At FUSIAN (1200 Brown Street). My daughters and grandkids and I all love sushi. My wife not so much. So, when she’s away I sometimes have lunch at FUSIAN.
I also like supporting local entrepreneurs. The company was founded by three childhood friends who attended Harman Elementary School in Oakwood. The trio launched their first FUSIAN restaurant in Cincinnati in May 2010. In October 2011, they opened their first Dayton area location on Brown Street near the University of Dayton, close to their hometown.
FUSIAN offers build-your-own sushi rolls and bowls, sort of a Chipotle-like approach. It’s great for people who don’t eat sushi often, because you can get advice from the person making your sushi roll. I often order one of their signature items, like the spicy tuna. Then, as the roll is being assembled I ask, “If this was your lunch, what else would you add to make it special?” That’s lead me to some good combinations I wouldn’t have tried otherwise.
