50 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Mercer Island

“best Peking duck, great atmosphere, friendly staff. highly recommend the ginger onion fish fillet and lamb chops!“

“Amazing food and staff was great!“

“Stateside was simply fun and excellent. A nice selection of cocktails, including a couple of nice NA cocktails. The food was innovative and delicious. We had the ribs, the sticky rice balls, and the trout. It was all excellent and and well presented. We will definitely go again our next time in Seattle!“

“We used Buddha Brudda catering for our wedding at Treehouse Point in July 2025. Not only were Drea and the entire team incredibly easy to work with leading up to the day, but the food was FANTASTIC, and the whole dinner service and bartending staff were so kind and accommodating the day of.

We worked with Drea to customize a menu that fit our needs, which included family-style service instead of buffet, which worked beautifully for our small group of 20 guests. We also opted for pre-dinner appetizers (charcuterie cones, egg rolls, etc) and late-night snacks (sliders, mac salad cups) for our overnight guests, which everyone LOVED!!

Keep in mind they do not do linens, plates/cutlery (beyond bamboo/plastic) or glassware, but were extremely accommodating by picking up/dropping off our rental order from a nearby events company. It was a HUGE help and one less thing for us to arrange.

Our guests absolutely loved the food - all of the appetizers, dinner, late night snacks, and on-the-fly sangria the bartender made with wine/tea/lemonade was fantastic.

I highly recommend Buddha Brudda for your catering needs if you want a relaxed, yummy, yet elegant dining experience!“

“We were looking online for the best lunch spots in seattle. I came across this place deep in a reddit thread. The #22 salmon and tuna bowl was INCREDIBLY fresh, light, and delicious. We got here a bit before lunch time on a Monday and had our food by the time we were done paying. EXCELLENT CHOICE.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best wings in Seattle, hands down! We stopped at Golden Rooster on our way to the Seahawks game, and it was a game-changer. Walking in, the vibe was electric and welcoming, setting the tone for what would be an incredible meal. We were lucky enough to get a taste of the Korean BBQ wings (I think it was the owner who brought them over as samples!), and wow – they were beyond tasty. Those flavors sealed the deal, and we immediately ordered 30 wings, plus their sweet potato fries and some chicken strips. Everything was top-notch!

The wings were crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor, and the sweet potato fries were the perfect side. This place is a must-stop spot in Seattle, and it's officially our go-to before every Hawks game. Highly recommend Golden Rooster for anyone looking to kick off their night with amazing food and a killer atmosphere!“

“Our goto special burger place“

“One of the most interesting and flavorful combinations in the Seattle area. Amazing“

“Fabulous venue! Show was funny, food and drinks were great and the waitresses were fabulous.“

“My grandsons say this is the best food they have ever eaten in their whole life. The fried chicken was perfectly crisp yet perfectly moist; the short ribs were exquisite; the pot stickers and sushi were great. We loved our flavors, food, and experience and will always come back. One grandson says he would take a plane from anywhere in the world just to come back here.“

“What a charming place! We stumbled upon this gem on a drive thru Seattle on our way home. The food was good and service was attentive. The Meatloaf Moco Loco was INCREDIBLE. The homemade gravy was amazing. The Chili Fry Bread was good but I wasn't expecting the turkey chili to have the bit of sweetness that it did, so buyer beware. The fry bread itself was very good. They only have soda by the can so can get expensive for someone who drinks a few during a meal (looking in the mirror on this one).
It's kind of a small space and was crowded but didn't feel oppressive. There are only few large tables so parties of more than 4 might have trouble finding a table, or just be prepared for a wait. They turn over the 2 tops pretty quickly.“

“THE FOOD IS THE BEST! I LOVE HOW THEY PUT YOUR FOOD ON A SHELL QUALITY TRAY AND THE DESIGNS INSIDE THE PLACE. THERE IS ALSO A BATHROOM IN THE PLACE TOO. THE RESTAURANT IS HECKA SMALL BUT I HAVE TO SAY THE CONDITION IN THE BATHROOM IS ALRIGHT, NOT THE BEST AND SMALL. ORDER A BANH MI FROM THE LARGE SELECTION IN THE MENU.“

“Amazing all around!

