8 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Folsom

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Red Hot Chilli Pepper in Folsom, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. Snehal, the manager, has truly worked wonders in creating a unique and vibrant dining experience. What sets this place apart is not just its Indo Chinese cuisine but also the warm and inviting atmosphere that permeates the entire establishment. Being the only Indo Chinese restaurant in the Sacramento area, Red Hot Chilli Pepper has carved a niche for itself, and I must say, it's a niche well worth exploring. The moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a welcoming vibe that instantly made me feel at home. One standout aspect of my visit was the impeccable service provided by Praveen, an exceptional waiter who went above and beyond to ensure my dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary. His fast and friendly service added to the overall positive impression of the restaurant. Now, let's talk about the food--a true highlight of my visit. I started with the TROPICAL "LYCHEE" MARTINI, a delightful concoction that blended the sweetness of lychee with the kick of vodka. It set the perfect tone for the culinary journey that followed. The Chilli Chicken, ordered at medium spice level, was an absolute winner. Cooked to perfection with just the right amount of spices, it left my taste buds dancing with joy. Following that, I indulged in some vegetarian momos that were a burst of flavor and texture. The softness of the momo paired with the delicious filling made it a memorable dish. The Calcutta Chicken transported me straight to the streets of Calcutta. The authenticity of the dish was unparalleled, and I appreciated the chef's dedication to preserving traditional flavors. To wrap up my meal, I opted for the detox tea--a refreshing and healthy choice that perfectly concluded the culinary journey. The attention to detail in both food and beverages truly sets Red Hot Chilli Pepper apart. The ambiance of the restaurant is another noteworthy aspect. It's evident that careful thought has gone into creating an atmosphere that complements the dining experience. The result is an ambiance that enhances the joy of savoring each dish. In conclusion, my experience at Red Hot Chilli Pepper was nothing short of fantastic. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to indulge in more of their delectable offerings. Kudos to Snehal, Praveen, and the entire team for creating a culinary haven in Folsom!“

“As someone who likes eating out but still wants to stay on the healthier side, I love Lotus 8. The food always tastes fresh and light, not greasy, and they have so many great veggie options. The stir-fried greens, dumplings, and noodle bowls are all super tasty and filling. You can really tell they use fresh ingredients and stick to authentic Cantonese flavors. I used to think I had to drive to Sacramento to get good Chinese food, but honestly, Lotus 8 has become my go-to spot in Folsom.

My order for today was the sesame beef combo plate.“

“Good food, and a beautiful setting to eat in.“

“Grilled bangus and crispy pata the best. .“

“Great food and experience. We have been to many hot places across San Franciso and this one is great for Folsom . Awesome it’s also locally owned“

“This is really a hidden gem, best dumplings I’ve had in a long time. All dumplings are made by hand and are very delicious. Seeing is believing, and I saw the lady making the dumplings. I ordered wonton soup, which was very tasty. My wife ordered steamed dumplings that was delicious, and I ordered the fried dumplings. My wife also ordered Ube steamed buns 😁. The pickled cucumbers wasn’t spicy, but was flavorful. ( I can’t eat a lot of spicy foods) every once in awhile is ok. I took home my fried dumplings some of my wife’s steamed dumplings and the pickled cucumbers for an add on for our evening meal. From where I was sitting I could see Folsom Dam. Traveling 10 miles for some delicious dumpling was worth the distance.“

“This place exceeded all my expectations! The service was impeccable—our server was personable, efficient, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. The food was flavorful and fresh, with standout dishes like the spicy Szechuan shrimp and the fluffy steamed buns. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a beautifully designed interior that blends modern touches with classic Chinese elements. The entire experience, from the friendly service to the fantastic food and charming atmosphere, made it one of the best Chinese meals I’ve had in a long time.“

“I come here more than I should probably admit. The sushi is always fresh, and the service is just as good. These days I usually grab takeout since I work on the road, but every time I pass by, my car somehow pulls into their lot on its own (very bizarre).

Everything I have tried has been great. One tip, if you like a little kick, ask for jalapenos on your roll. You will not be disappointed.“
