The picture showed three full shrimp, but my rolls had just one shrimp cut in half. The rest of the roll was mostly lettuce. It was incredibly disappointing and felt very misleading. The red curry was okay, but the summer rolls were a complete letdown. I feel like I was scammed based on what was advertised versus what I actually received. This was a horrible experience, and unfortunately, I won't be ordering from here again. If I could give them no stars, I would.

Overall, this was very enjoyable experience, and we will definitely be going back.

From…read morethe moment you walk in, you're hit with that comforting aroma of rich broth simmering for hours -- the kind that lets you know they actually care about the food they're serving. I ordered the hot bowl pho, and it was perfection. The broth was deep, flavorful, and not greasy at all -- balanced just right. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the meat was tender enough to melt in your mouth. You can tell everything is fresh, down to the crisp bean sprouts and fragrant basil. First time hating short ribs in my pho and it was amazing! Can't wait to go back and try the oxtail. The service? Top-notch. Everyone was friendly and quick without making you feel rushed. And the portions? Huge. You definitely get your money's worth. Whether you're craving comfort food or introducing someone to pho for the first time, The Bowl is the move. Easily my new go-to spot -- 10/10 recommend.

Not good! 1…read more Ordered Vietnamese Iced Coffee with sweetened condensed milk. They served it pre-made in a to-go cup, mixed, and pre-brewed. No phin in sight. When I asked to have it done correctly they brought out a phin, over a glass, with sweetened condensed milk in bottom of brewing glass, but mostly already brewed and coffee in the glass that was lukewarm. Perhaps they do not know how to make it. Flavorless. 2. Ordered pork and shrimp egg rolls. Order came out in about 3 minutes - evidently not fresh, and they were also greasy -- see pic. 3. Ordered pho broth with noodles. Not much broth and all the noodles were actually clumped together (had to pull them apart) - see pic. Broth had a one-note, overly cinnamon flavor. As seen from pic, no space left for broth because so many noodles. Cheap way of serving food. 4. Ordered pork and sausage fried rice. Came out very quickly (evidently pre-made). Was very greasy and had an "off" flavor. Came at a non-busy time, and had food that was not prepared well. Will not return to this restaurant. I prefer Pho Tay Do, as do many Richmond-area chefs.

I could have easily fit all of the base in the palm of my hand, and the topping portions were one non-heaping, small cereal sized spoon each. It is a bummer because it all tasted great, but just wasn't enough food. I think Fusion Bowl should reevaluate the return on investment of rice.

Nothing beats Thai Tuesday at this spot. Whether dining in or ordering to go, the experience is always positive. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely appreciates repeat customers. The food is consistently awesome, with bold flavors and generous portions. The pot stickers deserve special recognition--they are easily the best in the area, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Orders are accurate, well packaged, and ready on time. This is a dependable go-to restaurant that delivers quality, consistency, and great value every visit. read more

The place was completely dead when we got there, around 6:30PM for dinner, but they did have a steady food delivery pickup business going. The guy working the front of house was very friendly and helpful. Their menu is filled with all the typical Thai dishes that are popular. I opted for Larb Gai and a bowl of Tom Yum. The Tim Yum's broth was really good, the mushrooms in it looked like they were over-cooked or canned - either way I don't like mushrooms, so I didn't eat them, but they definitely didn't look appetizing. The rest of the soup was good. The Larb Gai was fresh and tasty. It had the right amount of heat too. Overall - Not bad.
