Fuji Restaurant

Fuji Restaurant in Haddonfield is an excellent sushi spot and easily one of the better places I’ve had sushi in the area. I honestly can’t say enough good things about the quality of the food. There’s a huge variety of rolls on the menu, and everything we tried was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. Each roll tasted well thought out, balanced, and made with care. I was there with a group of nine people, which is always a good test, and everyone at the table agreed that the food was fantastic. From a food standpoint, there were zero complaints across the board. The dumplings were really good and came out hot and flavorful, and the edamame was cooked perfectly and lightly seasoned. Even with such a large group, once the orders were in, the food came out quickly and consistently, which was impressive. The service at the very beginning was a bit slow, likely due to the size of our party, but the staff was extremely friendly, attentive, and happy to answer any questions we had about the menu. Another nice perk is that Fuji is BYOB, so you can bring your own beer, wine, or sake if you want to enjoy drinks with your meal. While I didn’t sit at the sushi counter this time, they do have seating where you can watch the chefs prepare the rolls right in front of you, which I definitely want to try on my next visit. The restaurant itself is a bit hidden off the street, but it’s absolutely worth finding. Overall, Fuji is a must-try for sushi lovers. I would highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back again.

Fuji Japanese Cuisine in NJ is an absolute culinary treasure! I visited my friend who lives in NJ and he recommended this place right away. Although it’s located in the back of the Main Street that place had lines of people waiting to get in. Due to last minute call we didn’t have reservation either. But the hostess was kind enough to assist us right away. We waited only for 12 minutes up until the time we were seated. The menu offers a perfect balance of traditional Japanese dishes and innovative creations. Their sushi is incredibly fresh and expertly prepared, with each roll being a work of art. We started with the tuna dumpling and we continued by ordering 8 different rolls. The attention to detail in presentation and taste is outstanding. The staff is warm and attentive. Whether you’re here for a casual dinner, a special celebration, or just craving authentic Japanese cuisine, Fuji never disappoints. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a great dining experience!

Excellence food! Much better than most Japanese Restaurant in NJ

This is my 3rd visit. We were originally going to Sagami but they were close for vacation and me and my friend were both craving for sushi so decided to come back here for some Sushi. My favorite is the ebi which is the sweet shrimp sashimi with deep fried shrimp head. We also got the grilled squid which was amazing. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food came out quick and was reasonably priced. If you are around the area and craving for sushi definitely come check this place out. They also have a parking lot in the back of the building I would definitely be back.

This is by far the best sushi in Haddonfield and one of the best in the area. The sushi is always fresh and delicious and great service. We also tried the Sizzling Beef Steak this time, which was very good as well. Highly recommend. Only thing is that it’s not a fast meal, but good food never is.

0 star – Fuji Restaurant, Haddonfield I ordered sashimi and was brought sushi instead. When I pointed out the mistake, the server offered to take it back and simply remove the rice herself. I declined and tried to do it myself, only to discover the fish was dry, tough, and clearly not fresh and hard to deconstruct, and I shouldn't have to. I complained again and was told, rudely, that this was what I had ordered. It was not. And I sent it back. The staff was dismissive, blamed me for their error, and showed zero interest in making it right. To top it off, they charged me for the incorrect, poor-quality dish. Terrible service, questionable freshness, and an overall unprofessional experience. We won’t be back. This was also my birthday dinner, very disappointed in how they behaved. First and last time coming here.

I love this place. The food is really good, and their green tea ice cream is one of the best I’ve ever had. The service is great too, they are very nice. I’ve been there many times now, and I would recommend.

Arrived for an early dinner at 4pm on a Sunday and was seated right away. Our waitress was attentive and kind. The wooden interior has a nice cozy feel and the restaurant is clean. Food came out lightning fast because no one else was in there at the time. We started with the Kinoko soba soup. 3 Kinds of mushrooms in a delicious dashi broth with soba noodles that were cooked perfectly. We also got the Ebi shumai. The shrimp was fresh and delicious. The shumai was packed with flavor and had a nice texture. Really light and refreshing soup. For entrees we got the J&J roll along with the Dragon roll. The jalapeños in the J&J added a nice kick that was blended nicely with the wasabi mayo. The dragon roll tobiko had a pop of umami and rich texture with the Avocado. The fish within both rolls were fresh. We decided to finish the meal with white tuna sushi. The fish was fresh with a silky mouth feel. None of the sushi here had too much rice which is a great sign. Will be back again to try their other dishes.

