About La Fusion

La Fusion is a restaurant located near Occidental cigar lounge, known for its excellent food and welcoming atmosphere. It has been a hidden gem in San Francisco for over a decade, offering amazing food and relatively easy seating. The restaurant is cozy and unassuming, with a large bar dominating the space.

La Fusion's menu features a variety of dishes, all of which have been praised for their quality. The ceviche, particularly the seared tuna, is fresh and packed with flavor. The lomo saltado and rotisserie chicken are standout dishes, with the chicken being incredibly juicy and flavorful. The "bread salad" that accompanies the chicken soaks up all the juices and is a highlight of the meal. The menu also includes a mushroom-based soup that has received high praise. Customers have enjoyed the seafood pot pie, describing it as absolutely phenomenal, and the mix of fluffy and crunchy empanadas as very delicious and different from others tried before.

Service at La Fusion is noted for being nice and attentive, with the owner/chef often seen with a big smile. During busy hours, the restaurant can serve food quickly; for example, the Lomo Saltado was ready in less than 15 minutes. The beef is tender, soft, and perfectly marinated with umami, sweet, and salty flavors. The fries are a perfect addition, and the empanadas are praised for their fluffy and crunchy texture. While the prices are a bit on the expensive side, the quality and flavor of the food make it worth visiting. Overall, La Fusion remains a must-visit restaurant in San Francisco for those seeking excellent food and a warm, inviting environment.
