You have to ask for tempura dip if you order tempura. Which you shouldn't have to.... But I guess things are expensive. But if I order sushi I want soya sauce.... We order tempura... we want the sauce. That's how things work.... Like fries with ketchup. Eggs Bennie with hollandaise....! read more

Tried out a bunch of their aburi sushi, maple roll and their udon carbonara. I think the udon carbonara would have been much better if it was served at the restaurant because once the noodles cool, the cheese does not stretch as much and the dish isn't as creamy as it would have been. Still good, just would have been better at the restaurant. The aburi sushi on the other hand was super tasty. The rice wasn't as packed as it could have been so they fell apart but it didn't bother me too much. The maple roll was pretty fresh as well. Will be back. read more

Tasty but overpriced Sushi place in the middle of nowhere between Burnaby and New Westminster. Parking is available in the dumpy strip mall lot. As of the time of writing, this place is takeout only. It is pretty busy. Staff were friendly. I think this place is Korean run. The staff definitely weren't Japanese. Quality is decent (comparable to Sushi Garden) but it sure is expensive. I could feel my wallet lightening as I placed the order. Roll size is a bit on the small side. Something to keep in mind. Chicken karaage is bite sized as well. Decent place for small eaters, but hungry people should honestly go elsewhere. read more

I came across FusionCore from UberEats and decided to give it a try. Fish, uni and scallop were fresh. Rolls were rolled well. The brown/purple rice we subbed out for a few rolls was excellent. It's usually dry, but not this place. For the prices you pay and what you get, I would order again. read more

I have heard plenty of good stuff about this place. It is a takeout and delivery place with no space to sit in or wait. I suggest calling or do online order in advance so that you can just pick up and go. The parking is tight in the small plaza lot. It takes about 15 minutes for a small order, and longer if you have plenty of items. The croquette sampler was highly raved so I had to try it. You get to try cream corn, pumpkin and potato croquettes. I like pumpkin best, followed by the cream corn. Potato is meh. I did not like the spicy Mayo (?) sauce. I think the traditional tonkatsu sauce will go better with it or maybe I am used to having the tonkatsu sauce which is commonly used in Japan and other Japanese restaurants in Asia when you order croquette. The house special roll combo was a good way to try a bit of everything. It came with appetizer size sashimi, salmon maki and a choice of specialty roll. I chose the salmontain roll which seemed similar to the salmon oshi. It was delicious and the combo was filling. The sashimi was fresh. Definitely worth a repeat order and visit. They also have curry rice with your choice of protein and other items. read more

Hubby and I wanted to try out a new Japanese restaurant because we needed variety instead of just going to our go-to sushi joint. We found Fusion Core on SkipTheDishes and tried it out. We ordered the following: salmon aburi oshi + uni nigiri + miso soup for me while the hubby ordered takoyaki + chicken teriyaki rice bowl for him. Pricing was fair and the aburi was affordable compared to other places in Vancouver. We loved our orders from Fusion Core. The takoyaki was delicious and cooked just right. My salmon aburi oshi was sooo good! I really enjoyed it! The uni was plump and fresh. The hubby liked his chicken teriyaki and takoyaki a lot. Fast forward 2 days later, we both wanted to get dinner from Fusion Core again so opted to call and pick-up our food to see the restaurant in person. It is strictly a delivery/pick-up restaurant with no seating inside -- there are benches in the complex that has Timmy's too. It is clean and tidy inside and parking is available in the area. Our food was ready in about 30mins after we placed our call. For our 2nd time at Fusion Core, the hubby got their Bento C and takoyaki (again LOL) while I ordered beef fried rice, BBQ squid tubes and miso soup. Their bentos are definitely bang for your buck plus the sashimi was fresh and they didn't scrimp on it. The hubby really liked his bento box especially their house salad. Takoyaki was consistently good. My BBQ Squid was cooked perfectly -- it was soft and not tough at all. The beef fried rice was ok -- it was mainly because I expected Japanese style fried rice (yakimeshi) but it was a fusion type fried rice. Beef portions in the fried rice were big though and enough to be eaten alone. Overall, pretty happy with Fusion Core. Looks like we have a new Japanese place to regularly order from. Definitely get a bento box or their aburi oshi when ordering from them, highly recommended! read more

