This is the restaurant of choice for my wife's family gatherings, and she has a pretty big family, so 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. read more

Fusion Delight priced their dishes really high, and the service is below standard. Food took forever to come out, the tea was not hot, and they never came to ask if we needed anything. No water. No English. Brought out a beer and didn't know that it needed a cold glass. It was a huge place, packed on a Thursday night, with less than a handful of wait staff. One of the dishes we ordered was the marinated cucumber dish, which didn't have any chili oil in the picture but arrived drenched in it. read more

My fave dim sum place!! Best to get there before or at opening to not wait for a table. We strolled in at 10AM on Memorial Day weekend and were seated immediately for our table of 15. Some tables get iPads to order, others paper menus to mark off and submit--not sure if there's a method to which table gets what. iPad ordering makes things really easy, especially if you decide to order more food. Food rolls out SUPER quickly if you get here around opening. I love this place for their flavorful, consistently delicious food. Must-get dishes include the baked custard buns, shrimp rice rolls, siu mai, and salted egg fried pumpkin. read more

I originally came to Fusion Delight because of the purple interior. Seriously. The giant lotus chandeliers, the deep violet lighting, the old-school banquet hall atmosphere - it immediately reminded me of the large Cantonese restaurants that used to define family dining in the Bay Area years ago. But after eating here during a packed weekend dinner service, I realized the real attraction is not the decor. It is the operational consistency. The dining room was completely full, with a long line of people still waiting outside. Under that kind of pressure, many large Chinese restaurants start losing control somewhere: fried dishes soften, stir-fries lose wok hei, food arrives unevenly, service becomes rushed. Fusion Delight somehow keeps the system together. And what impressed me even more was that the staff never became impatient. Even with the restaurant running at full capacity, the servers stayed friendly, patient, and organized. No chaos, no attitude - just steady service under pressure. That is not easy in a restaurant this size. The Mongolian beef was the first thing that stood out. Instead of thin slices hidden under sauce, the beef here is cut unusually thick and long - some pieces nearly two inches. Thick-cut beef is risky because once overcooked it immediately turns tough, but here the meat stayed tender while still carrying proper wok sear and caramelization. That tells me the kitchen understands heat control and timing. The crispy pork intestines were even more impressive. These were clearly braised first, then fried before the final stir-fry. The outside kept its gelatin-rich texture while the inside still carried fat and aroma, but without the unpleasant odor that ruins this dish at weaker restaurants. Even people who normally avoid intestine dishes could probably eat this version comfortably. That level of cleaning and pre-processing matters. The braised lamb with skin was another old-school banquet dish done correctly. The lamb was soft without collapsing, while the skin still retained structure. More importantly, the prep work was meticulous -- no gamey smell, no rough trimming, no shortcuts. The sea cucumber and pork tendon dish also showed strong banquet-kitchen fundamentals. The pork tendon had clearly been oil-expanded beforehand, giving it that proper soft and elastic texture instead of rubbery chewiness. The sea cucumber still retained bite and structure. The Singapore-style rice noodles and scallop egg white fried rice were textbook Cantonese banquet staples. The rice noodles stayed dry and separated while still carrying wok aroma and oil fragrance. The scallop egg white fried rice looked simple, but every grain remained distinct and lightly coated without clumping together. That level of consistency under volume is difficult. Even the red bean dessert soup at the end was handled carefully. The red beans still held their shape instead of dissolving into paste, while the sago remained fully intact and translucent. Most restaurants stop caring once dessert leaves the kitchen. Fusion Delight clearly does not. And honestly, that may be the best way to describe this restaurant overall. Fusion Delight is not trying to be trendy. It is not trying to become minimalist fine dining. It is not trying to be social-media bait. This is a high-volume Chinese banquet restaurant operating with old-school Cantonese production discipline. Hot food arrives hot. Fried dishes stay crisp. Wok hei survives peak hours. Plating still looks intentional during a packed dinner service. That kind of consistency is harder than people think. And somehow, inside a giant purple dining room filled wall-to-wall with families, they make it work. - Dr. C Purple room approved. Wok heat calibrated. Banquet discipline detected. Consistency at scale = correct. read more

