super casual, fast, and reasonably priced sushi; I'll take it. Great for when you want cheap sushi, but you don't want it enough to trust the local Kroger. You get what I'm saying. read more

FUSIAN - Philly roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

They made sushi into another Piada, chipotle, or bibibob. The sushi rice is spit out of a machine, the person over the counter just places the wrapper over the rice and adds whatever protein and veggies you want in it. Then it is placed into another machine that cuts it into pieces. If you want fast sushi for a not to expensive price, then this is the spot for you. I would rather go to a grocery store sushi and have them make it by hand. At least you know it's someone who can actually roll it by hand. Disappointed on another FUSIAN Asian type restaurant. read more

I've been here a few times and enjoy it very much. It's hard to find fresh sushi so the fact that you watch them assemble it is wonderful. This time I tried their bowl, which is just ok. I tried he kaelo bowl which has kale, tuna, pineapple, cucumber, almonds, sesame seeds, edamame and avacodo. The flavor is great! The only downfall to this place is the parking and how long the line gets but they can't really help that. I will be back. :) read more

So, if you know me - you know that I absolutely LOVE sushi! I love any and all kinds of sushi. However, I have been doing my best to explore different sushi places around Columbus, OH to help support local businesses - but it really has not been working out for me. I have two sushi spots that I frequent quite often and just might get back to those two spots since I've had some pretty poor sushi experiences over the past three weeks. Three in three weeks! So, the kids and I had Fusian at Easton a couple of weeks ago and it was GREAT! We loved it! We were able to watch and see that the sushi was being made fresh and we were able to dine in and enjoy the fresh sushi. The irony of this is that we actually stopped by this Fusian (Grandview) a half an hour prior, but decided to leave since they are not offering dine in. So - that's where this review actually begins...The sushi that I ordered for delivery was not fresh...at all. I am not sure if it's because they are only offering carryout/takeout that maybe select rolls are being prepped and made ahead of time, but I did not enjoy my sushi at all. The rice, the veggies, and the tuna/salmon...did not taste like they were freshly prepared. Both of my rolls immediately fell apart as soon as I picked them up with the chopsticks as well. I was so disappointed in the rolls that I didn't even end up eating half of the rolls...I'm not sure I'll return back to this location, but do hope they improve the quality and freshness of their sushi rolls especially when they're only option is carryout/takeout right now. read more

I got food poisoning from this location. I had it for dinner last night and something felt off and the workers were laughing at me as they were making my roll. I've ate here for years. I will never be eating sushi again, so thanks for that. read more

First-time eating sushi in a place like this! The reviews that say this place is the *chipotle* of the sushi world are 100% accurate. I put an order online and picked it up 10 minutes later. It tasted good for the price! If you are looking for high quality restaurant-style sushi, this place is probably not right for you. read more

Always a fan of fusian for nights where I need a quick dinner. I swear they raised their prices...??? But if you order a bowl, you will get your money's worth! read more

FUSIAN - Smoked salmon bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Perfect for quick, healthy asian cuisine. I have been here a few times, the first time I grabbed a salad and really enjoyed it! The second time I had sushi and had to say I wasn't a fan at all. One of the rolls had come short a piece so they had included a whole extra sushi role in my bag which I discovered when I got home which was super nice. Something I appreciate about Fusian is that there are not a lot of other spots like this one around, and there are a lot of options here but I will most likely be sticking to the salads and bowls. :) read more

FUSIAN - Salad - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Definitely one of my favorite sushi places because it follows that "chipotle style" of ordering so I can get as many veggies and other toppings that I like without ending up with a large bill at the end, wbe the case at other restaurants when I add more veggies. If I want something slightly more filling than I asked for their bowls and all of their toppings are fresh and ready to eat. They recently added ramen to their menu which I am really excited to try out very soon! read more

