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!!“

“I ordered the Sichuan Spicy Beef, and it was really good. The soup was flavorful and spicy, and the beef was tender. I also liked the shredded tofu inside because it soaked up the soup very well. The portion was good for the price, and the food came out hot and fresh. I would definitely order it again.“

“Felt like I’d stepped into a time capsule when I walked in and got a large cup of boba milk tea for 2.99. Those are 2010 prices in 2026!! The drink itself was simple and not anything outstanding or gimmicky like those overpriced fancy boba drinks you might find elsewhere nowadays. But for 3 dollars, it was simple and tasted like childhood.

The store looks quite old and many of the displays are weathered, but I didn’t mind it a bit because it felt extremely nostalgic to me. The man who rang me up was also very friendly and I wish him all the best.“

“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". :-)“

“The front desk experience has been consistently frustrating.
The young lady there appears inattentive and unsure of the process. Even after joining the Yelp waitlist ahead of time, we're left standing without explanation for 5-10 minutes each visit until another staff member takes over and seats us.
The lack of coordination at the entrance gives the impression that no one is actually managing the line properly.
Fortunately, the rest of the staff are warm and professional, and the hot pot options are solid.“

“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.“

“Visited in 2021 without a reservation and was luckily seated at the bar. The bartender was very hospitable. 13-course is a lot, but it's nice that you can eat at your own pace and the lemonade with alc-free beer combo beats the fattiness of wagyu(it does literally melt in your mouth.)“

“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.“

“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.😊😊“

“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.“

“Bento boxes are of great quality here. The attention to detail of this curated meal definitely lets your eyes feast first. All the little sides taste amazing, especially the candied sweet potatoes. The vegetables alternate between sweet and salty to balance out the meal. The Scottish salmon and mackerel are cooked to perfection. The little yolk in the rice also adds a nice touch to mix in and eat.“

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

“When I’m in Whittier visiting my sister I always swing by for a bowl of Pho and spring rolls“

“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!“

“the restaurant is super clean. If you show up thinking you're going to order Orange chicken, Broccoli beef, kung pao chicken or any of that chinese fast food then this is not the place for you. BUT if you're looking for some delicious mouth watering dumplings cooked in various forms then you're at the CORRECT place. I brought my mom here and we tried the pork chive regular dumplings, the pan fried beef and cumin dumplings and the regular fried rice. All of it was delicious. Also they give you a complimentary bowl of egg drop corn soup. NOT a small bowl but a good size portion, it was GOOOOOD. I will definitely be back with the rest of the family and I want to try the beef noodle soup. DON'T fall asleep on the fried rice.“

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

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

“Buena comida y excelente ambiente“

Service: Place was clean, and the staff was kind and fast. Good location.

Good food will come back.“

“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!“

“Good food“

“I came here because the reviews were good. I was a little surprised to see some Chinese and Japanese-style dishes mixed into the menu, but the two Thai dishes we ordered were both absolutely delicious:) especially the Thai green curry!!

The service was very fast and friendly as well.

And the portion sizes are seriously huge… haha. Honestly, it’s hard to complain when they give you that much food 😃“

“I love coming here ,the service is amazing ,the old gentlemen that works there is always so lovely.And the food is always the same quality doesn't matter the day or time.I love their ramen and shrimp tempura.My boyfriend doesn't really eat ,but this man always finishes their sushi .

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

“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“

“Wow…Incredibly Heart Healthy…!
The grilled food smells so good from a block away…!
Service is Extremely Friendly & Genuine…!
The tip culture is not forced here but you’ll want to leave one anyway…!“

“I’m a huge pho fan and always ask for extra bean sprouts everywhere I go — but this is the first place that actually gave me a huge portion. The pho itself was absolutely delicious, and the price-to-quality ratio is amazing. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

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

“Nothing compares to the taste. I love the sukiyaki broth which I haven’t found in Las Vegas where i live… nice place, clean and polite and helpful servers. Food is awesome… the best“

“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!“

“Good food, portions & service...“

“We were hungry and after checking out the food court decided to find another restaurant, and this is just outside of the mall.
The chefs are cooking the Udon noodles in huge Pots and their style is the subway way 🥪 but noodle style.
We got the traditional beef and beef curry 🍜 with Gyoza.
The Udon was tender and chewy and the broth was not too light but had enough richness to it tastes so good. The curry was good and not too spicy, with the meat just hit the spot.
Plenty of seating inside plus outside seating as well.
Ran very efficiently cause during busy lunch Rush the customers went in n out so plenty seats available.“

“Try The Indo Fried Rice… You will love it😀“

“To be fair, I only gave 3 stars for the food because I had diarrhea after I got home. My wife was ok but she always had a stronger stomach. The food and drinks were actually very good. I like the decor and music and the service was above average. There are ample parking in the back.“

“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“
