50 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Melrose

“They ALWAYS do such a great job with the quality, quantity and presentation of their food. Not to mention, their customer service is always top notch! We had a Christmas party and they kindly arranged the sushi on two big platters for us and also made sure the Uber Eats driver knew to be careful with our order because the sushi could easily move around inside the platters before it reached our house. I’ve never had a bad experience or meal from here. A regular customer for life!“

“This place was pretty quiet on a Saturday but the food was good. I have a huge issue with the pricing of the food. Some appetizers were upwards of $30 and that's insane. On no planet should the prices ever be this high. The food is good! The bacon wrapped sourdough or whatever it was delicious! The biggest issue I had was I ordered the "friend chicken on biscuits" special and it was neither fried nor on a biscuit. For $27 or whatever it was, to not be accurate was disappointing. The chicken was chewy and impossible to eat so I wasted almost $30. I won't be back unless I win the lottery and I don't feel like waiting for a table in Boston. I bet they're always open.“

“The best place I’ve ever been to for a birthday celebration! The waiter Michael was on point with everything we needed at the table! No need to ask him for anything because he brought it perfectly on time! Highly recommend this place!!!Parking: The hardest thing was finding parking spots! One person even got a huge ticket so be mindful that where ever you park look for signs!“

“I came here to celebrate Valentine's day with my husband. Personally speaking, I've not been a big fan of Asian fusion food, but I was delightfully surprised by the food at Myers & Chang. We got one beef udon dish and a braised beef dish, with both turning out very good but both a bit salty - so we had to get one more bowl of rice to top up. Additionally, they were kind enough to let me order a drink from the brunch menu. I would come back!“

“This was one of the most amazing dining experiences I have ever had. It was all perfect. Atmosphere, service and food all perfect. There really is not much more to say. I felt like I was scamming them for how inexpensive it was. I want to come back here just for this.“

“We had an absolutely phenomenal dinner here this evening. Our waiter, Robin, was amazing. Highlights for me were the Beef Tataki, the tahini cauliflower, the dandan noodles, and the fried chicken. Great fusion food, great vibe, great views.“

“I came here for birthday drinks with my girlfriends and I was amazed with their cocktails. The lychee martini is delicious! Probably best one I've had in Boston. Ambiance is hip and beautiful. Shout out to Bao for making us feel extra special that day ! Will definitely come back to try the food!“

“I used to go here years ago for their bulgogi tacos, quesadilla, and kimchi fries and have never been able to find the time to go. I went the other day to get kimchi fries before work and I am so glad I did! It's a tiny spot for mostly takeout and I ordered kimchi fries with bulgogi. When I went to pickup my food they told me they accidentally made it with spicy pork so I could either keep the pork or they would remake it. They were very nice about it but I was fine with spicy pork and they ended up giving me both spicy pork and beef. I don't know why I haven't gotten these more these past few years because they are still as amazing as they were years ago. Hot fries with kimchi, bulgogi, different sauces and a runny egg on top. One of the best meals and it was $13!“

“cute little restaurant in brighton! everyone who works here is so kind and service was amazing. we got the salmon bowl, fried chicken sandwich, the brown sugar ginger latte and a smoothie and we loved everything. the space is cozy and clean. definitely coming back!“

“My husband, ten year old daughter, and I did a dumpling class today and it was amazing! The explanation of all the techniques and different dumplings were very thorough and easy to follow. They were so nice to my daughter too. This specific class was catered towards adults and we really appreciate that they included her and treated her as an equal. The dumplings were delicious and the space itself was so cute! We will definitely be back, with friends! Thank you Caitlin and Cal!“

“One of my new go-to spots for Asian-inspired healthy bowls.I first found out about Lotus Test Kitchen last year while looking for a lunch spot in Downtown. Since then, I’ve been getting bowls from here at least once a month. They seamlessly meld Asian flavors into healthy bowls without a lot of compromises.My favorite bowl is their signature Braised Pork Belly Bowl, which features three substantial chunks of tender pork belly. It also comes with cabbage slaw, and pickled daikons and carrots that helps tone down the greasiness with their tangy, refreshing crunch. And then there's the Spicy Gochujang sauce, an optional but highly recommended addition that weaves sweetness and a subtle kick to the bowl.While certain dishes, like the Thai Curry Chicken and the Spicy BBQ Korean Pork Belly bowl, occasionally come with meat that errs on the drier side, their sauce and pickled vegetable toppings help elevate the central ingredients.Overall, a great lunch spot that offers a quick, filling, and delicious bowls. If you’re looking for something healthy outside of your usual salad bowls, I highly recommend giving them a try.“

