Pleasantly surprised to find a new Phusion Cafe location in the Uptown/University Circle area!
This is a small cafe right across the street from the Cleveland Institute of Art, serving Taiwanese-style Night Market food (I.e. popcorn chicken, fried meats and ribs, egg rolls, scallion pancakes, potstickers, etc) as well as main course dishes like noodle soups, rice bowls, and sandwiches/crepes. They also provide what seems like unlimited combos of boba - just take a look at that elegantly organized menu written on the wall!
Set up like a true night market stall, this cafe can seat around 16 people (perhaps 20 if you squish). Prices are reasonable - most noodles are less than $10, and most appetizers are less than $6. If you go for the Hakka style meats, those are about $13. There are so many things to try, so don't be shy about asking the owner for some recommendations or peeking over at what the table next to you is eating.
For starters, I recommend trying the Taiwanese popcorn chicken for a good crunch (red sauce could maybe use an extra spice kick), and the Beef Noodle soup, with a Passion Fruit Bubble Tea (+lychee jelly) to balance the savory with sweet. From there, adventure on with your taste buds!
