Wow a3 hour wait for food and 1.5 hours for a rum punch. Totally unacceptable. It's Christmas season and coworkers want to have fun. This establishment needs to hire more workers. Once the food and drink came for those of us who weren't disgruntled it was well prepared and the drinks were strong. Thank goodness we like each other and the music was good or else I'm not sure what would have happened. read more

Dad - curry goat Sister - fried chicken Brother - jerk chicken Me - oxtail Rasta pasta Out of all of these dishes nothing was a "wow" Everything was mediocre, you can go on YouTube and find a recipe and make a better dish The fried chicken was super dry like a frozen dinner thing when u warm it up on the toaster oven Curry goat lacked, didn't wow me at all Jerk chicken lacked flavor too, they need to pay 876 jerk to teach them Mac n cheese .. us Jamaicans we keep trying and "it neva Mek it " The pasta and oxtail ... listen y'all get the point Just take the extra ride and go to The Simpson or Swingz Also biggest pet peeve EVERYONE wants a party lit spot not a dining spot so if you think u can dine in and have a conversation about anything ? Good luck you're going to shout louder than a selecta at a dancehall party read more

AMBIANCE: Place has really cool dim lighting with nice a nice blue shine. The atmosphere gives Joyful vibes FOOD/DRINKS: I love that the drinks are strong and tasty. I had the red snapper and it was traditional and tasty. They didnt forget the mighty scotch bonnet pepper. My spouse had the oxtail and loved it. Hookah had pineapple flavor which we loved. CLEANLINESS: Bathroom was clean. No tissue on the floor, No bad smell. Utensils and glassware were clean. The Mirror in the bathroom is tiny. NOISE/MUSIC: The best thing about this place is the live DJ. Music has a wide variety with reggae influence. I came here on a Wednesday evening with my partner and we were able to have a conversation and enjoy the music. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Our appetizer came after our dinner but the waitress was extremely apologetic about it. No reconciliation was offered though. At the very least, it did come hot so we appreciated it. DRESS: Comfy-Cute / Informal Note Worthy: -All tips are included. I think 18-20% -Bar is a decent size for a small place -The surrounding area outside this place looks great too! I recommend this place and would try it again read more

Fusion East - Jerk Chicken wings - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here on a Monday night and it was a pretty interesting night. I had heard not so good things about this place but decided to give it a try anyway. My bf and I walk in and look around no host or waiter to greet us. So we just start to walk towards a table because we assume we must have to seat ourselves. Then the bartender comes from behind the bar and seats us and hands us menus. As we are seated I notice that there is a DJ but there isn't any music playing. Then a waiter pops up saying he'll be right with us but first he has to fix the sound system for karaoke. Apparently this was the priority over serving customers. Waiter was very nice and friendly so we just tried to roll with it. We get our drink and food order ready for his eventual return. Surprisingly the food comes pretty quickly. The food was fine. Nothing amazing but not bad. Drinks arrived quickly as well. But, the drinks had to presentation to them at all. Everyone is the restaurant just looked like they were drinking different variations of fruit punch. They drinks were tasty though. And the karaoke did take place. Some people (mostly the waiter, no seriously) sang. So I'm on the fence with this place. Maybe I'll try it again. read more

- Cool spot - I love that it's in the cut and away from everything - Neat for dates, and chances are your guest hasn't been here - The rum punch is strong, be aware - Background music was groovy - good ribs - codfish fritters did not disappoint read more

The absolute WORST service I have ever experienced. For the food to be mediocre, the customer service is HORRIBLE. THE WORST!!!!!!!!!!++

