10 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants in San Mateo

“I just had a lovely family dinner at Rin Tei and could not be happier. My large party of kids and adults all loved their meals, and the servers were so kind and accommodating. I think it's best characterized as different Asian dishes (like pho and curries) but with a Japanese flair. The food is fresh and carefully prepared and not too heavy. We found the portions to be ample, especially the noodle soups. They also have an eclectic drink menu with Japanese craft beers. Rin-Tei is a little off the beaten path but you should seek it out!“

“A momo-centric review. We tried three of their chicken momos - Steamed, Jhol, and Chilli. The momos are delicious and generously filled for the stuffing. Tad bit expensive when compared to Everest Momo.

Outdoor seating is awesome for your four legged friend. Will come back again.“

“Hands down the best Korean fried barbecued chicken in the Bay Area! Banchan in San Mateo blew me away — perfectly crispy, juicy chicken with a rich glaze that hits all the right notes. The flavors are bold but balanced, and the sides (especially the pickled radish and kimchi) complement the meal beautifully. Service was fast and friendly, and the place was spotless. I’ve been craving it ever since. Highly recommend for anyone who loves Korean BBQ or just amazing fried chicken.“

“This place hits different, everything was so good. Couldn’t even name anything that wasn’t good. Loved the ribeye, pork belly and vermicelli with scallop. Had to order it again, just that good. Nice service and atmosphere, very nice music taste too!“

“The staff was so so helpful and accommodating with my baby and stroller. It's a tight space inside but they seated us in a very comfortable spot where I could park my stroller and they were all very kind (and adorable and silly with the baby). I'm very grateful!!“

“Delicious food, i ordered chef special vegan duck, so crispy and yummy, loved their bbq fried rice too, the service is awesome and they are very informative on the ingredients if it is vegan or not. 5 star for the food flavor and customer service as well.“

“This is the second time we have been here. We ordered so much food, which caused us to have a lot of leftover, but we wanted to try different plates we haven't tried the last time. I loved their, kare kare, their lumpia, their pork and chicken adobo, pinakbet with garlic rice. Yummy.“

“Great ramen!!! Fast and friendly service!“

“The poke here is pretty good and consistent. I’ve had it a couple times and it always comes out good.

I enjoy the salmon poke and usually get that. The toppings and arrangement of the bowl is nice too. I feel like the truffle part is a bit gimmicky but it doesn’t take away from it being a solid bowl.“

“Healthy, tasty, fresh poke with kind and respectful servers. 5 out of 5 recommend! I like this place.“
