47 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near San Pablo

“Fast and convenient restaurant with a simple menu. The prices are reasonable and the portions are large. I usually always get the salt and pepper fish. Parking is limited in front of the store so best to park up hill near the other stores. Take out only.“

“Located on the Bay Street Plaza in Emeryville, on the second floor next to Barnes and Nobles. Saucy Asian is a Korean fusion restaurant. It’s a trendy place and is pretty busy all the way to closing time. We came in today after shopping at the new Tokyo Central across the street for a late dinner. We ordered at 7:58pm and did not receive our food until 8:26pm which was quite long wait for what we ordered. There is some indoor seating as well as outdoor seating.

As for food we ordered:
- Saucy Asian Bowl
- Saucy Asian Fries
- Island Style Poke Bowl (combo: half tuna/half Salmon)

All the food were good, have no complaints, but have had better elsewhere. Overall, if we’re in the mood for their food, we would come back.“

“My food was absolutely amazing I’m from Rochester New York“

“Tigon is excellent, above par, a hidden gem on San Pablo. I've probably been here 5-6 times now with my fiance. She gets the same thing every time: Catfish Sweet and Sour Soup and she swears it gets better every single time. On the other hand, I try something new every time because each dish I've had has been better than the last. Catfish Claypot, Pho, and Papaya Salad are all big hitters.“

“The vegetarian food was great! Love the potatoes from Szechuan!“

“I had a belly burrito add shrimp✊🏽💯 it was🔥🔥couldnt finish it #fakefatguy nowadays😅socially distant👍🏽in door seating as well as outdoor great food gud service #getchusum“

“I saw the ratings and didn't know what to expect. Brought my family here to avoid the Berkely Parents' Weekend crowds. I was so pleasantly surprised the quality of the food and service. The roti is so fresh - perfectly crispy and chewy. The spices on the food and house coconut dipping sauce offered so much flavor - we were all blown away. Our kids loved the Thai Tea. Accomodates vegan taste buds and all other dietary preferences.“

“The char siu pork is incredibly tender. The cold noodles with peanut sauce and chili oil had plenty of sauce and were perfectly cooked. The bbq brisket noodles with soup was delicious, the broth was amazing and the meat and noodles were also cooked perfectly. The staff was working tirelessly and were very accommodating. Highly recommend!“

“While they're known for their matcha smoothies, they also have some great food options such as their pork belly rice and their croffle sandwiches.

Note that the food can take a while to make as most people order drinks, but it is prepared with much care.

There are a few dining tables inside, but there are also picnic benches outside. Ordering is done on a kiosk and they provide trays for the compostable tableware.“

“Fresh, innovative ingredients and flavor pairings led to my very happy tummy. Generous portions too!“

“Atmosphere, customer service, prices and the freaking food is amazing 😍. Highest rated casual dining from Hayward to Vallejo! For good reason! This is a must if in the area. We will be back!“

“The food was soo delicious!! 10/10 recommend the Yellow Curry with Chicken. Gorgeous ambiance and amazing service. The Thai tea was also delicious. My first time here and would definitely recommend this place. Great price too! The Curry comes with rice also!“

“Fantastic food and amazing service!!“

“Their onigiri is really good! I’m not always in the mood for spam, but they have plenty of options without spam too, and I haven’t had anything I haven’t liked yet. They partner with several delivery services and their food always is packed well and is ready quickly for the drivers. Definitely recommend!“

“Such a special gem of a place! Perfect for group dinners too (make reservations!)- we celebrated the lunar new year with a vegan Chinese new year dinner here in their cozy dining room with such good vibes, and unique authentic dishes like lotus root and lychee in the sweet & sour seitan dish 🤯

It’s big enough to have a large group table (we had 12) and quiet enough to feel like you’re all celebrating together. This is very hard to find in the bay!

