50 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Whitestone

“This place surprised me with how good the food is. I loved everything I ordered. I’m a salmon lover, so the “Salmon Lover” nailed it! The Salmon Avocado salad was awesome as well (pictured). I also ordered the Kani Salad. It was so good I ordered a second one!!“

“great sushi and great service“

“This little gem is so New York, and I had the best time here last Saturday night. It’s a tiny space run by a lovely husband-and-wife team that makes the whole experience feel warm and personal. The set menu was outstanding, with so many great flavor combinations, many of them inspired by traditional Nepali dishes. They also offer a thoughtfully chosen wine pairing that complemented the food really well. Service was excellent throughout, and I especially enjoyed hearing the stories behind each dish and the inspiration that went into creating them. Overall, just an outstanding dinner and a place I can’t wait to return to.“

“157 Tavern has been a staple in the area for 10 years and is an excellent choice for parties or group gatherings. You can simply provide them with your budget, and they will curate the menu for you, which makes the planning process very convenient.

Regarding the food:

Grilled Spanish Octopus: Highly recommended. The potato pave is delicious, and the octopus is tender with a perfect charred exterior.

Short Rib with Bone Marrow: The meat is very tender and falls apart at the touch of a fork, though I wish the portion of bone marrow was a bit larger.

King Salmon: Quite tender.

Burrata Cheese: Standard/average.

Caramel Flan: Delicious and beautifully presented.

Overall, it is a great spot for a nice dinner.“

“Large menu selection of veg, non-veg, desi and Indian-Chinese cuisine along with great food quality and professional service are the key factors of success with Aanch. It provides a great family dining experience. All items are curated to ones taste and palette. Would highly recommend for a relaxed evening dining with family and friends“

“This restaurant is absolutely exquisite! The ambiance was everything—such an incredible vibe. Every detail was aesthetically beautiful, creating the perfect atmosphere. The service was a 10/10 from start to finish.
I ordered the vegan eggplant dish, and it was phenomenal—definitely a 10/10! It was my second favorite dish of the night... only because my husband's eggplant stole the top spot. 🤎✨“

“This place is beautiful awesome playlist. I went on a Sunday and there was plenty of parking but I am sure it would be more difficult on a weekday until after 6pm when street parking becomes available. The burger and fries very solid, the el mensajero drink was excellent, I had some toast with ricotta, honey and almonds that was really good as well. It wasnt very crowded but the space is awesome I would like to go back on one of their event days. Overall good experience will come back for sure.“

“What a great find!!! Place was cool inside, food was yummy, we liked it a lot. Staff were friendly and nice. We will definitely go back.“

“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

“Lovely place we enjoyed it it was very cool“

“Loved coming here. Food is tasty and feels like home being in here. Customer service is amazing.“

“Not just the best restaurant at Terminal B, but generally delicious Lo Mein with lots of fresh veggies and the chicken is a great topper!
Service is super friendly and attentive.
It my new regular when I fly out of Terminal B. Also has great views of Flushing Bay and the Main Fountain!“

“The food here is out of this world. Everything is so fresh, tasty, colorful, and delicious. The two sisters who run the place are very kind and again, love the food. Outside of Thailand, this is the best Thai food I've ever had in NYC!“

“After watching a reel on Instagram, I decided to visit this place. The highlight of my experience was the auntie who always greets customers with a smile, showing kindness and taking great care of them. Their top dish is the Momo. I tried the chicken steamed Momo and chicken Chow Mein. The Momo was delicious, but while I enjoyed the Chow Mein, it didn't quite meet my expectations. The place has a great vibe.“

“First time dining at Monkey King and from the minute I stepped in to the restaurant to the minute I left, I LOVED everything!! Manasi, Ian, Thieanna, Kat, Lance, Raj, and Alexa really contributed to making my experience amazing. Thieanna recommended a drink and even changed it up a bit to my liking and it was SO GOOD (I’m picky about alcohol) Kat also had great suggestions for food and I LOVED every single one of them. Everyone’s energy and the ambiance was so lovely. The place is beautiful and they definitely deserve that auto grat+ more.

