26 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants in Irvine

“Haidilao Hot Pot was a very great place for dinner. The service was very quick, employees were patient and respectful. Our server Jacob asked to reopen their kitchen just to make us some dessert even though it was after hours. He also gave us a complimentary food option in case they weren't able to make the dessert for us. The service is unbelievably nice. I would come again for dinner.“

“Had a quick pho at Saiga during lunch and ended up sharing a table with a stranger, definitely a rushed experience as I had to move quickly for the next person’s turn. Personally, I don’t think I’ll be back, as the pho didn’t quite justify the price for me. That said, their business model is nice and efficient, catering well to the busy lunch crowd. A cool concept, but not my go-to for pho in OC.“

“I always saw a line whenever I passed by, so I never stopped in—but after a friend’s recommendation, I went early and finally tried it. Now I understand why there’s always a wait! The noodles were so chewy and delicious that I couldn’t resist getting a refill. The spring rolls and egg rolls are also highly recommended. ⭐️“

“I celebrated my birthday here, and I'm so glad I did. P.F. Chang's makes it easy to make a reservation, even with a large party. You can split the bill multiple ways, and staff was accommodating when my guests arrived at different times. There is a variety of delicious food everyone can enjoy. I received a special, sparkling birthday treat at the end. Would come here again!“

“Everything!!! Seriously crunchy wings...double fried I’m guessing? Soy garlic umami goodness. Nom nom! I wish my pillows were filled woth soy garlic glaze, what dreams are made of. So many crispy bits on the crust I swear the wings are the love child of Humpty Dumpty’s fall and a topographical map of Utah. Holy Crunch Batman! “CRUNCH!” CRACK!” “CRISP!” Cool wait staff too. Attentive and they dont disappear for an hour. My glass was always full. Fair prices, the back of house understands portion control. Good beer selection for those who like craft. I’ll definetly come back. Yummy!“

“I tried Haesintang for the first time, and it was such a revitalizing experience that I can confidently say this will now be my go-to nourishing dish. The flavors were vibrant and energizing, truly awakening both my senses and appetite.

The generous combination of octopus, abalone, short ribs, chicken, and mushrooms was impressive from the moment it arrived. Each ingredient tasted exceptionally fresh. The octopus was tender and pleasantly chewy, the abalone delicately cooked, and the short ribs and chicken were simmered until the meat fell effortlessly off the bone.

What stood out most was the broth. Rather than relying on heavy seasoning, it seemed to be crafted from natural ingredients, creating a deep yet clean flavor that beautifully tied everything together from start to finish.

The staff were warm and attentive, kindly refilling side dishes throughout the meal.

The highlight came at the end — rice cooked in the remaining broth to create a rich, comforting porridge. Even though I was already full, I couldn’t stop eating. Paired with crisp kimchi, it was the perfect finish. Despite the generous portions, the meal felt wholesome and easy to digest.

In every aspect — quality, flavor, and service — it was outstanding. I would gladly return and enjoy this dish with my family again.“

“The best dumplings!! I had The Fried Chicken (6 Pieces) at Down Town Disney. Try these yummy dumplings filled with Seasoned Chicken, Pepper Jack Cheese-filled dumplings, battered and crusted with corn flakes. Deep-fried and served with jalapenos & a side of spicy cilantro mayonnaise. You will not regret it. Good luck to the owners just amazing food on wheels.“

“Fantastisk spisested. Kunne være fedt at have i Danmark �“

“I order from Sushi Atelier in Irvine pretty often, and it’s always so good! The sushi is fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared every time. I especially love that it reminds me of the sushi I used to enjoy in Ukraine — very similar in taste and just as satisfying. Definitely one of my favorite sushi delivery spots in Irvine, and I’ll keep ordering from here!“

“I always love coming here. The onigiri is really tasty and they season it well. This place to go to is nice and kinda private plus many places to sit. The service is wonderful too!! Great spot for someone who wants to try onigiri for the first time as it won't let you down for a first try or for someone who loves onigiri.“

“Houston Location: We arrived at our reservation and waited 10 minutes for the hostess. Once seated, we were uninstructed on how to order. Sushi chefs explained the process. Our waiter arrived 10 minutes after, taking our drink order. The app arrived before the waters, followed by the drinks after we ordered and received the sushi. The manager noticed us looking for our waiter but was often in the corner on his phone or socializing with the hostess. The sushi chefs were also on their phones while making the sushi, which was unhealthy. Despite the germy seasoning, the food was amazing.“

“Quick and friendly service, food is yummy!.😋“

“A lovely place for jap curry rice and more. Love all that we ordered! Fresh and so yummy. Highly recommended!“

“Kinaree serves delicious Thai dishes that can be more difficult to find elsewhere and does them well with their own little twists. A friend and I stuck to the “Chef’s Highlights” portion of the menu, but we would definitely like to return to try their breakfast and brunch items if we can resist reordering some favorites. The waitress had shared that since there was a thai restaurant in the plaza, they had to make a unique menu to set themselves apart which is how the thai fusion brunch menu came to be.

