Editorial Review for Fuse – by Amanda Howe
In Short
This sleek 75-seat restaurant boasts three levels and a 10,000-square-foot patio with bamboo water garden. The industrial decor's concrete floors, metal chairs and railings mix with Asian touches like bamboo place mats and stone figurines. The menu blends Texas bravado with Asian flavors in dishes with such macho names as hot and sour shooters. The five-spice duck breast features a tangy blend of Asian herbs while the roasted cashew chicken is milder.

We had reservations at Fuse tonight for 14 at 8:30. Our entire party was at the restaurant by 8:20. We were bumped by another table of 14 out of an inside table and seated on the patio ( in the Texas heat) at 9:05. After placing our orders we were informed that the kitchen was backed up and our meals would be delayed. We complained to management about our problems (so far) with our visit, and were informed that we should have known better than to make a reservation for 14, at 8:30, on a Saturday night. Our food finally started arriving at about 10pm. The volcano roll was quite bland, and the scallops were overcooked. The downtown roll had the faintest hint of soap (yuck). The Fuse roll is an obvious rip off of the Julie roll at Blue Fish (which is SO much better). The tornado roll is quite bland, and while the Thai roll was the best of what I ordered, the banana overpowers all of the other flavors. All of the rolls were poorly made, and came undone when picking them up. We had a party of 18 at Nick's seafood in Addison last weekend, and had no problem getting in. We had better food, service, and a better time than this weekend. People in Dallas have too many choices for a restaurant to perform this poorly and get away with it. If you are going to spend as much as we did for dinner, I recommend that you try Perry's, Bob's, Blue Fish, The Grape, Sushi Zushi, or Abacus.
Pros: Great space, location
Cons: Average food for above average price, poor management

Went on a Saturday night, maybe that was the first mistake. Upon entering, I found the atmosphere a tad too trendy. I know they are trying to revitalize the downtown area, but it just had an air of pretentiousness that I found laughable. I ordered a mojito, which I must say I have had better at less price. Service was quick to order drinks, I will commend them for that. Ordered the edamame and calamari for appetizers. The edamame was definitely unique with a chili powder glaze which I found pleasant, the calamari was good however nothing out of the ordinary. Entree choices included the volcano roll which is basically a California roll topped with scallops and drenched in a mild spicy sauce which I thought was quite good. The spicy tuna rolls and California rolls were mediocre at best! The oddest thing about Fuse were the restrooms, I would expect an establishment such as this to have separate restrooms for male and female patrons. Fuse however has a unisex restroom which comprises of 4 stalls and 4 urinals tucked away in a corner which I found a bit awkward. The most annoying part of the night was that they had a DJ spinning repetitive techno music...if you can call it that. He reminded me of Bruce McCullough’s character from Kids in the Hall, "He's Hip, He's Cool, He's 45!" Bottom line, trendy nightspot that caters to young twenty-something singles that don't care about dropping money on overpriced mediocre meals!
Pros: Edamame and Volcano Rolls were tasty!
Cons: Everything else was mediocre!
