chcken Spinach which was also very goodI recommend this restaurant“

“Go now for brunch before it blows up!!!Omg not only are their brunch items so aesthetically beautiful they are DELISH!!!We had the fluffy cakes, the Benedict Sando, and the 1398 Rancheros. The Benedict Sando was deconstructed- sandwich and then a dish of delicious poached eggs in mustardy hollandaise sauce. Wow!! The bulgogi on the rancheros was delicious and sooo flavorful, and spiced very mildly- not too spicy at all. The fluffy cakes stole the show. I even used a few of the dry cakes to sop up my Benedict sauce. Yum yum yum!!!!Also service was great, not slow at all, and super attentive. They ran out of the Thai iced tea and replaced it immediately with another beverage. Very thoughtful.“

“The girls are amazing! The whole experience is one you will never forget and leaves a big impression on your heart. I've never had the pleasure of enjoying a space that felt so inviting and welcoming. You feel the love through the whole venue.??“

“Last day of my holiday we had lunch at Saucy Oakland - and we thought it was very, very good! So you can't say much about the service, because you order at the counter and pick up the food at the counter. But both of our dishes were freshly prepared, were normal portions to fill you up and tasted excellent. The sake flight was also great to try out the different sakes. We were happy not to have stopped a few blocks away at Swans Market and chosen Saucy instead! Best recommendation!“

“Very good Korean fare in a laid back setting. Ollei serves up tasty late night grub and vibes in Russian Hill. The grill is burning, the meat is cooking, soups are boiling, the drinks are flowing and kpop is popping, this is a good Korean restaurant in San Francisco. Tasty food at an affordable price and where you can also go to throw a couple back as well. It was the perfect place to warm up on a cold SF night, food and drink wise. I’m definitely coming back to try various other dishes. Very good.Kid-friendliness: Not really“

“Excellent food and service at this Chinese/Vietnamese restaurant in the Sunset area. We shared a set menu of Roasted Dungeness Crab that came with a small but delicious Cabbage Chicken Salad (Goi Ga), Imperial Rolls (Cha Gio), and buttery Garlic Fried Noodles. The Fried Chicken Wings were crispy but on the sweet side. The food came out promptly and our waitress was friendly and checked on us frequently. Prices were on par with other similar SF establishments. Reservations are recommended, as the restaurant was full on a rainy weeknight when we were thefe. Parking was rather hard to find, so give yourself time, or better yet, don't drive!“

“My husband and I were pleasantly surprised with this restaurant that I would describe as a "Partial arcade/Hawaiian gastropub," if you will. We found out about this place on Check Please, and it seemed strange from the episode, but I'm glad we gave it a shot. I really love the Hawaiian-influenced menu of this place! I got the Chicken Katsu Curry, which I loved everything about - the chicken was good quality and juicy, it was crispy, the curry sauce was flavorful and with a good kick, nothing crazy or too mild, and the rice was also fantastic - it came in this fun bowl shape, like they filled up a bowl to the brim with rice, and just flipped it over. However, the best part about the rice was that it was CRISPY on the sides! There was also a very happy sunny-side up egg on top, very nice touch. Huge wow - never had Chicken Katsu Curry like that before, and it was delicious. My husband and I shared the Spam Masubi, in which the spam was House made! It was good - on the smaller side compared to regular Hawaiian joints, but definitely gourmet, and definitely delicious. Fun to try. My husband ordered the Loco Moco for his entree, and he also really loved his dish. His rice with the dish was ALSO crispy, huge win. I don't have many vegan or vegetarian friends, but if I did, I'd probably suggest this place as an option. They have vegan/vegetarian options for almost anything - including the spam masubi, burger, banh mi, loco moco - pretty innovative IMO. It almost made me want to explore the options for myself! I forgot to write about the cool pinball machines, but honestly, I don't really play, and forgot they were there lol. But they do have Free Play Thursdays, which sounds pretty fun for those who do love to play. The ambiance of the restaurant is cute in that it has a retro feel with the old signs, pinball machines, decor and bar seating. One thing that really does bug me, which is why I don't give it 5 stars, is the family UN-friendliness it has. They are only open 5 days a week, and only 2 of those days are family friendly, meaning 18+ up on Thu/Fri/Sat. This is a huge bummer for my husband and I, who love bringing our daughter to restaurants any day of the week. We are well versed with the SF rules that is perfectly OK to bring your child of any age to any establishment that serves alcohol as long as there is food served. I guess this restaurant gets away with it because they technically DO allow children at their restaurant on CERTAIN days of the week. This is just frustrating for us families. I did read commentary from the restaurant management saying that it hurt their business that kids were allowed on weeknights - alright fine, it is what it is. But I will say that we do feel slightly discriminated against for not being able to dine on whatever day we please. Now we can only come here on Wednesdays and Sundays, wouldn't you be cranky too if you could only come here on Wednesdays and Sundays? Overall, I do really love this restaurant. I am looking forward to returning in the very near future, on Wednesdays and Sundays.“