Excellent fish, wide selection of nigiri, rough around the edges for service. I hadn't been back to Fuji in many years as it is a bit of a drive to get there. As with many restaurants, they seem to be prioritizing take out over customers with reservations. We had to wade through a scrum of delivery orders and pickup, after which we could finally advance to the hostess. After a short wait, the two of us were seated. Service was polite, if a little slow. While we were promptly given menus, we had to flag down the waitress to give our orders. We ordered a number of appetizers to share which were very good and served within a reasonable time. Unfortunately, we did not have any plates and it took 5 minutes to again flag down a waitress to get some. We were then presented with 2 plates that looked like they came from a NJ diner, heavy, cheap, generic ceramic. Our nigiri arrived and saved the day. The restaurant has a wider selection than many places in the area including "reasonably priced" o-toro. The fish was fresh, firm and very good. One thing that was lacking was any artistic presentation of the fish. It was nigiri, wasabi, and ginger. Overall, I enjoyed the food, but the overall restaurant experience was lacking. I will be back however.

Given the close to perfect rating, expectations were rather high. The restaurant looked great and seating service was quick and passable on a Tuesday night. Unfortunately my complete meal was not as complementary. My plates certainly looked great but the rice in both my entrees was not properly prepared and seasoned. The seaweed used for my roll was not crisp meaning it was either not toasted or stored properly before service to account for the humidity. The bed of rice in my Chirashi was lightly seasoned with furikake seaweed but that hardly made a difference. It was still under seasoned. The sliced fish in my chirashi was fresh, but there wasn't any difference in taste from piece to piece. No amount of soy sauce or wasabi was going to enhance my chirashi. My experience certainly did not lay claim to a "best ever" designation and I've had my share of great sushi.

This restaurant is such a sleeper for sushi in south Jersey, but has become my favorite go to sushi place after trying a lot of different places in the area. I think outside of Sagami, the sushi here is the best in the area. I only wish they delivered! They have so many different types of rolls and they are all really good! We try to pick a variety of their special rolls and they have all been really good. We also get their sashimi and it's very fresh and good too!

This is the best sushi in the area by FAR. (I have committed myself to trying many sushi places.) Nothing in Haddonfield even comes close.

Vibes: busy Japanese BYOB complete with scent of soy sauce; bring a date or the family Tasting notes: Hamachi collar: perfectly broiled; tender, sweet meat; comes with yummy citrusy soy-based dipping sauce; a light appetizer Negima beef appetizer: served warm; six bite-sized pieces; meat was excellent in cut and not too salty Crazy Horse: thick pieces of fish inside and out; absolutely loved the ikura, very fresh; each sushi piece was quite large Kiss Fire: despite the generous slices of jalapeño, good spiciness level so as not to overwhelm the taste of the fish Oh My God: creamy crab interior; great texture from tobiko Other thoughts: - very expansive roll menu - sushi order served on same plate, so it took about a half an hour from placing the order to get the food on the table - appreciated having regular and low sodium soy sauce at the table - recommend making a reservation on the weekend as the restaurant is fairly small but very popular Impression: very happy to be a stone's throw distance away from this lovely sushi restaurant!

Went to Fuji for the first time recently. Food was very good as was service! I liked the atmosphere and definitely would like to try again!

Fuji offers impossibly fresh fish, all simply and beautifully presented. Their offering were more traditional in years past, but they now offer more Americanized rolls to accommodate local preferences. The adventurous diner, however, can find more obscure choices, such as the live scallop, sea bream, amberjack, and walu. I cannot dine here and not get the crispy salmon skin hand roll. The service is always attentive and quick. The restaurant itself is a minimalist treasure: small, intimate, and quiet. Bring your own sake, wine, or beer.

