"My family and I were very grateful for Jhong and his staff members Christian and Linda this weekend on our visit to 1618 Asian Fusion. Each member was very knowledge on every plate we asked about, and made great recommendations when we were not able to decide what to order The restaurant is located in a modernized quaint plaza with parking in the rear. We decided to start with the calamari, eggrolls, grilled octopus a crispy redfish. That redfish was the best fried fish I've had in my life. I have no clue how they got that crust on that fish! The crust had hints of pork on it, it was literally mind blowing. The calamari and 1618 eggrolls were fried to perfection crispy not drowning in grease. The char on the grilled octopus was perfect, and the flavor was to die for. The matcha salad was so refreshing and a great way to cleanse our pallets before our entrees were delivered. My wife ordered the fried rice, which was the best fried rice I've tasted in a while! I loved the kernels of corn in the rice. My son went with the pho with ribs after it was recommended by the staff. My son's mind was blown when he got a load of the beef ribs, and said he picked up hints of apple and cinnamon from the pho's broth. He absolutely loved it. I went with the garlic shrimp which knocked my socks off. The batter was out of this world! We ended our meals with the tallest slice of cheesecake I've ever had. Christian put on a show as he prepped the flaming brandy! The entire visit was quite an experience! This may have been our first visit, but it surely won't be our last! Thank you 1618 for the amazing lunch, we haven't stopped raving about you to all our friends and family."
