Enjoyed this new to me sushi spot for a Thursday night dinner. Called ahead to make a reservation for 715 because my eta was not certain and they kindly allowed me to place a reservation for two for seven and said they'd be flexible and it was lovely. Call ahead! Always. It's worth it here. My dining companion and I shared a Kurosawa roll (I asked for the sauce to be on the side) and the Chef's Choice large Sashimi Platter. I enjoyed a sencha tea as they happened to be out of genmaicha that night and my friend enjoyed a darn good old fashioned with the number five carved into the surface of the ice cube. read more

First time here. Was pretty excited to try it based on the reviews. Perhaps they had an off night in the kitchen. Our Hamachi crudo was salty. Our two different tuna rolls (akashiro and spicy tuna) were very salty. I've never had a salty sushi roll so that was a first. Thinking someone had a heavy hand during the food prep. Will likely try again but at the cost it's a gamble. Service was great. Atmosphere was great. read more

Had a wonderful date night at 5 Fusion & Sushi Bar. Our waitress was extremely friendly and even was able to switch up a dish for us so that we could still get a version of what we were wanting to order. The standout of the night was the hamachi Kama (they ended up using salmon) and the crispy pork belly buns. We were at the sushi bar so we got to witness first hand them putting all the food together. It's not the most comfortable seating, and you end up having a lot of foot traffic behind you from servers, but the meal is still enjoyable! read more

Trendy little sushi joint. Definitely had some good vibes but it was a bit pricey. The food was good but nothing special. We tried a few different rolls. The avocado was just perfect. Server was friendly but I feel like the whole experience was just kinda of blah. read more

Pretty sure I've reviewed this before as I've been here a dozen times over the years. But I'll say again, it's amazing. But it WAS far more amazing in the past. My current review has lost stars because of whatever is going on with their management and menu revamp. The menu has been completely redesigned and downsized, several of my favorite rolls don't even exist anymore because they didn't want to source the extremely common ingredients. Nonetheless, try everything but bring a fat wallet if you do. It's very pricey but delicious. I find it a bit strange that every single waiter looks like he stepped out of a vampiric bdsm romance novel, it seems to be a requirement to have at least one full sleeve tattoo and they recently eliminated all of their Japanese sushi chefs in place of random locals - the food has suffered because of it. They also haven't fixed their beautiful water ceiling element in several years. Honestly I could fix it in an hour and it was a beautiful addition to the frankly unimpressive interior design. Their lighting is great though on the ground floor. I'll keep coming back. read more

From the minute we walked in the door to the end of the meal and our full tummies, this sushi place is top-notch. The vibe is hip and chic, and if you don't have a reservation, you'll be escorted upstairs as we were. There is room up there unless it's privately booked so we got lucky! Our meals were fab and everything tasted delicious. The miso soup was not as hot as it could've been, but not worth redux of a star. Cocktails are creative and ambience is hip. Parking is a bit tricky as they are in a popular location, but it's well worth the walk. Reservations recommended. read more

We've been going to Five Fusion for many, many years. It has been our favorite restaurant in Bend with fresh creative sushi plus a wide variety of Japanese inspired dishes from salads to main courses. We went again last night and WOW, they have leveled up! We are all about the food and it was stellar, from a sashimi platter of four tunas, eggplant, shishitos, salad and many rolls - literally not one grain of rice left when we were finished - the high quality and true craftsmanship is worth every penny. Add in the ambiance, clean and modern with an attentive, friendly waitstaff- make reservations early if you want to get in! read more

So good!! Everything was amazing!! The food was excellent, service & ambiance was good, but the food took showcase.

