fusionista

great venue for hosting a party because of the open space for dancing, outside area for socializing and great food and service. i have not visted the restuarant area before but will be considering it the next time i am in the mood forsushiand more.

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 at fusionista was 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 thesushidoughnut. 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 ofsushibut 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.

this is a beautiful place to visit especially for a romantic dinner date, the setting is just surreal. they also have a spa side, so one could grab a quick meal after a spa treatment. enjoyed theirsushiplatter.

lots of variety of food. but have waited an hour and a half forsushiplatters to be made on a friday night. surely they should be more prepared? staff needs to be more attentive.

another good meal. tried thesushithis time which was super.sushicome with unique sauces adding to the experience. peaceful ambiance. really enjoyable experience

what a venue, what a menu...perfection from when we walked in. we were met with warm greetings and excellent service and the visit just got better and better. the food is decadent and delicious. i highly recommend thesushiand awesome cocktails - perfect for this heatwave. keep it up fusionista!

what an awesome place. good food, good vibe and so much to choose from. we had thesushi- wow. now we have to come back to try the rest of the menu. well priced, well done fusionista.

walking into fusionista on 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 andsushirice. 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, fusionista rainbow rolls (in berry flavour).. i absolutely loved the caviar creations and sashimi skewers!!
