Fuji

I love sushi and I couldn’t think of a better place in San Jose than this joy machine. Thank you to Summer for top tier recommendations and service. The princess roll was out of this world, your extensive knowledge of saki, and the Japanese chicken? I just love this place so much. 10/10

Nice area in the middle of the city. Food is spectacular! Waitresses are kind! Super fresh fish (impressed). Was too excited to take a bite before I took a picture… haha Will come again!

We enjoyed the bento box and some Asahi beer. The service is nice. I liked that the bento box comes with miso soup, rice and salad, and you can choose 2 or 3 different items . I chose spicy tuna roll which was nice and sashimi of white tuna which was ok.

I had a fantastic experience at Fuji! The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Every sashimi piece was packed with flavor and made with high-quality ingredients. The staff and chef were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. They were attentive and made sure everything was perfect. The atmosphere was great, and you could tell they genuinely care about their customers. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great sushi and excellent service! I’ll definitely be coming back.

the bento box is very great value to the price. The salmon is good. The beef is Korean style. The pork is size big. This is properly the best Asian fusion restaurant in downtown.

Make sure you leave yourself some time to examine the lengthy menu of specialty rolls, there are so many excellent choices! They even have a roll with no rice (pictured) Absolutely delicious! Try the sushi nachos for something a little untraditional. Service was quick and efficient. The atmosphere is just fine.

Everything I want in a sushi dinner. Great menu. Plenty of gluten free options plus soy sauce. The service was perfect. Good food. We shared a Hamachi Lovers roll and nigiri combo.

The perfect sushi spot to cover any craving, Fuji was a place I would go back to for sure. Nice environment not too much seating so go early to beat the rush. My favorite was their cherry blossom roll.

The tofu donburi was delicious, so was the miso soup! It's very friendly and welcoming here!

Me and my husband have been on the hunt for a sushi spot and I think we finally found it. I apologize for not having better pictures but phone did not eat first. My husband had the sushi combo plate that came with miso, salad, 5 pieces of nigiri (chefs choice), and a tempura roll. This was the steal of the night, such a good price and so delicious! I tried the spicy crunch roll and max roll. Everything was super fresh and delicious. I was left feeling so satisfied and happy. The service was prompt and good. The sushi chefs were sweet too and said goodbye on our way out. The restaurant is decorated so fun too. Can't wait to come back and try more!

As a longtime sushi lover and Yelp Elite who's eaten my way through more rolls than I can count, I really wanted to love Fuji Sushi... but this visit landed right in the middle for me. I ordered two rolls: the Spider Roll and the Hawaiian Rainbow Roll. Spider Roll: The presentation was clean and the portion size was solid, but the flavor was just okay. The soft-shell crab was a bit on the soggy side instead of that crispy, crunchy bite you hope for. Hawaiian Rainbow Roll: This one had great potential. The fish was fresh and the colors were beautiful, but the roll itself felt slightly loose and fell apart quicker than it should've. The toppings were good, but the flavor didn't quite pop the way I expected for a specialty roll. Service was friendly and quick, and the restaurant itself is comfortable , but easy for a casual sushi night. Prices were fair for the area. Overall, Fuji Sushi is a decent spot if you're nearby, but nothing really stood out enough to make it a must-return for me. I'd give it another shot if I'm in the neighborhood, but I'll probably explore other sushi options first.

Nice and cozy place downtown. We ordered quickly and the staff were attentive. We had Bento boxes with chicken teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, Korean barbecue and chicken katsu, Max roll, and Spicy Ramen and an Asahi beer. The food was great and freshly cooked. The restrooms were also large and clean. We enjoyed ourselves.

I came here to eat on my birthday and was greeted and seated immediately, although it took me some time to find parking due to the area being quite busy. The restaurant itself is charming, with Japanese style decorations and photos of previous guests hanging on the walls. I ordered the Omakase special, Uni nigiri, and Ikura nigiri, probably my 3 favorite sushi items. The Omakase came with a salad and some miso soup. While I enjoyed my dinner I do feel like the quality of the fish could have been better. Overall, I did feel like it was worth what I paid. Would consider returning here again!

