Fuji Sushi

If you’re ever strolling through downtown San Jose and craving something fresh, flavorful, and authentically Japanese, Fuji Sushi is one spot you’ll want to check out. Tucked in at 56 W Santa Clara St, this casual sushi joint brings a relaxed vibe with moderate noise, making it perfect for groups, families, or just a chill dinner with friends. The best part? There's outdoor seating, so you can enjoy your sushi in the California sunshine.

Now let’s talk food. Fuji Sushi delivers some seriously satisfying bites. One of the crowd favorites is the South San Jose Roll — it’s got a local flair that regulars swear by. Love classics? The California Roll and Shrimp Tempura are always solid choices. And if you’re into bold, fresh flavors, their Sashimi hits the spot with clean cuts and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Oh, and don’t sleep on the Cherry Blossom Roll — it’s as pretty as it is tasty.

What really makes Fuji Sushi stand out, though, is how it balances quality with a laid-back atmosphere. It’s not pretentious, just good sushi served with care. The staff is friendly, the pace is easy-going, and the menu offers a wide enough variety to please both sushi newbies and seasoned fans.

Whether you're grabbing lunch during a workday or meeting up with a few friends for dinner, Fuji Sushi makes it easy to feel at home while enjoying some of the best rolls in town.

Came here for Valentines, very good experience ! Showed up a little late to my reservation and was still attended on a busy night ! Upon setting we were attended quickly and happily Ordered the South SJ Roll which was delightful with Salmon ! The house sake was great as well especially on cold day ! I love the look of the inside reminds me of those Asian joints you see in movies definitely would recommend and go again ! 9/10

Came here on a Wednesday night after story time at the local library. Had a craving for sushi so I was happy to find a spot close by. We had our toddler in the stroller so it was easier for us to sit outside. I'm sure high chairs were an option but our little guy does better seated in his stroller. The waitresses were so sweet about us sitting outside; preferring us to sit inside but we insisted. They checked in with us frequently to make sure we were ok. WHAT WE ORDERED - sashimi appetizer: great quality, came with 2 salmon and 2 tuna. It was a great option to the roll since I did not want a full plate of sashimi. - teriyaki beef appetizer: great serving side for our toddler and the teriyaki sauce was not too sweet. Our little guy loved it. - spicy edamame: great spice level but too spicy for my personal preference. My husband loved it though. - Alaskan roll: very filling, could do without the mayo sauce on the top - dinner bento w/ short rib, bugolgi, and katsu (miso soup, rice, and salad included): my husband thought the short ribs and bugolgi had good flavor; saved his katsu for lunch the next day. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and would be happy to come back again.

We never really go to downtown San Jose but we had friends in town and they picked this restaurant. We were happy to oblige and try something new. Ambiance: The place is small and cozy. Service: The staff was extremely pleasant and attentive. Food: I usually take better pictures but we were with a big group so I did my best. Also no picture of the bill. - Beef Curry: I ordered the beef curry and it was DELICIOUS! This is something not all Japanese places carry but now that I know they do we'll be going there again. - South San Jose Roll: My wife got this and she said it was delicious. - Tonkatsu Ramen: My younger son got this dish and he enjoyed it. Please be aware it is a HUGE portion so you'll leave with left overs. - Bento Box: My older son got the Chicken Katsu bento and he finished it. I have never seen him absolutely destroy a bento box like this. - Mochi: We got Strawberry and Mango mochi for the adults and the kids and it was a hit!! Price: for 8 people the bill was close to $400 (including tip; we had sake). I'd say the food was on the expensive side but worth it

My introduction to Fuji was with my late friend, Drea. This place will always have a special place in my heart! And what a lifesaver!! My flight got in late, and by the time I checked in, I needed to eat! Looking around on Yelp, Fuji came up and I was like, oh man, YES!!! It's been way too long! Parking can be a challenge. They close at 10, I arrived at 9:20. Cheerful welcome when I walked in. She: Can I get you something to drink? Me: Small hot sake She: The small is like this so maybe the large... And she was right! A young man came to take my order. I got the I Like Eel Roll, which was sooooooo good! And I asked which one should I get, udon or ramen, and he said ramen. Then said the spicy seafood was his favorite so I ordered that. I didn't know a small half crab was going to be in it, and a large mussel...soooooo damn good on a chilly night! Really loved the broth! This is one of the best OG places in San Jose to come to! Definitely worth checking out!

We ordered 2 of their bento boxes and a roll for lunch. Everything was fresh and delicious. They also have a wide variety of daily specials. Will visit again.
