I agree, but for a different reason. Unless the chef has an extensive
background in those fusions, chances are good that shortcuts and stereotypical
seasonings will be used. I'd rather eat authentic food, regardless of where
it's from.

I can have that at home and don't want to pay retail for such simple food.

This too seems excessively ordinary to warrant my hard earned dollars.

I tend to favor restaurants specializing in one cuisine or a related group of
cuisines, since I know the cooks won't have the ingredients or knowledge to
prepare many cuisines well.
