50 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Waltham

“Bulgogi... I'd never heard of it before, but I had to try it and not I'm addicted! The quality of the food combined with the amazing staff give me the confidence to try new things, like bibimbap, chicken katsu, their new sauce, and of course the bulgogi! The staff here are all super nice, not just one of two of them. After 5 visits I haven't ever had a negative experience. The fried chicken strips with seasoned fries and bulgogi are our go-to order and you simply can't go wrong trying other items. We try something new every time.

Parking: Park on the street or in a public lot on side street.“

“My boyfriend and I love it here! When the staff learned it was his birthday they went all out with taking care of us. The staff are so kind and want you to enjoy the experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We love this style of Asian fusion cuisine so we came by for dinner and were not disappointed. Staff are helpful, attentive, and super friendly. The cocktails are great, and the food was incredible. It's a higher end spot in a wealthy area so you have to expect costs to reflect that.“

“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!“

“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!“

“This place is the bomb. drove 2 hours to try it. service , food , and were phenomenal. Definitely coming back with friends. They even validated our parking.“

“Tried the Khao Soi Chicken Noodle Bowl, and it's delicious. However, I deducted one star because the front staff (a young lady) seemed unhappy about my decision not to tip for a takeout order, which I drove 10 miles to pick up. Additionally, there were too many onions in the bowl; I had to discard them while eating. Furthermore, this is a takeout-only establishment, and they don't mention that anywhere. Otherwise, it’s a decent casual restaurant.“

“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!“

“Delicious sushi, always fresh. Healthy pours, good wine selection. Their non sushi is great too, we like the chicken and broccoli in garlic sauce. Wonderful having them in a neighborhood that doesn’t have many options nearby. They make a mean mai tai.“

“Went on $1 wing Wednesday with a group of four, great experience. They are very upfront with the fact that you must order a drink/side to “unlock” the wings. $10 each for beer and another $10 for some wings, each wing uniquely large and delicious. We will be returning on a very near future Wednesday.“

“DoorDash has a good two for one deal. I’ve tried another dish at a different location before and liked it. This time I got the Spicy Chicken Karahi ($11.85). It was indeed spicy. Some pieces of chicken were dry, and I would have liked more green beans, but the portion size was filling. It also came with some random crackers, but I liked them.“

“It is just a regular little Bodega. They have a lot of Harvard sweatshirts, t-shirts, and other Harvard memorabilia. Most people know it as the liquor store in town. Customer service always feels like it's lacking but somehow they do the job! Just a quick little in and out convenience store“

“I have tried many different dishes, and none of them disappoint me. I love having my lunch or dinner here because the food is always fresh and staff is courteous. I highly recommend to eat here.�����“

“We came there 20 minutes before closing but they served us quickly with take out service. The dumplings were really great, the best I've ever tried. I'm a vegetarian so I ordered teokbokki because there weren't any fish cakes in it but we tasted a strong fish flavour so I assumed there was fish sauce inside, but not mentioned in the menu. I didn't ask for it, so it's partially my bad. But a vegan/vegetarian sign next to the dishes would be appreciated! Service fast and efficient“

“We have been getting take-out from Ray’s every week for the last 2 months.Come from Natick to Needham for their excellent food.In addition,whatever we order online or by phone is exactly what we receive;no surprises.Well worth the visit!“

“Delicious Sichuan style food. I really enjoyed the mala spicy whole fish and Chengdu fried chicken. Skip the fresh chicken with mala broth which had too many small bones to pick through as you chew. Quiet place to dine most evenings.

Kid-friendliness: No high chairs or changing tables. No kiddie cups available.“

“Good food, nice atmosphere!!“

“Overall ingredients + service + ambiance, I give it 3 stars 🌟🌟🌟 (Hawaii's is a bit better 😆🌺)“

“Flavor, healthy-eating, price, and value - the best balance of all four. This place deserves 5 stars on every count. Hip places usually fumble on at least one of these areas, if not on all. This place serves excellent flavors in a wide variety in very decent portion sizes for a reasonable price. I can easily even make a salad-like concoction with lots of protein for the same price as something on the menu. Well done Bon Me! There are very few places like you around.“

