Fusion Japanese & Thai Cuisine

There is a bad vibe here. Pass it.
Maybe it was the rain that day. It was one of those bone-​cold Mississippi winter days. The kind where bodies are recovered by hunters’ aimlessly pissing and to their horror, discover remains as they spray yellow steam against the shallow grave.
Well, it was over-​priced Hibachi alright. I applaud their cunning though, they don’t even have to cook it (chop-​sue it– cut it– perform it– take it-​) in front of you. Nah, they just bring you your chopsticks and your weird tray of food presenting something that looks like Hibachi but feels like a soup kitchen. I kept waiting for that domineering lunch lady to slap the back of my head and command me to shut up and keep eating. (ok. maybe that never happened to anyone-​ever-​but I still thought about it).
I have grown tired of the «Ethnic Authentic» gimmicks. Get real. That business model assuredly lead to great fortunes and successes in the 1980s when it was partially exotic. [please see the post-​script for a small instruction on the pre-​imminence of Sushi and the fall of the Chinese Buffet.]
Fusion purports to the be authentic but it is even more desperate than its counterparts in claiming both «Japan» and «Thailand.»
Bottom line: those days of high profits are coming to a close. In American society and culture, you are becoming the new 711 convenience store. Make preparations accordingly.
Consumer: do not stop here. There is far better Hibachi and Thai in Jackson (separately).
Post Script: We are witnessing a sea-​change in the Chinese Buffet wars. They have peaked and are getting desperate now. I predict we will see 5 more great years of very cheap Chinese Buffets (they have excellent Americanized Pizza now). Enjoy it.
As the Farm to Table Nazis descend on us and await at our gates, we will remember Chinese Buffets as fondly as we remember the «Biggie» size combo at Wendy’s and the «Super-​sized» portions from our first love, Micky D’s. We are in the last days of a by-​gone era. Cheers!

We had a late lunch at Fusions for our first visit. It’s off Lakeland in what used to be a Fazoli’s on Treetops. You probably won’t see it unless you’re looking for it, but it is definitely worth trying if you like Thai food. Their menu (and name) says Japanese and Thai and their menu us divided into those sections. The menu is very large and includes fried rice, noodle bowls, bubble milk tea, and much more — there are photos of the menu in the Unilocal photo gallery. I had the Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) with shrimp for $ 12.95. It was a large dinner sized serving and very spicy at a level 2. It came with a generous portion of excellent shrimp, plus grilled carrots and green beans, broccoli, and cabbage. My son had the green curry with chicken, which was a large bowl with chicken, carrots, bamboo shoots, basil, and more. It was also delicious. We ordered the basil roll for an appetizer and it was good, but I probably wouldn’t order again unless I was eating super-​clean. It included 2 large 4 slice rolls in a spring roll wrapper filled with lettuce, thai basil, cucumber, bean sprouts, and a few shrimp, along with two dipping sauces. If you want something light and healthy, it’s a good option, but as it came out with the hot food we ended up eating only one of the rolls. Our total bill was $ 32 with tax, but that was for an appetizer two generous servings of very fresh and tasty food. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, refilling our water regularly. The owner came out to check on us, also. We will definitely go back.
BTW if you have family or friends who like sushi, I overhead many ordering the rolls. Since it’s not my favorite, this is going to be a great place I can take my college crew so they can have sushi and I can have Thai!

Great Thai food in Jackson, Ms area. We are vegetarian and they have many choice. Very few option for vegetarians in Jackson area and this is the best. Service is great.

The basil shrimp spring roll had NO detectable basil and pieces of a single shrimp in it and was NOT fresh. The hibachi chicken dinner lacked flavor. Totally forgettable dinner, save for the stomach upset.

Fusion has good food but do not go for the service! This was the second time we have tried Fusion and I ordered the MILD curry. It was so hot it would have peeled the paint off the walls. I asked the host if it was mild and he said yes, they only put one pepper in it. Granted it tasted wonderful, but took my tongue and part of my tonsils with it! I took three bites and asked it I could exchange it for something else and he said NO! I have been in other restaurants that after a few bites if you can’t eat it they will exchange it for something else, but clearly not here! I could understand if I’d eaten half of it but it was only a couple of bites. So I left it sitting on the table. We had to pay for it, but I swear we will never go back because of this. Rotten service!

