Decent – Meh, pretty good - seemed more hyped-up to me than anything but not bad.

I'll definitely be back! – I was visiting from Chicago this week,and my friends in Minneapolis met me at Fuji Ya for some sushi and sake.The sake list was very impressive,the service was great,and the sushi definitely surpassed the usual sushi fare I have eaten at home.I know where I'll be visiting again on my next trip to the Twin Cities!

My Favorite! – After living in the Twin Cities for several years,I've tried most of the sushi restaurants in the area,and always return to Fuji Ya.It is the absolute best option for sushi and Japanese food in town.Without a doubt.

go anywhere else, this place is overrated – Officially, Fuji Ya is beyond overrated. I have been here four times now and each time the staff has been rude (excuse me, server? but your art degree isn't changing the fact that you're bringing me fish) the food was mediocre at best and the prices were a joke. This place is annoying.

Blah Waitress Bummed My Birthday Dinner – Last Wednesday I had dinner in the main dining room. A private room was arranged ahead of time and we were sat immediately despite the packed bar and lounge area. This was my second visit. My first experience was in the front room where I had drinks and food with a friend but a terrible waitress, forgetful and unprofessional. I wanted to give Fuji-Ya a second chance. Unfortunately the food was just ok, nothing outstanding, our waitress was just ok, not horrible but very uninterested ... read more

Good sushi and service – I was a little nervous to try Fuji-Ya after reading the past two reviews, however, we decided to give it a try anyway...and I'm glad we did. I know what good sushi should taste like (I frequently eat sushi in Hawaii, California and Seattle) and I can vouch that Fuji-Ya has fresh fish. The yellowtail, white toro, eel, and salmon were all very good. I was disappointed that they were out of blue fin tuna which is my favorite. I wasn't as happy with the scallop, which tasted a little fishy. We also tried... read more

Never again – Both food and service was just horrible. Fish didn't taste fresh and the sushi rice was kind dry. Our server was very unfriendly.

possibly some of the worst sushi I've ever had – I know I know, I couldn't believe it either, especially after reading the reviews contained herein, but... After walking in to Fuji-Ya and noticing that behind the sushi bar resided two young dudes of Mexican persuasion (and I do mean 'dudes'), I kinda knew what I would be in for. The "dudes" didn't disappoint....They dished some horribly weak sushi...the fish was thin and tasteless, the Tako was as rubbery as your grandmothers garter, our waitress was rude and "hurried" even ... read more

No.1!! – The BEST sushi place in town! The service here is awesome and the atmosphere is upbeat. For those that want a little more intimacy, the main dining room is nice and relaxed. I prefer the sushi bar where coversations are abundant and sake bombs are tempting. Food here is top notch and if you are not a sushi lover, there is an awesome black angus tobanyaki (sp) dish that will make you come back for more. If you havn't been here, give it a try!
