The best food truck on UC Davis campus in my opinion. :) It's kind of far, near the Mondavi Building, but I promise its worth the walk. It's better than Shah's since the portion size seems bigger and food comes out in less than 1 min, and lines are shorter than Shah's. I usually get the chicken over rice with extra spicy sauce (no extra cost for sauce) :). ($7.25 with a drink) The food always comes out piping hot, with enough sauce~ The lettuce us crunchy with plenty of white sauce on it. I am so stuffed when ever I get this meal! My only criticism is the portion of meat to rice, they tend to give you more rice than meat. The food truck is only open until 2-3 PM, I wish it was open until 6 PM :(. Other than that, the cashier is friendly and food is always fresh~ Will definately stop by again when I feel like walking toward Mondavi. read more

Fusion Fresh Cafe - Chicken over rice~ - Food Trucks Near Me - Davis, California

For all intents and purposes, this is pretty interchangeable with Shahs. They are owned by the same people, their menu is the same, and their food tastes the same. My go-to is the chicken gyro without tomatoes, and it is yummy. My only complaint would be that the pita bread isn't very high quality. read more

This place is so much better than Shah's although they seem very similar and are most likely owned by the same people. However, this Fusion Fresh is definitely a lot more fresh than Shah's because they seem to make the food as people order and they also have soda in cans (they're still carbonated!). Also the salad is a lot more crunchy so that's an extra plus. The portion size is about the regular size. I got a chicken a rice plate with extra white sauce and extra Sriracha sauce which came out to $7.75! It is so jealous! Yummy yummy!! Their chicken is delicious and tastes very fresh as mentioned before. Also, they don't charge extra for using credit card or debit card so that's always a plus! The workers here are extremely friendly and don't make you feel rushed to order or pay. However, the downside is that they do not have restrooms nearby and the Mondavi Center isn't open for their customers. Also, there were only about 6 tables for people to lounge around and eat. I would recommend this place if you don't want to wait in a long line and want a break from school. You need to pass by the arboretum to get this mini food truck so you get fresh air and yummy food! read more

Exactly 100 steps from my office, yet I'd walk a mile for the food! Halal is my life and this little cart is everything thing I would want. Big portions, reasonable prices, including a soda, and pleasant service. Lamb Rice plate, trifecta Chicken Tacos, and Tikka Tuesday makes 100 steps a real fast and fabulous meal! read more

Fusion Fresh Cafe - Chicken Tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Davis, California

My husband and I absolutely love food trucks. We go to events where they have more then 20 trucks in one area so I think our standard in food trucks are pretty high. My husband's coworker recommended a truck in Davis and we decided to stop by here since we were going to Davis anyway! Parking as you know is a pain, it's on UCD campus. But we were happy with the food choices they had and my husband ended up ordering the falafel plate and I got the chicken gyro. Both were delicious and there was no wait! I'm glad we checked this place out! read more

My go-to is lamb over rice or chicken over rice. Tbh there isn't a drastic flavor difference but the textures are noticable. One order goes for $9.50 (after tax), I remember when it used to be $7. The price includes a "free" soft drink or water bottle. I don't think it's worth the price now but Shah's has such a dear spot in my heart. It's my comfort food after a rough midterm or a quick bite when I'm too lazy to cook dinner. This food truck usually never has a long line as its at the back edge of campus. There's an identifical food truck at the Silo which usually always has a wait (10-15 minutes), but once you order, the food comes out almost immediately. They're one of the trucks that open earliest and stay the latest. The rice dish is sooooo filling. I can usually only eat half and save the rest for later. But when I do finish the whole thing, I'm definitely stuffed for another 8 hours. You get tons of rice, a decent portion of meat (depending on who's making it), lettuce and white sauce. And sriracha if you want it spicy. Extra white sauce or Sriracha is an additional $0.75 which is absolutely way too much, in my opinion. The dish is already $9. But I'll definitely be back. It's good, a lot of food and convenient. read more