“Our waiter, Rodolfo was the kindest and most supportive waiter I have ever encountered. The food was some of the best I have ever tasted. This along with the assistance showed and his positive, upbeat attitude made my experience at this place one which stood out of many. Overall an amazing experience which should be shared among many. ???Vegetarian options: Delicious noodlesKid-friendliness: Had food everyone could enjoy ?“

“Delicious and fresh sushi and sashimi at a hidden spot! But as the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. Come on, store! We got the toro tataki and scallop uni tataki as well as the toro hand roll from the omakase menu, and the lunch special makimono. All amazingly tasty and we are hungry for more!“

“Hands down the best sushi in Boston! UNI has quickly earned its place as my go-to for celebratory dinners with my partner. Fantastic place to impress a date or family with a cool and fun atmosphere. Friendly and welcoming service ties this delicious experience together. We can't wait to go back!“

“I highly recommend the salmon dumpling, the first bite was really amazed. There were only 3 dumplings, and, my friend and I were two people. But the waiter was kind enough to give one more, just so we could share it evenly. The sea urchin soba noodles and oysters were really great as appetizers.“

“It was Ladies' night for us, and we popped into Banyan. We love the décor, atmosphere, drinks. We instantly loved Jimmy who gave us the warmest welcome like we were old friends. We ended our night in Banyan and are eager to go back for a meal!“

“Omg soooo good I want to come back and try all the vegan dishes and all the levels of spiciness. Gundruk Soup! Get it!Vegetable Mo Mo! Get it!Can't wait to come back for more. Great food, friendly service. Get ready for a flavor experience you will love.“

“If you want standard American Chinese food then order off the lunch special menu. If you want authentic Chinese food you must order off the dinner menu.They are a Szechuan restaurant so I would recommend ordering dishes like the peppercorn chicken or the Szechuan beef. Szechuan string beans are also really good.“

“First of all, I can't believe we waited so long to go back to this place, since we live less than half a mile away. This is such a unique place in Chinatown, with very creative (and well made) cocktails and a menu for just about anyone's palate. After seeing a segment on TV, I really wanted to try the burger and it might be one of the top 5 burgers I've ever had (and I have had thousands). The Bao bun is just so good, as was the sauce and the pickles. Top it off with a side of duck fat fries and you have the perfect burger. We were there on a Monday night around 6:45 and the place was packed. The bar too. No pictures but I wish I had. Will definitely be back to try more of the menus.“

“We happened upon this place on a date night. The food was good. I had the Pad Thai and my husband liked the Tom Yum Pad Thai. Not much seating, but we had the whole place to ourselves as this seems to be mostly for take out. We will be back again!“

“Great place for craft cocktails, service on the main floor was way better than the one downstairs at the Piano Bar. My salmon was overcooked and dry, so I didn’t enjoy it all. The seats downstairs at the Piano bar were very uncomfortable and it was really hard to enjoy the music.“

“Loved this cute little cafe! They serve hot drinks, bubble tea, and desserts. Thai iced tea with brown sugar pearls was delicious! We also had the mango eclair and tiramisu, which were just the right size and sweetness. Decor and atmosphere were beautiful and classy. Window bar seating and some small tables as well. Staff were very friendly and completed our orders pretty quickly.“

“I had the privilege of having such a lovely young lady serving my table , she was very friendly , professional and what I love the must is that she recommended the best tasty meats since it was my first time having such a great experience in the restaurant .I can tell she love her profession as a waitress. Love it , definitely I will return and I would love to have her serving me , Iris you rock !!!“

“Never too packed, great service, drinks, and a low-key atmosphere. Go alone or with friends, you'll enjoy it either way!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian broths are available...the tomato broth is a little sweet, but good, and the mushroom broth is a newfound favorite! There are also veggie and different types of tofu options too.“

“I've been to all the Boston locations and this is my absolute favorite location. My boyfriend and I try to get in once a week when we can. Every time we go the staff are so cute and friendly. We always get the split pot as I am obsessed with the tomato broth and he is obsessed with the spicy broth. The beef is beefin'. We get a minimum of 4 plates of beef to start. So much beefy goodness in those really thin slices. You get a variety of veggies and proteins from the buffet line. When we eat at a different hot pot place I feel like I am betraying happy lamb. This location is the best.“

