Top Asian fusion restaurants in Minneapolis, United States

The food is AMAZING! I’m definitely coming back! Don’t forget to try the pho!

Ordered the pineapple fried rice with chicken, via Uber eats. No chicken, the vegetables were clearly frozen. The container was only partially full, and the rice was goopy. $17 and worse than a frozen food fried rice from the grocery store.

Same quality with the tofu fried rice. No tofu, no heat, it was supposed to be hot. Goopy and made with the same frozen vegetables as the other.

We were very excited to try a new Thai place, this was more than a letdown.

This was my wife and I’s first time trying Thai Garden and unfortunately it might be our last. We ordered 2 dishes to-go, the pad see ew and the pad kra pow. About 5 minutes after we ordered, a group of 3 came in to order to-go as well. After about 25 minutes, they got their food, (it was at least 4 dishes) and left, while my wife and I still waited for our 2 dishes. A little annoying, but whatever. We ended up getting our food about 5 more minutes after that. When we got home we saw that the pad see ew had no chicken in it as you can see we ordered on the receipt. That’s especially disappointing considering it’s already on the pricey side compared to the same dish at other restaurants. The dish itself was also pretty bland. The pad kra pow was thankfully better and actually pretty good. But it wasn’t enough to make up for the bad experience overall. They are a small business and maybe we caught them on an off night, so I don’t want to discourage anyone from trying it. But I have to be honest that our experience was not good.

I'm not sure how this place has more than 4 stars! Starting with that only the appetizers took like 1 hour and 10 min to come out. The place wasn't even busy I think they only had one waitress. The wings came out I mean look at the picture. The wings had a weird texture and the wontons had no taste. Fried tasteless bread with ketchup! I had to go because the sushi never came out. They charged me for the sushi I had ask them to take it out. They wanted me to take the sushi after the horrible experience. Never again!. Fake reviews.

Decided to try and catch happy hour before it ended at 6. My party and I were seated by 5:40. Our waitress didn’t come to our table until 6 on the dot. Not a great first impression. Food was good and the atmosphere was really nice. Just wished our waitress had explained to us why it took so long to even greet us. Whether it’s being short staffed or other issues being the reason, communicate with your customers.

Took a greyhound from Milwaukee to see Billy Joel and was in the mood for pho. I made a takeout order but realized I didn’t have any utensils, nor could I take it into the US bank stadium. Tony, the owner along with his wife, who was running around making sure everyone was satisfied didn’t leave me behind. He let me sit at the bar and brought out a bowl for me to enjoy it inside. The pho itself was delicious and filling, and it’s what brought me here. But, the hospitality will surely bring me back. Five stars across the board.

It’s funny that Bonchon is known for their fried chicken, and I absolutely love fried chicken, but I tried the tteobokki my first time eating there and I’m absolutely hooked. The spice level is perfect, there’s a subtle smoky-sweetness that works so well with the thick, tender rice cakes. I have gone several times fully intending on getting just some chicken because I’ve heard it’s very good, but then I wind up ordering the bokki because just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
This is a great, low key spot for a quick lunch, especially if you sit by the windows so you can watch Lake Street. It’s kind of no-frills, but that is just fine considering the quality of the food.
I promise I will eventually get the fried chicken, but for now I can confidently say this is quickly becoming a mainstay.

It's perfectly fine for a quick meal, but it's just ok. The food was ok but not great. The atmosphere was more fast food feeling than good. It's fairly inexpensive but not cheap. It's middle of the road all around— not bad not good.

This place just was not the move tonight for me to stop into. I decided to stop in here after a long shift of not being able to eat thinking I’d be served some good food for the price I paid. could I ever be more wrong? I’m not sure if my server tipped off the kitchen and told him to skimp me on all my meat. But my rice bowl had zero meat in it for the 15.45$ I paid. I usually stop in here for your chicken wings only which are decently priced but tonight’s service and food made me never wanna come back again that was disappointing. Humble word of advices. Please figure out your meat portion sizes in the rice bowls nobody wants to pay good money for a rice bowl and receive zero protein in it.

My girlfriend and I got the Tofu Pho and Vermicelli salad, and both were fantastic!! The owner took our order and was super friendly as well, he even saw that we were warm and turned the fan onto us! The atmosphere was super quaint and we both had a lovely time. Would highly recommend.

Easy parking behind the restaurant which stands on a busy corner. There appears to be a second dining area which could be used for private events. The space itself at night is not very inviting. Lighting, table and booth arrangement, and decor did not appear to get much attention. The food, however was quite good. Typically extensive menu with several pages of Thai offerings. From the sushi menu, the crunch roll I had was large and tasty. The special rolls were all in the $17-18 range. Probably better as a lunch place, but worth visiting.

