I don't know what to tell yall but this was my first and will be my last time coming here. The waiter didn't even take care of us even when we were there first and make us wait up to a hour before we received our food after everyone else even tho we were there first . And the fired rice that I had was so bad , it was dry and the meet was so big and not even cook and my rice was just smash down flat to fill up the plate . read more

Asian Fusion - Beef Fried Rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - Cedar Falls, Iowa

Really good Pad Thai. Quick service. Did it as take out and it was very hot!! Excellent experience.

My waitress took time to help me order since most of menu was NEW to me. I had Papaya Salad with Firecracker Shrimp appetizer. Both were excellent. I decided to eat with silverware rather than chopsticks!!! read more

I think this is our only option for pho in our area and thank goodness, it's GREAT! We tried the chicken satay for the first time tonight and it was fabulous. My boyfriend loved the peanut sauce and I loved the cucumber vinegar salad that was served along with it. Pho comes with all your typical fixings- beans sprouts, jalapeño, limes, hoisin, and siracha. Give this place a try! read more

So one time I went to Asian fusion and I ordered pho and in the meat there was mold on it I don't know why they had mold on it but if they do that please don't go over there again I just and next door there was a freaking boba store if this happens again by Asian fusion me and I have to talk with somebody to freak out shut the place down I don't know how that got in there read more

Great food, good service. Parking is easy. Clean and professional atmosphere. Highly recommend!

So this place was ok. Service was good. Food was meh. I ordered pad see ewe with veggies. Definitely not the flat noodles. Not sure what the sauce was. Veg was ok. Limited choices for vegan which was odd for a Thai place. Maybe because it's located in the meat capital of the US. Not even a veggie fried spring roll. They gave us menus came to the table with 16 items crossed off, like literally, crossed off with a sharpie. Just weird read more

This place has really gone downhill. Used to be a great value, and everything I'd tried here in the past was really flavorful. Stopped in this week and the service was extremely slow, food was incredibly bland and there was very little food for the cost. Will not be coming back, sadly. read more

So so bad. Paid extra for beef with our pad kee mao. I took one bite and pushed it all off to the side. Tough and tasted like liver. My daughter had pad see ew with tofu. The tofu was cold like it was straight out of the frig. The rest of the dish was marginal. She loves Thai food and was so disspointed. Small portions and high prices. There were only two other tables there on a Friday evening - bad sign for sure! The service was excellent though. read more

Not happy with the constant price hiking. Food is average at best. Don't like paying 14$ for Pho especially when the quality of meat isn't great. Shrimp fried rice is priced ridiculously. I don't think I'll be coming here anymore. I'd rather drive down to Cedar Rapids for quality Vietnamese food. read more

There were two tables with people sitting at them. Four at each table. Our food was not served all at the same time. Two of us we served and then a few minutes later the other two got their food. Waitress lacked any energy at all. I had the tofu pad Thai and it tasted like there was fish sauce in it. I didn't finish my meal and didn't bother taking left overs home. read more

I live in Houston and was here visiting my sister. This place was clean and service was good. I ordered the chicken pho and fresh spring rolls. My mom ordered the steak pho and brother yellow curry. We all enjoyed our food. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to find a place with some authentic Vietnamese tasting dishes in Iowa. I would highly recommend. read more

Ordered takeout: the curries had no flavor, the phò was equally flavorless. Chicken Satay was OK, everything else was terrible.

I have since moved away from Waterloo/CFs, but I do come back because I have family in the area. For anyone and everyone who is looking for some authentic, reasonably SE Asian/Thai food, this IS a good place to go. I base this on two criteria. 1. Waterloo/Cedar Falls ain't exactly a large, metropolitan area, thus the diversity in cuisine and the public which they serve is not diverse. So it takes courage for the meat-and-potatoes American to venture from their bubble and try something new. 2. As far as *real* authentic cuisine goes, this is not bad! It is truly a gem that some authenticity has come out to the hick-ville, cornfields of Iowa. I applaud the owners/chefs to prepare such new foods and bring this city into a new realm of culinary consciousness. I gave a review earlier on the service, dining spaces, bathrooms, and food, this place has not lost its touch. I encourage everybody to try the food. Even the most novice of Thai-lovers can attempt pad-thai and reasonably be satisfied. I have three kids, two boys who are PICKY with their foods, picky enough that I'd smack them on their heads to venture away from chicken nuggets. But fortunately they BOTH ask me for pad thai on Friday nights (from our local thai restaurant), Asian Fusion did play a significant role in enlightening my boys' palate (thanks!). read more