Go for the lunch specials! Quality sushi & kitchen food plus BYOB. Ever since Sagami stopped lunch service (thanks a lot Covid...) this is the best spot in SJ for Japanese food for a nice lunchtime treat. It's still a bit pricey but you can't beat the value. It's really hard to find both fresh sushi & authentic bento box specials around these parts without crossing a bridge. Highly recommend plus it's in a very walkable business district of you have extra time.

The ambience of this place is so relaxing, quiet, soft music, low lighting. Server was excellent and food came out as ordered. I had ginger pork and a few rolls. All were tasty, took some pork home. Generous servings. Overall, pleasant experience and our favorite sushi restaurant besides Tokyo Bleu.

Tried Fuji on the suggestion of a friend and Sushi lover. Other then the ambiance of the place needing a little pick me up, I thought the Sushi was fresh, well portioned and nicely presented. Service was what to be expected and the restaurant is located in a cozy little shopping area with plenty of parking. I enjoyed the octopus (Tako Salad) and and was pleasantly surprised by our tuna dumpling. Quite a few chef specialty rolls offered and a menu that does not fall short on entree selections.

Enjoyed a meal with friends - edamame, wings and veg chip all good. Shared several nice sushi rolls and plum wine chicken entree (also excellent). A very nice chocolate cake dessert was shared. BYOB, so bill was reasonable. Service friendly and efficient. Dining room filled up but easy to have a conversation. Only minor issue was a few episodes during the meal of smoky dining area, once causing some alarms to go off briefly.

Horrible service. We waited in line with people that ordered pick up and had dinner reservations for close to 40 minutes past our reservation. Then, we finally were seated, in very tight proximity to two other tables, and nobody even came over to ask if we wanted water or to open our wine. We finally walked out and will never go back or recommend anyone go there if you expect to be served and seated in a timely manner. Do not accept reservations if you cannot accommodate your guests. I'd give no stars if it was an option!

Super Comfy location! The food was delicious and the service was very efficient. This restaurant is byob they have a good selection of sushi and other Japanese meals if you're not into sushi. Good portion sizes as well. Definitely worth have a like date night here

This update is one that is written out of delightful confusion, seeing as I've never had cuisine from any Pacific Rim country that included lamb. Ladies and gents, the lamb chops at Fuji are excellent! The notes of ginger and mustard add enjoyment to an already exemplary cut of protein. I absolutely recommend!

Lucky for me, a friend had brought me to this place for dinner. And honestly it was so good that I went the next night with my partner. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very appealing, it had dim lights that weren't too dark, soft instrumental music, and lots of japanese artwork and aesthetics. If you're looking for a nice date spot this is it!! The servers here were so friendly and super attentive to us and whatever we needed. We ordered the renko (lotus) chips which were awesome, they were fried and covered in this seasoning (honestly it tasted just like potato so extra points for that). The karaage chicken wings came in a vinegar sauce, they were not bad, but I would probably skip on next time. Also got to try their takoyaki which was good, but nothing crazy, but still enjoyable because I love takoyaki. The hotpot dish consisted of thinner sliced beef, vegetables, and noodles, however I thought the beef was a little tough, and the broth was sweet which threw me off. Ordered nigiri sushi, an assortment of salmon, yellow tail, amberjack, medium fatty tuna, eel, uni. All super yummy, the quality of the fish was super fresh and the fish to rice ratio was *chef's kiss*. A big must try is the hamachi kama (Yellowtail collar). This was a first time for me and WOW it blew me away. The flavor of the salt broiled fish was just so decadent and flavorful, the cut of fish was perfect. Will definitely be ordering again! If you're in the haddonfield area and craving some really good quality sushi, I recommend you come check this place out!

Came here with my boyfriend for Valentine's Day lunch. The food was delicious and ambience was great. We enjoyed a cozy booth together. Our waitress was attentive as well. Definitely a great quiet lunch spot with really yummy food.