I've now ordered delivery twice from FusionCore and I've got to say, I'm quite pleased with the quality and portions that they offer. Located in a tiny parking lot on the edge of Burnaby/New Westminster, FusionCore is a takeout/delivery spot offering both your sushi faves and more unique offerings like bluefin tuna, salmon belly, Japanese flounder, and monkfish liver. Their selection of aburi oshi and specialty rolls provides a variety of flavours that are sure to meet even the most stubborn of palates. I often forget to take pics of delivery, so I'll have to remember to take pics next time! read more

One of the worst sushi's I've had in a long time. Essentially everything I had from them was ruined by the overcooked mushy rice and the excess amount of sushi vinegar in the rice. To make things worse, my sushi was warm... not heated up warm but room temperature warm. The only thing I liked from them was the truffle butter on the salmon belly nigiri but I would not recommend having this on a nigiri as it overpowered the fish. Items I ordered were: Nigiri sampler Ankimo maki Salmon belly nigiri with truffle butter Lobster roll read more

Discovered this little gem over the weekend. It's located along the border of Burnaby and New West and they have a pretty good selection of specialty oishi, nigiri and rolls and for a decent price! We ordered the Fatty Salmon Nigiri + Chopped Scallop Nigiri + Negitoro Maki + Lava Roll + Aburi Oishi Salmon + Aburi Oishi Jumbo Prawn for takeout. And overall the pricing is really decent! The Aburi Oishi is $11 for 6 generous pieces and did find that they are very filling on their own already as they had a but more rice in the Aburi compared to most locations. Everything was really fresh and I'm quite surprised we can get this great variety and flavours in this area! read more

Exploring the area and found this Japanese eatery nearby. Small place and strictly for takeout as there is no room for seats inside. You can however find some benches in the plaza to eat at. The croquette sampler was an awesome snack to consume with the dip. The cream corn ones were the best, but smaller than the rest. I love that creamy goodness! The pumpkin ones were also delectable and were a good contrast to the cream corn ones. More firm and resoundingly pumpkin. I wasn't too hot about the potato ones though; I could live without them. The wild salmon aburi (1pc) was good. The salmon and tuna belly nigiri seemed better to me as they were silkier. The Alaska roll was more like a California roll here, except with salmon. Nothing much to say about it. The salmon and mackerel aburi oshi were delicious; both were creamy with sauce and melt in your mouth. Would definitely try the others too. I would recommend going for the croquettes and the aburi oshi if you can only go here once. Fast service and remember to skip on the utensils if you're bringing it home! read more

Ordered through UberEats, food was prepared very quickly. Very good value as the portions are very large. Quality is high and there is a good variety of items on the menu. We tried the Sampler Nigiri Sushi combo and Deluxe Sashimi Rice Bowl. Nigiri has a good fish to rice ratio. read more

FusionCore came across my radar due to their high ratings on Yelp, so we decided to give them a try. The storefront is quite unassuming and they are only take out with no room for seating. When we picked up our orders, I was a bit skeptical that it would be enough food for us but boy were we surprised. Not only were all of stuffed, but we also had leftovers. The aburi sushi, in particular I was a big fan of and the prices were very reasonable (only $10.99 per roll). Their speciality rolls were also amazing - salmontain roll and lava roll. The combination of flavours were on point, and I loved the little bit of 'zing' with the spicy sauce. Five stars and would highly recommend! read more

