Older grandsons coming for lunch wanted to try the new chicken wing place on upper Union Street…read morethat I told them about. We were up for it on this cool, cloudy August day. I picked up the order at 3:30. It is two doors down from Golden House. Parking is next to entrance. The newly opened Korean Style wing place was larger than I anticipated. It was spacious, new and shiny bright clean with a long service counter and a few new tables for eat-in!!! There was also counter top seating adjacent to the large front window. I asked the friendly owner how business was, and she responded "picking up now that people are hearing about us." I told her that I found out about it on Yelp. The order: 20 boneless wings with two sauces of choice (Korean Mustard and Signature) 6 regular wings with one sauce (Tango Delight) Side of Fried Rice ($4.99) Side of Pickled Radishes ($2.99) About a dozen unique sauces are available. They are described on the menu. The sauces were tangy and finger licking good. I was pleased with my three selections. We will return to try other sauces! The wings were packed with extra sauce on the bottoms of the cardboard eco friendly containers. The orders were generous in quantity. Each box had a label with the sauce noted. (See my photos.) The four of us had a delicious lunch! The large boneless wings were crispy on the outside and moist, flavorful, tender on the inside. They were the best I have ever had. The bone on wings were typical wings in size, but the sauce made them superior to many out there. The Fried Rice was not greasy which is good, but I thought it lacked needed flavor. The pickled radishes ($2.99) were a unique complementary side because of the tangy light vinegar flavor and crunch. Grandsons passed. I ate a small portion. I hope this wing place finds a following who appreciate the quality of the food and unique flavor profiles.

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.

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

What I ordered: Soup dumplings Golden Mountain Chicken Sesame chicken Dan Dan Noodles- pork, sesame, peanut sauce Cumin Beef All of the meat was great quality and the sauces were not too heavy or sweet. I would order everything again but my favorites were the soup dumplings and the golden mountain chicken.

Currently starting at $14 for lunch (the time…read moreof my visit), you can stuff your pie hole with acceptable Asian-adjacent food for the price of a lunch special at your favorite Szechuan place. I began at the cold station, sushi and a few seafood items. Was tempted by and succumbed to a giant pile of seaweed salad. Shell-on shrimp were fresh but a bit overcooked, mussels were fat and gleaming but oddly tasteless. There is a big sushi offering but no nigiri, only rolls, and light on the fish in those but good flavors. At the hot station you can get your choice of the usual Chinese American chicken entrees and a little pork. The trays are frequently replenished and everything tasted fresh but with a bland institutional flavor profile. There are also a few non-Asian choices, like mac and cheese and pizza. And there is a dessert section with various sponge cakes and a passable cheesecake. Everything is clean and well maintained and service is good. 3 stars for the food, upgraded to 4 for the value.

HARD PASS!! Read on…read moreand I will tell you why. First of all, the 5 star reviews are likely paid or friends of the owners. Google reviews are flooded with 5 star reviews with no comments!! This was hands down the worst buffet Asian or otherwise we have ever eaten at. 1. Even the "fresh" plate of general chicken that came out tasted old as if it was refried up to seem fresh. It was oily and stale tasting. 2. All of the fried foods were soaked in oil and tasted like they had been sitting for a very long time. 3. The stir fried dishes, veg, rice and noodles, had no flavor. How is that possible when cooking with umami ingredients? 4. The only beef in the hot foods dish had such poor quality beef that it tasted like liver! 5. The beef in the pho was a quarter inch thick and large pieces that were impossible to chew. 6. THE MAN BEHIND THE SUSHI COUNTER WAS EATING PEANUTS OUT OF THE SHELL, THEN USED HIS BARE HAND TO REARRANGE THE SUSHI PIECES!!!! I could not believe my eyes! 7. When I quietly told the owners at the register after I paid, they responded as if they did not understand English! Well that was convenient. 8. The raw oyster had no flavor or salty flavor. Odd. 9. The ice water tasted like perfume. I honestly was certain one of us was going to get food poisoning, but miraculously we did not. Oh and the most shocking part is this garbage costs $20 per person plus tax! The service was good and I left a tip. The ladies were fast to clear the dishes and bring drinks.

I usually get a pot of ban shan tea which is very calming. The space is neat and clean. The ambiance is created by the people more so than the decor.