Fuji is a very comfortable, quiet, and peaceful restaurant to experience authentic Japanese cuisine. The waitresses are very responsive and efficient in arriving at your table in a very short amount of time and providing refills of green tea and water when asked. My wife and I always go for lunch and you can't beat the value of their offerings. Usually we each order one of their two bento box selections which come with both soup and salad. The other day I changed it up and ordered the two sushi rolls special which also came with soup and salad. We both thoroughly enjoyed our lunches as usual and both of us brought home some of the sushi rolls. The lunch prices are very fair for both the quality and quantity of food presented to us. We need to try dinner again as I saw that they still have the chicken with plum sauce entrée which was delicious. My wife loves soft shell crabs so we will be on the lookout as the season should be starting soon. Give Fuji a try and you won't regret it.

Excellent quality lunch selection at a very reasonable price. Service is wonderful. Ambience is conducive to soft voice conversations. I highly recommend this Japanese food restaurant.

I am always craving sushi and is always down for Japanese food! I came across this restaurant on yelp and it's has a good selection of sushi so I decided to try it. I ordered the tuna dumpling for the appetizer. It was ok. The dumpling is bigger compared to other places I had them but the filling inside is not my favorite. I had better. For the rest of the food, I had sushi deluxe I believe. It comes with chef choice sushi pieces and tuna roll. It was good. The fish quality was good. Also ordered toro and sweet shrimp sushi. Very delicious. I also got a specialty roll and salmon rolls. They were good as well. My favorite dishes were the custard steamed egg and the steak entree that the meat was cooked on the hot stone. Very unique and not much restaurant has these two food options on their menu. The food came out at a reasonable time. I didn't wait long and the service was good. Overall a good atmosphere and food were delicious.

We went on a Saturday night, it was relatively quiet and had a very peaceful, fancy ambiance. Definitely a date night place. Everything was delicious and top notch quality. The employees were attentive and friendly. I remember trying the Edamame, Seaweed Salad, Karaage Chicken Wings, Queen Roll, Vicki Esq Roll, Peace Roll and a few other rolls my friends had but can't remember the name. All delicious and would recommended. If there was one minor suggestion I could make, I would say to put the sauce of the Karaage Chicken Wings on the side and not pooled on the bottom of the plate. There is metered street parking. Fuji is located in a building with a few other businesses. 5/5

Great food and service. Try the OMG roll. Very reasonable pricing, too! We will certainly be back.

A nice small restaurant with excellent sushi. Servers were friendly and attentive, yet it took about 45 minutes from time of order until receiving our meal for two people at the table...with a reservation. It was a Saturday night and the place was filled. Fish was fresh and worth the wait. BYO without ice buckets offered for white wine (which no table had, so be prepared). Will certainly return.

A very quiet authentic Japanese restaurant with a very nice staff. Enjoyed my lunch very much.

I love sushi. A lot. I was excited to try this place. We brought an expensive bottle of wine (girls night vibes) and the waitress went missing with it for at least 5 minutes. I've never had someone not open the bottle table side, so I was really uncomfortable with the amount of time it was out of sight. The sushi rolls were pretty good. The rice in the rolls was old and the only reason I know that is because the rice was hard. That being said, the fish was fresh. The miso was delicious! My biggest bone to pick was the service. We got a lot of blank looks from the waitress and she barely responded. It was really bizarre. When we arrived, I told her I had a reservation and she silently took 2 menus and disappeared. We realized after confusion that we were supposed to follow her. It just was a weird experience and felt very out of body for me. This isn't a knock on the food because it's pretty good, but I don't think I'd go back because I was really confused the entire time. LOL.

My first time visiting here and it was great. Love the fact that it was BYOB! I've been on the hunt for a good sushi restaurant near the area and I finally found one!!! We ordered the miso soup which was so tasty and had more than tofu and seaweed that the usual restaurants have. The dragon roll was my favorite out of the rolls we ordered which had eel and avocado and a wonderful sweet sauce! All the other rolls were good too but the sauce is just immaculate. Servers were also very attentive and nice! Prices weren't too bad either, definitely gonna come back again!

Good food, variety of choices, Chawan Mushi so good! Hamachi Kama, sukiyaki, tempura all Japanese flavor & quality. Went during lunch, not too busy. Definitely will be back.

