29 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Pinole

“Came here on a Wednesday for their 98 cent wings. Note that you have to buy in multiples of 10, even though the sign says 10 pieces minimum. The people working here were very nice, but the food was a bit disappointing. The wings were covered in oil, which really distracted from any flavor they had. I probably wouldn't come back here.“

“Tigon is excellent, above par, a hidden gem on San Pablo. I've probably been here 5-6 times now with my fiance. She gets the same thing every time: Catfish Sweet and Sour Soup and she swears it gets better every single time. On the other hand, I try something new every time because each dish I've had has been better than the last. Catfish Claypot, Pho, and Papaya Salad are all big hitters.“

“The vegetarian food was great! Love the potatoes from Szechuan!“

“My food was absolutely amazing I’m from Rochester New York“

“Atmosphere, customer service, prices and the freaking food is amazing 😍. Highest rated casual dining from Hayward to Vallejo! For good reason! This is a must if in the area. We will be back!“

“Their onigiri is really good! I’m not always in the mood for spam, but they have plenty of options without spam too, and I haven’t had anything I haven’t liked yet. They partner with several delivery services and their food always is packed well and is ready quickly for the drivers. Definitely recommend!“

“I love this place, delicious food...👌👌🤤“

“service and quality are top notch“

“I was hesitant to come back after I had a bad experience a year ago before they rebranded; which a lot of the older reviews reflect. VERY happy to say that they've improved significantly, I got the five spice chicken with an iced coffee and both are fantastic. Meat tastes great and the bread is perfect. Worth giving them another shot if you started avoiding this place like I did before.
Friendly staff too.“

“You know it's good when my 12yr old grandson eats all his spicy noodles. Plenty of food, no skimping, staff is wonderful. We're going to try the Concord location next. Same cook there that was in Southampton and he's great!“

“Loved the food, I got the prime rib steak teriyaki and the mango ice cream. Service was great and waitresses were very friendly. Atmosphere was great, I love the light fixtures. Music was a little loud, though. I’d prefer jazz or an instrumental track over lyrical music.“

“Yummy Chinese food! Potstickers are made fresh

Vegetarian options: vegetarian options available

Dietary restrictions: vegetarian options available, but it is an asian restaurant so dont expect a whole bunch of options for dietary restrictions like Kosher, vegan, nut free etc

Parking: located on the corner of a street, a couple of parking spots available

Kid-friendliness: kid friendly but a lot of spicy dishes

Wheelchair accessibility: not wheelchair accessible, need to go up stairs“

“I got the gan-jang beef bowl for $16.53 after tax. I think the beef flavor was good, but the beef texture itself was inconsistent. There were tender/fatty portions, but parts of the beef were quite tough & hard to chew. It came with a soft boiled egg, rice, sesame, and seaweed flakes.

They charge $2.50 extra for kimchi. I feel like if you order the meal without kimchi, it lacks veggies & something to help you finish the rice. If you were to compare that experience to sit-down korean restaurants with free kimchi/banchan, it’s stingier. I would feel better paying this price if it came with kimchi, which seems like a necessary part of the meal.

The owner was nice enough to offer me extra beef/free kimchi as a one-time service, and I took him up on that.“

“Very delicious authentic Asian cuisine. The pork and duck combo were magnificent. The owner/operator is super nice. Hong Kong ice milk tea is a great sipper on a hot day. I'm not sure about seating, but I took it to go, so it wasn't an issue. Very reasonable prices.“

“If you’re looking for a great spot to grab Chinese food in Richmond, V8 Kitchen on Macdonald Ave is definitely worth checking out. My wife and I found this place on Google Maps while looking for something new to try—and we’re glad we did! The photos and menu looked promising, and we were in the mood for a good lunch date.

As soon as we walked in, the lady who took our order greeted us with a warm welcome and helped us feel right at home. She was quick, polite, and made the whole experience feel personal. The place had a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, perfect for a casual and relaxing couple’s lunch.

The food? Excellent. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. You can tell they put care into their dishes, and it shows in the taste. The prices were also really fair for the quality and portion size.

All around, this was a great little food adventure for us. If you're local or just passing through Richmond and want good Chinese food with kind service and a calm vibe, V8 Kitchen is a nice choice.“

“Amazing food and service. Ambiance on point as well“

“Food is great ! Service is so so . They did forget a dish and were a bit slow even after the happy hour rush ended . They brought the bill before asking whether we wanted dessert ( we did ) this time and the last time we came . Still I’d go back as the food is too good!“

“We ordered a pho chicken soup which was bug enough for two and a Vietnamese roll with shrimps. Food was tasty :) the place has complementary hot tea 🙌

The place which is designated to eat could be a bit “nicer” but its ok. A bit cold but the soup will help :)“

“Delicious Thai food! Waitresses were very friendly & on top of making sure you’re drinks & hot tea were filled. I think we found our Thai restaurant & not very far from our house. ❤️“

“Drunken noodles were amazing. Curry chicken was ok. Fried rice was ok. Slightly pricey (almost $3 for a small bowl of white rice). Soup was not very good.

They have a limited and pricey alcohol menu, but the servers know almost nothing about drinks.

If you find the right dish, and aren't looking for drinks, it is an ok place to eat. Servers are friendly.“

“My dad was craving shrimp fried rice so I was searching in a place in Vallejo for take out and thought I’d try 88 baobao’s. I called in and it was easy to place an order. I ordered shrimp fried rice, sauteed green beans, popcorn chicken, and a side of cucumbers. My order was ready in 10-15 mins for pick up. Service was quick. This was my first time ordering from this location, I didn’t even order any baos sio mai or dumplings but I tried them at other locations. They have indoor seating and the food has huge portions to serve lots of people and last for multiple meals. Located in the Gateway Plaza across from Vallejo Costco, so there’s plenty of parking. Located next to Ulta and quickly.“

“A good place to taste Korean and Japanese cuisine with a twist.“

“I had Pra Ram with chicken and Chicken Satay. It was absolutely delicious. What I appreciate it most is that they gave plenty of peanut sauce. A lot of Thai restaurants skimp on the sauce, but not this one. I also enjoyed the authentic environment of the restaurant. The restroom left something to be desired in the way of cleanliness, but I didn't let it take away from my enjoyment of this experience.“

“Best restaurant in town .Food was amazing.“

“ton katsu rice bowl: amazing!!!
spam rice bowl: not good.

“We discovered Dumpling Time recently, and we are absolutely in love with the restaurant! Their dumplings and gyoza are absolutely delicious. In addition, the visual presentation of each dish is gorgeous. Jaime serves us every time we visit, and he's very nice and he always provides exceptional service! Overall, we give Dumpling Time a five star rating and HIGHLY recommend! 👍🏼🙂“

“Good portions and friendly staff. Love the atmosphere and college town feel.“

“I recently discovered this place back a few months. I saw a line stemming from outside while delivering something at the nearby UPS. Staff were quick and clearly experienced. They wasted no time and got your order quickly. Got the fried wings and sesame chicken with noodles and fried rice. I was pleasantly surprised at the price. The food was quality and the portions were more than enough. I'm still going there to this day and I can't get enough. The fact that they rival other Chinese places in terms of food quality, food price, and food portions is a clear indication that owner and staff are experts in the business acumen.“
