Asian Fusion Restaurants near Potomac

“We really enjoyed our dine-in meal of: Thai green curry with shrimp, Szechuan green beans, Triple delight and pan fried noodles with shrimp. Everything was delicious! The new decor is lovely and the staff are very welcoming. Looking forward to trying the home-made dumplings next time.“

“We go to this place pretty often and also periodically order a take out. Their food is very good. Actually, they have one of the best Pad Thai in the area, which is very unexpected for a fusion restaurant. Their soups are not bad either except of ramen. The portions are large. I really like people at this place, they are very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, sometimes the service is pretty slow, and there is also something with the acoustic in the dining area. You can hear everything people are saying at the other tables, and if there is a large and loud company, the noise level becomes unbearable.“

“I recently had the pleasure of trying the Joelle Metallic custom raspberry cocktail at this fantastic restaurant, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment the drink arrived at my table, I was captivated by its exquisite presentation, adorned with a shimmering raspberry garnish that added a touch of elegance. The first sip transported my taste buds to a world of pure bliss. The balance of flavors was impeccable - the sweetness of the raspberries perfectly complemented by a subtle hint of tanginess, and the mixologist's expertise shone through in every drop. It was evident that only the freshest and highest quality ingredients were used to craft this extraordinary cocktail. The Joelle Metallic was not only a feast for the senses but also a work of art. The attention to detail in its creation showcased the passion and creativity of the restaurant's team. The glassware itself was a thing of beauty, enhancing the overall experience. The service at the restaurant was outstanding as well. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, making sure my dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. If you find yourself at this restaurant, do not miss the opportunity to try the Joelle Metallic. Whether you're a cocktail enthusiast or simply looking for a unique and refreshing drink, this custom raspberry concoction will leave a lasting impression. My visit was truly unforgettable, and I can't wait to return for another round of this splendid cocktail!“

“The servers were so sweet! Also, the decor is so cute at this location. As a meat eater, I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. My favorite dish out of the things I ordered was the leek bianca pizza. The dough was cooked to perfection! I miss white sauce pizza so much since I gave up dairy, and this near hit the spot for me.“

“When I tell you my toes curled at first bite it would not be an understatement...our server Faith made me feel as if I was the oyster and the food was my pearl. Will definitely come again for the roti. This sheer joy and euphoria I experienced with Faith as my server is second best to that of my 3rd wedding.“

“Oh my gosh where do I start? The food is amazing as usual and the mini pork belly bao buns were so tasty and the loaded tots paired with the Yuzu Palmer drink is a match made in heaven. I loved the dessert here too especially the birthday cake loaf and this is gonna be my go to place every week and the owner is super kind and exerts positive energy and amazing customer service to make everyone feel welcome! That beef krapow empanada with that sauce was right on the money!!“

“Some of the BEST, freshest, most DELICIOUS food I have ever had!!!! I’d give a solid 10 stars if I could, the Beef Bulgogi was amazing and my boyfriend got a Shrimp Tempura burrito…. They were both great, and also perfect looking!!!!! I’ll definitely go out of my way to come back here!“

“I've been to this place two times now, and it is definitely a spot that I would recommend. So, why 4 stars... because I don't eat pork or beef, and this limits what I can try. I o wish they had more veggie options.However, everything I tried from this place has been really good. I was surprised at how good their Kimchi Pancakes (KP) are - usually, KP at restaurants are forgettable, and these were anything but.The Tofu Bao Buns are great. The shrimp burger is REALLY good. The fish tacos were ok, I wish there was more kimchi on them. They also make their own kimchi!It's a really nice and quaint spot that I'm going to make sure I tell other about.Vegetarian options: I wish they had more vegetarian options. I believe there are probably 3-5 vegetarian dishes. However, they may accommodate removing meat & eggs from their Bi Bim Bap.“

“These are the friendliest people in the food business. The food is good, served quickly and always with a smile, respect, and sometimes even a song. This has been a standard lunch spot for me ever since I started working in Tysons every day.“

