50 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Lawndale

“Absolutely smacks. For less than $20 this is the best meal you can get in the area. Service is good, food is better. I like the chicken more than the beef but both are great. My order is chicken avacado. Only think is I miss the chili garlic that other places have but this place is still better. Been coming here for two years. Always hits. Not a lot of seating so order takeout if you can.“

“If I could leave more stars my Lord knows I would!! Never have I been treated with such amazing customer service at any other Yoshinoya. The young manager with the blue hair, Suzy or Suzana, I think she said was her name, was amazing, she gave me incredible customer service with a smile! Even though I seen her taking both indoor and drive thru. This was my first time coming to this location since I was close by and was craving some gyoza but I will absolutely be coming back and you can thank that manager!!!“

“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“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Both dishes were so good! I really liked the way they cooked the Bento- Shio Koji Marinated Norwegian Mackerel. The side dish Side- Chicken Karaage (Mild or Spicy)- had just the right amount of spice (l ordered mild). Overall, this will definitely be my go-to lunch spot now! (Doordash Pickup)“

“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!“

“Love this place. The fish is fresh and the option to build your own bowl is great.“

“Absolutely blown away by this amazing Chinese restaurant! We started with the Beijing duck, and it was hands down one of the best I’ve had—crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. You could taste the quality and care put into every bite.

We also ordered the fried chicken wings, and they were packed with flavor—perfectly crispy, seasoned just right, and seriously addictive.

The char siu, sausage, and shrimp fried rice was a total standout. Every bite was loaded with rich flavor and generous portions of meat and seafood, making it one of the most satisfying fried rice dishes I’ve had in a long time.

The fried tofu was also delicious—crispy on the outside, soft and silky on the inside, and paired perfectly with the dipping sauce.

On top of the amazing food, the waitress was super friendly and kind, which made the experience even better. Will definitely be back to have some more!“

“Best little place in town!!! So sad to see them closing, so happy I got one last fantastic meal!!!“

“I found my new poke spot. They have poke, ice cream, and SUSHI here! The poke is extremely fresh and the price is the lowest I could find around me. The sushi rolls are really big and fresh. Look how cute the chopsticks are!! I believe they are made from bamboo. Overall the price, taste and portion sizes are 5/5 in my books This place is a must try if your in the area ^_~“

“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 😊“

“i had their bowls and it was delicious and affordable for all that they put on there!! huge size and flavor.. 5* for me i highly recommend them...yummmmmm///. yo. comi sus bowls y les doy un 5* por tanta comida como buen sabor...buen precio por tanta comida...“

“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!“

“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 !!!!!!!!“

“Asian-fusion brunch?! Yes!!!

There's a long list of dishes that I want to try. This morning, the 3 of us shared several dishes.

My favorite was the BACON sampler and mocha waffle. The eggs Benedict with bacon was okay. So was the egg scrambled. Just okay.

I think I'll come back and try more of the Asian-fusion items that's unique to this place. Pricey ($$$) because of the prime location on the corner Ocean & Olympic, just south of the 10 fry and the SM Pier. But a great place to entertain and impress.“

“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.“

“I highly recommend the avocado butter for brunch! It is beyond delicious. We had women’s brunch event for church at their location and the service was impeccable. The food was great. Give this place a try. I will be coming back for dinner“

“Utsav Indian Cuisine is hands down the best Indian food restaurant in the South Bay. Just real authentic food without all the pretense of some of the beach city places that supposedly sell "Indian" food. The lunch buffet is reasonably priced and always well stocked and the wait staff are very pleasant and attentive to all our needs.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“I have been going here for a while. Food is consistently good. The owners are very kind. Food is not salty but flavorful but just in case you want it salty they do have salt and pepper on the table. My girlfriend and I love to choose number two and number three in the menu.“

“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.“

“one place uou can't ho wrong. Finally Indian fine cuisine at it's BEST. I highly recommend.“

“Ordered the shrimps lover roll and golden tiger roll along with miso soup, thai tea, and house salad.

The rolls were on point, not amazing, but they are above average for sure. Will definitely be back to try more things. Thai tea was good as well. Salad dressing was not the best.