The sushi and sashimi are excellent. The Service is excellent. The Staff and owners are lovely. We have been coming here for years and we have never had anything but a great meal here. I am the worlds pickiest eater. I am from New York City and used to the freshest best food and there are few and far between restaurants in the suburbs that are worth spending time and money on. This is one of them. One of my favorite cooked meals are the lamb chops. The only dish o didn't particularly care

DELICIOUS. Definitely worth the dine-in experience. I went on a late Thursday afternoon and the atmosphere is quite low-key. Sushu & sashimi tasted great, but the best thing I ate had to be the Soba. It was absolutely yummy & the umami taste is just unforgettable. I will definitely return!

Slowest service and takeout ever. Waiting 35-40 mins past the time was told our order would be ready.

Tucked away in a small plaza in which my son does martial arts, but I consider this the best sushi in Haddonfield, period. Everything is fresh, great ambiance, good service. I've visited about three times since 2014 when my wife and I moved here and never had a bad experience. Today we went out for lunch, they had very reasonable lunch prices, I am partial to yellowtail so had both a yellowtail roll and handroll and it was superb! I would like to take advantage of their Omakase at some point but perhaps another time.

Went for lunch, very disappointed, they are the the original Japanese chef/owner and menus are different. From the menu, we ordered udon in hot pot with shrimps, clams, egg and vegetables in a hot pot. The food was completely different from what was described in the menu. The noodles were served in a bowl with one piece of soggy tempura shrimp, one mussel, one egg and cabbage. Service was poor. We only saw the waitress when ordered food and paid at the end. Also the sushi chefs were talking so loud on the background.

Sushi newbie here and while I've been to a handful of sushi 'adventures', Fuji is my favorite so far. After a yoga class I ventured over through the somewhat hidden away restaurant. It's in a mall that looks more like an office building. Take advantage of the BYOB since Haddonfield is a dry town. BYOB = bonus! The newbie (that's me) sat at the sushi bar in my gym clothes. I bet I violated many sushi restaurant snobbery rules. Oh well though, my belly wants sushi and so we went simple: the lobster spring roll and the shrimp tempura roll. I played it all safe, but then the sushi chef gave me a blue crab roll. It was heavenly! I have idea what I even ate but it didn't matter because it was so much better compared to the places I had been going to with their silly little buffets. Next I stuffed in my shrimp tempura roll and could easily tell the difference in the quality. It was after the tempura roll I realized my little 5'1 body had enough. Unfortunately, my lobster spring roll was staring at me untouched. Ugh! My eyes said feast!! ...and so I did! Too much food in the end and I wanted to roll out the door and call an Uber to my parked car! Sooo good....even in my fancy gym clothes! You bet I'll be back.

Great food, service and ambiance. Customers greeted when walking in and are waved goodbye when leaving. Staff were very busy but still were very polite and attentive. Marinade was very flavorful. Little dissatisfied with chicken and shrimp but overall great spot for yakiniku!

Very impressed with Fuji Japanese Restaurant. It you want high quality Sushi with excellent customer service, I would highly recommend coming here. This is my favorite new sushi place. No Hibachi to note. There are daily specials both for sushi and entrees. A wide variety of sushi roll combinations, some of which I had not seen before. The fish was extremely fresh. The flavor combinations of the rolls were exciting and left you ready for the next bite. Check out my photos for proof! I highly recommend stopping by. Earn your points by making a reservation on OpenTable. Public Parking is available behind the building in a public parking lot.

My favorite sushi place in the area thus far. Though I suspect there may be one in the next town over that is just as good or better. Perhaps the only way for this spot to improve upon their experience would be to offer larger portions or more economical pricing( all you can eat options or tasting menu) Our Saturday lunch started out well, we were the first patrons and had out choice of seats. The decor is simple and evocative of a clean and simple esthetic, and that comes through in the food also. Trish selected a bento box lunch, miso soup was outstanding and salad was crisp and refreshing. The spicy tuna roll was very good, but was upstaged by a roll that normally gets little love( at least from me) Her California roll was the best I've ever taste. Each ingredient carols out and the imitation crab txt to me usually lacks in any crab flavor was excellent. But what really stood out was the rice. I'm no expert but this simple grain was cooked so perfectly that it didn't just hold the other items together, it complemented them. This was also true of the items in my sushi lunch combo. The best part of my choice were the 6 pieces of sashimi that each featured a different fish. It's difficult to say but the flounder or better fish were possible favorites. We will definitely return, maybe to sample some of the kitchen foods, but definitely to try some of the specialty rolls. I don't normally round up but feel it is deserving here. Let's say 4.5 kampai Yelps

