38 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants in San Francisco

“We loved our experience at Kothai Republic! The staff were lovely and gave great menu suggestions. All the food we tried was incredibly delicious. Seriously, every single one. Will definitely be recommending here to others and cannot wait to come back!“

“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 manager made certain the restaurant was still open for us as we could not arrive until 10:00pm from our flight.We quickly selected our appetizer and main courses. The food was brought quickly. It was very tasty and served hot. The waiter was very nice and quite attentive. Great place! It is rare for a restaurant in an airport to be so good.“

“I want to share my experience with Tycoon Kitchen. The food is really delicious. I come here 2–3 times a week, and it’s always good. The manager is very attentive and friendly. I also love that you can get your food to go and take it up to the park — it’s like having a little picnic in the middle of a workday.“

“I got the green refresher, SO soothing and delicious. Staff is really kind even on New Years Day busy all day! Thanks for the delicious food. I got that and a vegan masala bowl. Delicious and a lot of food for the price in that area. I love this spot. Highly recommend. No pics but whether you get vegan or meat/vegetarian you’re eating good here. 4 stars on atmosphere because it is nice and warm but somewhat small and basic. Still recommend. 🫶🏼. The food is also prepared healthily as they bake their fries. Quality ingredients and really good seasonings. Something for everyone. Go irl or on their site as they have specialty bowls etc that I didn’t see on DoorDash“

“Such great food and people. We were hungry driving around looking for that magical parking spot next to an acceptable eating spot bingo! We found it all at Gai. Unsure of what kinda of cuisine I said take the chance they’ve got a chicken on the sign so it’s actually food. And boy was it good. Delicious. Freshly prepared Asian Thai or Vietnamese food. I got the Original Chicken Rice bowl with side of broccali. My friend got the salad with Tofu. Both great. He sauces are fresh and flavorful. One is quite hot which I love. I recommend it. And as we sat there from 1:30 pm to 2:30, there were multiple to go orders being picked up. I think there were about 5 orders at a time rotating. Fresh Fast Full of Flavor. We hit the jackpot!“

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

“We came here for weekend lunch ayce shabu shabu, and it was fantastic!! Both the wagyu and Japanese pork are of great quality, and the special presentation for the meat just gave this meal an elevated touch. We also really enjoyed the small appetizer plates all of which were refreshing and well done. HH drink pricing was an excellent deal. Katie was very friendly and extremely thoughtful - this is our new go-to place!“

“Wonderful restaurant with many delicious options buffet style (shrimp salad and fried pork are especially good). Sadly it has been hounded by building management (which has unsuccessfully sued them multiple times to try to break the lease and redevelop the arcade) so it is great to support them.“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

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

“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 come to San Francisco for work often and Onigilly is the top choice to grab a nutritious lunch before heading to the airport. The food is reliably fresh and delicious, and the service is fast. I highly recommend their take out option, eg poke bowels, miso soup, prawns, yam and more.“

“The food was flavourful and the texture was just right. We ordered the Peking duck and soy chicken. Our kids loved the chicken with a side of steamed rice. The chef enjoys strong flavours and skillfully cut the chicken like butter in front of our table. The atmosphere is casual with an Asian-fusion trendy vibe.“

“Service was fast and efficient. Food was good.“

“There's an option to go fully vegan on the dishes they offer: tacos, burritos, bowls, etc. The tofu tacos had great toppings, but the tofu didn't have any seasoning, or marinade, not even salt; it seemed to have been seared is all. If this was a kitchen error I'll try them again, if not, then I thought they were bland, although the vegan option is 100% appreciated.“

“I just came home from Japantown. The lady that worked there was so nice! I think she is the owner. Service was fast. The food was acceptable. It is on the dollar store side of the mall, so I didn't have to fight the crowd over at the busy side, that is a plus.“

“It serves both traditional hot dessert soup like sesame n walnut and also cold fruity dessert . The mango tofu custard is my favourite. Not overly sweet but combined with lots of fresh mango slices. Yummy !!!“

“I ordered from uber eats, it was supposed to come with a free shrimp salad roll side, but I didn't get it. But I got everything else I paid for, so not a big deal. the red curry steak was very spicy for me but good. chicken also great too. would order again“

“Truly excellent food. Innovative (and dare I say, elevated) takes on traditional Cantonese and Taiwanese dishes. We particularly enjoyed the confit cabbage, honey walnut shrimp toast, turnip cake salad, and especially the porridge. The porridge was a concentrated blast of umami, unexpected but welcome. I hope they succeed and become an SF/Mission mainstay.