I was craving sushi the other week, and while this place "scratched the itch," nothing particularly stood out to me! We ordered the spicy edamame and I ordered the combo A (with the dragon roll) while my boyfriend ordered the chef's choice nigiri. First, the edamame was delicious! It was arguably more garlicky than spicy, but I thought these were some of the better flavored edamame I've had. The dragon roll was a pretty standard specialty roll. It was a decent serving and I liked both the shrimp tempura and sauces. I thought my nigiri and shashimi was only OK - even the toro and salmon didn't stand out, and those are normally my favorite. The whole selection didn't seem overly fresh, especially considering the general area and access to fresh fish; to be clear, the fish certainly wasn't stale, but it just didn't have a crisp, rich flavor. My boyfriend also felt that his chef's choice nigiri was just OK, which was disappointing given that we paid a little more for supposedly better options. As for service, the staff was nice, but my gripe is that our edamame, miso soup and salad all came out at the same time, followed very shortly after by our entrees. Not only did we run out of space on our table, but I felt like the staff kept coming back to clear items when we weren't done, and it was a little disruptive. Given that we picked this spot for date night, it would've been nice to spend a little more time at dinner with a more spaced out meal. Given the number of sushi places around, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back. However, this is probably a good neighborhood spot!

Jalapeno bomb (their version of jalapeno poppers) isn't too spicy but still has a bit of a kick. Tonkatsu curry is just okay imo - seems like they purposely added wayyy too much water so it watered down the taste of Japanese curry a bit, which already isn't heavily spiced. It wasn't too bland though. I could still taste the salt and a bit of curry spice. The dish came with plenty of carrots, onions, and either cucumber or zucchini (both of which also release a lot of water when cooked). The tonkatsu is tender but lost most of its crisp after being doused in the curry. Miso soup (tasted pretty standard) comes with this dish. We also ordered the I Like Eel roll (8 piece roll with unagi and cucumber and covered with unagi pieces and unagi sauce) which was delicious and soft!

Definitely solid for your bento fix go-to. Haven't been here for awhile but was back for our coworkers' birthdays last week. Not too many sushi restaurants do Bento boxes anymore and if they do it's only for lunch. (Hard for me to wrap my head around this. Listen up BUSINESSES, if you need to raise the price do it, but bring them back!!) So typical, but I always love California Rolls. I feel rooted to my years working at Sushi Lovers in Milpitas. And the salmon teriyaki was good. This place is always cozy and like a friend that never let's you down, is always there when you need a foodie hug. Xoxo

Cozy intimate sushi spot with soft lighting and bamboo furnishings offering a variety of food options from sushi and bento boxes, to curry dishes and ramen. We ordered seafood ramen, dynamite rolls, and bento boxes with 3 items. Very generous portions and reasonably priced. Exceptional service. Now this is my sushi spot on downtown San Jose.

Fuji sushi is a popular lunch spot for anyone working in DTSJ. Service is always quick and bento is decent value. I feel like the bento is way more worth it than the rolls. Nothing special and I probably wouldn't go so often if there were better sushi options in the area. They do get crowded if you come during the lunch rush with a big group.

Curb Parking by the restaurant was limited so it was quite a walk from the parking lot which cost $20 prepaid! Made a reservation for 4 and arrived at the specific time , so got seated pretty quick!! A bar seating by the sushi counter and few dine in tables for 2-4 made place cozy ! An outdoor patio group seating is available too! Ordered my favorite appetizer " Soft Shell Crab" ... good size crunchy battered and delicious crab! Hubby and I shared a tempura meal including a salad! Service was great with servers filling up our hot tea cups ! Will come visit again but gotta find a better parking space!

Not sure why I haven't been here before, since it's right down the street but I decided to give this place a shot today and I'm so glad I did! I just ordered a poke bowl today (delicious 5/5) but I see they have sushi boats so I'll definitely be back. The service was so great too, the two ladies helping us out were so attentive.

Great sushi spot downtown! I often come here for lunch when I'm craving sushi. The restaurant is small and cozy, giving you a real feel of Japan. Service is quick and the food comes out fast. I especially enjoy the fresh salmon rolls. Prices are reasonable, so definitely give it a try if you're in the area.

