Asian Fusion Restaurants near Hawthorne

“I have driven by this place several times and it doesn’t look like much on the outside but I had a good feeling about it.
As soon as, we walked in the Aroma of the kitchen was Amazing!! Plenty of “pick up orders” on the countertop! Menu had lots of options. Pho and spring rolls +peanut sauce and flavors did not fail super yummy!
Customers were eating happily just like us. Service was great and attentive. Returning soon !“

“Just want to give kudos to Jade. Not only did she have great customer service, but she was a 1 woman show. Working the register and even getting on the grill (hope it wasn’t for too long). While the area isn’t the safest or cleanest, I had no problems with the food. It came out quick, was clean, and healthy.“

“There was a cashier being cursed out.... but he remained calm and courteous... the cashier was very pleasant and helpful.employee Amari ....👍 but the person who plated my food was super super skimpy considering you barely get any beef anymore.“

“awesome customers service, delicious food and drinks! wonderful experience from the moment we walked in the door we were greeted as if we were regular patrons. George was our bartender and he was patient and helped us navigate the menu, David, the GM was personable and very accommodating, the Owner Chef Ray came out to say hello and grace us with a picture. phenomenal experience! thank you“

“Good food big portions. Fast service.“

“Excellent service, great food, too bad there wasn't extra room in the parking area.😊😊“

“I've been coming to Nam Kitchen ever since they opened over a year ago, and it’s easily become one of my favorite spots. It’s the perfect place to celebrate birthdays, hang out with friends, or enjoy a nice date night. The interior has a modern yet elegant vibe—definitely a bit more upscale than your typical Vietnamese restaurant—but the quality and portion sizes absolutely live up to it.

Nam Kitchen is a creative fusion of Vietnamese and Peruvian cuisine, and it really works!

What we ordered:

Ribeye Garlic Noodles – 8/10 ($30)
The price may look a little steep but the portions are large, and they don’t skimp on the steak. It was a LOT of steak! I asked for medium-rare, but it came out slightly more cooked than I prefer. Still, the chimichurri added a great kick and paired beautifully with the steak—it was super flavorful overall.

House Chicken Wings – 10/10 ($15)
We got seven pieces, and even after sitting for about 30 minutes while we filmed, the wings were still crispy, flavorful, and delicious. You can really taste the fish sauce—it adds that perfect umami touch.

Pho Short Rib – 10/10 ($17)
The broth is rich, aromatic, and bursting with flavor — you can really taste the fish sauce, lime, and all the fragrant spices. A huge bonus: they offer unlimited noodle refills, just like SUP Noodle Bar! The short rib was delicious, though I’ve had slightly more tender versions elsewhere — but the unlimited noodles more than make up for that. You could easily share this dish with another person, making it a great value!

Crispy Rolls - 8/10 ($9)
I like how they cut the egg rolls in half for easy sharing and serve them with fresh lettuce and carrots for wrapping. The presentation is beautiful and definitely photo-worthy. They also include fish sauce for dipping, which ties all the flavors together perfectly. I loved the crispiness of the egg rolls and the flavorful filling inside — such a satisfying bite!

Pink Petal Drink - 9/10 ($6)
I really enjoyed this drink made with strawberry purée and coconut milk — it’s super refreshing and beautifully presented with a flower garnish. It’s definitely an Instagram-worthy drink! The flavor leans on the sweeter side, so I’d recommend asking for it less sweet, or you can add a bit of water to balance it out (and make it last longer!).

Taro Coffee - 6/10 ($6)
We ordered this drink mainly for its aesthetic appeal, but since neither of us are big coffee drinkers, our rating might be a little biased. The Vietnamese coffee is quite strong and not too sweet, which true coffee lovers will likely appreciate. If you enjoy bold, robust coffee flavors, this one’s definitely worth trying!