Grateful this place exists, bringing such good vibes and animal love to Oakland ♥️“

“My cousin and I went for dinner at 530 on a Wednesay and glad we did because we missed a big group that filled that filled the restaurant. Soy & Garlic chicken was great and the noodle dish was also delicious. I will return to try the other chicken flavor. We recommend this place. Small seating so good early.“

“meal and the roti for sure will be going back“

“Great experience at MUMU Hot Pot in Emeryville! The quality of the meat was excellent—very fresh, nicely marbled, and perfect for hot pot and grilling. The broth was flavorful, and the dipping sauces were well-balanced. Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was clean and comfortable. Definitely a great spot for a satisfying hot pot meal in the Bay Area. Will be back again!“

“service and quality are top notch“

“I was hesitant to come back after I had a bad experience a year ago before they rebranded; which a lot of the older reviews reflect. VERY happy to say that they've improved significantly, I got the five spice chicken with an iced coffee and both are fantastic. Meat tastes great and the bread is perfect. Worth giving them another shot if you started avoiding this place like I did before.
Friendly staff too.“

“Will miss the place“

“Super super pho is my go-to Vietnamese spot in Berkeley/Emeryville. And so reasonably priced.

I always get the original banh no with the pate. Soo good with the freshnwss of the herbs and acidity and sweetness of the pickled carrots and diakon.

The beef pho with 3 kinds of beef is warm and hearty. Their broth is clear and so flavorful.

Will be back again and again.“

“One of the best sushi spot in the bay. The food just feels and tastes fresh. Portions are nice and flavors are there. The sashimi is amazing, the specialty rolls are all really well done. You can tell they care about their craft. Ive had delivery and the food is still amazing. You know delivery sometimes reduces the quality of the food.“

“I rarely eat in here, but when I do I enjoy the atmosphere and service. Much more frequently, I do take out, and it is always great. The ingredients taste fresh and perfectly seasoned, and it is always on time. HB is probably my favorite spot for take out in Oakland.“

“Loved the food, I got the prime rib steak teriyaki and the mango ice cream. Service was great and waitresses were very friendly. Atmosphere was great, I love the light fixtures. Music was a little loud, though. I’d prefer jazz or an instrumental track over lyrical music.“

“I got the gan-jang beef bowl for $16.53 after tax. I think the beef flavor was good, but the beef texture itself was inconsistent. There were tender/fatty portions, but parts of the beef were quite tough & hard to chew. It came with a soft boiled egg, rice, sesame, and seaweed flakes.

They charge $2.50 extra for kimchi. I feel like if you order the meal without kimchi, it lacks veggies & something to help you finish the rice. If you were to compare that experience to sit-down korean restaurants with free kimchi/banchan, it’s stingier. I would feel better paying this price if it came with kimchi, which seems like a necessary part of the meal.

The owner was nice enough to offer me extra beef/free kimchi as a one-time service, and I took him up on that.“

“Food is great ! Service is so so . They did forget a dish and were a bit slow even after the happy hour rush ended . They brought the bill before asking whether we wanted dessert ( we did ) this time and the last time we came . Still I’d go back as the food is too good!“

“Yummy Chinese food! Potstickers are made fresh

Vegetarian options: vegetarian options available

Dietary restrictions: vegetarian options available, but it is an asian restaurant so dont expect a whole bunch of options for dietary restrictions like Kosher, vegan, nut free etc

Parking: located on the corner of a street, a couple of parking spots available

Kid-friendliness: kid friendly but a lot of spicy dishes

Wheelchair accessibility: not wheelchair accessible, need to go up stairs“

“If you’re looking for a great spot to grab Chinese food in Richmond, V8 Kitchen on Macdonald Ave is definitely worth checking out. My wife and I found this place on Google Maps while looking for something new to try—and we’re glad we did! The photos and menu looked promising, and we were in the mood for a good lunch date.

As soon as we walked in, the lady who took our order greeted us with a warm welcome and helped us feel right at home. She was quick, polite, and made the whole experience feel personal. The place had a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, perfect for a casual and relaxing couple’s lunch.

The food? Excellent. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. You can tell they put care into their dishes, and it shows in the taste. The prices were also really fair for the quality and portion size.