HAVE AGAIN: The naan kabab was very tasty and delicious. I saved $1 by not having the drink - great deal for $6.50. Plus, in my 2/11/2013 review, I wrote: the falafel sandwich was very good and came with a drink (soda or water) for $6. Perfect location just outside a noon matinee at Mondavi. read more

I stopped at the Mondavi Center ticket/box office to buy tickets for a show on campus (Wright Hall) and gosh do I miss that student discount! They even had a free noon concert! But, priorities first, I had gone on my lunch break (hurrah 9-5ers) and parking was fine with permit...but I was hungry! Saw this food truck right nearby and decided to check it out, had the chicken soft tacos (mild) with free bottle of water. The chicken was more like kabob style except in the tortilla instead of pita, fusion indeed! Yummy and cheap. Way to go, dunno if it's still Sodexho these days but props. read more

Pretty standard halal that is a cut below "Halal guys." The highlights here are lamb/chicken over rice- which comes with a basic salad and a drink. The meats are tasty and well seasoned, and the rice it comes with is just average. I wish that for the price you also get a piece of pita bread or something more, as I find a small tray of food unsatisfying. Another good deal is the breakfast burrito before 10:30 - I get it with chicken, eggs, and cilantro and the eggs are fluffy and nice. Otherwise, I don't recommend options with fries or chips and the quesadilla here is pretty average. For a quick bite around Mondavi/the visitor center this place suffices but mostly for the chicken/lamb over rice. read more

Such good halal food at such a good price! More variety an options than the Silo Shahs. I love the Chapli Kabob and the chicken taco and the sheesh kabob chicken. yumm my mouth is salivating right now. Why didn't I know about this before?! I'm coming here every week! read more

Get the egg and cheese breakfast burrito and ask them to put a hashbrown inside. You're welcome. I work across the street so I come here about once a week. It's tasty, fast, and reasonably priced. I usually get the breakfast burrito with a hashbrown in the morning and it's so filling I can just eat some yogurt in the afternoon for lunch. It is seriously so delicious too. Otherwise, my favorite is the chicken quesadilla, and I ask for salad instead of chips. It's just shredded iceberg, but it's nice and crunchy and fresh. With the salad I can eat half a quesadilla for lunch and save the second one for the next day. One is a little too much for me, but half with a salad is perfect! read more

The chicken over rice is very similar to the one served in silo! The meat chunks are much bigger and the vege tastes fresher! Even tho it's a bit more expensive than the one in silo, it worth the price! Another great thing about here is that there is no long line! You don't have to WAIT! read more

Fusion Fresh Cafe - Chicken over rice! But more expensive than the food truck in silo, even tho they r the same. - Food Trucks Near Me - Davis, California

Needed a quick bite while walking back to my hotel from campus and this truck fit the bill. The lamb gyro was served on warm, soft pita bread and topped with greens (I want to say cabbage, but it might have been lettuce), chopped tomatoes, onions, yogurt sauce, and hot sauce. The meat was flavorful and tender. All lunches come with a drink, and my combo clocked in at just under $7. Very satisfied with the quality, price, portion, and speed of service. read more

I got the Chicken with salad and rice, so yummy! $7 came with a drink too. read more

Fusion Fresh Cafe - Friendly guy with yummy food! - Food Trucks Near Me - Davis, California

Just as good as Shah's! I come here sometimes when the Shah's line is ridiculous. Which happens pretty frequently, and understandably given how good Shah's is. The quality of this place is on par with Shah's. there's some slight differences in the chicken seasoning, but it's delicious nonetheless. I think the chicken cubes are bigger over here than at Shah's? Or I might just be imagining things. In any case, I recommend this place if Shah's is too packed. Or if you're near Mondavi center in general. It's good stuff! read more

