38 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“

“I'm not breaking new ground here—the Peking Duck is incredible. But what's even better is the duck carcass: deep-fried, then sautéed with spices and Sichuan peppercorns. Absolutely off-the-charts delicious. That said, charging $15 extra for it feels a bit much.“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“Best Xiao Long Bao i’ve ever had in my life. The soup is flavourful without being heavy, or oily. The pork inside is generous and tender. The wrapper is clearly fresh and handmade with care. I got delivery so my expectations were low, i’ll be honest but holy… these were spectacular. 5/5. I’ve had all sorts of XLB through the city of SF all the way back to the east coast, i’ve had Din Tai Fung… and this place beats them all. I’ll be ordering again this weekend for sure.“

“A Taste of Señor Sisig

I was looking for a quick and small bite to eat for a late lunch/early dinner, and I stopped by Señor Sisig for the first time. A quick look at their menu and their tacos grabbed my attention. I opted for their tofu and chicken tacos. They come on a 6" corn tortilla with onions, lettuce, fresh jalapenos, and cilantro cream sauce.

The store is very small and towards the northern end of the Ferry Building. It has a few stools in the wide hallway in front of the store and a few tables outside facing the Bay. The staff was young and quick to take my order and turn it around, so I did not have to wait more than a few minutes. The tacos were spicy and tasty. I enjoyed them both and will likely return to try their burritos and other items.

Vegetarian options: Limited vegetarian options are available.“

“Solid 4 star restaurant. Came for brunch and had Lu Rou Fan, honey walnut shrimp toast, and pork cutlet pineapple bun sando. The Lu Rou Fan was our favorite - the combination of pork with soft scrambled eggs was a winner. The other two were good but could be a little too sweet or oily. The only issue was that we ordered too much for 2 people. Our waiter told us the shrimp toast was tiny, “just 2-3 bites” and that was a lie. They were quite big and we wished we didn’t order 3 dishes.“

“This place is a must-go for a delicious and modern take on Korean cuisine. We had 3 people sharing 6 plates for dinner (4 small and 2 large) which was just enough food for dinner. The cocktails were also all great and just the right balance of flavors. The dishes that stood out the most were the sunchoke & truffle, soy glazed potatoes, and the radish kimchi fried rice.“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 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!“

“Delicious garlic crab and noodles“

“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.“

“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!“

“Quail + Crane had surpassed our expectations. Starting with the view of the airplanes, arts and ambience of the hotel. Enjoying all that while eating our wonderful dinner. And Sean our server was all smiles while attending to our needs.
Thank you SFO Grand Hyatt. We will surely comeback and bring our friends and family to share with them our experience.“

“I Love Purple Burritos!!!“

“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.“

“Tropical Pancake: 10/10
- vegan (coconut-based)
- gluten free
- advertised as a take on mango sticky rice

Side of Potatoes: 10/10
- pan-fried
- crispy and crunchy
- not your ordinary potatoes!

Side of Bacon: 8/10
- crispy, as bacon should be

I came into the restaurant describing my dietary restrictions (no egg, no gluten, no dairy), and the host was very accommodating. He took his time going through the menu, and reassured me they could make alterations to other dishes to work for my restrictions. Overall a great experience, definitely coming again!“

“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!“

“Itadakimasu! Boy oh boy was this place amazing. Cozy vibe with Japanese comfort food to set the mood. The lunch set had everything I could’ve asked for in a meal. Greens, proteins, and some carbs to round out the meal. Spoiled myself with the royal milk tea iced and it did not disappoint. After a night out like yesterday, this was a much needed part of the recovery. Light 9.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I chose this spot for a girls’ brunch out I organized because it could accommodate a large group up to 10 people and the online reservation system through Toast was flexible, allowing me to make modifications leading up to and even during the week of our reservation date.

I’m very satisfied with this place as a brunch option. I prefer Asian fusion brunch to other brunch cuisines, so this place was ideal. Also, various members in my party, including myself, have dietary restrictions, but this place is allergy friendly and accommodates special diets as well, so there ended up being something for everyone, and everyone in my group liked the food.

One of my friends who’d been here before ordered the poached chicken porridge/congee. Out of everything on the menu, it sounded the best and seemed reasonably healthy, so I got that as well. It was delicious and reminded me of the congee I was served on a Singapore Airlines flight a couple years ago. While a bit pricey, the portion was large, so it was a decent value.

So far, this has been one of my better brunch experiences in SF and probably one of the only places I would return to.“

“Awesome tasting food highly recommend“

“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“

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

“Amazing flavors and presentation, efficient service. But letting entitled, shameless patrons bring dogs in the restaurant to whine and yap and disturb diners?? Management needs to train staff to stand up to the Karens, bounce dogs, and avoid heath code violations.“

“Very friendly service makes you feel so welcome. Nicely decorated restaurant. We had a hard time picking from all the great selection of dishes be decided to try the spring rolls, sesame chicken, basil, chicken, and steak wraps along with the Tea salad.  All were wonderfully prepared with very fresh ingredients. Enjoyed the meal very much. “

“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 ?? .“

“Great food and spirits 🍷🍷wonderful cabaret entertainment with beautiful women 🎵🎶“

“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!“

“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.“