People definitely sleep on Asian Fusion. I don't think I've had one item I didn't like. the chicken satay is definitely a favorite of mine. And their curry is AMAZING. Sakura is good and all but Asian Fusion is really where it's at. read more

A nice surprise. Fresh veggies. Great flavors. Pleasant atmosphere. Not sure why others are ragging on the place, I have yet to have a bad experience, bad dish (have had 6 different meals there so far), or anything else negative to say. Kids love the Pad Thai. Wife likes the fact that you can increase the heat from 1 to 5. I love the fact that it doesn't break the bank to take a family of 4 out to dinner unlike some of the other national pre-processed salt induced coma chain restaurants that dot University Ave. I mean, it's not mind blowing food. Let's face it, we live in Cedar Falls, IA. There is not much around here that is mind blowing. What it is however is a good selection of fresh Asian cuisine in a family friendly atmosphere. I honestly do not think you can go wrong at least trying this place out. *****UPDATE 04/05/18***** Well, I am not going to take any stars away (yet), I am still leaning in the "Yay! I'm a fan" rating, but have been losing faith over the past 6 months. I usually get the Pad Kee Mao, and it has recently been hit or miss, almost as if whichever cook is there that day cooks it slightly different. Sometimes chock-full of flavor, other times, not so much. So yeah, not sure whats happening there. Other dishes are good. Veggies remain fresh. Service is good. But I have been trying other places lately and have found myself not returning as often. I still have faith in them and would recommend them as a "must try" joint, but I would not be surprised if they under-impressed even moderate Thai food fans. read more

Asian Fusion - a restaurant with a bar and a television - Asian Fusion Near Me - Cedar Falls, Iowa

Much needed place around the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area. This is the only pho place in the area to my knowledge, glad they are around. Pho is good enough to keep the people coming back in. Broth is a little darker, decent flavor and nothing to different beyond that. Been here twice and it was fine both times. The eggrolls are worth a try as well. They have a good menu and fills a much needed hole in this area. read more

Now this is good Thai!! I had ordered from Ginger house earlier today and was very disappointed with both the pad tai and the Thom yum. Not the case here. The Thom yum is spicy and rich as it should be with lots of mushrooms, tomatoes and meat. The pad see ew is great too. The noodles are thick, the chicken isn't just little cubes. Also ordered firecracker shrimp. Very good and had fresh vegetable slices. Good stuff all of it! If/when I come back, I'll likely try some of their pho. I expect it will be as good as my order tonight. read more

I'll start by saying I give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe I went at the wrong time of night (7 on a Friday). We waited nearly an hour for our food (some pork egg rolls, red curry, and vermicelli). There were tables near us who were seated when we walked in, and they only got their food about 10-15 minutes before us. After waiting for my Jackfruit smoothie to be prepared, it was quite an enjoyable taste, somewhere between a banana and mango. I desperately missed the traditional tapioca balls or jelly though... it could have used it. The shredded pork egg rolls where very tasty too! They come with a rice paper wrapping and the same sweet/sour sauce they serve with the vermicelli. After having these two items, we grew increasingly hungry for our entrees. My vermicelli with slices pork and egg roll was pretty tasty, but I've had better down the road at Viet Noodle (where I can add in a red chili paste and hoisin sauce to my tasting). The red curry was a COMPLETE disappointment. It was like water flavored with spices. There was little to no coconut flavoring (which there should be in curry) and it was hard to finish. The only upside to the curry was the addition of eggplant. I didn't know there could be such a horrible curry in the Cedar Valley... Total, our bill was $32 for our appetizer ($4), two entrees($10 for vermicelli and $12 for the curry), and a smoothie ($4). For that price, your time and taste are better off going 3 miles east down University to Viet Noodle in Waterloo: http://www.yelp.com/biz/viet-noodles-cedar-falls , 2936 University Ave, WATERLOO, IA 50701. read more