We'd been eye balling here for a while. Totally not disappointed! A Yelp tip & our love of guac prompted our succulent appetizer choice - tuna guacamole. O M G good!!! Best Miso soup ever! The salad - although not w the usual ginger dressing I love - was very tasty & refreshing. I got a bento box - came w salad & two sushi rolls - spicy tuna & California. Vince had a sushi combination that boasted sashimi - ALL very excellent & so nicely plated. The sushi was OUTSTANDING! Super fresh & delicious - the rice was soft and another - best ever. Ambiance is casual yet elegant and the servers were very nice. Definitely going back AND spreading the word about Fuji! Luscious!

Very nice restaurant, we had soup, salad and a sushi combo and a soft-shelled crab appetizer. Everything was very good. Prices are reasonable. Service was very good. We would definitely return.

Fuji is my #1 sushi recommendation. No other restaurant even compares to the freshness and quality. I've been here 3 times now and haven't had a roll I didn't absolutely love. Not only is it fresh but they give you thick pieces of fish and no fillers.

One of my favorite go to spots for delicious sushi. Once in a while you have to wait a little too long for your table and your server, but everyone is very friendly and helpful. You MUST do yourself aa favor and try the tuna dumpling as an appetizer, it is a game changer. I have yet to try any sushi or sashimi that wasn't fresh and delicious. The guacamole roll, spicy crunchy tuna, and Boggs rolls are all must try's as well. Great spot in Haddonfield.

Oh, my! What a discovery! While enjoying downtown Haddonfield, thirsty and hungry we stumbled upon Fuji! Hurray! What a find! It was early in the evening and the place offered a peaceful, cool inviting atmosphere from a hot summer night... We were immediately welcomed by the most gracious staff with introductions and overview of their food offerings. Be warned, Haddonfield is a dry town so plan ahead and bring your own! Tonight they have a great special going on! A five course meal for $19.99, what a steal! We started with Miso soup, salads with ginger dressing followed by Sushi rolls; freshly made in front of us; quite delish! As entree I had a salmon dish which was excellent! It came accompanied by rice and vegetables. My husband had Sashimi pieces chosen by him! Quite a surprise! Other places leave this to Chef's discretion.. We closed a most amazing dinner with Ginger Creme Brule and Chocolate ice cream! We practically rolled out! All throughout our dinner the staff was attentive without being intrusive! Kudos to Fuji for excellent service, amazing food at an extremely affordable prices! Wish we lived closer!!!

Came here with my mom for some quick sushi. We got the california roll. Great customer service and affordable prices.

The only redeeming quality was the prompt seating. Otherwise, this restaurant was a complete failure. Food was bland with no seasoning and cold. We ordered edamame. They were bland, no salt. Also, no seasoning on the table (salt or pepper). Our entrees were crab cakes and Chilean Sea Bass. They were served with a small side of mixed vegetables and rice. Our check was $130 for our party of 4. One of our party ordered brown rice. They charged $.50 for that! The vegetables with cold, not even room temperature and too large to eat as served and we were not given a knife to cut them, only chop sticks. As for the entrees, once again, not hot and bland. The Chilean did have a crust top but had no taste. I understand that seasoning is a personal choice to taste, but everything that we ordered was just to bland.

Really top quality sashimi and sushi!! Nestled away in one of Haddonfield's buildings lies this amazing Japanese restaurant. Nice, small, and cozy, I went with the intention of trying out their early dinner menu (normally 5-6pm, I went on Sunday which was 4-5pm) where you get a choice of soup, appetizer, salad, entree, and dessert. There's quite a selection and it's all for $20/person. I went for a clear broth for soup, gyoza for appetizer, ginger dressing salad, sushi combo for entree, and coconut flan for dessert. And it was quite the deal!! I loved most of it. Gyoza wasn't the best but wonderfully presented and tasting. The salad is a step up from most other Japanese restaurants but, if you wanna pay a little extra, the seaweed salad is totally worth it. The sushi - that's the highlight of my dinner. Beautifully cut pieces, perfectly sized rice... just simply amazing. Simple and delicious as sushi should be! And the coconut flan... I would much rather have mochi or something else a bit more quintessentially Japanese but it was amazing. Definitely try it out; there's something for everyone and some really top quality sushi I haven't seen everywhere!