Price was typical for sushi about 30 bucks a person with tip.“

“The food was good. I was expecting more peanut sauce and sweet soy sauce drizzled on the sate but it wasn't. The shrimp sate was very confusing to me. The soto betawi was not bad, but not great either. The nasi bungkus also was ok. Soda gembira was great! All in all, food was ok. Didn't quite hit the spot for Indonesian food but it's not bad. Price wise is cheaper than the other one.“

“This has got to be the best teriyaki I have had. My wife and I were exploring LA and staying in LA for our sixth wedding anniversary we stopped here for lunch and we loved it, I got the chicken and beef large bowel and my wife got the veggie bowl and it was delicious. The staff are great and it’s a nice little restaurant. Highly recommend it. We were satisfied and full of good food.“

“It the best around wabagrill top healthy in cail I luv it“

“Love Beaux, I can stop by for a quick drink and some appetizers to full dinner 🥘 I just love that this place reminds me of Tokyo back in my young days in Tokyo lol 😂 great cocktails and awesome Japanese whiskies🥃 Waitresses are super friendly and attentive, and this place is great for Nijikai nightcap as well ✨“

“friendly atmosphere good food and the people are polite.“

“Best poke bowls in the area (and I’ve tried all of the local places)! Check them out! 🍣“

“Had the plant inspired steak bowl. Excellent and delicious. Cashier was polite friendly and attentive. And gorgeous. Not stuck up.madevsure vmy order was correct and provided all utensils and added more waba sauce when it came out. All while taking orders from stream of customers. atmosphere a touch rangey but the local must be taken into consideration.

Parking: Room for my Rig!! Down at the end of the plaza but it is there! Nuff said..“

“Esta muy rico y muy saludable“

“Food is good Nd worth every penny“

“Delicious! The guy working was SO friendly and very helpful. Jumped right in to help us out on our first time ordering.

Poke was great! Loved all the topping and mix in options and the fish tasted fresh. Very good. The avocado I got was weirdly hard and really not edible… couldn’t even chew it, but I’m guessing it was just a fluke avocado situation. (You know how avocados can be. 🤷🏻‍♀️) Sauces were thick and flavorful. Best poke spot I’ve found in the area. 😋

Bonus points for a nice outdoor seating (with umbrellas!) and also a great location close enough to grab it to-go and head out for a beach picnic.“

“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 !“

“Fun combo spot for Asian comfort food and dessert. Garlic noodles with shrimp hit the spot, and the churros are crispy outside, soft inside. Orders come out fast and hot. Good for groups who want different things. Parking is plentiful in the lot“

“Great staff food and love everything about it keep up the good work“

“I dream about their fried rice, it's that good. Their ramen is a clear, light broth that is much different and lighter from the offerings on Sawtelle, but it's just as flavorful and delicious. I recommend it if you're looking for a lighter broth. But definitely get at least a side of their pork fried rice!“

“i had their bowls and it was delicious and affordable for all that they put on there!! huge size and flavor.. 5* for me i highly recommend them...yummmmmm///. yo. comi sus bowls y les doy un 5* por tanta comida como buen sabor...buen precio por tanta comida...“

“This is a favorite of mine! Service is very friendly and accommodating. The food is plentiful and delicious! I highly recommend!!“

“I called in my order and walked over to pickup. While opening the front door I realized I forgot my wallet. Asked if they had Google Pay - nope, only Apple Pay. So had to walk back home to get my wallet and I confess I thought about not going back and just making my own damn lunch. I even thought about driving the 1.5 blocks, but ended up walking back and I'm so happy I did.Got the Teriyaki Chicken Bento. Normally I don't order chicken because to me it's usually bland and dry, but their teriyaki chicken was perfect. The steamed veggies were just the way I like them, they weren't crunchy and not overcooked &soggy. Tempura was really good: shrimp, sweet potato, carrot, and squash - all the ones I like! The only thing I was slightly disappointed in was the potato salad because it was American deli style and not Hawaiian. It was still very good though just a bit too mustardy for me. And I loved the pickled radish and carrots - wish they doled out a bit more though.“

“Tremendous, upbeat staff. Very welcoming. Great variety of food and drink. Great vibe“
