So 5 PM rolled around and I hadn't eaten anything other than a bowl of cereal all day, but thanks to Yelp's "surprise me" wheel, I was soon enjoying takeout from Fancy Sushi, a place I've driven past but never had the pleasure of trying. It was indeed a pleasure - and surprise - to see a container of FREE tempura kani in my takeout bag, alongside the sushi and fried rice that I ordered. The sushi deluxe was fantastic and included a California roll plus eight pieces chosen by the chef; I lucked out with tuna and salmon, plus a few pieces of mystery white fish that were quite tasty as well. The side order of chicken fried rice made me wonder how big the regular portion is, because I could only eat half. The chicken was well cooked and glazed with a lightly sweet sauce. Also in my bag was a container of clear miso and a small salad, plus a few sauces and a fortune cookie. Ordering was easy and straightforward and it was ready to go when promised, with friendly service. Fancy Sushi is definitely on my list of local faves now, and next time, I'll bring a friend and try the dine-in experience. read more

Food is really good not too expensive got 4 different rolls for just $40. Ambiance is also great really peaceful and clean.

On Sunday evening we stopped by Fancy Sushi for dinner. I was surprised to find that the entire restaurant had no one dining inside. The inside has some tables, they also have an outdoor patio with additional seating, however it is much too cold for dining outside at this time. Despite not having anyone else dining, they did have some folks pick up their to go orders. The menu features sushi, hibachi, tempura and ramen. We decided to go for the Sushi and Sashimi Party. These typically come in a boat, and can usually feed up to four. We also ordered soups. Our order arrived with salads. This was very fresh, it arrived in an assortment of tuna and salmon, with sashimi and rolls. This was unfortunately far too small for our party of three. It did arrive on a small boat with an orchid, the presentation was lovely. While the sushi was very fresh and flavorful, we were let down by the small portion size and the filler space. read more

I tried fancy sushi for the first time today and it was ok. First of all what was good was the special sushi roll I ordered. The chef made me a special special roll with mango and spicy salmon. It was absolutely delicious and I wish I stopped there. Unfortunately I tried the hibachi lunch special and it was just not great at all. I asked for hibachi noodles and they tasted so weird and didn't have the normal consistency noodles are supposed to have and the flavor was way off. The service was fine, the interior was clean and trendy, I just wish the food was as good. The sushi was amazing though, so try it if you're in the area. read more

Fancy Sushi - Spicy salmon mango roll, delicious! - Japanese Near Me - Berlin, Connecticut

We got a variety of rolls: salmon avocado, spicy tuna, Philadelphia, and shrimp tempura. We also got crab rangoons. The salmon avocado maki was perfect, melt in your mouth delicious. The spicy tuna was ok, they added tempura to it and it wasn't called crispy spicy tuna so we were thrown by that and it wasn't spicy at all and I have a very low spice tolerance. The Philadelphia roll was extremely disappointing. It was imitation crab and cream cheese instead of smoked salmon cucumber and cream cheese and we hate imitation crab so this was pretty terrible...we have ordered a Philadelphia roll from many sushi places and this was the first time someone strayed from the norm so was really annoying. The shrimp tempura roll was weird..idk if its just because we got takeout, but it seems like they took the tops/ends off of it and put them in a separate box...we were confused and thought we got the wrong order at first. The tops were pretty good because they were just fried shrimp covered in sauce. The roll itself was decent, but not crispy enough. Ans pretty small for shrimp tempura. The crab rangoons were OK. I appreciated the star shape which is objectively the best crab Rangoon shape, and the sauce was a nice spicy/sweet plum sauce. But the rangoons themselves were almost sickening sweet so I wasn't really a fan. My partner thought they were OK but agrees they were too sweet. Overall, not super impressed. The salmon avocado roll was great, but not sure it is enough for us to want to go back. read more

We really tried to give it a good shot but unfortunately this sushi restaurant fell short. Besides the service, which was very friendly everything else was not good. The restaurant itself was spacious and appeared clean. My Husband and I ordered a Ramen and it actually came out lukewarm. Soup is supposed to be hot, right? We mentioned it to the female owner and she offered to bring us some fresh hot broth... I don't know where they were getting the broth from, but it was far from hot. And honestly, lacked a ton of flavor besides salt. I also hate when places give you a hard boiled egg in Ramen. After the second time, we just gave up. Now let's talk about the sushi... we ordered two rolls New York Roll and Godzilla rolls. Honestly, my pictures are deceiving. The rolls look pretty good, but everything about them just tasted off. The Godzilla was our least favorite - (Imitation)Spicy Tuna Deep Fried.w.Eel Sauce Spicy Mayo Sauce.Spicy crab Masago Crunchy & scallion On Top $14.95. The inside tasted mushy and not fresh. The New York roll - (Raw)(Imitation)Shrimp Tempura & Tuna Inside.Avocado, Crab & Tobiko On Top.Served w.Chef Sauce $16.95 was just plain and bland, even with the spicy mayo on top. They kept offering us takeout boxes which we respectfully declined. We are sushi connoisseurs and there is much better sushi places here in Connecticut. We wanted to like this place so bad because next-door is one of our favorite Pho spots - The Pho Bar. Unfortunately, we more than likely would not return. read more

