36 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Solana Beach

“I was staying in a VRBO near here and had eaten at all the recommended restaurants the past several days. I came here just to grab something for a late lunch and it was the best food I've had my entire trip. I've been to this area several times and I can't recommend it enough!“

“Really wonderful place, sushi and everything was very good. Calamari was a nice light fry. TNT roll was very nice. Character buns were fun and tasty, although in hindsight the Nutella bunny wasn’t as tasty as the other options. Overall great place would go again. One thing to note about this very cool location is you can hear the sea lions, and if the wind blows the wrong direction you may smell the sea lions briefly, so if you are sensitive to that eating inside may be preferred. Their outdoor seating in lovely though and they have heaters so it was still a very nice place to sit“

“Great dining experience for hot pot.“

“This is going to be my poke spot. The portion was so generous. I don’t know what mammoth size poke bowl people are used to but I was stuffed after getting a regular. The fish, the avocado - everything was so fresh. The server recommended the eel sauce which was so umami and delicious.“

“My friends and I had a great time spending an evening at Sago last weekend! The food was absolutely incredible and the atmosphere was super fun. Our hostess Isabella was so kind and helpful and the servers were all great! We will definitely be back soon!“

“I had a great time over there. Delicious food 🥘“

“Here’s your updated, Google-ready review with that added in:

⸻

Went here with my other half around 5:30–6 PM on a Sunday and had a really solid experience. Took advantage of their happy hour and grabbed a beer 🍺—great deal.

We didn’t order too much since we had an event after, but we tried the soon dubu soup, honey jam wings, and some rice on the side. The wings were the clear standout—easily one of the top three wings I’ll remember 🔥 Super crispy even with the sauce, great smoky flavor from the peppers, good size, and the batter-to-meat ratio was spot on. Everything was cooked perfectly.

The soondubu was excellent as well—perfect portion size, well-balanced, not too spicy, not too heavy, and served at just the right temperature with a really clean, flavorful broth 👌

The space has plenty of seating whether you’re going as a couple or with a group. The service felt small-scale and homey, which made it really comfortable. Our waitress was friendly and patient, and the overall vibe felt very family-oriented.

You can tell it’s a popular spot too—steady flow of dine-in, takeout, and delivery orders. Location-wise, it’s tucked behind the UTC area with plenty of parking and not much traffic, which makes it easy to get in and out.

If you’re looking for a casual weekend food stop or a quick lunch or dinner bite, this is definitely worth checking out. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu 👍“

“Delicious options for vegans, nice customer service, outdoor dining 👍🏻“

“The food was delicious I recommend it everyone.... FrIendly waiter u can see them making the food I enjoyed it.. I’m coming to eat..“

“This place is absolutely amazing! Me and my family come here almost once a week and we all love the food and the experience. The ramen is absolutely delicious! (my trick is to switch out the broth for the broth that they use for the udon noodles). If you are anywhere near here i definitely recommend coming!“

“Great place! The best rice bowls ever. Everything is so fresh.“

“I stopped at Mot’to Japanese Grill and WOW… this place seriously delivers 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I ordered the Chicken & California Roll and it was so worth it. The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked and covered in rich, flavorful teriyaki sauce, and the California roll was super fresh and tasted way better than expected. 👀 It also came with rice, miso soup, and a salad, so you’re getting a full, satisfying meal. 🤤🫶🏻

Everything tasted fresh, clean, and really well put together—not heavy, just super enjoyable. The portions were solid, the flavors were on point, and you can tell they actually care about the quality. 😊💕

Service was quick and smooth, and the staff was friendly, which made the whole experience even better. 🫶🏻

Definitely one of those spots I’ll 💯 keep coming back to when I'm here in Carlsbad - highly recommend 🙌🏼🙌🏼👌🏼👌🏼“

“Came here with my mom and we had a really good experience. I’ve been here before for the pho and I’m honestly picky about it since it’s my favorite, but they do it right. It’s simple, flavorful, and just hits every time.

This time we tried the chicken cutlet curry and it reminded me so much of what I used to eat when I lived in Japan. It was actually really nostalgic.

The service was great too. The waiter wasn’t overbearing but still really attentive and on top of everything. The vibe was calm and just felt easy to enjoy.