Asian Fusion - Take out box - Asian Fusion Near Me - Cedar Falls, Iowa

I had the pad kee Mao at 3 peppers spicy and it was tasteless. The spice was a bit too much but that could have been my fault. Still the whole dish had no flavor and was just so dry. The only thing that was good was the tofu which is really hard to fuck up anyways. The appetizer was the shredded pork rolls which were ok but also extremely dry. I'm the end I drank more water than ate food and I wouldn't recommend either the food to anyone. Also the waiter barely came to fill our water and never asked how out meal was or what was wrong with my full plate of food that I didn't want to take with me, just charged us and made us wait for so long we just left exact change and left the resteraunt. read more

Asian Fusion - Leftovers I'm leaving at the resteraunts. Bleh - Asian Fusion Near Me - Cedar Falls, Iowa

Absolutely love this place. I have had the same servers for years and they are so sweet. My favorite dishes are the Bun Ho (H8) with rice noodles, beef salad, and spring rolls. My kid enjoys the chicken satay with yummy sauce. Delicious! read more

Had lunch there, I will start by saying the chicken satay sauce was wonderful, the chicken itself looked pretty standard but mixed with the sauce the flavor is exceptional. The service was fast and Other than that it is pretty underwhelming, that's not to say it was bad, I suppose it passes as Thai food. I ordered the red curry and while it was flavor-wise, it was very watery resembling a soup, leaving the desire for the creamy texture unfulfilled. read more

I have no idea why I haven't tried their food sooner because it is absolutely fabulous I had the spring rolls and the firecracker shrimp and the pho and it all was outstanding!!!! It was the BIGGEST BOWL OF PHO I've ever seen or had! Right next door to A List Nails and a great place to get tasty food! read more

Really great customer service and food. My favorite dish is their pho with tofu, it's delicious and comes with a lot of veggies. Also very affordable. read more

I absolutely loved the Pad Thai with chicken. Delicate flavor and pleasing presentation. My food arrived fairly quickly. The server was friendly and attentive. He offered to refill my drink 3 times. And because I was rather thirsty, I accepted each time. The establishment was clean, beautifully designed and spaciously arranged. We chose to sit in a booth. Normally, I prefer tables. But these booths provided such an abundance of elbow room that I actually felt quite comfortable. The price of my meal with the Pad Thai, a Diet Pepsi, and tax was $12.84, which seems to me like a reasonable price for Thai food. Overall, a pleasant experience. read more

The service here is really nice. I am vegetarian and was in a rush but my waiter sweetly suggested that red curry with tofu would go really well. The food was ready in less than 5 minutes. Not kidding!! I actually looked at the time. It was pretty yum and the curry portion is good for two. A few other suggestions for drinks were also welcome! :) will come again if I visit cedar falls read more

We've been to this thai-vietnamese restaurant twice. It's descent quality vietnamese food, fresh and well prepared, without dazzling. We've had the bahn xeo, crisp savory vietnamese crepes, which where really good. Chewy and crispy and full of fresh veggies. We tried a vietnamese rice dish too, with a somewhat bland meat loaf, and vermicelli with something that might be tribes or beef tendons. It was salty and yummy, and chewy to perfection. Pickled pieces of sweet cabbage and some rather dull meat. The first time we went here with our two kids, the server was down right rude, impatient and inattentive. The second time it was a lot better. I had the three flavor drink, which was also good, even though it was obviously from cans. The interior is minimalistic and clean. All in all, we did enjoy our visit. Possibly the best place to eat in the cedar valley read more