A friend invited us to Dim Sum at Fusion Delight. They open at 11am and we arrived at 10:40, way too early. We sat in the van and chatted for a bit until 5 minutes before scheduled opening. They were already open for guests, so we were able to enter as soon as we walked across the parking lot. As we entered, we were greeted and asked how many in our group and what type of tea would we like. There were 3 of us and we were guided to a table in the middle of the restaurant. There was an electronic ordering pad on the table, so we passed it around and selected some of our favorite dishes. We later saw other tables using paper ordering sheets which I think I would have preferred. What'd we order? Plenty! Pea Sprouts with Fungus - 3 - Not one of my favorites but it appeared to be okay. Rice Noodle Rolls in XO Sauce x 2 - 5 - Yes, we got two orders! Tons of flavor; tender noodles; great chew. Salt & Pepper Tofu - 3 - Good tofu; not so much salt nor pepper. Pan Fried Country Style Lotus Root with Minced Fish - 3 - first time that I've had Lotus Root "sandwiches" Rice Noodle Roll (Beef) - 4 - If the sweet soy had been sweeter, it could have been a 5. Chicken Feet with Black Bean Sauce - 3 - met but did not exceed the standard and I am a Chicken Feet FREAK! Pork Dumpling with Peanuts - 4 - Was Decent Dried Scallop & Pea Sprout Dumplings - 3 - There's Dried Scallop in here? Pan Fried Green Peppers - 5 - These non-spicy peppers were stuffed with shrimp paste and then doused in black bean sauce. Yumm! Siu Mai w/ Shrimp - 5 - Nice and meaty. Sugar Donuts - 4 - On point! There were a couple of items that we ate before I remembered to take pictures of them. Ooops! Would I go again? Yes. read more

We came on a weekend for dimsum and skate for over an hour. The inside is bright and grand, seating is comfortable. Service was on the slower side as they do get quite busy. Dim sum was not bad but also not exceptional. Standard for a dim sum place but doesn't stand out taking into account of the price. read more

My coworkers wanted to have a dim sum gathering over the weekend, so we went to this place. Since everyone has different dietary restrictions, dim sum was a great way to accommodate everyone. We ordered over 15 dishes, and all of them were delicious. Everyone really enjoyed them. read more

Can't believe I haven't left a review for FD since I come here pretty regularly! Even on weekdays the parking is tough cos it's so busy. But luckily the mall lot is big so you might just have to walk a bit. The wait is the most challenging thing here. Weekends are near impossible. Even week day lunches are tough. And you gotta book them way out for Chinese new year! Food is always very good and service is very efficient. The sea bass is a must here, I also like all their noodle dishes. And for dim sum, they are really one of the best in SL and surrounding areas. Can't go wrong. Inside always looks nice and clean. Great vibe for big family dinners. read more

Such a yummy time! The staff is quite attentive. Our empty dishes were taken away almost instantly and your hot water pot was never empty for long. Our party of 5 was able to snag a tallness at opening and place our order in early. Everything came out hot and delicious. My favorites being the shrimp dumplings. The filling is quite large and the dumpling skin is quite sturdy. You're able to grab one without it falling out or ripping. The wrapped is also isn't over rubbery, it was a happy surprise to find a yummy texture! Another hit was the cha sui gok, flaky pastry dough with a savory bbq pork filling. Normally my favorite at yum cha is the bbq pork buns with a pineapple crust top but this was perfection as well! Would recommend the steamed dumplings as well as the chicken feet! Meaty and piping hot :) read more

My family and I hadn't had this place since 2017. Since then, they have undergone a huge remodel and the place is far brighter and their menus are upgraded. Meanwhile, it was my partner and his family's first time trying this restaurant. Service was quite rough for a Monday dinner. The restaurant was 1/3rd filled but they took a while to check in with us and take our orders. It was tough to get the attention of a server and after someone helped us, he called for someone else. When the second person came, I told her I was ready to order and then there was another wait for the third person who would finally take our order. I had already written out the 6 dishes we were planning to order for the group and they seemed to be missing several veggies, so all the meat dishes seemed to only be cooked with string beans as that was all they had. That eliminated 3 of the dishes I wanted to order. Pea sprouts 5/5, perfectly stir fried. So simple, yet so delicious steamed chicken with black fungus 4/5 - Delicious but it did not come with black fungus... they didn't tell us that and so the dish arrived with just meat... confused as to why we weren't informed and it was still the same price when it's missing a vital part of the dish! stir fried green beans with black cod 5/5 - very well made! the fish was so deep fried beef chow fun 5/5 - well made and standard chef fried rice - also well made and standard Outside of them missing several vegetables and ingredients in their dishes and the slow service; the food and way it's cooked has certainly skyrocketed in quality! read more