Dropped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised with the presentation of the sashimi lunch! The fish was very fresh and beautifully plated and generous servings. The service was so friendly and food came out pretty quickly. The ambience is very modern and quiet and enjoyable. Will definitely stop by if we aren't in the air again! read more

This has been on my radar since they opened. Finally made time to go here for a late lunch and happy I did! First of all the restaurant feels very clean (probably helps that it's new). Our host/server was super nice and helpful. They bring out complimentary tempura crab and soup as soon as you sit down which I thought was a nice touch. They have lunch specials but we ended up ordering specials that weren't on it - wish she mentioned the specials but I guess we should have read the menu better to know. Oh well, our loss. The sushi was delicious and tasted fresh. They have a ton of great options and I would definitely return to get some again. It's a little out of my way but it is good enough to drive a little bit further. read more

Fancy Sushi has quickly become one of my absolute favorite spots to swing by in the middle of the workday for lunch! Their lunchtime specials are such great deals--$14.95 for 3 rolls, plus some free tempura kani with every order as a treat? It's a great deal! I tend to snag the shrimp tempura roll, philadelphia roll, and sweet potato roll for lunch. This comes with tempura kani, clear soup, and a salad! It's a huge meal for just under $15! I also tend to get wasabi shumai, which is DELICIOUS here. The shrimp tempura roll and sweet potato roll are both perfectly fried and delicious. The philadelphia roll is made with kani and cream cheese, which I adore. The restaurant itself is a pleasant, nice place to be in (with some fun gacha machines!) and the waitstaff are incredibly kind and speedy with their service. Overall, this place is a lunchtime staple for me! I come by every time I'm in the mood for sushi. Wonderful prices and wonderful food. read more

This was my first visit at Fancy Sushi and went for the lunch Special on a Sunday by 3 pm. I was greeted, friendly faces. The restaurant is lovely. Very modern and open. Even has tables outside! What brought me in to try was that they had GF options. Not listed on the menu but they were able to make certain dishes GF and they had gluten free soy sauce. The sushi rolls were very good! Very fresh. I chose basic rolls. For hibachi portions were big. Noodles were very good and gluten free. They gave me steamed rice since fried rice was not an option as Gluten free. The protein for meat wasn't a lot and lacked some flavor everything else was good. Salad and soup tasted great. I'd def return and try something else! Great lunch and dinner options with a wide variety From sushi, to hibachi to Ramen, Noodles, Katsu and more! . read more

I've been looking forward to Fancy Sushi's opening in the old Boss Grill space. The inside is completely transformed. Fancy Sushi is instantly one of the nicer looking sushi restaurants in the Greater Hartford area. There are about twenty tables of different sizes, plus a sushi bar with tall chairs. There are tall ceilings, walls with different cool textured designs. The space has a very modern, clean feel and my eyes were drawn to artistic accents and light fixtures across the room. Service was very friendly and efficient. Fancy Sushi has a good team in place to handle larger crowds once the word gets out. Sushi is a focus, but the menu items include Hibachi, Katsu, Japanese apps, Ramen, Noodles, etc. I ordered the Triple Color Roll from the speciality maki menu and the Fancy Crisp Spicy Tuna from the Apps menu. Both were gorgeously plated and I suspect that will be a strength. The Fancy Crisp Tuna, to my surprise, was essentially an elegant sushi-fied jalapeno popper. They were served on a long plate and included jalapeño's, cream cheese, spicy tuna, caviar, scallions, sesame and sauce. If you're on the fence about jalapeños, this one was pretty mild. It was a cool dish. The Triple Color Special Roll was a shrimp tempura roll with some raw fish (spicy tuna, salmon, tuna and Yellow tail) as well. Beautifully plated and sauced. It tasted good. I've been to outstanding CT sushi places in the past year. Fancy Sushi isn't quite at that level in terms of taste and texture at this point, but I can confidently say that they're one of the better sushi places in the greater area. I live nearby, and I will definitely be back for both dine in and takeout. If I could give Fancy Sushi a 4.5, I would. Since I can't, this feels more like a round down than round up situation. But this is an enthusiastic 4 Star review in any event. read more

