However many characters this review allows me to write isn't enough to heap compliments upon this place. I've lived in Pasadena for about 4 years, and my last review was written a little over 3 years ago, and I've gone several times ever since. They're one of the best (if not the best) Chinese fast food places in the area. The portions can only be described by calling them massive, the food is delicious and always on point. Don't sleep on the BBQ Pork! It's incredibly underrated. Service is always fantastic, and the ambiance is great, the store is well-lit and kept clean at all times. read more

A great spot when you're looking for something quick and convenient. The menu has plenty of options, and the prices are reasonable. I wasn't a fan of the noodle or rice but the main entrees were solid -- flavorful and served in generous portions. Service was friendly and efficient, which made the experience even better. read more

Coming from Orange County, I've been on the hunt for a good replacement for Sam Woo--my old go-to for fast, authentic Chinese takeout. I decided to give Fusion Bowl a shot. My verdict? It was decent, but certainly not a home run. The portions were massive (a big plus!) and generally met the minimum mark for a satisfactory meal. I tried the Beef with Broccoli and the Teriyaki Chicken. Honestly, I have a hunch that the meats weren't the freshest, which worries me about getting indigestion later. While I didn't mind the meal in a pinch, I can confidently say this won't become a staple in my rotation. The search for a true Sam Woo successor continues! read more

Average Chinese fast food. They have an additional menu that includes burgers, seafood and Thai. Very friendly staff. The location was clean, although very dated. Food was fine. I ordered BBQ Pork, Orange Chicken, and Fried Rice. Rice was very bland. Orange chicken was average in taste. I like the BBQ pork here! It's well seasoned, good portion and not overly sweet. read more

This place is trash I got a combo and had to pay 2 extra dollars to upgrade my drink to a coffee but I did not expect to pay extra and get a small drink read more

I really wanted to like this spot, but the food missed the mark. Most dishes were bland and forgettable, and the shrimp was unpleasant in both texture and flavor. Service was ok, but its convenient if you're in a rush and want grab a quick bite to eat. read more

I love this place. Great tasting food and abundant portions. My combo C couldn't even close in its container. They have an overwhelming amount of options for you to choose from in addition to some menu items you can order from the kitchen rather than the line. They also have two coolers full of drinks and a menu for slushees and teas with boba. The options here are seemingly endless. This is my go to Chinese take out spot in Pasadena. Service was extremely quick and servings were huge. The cashier was very friendly, quickly packaged everything and included all extra sauces, utensils, and napkins. Ambiance is fast casual, in and out type of experience. read more

I followed the 3.5 rule for Yelp and it did not disappoint. Service was good, food was fantastic (everything you expect from Chinese food to-go) and there was a good amount of seating available. I'll be back whenever I'm craving some Chinese food and I am in the area. read more

Fusion Bowl - Combo B w/ BBQ pork + mushroom chicken. $9.46 after taxes (2022) everything tastes great - Chinese Near Me - Pasadena, California

Never get a large catering order from here. Family got food poisoning from eating here over the weekend. Don't eat here unless if you want to spend a few days on the hospital. read more

VERY impressed with how good the food was and how large the portions were ! Happy customer 10/10 recommend ; reminds me of my childhood fav Chinese spot that's now gone read more

I don't like saying this but.... Just keep driving. There are a number of food places around there. While I have not tried many of them I would venture in there before coming back here. Broccoli beef was slimy, peppered chicken was out of a frozen bag or something. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't pre-made stuff that was reheated. I don't mind cheap, fast Chinese food but I didn't even finish most of this and that's saying something. Unfortunate because I really was looking forward to trying it as I've driven by here many times. read more

Just a solid, good, fast food Chinese spot. Places like these are always underrated and more fancy Chinese restaurants are always overrated. Their chow mein is spot on. Their teriyaki chicken is flavorful. I can't take a picture because I just scarfed everything down. I've been looking for a good fast food Chinese place in Pasadena/surrounding area and now I've found it! read more

Food is good and the prices are very affordable, they are fast and good service have variety of delicious food

Co worker recommended this place a couple of times and mentioned how kind the ladies are inside. I finally ordered from them and they were busy and I felt bad because this lady in scrubs (dentist,caregiver, nurse, whatever I don't want to generalize this) was giving the lady a hard time. Clearly they were not understanding and the customer had a thick thick accent so that did not help the situation but i minded my own business but I just hope the workers see this and know I really appreciated them and the soup was so good. Thank you for putting my soups in a box that was so kind. I recommend. read more

Positive side, the food is a lot. You do get a big portion. However, it was not out of this world, it was more mediocre. Negative side: Not very clean. Especially the bathroom. read more

Extra charge for transactions less than $10. Ok now that we have that out of the way and you made sure to bring cash, let's talk about the food. From the outside, this looks like the typical hole-in- the wall joint. I know that a meal would be less than $7 bucks around here, so I wasn't expecting Ruth's Chris. The food was mediocre/decent. In all fairness I had a bowl and tried the chow mien and the beef with broccoli. It didn't amaze me, but the price was alright. You might not like to hear this, but in all honesty I would spend a buck more and go to Panda Express. If you know me, you'd know that I do prefer locally owned spots rather than chains. In this case I would choose a chain restaurant. I might come in and try the drinks as many reviews on here have suggested it. ¡Salud! read more

Fusion Bowl - $4.65 for a bowl! :) - Chinese Near Me - Pasadena, California

BIG PORTIONS, GREAT PRICES! Tried this place for the first time tonight and I loved it. The egg rolls were delicious. I had the two item combo with orange chicken and mushroom chicken. Both were delicious and tasted very fresh. The chow menu and fried rice were good too. This just goes to show you that you can't always trust the amount of stars a restaurant has on yelp, because if I trusted the 3 1/2 stars that this place has I wouldn't have tried it. I'm so glad I ignored the stars and tried it cause it was great! :-) Note: they charge to use your debit card if your order is not over $10, so bring cash. read more