“After hearing great reviews, we were eager to try out this restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful ambiance. The Thai design elements, including large fixtures on the ceiling, added a unique touch to the décor. While the food looked and tasted good overall, it was a bit too sweet for our personal preference. Nevertheless, the service was fantastic and contributed to a great overall experience.“

“This place is always packed, and there's a reason: It is amazing. Our go to is the bubba, yummy Yama and pan fried gyoza. It's right up there with the best sushi we've ever had. And they also have subtle touches, like they put the gyoza in styrofoam containers, and then they poke holes in the styrofoam to make sure the gyoza stays crispy and doesn't soften with its own steam. Also, they will hold open the doors for you if your hands are full with a carry out order. Such nice touches!“

“Rich’s Cafe is an absolute gem! From the moment you step-in, you’re greeted with warm smiles from Sunny and her husband, and the smell of delicious hot paninis and Korean dishes. My to-go menu are the mambo sandwich (has a spicy kick), bulgogi bowl (marinated Korean beef with veggies on rice), and bibimbap (rice with seasoned veggies and protein). They open early and the breakfast menu is great as well!“

“Treated my cousin to Sweet Ginger for his birthday and we were both amazed by the quality and quantity of food we received for the price paid. We made it easy for our patient and attentive waiter by ordering two Thai iced tea and the Bento Box A with beef teriyaki. Everything was cooked and prepared to perfection. Starting with the Thai iced tea; which was almost like a dessert. So smooth and sweet! It complimented the meal. The miso soup was comforting and had a balanced ratio of broth, tofu, greens, and green onion. The salad was fresh, crisp, and dressed with a rich and tasty peanut dressing. Of course, the highlight of our meal was the incredible bento boxes. The tempura shrimp and vegetables were my favorite. They were breaded to ideal crispiness and paired well with the soy dipping sauce. The vegetables were one big broccoli floret and large sliced carrot and zucchini medallions. The teriyaki steak was scrumptious, served on a bed of cabbage slaw with a generous amount of sauce. There was enough for me to dip other box components into, like the California rolls, tofu, and the Japanese dumpling. We dusted off everything. Not even the leftover salad dressing remained because we drank it all up! The whole experience was so much fun and we had a blast. Can't wait to go back. We left feeling satisfied and can add this to our list of happy memories!“

“We were here very recently and enjoyed every aspect of our meal. Very homely, fresh vibes with clean tables and decorative plants spread throughout. Waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. Food came out fast (appetizer first), then meals. Not a ton of rice, but meal portions were large! We had the crispy green beans, chicken green curry, and fried pork. Everything was delicious, vegetables tasted so fresh and each dish, so flavorful. Curry was incredible, but will likely order spice level 2 next time as 3 was just slightly too hot (but not unbearable).Thai iced tea offered a sweet balance to the savory and spicy flavor from the food.Looking forward to coming back and trying some more of the authentic thai dishes!“

“Great, friendly service! I had a lot of questions about the food and they answered patiently. Food was sooo good. My first Bing impressions: delightful and satisfying. Rose milk tea was divine as well. Looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for a great experience.“

“Love the Asian Fusion Bowls with the tasty big flavors Salads with Asia flavor, they have kimchi, purple rice, Asian spiced meats and dressings. It's one of my favorite places in the Rockville/Bethesda Area. When I'm in the mood for a salad with pizazz, this is the place I go. I get the child-size for lunch and the full size salad for dinner. The service is good, the last time I stopped by, I received a free miso soup. Thank you, for the generosity.I love their variety of teas and juices. They have table downstairs, tables upstairs and some outside. One of my favorite dessert that they offer, is the coconut milk pudding, it's so creamy and delicious. I hope they bring this back soon. Located on the outer edge of the Pike and Rose neighborhood, and close by to the garage this is a lunch favorite pick up spot for me. I can't wait until Spring when they have table outside and I'll be able to enjoy my lunch and watch the crowd go by.“

“I really like the food here, especially the bulgogi and chicken teriyaki boxes. The complimentary sides you get with the box are quite refreshing, especially the kimchi, which I ended up finishing in one bite. The meats here are quite succulent, and I love how the juices drip onto the rice to create this popping, umami flavor. Green tea here was a nice refresher to satisfy my hunger.“

