Fusion Fire

Wish we had tried the shabu shabu but instead elected for pink lady, hot rock shrimp, udon, and red curry fish. The pink lady was good but the other stuff not so desirable. Menu said the fish was «whole» so I guess I expected a entire fish on my plate that I could pick through. This was more like a fried fish and chips filet like I’d get in England. Very fried at that. Just couldn’t finish it. On top of that the red curry was like no thai curry I’ve had. Smelled like curry but I couldn’t taste the curry. Couldn’t taste the coconut either. It was like a curry mango salsa. I actually wondered if it was made with mayo. Wierd. Shrimp was like really fried tiny shrimp with a semi-​hot mayo. Just ok. Udon dish was better but still seemed like it was missing something. Overall I would say stick to the sushi and hot pot. If you want thai curry go elsewhere like Chalit or Bangkok wok. Décor was nice except I think the bench seat was busted. It was caved in.

Excellent atmosphere, great staff, fresh food, and excellent portion sizes. The Tsunami Roll was excellent and appreciated the waiter taking the time to review its contents. Ordered three rolls but the Tsunami roll more than filled me up. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Will definitely be returning.

The food was ok. The crunchy tuna roll was good. The miso soup was to salty. The hypha and the shrimp shu Mai were good. The chicken yakisoba was also pretty good. That being said for the just pretty good food the prices were a bit high. The shu Mai and the gyoza were 6 dollars each and you get 6 per order. The miso soup was 3 dollars a bowl. The crunchy tuna roll was 12 dollars for 8 pieces. And the chicken yakisoba was 12. So just slightly over priced.

Thought the food was good but the service and wait so detracted from it I could not really enjoy the food. Gave it three trys but will not go back. Better choices in the area.

Mehhh… I wasn’t too impressed… Very nice restaurant, well put together. Got the Tom Yum soup and it tasted tomato based, not at all what I’m use too, did not taste a lick of lemongrass either. It was good but not if your looking for Tom Yum. Got the satay (chicken skewers) they were nicely grilled, but NO flavor, not a fan of dark meat either. Entrée– Yakisoba, great flavor, again more dark meat, I like eggs but almost more egg than noodles… Not sure if I would return…

Came here with some friends to get some Sushi. While we’re all new to the sushi world, I enjoyed my meal. Our waiter, keegan, was extremely helpful when ordering since we had some questions and unsure of what to order. He recommended a roll that was no longer on the menu but was popular and one of his favorites; the Chesapeake roll. It was good, would def get it again. I will def be back to this lovely restaurant.

Overview:
Slightly overpriced Asian restaurant offering the usual entrees, sushi, and also hot pots.
Food:
My boyfriend and I went to the restaurant for my birthday and specifically to try the hot pot. I really liked the fact that you could get two different broths, although I found the fact that you had to pay for the broths a bit off putting. All hot pot places I had been to before did not do this.
We ordered the kimchi broth and at our server’s recommendation, we ordered the chicken broth with the seasonings from the vegetarian broth thrown in. We then ordered the land and sea platter and sweet thai chili dipping sauce. Again, you had to pay for the tiny dish of dipping sauce, which I found to be ridiculous.
Of the two broths, the kimchi was my favorite. While it tasted absolutely nothing like kimchi whatsoever, I did like the salty, seaweed like taste. I thought the chicken broth was only okay. The seasonings added in made it taste like the flavors of Thanksgiving to me, and while there’s nothing wrong with that, it didn’t really go with the Asian theme.
The meats were awesome, but again, it was overpriced for what you got. I’m fine with the amount of meat, but they were pretty skimpy on the vegetables!
Recommend:
I’ve only had the hot pot, but I do recommend the kimchi broth.
Atmosphere:
Recently renovated, so the interior is very nice, modern, and clean.
Service:
Our waiter was very friendly, although not very attentive. We came on a Sunday night and although we were one of the only groups there, I only had my water refilled once. It also took an extremely long time for us to eat, nearly an hour. While I fully realize that a hot pot will take time to heat up, etc. I have never had to wait that amount of time and I have had hot pots many times before.

