50 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Montebello

“This place is GREAT! Went yesterday with my dad for the first time and I fell in LOVE ! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I got the steak bowl with the veggies and it was DELICIOUS 😋 a MUST try if you haven't ill be coming to this place alot more often!“

“The pork katsu was amazing, but the macaroni and the salad need some improvement. I hope it was just an off day, but the macaroni had a strange taste, and the salad was bland. I really hope those two items are improved because the pork katsu itself was excellent.“

“I just want to say that not only the food is good here, but also their customer service. There was only one gentleman working today. He was the cashier and the cook. He had so many customers, yet as busy as he was, he was efficient, friendly, and acknowledged each person as they walked in. This guy needs a raise for all his hard work. Thank you“

“I ordered a few menu items via DoorDash. Unfortunately, DoorDash did not deliver one of the items and, they declined my request for a refund (warning to those who use DoorDash). I want to thank Mgr. Joshua for taking the time to deliver the item to me directly, that DoorDash failed to deliver. The food I did receive was delicious. Thank you again.“

“Our cashier was super cool excellent skills to take our order and the place was super clean fresh. The food was well served and our order was perfectly what we order.“

“We had a 9PM, Sunday reservation at Sora Craft Kitchen, and when we first pulled up, we genuinely thought we were at the wrong place. The surrounding area is very dark and industrial at night, there were barely any cars around, and from the outside you would never expect what’s waiting for you inside.

The second we walked in, it was a completely different atmosphere. It was quiet and super ambient. One thing that immediately surprised me was that it didn’t smell like at all. We were greeted by the chef himself, and seeing him prepare everything right in front of us made the experience even more special. He was essentially running the kitchen himself, yet every dish came out surprisingly fast, fresh, and beautifully prepared.

We started with the Dry-Aged Tenderloin Shish Kebab, and that alone immediately set the tone for dinner. The beef was incredibly flavorful and tender.

Then the chef brought out the Mastabe and PLEASE!! If you come here, ORDER THIS. It ended up becoming the staple of our entire dinner. It’s this creamy house-made yogurt, we literally started adding it to EVERYTHING. The garlicky, creamy freshness somehow complemented every meat and every dish without overpowering anything.

Next came the Siverek Tava, and this one completely blew me away. The combination of ground beef, tomato, and roasted eggplant was incredible. My boyfriend HATES eggplant. Like, refuses to order anything with eggplant level of hate. Even he was shocked at how good it was and how perfectly the eggplant worked with the beef. Huge props to the chef because changing someone's mind about an ingredient they swear they hate says a lot.

The Grilled Branzino came next and was a perfect change of pace. Simple, fresh, perfectly grilled, and topped with vegetables. After all the richer flavors, the fish felt light and refreshing while still having plenty of flavor.

Then we had the Icli Kofte, which might have been one of the biggest surprises of the night. I wasn't expecting such an explosion of flavor from this dish.

Our last savory dish was the Garlic-Spiced Kebab. At this point I was so full and genuinely thought there was no way I was going to finish another dish... and then I kept eating it. It was smoky, garlicky, juicy, and so flavorful that I literally couldn't stop.

And somehow we still made room for dessert.

We finished with the Cheese Halva with Yuzu–Black Sesame Ice Cream, and it was the PERFECT ending. The warm cheese halva practically melted in our mouths. While the ice cream had this refreshing flavor that reminded us of mint and pistachio. The pistachio pieces underneath added the perfect crunch and texture to balance everything out.

What impressed me most about Sora wasn't just one specific dish. It was how thoughtfully everything paired together. Every dish tasted completely different. Nothing felt generic or like something you could order at any other restaurant. You can genuinely taste the freshness and the amount of thought the chef puts into the flavors, textures, and pairings.

Don't let the location fool you. Once you walk through those doors, it's this little hidden gem where the food completely speaks for itself.

Mastabe is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Order it and put it on everything.

Such an amazing dinner and the perfect way to end our day. We left ridiculously full and already talking about coming back. Easily one of the best meals we've had so far.“

“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.“

“Good food big portions. Fast service.“

“The staff is great and friendly. The food is delicious!“

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

“I really want to give it five stars and I may come again in the future. The food is great, to be honest, the pork shoulder and mushroom rice is enough.“

“Coconut beef adobo and cornbread bibingka are outstanding!“

“The food is an upgrade from Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Treat yourself American! Shootz!“

“Bento boxes are of great quality here. The attention to detail of this curated meal definitely lets your eyes feast first. All the little sides taste amazing, especially the candied sweet potatoes. The vegetables alternate between sweet and salty to balance out the meal. The Scottish salmon and mackerel are cooked to perfection. The little yolk in the rice also adds a nice touch to mix in and eat.“

