This one also has an assortment of ramen, noodle bowls and bubble teas. "Hawaii" is a chain with a remarkably large menu. I came in for poke but wound up with a rice noodle bowl, instead. Orders are placed at the counter just like a fast food joint but this isn't really fast food. Most of the food is actually made to order. The staff is really patient. They'll help you navigate the massive menu with many options. If you're dining in they'll bring your orders to your table. I picked thin rice noodles with spicy miso broth and pork belly. I also asked for most of the free toppings and the free hard boiled egg. The pork belly turned out to be a fatty cut. That was on me. Next time, I'll order BBQ pork l,instead. As for that "spicy" broth, they mean it. Next time, I'll also ask for a little less heat in my broth. Still, was a delicious meal which was prepared just for me. I added a large Lycee slushie to my order. It was pretty good but too large. I have to go medium next time. I couldn't finish the meal. I took it home and ate it again for breakfast the next day (I have a cast iron stomach and can eat spicy breakfasts). If this business is part of a chain where are the other restaurants? The manager said most are on Long Island. The Castleton restaurant is the only one in the Capital Region and the restaurant is largely a family-run operation. It's clean, bright, very modern and cute. There's cute wall art. Some illuminated. Others are wallpaper depicting food, pandas and the Chinese god of wealth. This is one of those places with a menu so large that you can keep coming back and not have the same meal twice.

This was a good place for sushi and wine…read more I ordered the sushi and sashimi plate and it was not really tasty, but it was also quite good looking. I.e., the presentation was great. The wine is a bit pricey, but they have some decent red wines on the menu. So I appreciated that. There was one gentleman as the server for the whole dining room, so that led to some understandable delays. Otherwise, this place was quite good.

Went for late lunch (2:30 pm)…read more No one at reception desk (I understand it was a slow time and employees lunchtime). Waited there perhaps four minutes to be recognized. Another wait - then waiter asking for order. (Would have liked a water while I waited.). Received warm water, salad and soup at same time. Could not get a waiter to get me cold water or ice. Received food - waiter walks away while he places food ifo me. Hello, please ....... he's gone. Finally flagged down someone walking around. Got ice. Took more time to get bill (I was not in a hurry), but, please can someone check if everything is alright, if I want something else, or the bill. Waved down someone walking around. Got bill. Waited over five minutes for someone to come and take it-nope. Took bill to front desk and paid for very good food and very bad service. New person a front desk, took bill, and was very friendly (finally). Went I arrived there were only two customers. When I left four more had come in. I have worked in restaurants. I understand employees lunch breaks-but, to have staff in room where there is no one and not paying attention to customers. Ahhhhh - (a person came in and finally alerted someone in kitchen for takeout) not good. The place is beautiful. The food is great. The service needs a lot more work. (A smile does help.). (BRW I had hibachi Filet which was delicious and the price was great.) It doesn't cost much to be attentive to customers

Popping onto Yelp just to try to bring people's attention to this criminally under-appreciated…read morelittle 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.

My friends and I chose Fusion for a late Monday dinner, it was one of very few places with hours…read moreafter 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

On this visit, I had the Shrimp Tom Yum Noodles special while my friend ordered Chicken Tom Yum Fried Rice from the regular menu. This would be an indication that we like spicy food but knowing that Natalie makes her own spices we asked for the entrees to be "mildly" spicy. After tasting the entrees my friend declared the meals to be "crazy good," but he was glad that we ordered them mildly spicy since the spices were making his face sweat a little. He was very happy with the meal. Never one to shy away from a lycee drink, I ordered a Lycee Saketini, which I loved. It included about a 1/2 ounce of sake. We also ordered an Everett Porter Beer which tasted and looked a lot like coffee- chocolate stout. It was delicious. Our server, Ben, helped us with our drink orders. He's very knowledgeable. The restaurant is cozy, welcoming and can seat perhaps 30 people but it's important to call ahead to make sure there's enough seating. I almost forgot to mention desserts which are to die for. The mango cheese cake was amazing.

They're a great deal, especially the sushi and sashimi combo. The bento box lunch special is a good amount of food, but if you get the shrimp tempura, you only get a couple pieces and the rest is tempura veggies. The calamari has the tentacles and has a sauce drizzled over it rather than on the side. The California roll it comes with is good. The gyoza didn't have much flavor. Rice was cooked properly. Overall decent place for lunch.

My review follows the majority with a four star rating…read more The food, service and modern ambiance, were all very good. The wife and I only had the BBQ option. I loved the beef ribs and the marinated meats were all great. The reason for not giving it the last, final, fifth star, was because of the price. Fully realizing food prices are skyrocketing right now, the price and the pricing structure(s) are still my reason for not giving that last star. I would advise simplifying the prices into flat lunch and dinner rates. Wide selection of very good options and a go to for really good KBBQ with the my favorite the beef ribs. I would definitely recommend this place.

I really like the tofu steak, the shredded tofu over rice noodles (with many vegetables), the crispy roasted chicken, the shaking beef, and the crispy vegetarian rolls. I like their pho as well, but the tofu steak is so delicious, I hardly ever deviate. I appreciate their tea options which are served in a pot. 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. When you look around, people are just enjoying their food and each other. Those, like me, sitting solo, are eating our meals like it is satisfying more than physical hunger. I am truly grateful Saigon Spring and those who make it so special are here.