The mushrooms are a MUST! The cucumbers were refreshing, the shrimp toast was so good with that sauce it comes with!“

“Strange but wonderful fusion food!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Truth Restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service made the visit even better. Aamaris was absolutely amazing—she was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful from the moment we arrived. She made sure we had everything we needed, checked on us throughout our meal, and made us feel truly valued as guests. Her positive attitude and outstanding customer service made our dining experience memorable. Thank you, Aamaris, for going above and beyond! I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend asking for her if you visit.“

“This was full stop the kindest service and best spicy butter chicken I've ever had. They also gave us this sauce flight and crispy cracker situation before the meal that was so increadible (not pictured, we devoured, phone could not eat first. Oops). I will dream of this food and it will haunt me until I can return. Super fast service (food in under 15 min) and a clean restroom. Period.“

“The food is too good. Try any dish it is good. We love the Tomka soup it is too good. The green curry the yellow curry is too good. The staff and the owner are very polite.“

“There’s something incredibly comforting and nourishing about a good coconut chicken hotpot, and Coco Hotpot 皇椰鸡 delivers that experience beautifully. We ordered the Coconut Chicken Set for 2, which came with a half portion of fresh cage-free chicken, your choice of noodles or rice of your choice, and a vegetable platter filled with corn, winter melon, napa cabbage, lettuce, and enoki mushrooms all slowly cooked in fresh coconut water. The portion was honestly perfect for me and my boyfriend satisfying, balanced, and filling without feeling overly heavy. If you want more, they also offer plenty of add-ons to customize your hotpot further.

What makes this style of hotpot so unique is its history and philosophy. Coconut chicken hotpot originates from Hainan cuisine, where food is known for emphasizing freshness, clean flavors, and natural ingredients rather than relying heavily on oil or intense spice. Unlike traditional hotpots that focus on rich broths or chili oils, Hainan-style coconut chicken soup highlights the sweetness of fresh coconut water paired with high-quality chicken. Coconut water naturally contains subtle sweetness and minerals, which creates a lighter and healthier broth that still feels deeply flavorful and comforting.

The experience itself felt very thoughtful and authentic. The server prepares everything tableside for you, which made the meal feel even more special. They first pour the fresh coconut water into the pot and bring it to a gentle boil before adding the chicken. As the chicken cooks, they carefully skim away the scum from the top to keep the broth crystal clear and clean tasting a traditional cooking technique that helps preserve the purity and delicate flavor of the soup.

The chicken turned out incredibly tender, juicy, and naturally flavorful from simmering in the coconut broth. You can truly taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Once we added the vegetables, the soup became even better. The corn released extra sweetness into the broth, the napa cabbage softened and added depth, winter melon gave the soup a refreshing and cooling quality, while the enoki mushrooms brought a subtle earthy umami flavor. By the end, the broth develops into this naturally sweet, savory, and aromatic soup that tastes so comforting yet surprisingly light and healthy.

We chose udon noodles instead of rice, and it was absolutely the right choice. The thick chewy noodles soaked up all that flavorful coconut chicken broth beautifully. Every bite felt warm, silky, fresh, and incredibly satisfying.

They also have a sauce bar available if you want to customize your dipping sauces, though it does come at an additional charge. Personally, the broth itself was already so flavorful that it barely even needed sauce, but it’s a nice option if you enjoy mixing garlic, scallions, soy sauce, chili, or sesame-based dips with your hotpot.

This meal leaves you feeling nourished rather than overly full. Refreshing, healthy, authentic, and genuinely delicious. I also love that their menu offers many other traditional soups and coconut-based hotpots to explore, which makes me excited to come back and try more next time. Definitely a spot worth revisiting if you enjoy clean flavors, comforting soups, and high-quality ingredients.“

“This place is literally amazing. My family and I didn’t have any reservations, but we still got a table and ate when we walked in. It is best to make reservations tho. But our plates were full, they were not stingy with the food at all. And the chef making the food is so kind funny and does a couple cool tricks. I the food is really good 10/10 love this place.“

“Really enjoyed the sushi here! I ordered the Ask Sushi and the Fuji roll, and both were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. All tasted high quality, and the balance of flavors was perfect. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was cozy. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!“

“Wonderful hidden gem. Food was amazing. Combination of classic old world with new world flare. Entire staff worked as a team. Presentation was lovely as well. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely experience.“