I had it delivered, and I have not personally visited the location. But the chicken was very, very delicious. The coleslaw was fantastic! I had the spicy sauce for the chicken. It had some decent heat but even more flavorful.

If you are a fan of Asian wings, I don’t know that there is any place that does them better. We became fans of this place a few years ago, and it has remained a family favorite. This low-key Korean restaurant has a simple menu, and everything is delicious. We’ve sampled both styles of wings. The garlic wings are something special, particularly when they are fresh out of the deep fryer. (I have also gotten them for takeout, and while they’re still excellent, it’s not quite the same as when they’re fresh.). The spicy wings are delicious but on the high side of my spicy comfort. We have also tried the bulgogi, the pork buns, the Korean tacos, and the french fries. Everything is very well done! If you can, a side order of seasoned fries comes in a small bucket, and it is a treat for the whole table.

The atmosphere is simple, but comfortable. Sadly, they tend to be understaffed, so service is generally slower than I think it should be. Still, I find the food to be worth the wait. Parking can be a bit of a challenge. There is some on street parking right in front, but it’s a very popular part of Dinkytown, so they fill up quick. There is an inexpensive paid lot around the corner that we’ve had better luck at.

If you’re looking for a sweet and spicy style of wing, definitely check this place out.

Now goes by Thai Garden Fusion by new owners. I got the Thai half-duck. Came with a perfectly steamed side of rice and the flavors were fresh, and the right level of spice! Duck was crispy yet unbelievably tender and delicious. Each bite had me yearning for more, and the staff were awesome and kind! Finished the meal with mango sticky rice, and was not disappointed to the slightest. Mango was perfectly ripe and plentiful and the rice wasn’t too sweet so the flavors worked very well. 10/10 would recommend to anyone, and I will be coming back soon!

I recently dined at a restaurant and was truly impressed by the exceptional service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure a delightful dining experience. From the moment I entered, they made me feel welcomed and valued. They were knowledgeable about the menu, provided insightful recommendations, and catered to dietary preferences seamlessly. Throughout the meal, they checked in regularly to ensure everything was to my satisfaction. This level of service undoubtedly enhanced my overall enjoyment of the meal, and I can't wait to return for another wonderful experience.

I ordered the bull dak which is spicy chicken with stir-fried rice cakes, onions, and hot pepper sauce. It is topped with thinly sliced scallions, sesame seeds, and mozzarella cheese. The dish also has a side of white rice. It is around 2,600 calories and has a good spice level, so if you can tolerate a modicum of heat and are feeling rather famished that day I would order this comestible. My friend ordered the wing lunch special, which was solid for a price range of $11 bucks for the fact that it came paired with a mountain of French fries. The wings and the fries are a solid choice.

Went on a date here and the food was phenomenal! I'm pretty sure I had the best green curry I have tasted so far in the US. The spring rolls were also amazing. I will definitely be back!

Hard not to like this place or the food!
Bonchon is probably one of my favorite restaurants, no lie!

They have one of the best chicken wings and many different Korean dishes, spicy or not they have amazing variety!

The restaurant itself plays K-Pop music which is... music to my ears! I love it and so might you, please give them a try!

Honestly best seasoned fries ive ever had and also amazing Korean chicken wings, this is definitely a top spot to hit up and i always get some food when I’m in the area!! The service could be better, i appreciate the server constantly refilling our glasses.

I got a poke bowl for take out! Portion size and ingredient quality were both fantastic. Great options. Order was ready when I got there. Decent amount of street parking near by which is always a concern for me when driving into the U of M campus. I will be back for sure!

I walked to Flamin Thai since it was near my hotel for a quick bite to eat. I had spring rolls, curry fried rice, and Thai tea. My food was okay and my waitress was very sweet, but I wouldn’t go back based on the environment I experienced while I was there (and I’ll leave it at that). If you do choose to eat here, I’d go for something other than the curry fried rice

The food was amazing and the service was great. Looking forward to returning soon.

This is top tier food.

The musubi are perfection even if they're turkey and not the original stuff.

The customizable bowls are like a mix between a poke bowl and bibimbop.

I ordered take-out this time but I will definitely be dining in next time and bringing some friends.

Very wide selection of menu items. Had the poke bowl and was not disappointed! Next I'll try the steak rice bowl! 🥣

Food was amazing! Pineapple curry was bomb. Spice level was perfection as well. Slow building heat is my favorite.

(Pan fried) Gyoza was very good. Slightly crispier than I’m used to.

Japanese Mule was great as well, props to the bartender that made it. Great flavor.

I would normally knock a star because service was sub-par, but I can’t fault the server as I think he may need to see a doc for some ADD meds. His focus needs some serious help. Nice dude and seems like a hard worker, but memory skills and focus could use some help.