“Small place with authentic Thai offerings and great service! For appetizers, my wife and I had the shumai and crab rangoons. For entrees we had the pork belly curry and the grilled lemongrass chicken. Delicious and would definitely recommend!“

“Great food! Amazing lunch specials! Too much food I had to take home leftovers“

“I love their food jun our server she is great“

“Excellent service,cheap food and fresh“

“Premium buffet cost less than 40$ with a lot of protein Avbl (Beef brisket, tongue etc). The options for food is plenty and it worths the price. Even single person get treated nicely, which is very good. However it is not friendly for vegetarians, due to the lack of clear indication in their food selection area (some of them might seem to be vegetarian while contain animal products) so be careful.“

“We love Mini Soup Dumpling with Pork (6 pieces), Seafood Noodles in Soup, Beef Basil Fried Rice, and Miso Soup today.
We loved the xiaolongbao, seafood noodle soup, nine-story pagoda beef fried rice and miso soup, and will come back to try the others in the future. Thanks!“

“Highly recommend going here. Friendly staff, great food options, ambience is nice. If you like spicy food, I d recommend chinese sichuan spice broth and mongolian broth, these are my absolute favorites. Seafood platter, I usually ask them to replace what I don’t eat in the platter with some other fish.“

“We had the Biria chicken tacos, ordered a 2nd round cuz they were so good! I had a strawberry margarita - was delicious. Vibe was great around 1100 after a concert at the House of Blues. Will def be back !“

“Giving Chinatown a run for their money right here in Arlington! Fresh food, efficient service, authentic Chinese at an affordable price. This is our goto spot! The place is packed all evenings of the week for good reason. Go here! You won’t be disappointed.

Vegetarian options: Good tofu dishes, eggplant and bok choy for the vegetarians with no compromise in taste!“

“For spicy lovers, Gamjatang and Shrimp Papaya Salad are recommended! Must try!!!“

“Bonchon is a solid choice when you’re in the mood for crispy and flavorful Korean fried chicken! The sides are yummy too, especially the bulgogi fries and the pork belly Baos. Service was quick and friendly, I highly recommend if you’re in the area.“

“Brookline is so lucky to have this local gem in the community!! Super Fusion never misses - I get takeout from here frequently and it's always such a nice experience. The sushi is fresh, delicious, reasonably priced and the people who own this store are such kind folks. The super fusion maki combo and crispy crab wontons are my favorite things to order but I've enjoyed everything I've tried here! I'm always happy to give this place my business - they're really nice people who produce consistently high quality food.“

“Delicious food and clean environment and friendly people here“

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

“This restaurant is dope. The interior is warm and inviting. It’s modern and chic. Definitely an elevated hipster vibe. A chill spot to hang out after work or nice date night. The food is bomb! For apps, I’ve never had a Chinese-inspired arancini. These crispy delights are addicting with their crack sauce. The sauce is a must have on the arancini. The salad is light and refreshing. The Kokoda is a well made dish. I never had blue fin tuna until I came here. The combo with the fresh fish with the acidity from the lemon juice and smooth finish of coconut sauce - oof, worth a try. There’s also another surprise about the Kokoda - there’s something called sea grapes 🍇 and were bursting of flavor and freshness. A nice addition to the dish. I could go for seconds with the Kokoda because it’s a bit small for me. I wish they made it 2x bigger so it could be more shareable with a date or with company. The Maine Uni was surprisingly delicious 😋. I honestly thought it was too expensive but after having it, it was an amazing amuse bouche (the perfect bite). I couldn’t believe that small bite packed so much flavor and complexity. It was balanced and left me feeling happy. Totally worth it. For mains, the pork belly adobo melts in your mouth. So good! The mushroom raviolis are my favorite out of this menu. The salted duck egg sauce is what makes this dish memorable. I would definitely eat this again. The bitter melon ratatouille is not my favorite because it wasn’t seasoned enough for me. It felt as though it was missing salt. The veggies were perfectly roasted though, but it didn’t quite smack like the other dishes. The ribeye is good, but not my favorite. I might be biased because I’ve had better at other places. For desserts, the pandan sorbet is tasty. I’m not a fan of the pandan taste. It’s definitely an acquired taste, but I enjoyed it because I love avocados and bananas and in ice cream form? No brainer. I wished they had a version without the pandan flavoring. I’m curious as to how it would taste then. The matcha cheesecake is surprisingly well-balanced. Not too matcha where it’s overbearing. The matcha is subtle while the richness of the cheesecake smacks just right and not overly sugary. The late night menu - I only tried the Chicharrón taco 🌮. The combo of crispy pork belly and the acidity from the lime is perf. Nothing else to say. Surprisingly really filling. I probably can’t have more than 2 of these tacos and I’m a pretty big guy. The drinks - I love the names and how they have a play on words. The blood orange and the banana espresso are my favorite. These drinks have enough booze and not too much where it’s offensive. Blood orange is enjoyable to drink and the banana espresso is complex with a chocolate finish. Their nice, clean cocktails. Service was awesome! The servers were friendly and quick. They regularly checked in with my wife and me. I don’t think I even had to do the awkward “please help us” lean at all. They were there when you needed them! Amazing 5 star service! You want a culinary experience. This place won’t disappoint.“