Stumbled upon Fuji sushi while looking for new sushi places to try out. Didn't realize it was in downtown! We were a party of 2, a table of 4 (2 tables) was open but they said only sushi bar available. Actually I preferred the sushi bar more because the table space is way bigger than a 2 person table. We ordered the chicken karaage for appetizer and it was alright. It was kind of cold so it seems like it had been sitting for a while. For the rolls, we ordered Happy Together, Godzilla, and Leo's Choice. Leo's choice was my least favorite, it was quite messy because it had a lot of toppings and sauce on top. If you like eating onions you should get this. Godzilla was my favorite, it has hamachi, salmon, tempura and spicy crab. Happy together was also really good, basically like a crunchy mango roll but it could have used more crunchy flakes. Overall a pretty decent sushi place in downtown san jose, we were surprised that it was in downtown.

This is a cozy, no-frills sushi spot with a calm, inviting atmosphere. I stopped by for a Monday night dinner and enjoyed the quiet vibe. I had the Tuna Lover Roll, Tonkotsu Ramen, and a hot sake. Everything was nicely done. The sushi tasted fresh, the ramen was comforting, and the service was prompt without being overbearing. Nothing flashy here, but it delivers a solid, relaxed experience. Would return.

Came here on a Wednesday night after story time at the local library. Had a craving for sushi so I was happy to find a spot close by. We had our toddler in the stroller so it was easier for us to sit outside. I'm sure high chairs were an option but our little guy does better seated in his stroller. The waitresses were so sweet about us sitting outside; preferring us to sit inside but we insisted. They checked in with us frequently to make sure we were ok. WHAT WE ORDERED - sashimi appetizer: great quality, came with 2 salmon and 2 tuna. It was a great option to the roll since I did not want a full plate of sashimi. - teriyaki beef appetizer: great serving side for our toddler and the teriyaki sauce was not too sweet. Our little guy loved it. - spicy edamame: great spice level but too spicy for my personal preference. My husband loved it though. - Alaskan roll: very filling, could do without the mayo sauce on the top - dinner bento w/ short rib, bugolgi, and katsu (miso soup, rice, and salad included): my husband thought the short ribs and bugolgi had good flavor; saved his katsu for lunch the next day. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and would be happy to come back again.

Downtown San Jose spot run by a kind Korean family. Their rolls stand out for the price. The tri- color roll was delicious and the chirashi was fresh as well.

My introduction to Fuji was with my late friend, Drea. This place will always have a special place in my heart! And what a lifesaver!! My flight got in late, and by the time I checked in, I needed to eat! Looking around on Yelp, Fuji came up and I was like, oh man, YES!!! It's been way too long! Parking can be a challenge. They close at 10, I arrived at 9:20. Cheerful welcome when I walked in. She: Can I get you something to drink? Me: Small hot sake She: The small is like this so maybe the large... And she was right! A young man came to take my order. I got the I Like Eel Roll, which was sooooooo good! And I asked which one should I get, udon or ramen, and he said ramen. Then said the spicy seafood was his favorite so I ordered that. I didn't know a small half crab was going to be in it, and a large mussel...soooooo damn good on a chilly night! Really loved the broth! This is one of the best OG places in San Jose to come to! Definitely worth checking out!

We never really go to downtown San Jose but we had friends in town and they picked this restaurant. We were happy to oblige and try something new. Ambiance: The place is small and cozy. Service: The staff was extremely pleasant and attentive. Food: I usually take better pictures but we were with a big group so I did my best. Also no picture of the bill. - Beef Curry: I ordered the beef curry and it was DELICIOUS! This is something not all Japanese places carry but now that I know they do we'll be going there again. - South San Jose Roll: My wife got this and she said it was delicious. - Tonkatsu Ramen: My younger son got this dish and he enjoyed it. Please be aware it is a HUGE portion so you'll leave with left overs. - Bento Box: My older son got the Chicken Katsu bento and he finished it. I have never seen him absolutely destroy a bento box like this. - Mochi: We got Strawberry and Mango mochi for the adults and the kids and it was a hit!! Price: for 8 people the bill was close to $400 (including tip; we had sake). I'd say the food was on the expensive side but worth it

Warmly greeted. Pleasant ambiance and background music. It's a surprisingly large restaurant considering the store front. Very clean throughout, as well. The Regular Assorted Sashimi was fresh and decent size. The Sunomono was good, but typical. (I opted for no tako or ebi.) The Dragon Balls were a pleasant surprise. I was expecting something like takoyaki, but it was more like a lightly deep fried stuffed mushroom x 4. This is a must whenever I come here! I am not used to a separate charge for plain, white rice. My usual spots do not charge for a bowl of rice (or hot tea, either.) Service was attractive, yet not intrusive. If you're in DTSJ, check them out. It's also only a 15 minute walk to the SJ Center for the Performing Arts.