The food is fine, but the wait time is crazy and not worth it. For so far north of the east bay, I'm sure the food is nice, but why was our wait 2 hours! We had a larger party of 9, but we waited from 12:30 until 2:30. It was a Saturday during winter break, so maybe during other months they would have a shorter wait? We had to get some chicken from Safeway to deal. Porridge and dessert egg buns were good, but overall other food was not special enough. read more

Fusion Delight - Chinese Near Me - San Leandro, California

Heard great things about this dim sum spot, a gem in San Leandro! Lots of people dine here even on a weekday lunch. The space is beautiful inside - probably the nicest Chinese restaurant I've seen in the bay. Lots of seating inside too but I heard there's always a wait on weekends. If you don't want to wait, come here during a weekday lunch. For us 3 girls we got a seat at the table immediately near the front, a little before noon time on a random weekday. You place your order on a piece of paper with pencil. Imo the dim sum dishes were above average. I heard great things about their fried rice so I placed an order. Overall it was okay, the rice we had needed a bit more seasoning/flavor. Will come back to try more of their seafood items that I heard great things about! Service is standard for a dim sum spot, don't expect too much! read more

Visited here with my friends on a Wednesday morning. The restaurant opens at 10:30 AM, and we arrived a bit early--there were already a few customers waiting outside. However, within about an hour, the restaurant was almost full. Even though it wasn't the weekend, it was still very busy. This is one of my favorite dim sum spots because the food is consistently delicious, especially the siu mai--it's a must-try! The service is fast and friendly, which makes the experience even better. There is also plenty of parking, which is a big plus. The restaurant is spacious, with beautiful purple lighting that really catches the eye. The high ceiling also makes the space feel very open and comfortable. Although this place doesn't have the highest ratings on Yelp, it's definitely still very popular and worth visiting. read more

Fusion Delight - Chinese Near Me - San Leandro, California

Came back another year and it's still the same quality, yet always a long wait during lunchtime especially on weekdays. It's so busy you have to get a number and wait until your number is called. The hosts are communicative with servers on which tea to serve for each table once we're seated. We ordered Siu Mai, Beef Balls, Pork and Peanuts Dumpling, Pumpkin Sponge Cake, Fried Shrimp Dumplings (Spicy), and Pan-fried rice noodle w/ beef and bitter melon. The sponge cake had less pumpkin filling, so it was meh. The rice noodle was the most delicious one, yet oily. Fried shrimp dumplings took longer to arrive, yet were moderately spicy due to the spices. I started sweating after one bite while my mom ate like nothing happened lol. When I went home with the leftovers, my habit of checking the filling inside the fried dumpling was a blessing because I found a silver metal strand (approximately 1 cm long) inside the shrimp. Too bad I didn't take a picture. It would've been dangerous for elderly people and children to consume. So please check your food before eating. There are a lot of smokers outside that you can smell through the entrance every time the door is opened. They should be called the Chainsmokers Area. Also, expect to hear loud conversations in Cantonese, so not good for first dates, but good for weddings and family gatherings. Best to come after 1 pm to beat the crowds to try their fusion dim sum. read more

Ordered some items to go to eat at home. The restaurant was packed! Make sure you order everything at once.

The chow fun was a hit this time with my friends. The fried dough with meat in it is one of my favorites. It was yummy this time around as well. read more

Everything was absolutely delicious, no complaints at all.

Ok, so I know...don't judge a book by its cover. But damn. Pulling into this depressing looking strip mall, with empty boarded up store fronts and a lovely Food Maax right next door. It doesn't exactly exude fine dining experience. But I'm here. Let's do it. The frontage is mid. Walk in and it's a bustling mini chinatown, full of Chinese peeps - which is a great thing for a dim sum restaurant. That means it must be good. We get sat down in this huge expanse of a dining hall. Order up through an ipad. How bay area. Of course we get all the classics. One by one, I take some bites and man. They're just amazing morsels of dim sum good ness. The classic bbq pork bun is my baseline. And it was fresh and filled with pork. The bread itself was nice, although it might have been oversteamed because some of it had become like a pull apart bread. The shu mai was huge and plump. And tasted equally excellent. I had many others and they were all lovely. The sweet egg buns were amazing, some of the best i've had. The miss was this deep fried flying pancake. It tasted so weird and left a bad oily taste in my mouth. It seemed really popular, but not for me. I'll be back. read more

After running into the Pearl Bay renovation closure, we drove over to Fusion Delight and made it just before they opened. There was a small line but were quickly seated.