This is a great sushi option if you live in the downtown area. I was drawn to try FUSIAN based on the "build-your-own" sushi. I loved the idea of being able to completely customize my sushi from start to finish! I placed an order for customized sushi, a seaweed salad, and miso soup. I first tried the miso, and I have to be honest, I was a little underwhelmed. I would probably skip the miso soup here next time - it just didn't have much flavor. I was hoping for it to be a little saltier! The seaweed salad, on the other hand, was really fantastic, and honestly one of the better seaweed salads I've had in Columbus. The seaweed had a nice bite and texture to it, the dressing was delicious, and it was a decent portion size for the price. Now onto the main event - the sushi! I ordered an inside-out roll (seaweed on the inside), with tuna, avocado, cucumber, scallion, sweet soy sauce, and tempura crunch and sesame seeds on top. Overall the flavor of the sushi was fantastic and I really enjoyed it. My one qualm was that the roll was so large that it was hard to eat; I wish it had been rolled a little tighter! Overall I enjoyed it though, especially because I was able to choose the exact fillings and toppings that I wanted. FUSIAN is a little expensive so I don't think I would come here all the time, but it's a nice treat for when you're craving sushi! I ordered on DoorDash so I can't speak to what the experience is like at the actual location, but I'm excited to come back once Covid is over! read more

FUSIAN - Build your own sushi, seaweed salad, miso soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Fusian is a place I can (and often do) frequent weekly. Whether it is for lunch or a quick easy dinner Fusian is my go to place for a good sushi roll. They have create your own sushi roll, or bowls. You go down the line and tell the sushi creators behind the counter what you would like in your roll. They even have sides like miso soup, seaweed salad, cucumber salad, a ginger lettuce salad, and some great drink options to choose from. With locations all around Columbus you are probably not far from a Fusian. Parking is usually convenient at each location. There is indoor or some type of outdoor seating at all of them. read more

Where was THIS Fusian the first time I visited!? Everything was 100% better! The restaurant was CLEAN and bright. The servers were much more attentive and careful with cleanup between making the rolls. I seriously don't recognize it as the same place we went to last time. My boyfriend didn't either! We were so impressed this time around. I tried the tuna with the spicy mayo and masago and it was very good. My boyfriend had the chicken with veggies and he said it was much tastier this time around and that the chicken was better-prepared. We also tried their house beverages. The ginger lemonade was good but the citrus mint was even better! I am so glad the owner reached out to me and convinced me to try Fusian a second time. Totally worth it! read more

These things just keep popping up all over the place. I know this has been here awhile, and I've passed it, but hadn't stopped in. Sweetie was out and picked some rolls up for our lunch, so she guessed at what to put in the ones for me. One had salmon, beets, peppers, and spicy mayo, among other things. It had a little heat and a lot of crunch. The salmon actually stood out among all that, and was fresh and enjoyable. The other roll had shredded "crab," asparagus, roe, and a few other veggies. It was lighter and more spring-like in flavor. I was very hungry, so two rolls was a good size for me. Price and quality are very reasonable. She said service was good (though her order of three rolls brought a surprised look and a glance at her pregnant belly...) read more

Fusion is my favorite place to get sushi for many reasons. 1. Their nutrition calculator online helps me track the food I eat. I also like to see what combinations I can try next time that will keep me within my calorie count for the day! 2. Natural flavors and fresh ingredients. They have the kitchen right behind the bar where you order. You can see everything the cooks are doing and I love the transparency of that. 3. The price is great! You can get a filling meal for a very reasonable price. 4. The taste is something I crave all the time. I live in Pittsburgh most of the year, so when I visit family in Columbus this is the place I stop at first. Whether you're new to sushi or a sushi guru, this place is for you! read more

I thought about trying Fusian ever since hearing all the buzz about it. It's another of those counter service and work your way as you pick your items things. The best part is the opportunity to try many different sushi rolls. It has so much to choose from. The reason why this place sucks is because the food isn't worth it's exorbitant price and the service is terrible. I have serious problems when hearing the word fusion. It suggests a dumbed down version of the authentic thing that makes it more palatable to those who are too squeamish to try it. The rolls here themselves are actually pretty good. It's much more better than grocery store quality. The problem is they are way too expensive. It's not that good, sorry. The vegetable rolls are about $7. It's an okay price for a sushi roll. There is no charge for substituting brown rice. It comes as a seaweed wrap, but it's a bit more if you want a soy wrap. There are vegetables like cucumbers to add with no charge for as many as you want. It's not big so you need to order more than one. This is where you get in trouble. I would come to Fusian again if the prices were appropriately adjusted. It's too expensive for sushi that is supposed to be aimed at those looking for something not quite authentic and for something fast. This is popular but it's hard to see why. read more