Overall Score 9.5/10
Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the food absolutely makes it worth it. The staff are kind and friendly, though they can get quite busy at times. Parking can be a little tricky since the restaurant is located in a plaza near an apartment complex, and it tends to get crowded — even at 6 p.m. on a Saturday, the place was buzzing. I’m really happy to see how well they’re doing, and we were so grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with them!“

“Great asian fusion food. Awesome for happy hour!!“

“I loved my dining experience there! The decor is warm and special; the service, impeccable, and the food is beautifully presented and delicious. I recommend the lobster spring rolls, the calamari and shrimp salad, and the duck fried rice. If you really like lemongrass, then try the seared scallops!“

“i absolutely love this place. The owners are super sweet and the food is DDDEEELLISSHH!“

“This place is tiny, but the flavors are extraordinary. I had a perfect meal and I keep on thinking about those bites of food my mouth is literally watering right now. On top of that, service was impeccable and so sweet. I can’t wait to come back“

“beef Pho is excellent. chow fun us also very good“

“I was in LA for four nights, went to other notable restaurants, and this was by far the best dining experience I had. You feel like you are in a friend's home. All of the dishes were delicious, fresh, vibrant and beautiful. Every detail is intentional. The dishes and platers are stunning and thoughtfully chosen. Highly recommend. If you're in LA, don't miss Chef Okay Inak and Sora.“

“Muy bueno!! la Nina fue muy linda. Se llama mayra muchas gracias!!! ☺️☺️☺️“

“Amazing food. Plate licking sauces, organic,locally sourced food. Korean fusion. Did I mention organic pickled everything. Enzyme rich food. Beyond healthy. Humble little hope in the wall run by a husband and wife team. Dude went to Korea to study with the most famous vegan nun chef in Korea. A must go to for anyone who loves food and especially loves fusion with organic and very well priced. He should charge Much more but they don’t.“

“Amazing place. A real gem and great find. The mackerel bento tier 2 was amazing. The fish was butter and crispy. All the vegetables were so tasty too. The area it’s in is a bit rough, but this place is worth it. The inside is decorated nicely and it’s a nice atmosphere. The staff was nice and the even gave us cute holiday cookies. Can’t wait to visit again“

“I finally checked out Enchant LA in Koreatown and was honestly impressed by how well they pull off Korean fusion without it feeling forced.

We ordered a mix of classic and creative dishes, and everything delivered. The Kim’s Kimchi Pasta was the standout for me. The stir fried kimchi and bacon added a smoky, savory kick, and the creamy pink sauce tied it all together in a way that felt rich but not heavy. It sounds unusual, but it works extremely well.

The Bulgogi Quesadilla was another surprise. The sweet soy marinated beef paired perfectly with the melted mozzarella and Mexican cheese. Crispy on the outside and juicy inside. It felt like comfort food with real flavor behind it.

The Korean Fried Chicken was exactly what you want. Super crispy wings with no greasiness, and the house made sweet and spicy garlic dipping sauce was addictive. Easily one of the better Korean fried chicken orders I’ve had in LA.

We also got the Asian Orange Ginger Salad, which was refreshing and balanced out the heavier dishes. Fresh greens, bright citrus, crunchy almonds, and a light ginger dressing that didn’t overpower anything.

The La La Galbi Set was satisfying and well portioned. Tender marinated short ribs, smoky sausage, grilled onions and peppers, and rice to soak up all the flavor. Simple and comforting.

The vibe inside is casual and welcoming, and the menu gives you a lot of options whether you want something familiar or want to try something different. Overall, Enchant LA is a great spot if you’re in Koreatown and want Korean food with a creative twist. I’d definitely come back to try more of the menu.“

“Delicious food. Fast service. Get here early to avoid a long line.“

“In a word; Fantastic! The food is delicious, the staff are friendly and courteous, the place is super clean...did I mention that the food is delicious? Oh, I did...lol.

“The chipotle of asian food“

“Omg!!!! The food is delicious!!!!and they prepared it right on the spot.
The service is great. They are Vero honest people. I always talked to them and were my work close ,so they knew where i worked. So, I left my credit card on the machine and didn't know I had lost it ,so the next day, I received a call at my job telling me they have my card 🤦‍♀️. I really appreciate the effort they put and the time they took to 5 me . Thank you 😊“

“Good quality of meat. Very nice service. You could enjoy little desert afterward“

“This is my new favorite poke restaurant in the area. The food is fresh, and the service is always so fast. I love that they customize the flavors for you on the spot. My favorites are the salmon, house special sauce, and the seaweed salad. I will definitely be going back!“

“Excellent Filipino fusion food.“

“We dined at their SM North Edsa branch. Good food. 👌 Crews were accommodating. 💯“

