50 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near San Gabriel

“Place is awesome!! Our waiter Peter gave us some great recommendations, made us feel really welcomed and remembered us on our second visit a month later. Great neighborhood “goto” place a good meal and drinks!!“

“We have been eating in this restaurant for a while. They have new menus regularly. This time, we try the Sichuan Spicy Beef (川味香辣安格斯肥牛）. It’s better than what I expected. It look cold but it’s actually warm inside. Spice at an optimal level for us.
Their services are good as usual. Polite and better than some of other Asian restaurants.“

“I googled "best Chinese in LA" and then this popped up as the #1 place. So we drove - and had a very good meal. However, if you expect the classic Chinese dishes, you will be disappointed. This is Shezuan, "a different animal". So no rice, no sweet-and-sour-this-and-that. So be prepared for very spicy Szechuan food. Noodles. No rice. Try the dumplings, they were delicious. We ordered mild (1 out of 5 spice degrees) and we were burning inside (we had two separate orders of dumplings - but spice grade 1. There is no consistency, so be careful). So if spicy is what you are "in" for, you'll love it. The ambiance is sort of authentic ;-) - the sign on how to use the toilet (outside the restaurant in the alley) says more than words. But then, it was $100 all-in for the four of us only. My advice: I could barely understand the service language. Better check the menu before you go. As we were first-timers, I wanted to share three starters and three mains among the four of us and leave it up to the waitress to make us explore - she did not understand. I asked if they served beer. The answer was "noodles or dumplings". :-)“

“This place was fantastic 👏🏻 👌🏻. The food was fresh and delicious, and the fresh hot pot 😋 was a treat. Not to mention, I had an invaluable assistant. I had the chicken, beef, and vegetables, and my date had her delicious pork and vegetables dinner.“

“Man, this place takes me back to high school, back when Quickly locations were plentiful and it was easy to get a boba drink and popcorn chicken for under $10. Happy to find that things haven't changed at this spot!

There's very little parking in the plaza, so if you're lucky, you'll get one of the two spots up front designated for Quickly. Otherwise, find a spot off street parking. It's also still to go inside, so no hanging about with your food and drink. Cash only and no bills larger than $20.

We ordered popcorn chicken ($5.90, listed on their menu as fried chicken), regular size almond milk tea at 50% sweet with boba ($2.50 plus 75 cents for boba), and large size jasmine milk tea at 50% sweet with boba ($2.50 plus 75 cents for boba and 50 cents for larger size). Since the drinks were at 50% sweet, they were slightly watered down. Still good though! Boba was soft and chewy.

The real star was the popcorn chicken! It wasn't fatty nor tendon-y like other boba shops we've ordered at. It was crisp and hot and a great value at a price we don't see anymore. I think we've found our go-to popcorn chicken place!“

“Delicious! My friend took me here and I had to come back. They have delicious pho and bun bo hue. Their menu is simple and easy to read. Delicious and filling. The service is quality and caring. There is plenty of parking and bathroom available.“

“Located inside Sheraton hotel next to the bar area. We tried seafood tasting menu. Food was good but nothing to rave about. Most of the dishes used crab meat for the main or for garnishment: It was overdone. Service was good, nice ambiance although lights were turned off in some part of the restaurant.“

“The staff is great and friendly. The food is delicious!“

“Excellent service, great food, too bad there wasn't extra room in the parking area.😊😊“

“Food was absolutely delicious! Jonathan was an exceptional - guided us through the menu.“

“Amazing food. Plate licking sauces, organic,locally sourced food. Korean fusion. Did I mention organic pickled everything. Enzyme rich food. Beyond healthy. Humble little hope in the wall run by a husband and wife team. Dude went to Korea to study with the most famous vegan nun chef in Korea. A must go to for anyone who loves food and especially loves fusion with organic and very well priced. He should charge Much more but they don’t.“

“I really want to give it five stars and I may come again in the future. The food is great, to be honest, the pork shoulder and mushroom rice is enough.“

“Amazing place. A real gem and great find. The mackerel bento tier 2 was amazing. The fish was butter and crispy. All the vegetables were so tasty too. The area it’s in is a bit rough, but this place is worth it. The inside is decorated nicely and it’s a nice atmosphere. The staff was nice and the even gave us cute holiday cookies. Can’t wait to visit again“

“food is amazing and staff is top-notch“

“Delicious food. Fast service. Get here early to avoid a long line.“

“I’ve had Orange Chicken all over SoCal and Arizona, and most times its just sugary and forgettable. The Chicken Bowel is 🔥✨️🍜✨️
Panda can't even touch this place...

The first bite hit with a real orange punch — bright, sweet, slightly tangy, and balanced. 🍊✨ Crispy chicken, perfect glaze, no soggy nonsense. Just crunch and flavor working together. 🤌🔥

The bed of white rice was perfect. 🍚 It let that citrus shine instead of competing with it. Every bite was clean, bold, intentional. D-lish

Portion was solid… but leftovers never stood a chance. 😤

The location is low key, but damn bro! Friendly staff. Fair price. ✅

If you're an orange chicken fan - this place hits different!

