This place is amazing! Me & my partner were craving pho and fried rice. So we came across this small place that offers Vegan options. It's hard to find local places in riverside that have good vegan options, but this place has a whole menu for us! The owners are very wonderful people.They have cable that plays sea animals & has inspiring quotes on the wall. Wish they would play less county music, but over all food is 100% recommend & great place to sit down, relax & eat! Will be coming back to try many MANY more menu options

Always drive by and have been curious about it. So glad we finally decided to try it. Absolutely great food and great service. Will definitely be adding this place to our regular rotation of local spots. Must try the cubed beed with onions and mushrooms.

LEGIT! If you're vegan stop reading now and just go there. It's that good. FOOD WAS AMAZING. They have a HUGE vegan menu of amazing Vietnamese food. The host, Anthony, was very friendly and helpful with the menu and explaining things. Super fun and casual environment. We watched a UFC fight while eating. Fun all around. Why are you still reading this? GO NOW!

The owner Anthony and his mom are wonderful! Top notch service. Delicious food, very welcoming, and it seemed like many others were return patrons because of the warm atmosphere, entertainment (UFC fight) and great food. What blew us away was the extensive vegan menu! It was at least half of the entire menu! My husband and I will definitely be back.

Do not come here for food. I could barely taste the meat and cheese on my Lasagna. Egg rolls and Tofu were nasty.

The restaurant we were planning to visit wasn't open for another 20 minutes and we saw this place across the street so decided to check it out. We were seated quickly, and our server came over right away to take our order. Food came out quickly and was hot and delicious. All three of us enjoyed the dishes we chose. The battery on my friend's car was giving her problems and AAA was 20 minutes away. We asked our server if it would be any problem for us to hang out inside and wait. He asked if she had jumper cables and offered to come out and jump her car. Served his "regulars" another beer and came out with us to help. The car didn't end up starting with a jump but he and another employee tried several times. While we were chatting he mentioned that his family also owns the nail salon around the corner. I believe his name was Anthony and he went above and beyond in the customer service department. I can't wait to give them more business at the nail salon and we will be back to eat soon too!

Wow! You can really taste the love in this food. It is fresh, crisp and refreshing. Had the calamari with wasabi ranch dip (not super greasy!), house fusion special with beef, and spring rolls. These were ordered and shared among 3 adults and we were satisfied. Food is packed with flavor and spice. Bartender is generous with his cocktail concoctions. Very glad I found this gem :)

Fresh food and friendly service. They have vegan and vegetarian options as well. The prices are fair for the portions!

We are local and always pass by Fusion Restaurant. This is was the first time we stopped to eat here and it was long over due because the food is so great and taste so good. We ordered the spring rolls, bun and Asian chicken salad for lunch . This is our new place to come and eat. I Highly recommend this place.

This place is a hidden gem in Riverside, the staff are welcoming & the spicy Margarita was the best that I've ever had! The food was so fresh & delicious, definitely plan on returning again.
Literally one of the best restaurants I have like - that I am willing to write a review. Anthony thank you for the hospitality, the suggestions, the talk ! Food is amazing good, my wife is vegan and they have a lot of vegan choices. Will be coming back !

Food is so fresh and amazingly good. 2nd time for dinner and so happy with the staff and food. Calamari is so good. The batter is so light. The bartender makes the greatest drinks. The pho is delicious. The house fusion....oh my...the veggies and the meat is the best.

In the meths of searching for nearby location, we stumbled upon this small but modern Asian fusion restaurant. The review raved about their Pho and it's choices. My family and I are avid Pho consumers. I've eaten at many locations in the LA and IE with some locations better than others but still holding on to the traditional broths and condiments along with the variety of cuts of meat to create your very own perfect bowl. To my dismay, the restaurant only offered beef round eye as the only possible choice. No tripe, no brisket or fatty brisket, if you are feeling daring. I love all beef and so I went against my instinct and my usual choices of meat, and I orders their only beef choice. Upon arrival , it looked as to be expected. My first instinct to determine the quality of a location is to sip the broth untouched by any other ingredients. It immediately had very little flavor except an over powering taste and feel of oil. Not at all how it should taste. You should be hit with a rich in flavor kind of broth. But nevertheless, I was still optimistic and so I began my usual mixing of ingredients believing this could be salvaged. To my disappointment, no matter what I did , it just wasn't not at all salvageable. I asked for something else and explained my reasons and how I truly tried to rectify the situation. The waitress took my instructions and threw them out the window. Instead she directed the kitchen to recreate the pho once more with a supposed different broth. I told her no because I didn't want to wait anyone's time so please cancel. So she again goes against my wishes once more and does not cancel it and returns to me to tell me it's coming. I again object and finally I'm met with a other gentleman. He was courteous and asked what I would like and retreated back to the kitchen. All in all, if you are searching for authenticity, it's not the location. But if you don't mind something more Americanized, give it a try.

It sure is a hidden gem in Riverside with excellent service and quality food! The drinks are on par!

Have always come here for the best pho in town, when in reality everything I've ever had off their menu has been delicious. 100% recommend.