I absolutely love this place. I have only been there a handful of times, but each and every one of those times I was awed by the beautiful decorations, friendly staff, and delicious food. I also seen the episode of Restaurant Redemption and was actually shocked that people aren’t flocking to this place. Yes, the food is a bit expensive… but you get what you pay for. Although I don’t get a chance to travel to this area leisurely very often, I will continue to come back each and every time I do.

What a pleasant surprise! The crunchy tuna dragon roll should be the first thing you order if you have never eaten here before. The spicy chicken basil fried rice had just the right amount of heat, (def a medium hot), and my daughter loved her chicken and beef hibachi, but I can’t vouch for her as she wasn’t willing to share ;)

Very good food but sometimes the service leaves a lot to desire. Overall I definitely will go back though because I think they have the best sushi in the area.

I don’t know how different central PA sushi is, but compared to the Philadelphia area, it didn’t make the cut. I ordered seaweed salad and a Godzilla roll for takeout but both were extremely small portions and only mediocre quality. The caviar on top was soaked in a sauce so I couldn’t even taste it. Not impressed.

Fusion Fire has a large, pan-​Asian menu, which often results in some sections – i.e. sushi or Thai dishes – lacking in flavor and quality. While nothing I’ve tried here has been amazing, it’s all been decidedly decent. What has impressed me more than anything about Fusion Fire is the service: every server I’ve had has been extremely friendly and helpful, and the manager is clearly on top of everything, especially with regard to allergies. This place is great if you have a big group, and my family likes to come here with a few bottles of wine for birthday get-​togethers because everyone can find something they like. While the food isn’t the best of the best, it’s all pretty tasty, and the service and atmosphere will keep my family coming back.

I love their sushi, however who wants to pay to cook their own food when you go out to eat, might as well cook at home.

Fusion Fire is my go to spot for sushi. My friend and I went for dinner last night and they had one server on the floor. I’m assuming this was due to the snow. One of the owners sat us and about 10 minutes later our waitress greeted us and told us she would be right back to get our drink orders. This poor lady was running around the restaurant while the 2 owners sat at a make shift office next to the sushi bar. They never once helped her run food, clean off a table or offer to get our drink order when seated. I really like this place but seeing what I saw last night has left a sour taste in my mouth. Kim was awesome and I hope she is working the next time I go in. The butterfly roll and crunchy tuna hidden dragon are my faves!

Hibachi has amazing flavor. Not the old standby hibachi with too much sauce. Great staff. Private tables and nice atmosphere!

I saw the episode of Restaurant Redemption featuring Fusion Fire. It takes guts to request help, and even more guts to change. I have great respect for the owners who have a dream and are willing to stop at nothing to achieve it. Since Fusion Fire is a local restaurant and not a chain restaurant, I decided to give it a chance.
The new sign is not big enough, and the brown exterior of the building is off-​putting, and makes the building disappear into its background. The cold exterior is working hard to keep people from entering the front door. As soon as is possible, a facelift would be a wise investment.
It would be a wise investment because if you choose to pass through the front door, you are greeted by a professional and friendly staff who will welcome you into a warm interior. The dining room is clean, well decorated, and calming. While I was disappointed that they did not choose to keep the rice dish suggested in the show, my wife and I LOVED our meals. We had a sushi appetizer (salmon and tuna) that was generous and fresh. I had the spicy basil fried rice with beef, and my wife had the red curry chicken with fried rice. Simply put, our meals were absolutely delicious.
My wife and I WILL be back! Unilocal currently has the restaurant rated at 3 stars, however, I believe its past false starts are presently unfairly weighing down its rating. This restaurant gets a solid 4 stars from a guy who rarely gives out 5 stars. You owe it to yourself to give this restaurant a fair try. You will be pleasantly surprised.

