49 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near San Carlos

“Great food and friendly service. The tables are unfortunately permanently tacky/sticky which never feels good as you're eating. Our waitress was very nice and cleaned it again to make sure that's all it was. But it would be good to fix that.

I'm glad we sat outside, the music inside was nice but it would be far too loud to have a conversation in there.“

“I love momos , fried corn , noodles & fried rice ...“

“This is definitely a hidden gem in a small strip of San Carlos. My bestie took me here for a birthday dinner, so it was as my first time. The sushi is so fresh and everything we ate tasted delicious, melt in your mouth!!! The staff was fun and had great energy! My only caveat is they were not pacing the dishes and it felt a bit overwhelming. Especially since we were the only ones I. There for the longest time. We loved the attention, but yeah, the attention to timing needed to be present. I would recommend this spot to anyone though. It’s definitely cute for a date night of any kind, but also remember you are in San Carlos and not the city, and this is not in the downtown part.“

“Always like a place where the windows open up to the street, and there are a couple tables in front on the sidewalk you could use with your pup. The decor is simple but nice. The service a bit on the slow side, but nothing to complain about assuming you're not in a hurry. Food is very good and flavorful. But being Burmese don't expect your pad thai to be like in Thailand (here it is a little sweeter), nor your curry like India (not as spicy). We came for lunch midweek, and it is a bit expensive for lunch (because all they serve is off the same menu used for dinner). So your better value may be dinner. Our bill was $60 for two without tip or any alcohol.“

“Our hostess Jolly was pleasant and friendly! The service was impeccable and the food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! We are from the East coast and this restaurant was on par with some of the best restaurants in New York City. It's difficult to find a clean, quiet, premium hotel on site of an airport with an equally top notch restaurant. The Hyatt is the place to stay at SFO and enjoy a great dining experience at Quail & Crane! We will be back!“

“Wonderful cafe with nice ambiance. I always love their drinks, and their Korean food is excellent. Haven’t tried the Italian / American dishes yet but I’m sure they’re great too! Wait staff is always friendly and helpful.“

“Rara Palo Alto – A Hidden Gem for Nepalese Cuisine

I’ve had the pleasure of dining at Rara Palo Alto multiple times, and each visit has been nothing short of exceptional. This place truly brings the authentic flavors of Nepal to the heart of the Bay Area. From the moment you step in, the warm ambiance and inviting aroma of freshly prepared spices set the stage for a memorable meal.

What stands out most is the quality of the ingredients—everything feels fresh, organic, and thoughtfully sourced. The spices are vibrant yet balanced, elevating each dish without overpowering it. I’ve traveled and dined at many places, but Rara Palo Alto has earned a special spot on my list of favorites.

A few must-tries: the lamb chops are perfectly cooked and seasoned, the momos are juicy and flavorful, and the Nepali Taas along with Chhoila (both veg and non-veg) are absolute showstoppers. Each plate tells a story of tradition and care.

Behind this incredible food is Chef Binod Paudayal, whose 30+ years of experience shine through in every creation. His journey from small kitchens to luxury hotels is reflected in the finesse and consistency of the dishes here. The staff, too, deserve a shoutout—they’re attentive, friendly, and go out of their way to make you feel at home.

Overall, Rara Palo Alto is more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. I’m happy to give it a well-earned 5 stars and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious, authentic, and heartwarming meal. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Came for the omakase and stayed for the uni ✨The sashimis were so fresh, the mini don with uni is very tasty. Definitely really fresh good quality pieces for good value. The owner is super sweet and nice, we had a great time here, definitely would come again!“

“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“

“This place is a nice hidden gem. If you like Japanese fusion food this spot is a must try. It’s very modern and relaxed inside, and in the evening they even have a nice counter bar to try different beers/sake. They also have their own soda line! Definitely worth going to for a casual date or night out.“

“The portions are generous, and the staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive. However, the cuisine is not really my personal favorite, so the food didn't quite suit my taste.

Overall, it's a decent place if you're looking for generous portions and good service.“

“yo comiendo con un servicio para este cliente por sus seguidores y un servicio“

“Always fresh and fantastic! The guys who work there are always friendly and nice, as well!“

“actually an amazing place. HOW IS IT NOT MORE POPULAR.

the food is BOMB. the lady there is so sweet and helped me on a mandarin project freshman year of hs. love her so much. she is bilingual speaking both english and chinese 服务员可以说英文和中文。

the atmosphere is really chill but is still restaurant vibes it’s great for when i want to go with my friends

also SO AFFORDABLE (especially in comparison to the rest of downtown los altos)

WOULD RECOMMEND 1000%“

“Super good restaurants with healthy and tasty thai food. They do accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions. They could make Jain food for me and also adhere to it strictly even when I order from Doordash and call and let them know about my allergies and Jain religious dietary restrictions. The front desk person is so friendly and helpful.“

“Healthy options Good price“

“Delicious Asian fusion breakfast and lunch“

“Onigilly Japanese Kitchen was a wonderful experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, with authentic Japanese-inspired flavors in every bite. The service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. Everything was delicious and satisfying. Definitely a five-star spot that I’d happily visit again!“

“Highly recommend coming for the Dungeness crab without having to venture out to San Francisco 🫪

We tried the peppercorn crab. The batter was perfect, it was white (meaning the oil is new). Again, I don’t like using my fingers to eat, but PPQ makes it easy. They give you a bib, sanitizing wipes, and napkins to keep your fingers clean. We will be back to try the salted egg and curry options 😊

We also enjoyed their beef papaya salad prior to the crab. It was refreshing and delicious. In addition, the garlic noodles are highly recommended too. To finish it off, we ordered a bowl of white jasmine rice to eat with the crab seasoning.