“The food was excellent so I'd give 5 stars just for that but they went above and beyond to cater to our kids food allergies, which is always difficult when you are traveling and have to eat out.The lady then took time to speak with our boys, ask them they're name and wrote it out in Thai on a piece of paper for them to take home as well as teach them how to pronounce it. Our boys were super happy.I would 100% return.Dietary restrictions: Allergies“

“This is such a wonderful addition to the halal food scene in Boston! This restaurant is tucked away, in a small Asian food court, and is a hidden gem! The food portions are large, and each entree is fresh and packed with a bunch of flavor (and “spicy” is actually spicy here, haha).We ordered the Spicy Beef Noodles, Samsa, and Chicken entrees and they were wonderful! We will definitely be coming back soon!!!“

“Great customer service starting with a cup of warm water for asian customers，so sweet. We only ordered grilled Skewer, tastes great！One of the best in the east coast I have had. Will definitely come back. My favorite is signature chicken gristle.“

“I took my dear friend Alla to dinner. She promised me the New Ginza would have great food. Honestly, it was the best Japanese food I ever had! We ordered Avocado salad, volcano Maki, with a fabulous shitaKe mushroom topping and scorpion maki. Fresh food with a wonderful mix of spices. Can't wait to return next time I am in Boston.Andrea“

“I stumbled upon this place on my way home from work and wow. The sushi is some of the best I've had. Everything tasted fresh and great quality. Got the spicy tuna and yellow tail, tuna and salmon nigiri, and crunchy tuna maki. Absolutely would recommend anything on this menu.“

“This was my first visit to any Happy Lamb location. The meat selection and fish/veggie selection, I thought were pretty decent/sizable. I wasn’t a big fan of their spicy broth, not because of the spice level (yum) but because the broth had a granular texture which wasn’t pleasant. I was disappointed with their sauce station, it was incredibly limited as compared to other AYCE hot pot spots. The service and price of the meal overall was pretty decent.“

“Mine and my daughter’s favorite place. We normally get the bbq pork banh mi sandwich but we’ve had the beef satay (pictured)..both delicious! Rice plates soo good. Smoothies are great! If we could get them all the time, we would! Highly recommend checking them out.“

“We’ve been to the Brookline location before and now that we’ve been to the Harvard location we love both! We were running a little late due to parking and they were very accommodating. We had Sprite as our server and he was very helpful, attentive, friendly, and answered any questions we had. We ordered the meat lovers and loved it! We can’t wait to come back with more friends to try the all you can eat!“

“The best place for hot pot in Boston! So many choices to pick from and a sauce bar that you can mix your own or use the ones they have. They have the best broth out of any place I’ve tried and the wait staff is super kind and helpful if you have any questions! Always a good go to on a dreary “

“I tried Soi8 for the first time and it was delicious! I have had sushi all over the world and this is some of the best! The Tuna Tataki was a great start! And the Sex on the Beach roll was amazing! I like spicy tuna and this was just perfect! I plan to bring family, friend and clients here!!Parking: I parked right out front.“

“This is my go to sushi spot. If you're looking for a specialty roll, you need to try the sakura. Hands down the best roll I've ever had. The restraunt is extremely clean and warm. The staff are welcoming, and there is often a pianist playing some music.“

“awesome!!! nice people and great food!! My granddaughter had a competition and they congratulate her like she was a part of their family! every time we walk in she gives the owner a BIGGGG Hug!!! I feel like we are so welcome there!! I definitely recommend this place!! we won't EVER stop going!“

“I have been coming to Hardy teriyaki for quite a while now and I am addicted to the supreme teriyaki chicken bowl. The chicken is always so fresh and tender and flavorful. I usually get it on top of the delicious fried rice. And that egg on top just brings it to another level of goodness. Not only is the food consistently delicious, the people who work there are so friendly and kind. My food is always ready when I get there and is given to me with a huge beautiful smile! love this place.“

“Oh my goodness. I'm only halfway done and I feel I MUST rate this place right now! First, be aware of the hours. They are not open all hours of the day.But, wow, the red glazed pork is one of the most wonderfully divine foods I've put in my mouth! So hot, juicy and flavorful. I was offered to taste samples (the host was so very nice) of a few items, I wanted this, tasted this and immediately ordered. Served over a bed of white rice, the juices just soak in and every bite is an intense pleasure. Gosh, I sound hokey and made up. I'm being serious as a heart attack.To top it off, I added optional green beans and those were very delightful, too! Well cooked with a nice snap and awesome buttery flavor, they were the perfect topping to break up the pork nirvana.You can bet I'll be back. The hard part will be trying other dishes instead of just having this over and over.“

