9 Best Fusion Restaurants in Texas
These days, many restaurants can’t get by on a simple menu. The truly interesting restaurants are mixing it up more and more. We call this kind of culinary mix-up “fusion.” As one of the most diverse states in the country, fusion happens between different culinary traditions in Texas all the time. From Japanese and Chinese to Korean and Mexican, here are the best fusion options in the state.

Kuai has three Dallas, Texas locations. They fuse Asian flavors of all kinds, including Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Korean, and Vietnamese in a quick-served but never microwaved fashion. Order online or stop in to any of their locations for a great meal.
Yoshi Asian Fusion, Lake Jackson, TX

Japaneiro’s has been in Sugar Land, Texas for the last 14 years. During that time, they’ve cemented themselves as the go-to spot for sushi and Asian/Mexican fusion dishes. Start the meal off with tajadas, a sweet fried plantain, and finish with a roll of sushi.
