About the restaurant

“La cuisine, c’est quand les choses ont le goût, de ce qu’elles sont”
Due to that Quote, only the enjoyment, taste and the aesthetic arrangement is what counts, the taste and the aesthetic arrangement count. A fixed menu is like an invitation to dinner with good friends. And we as hosts do everything we can to create a perfectly coordinated taste experience, where everything is coordinated, harmonizes perfectly and, above all, is brought to the table fresh and of the best quality.

About the restaurant

King-Fusion – die Verschmelzung von royal und modern, vietnamesisch und chinesisch, westlich und international, komfortabel und dekorativ, gemütlich und dezent, heimelig und elegant. In den Abendstunden bieten wir Tanz, Lounge-Musik, Cocktails und unsere gewohnt köstliche asiatische Fusions-Küche. An der Bar mixt für Dich der Top-Barkeeper Cocktailklassiker und trendige asiatische Mixkreationen. So viel Asien, so viel Internationalität – was wäre da besser als eine Verschmelzung ihrer ähnlichen und doch unterschiedlichen Strömungen, ihrer Erfahrung, ihres Know-Hows und ihrer Kochkünste? Gesagt, getan… Jetzt musste nur noch ein passender Name gefunden werden. Auch hier wurde „fusioniert“: Aus Kim und Long wird „King Fusion“.

Amazing food: in a town, and neighborhood, world-famous for first-rate Asian and in particular Japanese cuisine, King Fusion stands out in a delightfully crowded field. We ordered the Wagyu beef rolls, the double-crunchy tuna rolls, the duck tortillas, the Japanese fried chicken, the honey-sesame edamame, and the scallops. The Wagyu and tuna were outstanding; the duck was so good we wish we could have ordered more; the fried chicken was memorably succulent; the edamame was both the most filling and the least expensive item we ordered. By comparison the scallops were OK, but overwhelmed by the other choices. We left far, far too full for dessert! I had a mocktail and my wife had a cocktail and both were delicious. The sparkling water we ordered on sitting down was also welcome, as the food was very rich and--typical for Japanese food--quite salty. Service was solicitous and friendly. The restaurant as a whole was fairly empty, perhaps since we went there on Mother's Day at supper time and most people had probably already gone out for brunch. The decor in the restaurant was elegant and inviting, although tables as well as plates were small. We were pleased that they accepted credit cards because the bill for these half-dozen small plates was...not cheap!!!!! In sum, King Fusion is a very special restaurant for very special occasions, such as Mother's Day, and although we would not be able to afford it for "everyday" dining out, we were glad and grateful to make an exception for a day such as today. And we'll be happy to go back the next time someone else is able to pick up the tab!!