“Friendly, fast, and fantastic — from start-to-finish, dining in always changes my day for the better.It’s a simple space, but the people make it feel like a home to me and remember what I like to order.Their Tofu Pad See Ew is the best I’ve had in town; the noodles and vegetables are cooked just right, it’s always the right amount of sauce, and the crispy bits on top are delightful. They can even make it vegan!Many thanks again, Tycoon!“

“We tried the Bahn mi, chicken and Croffle and Lobster Bisque. FANTASTIC!!!! Just check yes to all the above. If you like Iced Tea you will love the Thai Lime Tea. I had two glasses and would have liked to take a gallon back to the hotel with me. I will talk about that tea the rest of my life! Enjoy your meal everyone! We will be back.“

“I was very excited to eat Filipino food again for the first time in years after I stopped eating meat. ✨ This location was very clean, there's standing coubterop seating inside and plenty of patio seating in the back. During dinner rush, I've seen a line even during weekdays. ⚡ The staff is friendly and the food was ready quickly. ? Got the Señor Sisig Bowl with tofu, medium spicy, and it was OK. The flavor overall was sweet, not savory enough, missing acidity to brighten it up. I don't like sweet chili sauce and it tasted and looked like the tofu was marinated in it. The garlic rice wasn't garlicy. The medium spice level was nice, not too spicy for a whole meal. I'd try the vegan chicken next time. ? Pretty good value, ~$14 + tax“

“Big portions and great service. I got the branzino silong and other people at the table got the tofu sisig and bistek. We shared everything plus got an order of the mini ube pancakes - lots of food for three people but glad we got everything as it was all tasty“

“The soup dumplings were delicious. Another in the group ordered the Bao and really enjoyed it as well. The staff might be some of the best in all of California. They were insightful when it came to ordering and the food came out extremely fast. Absolutely fantastic!“

“I have eaten here four times now and every meal is incredible, and for an airport hotel restaurant, truly unbelievable. The hotel is lovely in every way, miles beyond the alternatives. But the restaurant is one of the reasons I stay here whenever I have a morning flight. Tonight had the lobster miso bisque, and the seared scallops, and I don't think I've had better versions of either in a decade. The scallops and the lobster were as tender as they could ever be and the flavors were amazing. Service and ambience is great too. They have wines by the glass that you normally must pay for a bottle - and a first rate twist on a Paper Plane if you're a cocktail person. Be sure to get a table by the window to watch the planes...“

“My husband and I came across your Chestnut location this past weekend! What a wonderful find. The VERY nice gentleman that served us, the best dumplings - I highly recommend the Spicy Sichuan Wontons in Red Oil. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“A unique brunch spot. I had the pandan waffle and fried chicken which was tasty. The waffle was cold and a wee bit soggy but good flavour. Someone else had the bo luc lac and the beef was super duper tender and juicy but also very sweet. The shrimp Benedict was quite good and the chicken sammie was good but the star of that was the French fries they were spectacular. The service was friendly and good. There's no atmosphere but still a place I'll go back to.“