I haven't had this good of a meal from a new Japanese restaurant in a long time. Many restaurants have already come in and out of this new-ish plaza that is conveniently yet not conveniently located on the Berlin side of the Berlin Turnpike. Not much to do on this side except shop for an Acura or cross the street and go to Home Depot but if you want good sushi, it's worth coming down to Fancy Sushi. I was able to try various sushi rolls, appetizers their Steak Hibachi Dinner and a few desserts. I was disappointed with zero (0) of these dishes. To start off, I had a taste of a special Crab Tempura topped with a cheese sauce, Mushroom Soup, Wasabi Shumai, Tuna Tataki and Beef Tataki. Everything was great and I decided to be a little adventurous with the Beef Tataki. The beef was tender and it had an amazing flavor to it. While raw-ish beef is definitely not an American comfort food, I was definitely comfortable eating this because it was prepared so well. Moving on to the sushi, I noticed the menu itself had quite a wide variety which was really refreshing to see. Blue Crab Meat in one (1) of my special rolls and to see Lobster Tempura in a basic roll, unheard of around here. On top of that, all the sushi I ate was of great quality and was prepared quite nicely. I had to try their hibachi and I went with the Steak Hibachi Dinner. The steak tender and juicy, plus it was cooked exactly how I wanted it. The vegetables were well seasoned and not overcooked and the fried rice/hibachi noodles were good enough to be its own meal. To end it all, I was able to taste some Green Tea Ice Cream, Mango Mochi Ice Cream, Vanilla Tempura Ice Cream and Fried Oreos. The Tempura ice cream was almost cakey in a good way with a nice crispy/chewy exterior layer. The Fried Oreos were prepared well as they weren't a boat for frying oil and the other ice creams were simply good quality. Well clearly there's a wide and unique variety of food backed by quality here at Fancy Sushi. I am glad that the sushi was indeed fancy as the name states. On top of that, the interior of this restaurant was clean, modern and simply refreshing fit for hot summer days. They even have outdoor seating if that's what you're into. The service was friendly, quick and attentive as well. In conclusion, I was impressed with the quality of food I received. This plaza has been nothing but a place for restaurant owners to take a gamble as quite a few restaurants in this plaza have come and gone within the last couple years alone. With the quality of the meal I just had paired with the reasonable price point, I hope Fancy Sushi is a permanent option here on this side of the Berlin Turnpike. A much needed permanent Sushi option for the Berlin Turnpike in general. read more

Ambiance was cute and service was good I did a pick up order. She did ask if I needed help because I had two bags plus my lil one in my arms. So they get the good scores for that. Let's get into what we really hear for, long story short this wasn't my cup of tea no lie, (taking accountability) I over ordered leading to me wasting my money... But truth be told there wasn't anything that I ordered that had me in a chokehold. The yakitori and the fancy crunchy spicy tuna was nice, just an Asian version to a jalapeño popper In my opinion. Food was mid, honestly wasn't a fan and I'm not going to go too in-depth. This wasn't for me but it might be for you, can still give them a try, don't hurt to try. Just don't over do it like me lol. read more

Fancy Sushi - Blue Crab Roll, Lobster General Roll, and Spicy Crab Roll - Japanese Near Me - Berlin, Connecticut

There's so many good things to say about Fancy Sushi.. the newer kid on the block a.k.a. turnpike you'll always be greeted with a smile. The staff and owner, Jay, bring good energy. The interior is quite large and modern by most sushi restaurant standards. Therefore, it's comfortable and can serve many at the same time. There are so many options on this menu everything from sushi to Ramen to hibachi and more. Sushi is top-notch and having now gone a few times is always consistent. My favorite is the unicorn roll,so far. Ramen hits the spot however there are so many Ramen options in the area that solely focus on that, I may stick with sushi and more traditional Japanese here. I also love their Katsu and appetizers and they have a decent selection of sake. Definitely recommend everyone check them out and tell them Sally sent you! read more

Fancy Sushi recently opened and we couldn't wait to give them a try. We frequent in the Berlin area often and this spot will be added to our lunch rotation. We dined in and the restaurant was really nice, open, and modern. There was beautiful blue marble tile and geometric panels on the walls around the restaurant. There is outdoor seating too if that's something you enjoy. They also do carry-out as well which we might take advantage of later. While I love sushi, my husband does not and happy to report Fancy Sushi has a lot of hot kitchen options. My mother was with us too who also doesn't eat sushi. They have hibachi, teriyaki, and Katsu dishes which are some of his favorites. They have ramen, udon, and hot appetizers too. The sushi selection is very large with regular rolls, sashimi, entrees, a la cart items, and specials rolls. Even though the menu had many options, I liked how it wasn't overwhelming. Our server was super nice and attentive. We happen to be the only group dining in the restaurant (it was 2:30 in the afternoon) He promptly brought us complimentary clear soups and shrimp tempura. We started with a couple of apps, Edamame and Crisp Rice. The Crisp Rice was sushi rice that's been deep fried and topped with spicy tune. It was delicious and the rice had a great crunch. For our meals, my husband and my mother ordered hibachi. The protein portions on their places were generous combined with mixed vegetables like zucchini and broccoli. It was served with both noodles and fried rice which they liked. I ordered the Triple Colors Roll. All their rolls sounds so delicious, but I knew I could only eat one by myself. The Triple Colors Roll had a little bit of everything; shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, tuna, salmon and yellowtail, wrapped in soy paper with eel sauce and spicy mayo. The presentation was beautiful and can't wait to see how other sushi rolls are placed in the future. This cured my sushi craving. We really enjoyed our time and meals at Fancy Sushi that my husband even agrees with this five star rating. It's a huge plus for us that the menu has variety. read more

