Fusia, Kawaiian Cafe, and the Marketplace at Asian Village, Downtown Detroit

09.06.07 | technician | In restaurant, downtown, riverfront, asia, bubble tea

It’s a complete contrast to the bustling Marketplace in Detroit’s new Asian Village, where the crowd enjoys Asian street food just a few strides away.

Those few strides take diners beyond lettuce wraps and fried rice to the land of Fusia, where a French/Japanese sensibility combines the cultures beautifully.

Kawaiian Cafe, an artisan coffee/organic tea shop that also sells appropriate accessories and handmade chocolate truffles.

The Marketplace, serving freshly made Asian street food, typified by grilled lemongrass tofu, Vietnamese noodle salad and Indonesian fried rice, dispensed at several stations, as well as ready-to-go sandwiches and salads for the lunchtime crowd.

Sushi station overseen by Deka Koshizawa, the father of executive chef David Koshizawa, serving makisushi (wrapped in dried seaweed), futomaki (sushi rolls) and nigirisushi (hand-pressed).

Fusia is the upscale restaurant where you’ll find all sorts of asian fusion cuisine. Kawaiian Cafe is a coffee shop which specializes in teas including bubble tea. The Marketplace is like a market of food stalls or hawker stands like you’d find all over asia, set up like Marche in Toronto.