“Beautiful dining room. I ordered take out this evening using the Toast App. I mistakenly added a $500 tip instead of a $5 tip because the order went through too fast. I called and explained what happened. The manager called me right back and assured me that he would fix it before closing out. He was so kind, even though they were busy. The food was excellent and the waitress was so kind in packing one dish separately due to a peanut allergy. We will definitely be frequent flyers here.“

“I can’t stop thinking about the moutabel! So delicious! Everything was fantastic! I can’t wait to eat here again!“

“excellent food and friendly staff. I will recommend to everyone. Thanks Karma“

“The food comes out so fast!! My mom & I were flabbergasted at how fast and the high quality of food and service. The owner was sweet too! Get the Crab 🦀 Rangoon and Great Gatsby Sushi rolls 🍣 ✨“

“I didn't have the best experience here recently. The samsa/samosa was chewy and the bread was a bit too thick, but still better than the ones at Jahunger. The dried beef noodles on the other hand were not the best I've had when I ordered takeout. They didn't taste fresh and they stuck together quite a bit, which made me feel like they were cooked earlier in the day.

I've had Ali's separately during an event that catered from their restaurant and found the food to be much better. I don't want to be too harsh given the mix of experiences, but I'd be willing to give them another shot.“

“While their soups aren’t the best, they always have a solid selection of food. I usually go with the VIP option as there is mor variety of meats available. However, their classic option is also a solid choice given their veggies, seafood, and fish ball options.

EDIT: They improved their tomato soup! ❤️ There is a menu update as well but not much was changed.“

“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.“

“We’ve been here multiple times, both for takeout and dine-in and the food is always outstanding and fresh. We’ve tried many different things on the menu, both sushi and Chinese food and everything is great. There is no reason to try any other restaurant- we’ve found our go-to place!!“

“This place is amazing! The food is both delicious and beautifully presented. It looks impressive, and I always order here. The place is always packed with people.

One time, they brought me calamari instead of shrimp, but they quickly fixed it. I really appreciate such great service, and they even treated me to a smoothie as a gesture.

I highly recommend this place! Great food, excellent service – 4 out of 5 stars! ❤️“

“Great food ! 🧡✨ quick responses“

“The service and food were amazing.“

“I ordered the Flat noodle (with beef) , and spring rolls. Tasty! (Er, came out piping hot, so make sure to give it a moment before chowing down). No frill, but a very cool computer takes your order, great for takeout. Sitting down near the window gives a nice view of the Belmont arch and Belmont Center.“

“Great place for great fast food. No complaints.“

“It was our first time here. Sushi was great. Staff was also very pleasant. The restaurant itself was a very nice environment nice seating and lighting. The presentation of the sushi was amazing! It came in a beautifully designed boat steaming with dried ice and beautiful decorations! They had a pretty decent size menu. Absolutely going back.“

“I visited this restaurant with a friend after our trip to the MFA—just a 10-minute walk away. This place exceeded my expectations. Their menu features a variety of meats, including lamb, beef, chicken, and eel. We ordered the beef with onion and the stewed beef with curry—both dishes came in generous portions with fantastic flavor, served with rice and vegetables.

They also offer skewers, and the lamb skewers are the best I’ve had in Boston—only $7.50 for two! The pricing is excellent for the quality and portion sizes. Absolutely loved it—so delicious!“