Clean, well lit restaurant. Even peeking into the kitchen, I could tell they take cleanliness seriously.

Service? Attentive and friendly. Also gave good suggestions and explanations, which was helpful.

The food? STAR OF THE SHOW. Wow! I had the Mala Pho with beef. The flavor is amazing and multi layored. Yes, it's spicy, but the flavor is so good that I couldn't stop, even after sweating! Broccoli and Bok choy are popping with freshness, the beef is tender, and the noodles are perfectly cooked so that they are soft & silky without becoming mushy. My wife had the Lemongrass Bowl. She loved it so much that there wasn't a single morsel left! My daughter, who doesn't typically like anything outside of mac-n-cheese and chicken fingers, tried some of my wife's dish, and she really liked it!

We also had the chicken skewers and the garlic wings as appetizers. My daughter, who is very picky, loved the wings! Crispy on the outside, tender & juicy on the inside. The chicken skewers were delicious as well.

Lastly, I treated myself to a couple of the Meekong Mules-- a Vietnamese take on a Moscow Mule. The fresh basil makes all the difference, and it's wonderfully refreshing!

If we lived in Seattle, we'd be regulars for sure. Visited twice in our five day stay already and might go again tonight!“

“this place is awesome. good food, good drinks, good service. dang, Seattle , you got some good food.“

“So good. Jappanese, Korean, Chinese, they're doing it all. Portions are big. We went 2 days in a row despite there being 100 other restaurants nearby. Got a spicy teriyaki bento box one day, and General Tao the next. Both were excellent. All meals come with mixed greens and a nice vinagrette, and potstickers. Just go, you wont regret it.“

“Can I live here?! Everything about this place screams fabulousness! From the delish food and sparkly foo-foo drinks, to the magical decor, to the attentive and festive team of servers and behind the scenes help. My daughter and I were so incredibly spoiled and we had such a wonderful experience. Brandon was absolutely amazing and loved his style and flair as well! A thousand thank-you’s!“

“Best Cambodian Restaurant in Seattle. Large traditional menu with non traditional items along with beer, wine, and boba“

“A very nice experience today with nice service and nice ambience. I'm not a big sushi fan but there are many other nice options too here. 5 out of 5.“

“The Chirashi was phenomenal! The assortment of sashimi was fresh, vibrant, and artfully presented. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for something satisfying and elegant. I’ll definitely be back for more.“

“I’ve visited the restaurant for a few times now and I am thrilled to have a XinJiang restaurant in town, and located so conveniently in GreatWall Mall with Ranch 99. My favorite is lamb skewers, so tender and delicious. The Big Plate Chicken and Lamb Soup are also tasty and so flavorful. Especially the noodle in the Big Plate Chicken is a hit, so chewy and fresh. It definitely worth revisiting.“

“Great food and friendly service. Love that all seafood options are sustainably-sourced!“

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“Me and my partner went here on our trip to Seattle. We have thought about it for months and have tried plenty other restaurants than just don’t compare — it was the best thing we had ever tasted!! The service was good, although it’s do-it-yourself style. Can’t wait to come back one day.“

“This place is inside the Ramada’s lobby.

Online says open until midnight, the menu says 1030p and the sign in front the restaurant says 11p. Anyways, we got there maybe 1130pm-ish and it was a one man show at this time! Welcoming and funny guy!

We ordered the wonton mein, beef pho and fried spring rolls. Everything tasted good, for a late night dinner! The wontons had that authentic flavor…it was good!

We paid in cash, but had to check the change.

Planning on doing breakfast here!“

“Ordered a pork Banh mi it was good, wished it had few more strands of cilantro but otherwise it was pretty good. Ordered Thai iced tea and a taro bubble tea, both great! I wasn’t a fan on their broth, I usually get flank meat but they only have steak. Will be back for more Banh Mi and drinks!“

“Soy garlic chicken was pretty tasty, well cooked, and good flavor but surprised the “bowl” didn’t come with rice. FYI the side of rice is instant rice… nonetheless the value for the bowl size is great- so much chicken! Could’ve shared a regular size bowl with 2 people.

