    Fish Ball Soup lukewarm and bland, boiled beef brisket bland and over bed of bean sprouts, veggies bland. Awful meal.
    Rita C H.

    They're usually "average". Last night's family meal was a fail. Family meal is for 4 people. $33 is a very affordable price these days. But I suppose their low price is reflected on their foods quality. We ordered their March 4 family meal. It consisted of Fish Ball Soup, Garlic Chicken, Boiled Beef Brisket, and Seasonal Vegetables. All the items were lukewarm. Felt like the order probably had been sitting out for at least an hour. Fish Ball Soup was plain and flavorless. The napa cabbage was not fresh and the soup contained 4 fish balls. Each family member got one fish ball each. Garlic Chicken was the most flavorful of the meal and even that it was not the best. Boiled Beef Brisket was plain and flavorless and was over a bed of bean sprouts. We had to add some sauce to it to make it flavorful. 2/3 bean sprouts & 1/3 beef. There was no mention of bean sprouts on the menu. They really should've called it Boiled Beef Slices & Bean Sprouts. Seasonal Vegetables looked promising but it was also plain and flavorless. We had to add our own salt to make it tasty. It was so disappointing. Don't think we'll be ordering their family meals any time soon.

    Cafe Fusion has a large Taiwanese menu selection, and they offer free delivery for $65+ in many cities such as Pasadena, Glendale, Calabasas, Glendale, West LA, Torrance, Palos Verdes, and Porter Ranch. They offer prix fixe menu $50 that lets you pick 3 entrees, 1 soup, and rice. My favorites are the Taiwanese loofah with cherry shrimp 絲瓜, salted egg pumpkin 鹹蛋南瓜, 五更腸旺, three cups basil eggplants and tofu, and garlic "dragon whiskers" veggies. In general, deep fried food doesn't fare as well for takeout so go for stir fried, boiled, and marinated dishes instead. Their full menu is also available to choose from. They also sell frozen goods, fresh produce, and a few pantry soy sauces. Support woman owned business. They are very hardworking and delivering to many cities far away.

    Their Ba bao Rice is very unpalatable, they put pumpkin seeds on it. I never heard anyone make ba bao rice with pumpkin seeds. and the vegetarian buns have no taste at all. If you eat them, you will wonder if you have the coronavirus. so be careful what you order at this restaurant.

    4.7 stars for Cafe Fusion! They have awesome lunch special deals! I can't find milk fish anywhere else (and deboned at that). They have lots of options on their menu. Plus, their dishes are super authentically Taiwanese! Not too greasy either. Great food and great service! Definitely recommend it if you want to satisfy your Taiwanese food cravings.

    Such a great find for authentic Taiwanese Good at Cafe Fusion! They currently have few tables outside in tents or offer to-go. The menu is impressive. It probably has few hundred different items in total! It spans from different protein items to vegetables. We had a group of 5 people but ordered 10 items haha The food was served in to-go containers so the leftover were easy to pack home. The portion of each item wasn't too big, so it was great to try out many dishes here. Few of my favorites - fried pumpkin with salted egg, boiled whole squid with five flavors sauce, tofu with bamboo shoots, and fried rice. Honestly, every dish here was so delicious. It was great to share with a group of friends. We can't wait to come back again!

    Eel noodles & black chicken soup
    Vivian C.

    Very disappointed by the food, especially the portions at this restaurant. I never leave bad reviews on mom & pop shops like this, but I feel like I need to share my experience. The menu is very Taiwanese (I grew up in Taiwan), but the flavor is quite lacking. We got 2 black chicken soup and 2 eel noodles, and it came out to almost $50. The chicken soup is SO little for $6, and the eel noodles had so little eel, and the eel pieces were very mushy from being frozen. I want all the Taiwanese places to do well, but given there's so many restaurants in SGV that actually deliver great quality and prices, this place is at most 1.5 stars

    Everything here is absolutely delicious and every dish is cooked perfectly. I highly recommend the fried pork. The meat is tender and juicy and pairs perfectly with a bowl of rice.