“Great food, we ordered 2 starters and 2 entrée and they all were very flavourful. Chicken tikka pizza was good and so was the veg biryani. Biryani items were not present in menus or I wasn’t able to see them but the server helped us with it. We asked for extra hot and they made it well, try extra hot only it you can withstand it else go for mild or medium. And yes, all entrées is served along with white rice.They have few types of Indian beers priced reasonably at $6-$7 range.Overall, the place though is small it has good food and priced well.Vegetarian options: Veg Korma, Paneer tikka masala, lentil soup, veg pakora, veg biryani.“

“First vegetarian restaurant I've been to and I enjoyed it! A friend of mind was visiting and wanted to go to this place, I'm no stranger to trying new food so I was game. Place has a real mom and pop feel and is located in Vienna. It's located in its own building on near the intersection of Nutley and Chain Bridge Road (Maple Ave). The folks there were really nice and helped me understand the items on the menu, I had no idea was burdock but the owner was really helpful in explaining what it was. The food came out great, I actually would go here again even though I am more of a omnivore.“

“The food here is excellent. It takes 15-25 for an order. You can shop while you wait since it's located inside Lotte Mart which is a Korean grocery store. The menu is varied. Everything I've tried has been excellent and the portions are excellent. A lot of people come here just for the food when they're not even food shopping. That's how popular it is. Unlike other food stalls located inside Korean grocery stores, a lot of non-Koreans come here. The servers speak perfect English and are friendly and I think that helps non-Koreans feel more comfortable ordering food from here. The ambiance is inside-a-grocery-store ambiance.“

“Food was excellent. Kuromame was as expected, but took forever to bring out. Eel-avocado-cucumber roll was great. Karaage also. Brussels sprouts were excellent, but a *little* too much dressing. The Kitchen Sink was superb. Everything tasted fresh with no fishy fishy. I liked the novelty of the Japanese Sangaria Ramune melon soda, which was refreshing.Service was quite odd and confusing. The nice lady who seated us outside kind of made it seem as if she would be our server and took our order, however after the food came, we were introduced to a gentleman who was our actual server. He was having a bad day, for sure, as I actually saw him ball up his fist in frustration. Sorry, dude - I get it. All the while, whom I believe may have been the owner was watching outside and not really being helpful. It was obvious Kenaki was not terribly organized when it comes to the service.I'd go back for the food.“

“So far I've only gotten take out by the food is delicious every time. I just moved to the area and don't have family around and feel so lucky to have found this gem! The owner is from the same province in the Philippines that my family is from and the food tastes so much like home I always start with the chicken bbq and then veggie lumpia (sometimes the meat one too) and I've had the sinigang and the bangus with bogoong and it's all been so good. I wish they were open more days!“

“The restaurant was a little busy and tables in the back where we sat were a little small. We ended up moving to the bar and after that everything was great. The crazy spider that I ordered was mild but very enjoyable.And of course the presentation is “

“First time we tried to come here it was a Friday evening and there was a 30+ min wait. However, there was plenty of seating around 530 on a Tuesday. Nice atmosphere and we found everything to be very worth the price.I am usually not a big fan of tofu, but their fried tofu in the Pad Thai was very tasty. The Khao Soi wasn't my favorite in the area, but it was still very good. Plus, I have found most places give 1 piece of chicken and this place gave double, at a comparable or lower price than the others, so I felt it was well worth it. The Papaya Salad was refreshing and the glaze on the Spicy Catfish was very delicious. Can recommend all those dishes.Service was more than adequate and the food came out quickly. The only minor negative was I found their rice to be a bit soggy/sticky. Not sure if it's supposed to be like that or they just used too much water this time. Overall, I would recommend coming here. Great food at a very reasonable price.“