“Delicious & authentic Cantonese and Vietnamese cuisine! Everything was so fresh and well prepared. Service was spectacular!“

“Food was absolutely delicious! Jonathan was an exceptional - guided us through the menu.“

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

“We ordered the pork chop rice (豬排飯), beef noodle soup (牛肉麵), house cold noodles (雞絲涼麵), and popcorn chicken (鹽酥雞). The portions were massive, and everything tasted completely authentic to me. My absolute favorite was the pork chop rice, especially because it came topped with that savory minced pork belly. The service was fantastic, and the restaurant is incredibly clean and family-friendly.“

“Qauint and charming sushi place. Reaonably priced for fresh sashimi and sushi dishes. Very pleasantly surprised w the freshness of the seafood!
Service was attentive and sweet even when it got busy.
Definitely a repeat customer!“

“Excellent Filipino fusion food.“

“The food is an upgrade from Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Treat yourself American! Shootz!“

“Nice romantic atmosphere which you can actually hear others talk to you. Deep fried whole catfish is a spectacular dish! Great attentive service by staff.“

“I don’t even know where to begin.

I was craving Korean food—specifically bulgogi and vegetables—and this place came up as a Top Eats recommendation with outstanding reviews. I took a chance… and wow, am I glad I did.

This is some of the best Korean food I’ve had. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with care.

I ordered delivery, and even that was flawless. Everything was packaged thoughtfully, nothing spilled (including two drinks!), and every item that was supposed to be crispy actually stayed crispy. That’s rare.

The bulgogi is outstanding. Pair it with the glass noodles or the rice—or do what I did and get both. The house-made kimchi is absolutely delicious, and I took a gamble on ordering an entire bottle of their spicy mayo. Big mistake… because now I wish I’d ordered two.

The eggplant with crispy tofu and vegetables was another standout—savory, satisfying, and absolutely delicious, especially paired with that spicy mayo. The tofu stayed perfectly crisp, which made it even more impressive for delivery.

And then there’s the butterfly peach tea. I don’t know what kind of magic is in that drink, but it completely blew me away. Fresh, balanced, and easily one of the best teas I’ve ever had.

The bulgogi sandwich was rich, indulgent, and somehow still perfectly balanced. Every bite of everything I ordered made me think, “These people really know what they’re doing.”

In fact, I called the restaurant after my meal just to tell them how incredible everything was and to make sure the chef and the team heard how impressed I was. They were just as kind over the phone as their food was exceptional.

The portions are generous, the prices are more than fair, and every dollar felt well spent. Eating out isn’t cheap these days, but this is exactly the kind of place that’s worth it.

I genuinely can’t believe I didn’t know about this restaurant sooner, but I’m so glad I found it. I’ll absolutely be visiting in person because I want to thank the team myself.

10/10. One of those rare meals that exceeds every expectation. I can’t wait to work my way through the rest of the menu.“

“Friendly customer service“

“Got the chicken spicy wontons and the spicy beef noodle soup. Both had great flavor that wasnt over barring. Noodles and wontons were made fresh so the flavor was amazing. I like more spice for my preference but nothing some chili oil didn't fix. Will definitely come back and try more items.“

“I have been coming here for over a year
2-3x week . Adriana y Adela always treat me great . Greet me by name and prepare my food amazing . I appreciate how clean they keep the restaurant and their energy they bring to this restaurant.“

“We were a family of 5 and we all got a milk tea boba. Everyone loved their drinks and food. The portions were generous and delicious. The beef bologa and orange chicken were so great. I'm so glad to we checked this place out. It was the perfect ending to our vacation.“

“The woman that took my order, I should have got her name, was very kind, helpful and informative. I will definitely be back again.“

“Its open and they really made sure its safe , service and food perfect . Happy days“

“Great place....spicy beef salad and mango sticky rice are awesome.“

“muuuuy rico todo .. ......“

“Great Vietnamise food. Food it really delicious and the owner is very nice.“

“Good food, portions & service...“

“I got the chicken and beef plate. I waited for about 5 minutes and was pleasantly surprised by the portion size when it came out. Everything was fresh and tasted great! Definitely one of the best budget friendly Asian fusion spots I’ve been to. Worth its money big time!“

