Asian-fusion cuisine is so popular that, to keep up with the demand, some restaurants are inventing new Asian countries, such as the People’s Republic of People and Korea’s Cousin. Experience already-existing countries' cuisine combinations with today’s Groupon: for $6, you get $12 worth of Asian-fusion fare and drinks at Simply Thalia. Thalia gets its first name by providing simply healthy, simply fresh, and simply delicious Asian cuisine. By fusing favorite dishes from Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Korea, and China, the robust menu is a cornucopia of sushi rolls, maki, noodles, rice bowls, dumplings, soup, and salads. Try the Fat Boss chef specialty roll, a tubular tongue-pleaser of scallop, ebi, avocado, scallion, masago, spicy mayo, and spicy sauce ($14). Otherwise, delve into the Shanghai Tang Ramen noodles, swimming in a golden broth with house dumplings, barbecued pork, bok choy, and scallion ($8.95).
