Fuji Ya is definitely one of the best Japanese restaurants I’ve ever been to. I’m not big on sushi but they had a phenomenal lineup of none-sushi appetizers and entrees. The atmosphere is high-end yet cozy and not hoighty. A perfect place for a nice dinner, dinner date, etc. The drink selection seemed lovely although I didn’t order.

My husband and I tried this place and had high expectations based on the good reviews and ratings. Unfortunately we were both disappointed. We ordered the egg rolls, one sushi roll, two entrees, and two drinks. In our opinion, everyhing was overpriced and wasn’t a good value for the money. The service was extremely slow. Our waitress brought us salad but no forks. When we realized we didn’t have forks, she was nowhere to be found. She didn’t come back to our table until she brought our entrees (25 minutes later) which is when I asked her for forks. She casually said yes and wasn’t apologetic at all. I had a chicken and shrimp tempura entree which was a rip off. There were 2 pieces of shrimp and 3 chicken tenders on the plate with a TON of tempura vegetables. Had I known I was paying $22 basically for a plate of vegetables, I would have ordered something else. My husband had the chicken teriyaki and that was actually really good. It was a good amount of chicken with good flavor. The shrimp tempura sushi roll was just okay. I will say, the presentation of the food was nice. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place, based on the experience. I decided to post this review so others aren’t misled the way we were.

I’ve had a good amount of sushi over years. Tried some good and some that were not that good. I think this place is extremely overrated.

Fuji Ya is by far one of my favorite sushi restaurants in Minneapolis. We love going for happy with a variety of items available. Everything tastes so fresh and they have a great combination of flavors. It’s a great stop of escape for date night!

This is a cute neighborhood place for delicious sushi and other Japanese fare. There chefs do an excellent job. They have a casual/fun bar area and a more quiet restaurant. Nice decor and not too stuffy or formal.

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.

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.

Came here with a friend the other day after passing it so many times on my commute. The food is amazing and the cocktails are great! We got a large platter of sashimi and sushi rolls, and the staff was really great in helping us pick out ones we would like. The atmosphere is nice, too, great for a quick lunch or a nicer dinner.