All around, this was a great little food adventure for us. If you're local or just passing through Richmond and want good Chinese food with kind service and a calm vibe, V8 Kitchen is a nice choice.“

“Very clean, excellent menu with very creative rolls. The nigiri 🍣 sushi is fresh and the best I’ve had to date. Personable, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Japanese beers are on point, cold and priced right. This a “locals favorite” which feels very welcoming and the freshness will be bringing me back. Cheers!“

“Food was fresh! Service was great. The tables were clean!“

“A good place to taste Korean and Japanese cuisine with a twist.“

“Food was great and drinks was great.“

“Amazing food and service. Ambiance on point as well“

“On campus and easy eats. They’re quick and the food is good. The chicken is real rotisserie. I got the Japanese curry chicken and rice. Seating does get crowded with all the students around but is not impossible to find. You might just need to go outside“

“Used to go here when the original owners were there. New owners now food is still good. Little different cooking style. But the items that I have ordered were good. I always take my food to go since I live pretty close by. Still exploring the menu. Haven't been disappointed yet.“

“Ordered the vegetable red curry on DoorDash and they did not disappoint. Got it extra spicy and I baked up some shrimps to go with it. Enjoyed it so much I had to go to the restraunt in person and was surprised to see the artwork and functshway was so in line with what a trip to Thailand feels like that I ended up ordering two mojitos while I sat their thinking of the great time I had in Thailand.“

“Bua Luang is hands down the BEST Thai restaurant in the entire Bay Area, not just in Albany! I have been enjoying Thai cuisine all around the Bay for over 25 years. My family and I have Thai food at least 2-3 times a week, so we have tried many (and I mean MANY) Thai restaurants over the decades, and without a doubt we all agree that Bua Luang offers the freshest, tastiest, and most delicately prepared Thai cuisine of all. Every dish is packed with the freshest ingredients. The flavors and textures are amazing. Restaurants in Thailand don’t make a Pad Thai as delicious as the Pad Thai at Bua Luang—believe us, we have tried Pad Thai all over Thailand and we still longed for the Pad Thai at Bua Luang. The chef at this restaurant is a culinary master!

Not only are the dishes at this restaurant superb, the atmosphere is serene and delightful. The indoor space is clean, cozy, and modern with soft old-world touches and whimsical lighting. The ambiance music is very pleasant. It’s not too loud, and it’s easy to talk with and hear others in your party. If you choose to dine outside, you are greeted by the most beautiful outdoor seating area on all of Solano Avenue. The space is gorgeous and inviting. And then there is the staff: always friendly and attentive. They provide a truly exceptional dining experience all around.

This restaurant is an absolute gem. If I could give it more stars I would. Don’t walk, run to this spot!“

“Great service! Food was tasty. We had the XLB soup dumpling combination sampler (which were good but small), grandma's pot stickers (which were missing the crispy edges), Mongolian beef (good), and garlic pea shoots (delicious). Nice atmosphere.“

“We discovered Dumpling Time recently, and we are absolutely in love with the restaurant! Their dumplings and gyoza are absolutely delicious. In addition, the visual presentation of each dish is gorgeous. Jaime serves us every time we visit, and he's very nice and he always provides exceptional service! Overall, we give Dumpling Time a five star rating and HIGHLY recommend! 👍🏼🙂“

“First time trying Burmese food and it was delicious. The staff was so friendly and suggested great items. Will definitely be back.“

“Good portions and friendly staff. Love the atmosphere and college town feel.“

“Came here on a Wednesday for their 98 cent wings. Note that you have to buy in multiples of 10, even though the sign says 10 pieces minimum. The people working here were very nice, but the food was a bit disappointing. The wings were covered in oil, which really distracted from any flavor they had. I probably wouldn't come back here.“

“A good place to taste Korean and Japanese cuisine with a twist.“

“Last night my husband, son and I went for dinner and, hands-down, it was fantastic! The restaurant is stylish and modern, the staff is super friendly and knowledgable and the food is delicious. You MUST try this place!“
