50 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Waltham

“I ordered through Uber Eats from here, and I liked the food! The wings could be a little crispier, but they tasted good! The fries come with a lot of seasoning, but they could also be a little crispier. Overall, not a bad place to get dinner from!“

“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.“

“Katlynn B. is absolutely wonderful! She's always so attentive and friendly, and truly makes our visits special. We always hope to get her section when we come in because she just elevates the whole experience. Definitely a reason we keep coming 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!“

“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 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!“

“Good food, nice atmosphere!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great fusion food. Innovative dishes. Greet service. Enjoy Mediterranean and Indian fusion food“

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

“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“

“I truly loved this place, the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, helpful with suggestions on making food choices, all food was prepared and served with the freshest ingredients, hot, large portions, spicy pickled radish, pork fried rice and Happy family, strongly suggested, drinks were made with fresh juice, not syrupy, a big plus, you gotta try this place, I will definitely be back with more friends, ♥️♥️“

“Great date night please the small cozy spot. It’s very difficult to get walking. It’s better to do a reservation earlier. The burgers were extraordinary. I even like that cocktails. The only problem was getting parking around that area.“

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

“Got lunch here for the first time while working on the field in the Harvard IT department. I work around the West Campus a lot so I'm looking for more lunch spots. The kiosk is easy to use and navigate, the wait time was short. The pho was great and made for a nice warm bowl of broth and noodles in this cold weather. The noodles are well cooked. The broth was hot and had good seasoning. Lots of toppings and meat. My note of no lime and ginger was fulfilled.

However, my only complaint is that I also ordered a Brown Sugar boba milk tea and had to immediately spit it out as the taste of spoiled milk hit. I had my colleague at the office try it and he too also noticed it didn't taste like Brown Sugar boba milk tea and compared it to spoiled milk. I'm not going to give a 1 star because the review doesn't deserve that, but just a -1 for my drink. Might try again another day...but thanks for reading my review!“

“This restaurant was recommended to us. Hand rolled noodles isn’t something you can get in rural Maine. The noodles we delicious. The waitstaff was attentive. The restaurant was clean and lively. They customized a dish for my daughter (no spice) and her dish was just as flavorful considering they omitted items. We tried an assortment of appetizers and main entrees and my only recommendations would be to get a side of rice for a $1 so you can soak up all the delicious sauce and flavors. Even the tea was good. Bathroom was clean. Food was fresh. And try the thousand layers honey cake. I think everyone will find something to like here. If I am ever in Providence, I will 💯 go again.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“This is my go-to restaurant in Concord for special occasions. They're very good with allergies and avoiding cross contamination, and every dish I've had has been perfectly cooked (apart from the sashimi, LOL). It's a little pricey, but so is everything in Concord. My friends and family have enjoyed eating here as well.“

“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!“

“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 !“

“I get the same thing every time I go and I absolutely love it. The waitress that we normally have, I forget her name. She always makes some sort of recommendation. So we do get something new each time. I trust her recommendations. I love there, mule, drink. You can just always come on hot, fresh, tasty food. Each and every time“

“Happy Lamb in Cambridge is my preferred location in Massachusetts.

I've been going to this location for quite some time now, and it never disappoints.

I always look forward to going because of the consistency of the flavor, atmosphere, and the great customer service that is provided amongst the entire staff.

I would like to single out three ladies that always go above and beyond to make sure that everything is up to the best standards. These ladies are Stephanie, Julissa, and Adrianna. They always have a smile on their face, are extremely kind and attentive. They make the experience always enjoyable for myself and my friends/family. It's always a wonderful restaurant experience and with them it feels like I'm visiting family for dinner with their warm welcoming back.

I really appreciate that level of service that Stephanie, Julissa, and Adrianna always provide. I always look forward to seeing them, and they are a great asset to Happy Lamb in Cambridge.

Thank you for all of your hard work.

I can't wait to go back and see you all.“

“Food was very good and fresh. It can be confusing getting inside the complex, but the restaurant itself is very clean. Ordering was easy and quick (kiosk), and the worker at the front was kind to offer assistance. Came for $1 wing day (limit is 15 but I can’t eat that many).“

“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 🍣 ✨“

“Don’t be fooled by the somewhat outdated interior and hole in the wall feel. The focus here is on the food!

Good quality fish, creative rolls, and efficient service. The price-to-value ratio can’t be beat. Tastes that much better with the reasonable prices. Note that you can tell the fish is not top-notch quality, but it hits all the right notes for an everyday sushi craving. Some rolls are more outstanding than others. My favorite so far was one that incorporated crunchy tempura bits into the minced tuna topping (forgot the name!).

We loved our recent visits so much that we’re getting platters from here for a holiday party. I’m pretty sure they’re going to be a hit.“

“Green curry was fresh and delicious and the Thai basil rice , not heavy in oil but looks of flavor. Especially for New Year’s Eve. Everything taste very good and fresh.“

“This is such a hidden gem! We ordered chicken pad thai, shrimp fresh rolls and pad see ew. The broccoli was super fresh and perfectly cooked. Chicken was tender. The fresh roll was HUGE. The heart stickers on the boxes was such a sweet touch. Fresh, delicious and great value for the money. The space is small, just a few tables. More of a takeout spot. Will definitely order from here again. If they could add Pad Woon Sen to their menu, I would be super excited!“

“We’ve been coming here since the pandemic where we first got take out. The food is always great with good level of Sichuan numbing spice which complements the food flavor. Our favorite dishes are the mapo tofu, twice cooked pork, mala fish, and chengdu spicy chicken. Best to eat in! The owners are very nice and always welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“The bone-in-wings are off the hook!“

“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.“

“Delicious food and clean environment and friendly people here“

“Highly recommended! Super delicious and nice service :)“

“This place is so good. Best Uyghur food I’ve had in New England. We tried 6 entrees and enjoyed all of them. The only thing we weren’t a fan of were the dumplings and samosas because they’re very cumin forward. We received our food really quickly as well. If you’re looking for a halal Asian food spot check them out“

“Wanted to try their lunch specials. The portions were very large and reasonably priced. You get only white rice and soup with your Entree. Portions are big enough to share. Big choice of classic Chinese food. You would need to order appetizers extra if you want it. Fried rice is on the dinner menu, but lunch is only white rice. Dinner portions are large enough to share. Next time we will order one dinner entree, one order fried rice or lo-mein, and one appetizer about the same price as 2 lunches.“

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

“Great place for americanized sushi and jazz. We went with a group specifically to see some live music. Sushi was nothing crazy, but still good. I can't speak for every night, but the night we went in particular, the live music was amazing.“

“Cozy place with window seating, I can't wait to eat here more often! I got the brisket noodle soup and, while it wasn't piping hot as I'd liked, the brisket was tender, there was soybean curd, and the perfect combination of 5 spice, crispy garlic, and peppers. Very worth the promised 15 minute wait - they should add another crew member because that phone was RINGING so you know people love this place!!
Chewy boba - it was a divine eating experience“

“We've always wanted to try this place and we finally got a chance to try it. It did not disappoint! We tried the Fresh roll with avocado, red curry, both were great! The drunken noodles stole the show. They were amazing. Great service, ambience. Highly recommended!“

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

“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!!“

“Came here with my dad and brother, all three of us love the food we ordered and the staff are super friendly too. Definitely will visit again!“

“Food is very flavorful! Truly a hole in the wall and found it by chance cause we didn't want to eat inside Natick Mall.
The tom yum was flavorful with a kick, it's on the sweet side which I like. The curry with the duck is very tasty. No fancy decoration or table setting. Nice staff and good tasting Thai food, no BS! 👍“
