Fusion 25

Well my last review was 5 stars but honestly the quality and freshness of the sushi has gone downhill since then. I ordered tuna rolls and the tuna was not fresh. The color of the tuna was not red at all. The tuna was the same color as the yellow tail scallion rolls. Seem like the sushi is not nearly as fresh as It once was. I guess i will be heading to Danbury or Bethel next time. Interesting point that was brought up that when previous manager was there it was pure perfection.

We made a tradition of taking our children to this restaurant for their birthdays. The other family at the table tipped the chef cash and he made them balloon animals and left my small kids at the table crying wondering why they got nothing. I have never been so upset in a restaurant in my life.

One year ago it’s was a great place, since few months I’m very disappointed, the food is not as good as before
I hope they are gonna fix that !
Edit: I’ve been there since my last review and it was really good. Friendly people, good sushis and hibachi …
I will come back again for sure

GREAT HAPPY HOUR! Good service and great sushi! Ordered a boat load of food and it was under $ 60. We have been here multiple of times!

This used to be our favourite Asian restaurant. My last review was 5 stars and this one is 1. That pretty much sums up the current state of affairs here. You will see others giving it high ratings as well but obviously they have not visited the place recently.
We started noticing the decline after the very popular manager (Bo) left about a year or so ago. Even though the ambiance was gone, we kept going because the food was still the same. Service was not as good but it wasn’t bad.
Tonight we asked for hibachi and sat there for almost 20 minutes without a server asking us for our drink and appetizer order. We would have gladly waited for the table to fill up if someone came by and took our drink order. The servers ignored us and served only the tables with the hibachi cooks.
We finally just gave up and left.
We went to the other Hibachi place in Newtown where service and food was «on point». I think we are finally done with Fusion 25 and will be looking to become regulars at a different sushi restaurant.

I went here after hearing many great things about the food. Unfortunately I don’t think this place stands up to the high expectations I had.
I’d like to give Fusion 25 a 3 star review, but our waitress was so unpleasant I’m taking a star off. After reading other peoples’ reviews, I kind of wonder if it’s the same waitress they had. She wasn’t blatantly mean, but she certainly didn’t go out of her way to be friendly or helpful. She checked on us maybe once during the whole visit, and was very abrupt the whole time. Not very polite at all. So she kind of threw off the mood of the lunch for me, honestly.
The food was okay but not amazing. As an appetizer, I ordered crab rangoons which ended up being my favorite part of the meal. For my entrée I got the chicken udon, and while the noodles were very tasty, the chicken was flavorless and almost rubbery.
The one thing I will say about this restaurant is that the décor is beautiful and very classy. It’s also very spacious and would probably be fun to bring a big group of people.
I might go back if someone invited me, but I wouldn’t go here again of my own accord. There is much better Asian food with far better wait staffs in the area!

My 3 kids and husb got food poisoning from
Eating there!!! I called to let them
Know of what had happened noone called me back or bothered to check on us. Very bad experience definitely not going back and definitely would not recommend it to anyone

This place is great for lunch or dinner. I’m a vegetarian and I love the vegetable hibachi meal. At lunch there isn’t anything special except that you get a double portion of the vegetables that everyone gets. At dinner they make an effort to give you a portion of different vegetables, in addition to the regular ones. My son loves the filet mignpn. He says it’s cooked perfectly every time. The price is right, though no dessert is included, as most hibachi places do. Overall, it’s a great meal.

Fusion 25 is a favorite of our family. Although we love the hibachi, the better experience is sitting at the sushi bar and letting Jimmy make recommendations for the day. He knows his stuff and is very creative! Rosie is also a great waitress and remembers each of us when we go in. They are all attentive and care about the customers very much.
The food is always good and fresh! Thank you Fusion 25 for always taking care of us!

Ate at this restaurant a few times and has been consistently good. Tonight we ordered delivery expecting the food to not be as good, usually delivery never is. Well were we surprised. It came quickly and was fresh. It looked exactly like it would in the restaurant. It tasted just as good as well.

Great family dinner for non-​picky kids and obviously adults. I loved the Japanese soda. It is so good! Ask for that for a drink and be happy! It is a great reasturaunt.

Fusion 25 deserves five stars just for the interior design of the building, what an amazing use or space!
It’s very much new-​age Asian food, complete with a waitress who won’t help you at all and barely speaks english. We asked to see a sushi menu and she said no. Unable to get a full menu, we asked for the chef’s special roll and when it arrived we had no idea what it was. It tasted like fluke and lemon, and I’ve attached pictures here. She wouldn’t tell us what it was and my party assumed she was the daughter of the owner or something. We almost didn’t tip.
Otherwise, the fish was okay but I’ve put off a review of Fusion 25 for a long time to avoid hurting their grand opening with a mediocre review, I hope they do well especially since their hibachi looks great and their sushi was good.
I hope you give it a try yourself, and visit the wonderful butcher across the parking lot.

