35 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants in San Francisco

“While this spot is generally considered one of the best Thai spots in the city, I found it to be a bit over rated. Service was just ok and the food was disappointing. The beef curry was good but not as good as it should be considering the price. The beef wasn’t as tender as it should be and the curry was mismatched with fats and spices, generally a bit flat on flavor. Scallops were very good and had subtle Thai flavors that meshed very well with the scallop’s natural flavor. Fried chicken was my least favorite and completely not worth it. I’m not sure what happened here but very little expected flavor and zero exciting or inspiring flavor. Bland is best to describe.

Wine selection was very good. Presentation was beautiful for each dish. Seems like something potential changed, or maybe it was just the day after Valentine’s Day and the team had enough.

Kid-friendliness: Yes.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“THe food was amazing. Our server Kevin, every guy there is Kevin, was not clear and was pushing us to get the most expensive dishes. We ended up ordering 2 half Pekín ducks which was more expensive than ordering a whole one. I felt he our server wanted us to spend more money. Aside from that the food was great.“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“The dumplings are really tasty. The interior and overall atmosphere are great.

I felt that it was a bit overpriced, and they have only one toilet with a constant line(hence 4 stars).

I can recommend if you not planning to use their bathroom.“

“Finally after what feels like multiple attempts, I got to try Senor Sisig's vegan menu at their Ferry Building location. I'm happy that they've incorporated the vegano menu into all their brick and mortars. I had to try their Vegano Tosilog Burrito, with your choice of vegan protein, garlic adobo rice, tomatoes, and Just Egg scramble. I went with their vegan chicken which I'm sure was seasoned seitan and let me tell you, it works. The sweet and saltiness you'd normally find in pork was captured in their chicken. All the ingredients meshed well together and combined with some vinegar for dip, was absolutely delicious. Although busy, I'd try to snag a table outside in their dedicated seating area. You get wonderful views of the bay while enjoying some great food. Thank you Senor Sisig and I hate your presence remains inside the Ferry Building for years to come.“

“How could we have not gone to Piglet & Co earlier? I have no idea. The only thing I can think of is the location. We typically turn onto Mission Street a half block after Piglet & Co - thereby missing an incredible restaurant. The food was incredible - we could have eaten everything on the menu. As we were heading to the Alamo for a movie, that was the only thing that constrained our food choices - how much could we eat in an hour. Definitely worth multiple visits in the future!!“

“Delicious garlic crab and noodles“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Both food and service was excellent!! Highly recommend going with the tasting menu. Every dish was cooked to perfection! The flavors blend so beautifully. 1601 Bar & Kitchen is my new favorite!“

“Going to bansang has been a topic of discussion between us for the past six months. I’m actually never getting over this meal

Mulwhe noodles were recommended by the waiter and they were the perfect first bite. I really enjoyed the spicy sauce and the banchan that they plopped on top. Normally not a fan of cold noodles but I ate this up

Uni scallop toast was phenomenal. Bread was soft on the inside and slightly crunchy on the outside, and the oceanic flavor from the uni, scallops, and seaweed puree was a nice punch in the face.

I liked the Korean twist on the steak tartare — Asian pear and sesame oil! It’s paired with seaweed which further brought out the flavors

Kimchi fried rice 😻😻😻 best dish. Best thing my mouth has ever experienced. So spicy, lots of meat, omg. Everyone deserves to eat this at least once in their life

I also loved the gochujang black cod. Incredibly tender and a bit sweet from the sauces

Miso marinated pork would’ve been even better if we weren’t on the verge of combustion. But regardless we still agreed that it was a really great dish for being the mid meat that is pork.

All the deserts were just wow. My fav was the pear sorbet 🍐“

“This was our first time for Burmese food. We tried the Balada, tea leaf salad, Valcano beef, string beans, prawns, mandalay chicken and rice.. It was all delicious! The staff was very friendly and great customer service.“

“I Love Purple Burritos!!!“

“My husband and I came across your Chestnut location this past weekend! What a wonderful find. The VERY nice gentleman that served us, the best dumplings - I highly recommend the Spicy Sichuan Wontons in Red Oil. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“What a fun airport hotel restaurant location! You're able to look right out on the airport, watching planes come and go. Service was absolutely impeccable. Cocktails were amazing -- creative and fun while being delicious and beautiful. (Only complaint is that the bar is upstairs and it can take some time to get a cocktail) Wine list is solid,with excellent choices at reasonable prices. Food was out of this world!! We had Shrimp Fried Rice, the Wagyu burger, and the Scallops. All were cooked perfectly and plated beautifully. We didn't leave a single crumb! Highly recommend eating here, even if you're not flying anywhere!!“

“What a great experience! I especially love the chicken Goyza, pork dim sum and the Xiao Long Bao. I can’t wait to go back! Chef Suz ATX“

“The food here is absolutely delicious - beautifully presented, fresh, interesting. The sushi burritos are great - but the rolls are really special, particularly the Toro Roll. And the beef potsticker are excellent! So thrilled to have this gem in the neighborhood.“

“muy buena comida, y muy buena atención muy recomendable,.“

“I love Yoma cafe, the food is amazing, great price, the owner is always so welcoming and nice to everyone.“

“Mashita Galbi Jjim, located on Polk Street in San Francisco, is a cozy Korean eatery known for its signature dish, the galbi jjim (braised short ribs). This dish, priced at $66, is a standout. It features tender short ribs served in a bubbling pot, accompanied by carrots, tteokbokki (Korean rice cakes), and a melted cheese topping caramelized with a blowtorch. It’s hearty and perfect for sharing, as one order easily feeds three to four people. The plump mandu (dumplings) are also recommended as a complementary side dish.