    Introduction: Café Fusion is a rarity in Arcadia in the sense that in Arcadia very few good restaurants exist. The current Café Fusion is under new management; the original Owner of Café Fusion has relocated to the City of Industry. The old Café Fusion's culinary execution was okay when they first started out then the quality descends shortly after; the new Café Fusion's culinary execution is a lot better overall. The restaurant is predominantly Taiwanese with certain aspects of Asian Fusion. Within SGV, three legitimate Taiwanese restaurants exist: Kingschop in city of Industry, Golden Leaf in San Gabriel, and Café Fusion. Amongst the three, Café Fusion's the best. Golden Leaf's culinary execution is legitimate and on point but Café Fusion's approach is smoother and more refined. Foods: The things I have tried are as follows: Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables: Café Fusion's pork belly with preserved vegetables is one of the best ones I have had thus far. The pork belly is lean at the bottom but without being dry; the upper layer of fat is not too fatty but rather adequately and satisfyingly so. The preserved vegetables are of good quality. This dish goes great when paired with rice. Sticky Rice with Dungeness Crab: The glutinous rice is flavorful and marinaded well. Each bite bear notes of shiitake mushroom, shredded pork, dry shrimp, and umami from the crab. The crab itself is relatively fresh. The price for this dish is $47 and it is on the pricier spectrum; it's best one orders this dish for a special occasion such as a potluck or party: guests will be delighted and the dish will surely turn some heads. Spicy Pork Intestine and Pork Blood in Pot: The spice level for this dish is adequate and mellow; it's not the kind of spiciness that's overly aggressive. It's flavorful and all the ingredients used are of good quality. I especially enjoy the pork blood: the texture of the blood is tender and soft while other establishments' pork blood tends to be over-cooked. Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetable Buns: Buns to Asians are as burgers are to non-Asians: we eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night snack. A good bun is hard to find: the skin has to be soft as opposed to rough, and the ingredients have to be fresh as well as of good quality. Too many establishments get the skin to ingredients ratio wrong; meaning there's too much skin relative to the amount of ingredients. Often the skin is rough too. In addition, usually the ingredients inside are of subpar quality. Café Fusion's pork belly with preserved vegetable buns are different. The skin of the buns is plump and soft. The pork inside the buns is fresh, tender, and succulent. The preserved vegetables are noticeably fresh as well. Chicken in Wine and Sesame Oil Soup with a side of thin noodles: The chicken in wine and sesame oil soup is legitimate. The taste of the wine is distinctly present and the sesame oil adds fragrance to the soup overall. The broth is flavorful, mellow, wholesome, and bears depth. One thing good about this soup is that it's not too oily. Ambiance: Casual Service: Adequate Price: Reasonable depending on what you get.

    black cod fish (10/10 would recommend)
    Tiffany H.

    I've been here a couple of times and I always tend to forget about this gem! They have lots of options on their menu - which is always a plus. I came with my boyfriend and cousin and we ordered the braised pork, clams (salty IMO), black cod fish, and chinese celery with squid (wasn't a fan). The braised pork was SO tender and juicy. I was a little skeptical when it first came out as it was drenched in sauce, which I thought was going to be very salty. However, I was very impressed - I had to scoop extra sauce on my plate cause it was that good. I will definitely be ordering this again. The black cod fish was also a great decision of our dinner. I loved the way it was cooked and how much sauce it comes with. It'd be great with rice! All four dishes for about $100 - which I think is a steal for the quality and quantity of the food. I'll have to keep this restaurant in mind when I'm craving cheap and good food! Parking can be found on the back side of the restaurant. Service was mediocre as they took a little longer than expected to hand us menus.

    On Saturday night a large group of us went to Cafe Fusion for some Taiwanese food. Cafe Fusion is consistently the best Taiwanese cuisine ( not street food ) in L.A. Always authentic always good. Arthur, the owner is always there and keeps the quality of his food up to standards. We ordered the following: Black Cod my favorite always great Smoked and steamed Goose Kidney in rice wine and vermicelli Three cups chittlins and tofu Okra A Choi Bitter melon with slated duck egg Fried sticky rice Make reservations if you have a large party, the lines to get a table at 7 pm are long. 5 bottles of wine and a table of great friends = great evening.

    Take out meal for thanksgiving dinner (chicken not included)
    Ya-Fang L.

    The shrimps with noodles tasted below average. You could not feel any flavors of this dish, and you did not even know how they want to present this dish. This is not a real authentic place for you to find real Taiwanese food. Will skip this restaurant. All of us were really disappointed.

    I've been hearing that this place is under new management, anyone know for sure?

    Yes. The new management is excellent. The new manager, Michelle, is so friendly and helpful when she saw me doubting what to order. I will definitely come back again because Michelle makes me feel so warm and welcomed in here

They use store bought skin, probably to cut labor and cost, but honestly there are better options around the area. This is a casual spot. The service was limited. We had to ask for things more than once. They do have a self service sauce station for your dumplings sauces.

We took out the noodles so they wouldn't drain all the broth. Broth tastes good, and decent amount of beef. -Cucumber appetizer was okay, it's just salted. They use Persian cucumbers that were fresh & crunchy. -Shanghai Style Pan Fried Rice Cakes, this had good toppings but the rice cakes themselves didn't have the wok hei of the wok and were a bit dry. -Stinky Tofu (fried) is a skip for me. After my recent trip to Taipei again, the ones here were no bueno. It needs the pickled cabbage, and the garlic soy sauce. They weren't really stinky either. Service was a little slow with the lunch rush. One unisex bathroom available that was fairly clean. Plentiful parking in shared parking lot with the plaza. Will be back again to get my JiaoHuo JiaoHuo cravings satisfied.