Also, I enjoyed the old Jackie Chan flicks playing above the bar.“

“If you want the freshest fish downtown has to offer.... go to Sanraku“

“Tasty“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 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!“

“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“

“5pm Saturday I got Mongolian beef, fish and bitter melon and pork chop and onion
The 3 item chef special
Hot fresh and meat moist absolutely delicious
She told me they have a new chef
Opens for dinner at 5pm
come get it“

“I was pleasantly surprised by this spot! We ordered the noodles and dumplings, and everything was delicious. We spent about $100 for 3 people (no drinks), which felt fair for the quality. The space is small and very clean—perfect for a casual meal or a small group. I’ll definitely be back! The cucumbers were my favorite!!“

“Lovely dinner at Prik Hom. Scallop & lemongrass appetizer & dessert (coconut pancakes & coconut ice cream) were by far my favorites. Mushroom curry soup was light and subtle. Seafood curry was rich & tasty, but did not love the texture of the stir fried shrimp. They were out of a few things like white rice and coconut water. Quiet atmosphere conducive to casual catchup with friends. Like another reviewer said, def worth trying at least once!“

“Spent 3 days in SF and in those 3 days had to come back multiple times to eat! My super picky girlfriend loved it and so did I. I had a delicious combination of flavors I had never had before. YOU HAVE TO TRY THE GARLIC BREAD. 10/10 reccomend this place.

P.S their staff if super friendly and nice!“

“Loved this place. Really enjoyed the food and the kindness of the workers. The meal is healthy, affordable, and filling. Most of the time I find that healthy food comes in very small portions and I don’t get full. And most fast food is super unhealthy. I’ll definitely be ordering again!“

“2nd time visitor. Food is exceptionally creative - both authentic and refined - hard to achieve! Also, thoughtfully presented. Kind and attentive service. A bit loud and hard to hold a conversation in the room - but not too bad. Desserts were less impressive but still good.“

“Previously my visit in 2019 was treasured as my favorite meal I've ever had until this recent visit, which is now the greatest meal I've ever had. I'm grateful for Chef Corey Lee and his endless pursuit for excellence in elevating and innovating Asian cuisine. I came in Dec 26th the day after Christmas to see Chef Lee standing in the middle of the kitchen during service in admiration of his dedication and the dishes that were presented were exactly what I think fine dining, Michelin starred restaurants, and farm to table restaurants should represent. Taking classic Asian flavors and dishes from many different countries while using the finest produce to make dishes that set a new reference point. Some dishes were so familiar to me, the cod reminded me of my Vietnamese mom's catfish that I grew up eating, and other dishes while not nostalgic had clear intent to paint a picture through immaculate flavors and presentation. The dessert course I had in 2019 left much to be desired but this time it left me in awe at how complete the tasting menu is. Thank you Benu for an unforgettable experience.“

“I go after school most days before walking home or volleyball games and practice, and I get the guava snow with oreo crumble, and it's really good.
The only thing that keeps me from giving them a 5 is the prices. Don't get me wrong about the inflation issue, but like some of the prices are unreasonable. They should lower it.
Go here if you have the money but the workers are really nice. Just go to Starbucks, it's more reasonable there.“

“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.“

“So delicious. Had the pork sheng jian bao, chili oil wonton and Chinese broccoli. Pork sheng jian baos were amazing, the soup was delicious, and the crispy bottom was a nice touch to the soup dumpling, something i don't see often. Chili oil wonton were delicious as well. Service was timely and friendly. I would definitely come back here again.

no wait on a Monday night right at opening time 5pm for dinner“

“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.“

“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.“

“Group of 4. Ordered several dishes and everything was delicious. The customer service was great, especially considering how busy it was during Super Bowl weekend but the staff handled the crowd like pros! Would definitely recommend this place. Make reservations, especially on popular weekends!“

“I absolutely love Saucy Asian! The food is incredibly delicious — every dish is packed with authentic Korean flavors and cooked to perfection. You can truly taste the quality and care in every bite.

The customer service is amazing. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. The restaurant is very clean and well organized, and ordering is always easy and smooth.

I always leave feeling happy and satisfied with what I paid for my meal. The portions, the flavor, and the overall experience are definitely worth it. I highly recommend Saucy Asian to anyone looking for delicious Korean food and great service!“
