Asia Fusion (Cafeteria Diner) — Restaurant in Rochester

I might be a bit hypercritical of this place, but my standards for Thai food are higher than normal only because I've eaten it my entire life. I really want to see this restaurant succeed because Rochester needs Thai food restaurants badly. This restaurant is nestled in a convenient spot that's easy to get to and access. It's not huge by any means but it's a quaint little place. The food here are true to Thai roots and while it's not the best Thai I've had, it's still a good restaurant worth stopping at. The downside to this restaurant is it is always plagued with staffing issues. I've only been here a handful of times. But each time I've been there, service was really slow. As it I sat for 30-40 minutes for a bowl of pho that should've taken 10-15 minutes to prepare with the restaurant at half capacity. My wife waited another 10-15 minutes on top of mine for her Tom Yum. This is not a good thing. The restaurant needs to reevaluate staffing especially during peak hours. One person managing the entire floor is called understaffing. If the restaurant can solve this issue it would be a great start. The second drawback is, the price vs. portion sizing In my opinion is not wonderful, this is based on several Thai places that I have visited in the past. I could understand if this was upscale gourmet Thai dining but it really isn't. This restaurant to me, comes off as a small family owned dining establishment that should give people a great value for their dollar to try out Thai cuisine but the pricing is steep for what you get. Asia fusion is a place that can be great if it can address what I think are minor drawbacks and I hope it stays. The ambiance is wonderful, the food is delicious, the location is excellent.

Well well well.... if it isn't a new pleasant discovery in Rochester! I googled dim sum Rochester and ended up in this little tucked away Asian oasis. The Asian culture always pays attention to detail, and has lovely balance of flavors in their food. This restaurant is an exceptional execution of crispy flavorful duck skin surrounding a soft warm and delightful burst of duck flavor experience like none that I've had before. Quite possibly best execution of duck I've had. Perfect millimeter of thickness on the dumplings. Very specially made in small batches and clearly fresh. Nothing was bad that I had here. No complaints of service or good and outstanding. Best in Rochester thus far for experience overall. Absolutely best value hands down. Might I add the dessert was not to disappoint and recommend not to skip this course. Crepe with green tea ice cream! It was by far fabulous! Enjoyed every minute here including the friendly people sat next to us. 100% A+++. The standard to which other restaurants in this area and including Minneapolis can stand to take note of. I don't know if I'd go so far as to say James beard quality but at a higher price of course that could be done by this chef, of that I am certain! Round of applause to all staff there. I want to add that we were both in work clothes and dirty as heck! Looking terrible both of us just beat and wanting a meal. These people did not judge verbally nor nonverbally and they were quick to greet us as well. That is so few and far...

If you’re seeking unforgettable Asian cuisine, look no further! Like many communities, Rochester has been cycling through restaurants. When I find a place my husband & I enjoy, I feel compelled to share the experience. Our recent take-out order with Asia Fusion was fantastic, highlighted by 2 stand-out dishes.

Chicken Pad Thai: The chicken pad thai is absolutely exceptional. The noodles had a subtle sweetness & were accompanied by tender, juicy strips of chicken & some vegetables. The sauce is the key element & it delivered. The flavorful sauce was sweet, salty, sour & even had a hint of spice. It was topped with crunchy peanuts, fresh scallions & just the right splash of lime. The flavors blended seamlessly.

Sesame Chicken: The bite-sized chicken was fried & tossed in their sweet & tangy glaze. All elements were balanced perfectly with no one flavor overpowering the others. Served over white rice, the garnishing of sesame seeds added a subtle, aromatic finish.

The friendly staff greeted us when we picked up our order, making an overall great experience even better.

I highly recommended Asia Fusion for anyone who enjoys Thai, Chinese &...
