    If you are in sushi as a vegetarian, this is great restaurant to try it out. Beautiful ambiance, quality food and service. Would definitely recommend for vegetarian/vegan. Will come back again with more friends.

    Theoretically food was good. We ordered a multiple items including some appetizers, and a wide array of sushi. Fish was fresh, but flavor was lacking a bit. Service was amazing though, so I'd go again and try a different set of sushi.

    Decent quality food and good service. The soft shell carb and Japanese uni are the most tasty dishes.

    This restaurant is worth the hype it gets. This was one of the first spots recommended to me when I moved into town. Prices weren't outlandish, and the sushi was fresh. The service was great. Water refills every time we need and attentive to our needs. Great selection 10/10.

    We made a reservation for 8p on Friday. Not crowded at all. Service is excellent. Waiter is very attentive. We have our own private spot for quiet conversations. I ordered the fired spicy tuna sushi and futomaki sushi. Futomaki sushi is amazing, but fried tuna sushi is very weird. I thought they should fry the entire sushi, but they fried the tuna only. Nevertheless, it’s a good dinner. Will come back to try other dishes.

    Wide variety of sushi, sake, and great sides. Service was fast and friendly. We tried at least a dozen items on the list and everything tasted great. The chicken karage seasoning and flavor was my favorite of the night. You can get your typical sushi rolls here and the fish tasted like it was good quality.

    Certainly a spot worth stopping over, the food is fantastic and well prepared, the cost is convenient and it is consistently clean there. Great work.

  • 5/5 Jeff G. 4 years ago on Google
    Great sushi! Wasn't much of a crowd on a Friday during lunch.

  • 4/5 Olga K. 4 years ago on Google
    Tasty tempura and sake :)

  • 5/5 Sid S. 4 years ago on Google
    Its a hidden gem of a sushi place. Excellent veggie sushi options as well as regular sushi. One thing to note is they are closed on Sundays

  • 4/5 Roger K. 4 years ago on Google
    Great sushi, although portions tend to be on the small side.

  • 5/5 Ignacio A. 4 years ago on Google
    This place never fails to deliver. They serve good dishes for fair prices, there is no waiting time even when the place is loaded.

  • 4/5 Martin B. 4 years ago on Google
    Average sushi restaurant. It was good, but nothing I'd write home about, at least for someone who is used to having a lot of this type of food in Japan or New York. Reasonably priced. This is more or less like Takahachi in NYC.

  • 4/5 Kalle R. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent sashimi. Very artfully and thoughtfully presented. High standard of food. Nice ambience in the dining room. Worth a visit

    Our family went for my daughter's birthday; she wanted sushi and we thought we'd upgrade from our usual place. We regretted it. I'm not sure if it was because we had kids (7 and 4), but the service was pretty bad and the food didn't make up for it. We were seated at the table closest to the entrance, which was ok, but I wondered if it was because we were a family and not the usual corporate crowd on a weekday night. The server was cold (my daughter really wanted to tell someone it was her birthday, but she wasn't friendly enough for us to offer that at any point in our interactions); I had to ask twice for hot tea; when we were told they were sold out of an appetizer, I asked for the menu to see if I might order something else, but it was never brought; and when our items were placed on the table the server pushed some appetizer plates rather abruptly aside with the incoming plates. And oddly, the server didn't seem very familiar with sushi (I asked if they served inari sushi and she responded "what is that?") Between that, and the appetizers being quite disappointing, we won't be back. We ordered the "Kushiyaki Mori," described as rib eye beef and chicken skewers "served with a hibachi grill at your table." The rib eye was overcooked and hard to chew, and it was not served with a hibachi grill at the table; we didn't get an explanation as to why. We thought the kids would enjoy that part so that's why we ordered it -- I saw another table using a mini grill. The highlight was the nigiri sushi -- quality was a notch better than the usual places -- and the rolls we tried were also quite good.

    Delicious sushi! A bit more oily than I am used to, but very tasty ;)

  • 5/5 Simon F. 4 years ago on Google
    Great sushi, and the tatami room was beautifully set up for a business night out

  • 5/5 Qiankun X. 4 years ago on Google
    A fantastic sushi place

  • 5/5 Jeremy B. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent service, great Japanese chef and staff, fresh fish. Thank you!

  • 4/5 KC1 T. 1 year ago on Google
    I took my friend here for his birthday. We ordered two bento boxes with salmon teriyaki and tempura. Both items were excellent but the portions a bit skimpy. While the service was good, I found them a bit slow to get our meals ordered and served. At times it was hard to get their attention because they were so busy. The experience was a bit rushed because their lunch hour was only until 1:30pm. With tips I paid $85 for two bento boxes, nothing else. I guess I would accept a once a year extravagant expense. Till next year?

    Pretty authentic Japanese restaurant. Nice ambience. Good food. Courteous service. Bit on the expensive side for the taste and value. In any case, enjoyed the time.

  • 4/5 Chiara G. 2 years ago on Google
    Tasty sushi! The waitress didn’t seem to understand the menu super well: I was hoping to find out more details about more niche items, but she steered me towards the usual go-tos, which I guess is fine. I’d like to come back and talk to someone who really knows their way around the menu.

  • 5/5 Derek C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great restaurant. Can't go wrong with the sushi (and dessert!) here. This place is kinda fancy, so thus a little pricier. But food is tasty and the staff are very accommodating.

  • 5/5 Steven P. 10 months ago on Google
    This sushi restaurant exceeded my expectations on all fronts. The exceptional food, stellar service, and captivating atmosphere combined to create a dining experience that I will cherish for a long time. If you're a sushi enthusiast or simply someone looking for an unforgettable culinary adventure, this establishment is a must-visit. Prepare to be enthralled by the tantalizing flavors, pampered by attentive staff, and transported to a realm of culinary bliss.