Came here on a Thursday evening as a party of three and we were seated immediately, though the shop itself isn't very large it feels super cozy and the decor is quite cute. There are plenty of options on their menu including nigiris, curry, bentos and more but my friends and I really just came here for the rolls. We ended up ordering 9 rolls and all of them were amazing. The rolls that were either fried or had a fried element (eg. fried soft shell crab) had a great light and crisp texture which was pleasant. Every roll that had fish tasted fresh with no distinct fishy flavor which was great. The hamachi was soft and buttery in texture and I particularly liked it in the Ninja roll with the smoked salmon. They have some very unique rolls here and my favorite of the night was definitely the ninja roll because I've never had smoked salmon in a roll before and the light smoked flavor was distinguishable but not overpowering, and it really gave the roll a nice deep savory flavor which is quite enjoyable. The atmosphere is casual and the service was attentive and kind so I would recommend coming here if you're in the area and enjoy sushi!

Service is 10/10 they are all friendly and welcoming. Ambiance is pretty chill nothing special, we came in after lunch hour so not that busy. Food is decent not having a "wow" factor for it but good enough for price. Sushi Rolls - Presentation: 9/10 - Size: 10/10 - Quality & Flavour: 8/10 * Im not sure if it was coinsidence but all our sushi had jalapeño on top of them. Would be great to have non-spicy options too. Ramen - Presentation: 9/10 - Size: 10/10 - Quality & Flavour: 7/10 *lack on flavour for the broth which would have made the ramen taste better, but size and quantity of toppings are enough. All in all we had a good experience. We would come back for sure! Hopefully quality and size of fish on the Nigiri & Sushi Rolls gets better.

Small little sushi spot hidden in downtown right next to hot Worx. It's all street parking. Went on Friday night waiting about 15 minutes for table for 2. They have a big selection of specialty rolls. We got the miso soup, spicy edamame, taro nigiri, avatar, super dynamite, and Sakura roll. The rolls were ok, fish didn't taste as fresh as I'd like it to be. Miso soup and spicy edamame were good.

Smack dab in downtown San Jose where Capitol Hall is just a block away, Fuji Sushi offers solid Japanese meal options. With a decent lunch menu featuring sushi, curry over right, and the ubiquitous bento box, you'll find something for everyone. And that's what my wife and I did! We visited on a normal Monday lunch time. Street parking at the meter was only for 1hr. Fuji was not crowded and we were seated quickly. Nice decor inside the restaurant with a sushi bar and old school seating areas, you feel like you're transported away. Food was good. I think actually better than I had expected. Service was pretty quick as well. Good times. Great place for lunch if you're in the area. Parking can be difficult.

Solid sushi spot in San Jose! Service is always great and pretty quick. Highly recommend!

I was super impressed with this place!! The food was really good. We got the salmon sashimi and it was tasty and the portion size was MASSIVE. It was amazing value for the price and the pictures really don't do it justice. The sashimi also came with soup and salad, so I really think the price was a steal! We also got the carpaccio (would pass on this one) and the lion king roll which was really good! There was a lot of flavor and it was a good size. My bf and I shared, and one roll, one sashimi, and one app was more than enough for both of us! The ambiance is a bit more cozy. There's a lot of people and the space is a bit small. We made a reservation beforehand and had no problem getting seated, but definitely saw a line after we left! Unrelated to the restaurant itself, but parking was a nightmare. You'll have to fight for street parking since they don't have their own lot.

Easily the best sushi downtown. I've never had a bad meal here. They also make a mean katsu.

