7 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near East Lyme

“This place is always consistently great! The staff are very kind & polite & the service is fast, efficient, thorough & seamless. The food is DELICIOUS! The interior is simple, informal, clean & straightforward. A bit of a modern feel with Formica tables with plastic booths. Typical daylight lighting. There is simple audible (but not too loud) music overhead. Most of it is easy listening Asian music. They have Thai, Japanese & Chinese menu selections here. All executed extremely well! I have several items that I particularly love: Appetizers: 1) Soup dumplings Entrees: 2) Combination Bo Bun (grilled shrimp, bbq pork) 3) Salt & Pepper Shrimp 4) ANY PHO 5) Mei Fun: All YUMMY!RECOMMENDED!“

“We came here for lunch, which they have everyday specials, and it was very good. Everyone was super friendly. They have 3 hibachi grills and really great sushi. The popcorn lobster roll was fantastic if you like a good crunch and sauce with your sushi roll. I would definitely recommend.“

“A unique opportunity to try Sri Lankan food in an intimate dining space. I am not sure I have ever seen a Sri Lankan spot! Our server was super helpful in describing the traditional dishes and making recommendations based on our preferences. We ordered three dishes to get a fair sampling of the cuisine and also the benefit of having great leftovers for the next day as well. We got the Kottu Roti, Lump Rice, and the Stew all with a spice level of mild, which was perfectly enjoyable. Everything was delicious but the Stew was the favorite. I cannot wait to stop back again. We saw a few platters pass by that we added to the mental list for next time!“

“One of the most intimate lounges I’ve ever been to! Such a great vibe with unique dishes that have a southeast Asian flare. They have an amazing cocktail program as well. The staff was friendly and attentive during our time there. There aren’t many places like this in CT, let alone New London! A great spot for a date night or to come see the live music they offer on the weekends.“

“We come here typically for dim sum which is decent. Today, we thought we'd try the "3-course" Peking Duck. Well, it's more like 3-serving-piece Peking Duck. Three courses should be: (1) duck skin with pancakes or buns, (2) duck meat stir-fry, and (3) duck soup made from the carcass. Don't order this and be disappointed like us. This is a 1-course Peking Duck. The skin is not crunchy but it's hard to expect much in rural CT. The duck skin is more like roast duck skin, slightly chewy, little crispy in parts if you're lucky. They explained that the "3 courses" are the buns (in steamer), the cucumbers and scallions, and the carved duck - very funny interpretation of "courses". Shouldn't the hoisin sauce count as a course too?“