There is also a parking lot, but look for parking further away if none is available instead of circling around. It’s a pleasant walk around the nice neighborhood.“

“An absolutely delightful experience, from start to finish. The service was welcoming. The food was delicious. The seating areas and interior design was comfortable. My partner and I left with some to go coffees and wished we had time to order more food to go. I look forward to my next visit here.“

“Teriyaki Madness - Redwood City, 875 Middlefield Rd

I keep coming back to Teriyaki Madness in Redwood City for a reason. The staff are consistently friendly and genuinely accommodating, making every visit feel welcome. Service is reliable and attentive—always quick, with a smile, and ready to help with any customization or questions about the menu. The quality of the dishes remains high: flavorful, generously portioned, and easy to customize to my taste. If you’re in the area and craving a dependable, satisfying teriyaki meal, this spot is a great choice.“

“The food is so good - I love the bowls and Ginger iced coffee! Thank you for the nice service too!“

“Great find and will be back often … loved everything about this place“

“The food is absolutely delicious! The staff is friendly and helpful. One of my favorite places to go when in town. Highly recommend.“

“Will be back! Great food 😋😋😋“

“We’ve been here twice, but only downstairs, which can get very noisy. Their yakitori is very good. We also tried the mentaiko udon and grilled corn and both were good, too.

There’s a public parking garage behind the restaurant. Parking is free after 6 pm. You can enter the restaurant through the back door.“

“Earlier this week on Sunday, I was craving some Korean fried Chicken, which I never had before. I did a search on Google and came across Bonchon in San Mateo. The first experience I had, I was not happy with my order because it was not accurate. I ordered an 8 piece, but only received a 4 piece and because it’s through a 3rd party nothing could be done. I decided on Monday I would order this time directly from the restaurant. Everything worked out, and I have to tell you even though my order was not right the first time? This did not take away from the quality of the food. I ordered the drumsticks extra crunch? No sauce, and the first time I ordered with fried rice, both were excellent. The seasoning, it was rich with flavor, and I have absolutely no complaints. The second time on Monday I ordered the same chicken a 4 piece, the corn with the mayonnaise, cheese and red pepper flakes, with a side of steamed rice. Everything was just perfect. I’m not kidding you it’s taking everything in me to control myself from ordering more today, and it’s just Tuesday. It’s just that good! Whoever the chefs are, you can taste the love in their cooking, it’s not just thrown together. There is Love in their food, and know this because my Mom’s food is just the same. Every bite is good. I don’t say these things lightly when it comes to restaurants. There’s not too many that impress me like this. All I can say is keep the love in your food, and don’t change the quality even if you have a million customers, don’t change your food. 5/5 for me, it’s a must try if you love fried chicken or Korean food. I don’t have pictures this time, maybe next time if I can upload I will. The chicken is so crunchy that even when it’s cold it’s still good and crunchy and not soggy. That is when you know food is good, when it gets cold and it’s just as good. Thank you so much for listening.“

“I had the shrimp Pad Thai and it was excellent! Shrimp was fresh tasting. But the tofu was the star! It was so tasty and well coated with their sauce. And it was totally mild and can be ordered with no chillis. I will definitely order again!“

“Great selection of food, the house special pork pan fried bao is delicious -- one of the best outside of China. Love its tapas style, you can get a lot of smaller dishes to share and try a lot of different items! Service is outstanding!! Every server is so hospitable and you can tell they care about their customers.

We tried a lot of their items, would totally recommend the dumplings, XLB, wonton in chili oil, pan fried bao, skewers such as the ox tongue, salmon and chicken. Kids loved the porridge and ramen too. We got a bottle of sake, it comes with the coolest chilling/dispensing device -- it's an experience!“

“Disclaimer, I'm not a milk tea snob. I love trying out the variety of drinks that Quickly provides, as well as the variety of snacks and meals. I only get to visit this one when I'm visiting a friend, cuz the ones around my neighborhood unfortunately got closed down due to bad people. No other milk tea cafe I know of is a one stop shop like Quickly is in my opinion (e.g. has milk tea, flavored milks, bubble waffles of more than two flavors, popcorn chicken, etc), and I don't think any of it is poor quality imo as long as you've set your expectations correctly (like it's not a tea house).“

“Miss Subi is an absolute gem! The food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted with a perfect balance of taste and quality ingredients. The ambiance is cozy and stylish, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a delicious meal. The staff are welcoming, attentive, and truly enhance the overall experience. If you’re looking for amazing food and great vibes, Miss Subi is definitely a must-visit!“

“Great food. My favorite is their wagyu garlic fried rice ($27). The rice is well seasoned and their steak is tender. Overall a very savory and delicious dish.