We highly recommend 5Fusion and Sushi Bar. It is without a doubt the best sushi we have ever had. My husband and i spend every special occasion there. Sasha, the owner, always treats us like royalty. The dishes are presented like art pieces and taste like the special presentation that they are. The chef is fabulous. It does not disappoint. Ambiance is wonderful. We love sitting at the Sushi bar and watch the Chef and his helpers do their magic. It is exceptionally clean and malicious. If you go there it will not disappoint, read more

Lovely establishment! We ordered a dozen different thangs and everything was delightful. The fried shisitos, hamachi crudo, sticky rice tuna nuggets... the speciality rolls and nigiri were on point. Waitress was very sweet and attentive as well read more

Wow wow wow is all that firsts comes to mind about my experience here. We decided last minute that we wanted to have sushi for dinner and stumbled upon 5 fusion and boy am I glad we did, it was probably the best sushi I've had. Every item we got melted in your mouth and was to die for, especially the tuna crispy rice (not pictured). The staff were amazing and very knowledgeable about diet restrictions, etc. we sat at the bar which is always a fun time at sushi, the vibe throughout was very modern but cozy at the same time and the drinks were fabulous. Will definitely make this a must spot whenever we visit the area read more

Five Fusion is hands-down the best sushi in Bend! We tried a variety of rolls--from the simple yet refreshing vegetable and cucumber rolls to their incredible original specialty rolls (the special roll is a must!)--and every single bite was outstanding. The quality of the fish, the creativity in the flavors, and the perfect balance of texture and presentation make Five Fusion a standout. You can truly tell the care and thought that goes into every dish. The service was welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere is modern yet comfortable. The bar is beautiful and open with a variety of spirits. After dining here, I honestly won't go anywhere else in Bend for sushi. Five Fusion has completely won me over! read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish. We were told the entire restaurant was reserved and were seated at the bar... yet half the tables were empty the entire time we were there. Not a great first impression. The sushi itself was shockingly underwhelming. The first roll had zero flavor and was half the size of a normal roll. The second was supposed to be an unagi roll, but there was barely any unagi on it at all. The final roll was so bad I couldn't even finish it--I ate one piece and gave up. Service didn't help either. The bartender didn't refill our waters even once until she dropped off the check. Our group of four walked out still hungry and staring at a pretty hefty bill for what we got. Save your time and your appetite. If you want quality, flavor, and service go somewhere else. read more

I am quite the average Joe person going to dinner with my friends for one of their birthdays. We are 17 and visibly underage but we made a reservation and were fully ready to pay and tip well for our meal. We asked for a modification on our order to tempura one of our rolls (which we have had done multiple times before) and were told the kitchen was unable to do it. We thought this was strange because every time each of us had previously gone we have had this modification done to the rolls. Another strange thing that happened was that our waiter checked up on every table around us multiple times but only came to our table to deliver our food and take our order. I believe this was because we are underage and the assumption that teenagers don't tip. Service was very sub par for a nice restaurant I am not pleased. (We still tipped 20%) read more

We tried 5 Fusion based on all the good reviews. The ambiance and service were very good, however we did not like any of the 4 menu items that we tried. - Crispy rice with spicy tuna: we've had this at several other Asian restaurants and have always liked it. The rice seemed very oily and deep fried, and one piece was brownish on the inside (from a sauce that was mixed in?). This was probably the best of the 4 dishes. - Miso eggplant: it was an oily mass of dark brown small pieces of eggplant in a sauce that tasted nothing like miso and overwhelmed the flavor of the eggplant. - Miso cod lettuce wraps: the cod was again overwhelmed by the flavor of whatever sauce was used and didn't taste like miso. The lettuce and crispy onions on top were tasty though. - Diablo roll: again, there was a strong sauce that overwhelmed the dish, and the spicy tuna had a strange texture. We both had a bad stomach later that evening, despite not finishing any of three 4 dishes. Probably not a repeat place for us. read more

Best Sushi period! They even serve fresh wasabi! The real deal! There is not a single sushi that I didn't like.

