50 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants in Washington

“Bottom line up front, Cranes is a MUST for DC’s Winter Restaurant Week! From the hostess's accommodation of our late arrival, friendly greeting, and front door coat check to our waiter’s, Elmer, and wait staff’s attentive service throughout our visit, Cranes was superb! The Faux-jito, Squash Hummus, Ramen, and Iberico Pork Fried Rice were fantastic! When there was a problem with our bill, it was quickly resolved. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!!!“

“Visited the café today! Loved the delectable and creative menu, the warm service, and the beautiful, cozy interior. We enjoyed the inasal, tocino, and ube latte (complete with delicate latte art) courtesy of Sun and Stars Coffee. Our kid was thrilled she could enjoy an ube steamer, too-- and didn't want to stir her drink because she found the art (Hiraya's logo in this instance) so beautiful. If you want reimagined, creative, and elevated Filipino cuisine where the flavors simultaneously bring back sensory memories of the comfort food of your childhood, this is the place for you. Can't wait to return!“

“This popular restaurant was quite busy when we went. The menu, same as the other Plantas, offered a lot. We had the Queso Fundido, which was great, but oily. The Tres Leches dessert was exceptionally good. The only drawback to the restaurant was that it was extremely noisy, This may have to do with when we went, late on a weekend.“

“Great, it's delicious. I suggest you all try it.“

“Delicious tea, scones, chai, and latkas“

“In DC for 6 days, if it weren’t for family gatherings that included tons of food, I Would Have EATEN HERE EVERYDAY! Seriously love, the Love! Bring some of this great food to Boston!😘“

“❤️ Oku. hits everytime. every 🍾 celebration we (my fam) head straightforward there.“

“Visited Philippe's this past Saturday night and was immediately greeted with such warmth. Andrea made my old fashion to perfection and she was willing to help with anything we needed. We didn't want much to eat so we just got the calamari 9/10, the veggie lettuce wrap 9/10 and the beef lettuce wrap 10/10. When Andrea left for the night, Ponce picked up right where she left off and took great care of us. We later sparked a conversation of the manager George and Sadi, who were both very welcoming. I look forward to more late nights, happy hours and dinners with the girls here at Philippe's at the Wharf!“

“Superb soup dumplings and ramen. The pork and shrimp, and Mala were perfect. The soup was hot but not scalding and the dumplings filling was perfect texture. Super easy to eat. The ramen (duck and Reren) were phenomenal. Broth was flavorful and the ingredients were fresh. The bok choy was tender but still crunchy. Service was friendly and attentive.“

“the food is ok but not amazing. very small portions & the burger is $25 so it is very expensive. the chocolate cake was delicious. the place is tacky design lots of yellow & red & orange. when pay big bucks i prefer a really nice lighting & seats. hard uncomfortable seats. the menu is full of fancy food. could definitely use some better explanations so people know what is on it. I ordered a burger because I could understand what it was . I went for brunch with 3 friends and the bill without tip was $291. the service was good but could be better with filling the drinks. I probably won't go again because it is very expensive for what you get.“

“This restaurant is totally vegetarian. However, I must say to 'meat lovers' you won't miss your meat.
Every dish I ate was tasty. Most interesting was the spicy tuna sushi roll with watermelon as a tuna substitute.
I highly recommend this restaurant for a tasty culinary dining experience in the city of Washington DC.“

“My girlfriend and i dined and the service and the food were amazing, Hicham made sure that we enjoyed our bottle of wine. Our courses were perfectly timing. Honestly I will be back at least ones a week just to get the same experience with Hicham and music. Thank you pink Tiger for creating a beautiful late place for residents arround you.“

“食物新鲜 ，每个订单都是特别订做的。全手工制作的食品。“

“Delicious food, cozy place!!“

“My friends and I had a great time last night!!! The food and drinks was the bomb and the service was great!!! I'll be coming back!!!!“

“I rarely post reviews, but I make an exception for restaurants that leave a lasting impact, and this one definitely did! The pho was incredibly comforting and delicious. I’m already excited to come back next month when it’s cooler outside. The bánh mì was fresh and hot, bursting with flavor. Plus, our server was genuinely pleasant. Highly recommend this place!“

“Cool little spot. Great service and very fresh tasting food.“

“This place has definitely improved.It use to smell really bad but that has changed. The menu changed and for the better. The popcorn chicken is really good, as well as the orange and fish! The friend rice isn’t great. The mango chicken has way too much sauce. Regardless, I would definitely recommend this place.“

“Teaism set up a group meal for our Girl Scout Troop and it was phenomenal! The kids and adults loved the food and the Boba Tea, and we are so grateful for how careful and thorough they were in taking care of food allergies. Highly recommend!!!!“

“Legit Japanese food. I’ve visited 6 cities in Japan and this is exactly the type of food I’ve had there. 🍱 🍜 🍣“

“Very fast n tasty 😋 offers variety of choices.“

“Delicious vegan food and friendly staff!“

“Food was soo good!!! I heard about BIBIBOP before I landed in DC. ITS REALLY GOOD #truth“

“Bandoola Bowl at Western Market, is a gem for quick and flavorful meals. I frequent the place whenever I run errands nearby and am always impressed. My go-to is the pork spicy noodle bowl, which never disappoints. The roasted pork pairs beautifully with fresh, crunchy cabbage, romaine, onions, tomatoes, red bell peppers, cilantro, and lime. The crispy garlic and fried shallots add a satisfying texture, and the sweet soya sauce ties everything together perfectly.

