Fuji

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.

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.

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.

Love their Bento box. Every item was fresh and well prepared. The perfect serving sizes. The waitress was super helpful. Service was fantastic. We left a fountain pen on our table and they ran us down before we were a half a block away. Love the decor and the small restaurant feel without feeling crowded in.

Super service, quick with smile. Food is excellent, tasty with quantity. Go for Donburi without hesitation.

They're open for biz!! They recently reopened after being temporary closed for construction. We went today and tried the adam bomb and summer roll. It was the perfect combo and with an icy cold Sapporo. Found a fantastic spot for dinner & drinks. :) We'll be back!

Glad that they reopened. We ordered sushi omakase platter for two. All meat portions are very easy to chew, no chewy texture of the meat (tendon?) in our pieces. This is one of the best sushi we had in downtown San Jose. Highly recommended.

It was better than what I had in Japan 😋

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Very cozy and casual Japanese food experience! Nice variety of dishes, for both fish and non-fish eaters. Also good for people who do not eat raw fish, they definitely have a lot of very good options for everyone. I had the nigiri and sashimi platter, so good and fresh tasting. We ordered a lot and I feel like, everything was good. The food came out in a timely manner with very helpful staff. I would definitely go back and try the other dishes, and would definitely recommend if you're craving good Japanese food!

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

The sushi here was so good and fresh. The wait time was not bad at all, as a party of 2, we only had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated for dinner. The ambiance was nice and I would definitely come back for sushi. The only thing is that since it's located in downtown San Jose, it's extremely hard to find parking, I had to pay $13 for parking in the garage which was unfortunate. Other than parking, this sushi spot is nice and if you're a student at SJSU, this place is very close to campus if you're craving sushi.

I got an omskase plate and it was very fresh, super delicious, and a good size! 10/10

When I lived downtown, I loved getting sushi from Fuji sushi on the way home from work. I was so sad when they suffered a fire, but like a phoenix, it has risen from the ashes! They have finally reopened and how I have missed them! Same friendly staff, same delicious food and of course, ice cold Sapporo. Nothing better than some fresh sake nigiri and a cold beverage! We got some nigiri and a few rolls, Adam bomb, die hard and a south San Jose roll. They were made quickly and the sushi chefs were super friendly. Let's show our support to this hidden gem in DTSJ! Welcome back Fuji, we missed you!

A neighborhood recommended Fuji Sushi, so I decided to try it. My "better half" and I went on a Saturday, arriving shortly after it opened for dinner at 5 PM. Usually, we go to Japan Town, but we can walk to Fuji Sushi since we live downtown. And I must say it's as good, if not better, than any of the sushi restaurants we have tried in the area, and we have tried quite a few over the years.

EveryTHING was superb! Totally recommended! Food, service, ambiance, location! Must try!

I came here years ago before they closed and was excited when they opened back up. Their sushi is amazing and the staff is very friendly. I love this little spot and am glad they reopened. All the decor looks brand new and I highly recommend trying the berry sparkling sake.

This place was really amazing. My boyfriend and I went here today for our anniversary and the service was amazing. They always made sure to refill my tea and always checked to make sure we doing good. The food tasted delicious as well and the lighting and music gave a very nice ambiance. Because it was our anniversary they even surprised us with a sweet treat. Definitely recommend this place especially since they had such a wide variety of food to eat if you don't want sushi.

Best sushi I've had in SJ after living here for a year now! I live nearby so I definitely will be back. Best service, fresh fish, and also great menu / drink selection.

I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional quality of the ingredients. The fish tasted incredibly fresh, with a perfect rice-to-fish ratio. The special rolls we ordered struck an ideal balance, neither overly sweet nor salty. It felt like dining at a Michelin-starred sushi restaurant, and I've experienced a few in both Japan and the US.

Good food. Above average selection. Friendly service. Ordering from the kitchen offerings (included in price) make it worth doing.

I I had lunch with a colleague. I ordered the bento box with salmon teriyaki and tempura. There was a very generous portion of salmon for the salmon teriyaki.. the tempera is quite excellent. They have a very large prawn they put into Mixed tempura. The Rental box includes a salad, white rice and miso soup. This is probably the best deal in downtown San Jose.

It was a date night and originally I had made reservations at Sushi Confidential and when I had read up on their latest reviews re: staff and service I immediately canceled and booked with Fuji. I'm so happy I did! EVERYTHING from the moment we walked in we were warmly greeted, service was amazing, and the rolls were the best I've had in a long time. I would also recommend the spicy edamame and their Japanese nachos! This place is such a gem in San Jose!

I love my sushi! Fuji sushi first timer as of Monday 9/30. We arrived before they opened so we walked around a little and came back right at 5:00 pm. We were greeted with a smile and asked if we wanted sushi bar or table. We chose the sushi bar. They have so many options! We did the Hamachi crunch roll, lion king roll, torro, wagyu, jalapeno bombs and I know that there were a few other rolls but I can't remember them. We started with a Sapporo and waters, the jalapeno bombs are so tasty! The heat is strong with them as they are fresh jalapenos. I couldn't stop eating them though. All of our rolls were fresh, and tasty! The service was great. Our waitress was on top of everything! From drink refills to our check when we were ready. I loved the decor of Fuji Sushi! It was cute. They have smaller tables, the sushi bar and larger tables. They even have outdoor seating in front. We will definitely be back. Thanks, Fuji!

Food was amazing. Staff was very attentive and helpful. Overall, an outstanding experience. I highly recommend this establishment.

I've been waiting for this place to open since before Covid and I was finally able to visit and everything tasted exactly as delicious as I remember.

Two words: I don't like fish and the service was fishy also downtown san hose is scary and the liverwurst was the worst liver I've ever seen but my waiter Geof was the most amazing person if i could rate 10 stars i would