Can’t recommend this place enough though. Honestly the only reason left to visit the neighborhood.

Yummy stir fry that tasted like curry 😋 I wasn’t a fan of the bowl though because it spilled everywhere. The baked muscles, papaya salad, dumplings, and oysters were good. Personally thought the sushi rolls were decent but not my personal fav. Lastly the strawberry mimosa & mango mimosa was delicious & definitely hit!

What a joke!! The chicken sliders, 3 sliders to an order for $15, this is literally a boneless chicken wing as the chicken patty 😂

Also they sell their donuts without the glaze, and when I bought the glaze, they didn’t even send enough for one donut…. And if you order one without glaze it’s literally like a cinnamon stick with no cinnamon, just a fluffy dry pasty. I didn’t give 1 star because the wings were good.

Been aware of Bonchon for a while now, first time visiting. This chicken knocked it right out of the park! Fantastic! Perfectly crispy boneless wings, the spice level was phenomenal. Need to try garlic soy in a half&half combination next time. My former roommate swore by this chicken and now I can see why. I don’t usually expand my realms like this and it was totally worth it. Will be seeing you guys again and thanks for being great neighbors!

I love coming here for the food (Poke Bowl specifically) - I come back because of the music, plants + people! Love everything about The Cove! 😍

Ive been going to the Cove since it opened and it's always a hit. The food is a great price for the amount of food you get. It's always been such friendly staff too and I highly recommend trying it out. I love the rice bowl with chicken and all the toppings!

No service complaints- friendly, welcoming, fast. As for food...
Khaopiak- too strong of ginger taste, noodle portion small, bland. Lots of chicken tho.
Lao Papaya- looked great, tasted mediocre. Need more flavor in papaya sauce. Decent portion. Ordered spicy, wasnt.
Chicken Wings- flamin at spiciest level. Special sauce most likely hoisin+sriracha so nothing special. Again not spicy. Typical portion.
Thai Tea- perfect! Not too sweet.

Too many restaurants of same cuisine in TC that do it better, cheaper, and free parking (tho only paid $2 at meter). Best for those who live close n dont feel venturing further out.

Incredible food and welcoming staff!! This place has the crunchiest chicken I’ve ever had. 100% recommend

Food was good

Not a large selection

Once you had it you had it

No need to really return

The restaurant has such a plastic cold feeling to it n I get that it is winter but it doesn't need to feel like I'm eating outside

We're sitting so close together that no matter what I say even if I whispered the next person is going to hear it

Bathroom was clean

Good, fresh food. Friendly staff. Fast service. You get a lot in a bowl for the price you pay. Worth trying 👍🏼

Let me start off by saying that I wish there were half star options. I save my 5 star ratings for food that blows my mind because it is so good. The food here is delicious! 4.5 stars would be my rating. The place is clean and the service is really good. Nice atmosphere. My husband has high standards with his Korean food and he absolutely loved it. Highly recommend the food and will be coming back for sure!

Restuarant is on the smaller side, however it is very clean and welcoming. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The food came out fairly quickly and tasted delicious. The wings and fried rice are a MUST try. Prices were reasonable and quality of food was fresh. Would definitely recommend anyone to try this place, I for sure will definitely be going back (whenever I'm back in Minneapolis).

This place has some really delicious Korean fast food. I really loved the small menu and the taste of the food.

They have some nice lunch combos options to choose from. The ambiance is nice for casual dining with friends. This place has one of the best fries I ever had. The fries portion size is huge! so make sure you have a partner to share you fries.

The food is fresh and very delicious! The prices are slightly higher.

Overall a highly recommended and a must try place. The chicken is just the best!

Good eats!

I like that the pandemic has not prevented sober Fish from still providing the happy hour menu many places have scrap their menu.
The sushi is still amazing!

My only gripe was with the Thai basil fried rice I asked for it with pineapple and tofu and I got that! That part was great.
It just didn’t taste the same as I remember from some time ago it’s like it was missing a certain seasoning so it fell flat.
All in all a great place to eat an amazing service to match! We didn’t need a reservation as it was not busy so that made it easy!

Pro: no reservation fast seating still same great quality of sushi. Wait staff is amazing!

Con: even though it was not busy inside Sober Fish it’s very busy in the area parking may be a hassle.

I would say maybe skip the fried rice and go with a curry or noddle dish instead.

Like my review if helpful
Thanks :)

Mediocre poke bowl, slightly better rice bowls. The pork belly poutine was good and filling though. I’d recommend that. Location close to campus, can’t beat that. The few times I’ve been there, the staff has always been super chill and friendly.

Very flavorful and delicious poke bowl and rice bowl. I would suggest double checking all requests before sending it out. A few times I was missing ingredients in my bowl or received something else that I didn't request for.
