Fuji Japanese Cuisine & Sushi Bar - Huntsville, Alabama

William Nessola

Bottom line up front: this is a higher priced 3 star restaurant with great ambiance and soso food.

My family tried this restaurant on Sunday. The plaza where the restaurant is located is usually packed; when we walked in we were the only ones here (which is kind of telling on a Sunday during post-church rush). The restaurant is tastefully decorated and has a good ambiance - it is definitely a nice quiet place to go eat lunch where you can talk or bring a date.

Wife ordered two different choices of sushi lunch special and I got the pork katsu. The kids meals (that aren't chicken and fries) are pretty steep ($8-11), so this turned into a more pricey than usual $70+ meal.

Miso soup was fine, I thought the pork katsu was a little dry. Wife was distinctly not a fan of the sushi - "the salmon was flavorless and tasted like nothing".

Service was good. Waitress was prompt and accurate.

Probably will not be a regular restaurant for us at the cost/quality level.

Came here with the family the other night for dinner. While I wasn't expecting a Michelin-star experience, I certainly wasn't expecting what we got.

The service was friendly, but the food and overall experience left much to be desired. One of our group ordered unsweetened tea (a cardinal sin in the South, bless their heart) and was brought sweetened tea twice before finally getting the correct drink.

When dinner arrived for our party of seven, one order was missing. We had to ask the staff about it and were told there was a kitchen mix-up and the order was being remade. By the time our last member got their food, the rest of us were practically done eating.

The food itself was just alright, but the portions were small. The steak and salmon combo platter had seven tiny pieces of steak and a salmon piece that barely weighed an ounce. The fried rice tasted dry, and while the veggies were okay, they didn't stand out. The salmon skin roll, though not typical in appearance, was good, and the gyoza was decent.

I feel that if I had only ordered sushi, my experience might have been different, but it's hard to say. Overall, I wasn't impressed.

The place is in a plaza and has good parking space available. The miso soup has rich flavor. The soft crab was mostly hard breading. The salmon was good. The atmosphere of the place was ok.

Great service, but I was not a fan of the food at all. Unfortunately I did not take a photo of mine, but I had the teriyaki chicken. The chicken was rubbery and overall did not have a good taste.

My husband had the sushi/sashimi combo and hardly ate any of it. The fish and the sushi roll was cut so thick and was served lukewarm. It took about 10 minutes longer to get his food after mine was brought out.

Overall we were not impressed and would not recommend.

I really wanted to give this place a chance. The Sushi is great, but it could be a more inviting place. They don't seem to be able to keep the same waitress for more than 2 days, and the tables are so sticky. So much so that, on my last visit, I accidentally knocked over my Miso soup while trying to slide it towards me on the table. I felt a little embarrassed, so I made sure to leave a healthy tip for the trouble. But when I came home, I had two charges on my credit card. One for the bill and an additional charge that can only be identified as an extra Miso soup. That was my last visit.

Decent sushi. Yummy gyoza both fried and steamed. Too much sweet sauce on stuff.

They had good sushi, and I also had the Teriyaki steak it was very good and tinder

Fuji has by far the best sushi in Huntsville, AL. The owner takes great pride in the quality of his ingredients and has delicious combinations hard to find at other sushi restaurants. That same quality applies to their kitchen entrees as well. They have a small staff, so if they are busy then expect to wait a while for your food since things are made in the order they are received. But I assure you, the wait is well worth it! Do yourself a favor. Get a Fuji Amazing Roll!!