The food was good, but the new chef couldn't get my steak cooked correctly. Overall our meals were great. The service was good and the waiter was friendly and attentive. The ambiance is nice and upscale. read more

5 Fusion is one of the better Bend restaurants, offering creative, appetizing food in a setting both casual and occasion-worthy. It's a fusion restaurant, so the menu might not correlate with what many might describe as authentic, if that matters to you (it doesn't to me). - Service: Top tier, from the moment you enter all through your meal. - Ambiance: 5 Fusion offers a varied setting - you can get a nice table, a two-top, sit at the sushi bar or the drink bar. - Food: It's mainly a sushi restaurant with all that implies (nigiri, rolls, etc) with some additional, exceptional entrees. I particularly like their take of tonkotsu ramen. - Booze: They can provide pretty much what you want, especially sake. They have a large variety of sake. - Price: Not cheap but in my opinion reasonable. Your bill for two may well exceed two figures before tip. read more

Came in on a weeknight and sat at the bar. The bartenders were very friendly and chatty, which was welcomed by me given that I was dining alone. I tried the award winning Botanist - gin, cilantro, serrano, ginger, and it was very tasty, quite the zinger. It does come out bright, almost neon, green, so brace yourself. For dinner I ordered the California Roll Salad and the Diablo roll. I was pleasantly surprised by the salad. It came with a good portion of crab and an entire half of an avocado. The bed of romaine that it was all on was dressed in a creamy black sesame dressing, that at first seemed like too much, but when I took a bite with romaine, avocado, and crab it was a well balanced taste. The Diablo roll was also good, some bites were much spicier than others, but overall there was a good portion of fish in each bite, and not too much rice. My only suggestion would be to modify the ponzu sauce, it somehow was totally absorbed by the rice, making the rice a little mushy. So making the sauce a little thicker maybe to stay on the fish, or mixing it in somehow could prevent the issue. As for the prices, seems on par for Bend dining, but generally seemed a little pricy. The salad was reasonable, but the roll felt a bit overpriced. read more

Made an appointment but waited with walk-ins--it's fine, busy. Everyone before us were seated at the first floor. A couple came in later than us and were seated at the last table on the first floor before us. The waiter apologized, saying he made a mistake with our group size--it's fine, people make mistakes. Two of us were brought to the second floor, and conspicuously, most tables had people from different ethnic backgrounds--hmmm, interesting. My husband (European) and I (Asian) were both shocked and extremely uncomfortable. If this arrangement was intentionally made by someone, they should know that they are so embarrassing and pitiful. read more

Small, minimalistic dining room. Service by our waiter Joshua was pleasant. He was very knowledgeable and happy to be there. Other patrons who frequent this establishment seemed to enjoy him as well. We made sure to make a reservation, as we were told there was an hour and half wait time the day before. Food was average, we wouldn't return since there are many other choices in town to choose from. Diablo roll was not spicy at all, rather disappointing. California roll tasted old and dry. read more

I was a fan of this place until my last trip on Friday. Thinking they may have a new chef? The food wasn't stellar like it's been in the past. Miso soup served luke warm, sake also luke warm, albacore truffle sashimi lacked seasoning (I believe ponzu and truffle oil -always loved this dish in the past but this time was dipping in soy sauce), rock shrimp was not crisp and shrimp slightly underdone...also luke warm. Sushi special roll that night had bluefin tuna and was not memorable. Toro nigiri was probably the best thing we had. Other than actual temperatures and taste, the service was weird. No pacing whatsoever, first thing brought was the "tempura shrimp", which I found odd, then everything else was just dumped on us at the same time at the sushi bar where we had no room (despite making a birthday reservation). I'm so bummed that we had a bad experience here and will likely give them another shot, but it's hard to swallow a place being as spendy as it is and leaving unhappy. I honestly was just trying to message the owner instead of posting here, but didn't see an option. Hope they see this and make some positive changes to the food and overall dining experience. read more

Enjoyed a pleasant interaction at the bar, although the service could have been more attentive. Ordered the special roll, eggplant, and fig cake, accompanied by jalapeño margaritas. Dinner for one totaled $90. One suggestion: actual chopsticks instead of disposable ones would enhance the experience. Also, given there's a bit of lag time - complimentary starter (equivalent to breadsticks or peanuts) would be a nice touch. read more