“the restaurant is super clean. If you show up thinking you're going to order Orange chicken, Broccoli beef, kung pao chicken or any of that chinese fast food then this is not the place for you. BUT if you're looking for some delicious mouth watering dumplings cooked in various forms then you're at the CORRECT place. I brought my mom here and we tried the pork chive regular dumplings, the pan fried beef and cumin dumplings and the regular fried rice. All of it was delicious. Also they give you a complimentary bowl of egg drop corn soup. NOT a small bowl but a good size portion, it was GOOOOOD. I will definitely be back with the rest of the family and I want to try the beef noodle soup. DON'T fall asleep on the fried rice.“

“We've watched videos and only dreamed of trying Uyghur cuisine. But today we actually experienced it and we were excited, amazed and satisfied. The quality of the food at this restaurant was exceptional. The flavors were great and the service was also good.
We literally asked for a spoon to savor the last of the delicious sauce from our lamb stew. Yum!
And the, I think they are called samsas, they were hot and fresh.
We were thoroughly impressed with the freshness of the food even though the food arrived quickly to the table.
We can't wait to visit again:)
Very impressed. Five Plus Stars“

“Great rolls. Big selection.... fresh.“

“Was at Santa Anita Mall and it was dinner time. Had seen Marugame Udon many times, but had never tried it until today. Tried the new Bolongese Udon with a potato croquette and sweet potato tempura. Ambience is great and the wall artwork is fabulous. Noodles were fresh and bowl was warmed before plating. I ordered a large size and was not disappointed. Free toppings were nice: tempura flakes, wake, cilantro, grunions. Tempura was nice and crispy. Potato croquet was good but a bit too sweet for my liking. Grabbed a Calamansi Ade to drink; nice Calamansi flavor and not overly sweet. Tempura dipping sauce was excellent. Appreciate the Togarashi and chili oil as well if you want a bit of spice. Free water cups also appreciated.

For the bolognese, please don’t think this will be similar to an Italian restaurant; this is the Japanese riff on bolognese. A boiled egg may seem odd at first, but it gives the dish a wonderful creamy texture when mixed with the cheese. The ground meat rounded out the dish well. Cilantro and togarashi paired really well by providing freshness and a hint of spice (I love spicy stuff). While this dish will not be for everyone, I’d encourage people to try it, as it is quite filling and really good for what it is. If you’ve had Japanese pasta before, you’ll know.

Will be coming back to try other Udon options and tempura. Udon is great comfort food, and Marugame does it well!“

“Great atmosphere, comfortable, drinks are AMAZING!!! Staff are attentive, and courteous. Definitely will be returning!“

“it was very affordable, only we couldn't resist ordering more because it was all delicious. everything we tried was harmonious. except the egg cheese buldak ramen wrap, although that could have been expected. we ate lunch here, and came back the same day for dinner because it was too good.“

“The staff are friendly. We enjoyed the Kitchen boat. The garlic fried rice with chicken was very good and tasted similar to hibachi fried rice. Brought my young nephews and they enjoyed the beef and chicken teriyaki. Will definitely come again and will try other sushi and noodles dishes.“

“My man got us some pho since we were feeling under the weather, and it was bomb, were from out of town and it was a good experience through and through and we got takeout! From dope Togo cutlery and packaging to the requests being done exceptionally and the food tasting amazing def wish I lived out here to get it more frequently. I had the Anthony bourdain pho and my man had the beef brisket and it was delish good portions too!“

“I just got a bowl at the new spot by USC. Juicy chicken, nice fluffy rice, The chipotle sauces are tasty and service was fast. I'll get another bowl for sure.“

“The food is delicious!!! The broth for the beef ramen is so flavorful and the gyoza are perfectly cooked! The drinks and water are refreshing. The service is great! Very kind and polite. As a anime watcher, I love the atmosphere, the lights and anime posters with the music make it very enjoyable to be there.“

“I've always seen this restaurant on the corner passing by and always wanted to try it out. I came into order for takeout and got my food in less than 2 minutes. Got home and the food was still piping hot. The service is spectacular and the food was amazing. Its a great place for great food and quick and friendly service. Will definitely be coming back.“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

“The best quarantine comfort food! Love this place! 😋“

“My first time here, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The rare beef pho was absolutely delicious, with a rich, flavorful broth and tender beef that melted in my mouth.
What really stood out, though, was the outstanding customer service. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The staff made me feel right at home, checked in regularly, and were happy to answer questions and make recommendations. It's rare to find a place where both the food and service are equally impressive.
Great food, great atmosphere, and genuinely kind people. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious pho and exceptional service.“

“When I’m in Whittier visiting my sister I always swing by for a bowl of Pho and spring rolls“

“Place is awesome!! Our waiter Peter gave us some great recommendations, made us feel really welcomed and remembered us on our second visit a month later. Great neighborhood “goto” place a good meal and drinks!!“