+ THE FOOD Pretty much the exact same thing as Shah's Halal cart but the portion sizes are a bit bigger. The meats are bigger cubes than the chunks given at the Silo. I thought the meat was a bit more flavored too. I think they add little more vegetables too (with tomatoes and onions), rather than just lettuce at the other food cart. This cart has more variety because it has breakfast options and more drinks offered. I think since there are more options here, the food is slightly more expensive. The chicken over rice was $7.75, whereas it's $7.50 at the Silo. + THE LOCATION One thing I love about this food cart is that there are NO LINES!! At the Silo, you might wait up to 20 minutes in line, but the most you'd probably have to wait at this food cart is 5 minutes. There's also a bunch of seating nearby so you'll have a nice place to eat your lunch! read more

This place is LITERALLY the same truck as Shah's by the Silo BUT with a bigger menu (breakfast + some other lunch options). I actually like Fusion Fresh more because lines are WAYYY shorter AND you get bigger portions! My mixed over rice actually got me full. AND they give out cans of soda instead of having a soda machine with diluted soda!! AND mixed over rice is $7.75, at the silo, there's an extra charge for mix I've tried their chicken breakfast burrito ($3.50) and its basically the halal chicken with eggs, onions, and cheese (I think?). The burrito was ok, Im not used to the eating the chciekn outside of chicken/rice but the burrito was pretty big and filling. The only problem with this truck is that its at the Mondavi center which is SO far from the rest of campus. read more

In comparison to Shah's, this food truck is disgusting, rice was nasty and portion was small. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

I've eaten here twice and both times, thought the food was OK, the customer service was horrible!!! I stood at the order window for a few minutes while the cashier finished his conversation on his cell phone and pretended he didn't see me and then he acted like I was a huge inconvenience for cutting his call short. Also, he tossed my food out the pick up window, yelled "here", and slammed the window shut and I thought that was a bit rude. If I'm paying $9 for a gyro, I might as well go somewhere where they actually appreciate their customers. Will never go here again and I don't/won't recommend to others. read more

The guy is a true jerk. It's like you're asking him for a favor, anyways there's another truck that's usually parked next to him who sells the exact same food. It's cheaper and better, I'd suggest going there read more

Food can be a little pricey (,$7.25 for a most dishes + soda). I usually come here during classes at GSM for a quick bite. I personally recommend chicken over rice, and chicken shish kabob over rice. The serving size isn't exactly big but good enough for lunch. read more

I love this food truck. It's located just outside Mondavi Center on the UC Davis campus. As a staff member at UC Davis I find myself eating here at least once a week. My favorite is definitely the chicken kabob dish, though really everything I've tried here has been great. They primarily serve halal but have a variety of foods for those who are interested in something else, such as spring rolls (very good!), french fries, chicken tacos, quesadillas, etc. They also recently added more halal items to the menu as well. The portions they give are the perfect size, and I'm in love with their white sauce. I like spicy, but the red sauce is much too spicy for me. Most dishes come with a soda or water. They also serve several breakfast items, though I haven't tried any yet. There is outdoor seating right next to this truck, a few tables with umbrellas. Service is very fast and friendly, even on busy days. There is another halal truck on campus that always has very long lines, but most students don't know about this one so lines are usually short or non-existent. There's really nothing to complain about here. It is lunch perfection. read more

Great food in a location with no options! Fast and friendly service...yummy food that's affordable, filling and tasty! Highly recommend trying them! read more

I have probably eaten here hundreds of times. Love their chicken kabob over rice, it never gets old.

As far as food trucks go, this one has got to be one of the worst I've been to. First off, the only reason I come here occasionally is because it is slightly better than dining common food...SLIGHTLY. Ive had the different meats over rice as well as the gyros, all of which are extremely mediocre. They try to compensate for under seasoned meat with exorbitant amounts of white sauce and sriracha. These meals are also too expensive, and if I wasn't able to use meal swipes here I would have never visited. Furthermore, they ALWAYS run out of food. Chicken, rice, tortillas, you name it. And lastly, everyone except for the guy at the window is extremely rude! You ask them how much longer for your food and they always give an excuse or looked perplexed as to why I would be asking this in the first place. Mediocre food, expensive, bad service, and they need to prep more food and stop running out of everything! read more