The boyfriend and I decided to eat here this past Saturday night after hitting two other restaurants that ended up having crazy long wait times. And even though I was on Unilocal,checking reviews that did not look so great, we decided to check it out anyway.
We were NOT impressed.
I mean, as soon as we walked in the door, we were greeted with a dry-​erase board standing up on the floor at the hostess stand stating that they were going to be on TV on a show called «Restaurant Redemption» and no offense, but that is not a turn-​on to me. That to me screams that there was an issue to begin with and no matter what chef comes in and attempts to make changes, that original problem usually still sticks around. Anyone can through up some wallpaper and change out some décor… that doesn’t mean the service and food will be any better… I am just saying. And speaking of the service, our waitress was not the most pleasant and when we asked about the «hot pot» option, she talked down to us in a quite condescending manner.
Anyways, we started with an order of shrimp shumai and gyoza, which were fine. No different than any other sushi bar or Japanese restaurant. Nothing special.
We then ordered a cup of hot and sour soup and an avocado salad. The soup was extremely goopy, which I know can be the case when it comes to this particular soup, and I can usually push through it even if it is too much… however, this particular cup of hot and sour soup was extremely BLAND. There was no hot, no spicy, no sour, NO flavor. The avocado salad was interestingly plated in a «deconstructed» manner… which was okay, but the avocado was not fully ripe and that was a big turn off.
Next came the multitude of sushi rolls that we ordered as our actual dinner. My boyfriend ordered the «Crunchy Tuna Hidden Dragon,» which had shrimp tempura inside the roll and spicy tuna on top; and the «Love at First Site,» which was a «heart» shaped sushi roll of lobster tempura, avocado, asparagus, cream cheese, and caviar wrapped in a pink soy paper. The «Crunchy Tuna Hidden Dragon» was nothing spectacular, his words and mine since I got to sneak a bite. However, he was apparently in love with the «Love at First Site» roll. I opted not to try this one because I am not a fan of cream cheese.
I ordered the «Sakura» roll, which was honestly the SAME thing as the «Crunchy Tuna Hidden Dragon» roll — shrimp tempura inside and topped with spicy tuna and four different colors of caviar; and the «Godzilla» roll, which had spicy tuna on the inside and topped with eel, and supposedly caviar as well, but that was not on my roll at all. Neither one did anything for me. They were nothing amazing.
We had also ordered a spicy California roll and a spicy tuna roll, which were the same as what you would get at any other sushi bar. And a side order of fried rice which just tasted awful, and even though we ordered it at the beginning with the rest of our food, we didn’t get it until after we were done with all our sushi… and I had to remind that oh-​so-​lovely waitress of ours that she forgot it, which you could tell quite annoyed her.
I also prefer to dip my sushi into ponzu sauce, which is never a problem at any other sushi bar, but this waitress seemed to find it odd that I asked for it. It also showed up on my bill, $ 0.50 a tiny little serving (the small dish they use for soy sauce, about half full).
So, all in all, this place is not worth a second trip…

Too expensive for the hot pot. Service is also not good.

I went in for sushi only, so I can only rate that. Beautiful inside, the waitstaff was friendly, until it became close to closing time and then they became just nasty.
The sushi was on par with wegmans. It tasted like grocery store sushi. Nothing stood out as delicious, just merely edible.
The prices weren’t bad, but I can think of several other sushi places that are heads above this for the same price or a little more. I’d give it 2 ½ stars if I could, but I’ll stick with 3,

Omg. How can people complain about this place? It is so beautiful inside and very classy. I ordered the Tom Kha Soup with Shrimp and it had a nice subtle spiciness to it. I ordered the spicy rock shrimp which were perfectly made.
I love sushi and asked my waitress what the favorite was here. She suggested the Crunchy Tuna Hidden Dragon Roll and i already seen posts on the Ruby roll as being a favorite so I got both and they both were very tasty! Will definitely suggest both. My father doesn’t eat sushi, ever but he tried the rolls and liked them both!
Come try it for yourself!