Ate here with a friend on a Friday evening before going to a function at church. It wasn't busy at all that night, so we were greeted and seated promptly. I ordered boneless curry chicken with rice, which I thought was really good. It was my first time having boneless curry chicken and honestly I don't think I'd want it any other way. I can def do without that bone lol. I was disappointed though because a couple of items we wanted to order were not available because they ran out. Like plantains. How you gonna run out of plantains? That is one of the main things you have to order when going to a Caribbean restaurant. It's my absolute fav! I needed that bit of sweetness in every other bite with the savory curry chicken and I didn't have that. We did order dessert to go -- carrot and red velvet cake. That was good. I guess I got my sweet with that. Would return for a second try. Hopefully I can get that item my meal was missing the first go round. Let's hope it's worth it too! read more

Been here a few times and I love this place. Food is good. Drinks are STRONG! Definitely not watered down at all. The staff was really warm, welcoming & friendly. They have a DJ that plays music which is cool too. Manager was very accommodating when my friend thought her jerk chicken was too spicy and promptly switched it for another order. I live close by so I'll definitely be going back. :) read more

I am ecstatic that the Owner choose this location to open this Caribbean restaurant and Lounge. I choose this location to host my company Christmas party. The manager, Dan, was very accommodating and patient with assisting me organizing my party. He consistently opened his line of communication to make sure every thing was available and needed for my 30+ person event. The food has improved over the years. The guest that attended the event expressed that the food was great except some minor hiccups. Overall, I will continue to patronize this neighborhood staple. Steam Snapper- Great, wished it was a bit more spicier, needs Pumpkin and more Veggies! Codfish Fritters- Wish it was spicier Rice and Peas- A + Jerk Chicken- Just the way I like it- A Drinks- Yum, Yum Yum and strong read more

I've been here twice and the second time was far better than the first , food wise! Customer service was phenomenal both times! Went on a Wednesday afternoon (day before Thanksgiving) and the restaurant only had a few guests and some at the bar. Found on street parking right in front of the restaurant with no problem. Last time we went was for my cousin's graduation and they gave us 2 Free bottles of sparkling wine which was wonderful - This time I was in more of an intimate one on one situation and Fusion was perfect for that. Quiet, "in the cut" and with a host of attentive staff. I ordered the Brown stew chicken and my friend ordered fried chicken with Mac and cheese. Both were great - we kind of shared plates so we could eat a bit of both. I was definitely happy with the food and service here, will return soon. Also we got a few different drinks, They were all good! I've posted some pictures. If ordering drinks ask the staff member that is waiting on you what they recommend! That's what I did and I wasn't disappointed! read more

Omg where do I start. First of all I have heard so many good things about this place but I guess like all things you have to go for yourself. Entered. Wasn't greeted AT ALL. The two men that were present was awful. The drinks were drenched with rum(A good drink doesn't have to be drenched in alcohol to be amazing) the chairs were dirty, the tables were dirty, flies were flying around(won't hold that against them because someone must've opened the door) l, take out was going faster than in-door dining. The food was decent. Please revamp and do better. Some suggestions: Greeters should be present and pleasant, Bartenders should know what they are doing, Servers should be alert and aware of who is around. Finally, don't expect a tip if you did an awful job. read more

Delicious food Awesome Service Amazing Bartender We had the chicken and goat roti, the fusion sampler, the Fusion LIT and the Sorrel Mojito. Everything we ate did NOT disappoint! S/o to Eduardo our waiter. He was so sweet and so attentive (even though he knew his tip was guaranteed). We decided to hang at the bar and Venus was outstanding. I ordered a special drink and she placed her "razzle dazzle" on it and made it an 11/10. I told her to call it the Venus Special and add it to the menu. We had a slight hiccup with our bill but the staff went above and beyond to make things right. This place was a great vibe on a Friday night and I highly recommend. read more