Two standing tables only- more a grab and go type place. Wish they had more proper seating and fresh rice options included.“

“We have been trying to go to this spot for 3 years lol. Been unlucky every time we try coming. We ordered the Papaya Salad, Beef Skewers, Kuyteav, and Lort Cha. The Papaya Salad from spicy levels 1-5 3 is crazzzy hot but the salads good. Kuyteav was super good, brother nice and not super savory. But to have an idea of whats in it would be helpful for future customers. Beef skewers were perfect as Cambodians know how to grill that beef. The best dish of the day that I had was the Lort Cha where the noodles are finely made into needles like shapes and from the squid to the nice sweet fish sauces tasting fried egg, you were on the road for success lol. To finish off the day we had some smoothies mango and avocado. Got some pictures, wish I took more. For the 4 dishes plus the smoothies were about $116. (DO NOTE, Khmer food is a delicacy type of food which some cases takes a while to prepare unlike other Asian foods.) So some of the pricing may look crazy expensive for some but in a way, understanding. Loved it.

Tips to improve would be to add utensils, napkins, small things as this is still up and coming.“

“My wife and I have been coming to this wonderful teriyaki restaurant for a while now, and it has never disappointed us. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The owners and staff are incredibly kind, making every visit feel welcoming.

Recently, we ordered a large platter for a special occasion, and it was absolutely amazing! Every bite was delicious, and you could tell the quality and effort they put into their food.

This place truly deserves more recognition. If you’re looking for great teriyaki and a place that genuinely cares about its customers, please support this local gem. You won’t regret it!“

“Real beef and chicken pieces. Enough for two meals. Perfect sauce and perfect salad dressing.“

“Went here with my family. We had reservations so we were able to go in right away (there was a lot of people waiting). The drinks were really good and the food was awesome! Our waitress was very nice and suggested to split burger before we even asked (our family likes to share). We even made a reservation in two weeks to take other friends there! Definitely recommend!“

“My favorite restaurant in Seattle! Hot Bop for life :)“

“Really enjoyed grabbing lunch here! They have a great mix of food and I definitely appreciate their healthier options. Always very clean and the owners are super friendly as well. Would definitely recommend stopping by for a quick bite, especially during the workday“

“Best sushi. Joe is an exceptional sushi chef. His support staff are incredible. Vintage stereo equipment and vinyl records on the walls. Don’t miss out.“

“Their lunch grill options are amazing and at affordable prices! We love the food which comes out nicely and also tasty, service was amazing. It was not noisy at alland had a great time here. Highly recommend if you are looking for a kbbq for gatherings“

“Beautiful decor great food,and super delicious food I think this will be a great addition to Belltown.“

“Great service, Great atmosphere and most of all....a great bartender! 🍻👍...love you Miss Nana!“

“Shiva provided the best service I’ve ever had at a sushi restaurant. Michael came in to relieve him and made sure we were fully satiated with our meals. Both Shiva and Michael gave us a great conversation and delicious food. Some of the best presented sushi as well. I’ll definitely be back. I would give this a 10⭐️if I could.“

“Last time I ordered a super value single meal at Haidilao Seattle, it was just right! I chose the spicy hot pot with clear oil, which was spicy enough but not too irritating, and served with Angus beef, which was cooked in 8 seconds. The meat was tender and juicy, super satisfying! The portion was just right, and it wouldn't be wasted if I ate it alone, and I felt so happy after eating it~😋“

“Very nice folks run this place! They are always so happy and kind! Great energy here! Great food! So delicious! Quick service and good prices for how much food they give you!

Parking: Has its own lot, but there are only a few spots. It's such a good place to eat that it's always full! :)

Kid-friendliness: Could not be more friendly! Not just with children, but everyone, including my service dog!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp for people in need of one.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Absolutely amazing food & mimosas! Definitely 5 star service!“

“Chicken was overcooked and oversauced. Slaw salad also too much sauce, also not tangy just sweet mayo (personally not my thing). It definitely wasn’t bad, but could be so much better. I want you guys to step it up. Take some pride in it. And play some music it was deathly silent. 4 stars is being generous fyi but I don’t want to be mean.“

“We were actually on our way somewhere else to eat when we saw Joy Box and the menu. It looked good so we walked in. The food was so good. The portions are HUGE. Great value for the money. We had the seafood ramen which was super spicy in a good way and full of flavour. We had the katsu chicken bento box which was full of wonder things to try like fried dumplings, spring rolls, noodles, rice and of course katsu chicken. We had fried dumplings and beef bulgogi. Everything was delicious. The restaurant was clean and the vibe was nice. The staff was good. We highly recommend this place.“

“I had a hankering for udon soup, and Grain House delivered (and then some). The beef was good quality, and they went to the effort of packaging the soup separately from everything else so the noodles didn't get soggy. The basic house salad was also very affordable ($2.50) and delicious.

