1618 Asian Fusion Improving Facilities

Riverside’s 1618 Asian Fusion will soon be undergoing renovations that will significantly improve the popular eatery’s dining experience.

Costing an estimated $150,000 and expected to begin in May, construction will concern the addition of a “a new, operable patio cover. Free standing, not connected to the existing building.”

“1618 Asian Fusion is a first-of-its-kind locally owned and operated family restaurant created with an exciting vision by Kevin Le and Lynn Tran. We delight in providing a culinary exploration of Asia’s diverse food landscape. 1618 Asian Fusion serves high-quality fusion and fine-casual service in a unique and thoughtfully designed space,” the official website states.

“Focusing on the bright, bold, diverse flavors of Asia, 1618’s menu spans the continent – offering diners a taste of Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Singaporean, and Southeast Asian food in our own fusion style. Boasting a calming Zen-like environment, the 6,000 square-foot space features wood elements, live greenery, and clean lines creating a minimalist, stylish dining room that exudes a comfortable yet elegant feel.”

When renovations are finished, it is inarguable that diners will be better suited to enjoy 1618’s versatile cuisine in the fresh air—without being roasted by the sun.