“We were there yesterday for. Bday dinner ! The food is very good. The owner is an amazing guy who gave us a fried tofu dish to try for free which was the best tofu I had ever eaten. Service is great!! The place is simple . More weekday ! But heck ! This is a place where food is king !“

“Holy cow!!!! The food here is INSANELY delicious. I can still taste it in my memories, a week later. The wait was nuts (Fri eve). I so wish they'd take ressies. We ended up eating outside and I was freezing despite the heat lamp, but it was worth it. Also, one of the best service experiences in the city!! Amazingly friendly and knowledgeable wait staff that go so far out of their way to make sure you have a good meal and highly honor food restrictions/preferences. Impressive!!“

“Beat the brunch rush by getting here early, there isnt a lot of indoor seating btw. Sat outside since we have a pup. Ordered on which was fresh squeezed, the brunch drinks looked really nice, but just wanted a basic breakfast. Waiter recommended Ribeye Omurice and it did not disappoint. Wife got the mushroom omelet, both came with this buttered toast that was so good my wife stole mine. Service was pretty fast and they turned on the heat lamps on even tho it was just us outside at first. Highly recommend and do show up early.“

“Absolutely Divine! Each 'bite' is it's own expression of flavor and talent. They have a lot to be proud of. I tried things I would have never tried on my own. Albeit now, I doubt others will live up to the new expectations!I will say, having read the other reviews here, they should try a few newer things, as it seems they've been doing the same set for 5+ years, making repeat visits bland in terms of originality.Parking: Valet parking.“

“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!“

“Delicious vegan food, large portions, nice ambiance, parking is easy and never have to wait. Staff is friendly. Great for catch ups with friends. I will definitely return!! Very close to the airports I got the cauliflower wings (yummy) and two specials (sweet potato lasagna and Lions Mane mushroom brisket). We came in hungry and we left full! We even had some to take back home with us.“

“Cute place. Went for lunch and it was very quiet. Nice and relaxing. A decent amount of tables inside. And it’s very bright and airy.The Kung pao chicken wasn’t spicy at all. It tasted very good though, and the rice was cooked perfectly.The Shanghai soup dumplings had great flavor. And are on the small side, you can eat them in one bite. The shrimp tempura was very crispy. The vegetable pot stickers had lots of veggies packed in like corn and spinach.The bubble tea I got just tasted like milk. It was pretty large though and I got double boba and the cheese foam. The boba was super fresh and very good.I liked that they had a bathroom but the toilet water was brown and all on the inside of the toilet was brown and it grossed me out.Though overall I def recommend!“

“Update - 5/5 stars. Owner reached out and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed the meals this time - the level of care and service was unprecedented. This time we got the deluxe box with fish in the box yuzu truffle version. The quality of the fish was even better than last time - all of the pieces tasted fresh. Rice was perfectly seasoned and we very much enjoyed the mix of elements in the yuzu truffle box. Thank you Jerry, we will definitely be recommending to friends!“

“If you're a foodie like me, you'll love this place! I highly recommend island chicken wings, spam fries, and my favorite, from the oven and straight to our table, served piping hot, Bibinka Cornbread. Delicious! I had to order twice. Don't miss out on their signature dish, the chicken loco moco, braised short ribs over rice, sisig fried rice, and seafood pan roast. We are frequent travelers to the Island, so we know a little about the dishes we tried. With that said, the combo loco moco stole the show for us. The best part of our meal besides the food, of course, was that it came in hot and we got our meal all at the same time. All the little things go a long way in my book. Of course, we ordered their classic go-to, fried bananas served with ube ice cream for dessert. It tasted like when our Lola (grandmother) used to cook for us growing up. It felt like home. Their service was top-notch considering the time we came, which was almost closing time. Kudos to Carmen! She was attentive and polite. We can't wait to come back. Sorry, we did not take photos; you must take my word or visit Hula Hoops.“

