43 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants in San Francisco

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 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 Thai food. We were so pleased to find a Thai restaurant where sweet is not a prominent profile in their food. We loved the sour pork, the banana blossom and squid, the eggplant, and the beef jungle curry - they were delicious and had so many little creative touches. The highlight of the meal for me was the smoked young coconut ice cream. So many nostalgic flavors that I have not had outside of Thailand. The Thai smoked candle flavor, the candied water palm fruit, the young rice syrup - just so special. Such a joy to be able to have this in San Francisco. Brought me back to precious moments in Thailand visiting family.“

“Our party of 4 pre-ordered a whole Peking duck. It did not disappoint. It was moist and tender. Not greasy as some I have had. It is served with crepes instead of the usual buns. We ate every piece! The miso sea bass was so moist and buttery! We totally agreed it was the best we've ever had! The garlic pea sprouts were cooked just right. For dessert we had the almond jello bunnies. So cute! Could have had more almond flavor but we all finished it anyways! Our server was pleasant and fun. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. Wish I could remember her name. Would definitely eat here again! Note: they have an 8% surcharge for employee whatever. Typical of SF restaurants.“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“The most scenic place to get your Filipino fusion food! They have multiple outlets in the City, but this one has the best views. They're in the back of the Ferry Building and have outdoor seating specifically for their restaurant. Kick back and enjoy a sisig burrito while checking out the Bay and ferries.

I always go for the sisig bowls which are super filling. My husband tried the Longanisa Chopped Cheese which came in a hoagie-like roll. It paired well with the Engkanto Beer. Service is quick, and they'll call your name so make sure to grab a prime seat on the Pier.“

“We dined in for a late lunch as a family of three. The yelp waitlist indicated a 10-20 minute wait and we were surprised to receive a text 5 minutes later.

Food came out hot and fresh. We ordered the Juicy Pork Bao, Pork Xiao Long Bao, Zha Jiang House Special Bean Paste with Mince Pork, Boiled Pork and Chive Dumplings and Fried Tofu.

While there is no separate kids menu, our thirteen month old loved his food so much that he stayed in his high chair for the duration of the meal.

Would highly recommend!“

“We came here for the first time to celebrate our anniversary, and I can’t recommend it enough. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and while the menu is on the smaller side, there were more dishes we wanted to try than we could order. The Honey Szechuan Chicken Wings are an absolute must, perfectly triple-fried, coated in a flavorful spice blend, and served with house-made ranch. The other dishes we had were just as fantastic: gravy noodles (our second favorite, so creamy), cheese bread, street corn, and pork neck. Each one was packed with flavor yet distinct from the others. We’ll definitely be back for more dinners as the seasonal items change, and brunch is already on our list. Can’t wait to return!“

“Good experience. Food was well prepared and delicious. We have been to quite a few Michelin star restaurants and one thing that was missing from this experience was that level service. Explaining the dish as it was presented, etc. great food though!“

“Delicious garlic crab and noodles“

“Saucy Asian is a flavor-packed gem in San Francisco! The Korean BBQ tacos are next-level, perfectly seasoned and full of bold flavors and the kimchi fried rice is a must-try. The sauces truly live up to the name, adding an amazing kick to every bite. The vibe is fun, the staff is super friendly, and portions are generous. If you’re craving creative, delicious Korean-inspired street food, this is the spot!“

“I Love Purple Burritos!!!“

“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!“

“We’re local and were looking for a spot with both vegan and non vegan options to have brunch when we stumbled upon Quail and Crane. We were initially bummed to discover at noon on a Saturday that there was no brunch, and breakfast ends at 11, but we were so impressed and delighted by the lunch options that we will definitely be back. It’s so hard to find vegan eggs, and I was able to get them on the incredible vegan fried rice dish, which I was thrilled about! And my partner loved his wings and spam fried rice. Service was excellent, ambiance was stunning, highly recommend.“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“I visited Mashita Galbi Jjim on a Sunday evening around 6 PM with a party of four, and to my surprise, there was no wait—we were seated right away. With only two staff members working the floor, the restaurant still managed a steady rhythm of service. The space itself is inviting, with a high ceiling that makes it feel airy, a clean bathroom (always a plus), and a generally cozy environment that sets the stage for a comfortable meal.

For food, we ordered two dishes: the pork tonkatsu and their signature galbi jjim. The tonkatsu arrived quickly, golden and crispy, delivering the kind of satisfying crunch and savory bite you’d expect from a well-executed cutlet. The galbi jjim, however, was a different story. It took about 30 minutes to reach our table, which seems to be the norm based on observing other tables. While the wait did build anticipation, it also disrupted the pacing of the meal. When it did arrive, the flavors were solid—rich, hearty, and braised with care—but not quite at the level of depth or complexity I’ve had elsewhere. Personally, I still prefer Daeho’s version, which leans more memorable in both flavor and overall experience.