我本来打算给10%的小费，因为上菜太慢了......而且服务也没好到那种程度。后来，他们的经理过来跟我们说小费太少了，我们要求增加到40美元，他说通常大家都会给这么多，最少也要18%。难道小费不应该是顾客感觉好的吗？为什么感觉像是必须给的？最后我们还是给了30美元，就像上面提到的那样。再说一遍，小费应该由我们自己决定。 I was going to give 10% tips, because the dishes came too slow... and the service isn't as good as that much. later on, their manager came to us and said the tips are too less, asked to increase to $40, he said usually people leave that much, the least 18%. Isn't the tip always based on how the customer feels??? Why did it look like required? We finally leave a $30 as the recipient above. Again, TIPS ARE BASED ON US. read more

I think this place went downhill in terms of dim sum after coming here years ago, but I couldn't eat too many items this time around as we didn't have that many people. It's pretty mediocre but a lot of people get the piggy cha siu baos, I just got the regular one though. Not sure if I would come back especially since it's also served at a high price point now too. Maybe averages about 8 dollars for one. read more

We waited over 30 minutes for a dish that never arrived. We asked multiple times to cancel it and clearly told the staff we no longer wanted it. Despite that, the restaurant ignored our request, brought the dish after we had already finished eating, and then insisted that we pay for it. To make matters worse, the manager was rude and told us not to come back if we refused to pay for an item we had repeatedly asked to cancel. The lack of communication, poor customer service, and unprofessional attitude made this one of the worst dining experiences we've had. We will not be returning. read more

I was lucky enough to be brought here to test out Fusion Delight's dim sum.. Here, you will find the typical & very traditional dim sum without the rolling carts and ladies shouting out "Har Gow!!" "Siu Mai!!!" Orders were made via paper menu and the dishes steadily came rolling in. I would classify the whole ambiance and feel of Fusion Delight as upscale, fancy. With that said, I will agree with the many reviews regarding the super loud environment that would easily get to sensitive patrons. Forks clanking against plates, multiple conversations going on- all consisting of yelling, & combining that with shouting out requests to the staff. Whew, you almost feel like you leave here a little deaf. Lmao! Food is amazing and the presentation is nice. My favorite things to order [simply for the beautiful photos] are the piggy steamed baos, the swan fried durian puffs, & the duck/bunny puddings. 4 stars! This place is so instagram worthy, the dim sum is delicious, but you will be paying a pretty penny for your meal. read more

Beware of Tip scam! Check your receipt carefully. They often charge to tips already and still print the receipt with empty slot for more tips.

The food is good but beware of the bill. read more

My family of 6 came here last Sunday morning. The first weekend of CNY. Wow was it packed! We arrived at 9:50am. Opening is at 10am and there was a HUGE line out the door. As I was walking up, a gentleman was running to get in line. A female from the left saw him running so she started running too. I was afraid we were not going to get seated during the first round, but we did! The restaurant is very big! They have a second room to the right with not as nice decor as the main room, but that is okay. The entire restaurant was became fully packed with hungry asians and there were still people outside waiting. For how busy it was, service was great!! We marked what we wanted and gave the order slip to a waiter. We got tea quickly. I saw them refilling our tea several times. We NEVER had to ask. We were SHOCKED with how quickly the food came out. The chefs must have came super early and they were well prepared with the mad rush of people. The food was nice and hot and fresh. Did not miss out on the quality on majority of the items. I really enjoyed the black peppers spare ribs (not a usual item at dimsum places). Of course I liked my rice noodles with beef and shrimp, shrimp dumplings, pork dumplings, chicken feet. We ordered two different cow intestines and they had a really nice presentation with the Ying and Yang dishes. My brother said the taste of one of them was only okay though. Pricing of the dishes were a bit more expensive than usual dimsum places. This was my first time eating here, but I would definitely come back. I am still impressed with their service on such a busy day. They were all so friendly too and did not show their stress. When we left at 11:40am, the lobby was packed and a lot of people outside as well waiting for a table. read more