The ambience and service are great. Love the water running ceiling and the overall vibe! Some of the appetizers is a bit expansive! We got garlic edamame, seaweed salad, rising sun roll, tuna roll and the hibiscus colada. The garlic edamame is very garlicky and the seaweed salad has two seaweeds mix in there which I loved, and the rising sun roll is to die for!!! So delicious!!! Love it. And would definitely recommend! read more

We consider 5Fusion as having a 5-star Executive Chef, Sascha Lyon, and he delivers a 5-star menu and dining experience! With both "hot" and "cold" menus, as well as traditional sushi options, there is something for everyone -- it's not just a sushi restaurant and it honestly lives up to its 5Fusion name! We began ordering take away during the pandemic and consistently enjoyed the variety of sushi and non-sushi options and it was a good option in town at the time, as well as a refreshing deviation from the standard "heavy," fried and high-carb fare commonly offered at many Bend restaurants (not at all a dig on the other great restaurants in Bend, just a different/more rare kind of option in the area). That said, since Sascha Lyon took over as the Executive Chef (and co-owner), we have been extremely pleased with the improvements in the creativity, incredible variety and overall quality. We enjoy selecting a variety of options from the "cold," "hot" and sushi menus. While we like to stray from our usual picks from time to time, we consistently order, and especially enjoy, the California Salad, which is one of the most creative, delicate and delicious crab "salads" I think I have ever had anywhere - it's an unexpected and beautifully subtle fusion and balance flavors. We also typically opt for the Hamachi Crudo, Miso Butter Lettuce Cups, the Rock Shrimp Tempura, and a couple of sushi rolls. In addition, we've enjoyed the oysters (I love them, and they can be hard to find in Bend), the Miso Cod (elegantly prepared!), and the Grilled Marinated Short Ribs (a subtle sweet note balanced with an overall umami flavor). The cocktails are creative and delicious, and the selection of sakes are impressive. On our most recent visit on New Years Eve, 5Fusion didn't disappoint despite the high volume of customers. That evening, in addition to our "usual" choices, we tried the Pork Belly Fried Rice (which was very flavorful and not greasy), and the Prime NY Strip Toban Yaki (which was cooked to the proper temperature, with the only miss being that it was incredibly tough/hard to chew - we suspect that perhaps it wasn't sliced properly, but it didn't detract from the consistently delicious meal and overall lovely NYE!). The interior is casually contemporary and reflects the simplicity of Japanese decor, while still feeling warm and comfortable. It has a long bar in the main restaurant area, and there is an upstairs loft dining area to accommodate overflow (though the decor and ambiance is more sparse than the main restaurant dining area). Heavy curtains are placed at the entry, which helps to buffer dining guests from the bitter cold - which can otherwise ruin a pleasant dining experience (I wish more places in Bend had these in place). I can't finish my review without complimenting the staff/servers, all of whom are welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and an overall pleasure (and contribute to the 5-star rating)! 5Fusion is a very special restaurant and we feel so fortunate to have something like it in Bend. While I am a native Oregonian, I've most recently lived the better part of the last two decades in San Francisco (and as a self-described "foodie"), and I would rate 5Fusion as rivaling the caliber of some of the best restaurants there, even some with one or more Michelin Stars. We wish 5Fusion and Chef Sascha Lyon continued success with the beautifully curated menu and overall lovely experience! read more

I had high hopes for 5 fusion considering the good reviews and the background of the chef but unfortunately it missed the mark for me. While the fish seemed fresh, it was hard to tell hidden by all the other flavors and noise piled on top of the rolls. Sometimes less it more when it comes to flavor. While the rolls were huge (12 pieces per roll is rare for me), the flavors were way too overwhelming for me to distinguish one roll from another. Also, the sampler, while seemed interesting, also missed the mark because the flavor combinations were odd. My favorite was probably the Korean spare ribs... which isn't what the place is known for. read more

Come here for the sushi, skip the stir-fry. We had a roll that had tempura asparagus and salmon that was gorgeous and very tasty. Miso soup was loaded with onion etc but still tasted like ready-made miso soup. The pork belly stir-fry was 'meh'- too creamy and the pork belly flavor was overtaken by the other flavors. Ok service. Very attractive interior. read more
