26 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Newton

“The food is fresh and sooo yummy, just incredible! New favorite lunch spot! Definitely recommend!“

“I highly recommend this place“

“Asia Mei is easily one of the best Chefs in Boston. I've eaten here several times, but I can't believe that I haven't written a review before now! My husband and I had brunch at moonshine 152 last weekend and told friends about it. Next thing you know, the four of us were in there around noon time today having brunch again. We shared three starters, alongside sharing all four entrées and everything, I mean everything was to die for! Ms Asia herself delivered some of our plates and she is just as delightful as she is talented. Needless to say, dinner is amazing here as well. The vibe in the restaurant is so easy and you can tell that the staff get along very well together. What I can't believe is how this place wasn't fully packed today or last weekend even. Definitely a good amount of patrons, but I've had brunch at places that are hard to get into and left much less satisfied.“

“Went there for a corporate holiday gathering. The staff were terrific and it was such a fun, interesting chance to learn, laugh and connect with colleagues. Staff are so attentive, kind and patient. A wonderful place!“

“The place might not look appealing on the outside but the food is awesome! One of the best places in the Downtown Boston to grab a business lunch.“

“What a great first visit! Nicholas S. was absolutely wonderful – so attentive and kind throughout our meal. He patiently answered all our questions and was genuinely friendly, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The food itself was excellent, and Nicholas really added to the positive vibe. We'll definitely be back!“

“Food is incredibly amazing quality and consistent. Takeout only, and a few lovely seats inside while you’re waiting. (Interior decoration is so fun to look at and simply enjoy.)

Sometimes I just drop by to pick up a viet iced coffee or thai iced tea. Always perfect. This place has become my comfort food!“

“Burrito was delish. Crispy fries were awesome. Will be back again to try something else.“

“My husband (who is vegan) and I were in the Boston/Cambridge area for work and selected Base Crave for our first meal out. We met two people from his job and noticed that the place was empty except for us and the staff. That worried me, but after eating, my only thought was “people need to eat here! They don’t know what they’re missing!” The 4 of us ordered vegetarian mo mo (omg - yum!), vegetable samosas, chicken tikka masala (I didn’t try it but was told it was good), Tofu Mushroom stir-fry chilies mild which was okay, probably because we got it mild, Plantain curry (my hubby says fabulous!), plain naan (very good), and the Mushroom Stir-fry Noodles, mild. My husband and I agreed that the best things on the table were the Mo mo and the stir-fry noodles, both had fabulous flavor! We definitely recommend this place and would love to eat there again!“

“A hidden gem that opened last year and now our weekly go-to for Japanese - sashimi, sushi, ramen and poke bowls. The staff is very friendly and the owner, Anna, makes you feel so at home. The sashimi/sushi are fresh, delicious and prepared beautifully. The cocktails are creative and well made - mai tais, pistachio martinis, you name it. The kids (and adults) enjoy various fruit teas/slushees with optional boba. They also offer Chinese and Thai food on the menu. Staples like beef teriyaki sticks, sichuan fried rice or tangerine beef are must haves and often added to our meals with lots of leftovers to go home with. Highly recommend Wasabi Asian Bistro&Bar to anyone looking for great Asian food.“

“extremely attentive staff, our meal was brought very promptly. bathroom could accommodate my wheelchair easily. we loved spending a special night there, and are already looking forward to our return visit“

“This is an intimate and rewarding eating experience. I have had lunch here 3 times, and not been disappointed once. Delicious and unusual items all through their expansive menu. For example I have had bitter mustard green soup, stuffef meat “sandwiches” that are more like pies, a crusty sweet potato “pancake” with seeds, sweet iced lavander latte, tofu dishes prepared wonderfully. The owners are friendly and appear to be managing a different kind of Asian fusion menu with an open mind, changing things up as they go. Because the previous tenant ran a pizza restaurant, they decided to offer Chinese pizza with unusual and original ingredients. Reasonably priced, parking availability in Huron Village might be the only drawback. Open every day of the wëek,
11am - 9:30pm.“

“I’m honestly glad that I waited to post my original review with a lower rating and thought through the experience a little bit more. As always, I find it a bit harder to review fusion spots. Not just any fusion either, but one that is all over the world map. It’s easy to just nitpick one dish and use it to judge everything else; but what about that is remotely fair?

For example, their Beef Rendang (a dish that I’m very familiar with - including the different regional renditions) is more like a hint towards what “real” Beef Rendang is. I don’t even need to speak on behalf of the Filipinos regarding their adobo (which I also grew up on) who are infamous to show up on public forums to criticize and say “that’s not how my grandmother makes it” (lol).

What did come to mind is the old quote that many often find negative but actually was meant to be a positive phrase (if the last part isn’t so often omitted). “Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than a master of one”.

That definitely applies here with their style of food. There’s a lot going on and a good portal to the true potential of each dish. Definitely give them a try! Portions are good and the food is definitely tasty!“

“The food was savory and the service was fantastic and quick!“

“The best in Boston.“

“A wonderful tiki bar! We loved the food and creative cocktails.“

“The food was good. I actually enjoyed the edamame dumplings which is surprising since I'm not much of a veggie person. We all loved the papaya salad. I really enjoyed my lemongrass chicken and rice too. The waitress was very attentive.“

“Flavor Boom is one of my go-to places for a quick, inexpensive, and tasty meal. The bowls are always warm, full to the brim, and packed with flavor. I love their chicken adobo, tangy tamarind chicken, and beef stew. There’s almost always space to eat inside as well, if you want to eat it right away. Highly recommend!“

“Decided to go out for dinner with a few friends and it was delicious. I liked the citrus dressing on the avocado salad. The filet mignon was tender and flavorful. For dessert, green tea ice cream is a must!“

“Awesome Dumplings!! Great Service!☺️“

“A great, cozy fusion restaurant. Their pho was excellent, and the Vietnamese coffee tasted genuine and well-prepared. It's nice to be able to see the chefs as they prepare the meals — it's clear they have a friendly rapport, which adds to the atmosphere as well.“

“We have been ordering from Sono for many years, since they first opened. After a hiatus due to unrelated circumstances, we began ordering from Sono again and wondered why we ever stopped. The sushi is consistently fresh and prices are reasonable, and they outdo the larger name chains in the local area. Highly recommended.“

“They never disappoint Food is consistent never a bad meal Food presentation is A+ Staff very professional and very accommodating, making the whole experience even better !“

“This was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed the option to build your own bowl and the unique drinks. Only comment my husband made was even though there were 2 guys in the kitchen (you can see into it), one of them was on his phone the whole time we were there not doing anything. They probably could've gotten orders done faster if they were both working...“

“Highly recommend the Thai basil limeade and especially the the tamarind tangle. Dined in for late lunch with a coworker, and our great experience (both food and customer service) were well worth coming back here for a review. Though seating options weren't overly abundant, there was no wait to order on the kiosks and we received our food quickly on a dreary Thursday at 1pm.“

“Overall 9.1/10. Food was awesome. Good value for the amount. I was pretty full. Bowl was delicious. Definitely would go back.
bulgogi coreanos bowl 9.3/10
Shrimp tempura kimbap 9.0/10
Sweet garlic chicken 8.9/10
Fritas kimchi 8.7/10“