I'm adding this review to my Yelp Hall of Bad Food list. This establishment was an ultimate disappointment. I gave this place three highly paid visits. Each time, the food quality just got worse. The drinks were somewhat poorly made; either there was an unbalanced mixture between the ingredients or the liquor quality was poor. I suspected the staff used Georgi vodka for their cocktails and watered down champagne for their mimosas. Totally unacceptable. Service was a joke. The staff was nice BUT they were forgetful and slow as molasses. I mean, each time, I didn't see a crowd of people so I expected alittle bit of speed in service but nah. The last visit, they forgot my mother's meal (ackee and fish) and when she got it, it was extremely salty. My sister was going to flag down the waiter so he can take it back but my mom didn't want issues. I think the only decent dish was the steamed snapper and rice and peas. My family tried the fish and they said it was good. My sister's curry chicken was very cold. She suspected that the chicken was made a few days ago and they just warmed it. No bueno. Same thing with the kiddies' waffles. It was hard as brick. I made waffles before with a waffle maker and usually after three days, it's not that fresh so the waffles were made probably over a week ago. This place need a total revamp. read more

Wanted Sunday dinner but I didn't feel like cooking so I stepped into Fusions. It's in the neighborhood and I been meaning to check it out. I had Oxtails, rice & peas with collard greens. Everything was yummy. The Oxtails were falling off the bone that meat was so tender. The greens were seasoned well and not tough at all. They gave me extra gravy with no problem. If you frequent Jamaica Restaurants you know what a pleasure that is. LOL My waiter was very attentive and checked on me often. The music was a little to loud for a Sunday afternoon for me but it was a great selection. I'll be back. read more

I keep trying to give the spot a try but disappointed every time. *sigh I was given a take out menu and the $5 deal menu. I ordered chicken & waffles, which is on both menus, but of course I'm considering the $5 right? Who doesn't want a deal?! I was charged $12 because the waitress "assumed" I was ordering from the take out menu. Then I get home and the chicken had no flavor. It was just thrown in the grease with no seasoning. My rum punch barely had rum... ugh! I'm highly disappointed and let's not forget the 4 previous times I've been here and disappointed then as well. I tried...2 stars given only because my daughter enjoyed her curry shrimp. read more

Although the bartender was helpful I had ordered food and I sampled the items on the plate and informed them the food was cold. When the food was given back to me it still had the food I bit / sampled still on the plate. She informed me that she put the food in the microwave and I was I unsatisfied with that I think that it was very unprofessional. read more

I've visited this restaurant twice just to be sure my tasting was accurate. The music played is very enjoyable & the cocktails are very tasty - chocolate martini to be exact. But, the food is simply not good. I've tried the brown stew chicken w/ rice and beans & also the macaroni with crispy wings. The flavor/season were lacking ... For each meal I've ordered, I tend to only have two to three bites before I push it to the side. I won't order food next time I decide to stop by... read more

I have ordered from this restaurant for years. I ordered the vegetable roti and it was horrible, the skin(wrap) was chewy and stale. The vegetables were ok but it appeared to be the filling from a veggie Rasta pasta. No potatoes or curry. It was saucy which I never had in my life. The plantain were old looking tasted ok. They would have been better off saying they ran out. My partner had the Rasta pasta with salmon, he said the salmon was overcooked. Disappointed to say the least. read more

Wow! Was going to the airport and my friends and I decided to get brunch before we go. First our server was very nice and attentive I believe her name was Mary. It was empty when we arrived due to weather but there was a plethora of people waiting for Togo orders in the back section. Their brunch is $45 it comes w drinks an entree and a starter. Me and my friend got the fruit bowls and my other friend got the plantain bites w ackee and saltfish. I'll say it was just ok. I mean it's just a bowl of fruit not much to complain about but I wasn't crazy about the plantain bites, regardless my friends loved them so! So for our entrees, I got the shrimp and grits, my friend got the chicken and red velvet waffles and my other friend got the jerk steak. And let me tell you! The way we were eating off eachothers plates! I didn't know who's entree was better! But the food did take FOREVER to come. Which I thought was strange considering we were the only table seated but I can understand with the amount of Togo orders they had coming in. The place is very big with LOTS of tables. I'll definitely be back! read more

