Fuji Ya - Minneapolis

Decent quality sushi! Nice ambience on both sides of the restaurant (there 's a quieter, dimly-lit side, and a casual side with brighter lighting and good overhead music. The help is exemplary. Patient and professional. Real 'feel-good ' attitudes, throughout the place. Super-clean bathrooms. Price is fair. Value is good. Happy Hour is a bargain! Well done, Fuji Ya. I will return.

The ambience was perfect. For groups seeking a pleasantly situated happy hour in a cozy little lounge fixed with a bar and sushi counter on each side of the room, look no further. Larger groups however would more likely be situated in the dining room, which is much larger and has louder music. As for my group of three, we were just in time for happy hour, receiving our drinks quite timely given the amount of people in the room. When it came to our food, we each had ordered about 2 rolls a piece, but service took quite long, even for sushi. The reason I ranked five stars given this discrepancy is because the quality was superb. I would have liked to see more attentive service when it came to refilling my Coca-Cola, but I also appreciate the lack of an overeager server; the one who asks how everything is right as you take a huge bite? To summarize, Fuji Ya has something for sushi lovers, happy hour humans, and solo eaters alike. Definitely worth the trade off over all you can eat places.

3.5 actually. The apps were good. We tried the calamari, gyoza and the tuna tartar, I like this one best. I ordered the seafood tempura dinner and my daughter ordered the fuji ya special bento. Just a note, the tempura dinner is a lot. Both of these items are nothing to brag about. We ordered some sushi items but for me, they all taste the same wherever you are. Then we ordered dessert (forgot the name) but, the chocolate roll is so dry. I'd only go back for the tuna tartar.

Good quality sushi! Beautiful ambience on both sides of the restaurant (there is a quieter, dimly-lit side, and a casual side with bright lighting and good overhead music. The help is exemplary. Patient and professional. Real 'feel-good' settings, everywhere. Super clean bathroom. Price is fair. Value is good. Hour is a bargain! Well done, Fuji Ya.

I love this place. I cant necessarily speak for rush hours, but 8pm dining and beyond find Fuji Ya very warm and serene if you’re seated in the dining room. I love the lighting and burgundy coloring in the evening. If you can make it onto the patio, it’s quite charming during warmer months. The menu is extensive and very good—a little pricey, but worth it. Service is standard, slows down a bit later in the evening, but not to a complete detriment. I would say this restaurant is a great choice for low-key sushi night and low-lit romantic conversation.