We visited on a Monday afternoon and they only had a few other tables. The pandan sweet tea was subtly sweet and had the right amount of aroma from the pandan. The crab cakes were crispy on the outside and packed full of flavor. The tom yum hot pot had tons of seafood and packed with ramen noodles. Definitely tasted better warm, so try this one first if ordering multiple dishes. Khao soi had the depth of flavor you would want from the curry, although I found it to be slightly on the more watery side. I like the array of proteins you can choose from chicken, beef, blue crab, etc. The STAR of the meal was the fried fish with apple salad. As a big fan of this dish, I can say that they made this perfectly crispy with tender fish inside and a fresh apple salad packed full of herbs that just hits the spot! A def must try! I even ordered one to go as well as their crab fried rice that was super fresh and scrumptious! Unfortunately, they were out of their thai tea cheesecake, but the roti with coconut ice cream was a yummy way to end the meal. What can go wrong with indulging in a warm crispy dough topped with creamy coconut ice cream. Cannot wait to return!“

“This is one of the best Thai restaurants where you can get vegan food. They're extremely nice. Very hard-working. Family. Food is amazing. Usually get get pad Thai noodles. They make sure there is no fish or sauce or eggs. They're always super careful.pl do support this restaurant You will definitely not regret it 😊“

“I just wanted to take the time to really thank Pick Up Stix at the Lake Forest location. I always have had a great experience here - whether it be for the food or the customer service.

Recently, I decided to venture off my usual choice - Chow Mein - which I think is the best ever. Unfortunately, the new dish I ordered was subpar, I called the restaurant and spoke to a nice lady (I forgot her name unfortunately), she went above and beyond just replacing the meal. And I really appreciated it. Customer service like this is now rare - but she was so nice about it. A) didn't make me feel low or stuck-up (I hate that feeling esp when the vendor makes the mistake) - this was not the case here B) replaced the meal with another of my choice C) And added a generous extra item on the house

Thank you so much! My family loved the dinner - per usual :)“

“Great food, friendly staff and clean atmosphere.“

“Amazing Food. We ordered quite a few dishes and everything was delicious! The Peking Duck and green beans were my favorite!“

“Been a few times and the best I’ve there are the braised chicken noodle, beef roll and spicy beef noodle. The staff monitors the place like they are military trained. No chance you’ll have to ask for a refill, napkins, fork, etc. They are extremely polite as well. Would highly recommend.“

“We ordered the signature set ($37.99) which came with a dumpling sampler, cold noodle, rose toekpokki (mild), and we did a tonkatsu add on. The only thing we didn't like was the add on, it was overpriced at $5.00 and only tasted ok. But the rest was SUPER DELICIOUS. Everything has such great flavors. Service was amazing, he was very friendly and even walked our food to us at our table. Would definitely come back for more.“

“Probably the best poke we’ve ever had. Super fresh, high quality, melt in your mouth fish that even rivals poke selections on the Hawaiian islands. Good variety of toppings and generous portions; the large was hard for me to finish and I eat A LOT. We ordered 2 large half/half bowls and one small (no drinks) each bowl included an upcharge for premium toppings and the total cost was just over $60. Extremely delectable lunch meal; we would definitely eat here again.“

“👍👍👍👍, very clean and nice. Good service too.“

“Had a blast with my family 👪 ❤“

“Their specialty dishes are: 1. Sullungtang: taste amazing and very light. A good meal for winter/ 2. Cold noodle: the best I've tried so far, especially when you get a combo with spicy pork or bulgogi 3. Meat: spicy pork/bulgogi was homemade and were not like other korean restaurants. Taste very delicious!“

“This was my first time dining at GUI BBQ in Irvine, and I was pleasantly surprised. Even on a Saturday, we didn’t have to wait long to be seated, which was a great start. We were warmly greeted and shown to our table right away.

The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed—perfect for catching up with friends over a great meal. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of the food justifies it. We ordered a variety of dishes, and everything was cooked to perfection.

Service was friendly, though a bit slow at times, but that’s understandable given how busy they were. The staff wasn’t overbearing, which I appreciated, and they still made sure we had what we needed.

Overall, GUI BBQ is a hidden gem in Irvine. Delicious food, a great vibe, and a solid spot for a night out.“