“Delicious & authentic Cantonese and Vietnamese cuisine! Everything was so fresh and well prepared. Service was spectacular!“

“Nice romantic atmosphere which you can actually hear others talk to you. Deep fried whole catfish is a spectacular dish! Great attentive service by staff.“

“First time. Food was awesome. The salad dressing was missing, not sure if I ordered incorrectly but I recall choosing ranch and asian. Also not clear with the teriyaki on the side that it's extra, I was hoping to add my own, but the amount of sauce was not overdone and the extra helped. Thank you! Shall return to try other menu items!“

“Excellent place. We tried the crispy rice, rattle snake roll, and sunset roll. Everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. The service is great, and the restaurant has a nice dining area with large TVs. Lots of parking, which is always a plus.“

“Excellent Filipino fusion food.“

“Its open and they really made sure its safe , service and food perfect . Happy days“

“Had a great meal here before a show at the Paramount. My husband had fajitas and I had the potato dish with added rosemary potatoes 🤩. I couldn’t finish mine - very filling but absolutely delicious. The proprietor is welcoming and helpful. We will definitely return and I will make more sensible choices!“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Akai Asian: A Must-Try 5-Star Experience!
​[Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by a self-made professional food critic reviewer!]
​From the moment I stepped into Akai Asian, I knew I was in for a treat. The warm, inviting ambiance and the sight of happy, cordial diners immediately set a fantastic mood. I felt genuinely welcomed by the staff, who guided me through their extensive menu—and wow, was I blown away by the selection!
​For my first visit, I ordered the Chicken Bento Box, and it was easily a 5-star dish. It was a well-balanced masterpiece!
​The box featured a delightful salad with corn, which was perfectly topped with a nice sesame seed oil dressing—it was incredibly savory and very tasty. It also included four delicious California rolls. Alongside these were some fried veggies and fried shrimp. They were very pleasant; not overwhelmingly greasy or heavy, but perfectly fried right to the bite. Lastly, the star was the delicious chicken served on top of fresh veggies and rice. Everything was perfectly prepared, showcasing the high quality and fresh flavors of Asian cuisine.
​Akai Asian is a delightful setting with stellar service and truly exceptional food. I highly recommend it!“

“Highly recommend! We live a half hour away from this dumpling house, and were in the neighborhood to get our car serviced. We decided to have lunch here and it’s extremely tasty! Everything was very good. We will definitely come back for more, even if we have to drive a half hour ☺️.“

“Great rolls. Big selection.... fresh.“

“I had a chance to try this sushi on sunday at the Mar Vista Farmers Market. I got the vegan shiitake rolls, and It was delicious, and the owner is very friendly. I wish all the best to such a business because she makes everything of fresh and high-quality ingredients. Just wanted to mention here that this is not a regular restaurant with regular address, so go to their @ganchic Instagram for more information where you can find their goodies!“

“First time eating there. My granddaughter took me out to lunch and I will for sure go back!“

“Well, love at first sight on their packaging!!! They do the business seriously here 👏

The chicken katsu was juicy, tofu katsu was good. Chicken sando was delish. If anything to improve, they could offer hot sauce/some chili powder(togarashi). Sit outside get the view“

“Its a must try experience. Everything is made on the spot.
You can taste how fresh and authentic every bite is. Nothing is rushed, flavors and textures are perfect.
Customer service is exceptional and the ambient is a chill ambient that allows you to talk with some background music without it being over bearing.
10/10 will come back.“

“Never had pokē before, it was really good. Very friendly staff.“

“The Pho is really good and big portion!! The broth is soo good and delicious! I ordered the Pho and spring rolls!! The spring rolls taste really delicious especially the peanut sauce!! Overall, this is a good place to get Pho with a big portion but not too expensive. Definitely gonna go back again:)“

“Very good food. Clean and fast service.“

“The best items we got here were definitely the dumplings, which are like soup dumplings, and the crispy pork buns which also had plenty of broth inside. I thought those were super unique, never had something like that before and I really enjoyed the crispiness of the bun. We also got the popcorn chicken which was fine, but a little bit oily and heavy to me, while the pork soup was very light and tasted very clean. Would definitely come here again, truly enjoyed the meal and it was uniquely Taiwanese.“

“I had a great experience at this restaurant! The food was fresh and flavorful, it was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were high quality, and everything tasted clean and well-prepared.

The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was fast even during busy hours. The restaurant was also very clean and well organized, which made the whole dining experience even better.

I would definitely come back again and recommend this place to anyone looking for a tasty and enjoyable meal!“

“Esta muy rico y muy saludable“

“Good quality always. I have been there a few times back in 2023 and 2024. The tastes and quality never changed. Very nice service and environment. Seems like that could serve up to party of 8. But may need to wait during peak hours. Very convenient for a workday lunch if you work nearby.“

“I love coming to this WaBa! They’re always consistent with the quality of food they provide and their customer service is amazing. Chris, is always welcoming and puts a smile on your face! Definitely recommend this WaBa to anyone in the community. 10/10“

“Visited Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle for the first time this weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The restaurant is located in the plaza on the corner of Atlantic and Garvey, with plenty of parking.

The menu is simple and straight forward. You start by choosing the desired soup base (bone broth, tomato, hot & sour, spicy) and then the protein offered under your desired soup base. If you wish to order additional toppings; there is a list of add-on you can pick from. The restaurant gives you the option to order using the QR code taped on the table or with the staff member. Soon after placing the order, they bring out the toppings to the dish, which consists of your desired meat, lettuce, generous portion of rice noodles, tofu, ham, green onion, seaweed, wood ear mushroom, corn, egg, etc. Lastly the soup base is served and you add the add all the toppings to your soup.

I ordered the tomato soup with sliced brisket; love the strong tomato flavor in the broth. If you are a tomato lover, this is the soup base to order.

Will definitely be coming back to try the other soup bases.“