“Sweetfin Poke in Santa Monica delivered exactly what I was craving—a super fresh, flavorful, and satisfying meal without the heaviness. I stopped in for a late lunch and built my own bowl with spicy tuna, bamboo rice, avocado, pickled shiitake mushrooms, crispy onions, and their creamy togarashi sauce, and every bite was spot-on. The fish tasted incredibly fresh, the toppings were vibrant and varied in texture, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. The space itself is bright and minimal, and the service was quick but friendly—they helped me navigate the menu and offered great suggestions. I also grabbed one of their sparkling yuzu lemonades which was the perfect balance of tart and refreshing. It’s clear Sweetfin takes pride in quality ingredients and thoughtful combinations, and it’s the kind of place you can go multiple times a week without ever getting bored.“

“Excellent !!!!!!!!“

“Awesome food , they’ve got great teriyaki bowls too!“

“I are here several times at the bar. Cooked on the open fire and had a few great conversations“

“I had a wonderful breakfast experience at this restaurant! The variety of food options was impressive, and everything I tried was delicious. The location is perfect—convenient and easy to access. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a great spot to start the day. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a tasty breakfast in a lovely setting!“

“Utsav was the perfect place to relax and have a savory bite before visiting the nearby South Shore Botanical Gardens. All my favorite dishes and a few new ones were all delicious. Samay tended to us and the other guests promptly. The sweet rice “kheer” rounded off our well priced lunch buffet.“

“Nice location for an large event. www.Instagram.com/MG4Synergy/“

“The ambiance, food and service is great! Will be back definitely 💯!“

“First time.coming down to this one. Usually hit up the one in Little Japantown.

The soup here tastes just as good!
Only gripe... Not nearly as many of the tempura options or musibis like Sawtelle. But they do have the main dishes here and it was fast on a Friday night to order.

This place is bus your own dishes after.“

“comida muy rica y atencion 10/10“

“It was delicious ?? The place was quiet and a bit intimidating but if you check out their website and look over their menu I don't believe you'll be disappointed. The food is a good size portion for the price. I ordered the chicken with tonkatsu. I was hungry and this hit the spot. I think they'd do well if it was a drive thru.“

“I went around 7:45pm today a girl was a cashier she stopped what she was doing to help me to be honest i have never seen this before and she was excellent im very impressed she went over my order and helped me with my points very polite..after i was waiting for a few minutes she continued on what she was doing and when my order came out she got it done quickly im very impressed im definitely coming back.“

“Had a great meal here before a show at the Paramount. My husband had fajitas and I had the potato dish with added rosemary potatoes 🤩. I couldn’t finish mine - very filling but absolutely delicious. The proprietor is welcoming and helpful. We will definitely return and I will make more sensible choices!“

“Kings Hawaiian food bakery restaurant is one of my top three places to go eat I recommended highly to anyone that can drive out to the nearest Kings Hawaiian restaurant enjoy life“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Akai Asian: A Must-Try 5-Star Experience!
​[Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by a self-made professional food critic reviewer!]
​From the moment I stepped into Akai Asian, I knew I was in for a treat. The warm, inviting ambiance and the sight of happy, cordial diners immediately set a fantastic mood. I felt genuinely welcomed by the staff, who guided me through their extensive menu—and wow, was I blown away by the selection!
​For my first visit, I ordered the Chicken Bento Box, and it was easily a 5-star dish. It was a well-balanced masterpiece!
​The box featured a delightful salad with corn, which was perfectly topped with a nice sesame seed oil dressing—it was incredibly savory and very tasty. It also included four delicious California rolls. Alongside these were some fried veggies and fried shrimp. They were very pleasant; not overwhelmingly greasy or heavy, but perfectly fried right to the bite. Lastly, the star was the delicious chicken served on top of fresh veggies and rice. Everything was perfectly prepared, showcasing the high quality and fresh flavors of Asian cuisine.
​Akai Asian is a delightful setting with stellar service and truly exceptional food. I highly recommend it!“

“Beautiful setting for a wedding! The food is super yummy and the staff is amazing! Can’t wait to go back.“

“Ordered the Galbi-jjim and it was so tender and flavorful! The ribs were fall off the bone. Add cheese for extra flavor and a fire show. The side dishes were tasty. Service was good.

Will be back to try the soup and other dishes!“

“For a small take out poke place, this was great. The fish was fresh, and all the ingredients in our poke bowls were well thought out. We had the mango albacore poke bowl and the shitake chili tofu bowl.

Lots of people came and picked up takeout. They do have two small tables in the front on the sidewalk. I would definitely get their poke bowls again. Not much atmosphere needless to say.“