“Amazing restaurant! Prices are great, so that you can try a few dishes in 1 visit. I tried the maguro bowl and champignon mushroom pasta. The maguro bowl was okay. I felt like more soy sauce on the tuna would've been better. The champignon pasta was amazing--smoky and perfectly seasoned! On a weeknight, they only have 2 servers serving ~20-25 people during rush dinner time. Service will be a bit slow, but all the more to tip each server more.“

“Super quick and delicious meal! My friend and I walked in on a Friday after early cocktails nearby and were immediately greeted & seated! We ordered the chicken dumplings, wagyu dumplings, chicken chow mein and stir fried string beans. The green beans were the star of the show! They were amazing. We also really enjoyed the chow mein. Next time I'd like to get a different type of dumpling, as the chicken dumplings were just okay.“

“Can't stop my craving from coming here for their wings. Another day after work with coworkers which 212 definitely don't disappoint. Cool workers and owners. Fun place to relax and relieve stress. Unless your allergic to fun, fried chickens, people and alcohol ... better you stay home lol J/K. Overall a must check out place for all that loves food, fun, alcohol etc.Peace out ...wink!“

“If you are craving Burmese food, which if you are unfamiliar is the best of Indian, Chinese and Thai cuisines, B-star is a reliable workhorse. This is part of the same chain as Burma Superstar in SF and East Bay, i.e. same menu.Tea leaf salad is the must-have go-to dish at any Burmese restaurant. And B-star does not disappoint. For vegetarians, you can skip the fish sauce if you let your server know. The salad is prepared fresh by your table and adding some lemon brings out the best of the green tea leaf paste and the crunchy accoutrements that compliment the lettuce, garlic and sesame seeds.Another classic is the palatha with dip, which is the equivalent of a fried roti with chicken (usually) or coconut curry in B-star's case. Or you can skip it for a samusa soup (Samosa soup) that's hearty, savory and can be a meal by itself.If you have any room left, there's a bunch of mains, from Tofu to Catfish (Mohinga - that's a specialty), with flavors reminiscent from the Thai or Chinese cuisines.Parking is always a challenge on clement street and you need to call your parking angel to find metered parking.Tip: Try their $25 lunch special M-F available until 2.30 pm that includes an appetizer, main and a drink. Best value.“

“Was there for a lunch date with my friend. It was a cute tiny space , but enough to sit comfortably. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I could feel the traditional vibe when I heard an Indonesian song playing in the background ( which I love ! ). They have an open kitchen & offer various Indonesian menu, like Fried Rice, Satay, Soto, etc. We tried their Pempek, Gudeg, Mee Goreng, & Nasi Padang. They all were so good, close to the authentic ones !!! Service was fast, the owner/chef even greeted us asking for feedback. Price was reasonable too, so we'll definitely come back to this one & only Indonesian restaurant in the bay.“

“My husband and I came across your Chestnut location this past weekend! What a wonderful find. The VERY nice gentleman that served us, the best dumplings - I highly recommend the Spicy Sichuan Wontons in Red Oil. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“Excellent hot pot. The customer service was very friendly and quick to remove our empty plates.The meat qualities were exceptional. We also loved being able to order food with our phone, but just the essentials, there is a nice Buffett to go up and grab vegetables, giblets, snails, tripe, noodles, sauce bar, even a nice $3 juice bar.Really enjoyed their special house sauce. They sauce bar had some super good choices.The soup broths were so delicious. Really clean bathroom.Just an overall top notch hot pot place!“

“Upon entering, the setting was cozy, dimly lit, and there were modest decorations. The waiter bowed and greeted us with a friendly smile. Though they were the only one serving, so it was slightly slow; understandable though. They were still very polite and helpful. Food was light, healthy, and tasty. Samosas were probably the healthiest samosas I've ever had. We also ordered the Pad See Ew (vegetable) as well as brown rice with sweet and sour veggie chicken, which were both sooo delicious. It was fairly busy on a Saturday at 7pm...almost a full house. Overall, great experience. The food tasted and felt like exactly what a body needs! So tasty and healthy. Prices were also fair. I would definitely recommend this place.“