Now before anyone gets glove slapping, let me say this place will most likely garner five stars after a few more successful visits. A fantastic variety of sushi is worth the short drive from downtown Philly to this quiet, elegant restaurant in Haddonfield. It's a BYO, so pick up a favorite Sake or bottle o'vino on the way. I started with the baby octopus, lightly roasted and tender, the taste was reminiscent of bacon with the smoky, rich flavor that was pulled out of these tiny tasty treats. Fresh Live Abalone!! OMG yes please. I'm fairly certain this is one of the only places in the area that serves this. Crunchy yet tender, nutty and sweet., wow. Fresh live scallop? Sweet as candy. Kumomoto oysters are fresh and served with a lovely mignoette interpretation. Crab cocktail was filled with huge pieced of crab, super fresh, perfectly cooked. Not a hint of anything but firm meaty goodness. The white tuna ceviche was crazy good. grapefruit wedges separated slices of white tuna. A sprinkle of crunchy fleur de sel was on top of each wedge of grapefruit, a small sliver of jalapeno on top of each slice of fish. with a very light citrus drizzle. This dish was amazing, and I would never have thought to salt grapefruit, it worked perfectly, and the light pop of the jalapeno was a great burst of green on your palate. Sunomono is served in multiple styles, I went with the simple cold version, which had the lovely addition of udon noodles. Crisp light flavors were a perfect interlude on this hot June evening. Two white tuna handrolls were served in nori so fresh it crackled and shattered in your mouth. I can't remember the last time I've had food this fresh short of Morimoto or Nobu. Our final dish this evening was a shashimi plate for two that was crazy good. Salmon so rich the thin slivers of lemon were practically a mandatory addition to prevent the richness from overwhelming your palate. Yellowtail that still tasted of the sun and sea. Amazing fish. So why not five stars? Three reasons. First, I asked for a bottle of water for the table. I received a soda glass with a straw. My guest received nothing, and had to order his own separate serving. When my glass was empty, it was not refilled, even when I slid it to the edge of the table to clearly indicate I wanted more. By the time staff returned to acknowledge the glass, I was done eating. Second, while we were there, a family in shorts and tshirts arrived. Now I think it's great bringing your kids out to try new things, but shame on Fuji for not putting them in a separate area of the dining room where their incessant prattle, booth kicking, and constant trips to the bathroom would not entertain the guests who were out for a Saturday night classy dinner. Elitist? Screw you and wear a tie hippie. It's Saturday night and if I'm paying $100 or more a person for a meal, wear a damn collared shirt and get a babysitter. Third? If an item is no longer available on your menu, remove it or let me know when you hand me the menu. Two main course items and one dessert item I requested were not available. Price? For the quality of the fish it was an excellent value. Definitely the best Sushi in South Jersey and in the top three in the region. Call ahead for seating at the Sushi bar of for either of the Chef's special tastings. I'm planning an Omikase here soon! I'm heading back tonight for another serving of abalone and to try a few more dishes. Hope to see you there!

Ask me for my favorite sushi restaurant, and I'll tell you it's Fuji, a true hidden gem of a restaurant in quaint Haddonfield, NJ. I ate here for my birthday 3 years ago and I've yet to eat Japanese that burns the same impression. Such blissful food memories... Sashimi was melt-in-your-mouth buttery. The eel oshizushi was incredibly good in all its simple glory: pressed rice, avocado, and a slab of bbq eel. Also the best futomaki I've ever had. Our table unanimously agreed: fresh. The simple menu does more than its job here because the fish is of such high quality. I could not imagine going wrong with any of the sushi choices. You don't need crazy-crunchy-saucy whatever drenched on your sushi when the ingredients are this good. Fuji is for the crowd that wants to appreciate the delicate flavors of their fish in clean, well put together sushi; artfully presented. I feel as though I've almost been ruined for all other Japanese restaurants in its class ever since. I suppose I should just stop cheating. I plan to make a return soon for omakase, and will write another review then.

