July 17, 2011 By Christian Murray

A new Indian/Chinese restaurant is scheduled to open on 41st Street.

Anise Fusion, located across the street from the Butcher Block, is a joint venture put together by John Huang, from Sunnyside, and Peter Chang, from Woodside. Both men are Indian immigrants of Chinese extraction.

Anise Fusion is expected to open on July 28. It will primarily be a takeout and delivery business; however, the restaurant will have five tables for in-house dining.

The men are still working on finalizing the menu. For further details, visit www.facebook.com/anisefusion

Even if this restaurant was in “direct competition with Tangra,” I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. Competition is a usually a good thing for everyone involved, so we should welcome it, unless of course we are overrun with too many of this or that type of shop. Then again, the market usually evens that out. We have so many pharmacies, Thai restaurants, fast-food shops, already but clearly if people are shopping them.

Years ago I hear the statistic that convenience stores needs about 300 families to survive. In the suburbs you see them strategically lcoated every 4-5 miles down main thoroughfares. If we apply this statistic to densely populated urban areas like our community, it’s clear why we see so many of the same type of shop over and over- 300 families can easily be on one or two blocks!

They have their menus out in front! I picked one up. On it confirms the Grand Opening on July 28th. Some variety from the usual take-outs, decent prices. Not sure what “Vegetarian Duck” really means though. 🙂

They also have a Lunch Special from 11-3:30pm for $5.25.

I’m really hoping for their being a quality takeout joint.

Welcome and thank you for opening a “high-end” Indian/Chinese take out/delivery restaurant. I’m looking forward to frequenting your establishment!!! Quality Indian/Chinese is worth the few extra $ – even during tough times.

Hi Krissi. You are right about tangra but it looks tiny, no atmosphee which tangra has and just to buy food and leave is not a complete meal. Alot of people looks for an atmosphere when they eat. Plus how is the food and prices as well.

Who is going to be the first person to go in a taste the food and report back to us.

I don’t know how they all stay in business. BTW: on WOR this morning they were talking about how arbitrary the Health Dept is – best comment: I would like to see THEIR KITCHENS!

While I appreciate any new business in Sunnyside, isnt this just in direct competition with Tangra?
