chill gelato * fusa * red 8 chinese

mostly good but not red 8. had a coupon so i stopped in to give this place a try today. my chicken teriyaki rice bowl was very good. the chicken was allwhitemeat and freshly prepared. it was accompanied by steamedwhiterice (brown is also an option), slicedwhiteonions and coined zucchini. i also tried some sushi and some of the red 8 items. the sushi was tasty and fresh but nothing to write home about. better quality than local food markets but there are too many other options in the area if you are looking for a quality sushi meal. to their credit sushi is not what fusa touts as its specialty. now on to the red 8 chinese food. simply put, it was nothing short of putrid. i could only muster two bites of each dish i ordered. the food had obviously been sitting in a serving tray under a heat lamp for quite some time. several hours at least. the meats were shoe leather tough, the veggies soggy and the battered items more closely resembled rocks than food. the flavors of everything were either ketchup disguised as sweet and sour sauce, or your typical brown sauce, which is usually soy-based. the kung pao had no heat whatsoever and no kung pao flavor. same for the beef broccoli. both dishes tasted identical, which is to say "bad". overall i give this place 4 stars out of 10. i doubt i will return. other than these things the restaurant was nice and clean, with a friendly staff. prices were very reasonable, almost all items $8 or under.

fusa has moved from the towne east food court to 303 s. greenwhich. the owner also brought in a red 8 chinese franchise, and she bought the equipment, brand, and recipes for chill gelato, formerly at the waterfront (13th & webb). this makes for a destination where a family can go and one member have american hamburger or a salad, while other family members enjoy a fusion of asian flavours - stir fry, teriyaki, sushi, noodles, as well as latin flavors like quesadillas & burritos. brown steamed rice is available as well aswhitesteamed rice. for dessert, gelato and frozen yogurt are available, as well as espresso. our family really enjoyed eating here!
