FUSIAN — Restaurant in Toledo

i worked at FUSIAN back on 2018 when they first opened, so i know how things operate, for the most part. i doordashed an order because i was at work and didn't have the chance to run to pick it up myself. ordered a pb&j roll and the mango sticky rice. roll was fine, they do a poor job cutting it (hand slicing rolls was my specialty, and favorite thing to do, back then), but that's neither here nor there, because i know the soy wraps are a pain. my issue is with the mango sticky rice. i've ordered the pineapple version before and was very satisfied with it, but this time around, i was unable to eat it after one bite. the mango has clearly been sitting out and while and, when i smelled it, it smelled like fish: this tells me that there's a storage issue. meat products and produce should never be stored in the same area, especially raw, such as the fish served at this restaurant. when i worked there in 2018, fish and meat would be stored in one cooler, produce in the other. clearly not the case. i scraped off the mango and tried the rice by itself: rice was okay, but a little too sweet, they added too much coconut milk, or maybe they didn't add any sushi vinegar to the rice they had prepared. whatever the case, i'm not happy for paying over 6 dollars for vegan food that tastes and smells like raw fish, and doesn't look fresh either. my partner is allergic to mango, so i was really hoping i could enjoy this dish at work without fear of triggering her allergy. sad to see that management was bad in 2018 (the reason i quit in the first place) and is still bad in 2023. food should be prepared and stored...

I ended up here because I missed lunch at my usual sushi joint. My friend recommended Fusian to me and promised that it would be worth making the trip to that part of town. I hate the traffic in that area and usually try to avoid it at all costs.

The first thing that I noticed was pop music blaring from an outdoor speaker and there were some corn hole boards near the door. I was slightly confused, was I going to get sushi or did I end up in a college bar?

I walked in and was assaulted by loud music. The decor was really simple and best described as hygienic utilitarian. I looked at the selection and was disappointed that the sushi was limited to rolls. To be fair this was not the fault of Fusian.

After deciding on a roll and a bowl. I placed my order. Everyone that worked here was pretty friendly. The food was extremely simple and fresh. The presentation was nice and although it's not a traditional sushi restaraunt presentation is huge in sushi.

I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the food. I did not enjoy the loud music, at all. I will definitely eat here again. As the old saying goes, "if it's too loud then you're too old, unless delicious food is involved." Fusian is a great place. It's fresh and economical. I wholeheartedly recommend...

Upon entry into FUSIAN restaurant, I was greeted by a dapper young fellow who asked to be called by the name of Adam (my consort insisted on Eugene Shapor, and he was very kind about it). He led us to our table, his feet swift and light as a jackolope wearing silk slippers on a moonlit night over a pond. [End paragraph]

Adam (Eugene Shapor) was kind, humble, intrepid, benevolent, sprightly, commandeering, and shimmering with understanding. Not only did he take our orders with a grace unexpected of a mere human, but he delivered our food to the table with conviction I thought long dead. Any Queen or Pharaoh would have been honored to be served by such a wholesome lad. [End paragraph]

When I insisted that he must be no older than 14 years of age, he took the compliment with grace and a flavorful chuckle. I can almost taste that chuckle in my nostrils as I write this. My nose hairs shall be forever tingling. [End paragraph]

In conclusion, my venerable respect for this restaurant is rooted in the deep belief in the server Adam and the power he wields to do only good for the food service industry. I will not be surprised to see him running for president, or some American office even more lofty, once...
