Fuki Sushi in Palo Alto

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 arent wrong.But also, they have Japanese craft beer, Hitachino Nest, one of the varieties was a White Ale. It was delicious.

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.

This restaurant is worth the hype it gets. This was one of the first spots recommended to me when I moved into town. Prices werent 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.

The lady was really nice! The noodle and tempera was good too!

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?

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.

So great quality of food and atmosphere.

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