FUSIAN - Vegetable Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

My version of fast food but healthier. I absolutely love this place. I love it even more now that they have these rice bowls. Also they have been playing around with their recipes as well as their offerings here trying to find out what works the best. I definitely appreciate this about the restaurant. Quick, casual and convenient! The staff at everyone of the Fusians I've been at have been very hospitable and that's a huge plus. This trip I got a rice bowl with white and brown rice, steak and chicken, cucumbers, kale and carrots. Let me just say that the I am loving the kale that they have as an option and hope that they keep it. If you want to eat healthy and quick this is definitely a spot that you want to frequent. Everything is so fresh! read more

I like to make my own sushi bowl with half shrimp and half roasted salmon. And the sweet soy sauce is amazing. Highly recommend. read more

4 years ago, I left a 5 star review. I loved fusion. Went once a week every week basically since it opened. I loved the options. The last two times we went, it was disappointing : ( I asked for brown rice, they gave me white rice so I mentioned that I said brown rice. She rolled her eyes. We come to this location for the gluten free tempura shrimp that they've had for a long time. I said, "I'll have the gluten free tempura shrimp please." They said it wasn't gluten free and I said, "Really? Because it has been for a very long time." She said, "Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't." This is very risky and potentially dangerous for people with gluten allergies. They could hospitalized if they order the shrimp that has been gluten free for a year and all of a sudden isn't but wait sometimes it is? So anyway, I get over it. Then I order green onion, they grabbed red onion. I said cucumber then they added jalapeño instead. I didn't enjoy having to correct them multiple times. THEN the employees were arguing with each other the whole time in front of everyone in line. A guy next to me said, "Wow this is awkward." Next, I asked for gluten free soy sauce at the end and they said, "I don't think we have that." Even though they have had it every time over the last few years. I don't know if it was the staff these past two times or what was going on. I loved Fusion before. This is such a bummer. read more

This is great place to go for a healthy meal with an Asian flair. A tip: you can order ahead using their app and earn rewards through the app as well. Inside the ambiance is light and airy and with a minimalist and modern vibe. There is a drink station with assorted choices, but they didn't seem to have the usual Coke/Pepsi fountain sodas. If you ordered ahead go straight to the register. Otherwise you get in line to order and customize your roll or bowl. I've always liked the left coast (aka California) roll which comes with the usual crab filling and other veggies. It's totally customizable, though, and there is a "create your own roll" option too. Try the tempura crunch topping for a light crunch that goes well contrasting with the otherwise soft texture of the roll. Assorted sauces are a available with the wasabi and ginger roll. The left coast roll was tasty and fresh. The veggies were crunchy and the rice just right. Again, try the tempura crunch which adds a wonderful texture to the roll. The staff are usually.. ok. No one has seemed particularly smily or friendly though nobody has been rude. Overall this is a cool option for a fast and healthy sushi meal. read more

I had the California Roll as is and bathed in spicy mayo, I wouldn't consider myself a religious person, but if I had to check a box it would be for spicy mayo. The roll was great and FUSIAN is incredibly reliable for good sushi. read more

FUSIAN - a box of sushi with sauce - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

We're not in town very often but when we are we like to stop by and get fusion. Usually the service and the ways they make our rolls are spot on however I went Sunday afternoon today and they were so sloppy. There was no one behind me but they were rushing to make my order where my roll fell apart even tho it wasn't overstuffed so the person tried to restuff it from the sides instead of re-rolling and cut it and mostly fell apart even more. The sushi was no longer rolled it put it in to the container and pretty much tossed the bag at us when we checked out. read more

Pricey, but so incredibly delicious. It's crazy how fresh everything tastes. I would literally eat this everyday if I could. But man, why must it be so expensive? read more

Super quick wraps or bowls and they're very good. But I have to admit I longed for a traditional soda to drink. They have no coke or Pepsi products, or even RC or bigK. Just interesting flavors of lemonade, tea, or water. I guess their focus is on the food but I really wanted a regular drink!! read more

FUSIAN - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Bad food, bad service, and bad vibes. This place has terrible customer customer service. The food takes forever and is often sloppy put together. the food always seems to be either woefully over or under seasoned and their sauces are kind of disgusting. There are many other sushi places in the area you should check out. read more

