What People Are Saying About Zip Fusion
The Editor

In Short – The candlelit main room and sushi bar feel more like a gallery than traditional dining area. The artsy ambience extends through a maze of side rooms, including the Style Lounge, where bands and multimedia performers offer live entertainment on weekends. The kitchen serves Japanese favorites with a California twist, like the fusion bowl, a sizzling dish of rice and vegetables topped with beef, seafood or tofu. Specialty rolls, tempura, soups and salads round out the menu.

Albo-cado - WOW!
by kuwood at Citysearch
I went to Zip Fusion for a business lunch and the place, food and service was so good that business quickly turned into pure fun! Zip is an upbeat place with great food and the service was perfect. I would recommend it to anyone who is in the downtown area. I have even pledged to make it a point to take my wife back for dinner one evening this summer.
- Pros: Convenient, upbeat and delicious!
- Cons: Can't think of one

Lobster roll is crazy good! Friendly staff, great outside patio for a romantic dinner
by bellamusa at Citysearch
The seaweed salad is light, crunchy, and a savory mix of ingredients that you don't stop enjoying until you swallow. The lobster roll is huge and very yummy with scallions and served on top of a CA roll. Spicy tuna can unclog any sinus! The staff is friendly and they remember you. We have been going about 3-5 times a month and every time we go they bring out a new complimentary appetizer and dessert. It has a lovely patio where you can dine and feel private and relaxed. This is a hidden gem!
- Pros: Affordable inventive and delicious sushie rolls, with great service andambience to boot!
- Cons: NONE!! Seriously

Fusion at its most not very impressive, misleading as to discounts for happy hour
by wandernn1 at Citysearch
Went to this place last Friday night, early so as to partake of the 'discounted menu selections'. Well as this goes, happy hour didn't make me very happy. Discounts only applied to certain appetizers and only the draft beer. So bottled beer was regular price, as was any sushi or entree and surprisingly, not even a discount on the hot sake. The service from the hostess with the drinks and appetizers was attentive and courteous. However, the sushi guys were too busy crafting hordes of premade roll-bases for later maybe when the place gets busier, or maybe it was for some large crowd of people that were invisible to my untrained eye. They were slow on our orders and even forgot to make a couple of pieces. Be that as it may, the appetizers were good but kinda pricey and small. The sushi was not as good as many of the other sushi places in the surrounding area. It was alright, but since this place is in an area where good sushi might be just in the place next door to the one you're in, I would check that place next door out instead.
- Pros: Seating and Service for drinks was good.
- Cons: Not the best value in the area.
