Food was amazing, owner was attentive and knowledgeable on gluten free items and the food was amazing. The owner was the only one working but got our food out quickly. The prices were great and it was great talking to him. I'd recommend this to anyone to try out and I'll definitely be eating here again!! read more

Fusion - Pad Thai, Beef with Broccoli, Fried Rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - Albany, New York

Super expensive for no reason guy try's to up charge you every item there is but there so called combos the worst service ever as well

Popping onto Yelp just to try to bring people's attention to this criminally under-appreciated little restaurant. I'll admit to having kind of written it off for a long time due to the weird menu/concept (it's hard to trust that a restaurant is going to serve you a burger, some empanadas and a plate of pad Thai and execute any or all of them competently), but the good people at Fusion are serving food that's truly, honestly about three times better than it needs to be (caveat: we've stuck to the more Asian sections of the menu, so I won't make any bold claims about the burgers). The Chinese portion of our family unit said that my drunken noodles reminded him of the stuff that a street vendor sold outside of his middle school, which like, IYKYK (if you don't know, this is about the highest praise a plate of noodles can get). I'm not normally a major pad Thai enthusiast, but the version here was well-balanced and flavorful, not just kind of sweet and gloppy like a lot of local versions, and the broth for the chicken noodle soup is also truly random-SE Asian-street-cart level flavorful. If that wasn't enough to sell you on this place, the draft Sapporo is five bucks. In conclusion: please come here support these nice folks so they can continue to make above-par food for many years to come. read more

Fusion - Beef Noodle Soup - Asian Fusion Near Me - Albany, New York

My friends and I chose Fusion for a late Monday dinner, it was one of very few places with hours after 9PM on a Monday and we arrived shortly after 8. I will admit at first I was a little nervous, the restaurant only had a total of four menus so we had to share, and we were told the bartender hadn't showed up that day. Nonetheless, I immediately got a good vibe from the guy working there. The menu had a Colombian section, a burger section and an Asian section. We all stuck with Asian dishes. It quickly became clear that the guy taking our order was the only one working. He got to work making the meals for six people. While he was cooking away, another large group of at least seven people arrived and sat themselves. You'd never know there was one guy doing everything all alone because the food was beautifully presented, all dishes were served together and man was it delicious! Everyone was very happy with their meals and we all got a variety of dishes. This is clearly a small business and definitely worth checking out. The one guy there was working so hard, but was so friendly and still attentive, despite manning the place alone. I will definitely be back to try out more read more

Fusion - Drunken Noodles - really good! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Albany, New York

This seemed like it was going to be the hidden gem we'd yet to find based on other reviews. After getting some food delivered from this place, either we must have ordered the least good things on the menu or people just aren't into flavor. Overall, it was edible. It didn't taste bad. It just didn't taste like much. The textures of most things were subpar but not off-putting - just wrong. I can't say I'd ever want to eat their stuff again and I wouldn't be happy about it if someone wanted something from there with me involved but I wouldn't be scared of getting something I couldn't eat. 2.5/5 stars. The orange chicken was orange in color, I guess, but absolutely zero orange flavor...and not much other flavor either. It was also super soggy. There wasn't an abundance of overly wet sauce. The batter was just mush though. The vegetarian Szechuan Ma Po Tofu was absolutely not silken tofu. It was cubes of fried(?) tofu with broccoli and some sort of sauce in less quantity than expected with that dish. It had a hint of flavor but I couldn't tell you exactly what. It was absolutely not what was expected. I really wanted to love the Salchipapa. It was OK, I guess. The chicken and hot dogs were flavorless. The cheese and sauce were basically the entire flavor of the dish. The fries were under salted but that would have been OK had the other stuff tasted like something interesting. The Szechuan beef was tasty enough in that it actually tasted like something but only hinting at spicy in a way that was unusual for Szechuan food. The beef was so over done that I, the well done steak lover, actually enjoyed it. So, win for me. Others, probably not so much. But they did provide a decent amount of beef which I appreciated. The fried rice? Clumpy and similarly lacking in flavor to most other things even though it was super dark in color. The weirdest interpretation of fried rice I've ever had. Not in a good or interesting way. A few pork egg rolls for over $10? Inflation, I get it. They were just standard egg rolls as far as I could tell, like from any other place that sells egg rolls. Absolutely the best thing from there that we ordered. But, that's not saying we got a great deal. That's saying it's wild how expensive, average egg rolls were the winner out of everything. Tell me where I went wrong ordering and how awesome something else is and I might try it again. If that's the case, they need to drop the stuff we ordered and stick to only things that are actually appealing to eat. read more

There are some pros and cons with this fusion restaurant especially if you have looked them up online. I walked in thinking this was an Asian fusion restaurant and ended up at a restaurant with Which had a Asian menu and a Colombian menu. The menus are one pagers but the Colombian menu had no descriptions and made it hard to order. Overall the good was a solid 4, the service was friendly and quick. The place has a character and looks more Colombian than Asian. The restaurant was buzzing, with a good crowd that were singing to the Spanish music while they waited for their order. The place was decorated with balloons in the colors that represent the Colombian flag. Overall a good experience. read more

4.5/5 Stars I found this so yum delicious. unsnobby menu, but the Chicken Lo Mein was absolutely textbook.vegetables were crunchy, sauce not too salty, noodles chewy, lots of chicken perfect sized chunks...only regret is that there were no shiitake mushrooms (preferred in my ideal lo mein, a la Pei Wei circa 2010) for my next review here, I will likely have guest star 'D-Tastemaker' accompanying, and I suspect we will try the Tempura Green Beans app read more

Fusion - chicken Lo Mein - Asian Fusion Near Me - Albany, New York

The work the owner puts in deserves a visit in itself. The food is not the most authentic, chef has been cooking for a long time and puts his twist on almost every dish. Thus the name Fusion. It works. It's tucked between some Albany staples but holds its own on a busy street. The interior is simple yet clean which is always a welcome sight. Try the Mongolian beef or char siu ribs, they're my favorites read more

Wow! Best Chinese food I've had in years. Owner was friendly and accommodating. There was three of us and we were all delighted with our meals. read more

Food was great. Service was great too. Tossed in some free candy which was delicious.

Dishonest interaction. I believe the owner rejected my order on seamless due to a promo being applied. Claimed he didn't get paid and said I had to call seamless. Asked for second payment $5.00 more at time of pickup. I will be disputing the second charge. Dishonest and inconvenienced. Beware read more

My fiancé and I walked in for takeout. The owner was so kind and was immediately knowledgeable about my fiancé's Celiac disease. My orange chicken is delicious: fresh pineapple on top!! Her pad Thai looked gorgeous and tasted great too. I look forward to returning frequently to support a great local restaurant! read more