Ive been wanting to come here for some time and finally made it. It was during covid so it was empty. The female at the bar was not friendly at all. Seemed bothered. The drinks are to go now but the cognac ate thru the cup. Food was okay. I had the fried chicken. read more

I am a bit surprised by some of the low reviews. True to its name, this restaurant serves a mix of Caribbean and soul food cuisine. However, I felt that the menu was more Jamaican inspired than strictly Caribbean. Wasn't in the mood for Caribbean food, so I ordered the southern fried chicken with macaroni & cheese, collard greens and a side of candied yams. This combination and its success (or not) is my usual rubric for a soul food joint. The fried chicken was incredible: juicy, flavored right and crunchy. One of the better fried chickens I have had in a minute. The collard greens were tasty and Caribbean inspired. The yams were awesome: sweet but not overly sweet. The macaroni & cheese was disappointing. I had the "ginger sorrel" for my drink which was refreshing and tasted like sorrel with a strong kick of ginger (true to its name, again). Overall I enjoyed my dinner. The food came out relatively quickly, was reasonably portioned and moderately priced. My only complaint was that the music was a bit too loud for my liking. Probably the best dinner like spot I can think of in the area...especially considering the crap chain restaurants in Gateway Mall across the street. Its worth a shot. read more

Fusion East - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Will most likely make this my new go-to spot for Caribbean food (I frequent two other spots but this one is much closer to my house). Placed a pick-up order on Friday (3/12). Wasn't the best experience at first (order didn't seem to be in their system initially). However the manager (Ali) was kind enough to help us out, despite it being quite crowded. Food that we eventually received was delicious. We'll be back. Please keep that $5 menu for awhile! read more

My wife and were regular patrons of Fusion restaurant, because we lived in the neighborhood, Wednesday night 12/27/23 we ordered 2 $20.00 Jerk chicken dinners. Them came extremely burnt and so hard we couldn't chew it. I called the store that night and informed the manager we just received by uber two burnt jerk chicken dinners, his response was I very sorry about that. Next day I went in, and informed the manager that my wife and I were regularly supporterd of fusion, and about our extremely burnt/hard chicken dinners, showed him a photo and he said, in a sarcastic tone "what do u want me to do about?" I was very surprised at the non caring attitude!! No more fusion for us. read more

So I came back here since my first time was so great. Sadly this was not the case this time. The price for brunch went up by five dollars, and now instead of brunch being pre fixe it's a buffet but certain items have to be ordered through your waiter. Unfortunately it took forever to get one of our orders (shrimp and grits) as there was only one waiter servicing the entire restaurant. I was told that his is the second price increase so that in part with the lack of staff is the deciding factor for me to not return. read more

No matter how many times we've given this place a try, they always seem to disappoint. When the staff is rude, sarcastic, and fail to be respectful and courteous, it doesn't even matter what the food tastes like. The locals will probably continue to come because of a lack of competition and not knowing better. It is absolutely ashame. Who is really in charge of this place? read more

They suck the food is horrible My last straw Was when I was ordering for takeout and I caught a glimpse of the kitchen where they had chicken on the floor in bins the kitchen staff stepping over the bins it was a mess I grabbed my daughter and walked straight out the restaurant.

OH MY GAAAAWD! This place is a hidden gem! Baby, let me tell you. My home girl and I came here on a Friday afternoon starving and this place was amazing.

Went in today to meet up with family, i live across the street and first time i went here i had a terrible experience decided to try them again sad to say this experience was worst than the first time ... today temperature in Brooklyn was 16 degrees and it was exactly 16 degrees in this restaurant every one had there coats still on how is this suppose to be a cozy comfortable restaurant if it's freezing in here , we ordered our food and had to wait 2 hours you read right 2 hours in a cold restaurant for them to tell me they never put in my food order . Although the manager gave us a shot and drink on him (free drinks were terrible) this restaurant was the worst don't recommend and definitely will not go back and yes i told the manager i was going to write a review. read more