“Among my fave spots around. The atmosphere is electric and they play every game! Enjoy their all-day happy hour, when you can receive five shots for $25 to $40 (depending on your poison of choice). The food is more typical of a pub, but it's great for a quick bite and priced friendly! Highly recommended their bulgogi quesadilla. Couldn’t gate-keep any longer!!“

“Looking for the vibe that feels like a Hug from the moment you walk in? Think of them as the Asian Cheers🥂 Being in NYC for a decade Ive seen my share of bars good bad and ugly and I cannot rave enough about Rice K . No matter the day, the family energy is so friendly , festive and fun! From classes to emerse yourself into the community or karaoke to sing with fast friends I am in love and so grateful theyre a part of the best city on earth.“

“OMG. I don't feel like I have adequate words to describe just how amazing this place is.
We got 3 of their signature sushis and they were all out of this world - I really feel like I discovered completely new flavours here! This is a heaven for vegans.

Also: the dark chocolate cheesecake is a must try! It's delicious down to the last bite (we literally ordered it twice haha)“

“Delicious food! Great addition to forest hills. Friendly staff“

“Definitely my go-to spot for the special sauerkraut soup. The spice level is just right—not too mild, not overpowering—and the broth is rich and flavorful. The setting is very casual, which makes it easy to just drop in and enjoy a comforting meal. They even have a little robot helping with the service, which is a fun and cute touch.“

“The food is so gooddd. I have the spicy pork bar buns and the Lemongrass Chicken Bahn MI sandwich. Can you say Delicioussss.love love love. I live in East New York BK and came all the way for thisssss. Never been here before this was my 1st time and I'm going back...#littlemo'sisgood“

“Everything was delicious. I had shrimp toast and a dinner combo: sesame chicken with fried rice, an egg roll, and soup. They made my sesame chicken spicy for me which I appreciated. The portions were generous and the waiter was attentive to all my requests. I would come again.“

“great atmosphere and service. The food was amazing!“

“Overall the The experience was great. The flavors was good so good and Mary was super mery. She was super attentive, even when there was a high volume in the restaurant. I really appreciated everything she did for me and always make sure I feel like she cared.“

“Lovely atmosphere, delicious and generous portions, and quality service“

“Quick, affordable and tasty dry hot pot. You walk in, grab a bowl and tongs, choose your ingredients and hand it over to the cashier to cook. Price is based on weight, but one bowl around 1.5 lb was enough for the two of us. We opted for the “tiny spicy” level and it was just the right out amount of kick — not too spicy but just enough to get you sniffling. The seasoning the chef put it was great too. Highly recommend“

“It is the best Vietnamese noodles place in flushing they don’t use any MSG and the broth is truly top notch!! The most important thing is that the owner is truly kind and you can really feel how much they care about their customers. Iam so happy to have found another favorite restaurant.“

“Had a lovely meal tonight. The three of us shared the Kee Mao with chicken, the Crispy Three Flavors Duck, and the Hat Yai Fried Chicken. The duck and the Kee Mao were the standouts for us. The staff were really friendly, and we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Will happily return to try more dishes!“

“My friend and I wanted some warm soup in the cold winter, so we found this gem around the area!

Really quick service and the owner was so considerate and sweet.

We got the army stew, seafood pancake and steamed dumplings (also can order as fried). Everything hit the spot and we even had enough as leftover to take home as two people eating!

Definitely a really good lunch/dinner spot and will definitely be coming back!“

“Amazing food for the price. The lunch special was 11.95 and it comes with 2 sides. I got the green curry (chicken), tofu soup and vegetable spring roll. Spring roll was your usual the but the tofu soup was great and very flavor. The green was curry was INCREDIBLE. Full of flavor with a hint of spice. The chicken was nice and soft. Very filling and absolutely worth the visit.“

“Sushi and pineapple rice w/shrimp was very fresh. The rice was very tasty better than The Sea!“

“Love Bushniwa, always have great fresh sushi. I got the sashimi chef selection (38$) this time and was a nice combo of white and red fish as well as a spicy tuna roll. The spicy tuna was absolutely amazing, some of the best I've ever had. I always grab some hot sake here too, cheap and good. I also had the crispy salmon toro, which was pretty good but will probably try another appetizer next time I'm there. Recommend to anyone looking for sushi, if you don't have a ton it can be a lot cheaper than what I spent.“

“Definitely check this place out! The owners are so friendly and experienced. The staff is hospitable and attentive as well. Will be back“