The atmosphere is informal, making it a great spot for casual dinners. However, the restaurant’s popularity can result in wait times, particularly during peak hours, such as evenings and weekends. Some patrons have noted slower service during busy periods but praised the staff's friendly demeanor despite being overwhelmed. The interior is compact but comfortable, with simple yet functional decor.

Mashita Galbi Jjim is praised for its authentic flavors and high-quality ingredients. Other menu options include pork tonkatsu and beef plates, but the galbi jjim remains the star. For those seeking a satisfying, shareable meal with bold Korean flavors, this restaurant is a solid choice. If planning to visit during dinner hours, arriving early or expecting a wait is advised.

While some diners have commented on service challenges during peak times, the generous portions and flavorful dishes make it a must-visit for fans of Korean cuisine.“

“Went here for the bottomless brunch ($22 for bottomless per person). The drinks were good and the food was good too (at least 3 vegan options — 10/10 RECOMMEND THE VEGAN FRENH TOAST!). Service was good initially but they became stingy and didnt even fill the carafe at the end. Overall good experience. They auto gratuity 20% and we tipped on top of that but something to keep in mind. The place itself is relatively small and quite busy so definitely recommend getting a reservation“

“Wow!! They SO deserve their 3 Michelin starts! The food was off the charts and so was the service. Sinead noticed I was left handed and switched everything to make it easier for me. I have NEVER experienced this before and I’ve been to many Michelin started restaurants. The sommelier was amazing - we had two bottles, a Sancerre and a Chablis, and they were both absolutely wonderful. The birthday cake was PHENOMENAL. I’m thankful to their amazing staff for making this a wonderful celebration. Thank you!!!! I personally LOVE the minimalistic decor. The music was perfect as well. Why go gaudy when you can be absolutely beautiful?!?! I’m so in favor of their decor. And heated toilet seats?! Love it!“

“My partner told me about this place after seeing buzz about it on TikTok. We both wanted to try it and so we dined in on a Friday night. The restaurant offers outdoor heated seating, but we opted for indoors since we brought our baby. Fortunately, the wait was not too long because it sure turned frigid fast.

As other reviewers mentioned the restaurant is quite cozy. They also have a communal high table. We were seated near the window with a high chair. We ordered the frozen beer, potstickers, chicken karaage, maguro bowl and mentai spaghetti for dinner. For dessert we had the apple tart and the Hokkaido cheesecake.

We loved the cheesecake and the spaghetti. While the other dishes were solid, the spaghetti and the cheesecake were the stars! Looking forward to coming back to try the champignon pasta.“

“What a fantastic spot in the financial district! We were staying in town for a wedding, and this was such a great spot close to our hotel. Patrick (the owner) and his team were all a 10/10! Can’t wait to return.“

“Very good vegetarian options and reasonable prices as well. I got the veg bao buns and the fried rice. The fried rice is really good and the bao buns are good with sauce.

Vegetarian options: There are a couple of vegetarian options on the menu.“

“Food is 🔥🔥🔥. Very flavorful and quick service!“

“I love Champa Garden. They serve authentic Lao (and Thai) food, including delicious papaya salad, larb (both of which you can get Lao or Thai style), and perfect sticky rice. The rice ball dish is also delectable! I'm looking forward to trying other dishes. And their prices are very reasonable!“

“A hidden gem. Really, really nice food, served fresh and piping hot. The veggies are nice and crisp, unlike so many places that serve soggy veggies. I love that the food isn't bathed in salt. The beef is tender and tastes like beef, not just salt and soy sauce. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. On top of that, the prices are shockingly low, especially considering the quality and size of the dishes. My new fave.“

“Great Food and Service will always come back when visiting San Francisco“

“Dropped in for late lunch. Quick service, great food.“

“Awesome tasting food highly recommend“

“There are many vegan options of Korean food on the menu which is usually hard to find. The staff is very knowledgeable of veganism and made sure to tell us what was being brought out was vegan. The food is also delicious! This will definitely be a go to“

“The food is very good, except for the tea salad. It wasn't what i expected & it appeared to be a little mushy! The waitstaff were very good and our other two dishes were great! The seats are a little uncomfortable. Overall, it was very good.“

“Huge portion, tasty food, interesting decor. Tried the rice chicken platter which comes with Thai style vinegar based soup and salad.It's a decent place. You will not be leaving this place hungry that's for sure. Give it a try ?? .“

“The food was a great mix of Latin and Cantonese flavors. It brought back many childhood memories of Chinese food in Northern Mexico while growing up. The owner was extremely warm and welcoming in sharing her cuisine that is from her home and heart.“

“Easily our favourite restaurant in San Francisco! We always bring our family and friends here. They have the most delicious, fresh and innovative dishes here. And their service is great! We love the pork chop, Cornish hen, and lamb roti. We love everything on the menu really. Highly recommend!“

“Tutto gluten free, cucina asiatica molto buona.“