“This place is well known for sushi and takeout food. If you haven't tried the eat-in experience, I recommend it. The eat-in feels slightly elevated, though the only negative to it is that it is so small inside and the staff has nowhere to be except for the bar, which can feel a bit like crowding (not their fault, it just is what it is). We specifically came for the duck, which we have had in the past. This time, we got the mango crispy duck, and it was A+, just perfectly cooked and crispy yet tender. We also got spicy dumplings, which was a special. We loved them. In addition, we had the lo mein, which was fair. It seemed a bit oily for my tastes and lacked flavor. The scallion pancakes were fine, but served with a soy based sauce and not a plum sauce, which isn't typical around here. The cheese Rangoon (crab) was ok too. Overall, I can say for certain we will be back for that duck and the sushi (didn't have it this time, but consistently some of the best around). The drinks are also well made.“

“Mi Soul is a great miso soup ramen, the pork is esp tender and generous.Ten Yum was solid, very simple(just noodle and shrimp) and was mild/medium spicy.Poke was good, fish was very clean tasting, and a good amount of rice. I only wish they had spicy mayo as an option, more Seaweed or furikake for crispyness, and a little more cabbage to go with the large amount of rice. Great to have the option given the other poke spots are about a mile away.“

“I ordered pad thai and rice noodles. Of all the pho restaurants I've tried since coming to Boston, this was the most delicious and friendly. The staff’s delicacy and professionalism gave me a great sense of trust! I was disappointed that the Pad Thai noodles were a bit short, but the seasoning was just right and I ordered it with a fork and was satisfied with both the quantity and taste.The rice noodles also have less MSG flavor, are refreshing, and have quite a lot of meat. It had a clean rice noodle flavor, so it suited my taste ^^“

“We got take out delivery via Uber Eats from OliToki. The tteokbokki was a bit over-cooked, and the chicken add-on in the kimchi fried rice was very dry. Definitely tastes like fusion food rather than authentic, which is what we expected. Overall very filling!“

“I went here in December 2022 and loved my experience here. I was able to find seating at the bar on a busy Friday night. I ordered 2 drinks - a bright blue cocktail and a hot pink one after. Both were delicious. The service was a bit slow because of how busy the restaurant was, but the bartender totally made it up to us by giving us free shooters! The shot was blue and sparkly and also amazing. Overall I really liked it here. I'm not sure if the bar is still open or if it's just an event space now, but I would go back to this bar.“

“Food is great, the garlic cucumber is definitely authentic which reminds me my mom's cooking. The cumin lamb is a little bit on the salty side so would be great if you have it with pancake or rice. Both dry fried noodles and dice noodles are very good. Would love to try the lamb BBQ next with the meat pancakes as well.“

“Wow! This place is amazing. The food is good. The atmosphere is good, the price is good and the service is outstanding. I had a birthday dinner with my husband and it was the best. I am grateful for a wonderful dinner and friendly reception. A must go??“

“We had just the best time at Lola42. My husband and I are extremely indecisive people, and always ask servers for recommendations. Our server at Lola was Ginely, who was an absolute delight and figured out our taste to a tee. Will absolutely be returning!“

“Stumbled upon this sushi place while wandering the Boston streets and found ourselves in the North End. The drinks were STRONG and were in very large vessels which I think were worth my money. Sushi was also pretty good. I'm not really particular but the sushi came out pretty quickly and it was yummy. Loved it. Ambience of the place was chill. Their bathroom is very clean. I'd come again!“

“Tried it while in the area based on Yelp reviews. Got the springs rolls and pan fried dumplings as appetizers. The spring rolls were okay not great. The pan fried dumplings were really good. for entrees we got the Vegetarian Delight, the Basil Chicken with eggplant in Garlic sauce, and Chicken in black bean sauce. The vegetables in the Delight were excellent, the sauce was one of those sort of Chinese American white sauces that I am not really a fan of but was still decent. The Basil chicken dish was quite tasty, really good sauce and the eggplant was really, really good. The chicken in black bean was a simple but excellent dish. The serving dishes might have seemed cool in concept but perhaps had a flaw in actual use because they seemed to have a tendency to easily overflow due to design that has weakness on either end. Simple order at the counter and they bring to your table in the small dining room. Seems to be primarily a take out place but the dining room was clean and the service to the table good. They checked in on us. Bathroom was nice and clean.“

“Located near gate C19, it’s a great place to grab a quick meal during layovers. I got the Shojonator Burger with Fries and it’s pretty good. The portion isn’t huge but that’s a good thing (specifically in this case) because it wouldn’t make you feel too bloated during your next flight.“
