Global Fusion RVA — Restaurant in Richmond

My daughters and I checked out this locally owned and operated spot for lunch today based on the Google reviews. I’m going to be honest, as we walked up I said, “this is either going to be awesome because every single review is 5 stars, or these people asked their friends to write the reviews because honestly… who has ever seen a place with a perfect 5.0???” Well we went for lunch, but got a whole experience instead. We were greeted at the door by Scott, one of the amazing owners, who walked us through the menu and gave us a little back story on the fresh made food and their beverage selection. We then met the other owner, Mike, who was just was wonderful as Scott. They are seriously two of the nicest people I’ve ever met. When I told them I don’t like hotdogs, they said I needed to try one of their angus beef hotdogs. So they grilled one up and brought it to us to try. They weren’t wrong… it was a darn good dog! Then our food came out and it was fantastic! We had the tots with cheese and brisket, the Havana, and the Cape Town with brisket. Everything was delicious. Another thing they did that was just a step above every other place I’ve been is that when we told them we would be sharing, they divided the food into thirds so we all had everything on our own plates. Service, food, experience 10/10. I feel like we were treated like family. Maybe better. What more could you possibly want? We were like, “okay now we understand the reviews!” Go check this place out. Bring your friends, your neighbors, your coworkers. Tell your family. I promise you won’t regret...

First and foremost the food amazing made with love:). Now for the exceptional and not so ordinary drinks that were offered and bot did we take that offer it started with waters(for free bc he was caring) and we were ABSOLUTELY dehydrated from a day in the blazing summer sun in humility (the reals know) then he took us to a fridge and oh. My. Golly gosh the selection was extraordinarily unique and amazingly great we started with a honey lavender iced tea it was good if your into honey then we tried the hops seltzer it was refreshing and it was non alcoholic which was very good because he said we still looked dehydrated we then tried the old fashion root beer and my six-year-old grandfather would know and appreciate then steve took one sip and said “that’s the stuff😎😐” THEN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND GLORIOUS CONCOCTION OF MAGIC OF THE BEST SORT CAME OUT OF A CAN AND INTO MY TASTE BUDS AND MY PALET WHICH WOLL NEVER BE THE SAME! it was called ….. (five dots very suspenseful it’s worth the wait) deep breath get ready- friendly reminder and warning if you want to enjoy another drink the same and palette will never be the same be ready I don’t think you are I really don’t ARE YOU READY… for this GIGANTIC BREATH! The name of the soda is (for real this time) butter pecan cream soda by krümKake very limited small batch get while you still can- if you can’t it’s ok bc we did hahaha later auto bots roll out...

Leaving a review on Google AND Yelp because of how URGENT it is that people try this place.

PARTY IN YOUR MOUTH - why hadn't I heard of this place before today?!

Historically, I have been frustrated by the lack of good sandwich options in the Fan.

After seeing "Global Fusion" open up next to Goatacado on Main, and seeing stellar reviews online, my wife and I decided to give it a try and walked over for lunch today.

I ordered the Cuban and it was easily the best I've had in RVA (and trust me, I've been hunting for a good cuban for the 9+ years I've lived in the area).

The bun was super soft and slightly toasted, and filled with a generous portion of incredibly tender meat topped with what appeared to be a house-made mustard and delicious pickles. The cheese was melted into the meat and the whole thing just completely melted in my mouth.

On top of that, the owners were super friendly and seemed to really put a lot of passion into the food.

I will CERTAINLY be adding Global Fusion to my "go-to" spots for lunch. Do yourself a favor and...