**2/9/17 update** Fusian has joined the poke bowl craze. At least at this location. And their offering is a good one. Somewhat interestingly, their bowls include kale. I wss skeptical, as kale isn't my favorite. But it works here (even if it could have been massaged a little more/a little softer). They have a few pre-made suggestions or, as with the rolls, you can build your own. I trusted them on my first go round, and the result was a well-coordinated mix of flavors. The sauces, toppings, fish, and yes, even the kale, all worked together to yield a delicious whole. ** prior review** Fans of fast and healthy food rejoice! You no longer have to visit campus or trek all the way to Easton to get a hold of Fusian's choose your own adventure sushi roll. The concept is as familiar as it obvious: They have a variety of sushi fillings from which you can choose, and then you pick any or all of them when you build your roll. Authentic? Not on your life. Tasty? You bet! Having frequently visited the other Columbus locations, the ingredients are uniformly fresh, a characteristic that holds true here as well. This location also offers the same original compliment of beverages. Usually I don't drink anything other than water while dining out, but Fusian is one of the lone exceptions. These drinks are great and refreshing. The interior design here is in my opinion the best of the local outlets. It's similar, yes, but seems to have much better natural light. That in turn better sets off its clean and minimalist design. If there is anything that troubles me about the location is that I've heard reports of long lines. Not surprised, it is both delicious and new. read more

Not bad , but not great. It's pretty subpar sushi, which it is considered "fast food" It does the job but nothing really special. I do appreciate all the cooked options for protein. I also appreciate I can customize it down to every single ingredient. If I don't have time to sit down or unable to order online this is most definitely a convenient option and my go to.! :) read more

I haven't actually been to this fusian location, but I did attend their pop-up at Stump to test their new sushi bowls. Their staff were all very courteous and helpful in deciding what to order! I opted for the highland bowl without mushrooms and added avocado. First of all, the portion was generous and it was half of what this location is actually offering, so the price of the bowl (around 11-12$) is definitely worth it! The food itself was incredibly fresh and cooked appropriately. The brined chicken was absolutely perfect and tender, and the sauces paired very nicely. I've only been to fusian once before on campus, but after this positive experience I definitely intend on heading over to the grand view location for another bowl! It makes sushi less intimidating for people who don't normally eat it (me), as it is more familiar as a "rice bowl." Good job fusian, see you soon! read more

This place was so freaking banging that we ordered delivery from here not once, but twice during our visit. As someone who has celiac disease (so GF) and vegetarian, finding safe food places when I travel has been a challenge. However, this place was good to go, having everything so incredibly well labled. My partner did their poke bowl both nights with crab, while I built my own amazing veggie roll (with GF tempura crunch!) both times. We also tried the miso soup, salad, mango sticky rice, and strawberry chocolate chip sticky rice. Only thing that was so so was the mango mint lemonade, but everything else was SO good, no leftovers either time. Cannot recommend enough, and I am secretly hoping they open another on in Ann Arbor or even Detroit! read more

Bang for your buck: 9/10 Quality: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance/Location: 10/10 Overall: 10/10 We admittedly dragged our feet when it came to trying Fusian. All of our friends sang the praises of this Chipotle-like sushi concept, and while in theory it sounded great, we get hesitant with these build-your-own concepts. Our theory is, we're not chefs; let's leave the recipe building to professionals. And unlike Tex-Mex food like Chipotle, Asian inspired flavors are a little more delicate; there just feels like too much room for error. We were finally moved to try Fusian when we got coupons for free entrees in our Columbus Stories box (can't beat free, right?). We're sad it took us this long to get there, but glad we finally took the plunge. In retrospect, we couldn't tell you what we got other than it was damn delicious. This definitely squashed our trepidations about making a scary gross combination. In fact, the staff was so kind and helpful! They made lovely suggestions along the way while still allowing us space to pick ingredients we knew we love in sushi. We loved that we could do half and half protein! That's a great way to ease into trying something without having to commit, and it helps for people who are indecisive like me (D always knows EXACTLY what kind of sushi he wants while I just hem and haw). We tried the new bowl concept and were wowed by how gorgeous and delicious they were. We didn't doubt Fusian, but we doubted ourselves! The Fusian menu is simple. There's not a ton to choose from, but that's actually okay. We've been really intimidated by some local Poke concepts that seem to have endless options, so for us, less was better. Similarly, they have a decent, but relatively limited, selection of beverages, including some Ohio brewed craft beer. Our only complaint is that edamame is considered a protein and thus costs extra. In the grand scheme, this isn't a huge complaint, but I REALLY just want to add a legume to my tuna without driving up the price. read more

