9 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants in Palo Alto

“Healthy options Good price“

“Onigilly is always my favorite quick, affordable lunch, especially when I want something nutritious and savory. I was in a rush today, so I UberEats, everything took like 30 mins, arrived warm and smell delicious!!!

Normally I would have ordered non vegan, but I would like to try the vegan onigiri this time and they were just as good. The rice was perfectly seasoned. For fillings, I had shiitake mushroom, teriyaki tofu, braised seaweed & nasu eggplant. Teriyaki tofu and nasu eggplant were probably my favorites, but all four were delicious. Each onigiri costs $3.99.

Overall, cheap, light, filling, and nutritious, super ideal for a busy day. Always recommendedddddd“

“My partner and I recently found this spot on her lunch break because we were craving soup and wanted to avoid dealing with parking downtown.

We both ordered the momo (buffalo) noodle soup and were blown away! The noodles were similar to mama/indomie rather than fresh, but I ended up loving it regardless. The broth was very light but super flavorful and savory. AND THE MOMOS!!! Absolutely to die for; I think they were the best I've ever had. Not to mention it was very fairly priced and lasted us both for two meals.

Not to mention, especially in the South Bay, most Nepalese/Himalayan restaurants heavily feature Indian food. Rara stands out to me because Nepali food is absolutely the star here. I wasn't familiar with a majority the menu and that's a great thing because it means they're offering unique dishes you can't find everywhere. Plus, the service was incredibly friendly and kind.

This is definitely going to be a new go-to place for us!“

“Needed something hot to hit the spot on a cold rainy day. The place was packed with students from Stanford. Ordering was easy and quick with the mobile service. The pad pad was steaming hot, which is something I always appreciate about quick service food and the Thai tea was delicious!

Pro tip: ask for the bean sprouts to be cooked with your pad thai!“

“Many promotions going on, they have eat for under $10 and I was more than full. Also they have a gift card deal and more discounts when leaving a review that I am taking advantage of! This place is very well priced and you can tell everything is fresh. I saw the girl cutting up all the vegetables from scratch. Very honorable place, really liked the kake, similar to miso soup in my opinion“

“Sweet Maple, a chain brunch restaurant, is not only available in Palo Alto but also in Cupertino and San Francisco. Every weekend, there are long lines of people waiting.

For a period of time, I often went to Sweet Maple in PA for brunch. I tried many dishes but couldn't figure out what made it so special. My personal experience was that it was functional, and perhaps a workermanlike approach is what customers need!

Sometimes success doesn't require your plating to be as exquisite as Michelin-starred restaurants, because your competitors are IHOP and Denny's.

Functional, consistently functional, with a slightly better environment and appearance, can make you stand out.“

“We’ve hosted two events at this P.F. Chang’s location, and it has become our go-to venue for large gatherings.

From the very beginning, Regional Manager Jay Jenkins was incredibly easy to work with. He was responsive, accommodating, and made the planning process seamless with his prompt communication.

We recently held a retirement party for 35+ guests, and the service was truly exceptional. Brenden and Anastasia were outstanding—they anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, kept drinks refilled, and made sure everyone was well taken care of throughout the event. Their attentiveness and professionalism made a lasting impression on all of our guests.

The large group menu offered plenty of delicious options, and we appreciated that non-alcoholic beverages were included, making it a great value. We’re also grateful to the manager for allowing us extra time beyond our reservation and for letting us come in early to decorate and set up.

This location is honestly a hidden gem for hosting events. Part of me wanted to keep it our little secret, but the team deserves the recognition. Thank you to Jay, Brenden, Anastasia, and the entire staff for making our celebration so memorable. We’ll definitely be back for future events!“

“Hubby and I came here before a show at Stanford. Hubby has allergies and they have a GF menu!

I had the Fiery Chicken with tofu and it was delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the sauce had a bit of kick and sweetness, the tofu was nice and crisp and veggies were delicious.

Hubby had coconut chicken and had the same things to say.

You also get warm towels to start. We haven’t seen those since we left Europe!

Would definitely recommend and we will be returning.“

“Delicious sushi and dessert!“
