They were the perfect size, not small like some other places because it's a lunch special. I ordered spicy tuna, eel avocado, and shrimp tempura and the choice of soup. I would have loved if it included a salad with the soup to add freshness to the meal. I was left missing something at the end. My negative comments are I was missing my spoon for my soup and the two packets of soy sauce were consumed before finishing my meal. I was left eating my last four to five bites dry. If there was a salad, I would have ended my meal feeling more satisfied. Compared to my other favorite sushi place who offers soup, salad and 2oz container of soy sauce. I would need to keep this in mind next time I order from Mountain Fusion. I'm giving a five stars for freshness and three and half stars for the missing accoutrements that would have enhanced my overall dining experience.

Honestly one of the best unknowns I've ever picked. Needed some food after a day of shopping and…read moremost things were already closed, so went a little out of our way to get some food. The place is a simpler local eatery, so decor wasn't exactly a designed by some of the best New York interior decorators, but it was pleasant and very calm. The food is a fusion of various Asian cuisines but it is picked very well and cooked to perfection. Kids loved the Baos and Ramen which is probably one of the best indicators of the quality. From what I can tell it is family owned and run, so service may be a little slower than most similar places but it is definitely attentive and friendlier then most.

I'm rather loathe to leave such a low rating, but this is a type of food I'm pretty enthused about…read moreand this place just completely underwhelmed me. I ordered a number of skewers, including shrimp, king mushroom, chicken thigh, steak, the requisite pork. The skewers weee on the small side and just lacked seasoning and flavor. This type of kushiyaki type of food has subtle flavors and relies on top quality ingredients over binchotan. I just got none of it - mute flavors, no smokiness, poor seasoning. To be clear, it's not bad, it just didn't live up to my expectations when compared to a Manhattan izakaya or yakitori joint. Service was fine, but I was disappointed when we asked for a pork cutlet with curry sauce over rice for the little ones, bit minus the curry sauce and it was a rather big deal. Just make the dish and leave it off!

Cucumber, lime, lemon, orange and strawberry. Do cool! For the appetizer we had the pork belly bao buns, lamb chops and fried calamari.

I got a call from the restaurant 2.5 hrs. prior to my reservation time, telling me that there is a conflict, they have a party booked for that room tonight so we couldn't use the party room. When I questioned how that was possible since I booked the room over 3 weeks in advance, I was told that the person who booked my dinner was unaware that they were in negotiations with this other party, that they hadn't received a down payment yet from them and that was why it wasn't in the computer. I was told that this was a $120/head party with open bar. I found the entire story to be sketchy and difficult to believe. Because it was so close to the time of our group's dinner, I had no choice but to allow them to set us up at a table in the middle of the restaurant. While they did a nice job setting up the table with tablecloths and making it nice, this did not meet the needs of our group at all. This is a group that meets monthly and who like to socialize with each other after dinner, change seats around and chat with each other. Being in the middle of the restaurant it was impossible for us to do this. The party room would have been perfect. The restaurant closed at 10 pm the day we were there. I left at 8pm and there was still no one in the party room, so I feel the story given to me was made up and there was no big party being held in that room on that evening. They likely did not want to use that space, perhaps staffing or some other reason. I would have preferred to be told the truth; it would have sat much better with me than the story I was told. I also did not believe that they had the possibility of a big party and it wasn't in the computer for the staff to be aware that the room would possibly be occupied that night. The food was good, although two of our group said their dish was cold. Sushi was fresh. Service was good, staff was attentive. I am definitely never going to use this restaurant again to book our group dinner, but I might go again for a lunch or possibly a dinner with just a couple of other people. I'm very disappointed in how they changed my reservation at the last minute, and the party room remained empty the entire evening.

And they even forgot my soda as the guy came and was worried more about getting a tip for bringing everything incorrect. They seems to have an I don't care type of atmosphere in the store amongst all the workers I would never order from here again. In fact I've gotten rid of all their menus from my job.

This restaurant has tables and chairs, but they don't know whether they want to be a dine in or takeout restaurant with the chairs on top of the tables. We noticed 2 men eating there, so we decided to as well. It was a good thing we took paper towels and hand sanitizer to clean the table, because the amount of dirt discovered was beyond disgusting. When shown to one of the workers, she shrugged and said "that's why people don't sit down and eat." Wow. Fortunately, the steak and shrimp taco bowls lived up to expectations, and the portion size was enough for 2 meals.

Why they named it after a German blimp is beyond me. Now after the 2015 renovation and renaming of the food court to the Dining District, many new food offerings were added to many of the original food purveyors. Some of the old ones we've always ordered from like Charley's Cheesesteaks, Wendy's and Sarku Japan have been carried over with completely new stalls. Meanwhile, many new food options like Wahlburgers, Taste of India and Chick-Fil-A, among others have been added. I do miss the old Ben's Deli with their split pea soup & pastrami sandwiches and Johnny Rockets with their diner burgers though. Holdovers like Asian Chow and Sarku still go around passing out samples of teriyaki chicken and bourbon chicken on toothpicks just like the old days. Our favorite from back then until now has always been Sarku with their teppanyaki grilled teriyaki chicken over rice. They know how to rope you in after you try a sample. Whether you're shopping in the mall or catching a movie and you get the hangry pangs, you hustle on over to the Dining District. They will have what you crave!

I hope these issues can be worked out in the meantime be aware that the district is still a bit of a work in progress.
