fusionista

06/04/2017 - we decided to stop and grab a bite to eat as the traffic in randburg was hectic and i didn't particularly feel like making supper after spending 2 hours in traffic. the service atfusionistawas absolutely fantastic. our waiter was friendly and on the ball. we had been seated and had our drinks brought to us within minutes. the menu is massive as they specialise in a variety of asian cuisines, which makes it quite difficult deciding what to order.. without skipping a beat our waiter told us about the specials and one of them was the sushi doughnut. i'd seen this on facebook & knew i had to try it.
i must add that i'm not an adventurous eater or a big fan of sushi but the idea of trying an overseas trend got the better of me and i ordered it. it looked so pretty and colourful & i dove right it (not before taking a few allergex to counteract my seafood allergy) it wasn't bad.. but it wasn't that great either, it was a bit bland and hard to chew.however i might not be the best judge as i said i don't particularly like raw fish.for mains we ordered the angry duck & the chicken pad thai (without the shrimp) which was absolutely delicious. overall the restaurant was neat, warm and inviting. i will definitely be back.

on my birthday after our spa treatment atfusionistaspa we were treated to free meals from a selected menu. has a private dining area with a fish tank right at one of the tables. the outside area is enclosed with trees and beautiful. if you sitting outside and cold you can make use of the poncho or have the heater on. there are loads to choose from the menu, also have a totally separate menu just for vegetarians. cocktails looked really lekker.

free wi-fi

the food was good and the service was great. i was treated to free dessert and a gift which was a surprise.

thanksfusionistafor a memorable birthday dinner, will definitely be back.

fusionista delights in so many ways.

who knew that there is an oasis of both great food and relaxation hidden in the heart of the busyness of randburg.

fusionista spa is reminiscent of a tropical getaway that offers a host of never before seem massage treatments and, true to its name, an array of fusion dishes.

our experience began with an introduction tofusionistaby owner david smith and spa manager jackie. after our welcome drink and customary foot wash and massage, we were led to the koi mist room. the only one of it's kind in sa, it's a massage experience like none i'd had before.

suspended above a beautiful outdoor koi pond, the room is a haven of tranquility. as the light changes from daytime to evening, a light mist cools the air. we enjoyed a full body massage whilst watching the koi swim below us.

after this unique experience, we enjoyed a top class dinner of dragon roll sushi, salmon teriyaki, chicken curry and rounded off by chocolate cigars and don pedros.

fusionista is really the full package. make sure you clear your schedule when visiting because an hour or two just ain't enough.

the menu is absolutely huge, with options from every oriental cuisine you can think of. the food was good and service was friendly. we had an awesome evening with our friends and i can confidently recommendfusionistafor a delicious meal.

the global search for extraordinary asian fusion cuisine ends in joburg!

my love affair with asian food began almost 40 years ago. in my home town of toronto, canada, we are blessed with an abundance of amazing asian restaurants from many nationalities and i have asian food almost every day. my business trips in the past few decades have taken me on many occasions to china, hong kong, singapore, thailand, taiwan, japan, philippines, and i have eaten everything from street food to the top restaurants in these countries.

against that backdrop, what a joy it was to dine atfusionistalast night. finally, an asian fusion restaurant that has it all! a thoughtfully curated menu that brings together a marvelous blend of the best each country has to offer, with a creative twist, all executed to perfection. fusionistashould receive global recognition for what these guys have created. awesome service too!

i wanted to have some asian cuisine with a twist andfusionistadefinitely delivered that!

as you walk up to the restaurant, they have a beautifully lit up fountain that greets you. this restaurant is polychromatic in every sense of the word. it kind of reminded me of avatar in a small way. every inch of the restaurant is lit up in a different colour. it is a modern restaurant with an asian flair. this restaurant creates quite the sensory experience.

as you sit down, they bring out prawn chips to snack on as you enjoy your drinks. naturally, i went with a colourful cocktail to match the decor and lighting.

we decided to start off with some sushi. it was reasonably priced and prepared to perfection. they used the freshest salmon.