Sushi is my favorite food, and hands down, the very best sushi I've ever had is while sitting at the counter for omakase at Fuji with Chefs Jesse and Matt working behind the counter and BYOBing some great wines. There really is no point is saying anything else...just go already! OK, I will say two other things: ***Do yourself a favor and order a duo of marinated fatty salmon belly with and without torching (secret recipe). I know "salmon is for amateurs" but as far as I'm concerned this is Jesse's signature dish. ***Also, huge, live Santa Barbara uni come in on Thursday, so call ahead and reserve a whole one for yourself so you are not tempted to steal any of mine.

Went with some friends during Haddonfield's First Night New Years Eve. We were lucky to get a reservation for 7 people, but more on that later; first the food. I was relatively hungry so I decided to get a few small plates and one of the specialty rolls. The Shisito Peppers which are sautéed sweet peppers with an occasional hot one was first to come out. They were really tasty and it was nice to get a few hot ones in the bunch. Next came out the Bar-B-Que Squid. The Bar-B-Que Squid was good but had a few tough pieces and the sauce really wasn't anything special. The next two items were the highlights to the meal. The thinly sliced tuna was melt in your mouth heaven. The tuna literally dissolved in your mouth and the sauce it came with was a nice addition. My main portion was the Jason Roll, which had Fried Oyster, avocado, and spicy shrimp. I've never seen a roll like this on any other menu and too bad, because it was delicious. The combination of flavors were wonderful. As far as the reservation and the service that was a mixed bag. As mentioned previously the reservation was for 7 at 7:30. We arrived on time but had to wait since the table wasn't ready. We were fine with that but I noticed that one couple was at one of the tables that we were to use for our seating. One of them was still drinking a beverage and they seemed to be just winding down after the meal. I've never seen this before but one of the hostesses actually went up to them and seemed to ask them to leave. I didn't see the whole exchange, but they were visibly upset on the way out the door. I felt really bad for the people. It took a while to get someone to take our order, but after that the service was fine. Empty water glasses were filled and the waitress was very nice. Overall a good experience, but I hope to never get treated like the people before us.

Fantastic local gem, and sushi destination spot for the serious Japanophile. It's very important to order from the sushi chefs at the bar if you're a sushi snob. The waitresses will steer you toward rolls and supermarket seaweed salads. Go with the real deal. I told Jesse-san to give me the best of the best, whatever he wanted He obliged splendidly: 1) Live uni -- this is from Santa Barbara. Jesse disappeared in the back to prep this and it was worth it. Nice and sweet and fresh. Silky awesome 2) Hamachi Kama -- As Jesse was plating my sashimi hamachi kama came out (I had asked for a grilled item). The kama was outstanding, good portion, fresh, cooked perfectly with salt, and a meaty, juicy interior. Just how I love it. I thought the pacing was odd, however, as I've never had the cooked fish before the raw fish. It was a strong dish that overtook some of the later sashimi. It was served with ground radish and ginger 3) Sashimi to infinity -- I told Jesse to load me up with the best of the best. He's a fatty fish guy, and the O-toro was stellar, the fatty salmon and hamachi very good too. I saw him prep a snapper, too, which was cool. Other things I liked were the live scallop, marinated salmon (never had this before), and engawa. The saba was good, but the only silverfish 4) Ankimo -- Jesse-san said he loves chicken liver, and their ankimo was super smooth and perfectly served with ponzu sauce and cucumbers 5) Tamago -- very sweet, eggy. I really liked this, as I don't like the cake/flan type of tamago that is hipper at the "new" sushi restaurants. Perfect way to end the meal Things that hold Fuji back is their need to cater to the masses in NJ/Philadelphia, so you won't find the geoducks and kohadas of the world regularly (they have them sometimes) and the space is like a Chinese restaurant. They need to spruce that baby up! On a very positive note, the knife skills were excellent, fish supremely fresh, aesthetics in plating/portions maintained, and the chefs are gregarious.
