4 reviews for Fushia Asian Bistro
This restaurant has a really diverse menu, you can pretty much have anything you are craving, most of the taste feels home-cooked, you won't get that mall taste here. I would say Yummy House shares properties with the food at this place. Take a few friends and get a table for lunch because there lunch prices are very good, dinner is still reasonable, but you could totally go all out during lunch here. We had a variety of things at our table such as Orange Chicken, Lazy Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Spring Rolls, Miso Soup, Hot & Sour Soup, Tofu dish, and more, it was truly a feast, split between 8 friends we only spent about $10 with plenty of food that we still could not finish between us.
The employees were friendly and service was quick, food came before you knew it. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant, with ancient Chinese writing (so says my friend) on the walls and an overall Asian feel to it.
My husband has a thing about Asian restaurants calling themselves "bistros". One look at their menu convinced him that it was worth making an exception, and actually going there confirmed the decision.
WOW. Unless you're the unadventurous eater going along with the culinary explorer, forget the standard English menu. Make sure you get the Chinese menu. They have dishes simply called "stomach" as well as fried pork tripe. Even if you aren't into innards, you know it's the sign of a Chinese restaurant that goes beyond "restaurant-in-a-box".
We got the salt & pepper pork ribs and the eggplant hotpot, because after a week of too-much-standard-American-fried-fare, we wanted a taste of home. Yum!
We'll be back in Tampa in a month, and they'll be one of our first stops. This time, they had a waitress who had spent many years in Japan, which was a treat for me - getting to talk Chinese food in Japanese was an unexpected bonus.
Oh, and the decor was nice, too.
Anyway. Go. It's worth the drive, and if you're the gonzo eater saddled with "I just want my own plate of chicken chow mein" friends, you'll all have a good time.
Although they specialize in dim-sum, the menu is quite large and is mostly Chinese based. The lunch special is a three course affair with quite a few combinations available. The ingredients are fresh and the vegetables are not overcooked like most Chinese food places do. The fried shrimp ball dim-sum is great.
Service is friendly, prompt and efficient. The atmosphere, while vibrant, is not tacky. The restaurant is on the small side, but each booth is nicely separated so you never feel cramped.
Lunch prices are insanely low.
Chinese and Korean menu is available. I had the eggplant pot. Excellent.
Plenty of food for the $$. The sea weed salad for an appetizer was yummy.
It is small,but has room in the back for small gatherings.
The staff was so friendly.