Fusian is the Chipolte of sushi rolls. Always crowded - they're killing it. Surprisingly good tasting sushi rolls. Friendly people. Hip environment. I wish the portion of protein was a little more generous, and I sometimes leave a little hungry if I only have 1 roll, but it's good, fast, inexpensive sushi. Good stuff... read more

This location is the absolute best! I'm a HUGE fan of Fusian--and who wouldn't be? Made-to-order sushi? Yes, please! I've circulated the various locations and while to food quality is consistent and wonderful, service and dining area are not always so similar. So let's talk about service and dining experience: The staff is extremely friendly and patient as you figure out your order. WAY TO GO TEAM! The dining area is generally in order and clean. No, I do not want a puddle of soy sauce on my table. Thank you very much! This location also has some outdoor seating. It's swell on a summer evening. BONUS: A nice addition to the Grandview location is the ease of parking. You pull right on up and your sushi-making process begins! read more

I had this place with a friend, as he thought this place was worth trying. I beg to differ, I like the concept and having the ability to build your own roll, but I feel like the sushi rolls are kind of tiny compared to a traditional roll, the flavors were decent but it did not wow me. I also ordered the Miso soup and it was the nastiest soup I've ever had and it was to the point that it caused me to gag. The location was so busy I just decided to throw my food away and leave instead of complaining. I will stick with authentic sushi joints, everything isn't meant to be Americanized. I am just not a fan, even though I really wanted to. read more

I have been patiently waiting all summer for this location to open since I live close by, and the wait is finally over! Unlike the Fusian on OSU campus, there is onsite parking at this location which is a plus. Also, upon entering, all the employees were very friendly and eager to help. For those unfamiliar with what Fusian is, this a create your own sushi roll restaurant. All of the ingredients are right in front of you and your sushi is prepared and personalized to your tastes while you watch. First you choose your wrap--seaweed or soy with white or brown rice. Next, there are a variety of cooked and uncooked proteins to choose from, including tuna, salmon, steak, tofu, and more. Then you add your veggies and seasonal items of choice--right now it is green apple. Finally, you can top off your roll with a variety of sauces like their delicious spicy mayo, sriracha, or add some crunch with sesame seeds or tempura crunch. This is great to grab on the go since it only takes a few minutes to make, or there is also seating available if you want to dine in. For only $7-8, you get a 10-piece, flavorful and fresh roll made exactly how you want it! read more

FUSIAN - Smoked salmon roll with spicy mayo - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I'm very happy to see this Fusian finally open. It seems like they've been working on this building forever, but it was totally worth it with how nice and clean and great the interior looks. I'm not sure if they've overhauled all of the Fusians, but the campus one definitely didn't look like this the last time I was there! Luckily, after the first week, it seems the rush has died down, or at least they don't have a lot of business at lunch on a Saturday, because the place was empty. Everything's pretty straight forward if you haven't been here before, and I noticed they've marked now what country the proteins are coming from (or at least just the salmon and tuna). Everything here looks super fresh, and the rolls you get are a decent size. Everything tastes great here, and it's a nice healthy, filling, and quick meal if you're in a hurry. My only complaints is that they could do with a few more options of fish, or at least have a spicy version like they used to have (At least I'm pretty sure they did). I guess they weren't selling well. The price point seems reasonable if you get a lot of toppings on your roll; otherwise, you'll be paying more for a simple tuna roll here then you would at Akai Hana. Lucky for me, I load it up. Is this my first choice for sushi in town? Probably not. Is it a great place to grab sushi if you're looking for something quick that's not a burger or a burrito? Definitely! With all of the fast casual and fast food variations, Fusian sets itself apart with quick sushi, and I'd welcome that any time to Columbus. read more

Place is really good. Not gourmet sushi or anything but tastes very clean and very healthy. Also can't beat the price for what you're getting. My husband works down the street and it's our go to spot for lunch when I come visit him. read more