Note: The dishes are pricey and their portions are small. But each dish is quality.

Their service can be slow. We’ve gone a few times and although we get seated and order quickly, the food can take a bit to arrive.

The restaurant feels like a cozy Japanese restaurant and they also have outdoor seating.

Overall they’re definitely on the pricier side and have small portions but each is dish is well made. It’s nice to have a quality Japanese restaurant in Redwood City“

“Really good Chinese BBQ place. All of the bread items we tried were flaky and tasty, highly recommend the brown sugar one. The skewers were all solid, and I appreciated that the beef had a more teriyaki-style flavor, because too much cumin starts to get a bit sameish. In that regard, you should consider getting an order of the lettuce leaves to use as a wrap for the skewers, it's a great palette cleanser and adds some nice texture.

Would love to go again, but it's a bit far from my house and Chinese BBQ isn't something you can do too frequently.“

“No parking. No place to eat. Sushi isn't meant to be delivered in my opinion. You have to order online. Their QRcode on the door is outdated and doesn't actually take your order. Price doesn't really make sense when there is no dine in option...“

“You go here for the food, not so much the atmosphere. I had the pan fried noodles with bean sprouts and soy sauce, as well as the egg tofu with pea sprouts.

Both were so yummy! Big portions, well-seasoned and skillfully cooked. Would def come again.“

“Great ramen!!! Fast and friendly service!“

“So many creative and yummy options! We were lucky and able to get a same day reservation at 5:15 pm on a Friday.

Service is impeccable and it looked like there was more staff than tables when we arrived but over the course of dinner, as the rest filled up, it made more sense.

We loved the custard appetizer. So smooth with great textures and flavors from the potato, fish roe and everything else in the bowl.

The lasagna was very unexpected yet delicious with layers and ground meat.

The pawns had great flavor and we liked the sausages and tomatoes it came with. I also love that the bodies were de-shelled as already.

The cold noodle was very interesting with the foam. It's a very mild flavor so this dish is more about the presentation and textures.

The scallops were fresh but not that interesting. I love Hokkaido scallops but I prefer them raw. This cook was good, just not that interesting.

The spicy hot tofu soup was fine. It didn't feel different or elevated from what I've had at other places and a touch too salty for our tastes.

There's plenty to try on the menu and would have loved to try the kalbi but our bill was quite pricey already.

I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try, it's a great treat and dining experience.“

“The fact that it is all gluten free is amazing. I haven’t been able to have a bahn mi since I found out I have celiac. I ordered one today and it was so good. The customer service was great. I love this place and definitely recommend! I will be back to try more of their menu items“

“Found this little gem while on a layover at SFO and the food was amazing! I had the Curry Sliced Beef Ramen and it was probably the best I’ve had. The ordering technology threw me off but I got over it quickly, it is 2025. As far as atmosphere…..just a bunch of people quietly eating lunch. I only gave the service 2 stars because it is an online order and someone just deeply it off at the table. Would definitely recommend though.“

“Exceptional service and very good food (quality, presentation, taste)!!!“

“When the host (from Myanmar!) came out with our tea leaf salad and began explaining and mixing each ingredient, by the smell of the blended tea leaf dressing I knew it was spot on, authentic, just right.

The mango puree marinated chicken was very nice. My gin drink with Thai basil was unique and hit the spot. Our Burmese host and I connected over Myanmar, and she laughed at my pronunciation of different Myanmar states. She topped off a to go cup of their super duper spicy chili sauce on our way out.“

“Delicious sushi and dessert!“

“Getting into poke a little more and wanted to give this a shot. The quality ingredients and poke is super delicious! One of my new favorite go to spots for healthy tasty poke! 5 out of 5!“

“Chicken Pho You is a small hole in the wall restaurant right along Broadway in Millbrae. Super convenient parking, and it was quite busy during the morning hours!
They have a few breakfast sets to choose from, and they're all very reasonably priced. I ended up getting the satay beef noodle, a classic Cantonese dish. There was a good amount of beef, and it delivered flavor wise!“

“Healthy, tasty, fresh poke with kind and respectful servers. 5 out of 5 recommend! I like this place.“

“I only order takeout from P.F. Chang’s, and while the food is always solid, what really stands out to me is the service. Every time I pick up an order, the staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and makes sure everything is taken care of. The manager especially deserves recognition. She is always extremely welcoming and goes above and beyond to make sure I have a great experience. It’s honestly impressive to receive this level of service even when I’m just picking up a takeout order. The staff and especially the manager deserve a lot of credit, and they’re a big reason why I’ll keep coming back“

“I think the location just opened at @SFO International Terminal G and what a delicious, freshly prepared breakfast. We had their Brunch Box with pork, 2 fried eggs, small salad, spicy fish sauce and rice…all for $10.99! With this quality food and great customer service the SFO location will be a success for sure! @SFO @Asian Box“

“The food is always great!“