Wow! Stopped in on a Sunday evening. Blown away by the quality and freshness, and the friendly and helpful waiter.
Had fresh basil rolls – the Thai basil smelled and tasted great. Had the green papaya salad – VERY hot, but also very good. Pad kee mow had good flavor and lots of fresh veggies.
Prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity. Entrees $ 10-​$ 14. Basil rolls for sharing $ 4.50. Salad appetizers $ 7 or $ 8.
Great spot for a date. Just wish they played Asian music instead of a local radio station. Five stars.

Fusion is a great choice for a change of pace. It is a casual atmosphere and very reasonably priced. Everything I’ve had has been delicious! I love spicy foods, but beware that if you order «hot» it is very spicy. Pictured is the spicy basil fried rice… very good.

Love this place! The hibachi is always good and the sushi is on point! Never disappoints. Also they have some vegan fare!

I was on a trip and found this on Unilocal.Love Thai food and eat it often. I ordered the whole snapper with hot chili sauce. Amazing! The fish was fried and cooked perfectly. Sauce was sweet, spicy and yummy. Fish was placed over veggies. Loved it. I would come back again, if it wasn’t a seven hour drive!

The best Pad Kee Mow and Thai chicken wings in Flowood. Order the same dishes just about every or every other weekend. Dishes had quality food and were consistently delicious. Friendly staff. Short wait times. Clean and beautiful restaurant. Will definitely make time to stop by for our favorite dishes when we’re back in town.

We left Mississippi two years ago and this is the place we miss the most. The pad kee Mao is the best in town. Period. Staff is always friendly. Food is always consistent. I miss this place so much. If we ever visit Jackson again we will stop by.

The food was really good but the service was really really slow it took 15 minutes before we got our drink order and probably were waiting another 40 mins for the food so I can’t give it more than two or three. I think they were shorthanded they really need to hire more people

Never got to try this place. Waited over 10 minutes for a hostess to seat me. She was so rude and not interested in my business, I walked out and went to Applebee’s across the street

Had the Thai Fried rice, Chicken Pad Thai, Spring Rolls, and Tom Ka Gai soup. Everything was well prepared and delicious. Would recommend this to anyone looking for good Thai food.

The quality of food here is amazing! I love their widespread menu. They offer curry dishes, pad Thai dishes, and sushi! All of which I’ve had and is fantastic.

It’s as close to real Thai food. Jackson area lacks the authenticity of what Southeast Asia cuisine. Pad Thai is solid, all curries are good and the best fried rice in ms! They now serving alcohol which is a must with spicy food. Also the papaya salad is good but can be kicked up a notch with the real deal fermented crab. Overall it’s a no brainer. Good shit

Great food an prices!

Really good Thai food. I wish they had beer. Pad kee mow, red curry & calamari were all great. It took a while to be seated, even though there were plenty of tables. Definitely get the Thai tea… it helps when your mouths on fire! :)

I’m going to keep my review short and sweet.
Jackson has a boat load of Americanized Chinese restaurants — but not too many authentic asian restaurants that serve a distinct cuisine.
Fusions Thai menu is solid and a breath of fresh air for the transplant northener such as myself.
In my humble opinion — I think they make THE BEST fried rice in all of Jackson! The Thai Combination fried rice is simply dee-​lishes!
They only received four stars because of the Pad Thai — theirs is pretty solid, but it doesn’t wow me.
I’m waiting on Jackson to get an additional vietnamese restaurant, a korean restaurant and I would love to see a Filipino restaurant.
But its nice to see something different and fresh in the Jackson Metro Area

I was in Jackson on business and a co-​worker told me that I absolutely had to go here for lunch, now I’m someone who is a big fan of a variety of asian styles of cuisine and so when I hear «great» and «asian fusion» in the same sentence I have some high expectations. I was pretty impressed with Fusion!
We started with calamari (mainly because I love it) and the rings were HUGE. It was so tender and so well cooked and came with the sweet/​sour asian sauce that was perfect with it. I got the pad kee mow (hot) with beef and chicken and I was in love. It had some heat to it but I probably could have gone even spicier because I love heat in asian dishes! The flavors were so rich and complex and the portions were huge, I really couldn’t believe how much food we got for what we paid!
For dessert we decided to be adventurous and got «red bean ice cream». It was so weird, and I wouldn’t get it again but it didn’t taste weird just… odd. It had a stangely sweet flavor and something about it made us keep taking bites. I wouldn’t recommend it, but I definitely recommend the calamari and the pad kee mow! MMM!!!