Service was professional and efficient given the limited staff, though not particularly warm or engaging. It felt more functional than personal, but everything we needed was taken care of without issue.

In terms of ambiance, Mashita balances casual comfort with a slightly polished feel, making it a nice spot for a relaxed meal with friends or family.

Value-wise, the restaurant is fairly priced for the quality and portion sizes. While the food is solid and the dining experience smooth overall, I didn’t find it compelling enough to make this my go-to spot for galbi jjim.

Final verdict: 4/5. A reliable option with cozy ambiance and decent execution, but not quite distinctive enough to stand out in a city with strong competition.“

“No wait to sit down which is uncommon for dim sum in the area. Friendly and quick service despite being understaffed. They were out of quite a few items on the menu. The scallion oil noodles just tasted like soy sauce, I don't recommend those. I do recommend the bbq pork buns, string beans, and pork sheng jian bao. The last two are a must order!“

“Very clean and stylish interior. Excellent and fresh choices, very tasty. The best hot pot I’ve been to in San Francisco!“

“Amazing, me and friends alone driving in the roads at night. Hungry af went there and had amazing time and yes dinner was amazing. Had a time never to forge“

“Wow. Benu takes Asian cuisine to a whole new level. There are flavors from Chinese, Japanese and Korean food that is amazing. I am not a huge fan of quail, but wow. The quail presented was so delicious.

The small bites were perfect to get you in mood the for wonderful bigger plates. The vegetarian substitutions could have been a little more inspired, but still tasty.

I agree with decor. It is very minimalist, which is unexpected for find dining.

The staff were very very attentive. It was great. For the wine pairing though, they would be a little more generous so that the bites fit the drinks.“

“Total Score: 8.25

“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.“

“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.“

“Awesome tasting food highly recommend“

“I wouldn't say I venture out to the West Portal too often, but gems like Snow Bliss, definitely make it a compelling reason to!

They specialize in bingsu, but their menu is huge, offering everything from popcorn chicken, to rice plates and noodle soups. If you're in the mood for dim sum, they have that too!

I ordered the popcorn chicken, wonton noodle soup, and matcha bingsu. The popcorn chicken was notable because it's made Chinese salt and pepper style, which made it really fragrant and savory. Not many places do it this way, but I think they should! Wonton noodle soup was also pretty solid, and the matcha bingsu was refreshing. The chewy mochi made every bite delicious and I would definitely come back here for a full meal, or just for dessert!“

“Delicious meal with generous portions. Really love the salted fish dishes which reminds me of childhood home cooked meals. There’s a ton of options on the menu and dessert as well, and great value for the flavor and portion. I frequently return. Thanks Changs Kitchen“

“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!“

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

“I love this place. They’re always so kind,
While it’s super simple it’s pretty decent clean and definitely don’t go for the atmosphere so I just didn’t want them to have less than five stars cause they always are so kind and their food is always so good.:-)“

“Best roast pork around !!! For $12 are you kidding me ???“

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

“Love this local Korean spot close by to me. Very consistent in the food quality. Pretty spacious and does not get too loud.

I love to order the yukgaejang when I come here. The stew has glass noodles and also comes with bowl of signature purple rice. So delicious and a great deal. And of course there are fresh tasting banchan. I’ve asked for banchan refills before and the staff is friendly and will provide it free of charge. I always leave happy and full. I haven’t tried a lot of the other menu items so cannot provide input on that. Next time I should try the samgyetang.“

“My husband and I celebrated our post-wedding lunch at B Star. We rented out their beautiful patio in the back. Their team was so easy and incredible to work with (extra shout-out to Diane), and all of our guests raved about the drinks and the food. Highly recommend working with them for any events or special occasions!“

“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 fried rice here was amazingly delicious. There was only a 5-10 minute wait before I got my food and the cashier was a very friendly person. The overall ambiance of the place was excellent too for a takeout place. I give them 5 stars ⭐️. I highly recommend them“

“Tutto gluten free, cucina asiatica molto buona.“

“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.“

“The service was very good. The clerk greeted us warmly and recommended desserts to us. The milk pudding was very well done.
I ordered Hong Kong-style milk tea, black truffle prawn pasta, corn chips, sizzling beef rice, and typhoon shelter eggplant. Everything was delicious, the ingredients were fresh, and the food was served very quickly.
I saw many neighbors helping me. Very good tea restaurant.“

“I ordered the Drunken Noodle beef & Shrimp pad Thai
Drunken Noodle Beef is a solid 100/10
Just amazing. Best beef noddles I’ve had in a minute
Savory, delicious , amazing
, and looks great

Shrimp pad Thai is a solid 2/10
All u can taste is just spice not heat spice but just spice. And shrimp was like shredded chicken and like over done to the Max.
This place deserves 5 stars for the beef noodle alone.
I had a couple bites then had to share sorry.“

“Island vibes, soft lights, and the kind of calm that makes time slow down 🌺 Some moments feel better imagined with someone across the table 🌙“