We were greeted as soon as we came in the entrance and had a very attentive server. They still had a grand opening sign with balloons hanging from the ceiling. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food and I was able to try some of the hibachi dish. The eel in the roll has plentiful, which is tough to get in my places and had great taste and texture. The noodles in the vegetable hibachi had a different flavor than you might normally have, but I was a big fan, also great texture. My 10 year old son crushed the entire Ramen bowl, so that completed the successful visit. read more

Every time I come here, I know something is going to be wrong. Any roll you're accustomed to ordering is actually not what you're ordering here? It seems the person who made the menu said "traditional sushi? no thanks" in the worst way possible. A basic philadelphia roll, isnt a philadelphia roll. They use crab.... Never have I ever. Even when you ask for the philly roll w/ salmon--they mess it up. I ordered a simple volcano roll this evening & it's not "traditional".. I wouldn't have ordered it if I didnt know what was going to be in it--But I enjoy volcano rolls, so I ordered one. I was sadly mistaken. Also, a philly roll is a philly roll because you use philadelphia cream cheese...this place uses store brand & while there's potential to be good, they take cheap shortcuts, revise every roll known to man in terrible ways and decide against being good. Or even, normal plain lackluster sushi. They choose disappointing you instead. read more

We wanted to try Fancy Sushi since we pass by all the time. The inside was really modern and nice so that was a great first impression. The service was great, servers were attentive and even gave out a free appetizer after we ordered. We had the crispy tuna appetizer and it was very unique. The only way to describe it was that it is a Japanese version of a jalapeño popper fill with spicy tuna and cream cheese. We enjoyed it but my husband had a couple pieces that were really spicy, I didn't get any really spicy pieces. We also had the kani salad which was nice and light with cucumbers and crab with spicy sauce. My husband ordered 3 rolls. My meal was the 10 piece sashimi appetizer. The fish was fresh and the cuts were thick. Compared to other sushi places, I felt we got a lot of food for the price. We love that this is now the closest sushi place to us so we will be back to try some more dishes. read more

I was craving sushi and came across this new resturant called Fancy Sushi. I pulled up and noticed that they recently opened. Wait staff were extremely polite and helpful. The décor it was very nice. The marble wall seemed a little out of place, but it did act character. I order fried oysters and thr fire island roll. They also gave me two complementary appetize, a miso soup and uh tempur fried crab meat with mayo and their special sauce. The miso soup was a little salty, but that's to be expected the crab tempura was really good and not over cooked. The fried oysters came and they were piping hot. They came with a nice dipping sauce, but I tried them by themselves and almost burned my tongue l o l. After recovering from my second degree, burn in my mouth.I tried it with the sauce and it took it to a whole other level. I've been at the Fire Island road, which was very good. Especially for the first time, we have. Presentation of the the role could have been done a little better. I would have liked to see them separate to show what is on the inside. Overall, this place is a great find, especially for just opening up. I will definitely be back with the some friends. read more

Had dinner this evening when my friend and I saw this new place! As soon as we walked in we were greeted and the host asked us if we wanted a table outside or inside. We opted for a booth inside. The waitstaff was very friendly and as we browsed the menu the waitress brought over soup compliments of the chef! Then brought over a complimentary appetizer! My friend and I each ordered a sushi roll and then the chicken and pork katsu, which came with a salad with a nice citrus dressing. The katsu came with fried rice and roasted veggies. The portion was huge that we only had a few bites since we were full from our sushi rolls and apps. Katsu was nicely breaded and the veggies and rice were good.

I went in with my daughter, we had a few rolls which were great but the chicken in the hibachi was horrendous, my daughter asked if it was fish ? So I said maybe you just got a wonky bite? no the chicken was rubber, unrecognizable as chicken from the inside. We sent it back, it was returned to us after being cooked more..we couldn't eat it. The waiter said it comes like this from a bag and the manager wasn't in so there was nothing he could do.