in terms of my main, i ordered sweet and sour kingklip with rice. the fish was divine. it was extremely succulent. however, the dish itself was rather sweet. i love sweet food but this was even too sweet for my liking.

my other half ordered a beef dish and he seemed to find it on the bland side. the sauce itself had minimal seasoning.

all in all, the food was tasty, but i have had better. in terms of experience and atmosphere, this restaurant is a winner there! i definitely recommend that you come here at night.

mu husband and i were absolutely delighted with fusionista. the staff are attentive and the food is absolutely delicious.  i am a fussy vegetarian and i was  more than impressed with the vegetarian dishes that i ordered and my husband could not stop raving about his sweet sticky pork ribs. the complimentary neck and shoulder massage was most welcome. we will definitely return tofusionistato sample their various other dishes and to experience the luxury spa treatments.

amazing ambience , scrumptious food made to perfection and served in different varieties. friendly and efficient staff who know there menu also reasonable prices . restaurant setting is harmonious and welcoming . enjoyed a great meal and had a fabulous evening atfusionistaon rabie road
what a place !!!

walking intofusionistaon friday night was like walking into another world.. literally. i felt like i was taking a journey into east asia and found it incredibly difficult to remind myself that i was in fact in randburg. 

david smith and his team absolutely stunned me on friday night with their hospitality, service and sheer variety of cuisines on offer.. certainly some of the most unusual food that i have had the opportunity to eat in quite some time. 

onto their comprehensive and varied menu showcasing everything from cambodia, vietnam, laos, japan, china, malaysia, thailand, singapore and last but not least the philippines as what can only be shortened into 'eastern cuisine' as a genre. 

this is a restaurant that specialises in uniqueness and almost everything can be tailor-made to suite your specific needs or tastes, which i like. for example, for gluten-intolerant there is cauliflower rice. for vegetarians, almost every dish on the menu can be made strictly vegetarian. 

we ordered and settled in with our glass of wine, only to be told that whilst you wait for your food you can actually have a full head, neck and back massage at the table.. bliss after a long and stressful week at the office. 

to start i selected the:
laotian prawn cakes with coriander, lime, ginger and peppers served with a mild orange zest dipping sauce. this starter was a little dry and my least favourite of the starters. 
tuna & salmon sashimi salad with avocado, wasabi, ginger, japanese mayonnaise and honey on a bed of butter lettuce and sushi rice. i found the honey a little too sweet for me but the rest of this salad was pure heaven (and healthy to boot). this dish is served with an additional ponzu sauce, string beetroot & cucumber topping.
and last but not least:
chinese fusion dim sum in prawn, chicken, beef & vegetable. steamed and served with a sweet & sour herb sauce.

from there it was onto a combination of two dishes from the japanese range for mains:
salmon teriyaki, lightly seared salmon fillet glazed with teriyaki sauce served with pickles, a rice slaw made with spring onion, carrot, cucumber & japanese mayonnaise. what a perfect dish!!
andfusionista specialty unique platter for one comprised of pickled herring square nigiri (ma guru), caviar creations cocktail tomatoes, sashimi skewers served with granadilla jus,fusionistarainbow rolls (in berry flavour).. i absolutely loved the caviar creations and sashimi skewers!!

you have to love the unexpected. this wasfusionistafor me. it has a huge extensive menu of eastern cuisine. from cambodia, vietnam, thailand, japenese to chinese and dare i say etc.
the cambodian beef curry is lingering on my tongue. what a taste experience!
they have a very extensive cocktail menu too. try the 'darth vader' cocktail, which is all black. only for the brave. consisting of black vodka & black
sambuca (only a part of the ingredients), this is a must for liquorice lovers.
let me know your experience @ fusionista. this menu is too extensive to try all once!

atfusionistarandburg. everything was awesome from starters to dessert. the service was exceptional as was the attention to detail on every course. sat near the fish tank. which is still our favourite place to entertain our son. the owner is attentive and friendly. can't wait to be back to try all the other menu options. we will be back a few times 😉
