21 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Montara

“My husband and I stumbled upon this place while searching on yelp and driving along HWY 1. It is such a cute tucked away cafe overlooking the ocean. Literally, amazing views!! The owner, Jocelyn, was such a delight to talk to. And her food was even more amazing!We had the tocino plate, adobo loco moco and the bibingka pancakes. We forgot to rate pictures of the first two dishes, but the pancakes, AMAZING. We definitely are going to be visiting more!“

“I have eaten here four times now and every meal is incredible, and for an airport hotel restaurant, truly unbelievable. The hotel is lovely in every way, miles beyond the alternatives. But the restaurant is one of the reasons I stay here whenever I have a morning flight. Tonight had the lobster miso bisque, and the seared scallops, and I don't think I've had better versions of either in a decade. The scallops and the lobster were as tender as they could ever be and the flavors were amazing. Service and ambience is great too. They have wines by the glass that you normally must pay for a bottle - and a first rate twist on a Paper Plane if you're a cocktail person. Be sure to get a table by the window to watch the planes...“

“Delicious vegan food, large portions, nice ambiance, parking is easy and never have to wait. Staff is friendly. Great for catch ups with friends. I will definitely return!! Very close to the airports I got the cauliflower wings (yummy) and two specials (sweet potato lasagna and Lions Mane mushroom brisket). We came in hungry and we left full! We even had some to take back home with us.“

“If you're a foodie like me, you'll love this place! I highly recommend island chicken wings, spam fries, and my favorite, from the oven and straight to our table, served piping hot, Bibinka Cornbread. Delicious! I had to order twice. Don't miss out on their signature dish, the chicken loco moco, braised short ribs over rice, sisig fried rice, and seafood pan roast. We are frequent travelers to the Island, so we know a little about the dishes we tried. With that said, the combo loco moco stole the show for us. The best part of our meal besides the food, of course, was that it came in hot and we got our meal all at the same time. All the little things go a long way in my book. Of course, we ordered their classic go-to, fried bananas served with ube ice cream for dessert. It tasted like when our Lola (grandmother) used to cook for us growing up. It felt like home. Their service was top-notch considering the time we came, which was almost closing time. Kudos to Carmen! She was attentive and polite. We can't wait to come back. Sorry, we did not take photos; you must take my word or visit Hula Hoops.“

“I love this place. Every time I come here they are so friendly. And their food is truly the best. A fusion of Thai, and Chinese cuisine. My favorite dish is the butter garlic crab with french fries. If you order it with a side of garlic noodles it's truly amazing. Their spicy Fried rice has chicken and shrimp in it and is actually very original in taste. Stephanie and Allie have always treated me well. This place is a gathering point of this particular community and most importantly, it's open very late. When everyone else is closed, this is the place you go to for gourmet food when you don't want to have a slice of pizza or fast food. I have met so many good acquaintances here. And this is where I bring guests that are flying in from out of town first. They are right next to the airport......“

“The food here is really, really good. I came here to eat out with a friend of mine and ordered the house garlic noodles, Dungeness crab, and imperial rolls. I can't say much about the service since they gave me and my friend lots of time to catch up, so depending on what you expect, it's pretty good. That's why I gave service 4 stars. Good, but not exactly outstanding. The atmosphere is really nice. I would personally sit on a patio if it's offered, but that's completely your choice.“

“My husband and I have gone here more than a few times, and the service is amazing, fast, and welcoming. The food is always fresh, hot, and full of flavors. The ambiance feels like home it's family-friendly. Definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone!“

“This was the best vegetarian pho I have ever had. The broth was rich and flavorful. The fried tofu was yummy. The noodles were chewy. Personally, I would have preferred smaller carrot chunks, but everything else about the soup was overwhelmingly positive. I would come back again any day of the week.Vegetarian options: There is vegetarian pho and the buddha sandwich.“

“Thai tea is basic, it's reliable, but I wanted to be adventurous and try the green thai tea. I asked them what the difference was, and was told it was a little more floral but it's similar but different depending on who you ask. In my opinion, it was quite different from normal thai tea. It definitey was more floral, but still subtly floral in the general sense. I got it with less ice and 70% sweetness, which was perfect. I do love floral and strong tea tastes and this really hit the spot. It feels like it's high in caffeine content. Tasty! My friend had the coffee drink, which he liked. I tasted a little bit of sea salt in there. The inside of the eatery is pretty big, with an entire back area (where the bathroom is) that you might miss if you're just coming to grab a drink to go. It's a nice place to sit and have long chats with friends.“

“I had been here YEARS ago pretty much right when the opened up for lunch plates and didn't remember it being great. I had a place in Pacifica that I really liked so for years I never went back despite the fact that I live only 2 miles or less away. We were in the mood for chinese and decided to go and check it out on a take-out for dinner. Got a dinner special and it was really pretty darn good. If you want to eat healthy then you will probably need to go off the ala carte menu. But the dinner for 2 was a ton of food and we had leftovers for lunch the next day. For me this is more a lunch plate or to-go as the restuarant is pretty low key but in a pinch i would sit there. They were very nice too which was sort of against what our memory was of the place.“