    The rice was really really well made and I loved the ambience. The staff was also really friendly

  • 5/5 Robson S. 11 months ago on Google
    The ambiance is inviting, the service is outstanding, and the presentation of dishes is absolutely stunning. But here's the real kicker— the flavors are mind-blowing! I'm not kidding, it's hands down the best Japanese food I've ever had. Each bite was a flavor explosion. You have to experience it for yourself. It's a culinary journey you won't forget! 😋🍱❤️

    Service is great and the place has very homey vibes, but their food is really just average at best. - chicken yakitori doesn’t look or taste like yakitori. Pretty overpriced considered it had no charcoal flavor at all. - for a la carte nigiri, I got the kanpachi and king salmon. I wouldn’t recommend the kanpachi (texture was a little off), but the king salmon was okay. The cuts were rather small though. - I got Chef Hide’s Special, which was a 6 piece tuna nigiri special with a “poke” appetizer at the time. The marinate tuna was nice and the otoro was very good (but it’s also otoro). The akami with avocado was actually very bad— there was something off about the fish and definitely not fresh. All the others were okay. Overall, it was a little under $100?… I feel like I could’ve gotten much more premium yakitori or sushi for that kind of money at other places. Fuki sushi is probably a 2-2.5 stars for me… but we’ll round up because the staff are so friendly, welcoming, and the service is fast.

    Well, it was kind of a pain to get to this restaurant. But once there, seated, it was an exemplary production. Obviously, you go here because the sushi is amazing. You aren't wrong. But also, they have Japanese craft beer, Hitachino Nest, one of the varieties was a White Ale. It was delicious.

  • 5/5 Grace L. 9 months ago on Google
    The lady was really nice! The noodle and tempera was good too!

  • 5/5 Hrishikesh S. 8 months ago on Google
    Great vibe and dining experience. This is by far the best Japanese food i have had in the bay area. Will definitely try for another visit. Sukiyaki was particularly good. Definitely try their special seasonal menu too.

  • 5/5 Colleen Kelly H. 3 years ago on Google
    The best sushi place in the bay.

  • 5/5 Ed K. 4 years ago on Google
    This spot has great service and delicious meals. My favourite place in the area. The food and drinks served quickly and the prices are fair. Recommended.

  • 5/5 Lucas C. 4 years ago on Google
    I told my friends about this place with my warmest recommendations. I go to this restaurant often. This recommendation is always successful. The dishes they serve are flavorable and the stuff is very friendly and cooperative. Whenever we go to this place we pass a splendid evening. warmly recommended.

  • 5/5 Joon P. 4 years ago on Google
    This place exceeded my expectations. Great service, great atmosphere, amazing dishes. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Jason S. 5 years ago on Google
    On a Sunday night around 6:30pm, service was quite slow due to a heavily packed restaurant. After quick seating, ordering and water took about 15 minutes, tea arrived another 15 minutes after that. Miso soup arrived about 25 minutes after ordering and finally sushi rolls arrived around 45 minutes after ordering. It seemed quite dragged out, especially if you are hungry and have more things scheduled for the evening. The slow turnaround was the only drawback. Atmosphere was nice and sushi was flavorful with good presentation. Pricing was pretty decent, perhaps not the cheapest option for the quality provided, but definitely reasonable. I'd certainly go back for more samples, but also aim for a slower time of day for improved service.

  • 5/5 David M. 5 years ago on Google
    Great service. I highly recommend the sushi variety boat. Lots of fresh flavors.

  • 5/5 Mike F. 5 years ago on Google
    Great sushi. Nice environment. A bit on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for.

  • 4/5 Carey L. 5 years ago on Google
    Great little sushi shop, with an inventive omakase sushi menu. The selection of fish is quite broad, even for Bay area standards, and their spicy scallop sushi was amazing. I also loved that they had a few nice craft beers on tap. Will go back again.

    Amazing hospitality, great atmosphere and phenomenal food.

  • 5/5 Gaurav G. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome food. Am not much into sushi and a vegetarian. Loved the veg sushi and fried tofu. Very nice service.

    Beware of the to-go order. I ordered several meals from this spot. restaurant smashed 3 ordered of sushi into 1 to go container. they also did not provide soy sauce. So not stoked on the whole situation. Sushi is fresh though. No stress there. Just not a fun situation. Edit... Sushi was great. Presentation still no bueno.

    Best sushi place for us in the Bay Area, we love Fuki Sushi — especially for their outstanding service during corona. Sparkling clean, visible disinfection process during the pick up, very friendly and perfectly organized. We appreciate it!

  • 5/5 Christopher M. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is my first choice restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I like it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to this restaurant. everytime I feel like having a special supper, this restaurant comes straightaway to my mind. splendid and many types of food and a rich cuisine.trained crew, and good mood. In addition to that, the bill is good. I praise this restaurant with no hesitation.

    Went here for a work organized sushi making event. It was a great experience, highly recommended. It seems like the sushi chefs here are at the top of their game. I really need to get back here for dinner some time :)

  • 5/5 Brian B. 4 years ago on Google
    I've been here twice and gotten a mix of sushi, sashimi, and sake. All were wonderful, and the service was excellent.

  • 4/5 J J. 4 years ago on Google
    I had the sashimi platter. It was average in quality of fish. A little pricey for the quality. If I were eating based on sashimi, it would be 3 stars. The other dishes were seasoned nicely and executed well. Fried chicken, agedashi tofu, tempura, etc. They bumped my review up to four stars.

  • 5/5 Xenon_Ninja 4 years ago on Google
    Really delicious food, at a pretty reasonable price actually, if you order any soup or entree instead of sushi, it was only as much as the not nearly as good sushi tomo, right behind it. Staff is nice too.