Found a really good Japanese restaurant in downtown San Jose super close to our hotel, definitely could have walked but we were tired from early flight & long day of exploring so we drove. Easily found street parking at a meter which ends at 6 PM. Cute, quirky little restaurant with nice sized sushi bar & big menu filled with classic Japanese dishes like katsu curry, udon or soba topped with all the traditional choices like tempura or thin slices of beef. They have 2 full pages of sushi rolls so tons of variety, both cooked & raw. I decided to have a bento with choice of 3 items, grilled mackerel, agedashi tofu & yellowtail sashimi for a $3 upgrade. My daughter ordered tempura udon, which came with one shrimp and veggie tempura like broccoli, green beans, sweet potato & eggplant. The noodles were also topped with sliced cabbage, carrots, broccoli & spinach leaves which I really appreciated. My bento had a whole filet of grilled mackerel, which most restaurants will only give you half of a filet. My slices of yellowtail sashimi were a nice thickness...not at all on the skimpy side & well worth the extra $3 up charge. My 3rd selection was agedashi tofu, also a nice portion size with 4 slices of fried tofu served in a savory broth & topped with dried bonito flakes & grated daikon radish. This was a great meal choice with good size portions for just $28.95! Service was good, actually 3 servers helped us throughout the night, all friendly & experienced. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, lots of variety, fresh fish, and good sized portions.

This sushi spot was a 5 star experience! Highly recommend. The service was great and food was top tier.

Came here for Valentines, very good experience ! Showed up a little late to my reservation and was still attended on a busy night ! Upon setting we were attended quickly and happily Ordered the South SJ Roll which was delightful with Salmon ! The house sake was great as well especially on cold day ! I love the look of the inside reminds me of those Asian joints you see in movies definitely would recommend and go again ! 9/10

We ordered 2 of their bento boxes and a roll for lunch. Everything was fresh and delicious. They also have a wide variety of daily specials. Will visit again.

Absolutely love this place!! Miso soup is a must on a cold night. I got the Happy Together roll & it was perfect. Flavorful, crunchy consistency, perfect amount of sauce & the fish was very fresh. Service is quick and everyone is so friendly! Looking forward to coming back and trying more rolls :)

The food was good. We had the Lion King Roll and it tasted so light, fresh, and delicate. We ordered some Sashimi and the Uni and both were good. The Salmon was a bit chewy. Although the service was decent. The ambiance was very cozy and cute for a casual date or going out to eat spot. I asked for a spot at the sushi bar and they gladly gave it to us!

Nice and cozy little spot. Fresh fish and our whole group of 10 enjoyed everything. From ramen to bento boxes to sushi and sashimi. Service was fast despite it being packed. Servers were friendly as well. We would definitely come back.

Good food at a reasonable price. The owner was nice enough to let my group wait inside 5 minutes before they opened when it was a cold night. It was nice and quiet for a weekday evening. Our food came quickly and our tea was refilled quickly. The Dragon Ball is a unique appetizer that I've never seen before and I recommend it.

My wife and I recently had dinner here and the food was great. We ordered Nigiri Combo, the fish was fresh and the sushi rice was well prepared. In addition the tempura was fried just to our liking, this is our new favorite sushi spot downtown

we absolutely loved our meal here! It was the best fish we've had in a long time - highly recommend the omakase platter. Kind service as well

This Japanese restaurant is a cute little place with a super diverse menu. They have everything including sushi, ramen, udon, soba, bento boxes, curry, and rice bowls! I got the vegetable udon which was super warm and comforting and I finished the entire broth because it was so delicious: 10/10. My friend had the tonkotsu ramen to which she also gave very positive feedback. When we came, there was no wait and the staff were super friendly and kept checking back on us to make sure everything was okay. I'd definitely come back again!

I ordered a 10pc nigiri sushi plate. It came with your standard assortment of nigiri - salmon, tuna, shrimp, yellow tail, bbq eel for a little under $30. The quality of the sushi itself was of lower grade. The cut was too big, the texture was a bit chewy, and the sashimi wasn't packed well with the rice as it frequently fell apart. I couldn't eat my last piece of tuna because it had a heavy iron taste. I even ordered two pieces of toro a la carte and it did not have that buttery texture I was hoping for. On the plus side the agedashi tofu was pretty good and the saki helped numb my sorrows. Onto the service. We didn't have our server until we were ready to order. No recognition, no water. We were even asked to move to make room for another party. That doesn't bother me but my feeling is that planning can be a bit better. A few more notes: - I wasn't given a plate for the tofu - I wasn't given a plate to dip in soy sauce - I wasn't given a spoon for the miso soup - I didn't eat the salad but I was asked if I still wanted it after my utensils were taken away... Overall, I feel like this place has potential but a lot more room for improvement.