“Thai Treasure is a culinary gem that shines brightly in the constellation of local eateries. This isn't just another Thai restaurant; it's a vibrant homage to the rich tapestry of Thai cuisine, served up in a modern setting that's as inviting as a warm smile. With service that makes you feel like royalty, it's no wonder this place has become a treasure trove for those in search of flavors that transport you straight to the heart of Thailand.Our culinary expedition began with the Crab Rangoon, a playful yet sophisticated take on the classic appetizer. The delicately crispy pouches served with a side of sweet & sour sauce were a surprisingly great way to start the meal, much better than what we typically think of. It's a dish that says, "Welcome to flavor town, population: you."Then came the Lava Beef, a dish so sizzling, it could melt even the coldest of hearts. The combination of beef, onion, bell peppers, and pineapple, all lovingly tossed in a honey pepper sauce and kissed by sesame oil, was a sweet and savory ballet that pirouetted right onto our taste buds. It wasn't just hot; it was volcanic, in the best possible way.The journey continued with Pad Kee Mao, also known as Drunken Noodles. This dish, with its wide rice noodles, onion, bell peppers, tomato, and basil, was like a late-night adventure in Bangkok--bold, spicy, and utterly unforgettable. It's the kind of dish that makes you want to dance in the rain, or at least order another round.Speaking of rounds, the Panang Chicken Curry was a knockout. The spicy, rich curry, infused with the zest of kaffir lime and studded with bell peppers and broccoli, was a masterclass in balance and flavor. It was like a hug from an old friend who just happens to be a Thai spice merchant--warm, comforting, and slightly spicy.And let's not forget the cocktails and classic beverages, a liquid odyssey that's as daring as it is delicious. Thai Treasure's beverage menu is a treasure map that leads to bliss, with each drink more inventive and refreshing than the last. It's the perfect complement to a meal that's already overflowing with flavor and fun.In essence, Thai Treasure is more than just a restaurant; it's a celebration of Thai culture, cuisine, and conviviality. With its modern vibe, exceptional service, and a menu that's both adventurous and authentic, it's a place where every meal feels like a fantastic discovery.“

“The Spot has many options for any restaurant we can eat. It is very friendly to the environment. That does make me feel welcome to go to that place. I enjoyed viewing the general food. That is so wonderful. I had a great time eating a dessert. My day is the best. What a blast I love it!“

“Super good food they have that holiday promotion for 2, varieties of meat from pork, beef, that chicken and shrimps are delicious. Friendly staff. Place is clean, excellent service. Highly recommend when you are in Arlington, Virginia come visit too!“

“My wife and I are from southwest of China. I would say Chef Lee's Element makes the best and the most authentic southwest Chinese dishes in DC area. We've tried almost every dish and it never lets us down. For the service, I want to thank Micheal for his kind and wonderful service, he is always smiling and talkative and gives his nice recommendations of the dishes. We go there almost every week.“

“The intestines were my favorite part of the meal!! It was not too fatty and had a little kick of spice to it. If you can eat intestines, I highly recommend. It's on their new menu. Also on the new menu, we got the sweet and sour pork. The pork does have bones in it, but the sauce is delicious. This was my friend's favorite. For a veggie dish, we ordered the mapo tofu. I thought this was lacking compared to other mapo tofus I've had but I usually like more meat and smaller softer tofu in my mapo tofu. You might really like this. Service was good and quick. Everyone there spoke Chinese and were very friendly. The interior of the restaurant is decorated nicely. Check out this place for more authentic chinese food if you're in Georgetown!“

“Raku is a popular Japanese restaurant located in Washington, D.C. Known for its modern and stylish atmosphere, Raku offers a diverse menu featuring traditional Japanese dishes with a contemporary twist. Some of their specialties include sushi, sashimi, ramen, and grilled salmon ( my favorite). The restaurant is often praised for its high-quality ingredients, creative presentation, and attentive service. It's a favorite spot for those looking to experience authentic Japanese cuisine in the heart of the nation's capital.“

“What a hidden gem! I was in the area and looking for a place to grab lunch. Decided on Momo's Cafe based on all the fantastic reviews it has received and it did not disappoint. Parking was a bit hard to find, but luckily we found some street parking not too far away. Stepped into this small, cute cafe and we were warmly greeted by the staff. Placed our order and waited not more than 10 min before our food arrived at our table. We ordered the bento box and a side of popcorn chicken. All of it was delicious. The pickled cabbage was a great accompaniment. I also got a milk tea to wash it all down and I was fully satisfied with my entire meal.“