One of the standout features is the staff—they’re incredibly friendly, chatty in the best way, and always welcoming. They make sure to ask about spice preferences and potential food allergies, adjusting ingredients accordingly, which makes every visit personalized and thoughtful. The restaurant is also impeccably clean, and the service is quick and efficient, so I’m never waiting too long. If you’re looking for a delicious, fresh meal with great service, Bandoola Bowl is the perfect stop.“

“After an awesome baseball game, I decided to hit up Bonchon, just a 5-minute walk from the stadium--a super convenient spot for a quick bite. Even with the post-game crowd, I was surprised at how quickly we were seated and our order taken.

It was my first time at Bonchon, but I'd heard great things about their wings. I went with the soy garlic wings and some fries. Let me tell you, these were the BEST wings I've ever had. Crunchy on the outside, fall-off-the-bone tender on the inside, and the soy garlic flavor was out of this world!

I'm definitely coming back to try more of their menu. If everything else is as good as the wings, I'm in for a treat!“

“One of my favorite sushi spots for lunch when the mood strikes. The location is unassuming and if you aren't looking for it you will walk right by. Not the cheapest option but the quality of the fish speaks for itself. As far as sushi, I can only speak to the nigiri and sashimi but the various types I have had all have been fresh with good texture. The beef udon bowl was light and a great soup without being heavy. This place is only open for lunch so if you can swing it, it's worth a try.“

“The Chai is my latest obsession! Stopped in while visiting the White House and was blown away. The food was freshly prepared, hot and tasty. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely frequent this eatery if I lived locally. For now, I am ordering their Chai online.“

“I was really delighted savoring all the food. The service was professional, The guy serving was very professional and friendly, he was always smiling and always wearing gloves when serving the food. I am very impressed with that.“

“This has very quickly become my go-to carryout/delivery place. The food here is SO GOOD and has a unique flavor profile that I haven't had anywhere else in the area. I've sampled a number of dishes at this point:
Thukpa Soup - delicious, hearty, especially great when under the weather.
Hot & Sour Soup - delicious and spicy, great proportion of vegetables, tastes quite different from the Chinese takeout version (in a great way)
Lamb Momo (with red spicy sauce) - really unique flavor and VERY tasty. I've ordered this twice now.
Chicken Chow Mein - pleasantly surprised that this was a bit spicy! Very satisfying and tastes quite different from the Chinese takeout version as well.
Chicken Biryani - Great flavor, love it! They do it right!
Paneer Masala - Great flavor, love it! They do it right!

Looking forward to trying even more things on the menu!“

“Some of the best Indian cuisine we've had in quite awhile. To add to the experience are the great prices & very friendly service. Best wishes & we'll certainly be back for more!“

“great food and service! tacos are outstanding and the tex mex egg roll are definitely a must buy!“

“Spices is always delicious. It’s one of our go-tos in the neighborhood and has literally never been a disappointment. When you have a spot like this, it’s not easy to remember to give them a review. It’s just such a part of our routine you forget how important online reviews are for restaurants.My personal favorites are their lychee martinis and crab wontons. The sushi is always fresh and delicious and the staff are always very kind.“

“Great food and fantastic staff“

“Small and cozy setting food was great. The only issue is limited parking in the area.“

“Great spot in DC, the food is very tasty, well priced and the portions are massive! The food is prepared to order very quickly - you can see the kitchen and the chefs at work. The food was eaten by us within 20mins of ordering making it a perfect meal before the train.“

“Under another person’s recommendation I decided to try Shanghai lounge. I ordered 3 things from the menu and I loved them all!!!!! Food was very tasty and flavorful. Best spring rolls, spicy cold sesame noodles and rice noodles with peanut sauce!!!!! ????“

“You can’t go wrong at Raku, their food is fantastic, well cooked and fresh!“

“We had so much fun and we’re amazed at how delicious everything was!M is a sweetheart and provided outstanding service. She answered questions and gave recommendations. She was very thoughtful and kind. And the food - outstanding! We can’t wait to go back!Thank you!“

“5 stars for the beef noodle soup - soup is delicious and beef is so tender it falls apart when you pick it up with chopsticks.

Wontons are delicate and delicious, if a bit salty. The dumplings are alright, skin is a bit too thick. The pork burger is alright. Broccoli is a pass - seasoning is patchy and too vinegary. Would definitely come back for the noodles.“

“The food is always excellent“

“Great place great atmosphere and excellent food“

“I went at noon and it was not crowded at all, and it was quiet, a big bonus for me these days. No loud music and people shouting in order to converse over it. The food was very good, very fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant for Asian fusion cuisine and sushi.“

“Chef K's focus on healthy eating and sustainable organics with tasty, yummy seasonings made for the right balance in my body. I always walk away from Shaleafa's Kitchen holistically satisfied and full. Thank you! We will be back and will bring more guests to experience your signature cooking!“

“Food 9/10 service 100/10 nice cozy cafe, good Boba tea. Highly recommended!“

“It was a great experience.. food was good and customer service was even better and fast.“

“Spicebird is a take-out place inside Makan. Ordered the half chicken with two sides - chicken n wood ear mushroom and the cold noodles. Additional two sides of the crispy potato and fried rice. Although all 4 were great, I loved the chicken n friend rice most. $18 for the half chicken and two sides is a great value meal and the ingredients were fresh! Loved it

Vegetarian options: This is mostly a non-vegetarian place. There maybe a side or two with veg options“

“Wonderful mixture of flavors and textures. Refreshing and filling at the same time. Definitely a must if you like asian mex fusions. 🤤“