I started going here for lunch since they have $5 containers, of which I don't need to eat a lot since I'm busy at work and don't want to get too sleepy. I originally was going to come on here and give a great review BUT my last experience DEFINITELY changed that. I went to get a to-go order and the cashier was great. She made a revision to my order (due to her quick fingers, which wasn't an issue). The issue came in when after she told one of the cooks about the revision. After he handed her the container and I asked if he placed steamed cabbage in my container, she told him that I didn't want it. He rolled his eyes, took the container back and proceeded to remove the cabbage, of which I then said to him, "I'm sorry Sir but I cannot eat that. I have to have a new plate made". He decided to look at me, continue taking out the cabbage, almost handed it back to her and sucked his teeth. I immediately asked for a refund and while doing so, he started to make comments about me in his native accent (Jamaican), not realizing that I am one too. So let's say that the conversation and choice words I had for him neither he nor the rest of the staff was expecting. And I definitely will say that my mouth was spicier than any food product they had in the entire establishment. The manager was trying to diffuse the situation, but by then I was completely disgusted. She asked the cashier if he was going to make another plate and the cashier said yes. At this point, it wouldn't have mattered. No very much older man should be rolling his eyes and sucking his teeth at anyone, especially a customer. I was taught that you don't have anyone serve you after you get into a disagreement with them. And judging by the disgusting attitude of the cook, I'm very sure he would have spit, blew his nose, sneeze or put something in my food. I no longer trusted him. I am very well capable of cooking my native food at home. I just like to have convenience when and where possible. I am a HUGE supporter of small business, especially those from the Caribbean. I have a natural allergy and stomach upset to the cabbage. All he had to do was say sorry and make another plate. I did not come in to the restaurant begging for any free food. I was and am always a PAYING customer. All is not bad there, as I would like to add that the regular gentleman that I would conversed with (brown skinned gentleman with the glasses, who is very well spoken and a wonderful spirit to interact with), makes the ordering process a lovely event. The day before this incident, we were speaking about hip hop band The Roots. The food isn't the greatest but it is eatable and can get you through the day. So if you are going to go here, MAKE SURE YOU NOR YOUR SERVER OR YOUR CASHIER makes any errors or you return your plate back because there is a mistake....because you DEFINITELY can get food poisoned since simply removing an item from your plate is enough to make your order correct. As for me, I will eat from the other options that are available or bring my food from home. Fusion East almost had a loyal customer, but it is always one rotten apple that spoils the entire bunch. read more

I came here with my family to celebrate my nephew's graduation 2 weeks ago. We ordered the fusion platter as an appetizer and an order of jerk wings. The saltfish fritters tasted mainly like fried dough, the calaloo was oily but luckily it taste like calaloo, and everything else was fine. Three of us ordered oxtail and fusion pasta: it was a little salty, however it was good. Two of us ordered oxtail with rice and peas; it was good. One person ordered salmon with rice and peas; she had to ask for oxtail gravy and said it was good but the gravy was a little salty. One person ordered fried chicken with greens and mac and cheese; the food was good. Our waitress was nice and decent. When I walked in, the first thing I noticed was one of the waitress wearing a see-through black pants. That is unprofessional and weird attire. The music they played was cool; they played soca and a little reggae. The location is not in view of the mall, but not a bad spot to check out. I was not wow'd for a special occasion, but my nephew didn't complain. read more

Came here Friday night. The vibe was really cool. Everyone seemed to be happy and enjoying themselves. I ordered the fusion chicken pasta. Which is basically rasta pasta. It was good but I couldn't eat it because it was spicy and I was about to go dancing. Lol. Our waitress Thandy (hope I spelled that right) was great! She was upbeat and helpful. I normally stay away from mixed drinks when I go out but their drinks were strong which is always a plus! I'm giving 3 stars only because I'd like to try other things on the menu like their oxtails. So yeah I would come back here it's a nice little spot. read more