I LOVE IT HERE! Their Thai tea is so good and their portions are amazing. I would go here every single time over Panda Express any day

i've been going to this place basically my entire life considering it's my local chinese food place. But this is one dish that is definitely my go to. chicken fried rice. though just by me saying it's my go to doesn't make it the best in the west. the chicken doesn't have any flavor so it's better to eat this with some sauce of some kind but it's definitely my go to because the portions they give you are definitely worth the buck and the rice is the best in my opinion. my most favorite rice from my local chinese food places. read more

BIG PORTIONS! It's worth the money because of the bang for your buck. That moment at Panda where you wish the lady would put more orange chicken does not happen at Fusion Bowl. They really pack it on the plate. Btw, I got the orange chicken and it was a bit too tangy. The beef & broccoli was okay, but the chow mein hit the spot. It's all worth it though. One plate is GREAT for couples if one has the habit of nibbling at food. On a scale of 1-Panda Express, this is a solid 8. Another btw: I don't think Panda Express is the benchmark for Chinese food. It's just the most widely recognized taste. ;) read more

Fusion Bowl - No portion control here. - Chinese Near Me - Pasadena, California

The two ladies didn't wash their hands after they touched their cashier box, and customer' credit card and money. One customer advised them to wash their hands before touching TOGO box and wrapping food for customers, they got very upset and kept complaining and still wouldn't like to wash their hands. Those ladies should be fired from this restaurant, too low class and not educated. Restaurant servers should wash hands with soap before touching food box and wrapping food for each customer. Sanitizer has chemical and can't be sued to wash hands before touching food box. read more

Super friendly service, good cheap prices, fresh yummy food. Love this place! They are also clean and covid safe. Huge portions too! Haha eating here for the 2nd time this week! read more

Great WonTon Soup! FAV! It's good to eat "just because" and it's great to eat when you're fighting a cold. Always kind, friendly and gracious to their customers. read more

Tried this today for the first time and was blown away by how delicious everything was. My family ended up finishing all our food. I think we've found our new Chinese takeout joint! read more

Avoid this place by all means. If you are looking to pay outrageous prices for combo plates that claim to have meat in them this is not the place to go. I ordered kung Pao chicken and was given Kung Pao vegetables. My husband ordered potatoes chicken and was given potatoes and onions. When I addressed the issue the person said that is how the plate comes and I suggested they call the dish potatoes and onions and not potato chicken. The total for the plates with the minimalist amount of rice and noodles with vegetables totaled $20. Considering how the economy is I am not about to have someone spend their little money that they might have on a crappy meal and rude customer service. I was very clear about how they were ripping people off and she started yelling back. I was very clear and let the patrons waiting in line if they were looking for good food not to bother getting any of it there and go somewhere else with good food and good customer service . read more

This is a small Chinese fast food spot, nothing fancy. Prices are good ($) and customer service is nice as well. The location is in a shopping center and there is almost always plenty of parking. I have been here a few times and feel it is comparable to other spots in the area. The location does have tables if you'd like to sit and eat, I almost always order to go. I order pretty basic here orange chicken, and chow mein bowl usually. I ordered the super pack on NYE for $25 which includes: two fried rice boxes, two chow mein boxes, three boxes of your choice, soup, egg rolls and cookies. Pretty good deal in my opinion but I noticed if you were to order a couple two option combos the amount of food is comparable and cheaper. The chow mein, orange chicken, and beef and broccoli was good. The fried rice was just okay, and the kung pao chicken was not good in my opinion. My boyfriend said he usually sticks to the basics here and feels the price is right for quality. We ordered dumplings as well which I would not order again in the future. The lady was nice and gave us a free soup as well because it was evening and they'd be closing soon. My son and self both enjoyed the egg drop and sweet and sour soups. This would not be the first Chinese fast food spot I'd choose but it is an option. Great customer service, prices, and a few good dishes are what make me come back. read more

Absurdly large portions for an absurdly good price. The type of cheap chinese that you crave on a bad day... I know y'all get me.

I've been coming there for years and my family and I always love the selection but due to Covid-19 there's now just a limited amount of food you can get there. I'm hoping that once the cv has passed they will start selling everything that they use to sell. Plz bring back all the great selections read more

Love this place. Came here the other weekend for hangover food, so I had to come back again this weekend. I like the food here better than panda. And the portions are very generous. I haven't tried a dish I didn't like, they do not disappoint. read more

Yummy. I usually just get their teriyaki chicken, egg rolls and noodles. They have combination plates at really great price points! Everyone is fast and friendly. read more

They have a decent selection of food, and it's seemingly fresh. But I'm irritated that they charged me for whip cream on my smoothie. NO place does that....and you can't understand the gal working. I couldn't understand IF she was trying to tell me it was an extra charge. Her accent was super heavy, and combining that with her wearing the mask literally made it like I was trying to understand another language. So when she charges me extra for something I didn't realize there was a charge for, naturally I'm going to be upset. I shouldn't have to say "what" or "excuse me" 30 times to figure out what's going on. To top it off, it was complete garbage. Tasted horrible and was watery. I tossed it out. Waste of money. They also have a plastic shield up which is good, but it's not flat. They obviously repurposed some other piece, but it's difficult to see there menu. As a first, and absolutely last(!), experience....I will never be going back. Fast food chinese places are a dime a dozen, especially in Pasadena. read more