When I came here last August, I got the Crazy Sandwich cut roll and it was also delicious. And it came in the form of adorable little triangle sandwich slices. 10/10 would eat here again.“

“I've passed this restaurant on the way to work every day for MONTHS, telling myself I'm going to stop by one day. That day was today and I could not be more pleased. Definitely recommend the chicken of course, the mandu (fried dumplings), and the spring rolls. For drinks definitely try the Honey Citron Tea; AH-mazing! I was so upset for not coming in sooner but I will definitely be back. Customer service was top tier!“

“Supporting a family business has never been as enjoyable as at this hole-in-the wall cafe. You can tell the place is beloved by regulars and makes you want to become one. You immediately feel welcomed the moment you enter and the service and food quality is impeccable.

Kid-friendliness: A quiet, casual spot where you know a child could find something to eat they will enjoy.“

“My favorite restaurant in all of Belltown!!! The food is only topped by the amazing and sweet staff they have. ❤️“

“Customer Service, a great selection of food, the casual layback atmostphere, enjoy the food, don’t rush. Have a good wine selection so step outside of the box and try a wine you never had before, the waiter can suggest. The prices are good, but remember the serving are large, you will not leave empty. This is a must place to go, you will enjoy it, and will come back.“

“This has been somewhere I've been looking to try for a while, especially the Loco Moco Scotch Egg, which is what I ordered
The dish is an fascinating combination of a couple different things - Loco Moco, which is a hamburger patty with egg and white rice, and a Scotch Egg, which
is a boiled egg wrapped in ground beef, that's then deep fried.

This leans more onto the Scotch Egg part of things, as it's a fried & breaded ground beef ball with a soft-boiled egg in the middle, but the Loco Moco part of it is that it comes over rice and with gravy, and also mac salad

For me, the concept of this dish ended up being more interesting than the actual result
There were certainly some highlights. The egg was perfectly soft-boiled with a slightly runny yolk inside, the ground beef tasted quite good, and the mac salad was especially excellent - it had a certain spice to it that was delightful
The gravy was fine, but nothing special

The main issue was with the breading of the beef. It was really soggy, to the point that it just didn't taste like anything except like a covering that was wet from the gravy. There wasn't the slightest hint of crunch, or anything more than a damp blanket over the beef. Since the breading comprised a large portion of the volume of the meal, since there wasn't much to like about it, this lowered the overall experience
Also, the rice was on the drier side. This got better after mixing with gravy, but it was not great at the start

We also got the fried cauliflower as an appetizer - and this was decent - the upper parts were a bit lacking in sauce, but the light breading worked wel here

The price was on the expensive side, as it was $40 per person. The portions are decent, but not overwhelming. I think there are cheaper spots all along Chinatown that work better if you're looking for value

Overall, it's an interesting concept, but there are some issues here that prevent it from being a spot I really enjoyed. 7/10“

“Thanks to a jacked rotator and a shoulder injury that refuses to quit, I've become way too familiar with the polyclinic hospital this year. It's not exactly where I imagined spending my time, but there's one saving grace: this little eatery on the first floor that makes the trip almost worth it.

Their spicy Spam musubi and vanilla latte? Absolute perfection. The musubi is hands down the best I've had outside of Hawaii--it's like a warm, delicious hug from my childhood. Honestly, I've never been tempted to order anything else. When you find something this good, why complicate your life? But I have to admit, the rest of the menu does look pretty fantastic. Maybe one day I'll be adventurous... but probably not.

The space may be small, but it's always buzzing with good energy and the people that work here are awesome. If you're stuck making a polyclinic doctor's office run, this is the kind of place that makes the detour feel like a win.“
