1618 Asian Fusion

We ordered the duck scallion pancake, taste really good and the duck meat is tender. The pho xiao long bao, the soup inside is pho flavor.... very different and very good. Crispy pad thai chicken... interesting concept but it works well and very good. Chicken lemon grass vermicelli, duck broth wonton noodle soup , and the award winning pho are very good too. Our waitress was very friendly and served us well. Definitely will come back, didn't expect a fusion restaurant is this good....😃😍

Dined here while visiting Austin last week. Our dishes were flavorful and good portioned. The pineapple fried rice I got was delicious! My wife loved her dish as well! We were surprised how busy this place was considering it was a Tuesday night! There was a line of people waiting so make sure you make reservations. Highly recommend this place!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth Every Mile From Houston Some restaurants serve great food. Others provide great service. 1618 Asian Fusion somehow mastered both, and that’s something you don’t come across very often. We visited on August 6 from Houston for a late lunch, and this wasn’t just a meal—it was an experience we’ll be talking about for a long time. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance that’s both elegant and relaxing, making you want to slow down and enjoy every moment. Then the food arrived… and we were honestly speechless. Every single dish we ordered was phenomenal. Every bite was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. Usually there’s at least one dish that’s just “good,” but here? Every single plate was outstanding. We kept looking at each other saying, “Wow,” after every bite. What made the experience even more unforgettable was the service. Holton and Kiara were absolutely amazing. Their kindness, professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for every guest were second to none. They anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask and made us feel more than just customers. I’ve eaten at many highly rated restaurants, and I can honestly say I’ve never experienced a place where the food, service, and atmosphere were all this exceptional at the same time. It’s incredibly rare to find a restaurant that excels in every category. To the entire team at 1618 Asian Fusion—thank you for giving our family such an unforgettable experience. You turned a simple late lunch into a lasting memory. We will gladly make the drive from Houston again because experiences like this are truly one of a kind. If you’re wondering whether this restaurant is worth visiting, the answer is simple: Absolutely. Without a doubt, one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had.

We eat out a lot, this was truly a magnificent experience. The service is top notch. The pad Thai was incredible. Get the flaming cheesecake!!! The soup dumplings and chili oil were delicious and hot. The spring rolls with the grilled lemongrass pork dipped in that peanut sauce I highly recommend. A must stop if you're in Austin.

If you're looking for one of the best Asian dining experiences in Austin, put 1618 Asian Fusion at the top of your list. I came here on a word-of-mouth recommendation, and I was intrigued before I even sat down. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a beautifully designed waiting area showcasing the restaurant's many awards and accolades. It immediately sets the tone that you're in for something special. We came with one goal: try as many things as possible. Saturdays are perfect for that because they offer dim sum. We started with the Pho Xiao Long Bao (Wagyu beef soup dumplings) and the Korean pancakes. The soup dumplings completely stole the show. Perfectly cooked, delicate wrappers, rich and flavorful broth, and with just a touch of chili oil...absolute perfection. I've had soup dumplings in many places, and these are hands down the best I've ever had. I say that with my whole chest. The Korean pancakes were also outstanding. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, with that perfect balance of savory and just a hint of sweetness. Every bite had great texture and flavor. For our entrées, my husband ordered the Banana Salmon. It was spectacular. It's one of those dishes that makes you question whether you've ever really had good curry before. The spice wasn't about heat, it was about depth, warmth, and layers of beautifully balanced flavor. I ordered the Crab&Shrimp Tom Yum Coconut Fried Rice, and this dish deserves its own paragraph. The presentation alone is stunning. The fried rice is served inside a fresh coconut, surrounded by banana leaves and topped with a beautiful orchid. But thankfully, it tastes every bit as incredible as it looks. The coconut adds a delicate sweetness without overpowering the dish. The crab was plentiful, sweet, and incredibly fresh, while the shrimp were perfectly cooked, not a second overdone. Dishes like this require impeccable timing because every ingredient cooks differently, and somehow every single component was flawless. It was one of the best fried rice dishes I've ever eaten. The service was equally impressive. Everyone was warm, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations based on their most popular dishes. They even told us about their live music nights, which immediately gave us another reason to come back. The table next to us was having Pho and needed with the mango sticky rice and I am coming back for that. Overall, 1618 Asian Fusion delivered on every level, beautiful atmosphere, exceptional food, and genuinely welcoming service. It's one of those restaurants that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill. Highly recommend!
