    Restaurant front end and price board

    We came here yesterday for Sunday lunch with my parents , sis and bro-in-law. Although not many choices in terms of buffet, some dishes were really tasty and we like them a lot! I liked short ribs ( not too salty): tender and juicy. I also liked crabs ( salty though), French fries and pastries ( mini sized) . Sushi that I actually could eat ( both fish and rice). The price per person was reasonable in today's highly inflated economy. We will be back!

    Dried fried ribs, ham fried rice, baked seasoned chicken, shrimp and veggies & salt and pepper shrimp.

    Our go to local buffet, it's a family staple. This has been around for years and our families have been coming here since for ever. There's always great service and fresh food.

    Is this even food?

    Tip: do not trust the table of 18-24 year olds across from you when they are doing their Yelp reviews out loud and rate this place a 4-5 out of 5. I often question whether businesses survive the pandemic and I often ask myself how horrible places like this still exist. It was bad prior to the pandemic and it's food and service even more subpar afterwards. Came here on a weekend dinner and can't believe I paid 33 bucks for subpar food and service. The entrees on the hot food line run thin most of the time and the food dry to the point where you question..."what is this mystery meat?" And you read the label which says sweet and sour pork. You bite until it and you question if you just had pork or a piece of jerky. All you can eat? Apparently, if you want the "better" food such as oysters and seafood, you have to bribe the waitress to save you a plate. Saw a customer ask for oyster and the waitress asked the customer for 2 dollars to save him a plate. I don't see a sign where it says two dollars more for seafood. Unfortunately, you don't serve yourself drinks from the fountain, you must ask the staff member for a cup of soda. Also, keep in mind that if you don't tip or tip enough upon leaving, expect to eat an earful from the wait staff and them chasing you for a tip. Be sure to bring your one dollar bills to tip them.

    I used dine the one located @ Oakland China town, 1st time here on a Sat., went in 11:35am 1st customer of the day, lunch $22.99 per person (No senior discount) food here was fresh good with multiple choices. Especially great for people into Sea foods- claims, mussels, shrimp, sushi dishes and crabs (limited to 4 pieces per person). Yes, I recommended.

    I came here for a family birthday dinner. It's located in greenhouse so there's plenty of parking…read morearound, even if it means just a tiny bit further away. The restaurant is really big and we sat at a table for 14 pretty comfortably. We were also here on a Saturday night and the restaurant was full. The service is your typical Chinese restaurant vibe where you leave a little bit emotionally abused after paying for overly priced menu items. We did the à la cart and easily spent up to $1500. Better off with the family plan meal but nothing was of interest to us except one or two dishes. It took forever to come out and I mean FOREVER to a point where we almost cancelled a few dishes and called it a night, but they kept saying it's being made. With as many people and as massive as the restaurant was, and the price tags, I was expecting a more efficient service. A couple of times we saw our dish being brought to the wrong table and the people going "oh we didn't order this." With all of that out of the way, I am giving them an average score of 3 starts because the food did bring them back up. It was actually really good. My favorite of all things we ordered was their sea bass with string beans. The sea bass was fried crispy, garnished salty and still soft inside. It paired really well with the string beans. We ordered a bunch of other things that I couldn't tell you what the name was in English and they were above average taste wise. Their complimentary dessert however, was mass produced and tasted like they added too much water to it. This was the only one I was disappointed in. I still say this place is extremely overpriced but for a family meal experience and if you ever want to impress a date, why not.

    This is the restaurant of choice for my wife's family gatherings, and she has a pretty big family,…read moreso we're here quite a bit. To be honest, Fusion used to be terrible, and I used to absolutely hate coming here. Food was slow in coming, what came out was often cold, the dining room was loud, and service was impersonal, at best. On one visit, half the menu was unavailable, requested silverware was crooked, and numerous glasses, bowls, and plates were chipped or damaged. On another visit, I saw multiple families sneak out of the restaurant, walk to McDonald's across the plaza, and smuggle food back in to tide them over until their orders came. After a while, I wasn't alone in meeting the decree of, "come to Fusion on Saturday," with a groan. However, when HL Peninsula opened in Castro Valley and established itself as a threat to Fusion's business, it served as a wake-up call. Food immediately got better (from "below-average" to "know what to order and you'll be fine"), the speed of service improved, and food temperature became consistent and proper. It's not QUITE a "different restaurant" feel, and there are still some negatives. It's still loud and service could still be better (there have been times where chicken wings have taken over an hour to come out, which is a "should not occur"). However, at least I don't dread coming here anymore.

    Their menu inside and their receipts spell their name as one word...Jingege. Why different on this…read morelisting? There's usually a pretty good line right by the register, so this place is pretty well known by the Asian locals. Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup ($16/2*) First outing here I sat for lunch and tried this. Surprisingly disappointing seeing how busy and popular this place is. The wontons were okay, decent flavor with a strong sesame oil presence. But they weren't that plump and luxurious, just seemed like homemade/amateur versions. Which is fine, except given the nicer restaurant feel, I just expected something more elevated. The noodles were fine, super thin egg noodles that had a nice QQ. BUT their broth was so bland and unremarkable that it kinda ruined the whole experience. I couldn't even taste/detect the protein that made up the stock, just tasted like murky liquid to me. And zero condiments on the table, so I just ate the wontons and the plain tasting noodles cuz the broth couldn't offer anything to the noodles. Womp womp. And their bowl of choice is very weird to eat from. Super tall bowl that if you leave a spoon in there it will sink and be submerged for you to fish out...in piping hot liquid. If I would have reviewed this place just on this one visit, then it surely would have been a sub 3* rating. But I knew I couldn't leave my impression with that one lone visit. Roast Duck - Half ($20/4*) Came back for some take-out deli items and I was handsomely rewarded. Total 180 experience from the soup outing. Their ducks here are slightly more expensive than most others for the area. But it is still worth it imo. They cut it with good skill and even for a take-out box they present it nicely, with the shape of duck still somewhat intact. The skin is not crisp at all but it is very well rendered. Some pieces were not that salty at all but some other pieces are well seasoned, which I thought was strange. But overall a very solid roast duck is to be found here. There's also a big scoop of these tiny beans that are slightly sweet almost like baked beans just not as gloopy. But the bean texture is very al dente, almost crunchy, which I found very strange. Macao Roast Pork w/ Rice ($19/4.5*) This is crazy good...I'll even say special. Super seasoned pork belly is roasted til the skin gets crisp...like chicharon status, except it is just a very thin layer of crispness. So the balance between the sturdy crunch and juicy flavorful meat was practically perfect. It is definitely on the salty side, almost the same intenseness as eating Spam with white rice, but white rice offsets those salty components beautifully. And they garnish this massive plate with perfectly blanched gai lan (Chinese Broccoli) and some other pickled greens that add a nice sweet and tangy component. So between the decadent pork, white rice and diverse greens offerings just made this a complete one stop shop that could make a regular out of me. There's also a Share Tea next door so I've got a harmonious tandem going on here. Lucky Ducky Me yassss!
