Top Asian Fusion Restaurant in Pismo Beach
FAYs FUSION
220 Hinds Ave, Pismo Beach, CA 93449, United States
Apparently good Asian food is difficult to find in this part of California, who knew? This restaurant is no exception to the rule. While the food is edible and the owner was super friendly, the meal itself wasnt worth the top dollar they charged for their items.First off the dumplings are about half the size of normal dumplings, nothing special about them especially for the exaggerated price of $14 for 9. Upside, Coleslaw was good though.The so called Teriyaki plate, doesnt taste like Teriyaki and the chicken is way overcooked and the entire dish is smoothed in Green Bell peppers, which was an odd choice for a supposed Teriyaki plate. Jalapeños would have been a better choice and gave some taste. Upside, rice is delicious could have used more of it, again, for the $14 price tag.The thing I did taste was the Shrimp Chow Mein, but $16??? Maybe $8 street food for some quick cooked noodles.The Boba drinks seemed to be on point, several people came and went with their Boba orders while I waited for my over price food.I compliment the owner on her experience and vision, unfortunately its not working. Perhaps a less complicated menu and more of a quick street food approach would benefit this small over priced shop and hopefully have better prices to match.All in all save your money and eat elsewhere, save your Asian food for LA or SF.

We came here on our roadtrip from San Francisco to San Diego, and it was so good we stopped on our way back north as well!Excellent quality salmon and tuna, and tons of sauce and topping options. We came at off hours one of the times and the rice wasnt dry which was impressive as we wouldnt have been surprised if it were. The lady behind the counter helped us both times and was super nice and helpful. We tried musubi (spam and rice wrapped in seaweed wrap like sushi) for the first time here, and it was fantastic! The only reason we didnt get it again today was because we couldnt finish everything last time (large poke bowl and musubi). But itd be a perfect late afternoon snack.Absolutely would go out of our way to return next time were in California! Locals please give it plenty of business to keep it going strong till we come back!
Oyster Loft
101 Pomeroy Ave, Pismo Beach, CA 93449, United States
We had a lovely dinner on Sunday evening during Memorial Day weekend. Tip: Make a reservation in advance! Maybe it was because it was a holiday weekend, but they were booked fairly early.We sat indoors but had a nice view of the beach. If you can, try to grab a seat closest to the pier. They roll up the curtains around sunset so the view is amazing.We started off with some fresh oysters (beau soleil, grassy bar, kumiai) and charbroiled oysters. We relied on our server's expertise to recommend some oyster types for us, and he didn't disappoint! They came with 3 sauces and the cocktail sauce was one of the most flavorful I've ever had. The horseradish was a bit too strong for us, while the mignonette was tasty.The entrees were both amazing. The scallops were cooked nicely and decently sized. The chiles were not that noticeable flavor-wise but the corn and au gratin potatoes gave the entire dish some nice texture.The pork chop was excellently prepared — it was a thick portion that was tender and juicy on the inside while having a nice crisp char on the outside. The sides also really helped elevate the dish: the bread pudding reminded me of high quality Thanksgiving stuffing, and the creamed spinach and sourdough crisp that sit under the pork chop benefitted from the juices of the meat. The creamed spinach was also not super creamy, which I appreciated. I'm not usually a fan of pork chop but this is one of the best prepared and creative versions I've had.We finished with a chocolate berry dessert cocktail that was packed with flavor. The table next to us was also intrigued and asked us about it. I would recommend if you like chocolate, berries, and sweetness.Overall a really great restaurant with beautiful views and delicious food. Our server Shane was also great — attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. He also comped us a couple of oysters to taste because he wasn't sure how we'd like them — we really appreciated that! Can't recommend this restaurant enough if you're looking for a romantic night out at Pismo Beach.