It’s honestly hard to find places in the U.S. that feel authentic because it’s usually hit or miss, but this spot really delivers. Definitely one of my go-to spots now.“

“While roaming around the fast food area in UTC, my mom and I decided to try a Japanese food. We both ordered the same meal: a combo of beef and chicken teriyaki with rice and veggies. It was delicious! It was nice to be able to watch the chefs cook our food. The seating was comfortable, and the servers and cooks were really friendly. The portions were generous too, we even had leftovers.“

“Our waiter Wilson was absolutely amazing and beyond belief with recommendations and service. We sat at the bar and he treated us like royalty with the best menue call outs and recommendations. He was literally the Jack to my Rose, but the ship was not sinking. Get the salt and pepper shrimp and scallops!“

“Jessica was fantastic, great service, prompt food delivery, she was personable and very professional and helpful with choosing our food. I could tell she had a lot going on with at least 4 other tables that I could see, but even so we were treated kindly and received great service and will be back! Thank you Jessica!!“

“La verdad aparte de q yo trabaje aqui esta muy rica la comida todo echo al instante“

“I’ve never had a bad time at Glass Box! The food is amazing and the servers, sushi chefs, and management team will make you feel kind you’re a VIP from the second you walk in their establishment. I highly recommend the omakase experience!“

“Good pho, 3.5/5. Really enjoyed the broth flavor, pretty good fresh noodles, meat was a bit sub par extra chewy texture and fat around edges. Given the hefty price per bowl, and restaurant name, should improve quality of meat served.“

“I'm know Chinese food well and have avoided this restaurant for years thinking it would be too Americanized and not authentic. Cute restaurant, friendly service and ... Tasty food and authentic!! Moderately priced esp for Del Mar. Recommend!!“

“Love this place and the food is all good 😘“

“Excellent service . Very welcoming atmosphere. The food is just below average since it is not authentic Chinese and the presentations are not that good .
Good vegetarian options. Recommend it for a regular lunch, but , do not expect very authentic Asian food .“

“Absolutely the best Thai I have ever had!!! I recommend this wonderful restaurant!!“

“Really enjoyed this meal at TPK! The burnt garlic fried rice was super fragrant and perfectly seasoned, with just the right smoky flavor. The Schezwan sauce balls had a nice spicy kick and great flavor without being overwhelming.
Definitely worth coming back for !
Certainly not to confuse for curry pizza house franchise!“

“Loved this place! The food was great. The service was amazing. The owners are super friendly.“

“Loved my impromptu dine-in experience! I was waiting for my car to be fixed and found Pho Ha Noi on Google since it was a short walk away. The dine-in experience is basic & straight forward - you order at the counter and they bring the food to you when it’s ready.

I tried the grilled shrimp vermicelli noodle bowl and an iced Vietnamese coffee to-go. The server was very friendly & efficient and the food was delicious! I loved the pickled vegetables, the veggies were fresh, and the shrimp was sautéed with perfectly crisp/golden garlic & onions. I would definitely eat here again since I’d like to try a tofu dish 😊“

“Go see Andrew at the Sushi bar! Ask for loads of Ginger!“

“I came here with an immense hunger. I got the tofu sandwich. I waited for about 8 minutes with intense jealousy as about 10 people were helped with their bowl and worried my sandwich was forgotten. Then it arrived. The sauces were great and I ate in a frenzy. The tofu was a little bland, but sandwich was good overall.“

“Me encanta el sushi y tienes muchas opciones!“

“We love Birdseye! Great food, great service and good casual atmosphere. We especially love that they have so many things on their menu to accommodate dietary restrictions- especially vegan.
Angel T. helped us most recently- nice, attentive, did a great job!“

“This place is good at first I was really bummed to see bibigo disappear and was thinking that nothing would ever replace it ,but this place does a fine job at that. I really enjoyed all the food here and it has motivated me to. visit the UTC more often so I can eat here.“

“Had the bbq pork sandwich. Then the beef curry sandwich. Pretty good.
Please do not put huge chunks of jalapeño in the pork sandwich without warning.
Also , maybe cut the curried beef into slices, instead of 3” square chunks.
Both these sandwiches are difficult to eat .“