The food was great. We had edamame, one of the Sushi Combos, plus an additional roll and it was all really delicious and the fish was very fresh. What we had was enough for two of us. And we had a nice bottle of sake. The atmosphere reminded me of places we've seen on Japanese travel shows - small but comfortable, nicely decorated, and still private - I didn't feel like we were on top of everyone else. The service was very attentive. We had a great time and highly recommend Fuji Sushi.

Crunchy hamachi roll and Three of a Kind roll were 10/10! The nigiri were also solid -- highly recommend the torched sake, ika, and kanpachi. The ambiance was cozy and casual, good for a bite with friends or a date. The service was good--friendly and attentive staff. A solid place for sushi--not blind blowing but good.

A great sushi spot! We visited on a weekday evening, and it was busy. The overall experience was excellent, although it took a while for a server to take our drink and food order, even after I mentioned we were ready. On the plus side, the food came out super fast. The fish was good, but the ramen I ordered wasn't worth the price, though I was craving it. Parking can be a pain when it's busy, but some parking garages offer free parking for the first hour or so.

Die Hard Roll. Never had anything like it! Salmon sushi was like butter! First time here and we'll be back. Soooo good!

This place is packed. We made reservations for 6:30 on Saturday evening. Every patron thereafter other than the large group of 10 people walked in without rezzies. While they were able to sit down quickly, it seemed it was because there were only 2 at a time. It was too cold to eat outdoors on the small patio so some seating was lost. The place is a typical Japanese sushi bar with decorative items such as paper lanterns, a sushi bar with seating and then several booths separating by bamboo dividers. We ordered the sashimi combo which had chef's choice of sashimi along with the spicy tuna rolls that we chose. Comes with a side salad and miso soup for $22. This was decent. We ordered several of the rolls, Tsunami, Avatar and Volcano Roll. I would say they are good, but nothing really impressed me to make me say "WOW". Rolls were not spicy as the waiter said. Even the sliced jalapenos were not. I think I'm over just the taste of soy sauce, wasabi and sriracha mayo. $114 including tax, tip and the small bottle of peach sake, it was ok for 3 people. We were full, but not overly stuffed at the end of the night.

The five stars is for the restaurant's new laminated paper menu. The menu selections are attractively arranged and quick to understand. Out of the roughly 250 eateries in the downtown area, this paper menu was one of the most effective at helping me easily and quickly figure out what to order, and actually, whether or not to order too. Also worth mentioning was how the teriyaki sauce combined well with the salad dressing. Both are one-dimensional, but become two-dimensional when mixed together. In comparing Fuji Sushi with Sushi Confidential last night, Confidential has more of a young adult festive atmosphere, where Fuji is more relaxed for dining and deeper conversations. Finally five stars for the gigantic sidewalk sign which lights up at night-time. This sign helps connect San Pedro Square with Fountain Alley, just like how the Ravioli Sign used to do many years ago, or just like how the monster red message sign used to do at the corner of 1st St and Santa Clara St at the old building that had the steeple which used to light up before the Earthquake of 1989. - Edited to add the photo, which shows how the lights of just one restaurant can have a positive impact over the entire downtown area at night and enhance pedestrian circulation: People don't feel the effects when driving by inside a car, but when you are a tourist trying to figure out where to walk at night, the lights make you want to walk there.

So glad I found this place. It was so GOOD! From the amazing service to the fresh fish it was top notch. We will be back for sure.

Got the Omakase and a spider roll. Both were great! Sushi was very fresh and buttery goodness. It is located in middle of downtown SJ so parking was a pain. Service was punctual and friendly. Place was full even at 9pm at night. It has a date night vibe and a late night foodie crowd. We enjoyed our dinner very much.

Lovely arrangement for smaller groups of people. Beautiful decor, excellent service, ambience and delicious food.

The service her is simply amazing. They do a fantastic job. The sushi is absolutely great. I wish they were closer to me. I hope they stay in business for years. Go there you will love it. I can get order and the food comes to me in minutes. Other restaurants are so slow.
