11 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants in San Mateo

“Tucked slightly away from downtown San Mateo in a little strip mall is the most delightful Japanese-Thai-Vietnamese fusion place. When I walked in, I really felt like I was transported to Tokyo. The decor is modern minimalist and the service is warm Japanese hospitality.

There aren't many tables but at lunch on a random weekday, it was almost full. There is only one server and two chefs so it does take a little long to get your food. I had the soy milk mentaiko noodles. It was so delicious. I love milky broths.

Definitely want to come back and try the other dishes.“

“Surprisingly, the Nepali food is excellent and worth trying in town! ?
I've wanted to try it for a while, and I finally visited. All the food was delicious and the service was also excellent. The outside table was cute and had a heater in the chilly afternoon.
We tried Chicken Momo Steamed, Vegetarian Momo deep-fried, Lamb Biryani ?️, Garlic tikka french fries, Butter Chicken curry, Roti, and Mango Lasasie. Everything was good ?? Biryani was too spicy for me.
My favorite was chicken mono and butter chicken curry. I should come back again!“

“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!“

“Great place to stop by for wings, but honestly I have had better. The wings are good and they even gave us 3 extra wings, but the store seemed kinda crusty and few people were there and peak lunch time… I would next time probably take out instead“

“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!!“

“Solid vegan Thai place with prompt service. I tried a number of dishes during several visits: curry with pineapple and duck, Thai basil, volcanic beef, Tom yum, gingerly ginger and a few others. Out of these volcanic beef did not really impress but it can also be my taste. Really good option if you are in the area. Meat eaters should also be happy based on my feedback I got from my company“

“For those with gluten intolerance, this takeout place is a gem. They offer a wide selection of gluten-free options, and take the necessary precautions to ensure your safety. Although it may not appear busy, the food is simply scrumptious. It's definitely worth a visit. So, if you're looking for a place to dine out without worrying about gluten, this is an excellent choice.“

“Avenida was an elusive restaurant for us to visit since the wait times are so long ! We got lucky and got seated with no reservations within 5 minutes on a saturday evening. Truly lucky.

It was with much anticipation that we got to finally taste the food here. The food didn’t quite meet expectations but it was still very good. My favorite dish was the Shrimp Gambas. There was happy hour on the weeknd’s, so we got the dish for a great price !

Overall, the staff was great. I had a fun time here. The inside was very beautiful, and the underrated it for the holidays.“

“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.“