“Fast, consistent, convenient, easy, delicious. Super straightforward to hop in and out with an udon on an off day shopping at Stonestown. Very good quality food for the price! My one thing was that the corn add-on comes cold so you have to warm it with the soup, but otherwise every bite was solid. You have to get the tempura ofc...all of them hit but I love the squid :)“

“There are so many options on the menu, and I just wish I could try them all someday. Every single dish is nearly perfect, with some tasting even better than those in the original country.The food here is accessible even for first-timers and those who have never had Asian food before.I’ve heard that the chef is an expert with extensive professional experience in Japan, which reflects in the choice of ingredients that perfectly complement each dish’s flavors.Not to mention the high quality of their service; all the staff are prompt and friendly, well-trained, and equipped with knowledge and experience, ensuring customers have a comfortable and enjoyable time during their visit.It’s the perfect place to recommend, invite, and gather with your friends and family at any time!“

“Great option for ramen on the outskirts of Chinatown located along the cable car line. I came here with a friend and their friend on a rainy night. It was pretty full but we were seated quickly. I love the flowers inside! We shared the Crab Wonton to start and things started on a high note. I liked my tonkotsu ramen and my friend said they'd get the spicy miso ramen again. The broth flavor was rich and thick, and I liked the creaminess of the egg and all the toppings.“

“This place had a upscale vibe with great music and attentive staff. Everyone was very friendly and I had the bbq pork buns and Pork Sheng Jian Bao and everything was SOOO AMAZING! I wish I lived closer I would be broke from eating here everyday of my life! The bbq pork buns were so fluffy with a hint of sweetness and a savory inside of bbq pork. The soup dumplings had a crunchier pan fried bottom with flavorful soup and meat on the inside. The Oolong tea was very good as well I didn't need sugar at all it was just good quality tea. They even brought a dessert sesame ball for free at the end of my meal and i left so full and satisfied! If you read to the bottom of this, hesitate no further and just do yourself a favor and check this place out, you WONT regret it.“

“Great food and great service. The curry sauce that comes with the fries is really good, and the hanger steak is fire. The peppers onions and mushrooms it’s served with are really good, and the mint chutney is a fantastic addition. Everything came out quickly, and they also packed up our leftovers for us which was awesome.“

“Great place for a bite before the Orpheum. With so many closures in SF, its one of the few open eating near the theatre. That said, had a 4:30 reservation before the 7:30 show. Its was surprisingly full and looked like lots of theatre-goers. The service was excellent. The food was good. We had calamari and chicken wings appetizers, loco moco, and meatloaf entrees. Killed some time with coffee. Would recommend if you're going to the Orpheum.“

“Little over priced for what they offer but the food is great. I wish the portions were a little larger as I walked away Hungry but there aren't many great Thai/fusion spots in the marina/Cow hollow and this definitely hits the spot. The red curry was on the sweeter side, so if you like that I recommend, otherwise aire on the side of something else.“

“This super cool lounge style bar with yummy bar bites in the sunset district is the only one of it's kind on the west side of the city. The beautiful interiors have tons of seating options for groups large and small. The atmosphere is lively while still feeling laid back. The open room can get loud when busy but remains feeling intimate and cozy in the booths. Warm enough inside to get dressed up on the weekend while still casual for afterwork drinks. I absolutely adore this place and cannot recommend it highly enough.“

“Glad we caught this place by accident just walking by. Food was superb. Flavourful, delicious beef noodle soup. Also had chicken teriyaki, some dim sum options and spring rolls. Everything was fantastic.Service was attentive, as we were the only ones there. Prices were very reasonable for the area.“

“They are located in the Ferry Building and offer seating both inside and outside with a view of the bay. I recently tried their chicken wings, which were so delicious—I highly recommend them! In general, their food is always delicious, and the service is very good.“
