50 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Santa Monica

“I loved my dining experience there! The decor is warm and special; the service, impeccable, and the food is beautifully presented and delicious. I recommend the lobster spring rolls, the calamari and shrimp salad, and the duck fried rice. If you really like lemongrass, then try the seared scallops!“

“Arrived near closing time but decided to try it. There was metered street parking a short distance from the place. Located in Santa Monica (Montana Ave.) it was small but cozy. The owner was welcoming as I entered. I ordered the shrimp & pork spring rolls and the Pho Ga (shredded chicken). Definitely a bit too much food but I was satisfied with everything. I would definitely stop by again to try their Banh Mi or Bowls.“

“McKayla made my visit to Sweet Maple genuinely memorable. Her bright smile and warm, welcoming personality set the tone the moment she approached the table. She was attentive without ever feeling rushed, and her positive energy elevated the entire experience. Exceptional service delivered with authenticity — McKayla is a true standout.“

“Beautifully designed space and fresh healthy ingredients! As a vegan I appreciate the yummy, healthy (not fried) tofu and all the veggie options! Easy pickup near my gym so will be back for sure on days when I’m too time crunched to cook! Ordered for pick up, it was ready very fast, but stayed to eat at the lovely tables by the windows. You could also sit outside on the nice street tables.“

“We were there opening day! It was great! Service was perfect and food was delicious. The gyoza's were the best, not dry, chewy, or doughy. The chicken and beef plate was perfect. Nice. clean interior. Best part? Walking distance from us. Welcome to the neighborhood!“

“Their spicy beef and leek soup was really not that good. That beef was super tough and the soup was incredibly spicy even after I’ve asked the man in the back for it to be little spicy as possible. Their other soup won gi tang was amazing, packed with plenty of beef and it wasn’t too salty. Their big soup plate won gi soo yook was really great too! The two servers in the front were super nice and the welcoming. Very nice atmosphere and we got seated right away and served with water.“

“I came here for the first time and it was absolutely beautiful inside and the prices are also very reasonable for the quality of the food. The sushi was soooo good and same with the wagyu gayoza.

I had a blast I would highly recommend this place!!! 10/10“

“We’ve been eating here for years, maybe 5 times a month. The service is friendly and quick. The food is delicious. I almost always get one of the ramens (I have five is six favorites) and they build the flavors carefully. I’d seriously say the whole operation is top notch. We tend to get there a bit before the rush so almost never have to wait for a table. I’ve tried my wife’s choices, (fried chicken, gyoza, green beans w/garlic, etc.) and I promise you the whole menu is terrific.“

“Food was very good. The ingredients were all fresh and tasty. Service was great!“

“If you are looking for a culinary experience that borders on the orgasmic, look no further. I custom-designed a salmon poke bowl that was, quite simply, pure ecstasy. The salmon is so buttery and fresh it doesn't just eat—it melts in your mouth, leaving you craving the next bite before you’ve even finished the first. And the sauces? They absolutely light me up, sets my palate on fire in the best way possible. This isn't just a meal; it's a deep, flavorful seduction. If you want a taste that truly hits the spot, this is the only place to go.“

“Best Korean food around! The bulgogi tacos were a 100/10—absolutely delicious. And the dumplings? Don’t even get me started… they were fire! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and packed with taste. On top of that, they had the best music playing, which made the whole experience even better. Great food, great vibes, and great service. Highly recommend!“

“We were just passing through Los Angeles and decided to celebrate my husband’s birthday at Wallflower on a whim. We had no reservation, but were warmly welcomed and given a lovely table beneath the disco ball, which made the evening feel even more special.

Every dish was delicious. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but the quality, atmosphere, and overall experience made it well worth it.

Thank you for turning a spontaneous stop into one of our favorite memories from LA. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Food was amazing! We got papaya salad, Tom Yum seafood, Pad Kee mao, green curry, and mango sticky rice and they were all good. Be careful asking for the spicier levels because they make it actually spicy. It's ~10 min walk away from Beverly Center“

“We stopped by the Second Wind in El Segundo right by LAX, after hearing about it from some friends (who actually work at LAX). I gotta say it's a solid spot. It looks relatively new and the interior is very cool with anime and pop art stuff. The bar is connected to both inside and outside areas which is nice. We tried: Bulgogi Alfredo Pasta, Sriracha Hot Honey Wings, Flaming Wagyu, Snow Crab Avocajete Dip. I loved the snow crab dip. Its like a avocado dip but add snow crab and some Asian flavorings. Really enjoyed it. The flaming wagyu was also very good, and liked how they torch it table side for you. The bulgogi pasta was good too, and really captures the Asian fusion aesthetic here. They actually have a coffee/boba place located right inside the restaurant which is convenient to get some sweets after. Overall, we enjoyed it and plan on coming back to try some other items.“