Recently, I noticed a Japanese place show up on my radar that's located in a mini mall along the busy Burnaby/New Westminster border. From past experience, most of these places are just your run-of-the-mill quick sushi places that are nothing to write home about. So I was actually pleasantly surprised by the variety of Japanese fare that FusionCore serves up. First off, this place is quite small and strictly take-out. But that doesn't mean that they don't have quality ingredients. I ordered their Aburi Oshi Salmon ($10.50) with torched salmon with jalapeno and special house sauce as well as a piece of Fatty Tuna Belly Nigiri and Fatty Salmon Belly Nigiri ($2.50 each). Just look at that fatty salmon belly... mmmm! On this visit, I didn't think the nigiri was as tender as I expected but it was still pretty good. Aburi oshi sushi is a pretty trendy item in Vancouver right now and this was pretty spot on. Definitely going to try some of their other versions in the future. I came back a few days later to try their Assorted Nigiri ($14.95) which included octopus, fatty salmon belly, salmon, tuna, wild salmon, scallop, surf clam, and fatty tuna nigiri. I think their menu actually said that it should have included tai instead of hokkigai but the surf clam actually was pretty good. This time, the fatty salmon belly and fatty tuna belly were more melt-in-your-mouth. But my favourite of the bunch has to be the hotate... the scallop was so tender and buttery. On my next visit, I tried their Aburi Oshi Scallop ($10.50) with capelin roe and avocado... a nice and creamy version. I liked their Chicken Karaage ($6.95) which had a perfectly crispy exterior with juicy boneless chicken meat on the inside. I finally tried one of their sushi rolls with a classic BC Roll ($5). A relatively cheap price for a filling roll. If I were to nitpick, I'd say that there was a bit too much rice in the roll for my liking but it wasn't too bad. I also added a couple of pieces of Salmon Belly Nigiri and Hamachi Nigiri ($2.50 per piece) and I've got to say that their nigiri is pretty spot on. The one item that I found a bit lacking was the Pork Cutlet Curry ($12.50) that I tried in November. Now, part of this is probably because curry doesn't travel well in take-out containers. Since they didn't keep the curry sauce separate, it was soaked up in the rice by the time I ate it. Also, the pork cutlet wasn't as crisp on the outside as I'd like it to be (again, probably due to the nature of having this as take-out). Also, I felt the pork itself was a bit on the chewy side. Overall, I've pretty impressed with the sushi and sashimi quality here and it's a great take-out option in the area. read more

I placed an order from their website based on all the positive yelp reviews. Average to way below average sushi. Please note the tempura California roll is a horrible deep fried grease of a mess. I assume it was a prawn tempera added to the California roll. NOPE it's completely summered in oil deep fried. They should really have explained that. Gross inedible. Scallop roll had no flavour and all rice. Completely disappointed! Spicy tuna and Salmon roll. Not spicy at all, complete fillers with tempera batter. 65% batter to fish. Utterly and completely disappointed! All the other rolls average to below. My daughter said T&T sushi is better by a landslide. I'm convinced all the positive reviews are fake and by family or friends. They can't be real. I would never ever order from this place again. read more

This place is amazing. Period. Ever since it popped up on Skip The Dishes, I decided to give it a try. Best decision EVER! Now, I only order from here. Their AburiOshi Salmon + Ebi AburiOshi is reasonably priced and it's made perfect. Presentation, portion, texture, and taste is on point. Their Takoyaki, Tempura, Spicy salmon and Spicy Tuna roll is Simply delicious. And I ordered their Tofu Teriyaki and let's just say... I was impressed. I really hope this place remains consistent with their food preparation because, it's just THAT delicious and I would hate for anything to change. Please don't change! Side note: I probably order from here 2-3 times a week. Give this place a shot, it's worth it. read more

Its not often I leave reviews but so happy to discover this hidden gem in my neighbourhood. I tried placing an online order for 4 pieces of uni but they called immediately letting me know they ran out. Was a bit disappointed at first but then got pleasantly surprised at pick up that they ended up tagging on what's left to make 1 uni nirigi to my order for free! Very friendly staff and the Salmontain roll is also delicious. Great for spicy lovers. Needless to say, I'm a happy customer and will be back for sure! read more

Very slow service. Placed a take out order and was told it would be 20 min. Then rec'd a message it would be 40 min. I showed up 60 min later and they still haven't started the order saying it will be another 10-15 min. Poor planning or organization. We will not come back here. read more
