Fu-Shing

  • Restaurant: Fu-Shing, Chinese Szechwan Restaurant
  • Location: 2960 East Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA
  • Atmosphere: Quiet. Not Loud!
  • Bathroom: Above Average.
  • Date of visit: August 2007
  • Website: http://www.fu-shing.com/



Fu-Shing is a real oddball in the Chinese restaurant landscape; a quiet, yet authentic Chinese restaurant. They offer Szechwan cuisine and offer plenty of seafood options.

Sorry for the lack of pictures, but I was at Fu-Shing with some special guests for the Chinese version of a tasting menu.

Cold appetizer was the first course. Followed by salt and pepper crab, peking duck, lobster in garlic sauce, stir-fried black cod, stir-fried sea cumbers, stir-fried halibut, and a stir-fried mystery meat dish. The meal ended with a sticky rice dessert.

Service was top notch for a Chinese restaurant. The servers were attentive, refilled our drinks, changed out our plates, and were very accommodating. No, they were not friendly, talkative, or explained the dishes, but this is a Chinese restaurant. The atmosphere was even more surprising. Quiet, spacious, and clanks of dishes were at a minimum.

The food was above average. The dishes didn’t surprise me but they were classic dishes made from fresh products that were properly executed.

I would return to Fu-Shing.