Alright I am officially in love. This place has a very misleading name. If you look at the name, it appears as a "fusion" type of restaurant. So regardless of the time we went by, we often time purely ignore this little treasure. Finally we pulled trigger and went, let's give it a try. The interior of the restaurant was very neat and modern, and the price certainly reflected that (still reasonable). The menu wasn't extraordinary lengthy, unlike most of uber authentic restaurants which tend to make you ended up feeling lost in translation and have to order "#Z108". To my surprise, 80% of listed item was very traditionally Vietnamese, with the weird 20% Thai stuff. We ordered an appetizer, Viet crepe. I went for my classic choice of Pho, and bf got something house special, which included a amazingly seasoned T-bone steak, fresh vege, rice noodle with meat, and egg-pork meatloaf. The crepe itself was wonderful, crunchy and perfectly done with shrimps (could be a little more generous) and fresh bean sprouts. The only complaint I would give is it was a little too greasy. The Pho was what I expected except the broth came up luke warm and little under salted. The house special was so good, I was jealous at him with the food. One bite gave so many different flavor, and it was a meal that would make you feel so full, yet still healthy. Drink wise, bf got young coconut water (with truly "young" coconut pieces lol). Very refreshing. I again went for the Viet coffee and, sigh, another fail. You better really LOVE espresso to drink that 5 shots size of coffee. Waiter was very nice and kept on checking on us to make sure we wasn't confused with what we want. My gut feeling is this place should truly be called a Viet restaurant, with that weird 20% Thai cuisine. Most of the negative review seems to focus on the Thai part and I guess I will just simply avoid them. read more

I wasn't overly impressed by this place. They did have really good service. But the food was sub-par. When trying out new Asian restaurants, I typically get the pad Thai to compare. If I can taste the fish sauce, it's not good Thai, and I could taste the fish sauce. I don't like seafood, and I could hardly eat it because it was so fishy. I also feel like it was too "chainy" for my taste. Asian restaurants should all be divey with the best food around. My sisters love the place. Maybe it's just me, but it did not pass my pad Thai test, and I was very underwhelmed. read more

This place is amazing! Real food. Authentic and a variety of different dishes. Waitstaff is incredibly friendly and competent.

One of the best restaurants in the Cedar Valley. Also one of the only places you can find authentic Vietnamese food. Try the firecracker shrimp and the pho! read more

The food here is great and the service is amazing. One of the best Phone locations in Iowa. The food comes out fast and portions leave nothing to be desired. Getting the spring rolls as an appetizer is a must. read more

My favorite spot in the Cedar Valley! Amazing Thai food and love the staff! I've introduced so many friends and family here and they all love it!! read more

If you don't hear the sound of a wok from the kitchen, it's not authentic. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Food was simple and not Americanized too much, delicious. read more

I'm gonna keep this simple: the pho was terrible. The service was friendly and fast, and they may have better things on the menu, but don't get the pho. I ordered the pho dac biet and the meatballs had a weird after taste. The broth was bland and too greasy, and gave me a stomachache. I was hoping to find a good Iowa fix for some pho but was sorely disappointed. read more

Short & to the point. Staff suggested we take our food to go since they close in 30 minutes. To go orders were both wrong once we got home. Tried to call 4 times on 4 different days to reach a manager who was never there & no one knew when a manager would be there. read more

Amazing food, even better dining experience! Would recommend to anyone in the Cedar Falls area.

This is our second time here and I have loved everything that I've had. Today I tried the shrimp pad Thai - loved it along with the calamari salad! read more

My fiancé and I were super bummed to find out Viet Noodle, a local Vietnamese restaurant, had closed. We were on our way to get some Japanese and out of nowhere we saw Asian Fusion! Tucked back in the corner of a strip mall parking lot. It is now our new official date spot! We started with the delicious spring rolls served raw, none of that fried crap! Then we moved onto the amazing beef skewers, and we split a Giant bowl of Pho. Definitely worth checking out! read more

This was an excellent surprise! My wife & I went here last night. I lived in Thailand for three years and my wife has gone there to Thailand with me several times, and we love Thai food. I had the sortam and Pad See Oo. Tasted great! The somtam had just the right amount of spice, and the Pad See Oo was loaded with shrimp. My wife was very happy with her Pad Thai. Really nice atmosphere, and we'll definitely be back again. read more
