Asian Fusion Cafe

If you’re as far south as Palmetto Bay, please stop by this hole-in-the-wall, which boasts exactly what its name implies: a gorgeous roster of Asian food. Helmed by chef and part-owner Lek Ratanavong, who grew up cooking with her grandmother in the Loei Province of Northern Thailand, Asian Fusion Cafe offers traditional Thai, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese dishes—you'll even find an adequate sushi menu. Having spent over 20 years perfecting her own twist grandma’s recipes, this unassuming eatery is where Ratanavong brings it all together. The result? Thai standouts like deboned roasted duck with red curry and chargrilled ka proud lamb with rare Thai herbs.