“De.Lish.Us. Worth the wait for sure. Want sure how to eat it since they brought me a giant spoon, so used it to mix it up then used my sticks. Was super hot (temperature) but tasted great! I'll be back. (Can we turn the heat up inside, though?)“

“Didn't have too much expectations for Ai Grill, but they actually were serving good food!! I enjoyed my dinner thoroughly. Although the portions look somewhat small, they were filling. We ordered an assortment of grilled meats; beef, pork, lamb, and chicken gizzards. We ordered the cooked skewers, make sure you ask them for specific sets that allow you to grill them yourself. We also ordered their whole squid, seafood fried rice, wagyu fried rice, these were also small but tasty. My two favorite from the entire meal were scallops and oysters. I do like this place and will come back to try other stuff.“

“Old school neighborhood Chinese restaurant!The place was empty when we arrived. We were seated promptly. That was the end of the promptness. The waitress showed up eventually and returned a while later to take our order. The food plates came out gradually. We were in no hurry so it was all good for us. Everything was very good. I thought we had bought too much food. But we ate all of it.The building is an old school 1940's? Ish place on the foothills of the inside of the bowl that forms Brisbane. Up slightly from the town below there are large windows with loads of natural light that look out to the small town.I am very sensitive to msg and the staff assured me they add none to their dishes. Indeed I ate hot and sour soup, broccoli beef and other plates that escape me with no problems.If you are nearby I strongly suggest a stop in at NaNa's. She ain't in a rush and neither should you be.“

“The food tastes so delicious. This restaurant operates by a couple, they are so nice to customers. But they didn't hire any staff to take orders/packing the delivery/clean up tables, they do that all by themselves, which I totally understand because the owner told me it is very difficult to run a restaurant after a pandemic, it is impossible to earn any revenue if they hire staff. BTW, one of the best family restaurants in Millbrae San Mateo.“

“In the area and craving sushi. Overall good experience. The restaurant was busy and customers were happy. We ordered the Lion King sushi, the unagi roll (bbq eel rolled like a cone), udon noodles with chicken. The food had some amazing flavors. The noodles were tender and delicious. I asked for some hot seasoning and was given a small bottle with some kind of seasoning salt which was nice and spicy, the Lion king sushi pieces were larger than expected, and the unagi cone was good but different. The restaurant had some cool vibes.“

“They have friendly employees working here—also, a pretty good selection for a location inside the airport. The iced Vietnamese coffee is okay. Not as strong as the Vietnamese restaurants. The food tasted good too! This is not a bad choice inside any airport terminals.Parking: Parking is expensiveWheelchair accessibility: No problem with the wheelchair“

“Momiji’s ramen selection is a treat for the taste buds. Don’t miss their Deluxe Ramen, Black Garlic Ramen, and Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen. Each bowl is a symphony of umami and warmth.Momiji is a hidden gem, waiting to be explored.Recommended for Spicy Deluxe Ramen ? because it come with everything including the karake which I like ?“

“Food is better than most restaurants that offer Filipino food in the area. We had black rice, sisig bangus, and bulalo. Everything was cooked just right, except for the black rice. It's good but we were looking to taste more of the squid ink. Overall we liked how the food was cooked, not too salty, with just the right flavor to taste. At first we were hesitant to go there because our previous experience (years ago) wasn't that good. But the NEW OWNERS definitely turned things around and made it a go-to place for us now. We are planning on being regulars at this resto.“

“Honey milk tea w/ mini boba & mango popping boba (left), Rose milk tea w/ mini boba (right) and sweet potato fries. Loved both drinks!This has been my go to place for boba drinks but for the fried snack options, I wish they were less greasy.Highly recommend the additional topping of mango popping boba for a fun little kick to the drink. They also have the option for a strawberry popping boba.“

“Food and service were great, as always. Ginatang dessert is one of the best I have ever tasted. They can make special dishes, like I did with kawalisilog. The gulaman sago (the original boba drink) was great! We also got free soup while we waited for our order. We always go here when we're in the area; we live over an hour away. There are parking in the rear if you can't find street parking at front.“

“I have been going here ever since it opened.  It is a little pricey but so worth it.   When you walk in the place is pretty big and clean.  You are greeted right away upon walking in.   This time around, we ordered online for pick up and ordered a few items we haven't tried.We ordered:1.  Bulgogi fries - I was surprised how good it was.   I wasn't expecting much since they are known for their chicken.2. Potstickers - Crunchy and soft in the middle. I love how they drizzle the sauce on top.3.   Popcorn shrimp - of course, the shrimp was not the biggest, but it was so addictive. Something about the batter being crunchy and chewy, once you eat one, you can't stop.4.   House fried rice (bulgogi) - very flavorful, but the rice was a little too sticky to my liking and a little too sweet.5.  Korean Fried Chicken with soy glaze - Alwaus got you smacking. It's so crunchy and not overly saucey. This goes great with the pickled radish.6.   Korean donuts - I don't know why, but I had high expectations.  I was disappointed.  It was just a regular sugar doughnut. I was expecting it to be chewier, like with rice flour.  If you're thinking about it,  don't bother. It's not worth the price.Overall,  you can never go wrong with going here.“