This restaurant has all the elements that make a spectacular night out:
1.Fresh, quality food
2. Excellent service
3. Great atmosphere
4. Consistency
In an economy like this, I don’t get to go out as often as I would like. When I do, I want to make sure it’s worth it. Fusion 25 is worth every penny and more.
I’ve been savoring the fruits of this establishment for over two years and each time is better then the last.
If you enjoy the art of sushi and want an incredible night out, you’ll find it here.

Very loud in the dining area. Slow service and were asked to leave our table after we paid, and we were sitting and talking still, so rude.

Great venue with creative menu. Sushi and hibachi equally good. Fun place with a great bar.

We had the sushi lunch and the Asian curry with beef. Unfortunately, the curry tasted like it had been reheated in a microwave oven. Hot in some places, lukewarm to cold in some. Ugh!
The sushi lunch tastes worse than Toro’s, which I already do not have a high opinion of.
So, nope, I can check this place off my list as I won’t be visiting here again. It’s a pity though as it has do much space! If only the food was good.
I can’t recommend it as a good place to eat.

Accidently wrote this review about a month ago for a similarly named restaurant in Bethel instead of this one, so here it is about the correct restaurant:
Sushi was great, and there are a lot of other great menu items. I went with one of the sushi platters. 9 – 10 pieces of sushi and a few rolls. The presentation was impressive and the fish was fresh. The restaurant itself is very fancy and modern, however, it is not intimidating at all. The staff is very friendly and attentive. My complaint is that they were out of 2 menu items that I intended to order, the oyster shooters and the dumplings. I thought that was pretty poor considering it was a Friday night. Overall this is a unique and good restaurant.

Fusion 25 offers an exceptional balance of traditional Pan-​Asian dishes and modern creations presented with masterful artistry. The Resturant is always upbeat, high energy, and festive. Credit to the designers for breaking the space up into a traditional Hibachi room, a dining area, a lounge area (perfect for snacking over drinks), a bar, and a lovely outdoor patio. The place always feels happy.
The menu is heavily Japanese influenced, beautiful to the eye, and always delicious. Sushi it the best available for miles in any direction. The chefs work hard to get to know your palate, and will often suggest items that are seasonal to the market. Always be sure to check the specials board to see what goodies they found in the markets.
The kitchen is first class as well. Apps in the lounge can’t be beat!
Hard not to have fun at Fusion 25. Just go and enjoy yourself. Prices are pretty reasonable too!

Being someone who enjoys high quality sushi, I always get a little skeptical when trying new sushi restaurants, especially fusion restaurants. Fusion 25 took me by surprise though and I thoroughly enjoyed what they had to offer.
My buddy and I walked in and were seated immediately at a table in the back near the bar, which is fully stocked mind you. The décor and lighting fit well and gave it a nice calming atmosphere. We graced over the drink and dinner menu to gain a feel of what they had to offer, which seemed fairly similar to most fusion restaurants. I’m iffy about fusion restaurants because it seems like every time I order a signature roll it comes out doused in sauce, so there’s no legitimate way to taste the individual ingredients going into the dish. However, I ordered a signature roll anyway to give it a shot.
The waitress we had was fantastic. We both ordered two Sapporo 22 oz. cans and were willing to pay the full price, but she gave it to us for the happy hour price, even after we were seated 5 minutes after the ending time. She also charged our large hot sake for a small as well. She was super nice, and just attentive enough when we needed her.
The food came out soon after. I ordered the Battera signature roll with the Beef Negimaki dinner entrée, while my buddy ordered the Fusion 25 signature roll and the Peanut Sauce with Beef dinner entrée. Everything was presented incredibly well, especially the small decorations of sauces used on both my sushi plate and entrée plate. The sushi was awesome, pretty on par with a few of my favorite sushi restaurants, and wasn’t overly sauced whatsoever. You could distinguish the flavors between the three fish pretty easily. The Beef Negimaki was amazing, that’s it. I haven’t had a good version of this dish since one of my local sushi restaurants closed down about 8 years ago. This was on point, and super nostalgic to me at the same time.
I’ll be back for more eventually. I don’t live too far from Newtown so the drive isn’t bad, but my sushi withdrawals have been fulfilled for the time being :). Highly recommend this place.

I don’t go out for sushi very often but I do enjoy it and decided to give fusion 25 a try The Decour is modern and nicely done. The restaurant has three sections, a dining room with the bar area, sushi bar with additional seating, and a hibachi area.
For dinner I had the Sushi & Sashimi Combo which I thought was tasted excellent, and was plated nicely. The waitstaff was attentive without being overly so. The prices are about average and the portions are good. Overall I thought it was a very nice experience and would definitely try it again
