New Menu @ Fuse looking to serve major deliciousness

I just received word that Fuse is revamping their menu and does it sound amazing. I have to admit, I’ve yet to try the Tex-Asian fusion bit but after reading what’s about to go down, I think I may have to drag the BF and head over their quickly like. Not only are Exec Chef Robbie Lewis and restaurateur Russell Hayward (Tom Tom Asian Grill, TABC) revamping the menu with some sassy new items, they are giving the entire restaurant a makeover starting this month and have it all spiffy just in time for the holiday season.

But really, we just care about the food and listen to this:

Chef Robbie, a one-year veteran of the Tex-Asian concept, enhanced the menu creating new dishes and maintaining favorites.  The new “Casual” Dining section includes affordable entrees priced between $13 to $16, such as the Hibachi Chicken Pad Thai and Ancho-Honey Pork served with ”daily mashers” and soy BBQ sauce.  New entrée highlights include the Ginger-Sake Salmon with traditional spicy cucumber salad, scallion, and cous cous and Miso Lobster with parmesan risotto, Texas sweet corn and white miso broth. 

A diverse array of starters tempts the tastebuds including Spicy Fuse Popcorn, Tex-Asian Chips dusted with nori and salsa roja, Tortilla Fried Avocado and Braised Brisket Potstickers.  Sushi and sashimi arrives in classic style or with a contemporary twist, such as the signature Fuse Roll made with Snow Crab, salmon, asparagus and carrot wrapped in cucumber.

Lunch, now available Monday through Friday, offers a tantalizing selection of salads, rice or noodle bowls, sandwiches, entrees and Balanced Plates, a choice of protein served with a California or tuna roll, miso soup, steamed rice and mesclun salad.  The Kobe Short Rib Bowl with garlic, broccoli, daikon sprouts, jalapeno, fried egg and hoisin sauce and Tex-Asian Sliders with cilantro aioli, soy caramelized onions and cheddar cheese are not to be missed.

After reading all that, just kill me. My mouth is watering big time. Pad Thai is one of my favorite dishes but sliders, as trendy as they are, have been sliding up my list of treats to eat. So, for sure, Fuse has just made its way back from my “meh” category of restaurants to try to the “marking the calendar now” list.

Fuse is located downtown at 1512 Commerce Street.  Lunch - Monday - Friday 11:30am until 2:30pm.  Dinner - Monday -Thursday 6 - 10pm, and Friday and Saturday 6 - 11pm.  Happy Hour  Monday -Friday from 4 - 7pm.  For reservations call  214.742.FUSE(3873).
