Fuji is such a welcome gem in Grand Rapids. A full-on sushi and Japanese restaurant on the Iron Range, open seven days a week, which already puts it in rare-company territory. The menu has a solid balance of sushi and sashimi alongside cooked kitchen dishes, all at very reasonable prices for the quality and variety. The staff is consistently welcoming and friendly, which makes dining here feel relaxed and comfortable whether you're stopping in for a quick meal or sitting down for something more leisurely. The chicken katsu deserves a special shoutout. It's a generous portion, perfectly crispy, and genuinely delicious. One of my favorite things is how much my young son loves coming here. He enjoys ordering a variety of sashimi, served one piece per order. It would be nice if it were two pieces per order, but the quality makes up for it. They even offer uni, which is a rare and much-appreciated treat, especially in this part of Minnesota. If you're craving sushi or Japanese food on the Iron Range, Fuji is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended. read more

Fuji - Captain America and sunny - Teppanyaki Near Me - Grand Rapids, Minnesota

This place is a small spot. I was a little iffy at first when we walked in. Was up in the area for work and we happened to find this spot. For my surprise.... the sashimi actually tasted pretty darn good for a sushi spot up here in the northern area lol. Had no fishy smell no nothing. Nice thick cut, Wasabi was strong, ginger tasted fresh. Of course I ate every single veggie on the tray!. The shumai,gyoza, and grilled squid tasted good. It was like any other sushi spot I have been to. I was mainly there for the sashimi anyway and I approve!. I don't do rolls, so you'll have to try that out yourself. Oh..... we are going back again haha read more

Our experience with dinner was a mixed bag - 3 stars. Two of us stopped in for dinner and we sat at the front sushi bar. I ordered 2 tuna based sushi rolls and my friend got a shrimp tempura dinner with 2 sides. I topped things off with green tea flavored mochi ice cream. GOOD: Our food was very good, no complaints whatsoever. It came out quickly. And our server was very friendly. I really enjoyed watching their young children (very cute!) helping with some menial tasks in the front of the house. Finally, I felt the prices were reasonable. NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: Our server was very, very slow...friendly...but slow as hell. In fact, we had to flag her down every time we needed something, like when we ordered, when we needed beverage refills, when we wanted our tabs, etc. Kinda lame since it wasn't busy and I counted at least 3 employees. Since we sat at the front bar, I was able to watch food prep. I observed several unsafe food handling practices. In addition, there were fruit flies hovering all over the place. This was very concerning. I never would have seen this stuff if we sat at a table. (As a certified ServSafe Manager, I'm fully trained on basic safe food handling practices.) I don't want to pick on them or get into more detail on the food handling thing. But personally, I don't think I'd eat here again. (If I hadn't happened to see the food handling issues, I would have gone with 4 stars.) Despite my concerns, I'm being generous and going with 3 stars because the food tasted so good and the employees were so nice. -Maxx read more

Quaint restraint. My hubby and I visited the area from Duluth, MN. Was excited to see a sushi place in the area. We tried out a couple of the chefs rolls and were really bummed out that there wasn't any tobiko on our roll that had it listed on the menu. When we asked about it the waitress said they don't have tobiko, but then turned back around and said, 'we know it's on the menu but people don't like it so we just stopped putting it on the roll'. The only reason we picked that roll is because it was one of the only ones with tobiko listed as an ingredient. Sushi tasted fine but the experience with the waitress rubbed us the wrong way. read more

Very good sushi, especially for a smaller town up north! Everything we had was very good! I brought a group of extended family here for lunch and everyone enjoyed it fully! The food was great, the service fast and friendly, and a nice atmosphere. We started with the edamame and gyoza. Both were polished off immediately. We then moved on to an American Roll, Shrimp Tempura Udon, Chicken Teriyaki Box, Tuna Avocado roll, Veggie tempura roll, Spicy Tuna roll, Alaska roll, Ell Avo roll, Tuna scallion roll, and one order of the sashimi. Nothing was left on anyone's plate and our party ranged in ages from 66 to 8. Personally I had the Tuna Avocado and Veggie Tempura rolls. I enjoyed both and the tuna avocado was excellent! I also really enjoyed their gyoza. Another nice touch was they serve ice cold Kirin Ichiban beer! Everyone agreed we'd be back for a return visit for sure! A very solid choice in Grand Rapids! read more

Fuji has GREAT SEAFOOD. It's nice cozy and quiet. There food is great so good except there service is okay. It's so quiet but it's super expensive like $137.07 for me. And kids work there and you can watch them make seafood it's really cool. read more

What a discovery! We did not expect to find this quality of sushi in this little town, but it was fantastic! Our biggest recommendation: the Mango Magic! read more

Back again. This place is great. We have a cabin 1 hour away and being from California, we love sushi. Thank you grand Rapids read more

Diamond in the ruff! Big city quality sushi in small town Grand Rapids, MN. A must stop AND try. Very comparable to metro sushi with a full blown Menu and nice wine. This is a must try! We will be back. Well worth the stop!! We had the junky monkey, earthquake and king lobster roll. We also had app seafood soup which was amazingly good and fried calamari. Super friendly, we would duplicate our order as it was so good. Thank you! read more

I've been coming here for years and it's my favorite place to eat in town. I love their rolls, sashimi, ramen, and veggie tempura. The service is friendly and usually quick. I enjoy eating here and picking up their food to go. read more

Very unhygienic. Check out the bathrooms before you order your food you'll find out very fast how gross it is.

Location - 4/5 could do with abit more space. I don't like hearing other people's conversations over my own. Food- 3/5 don't get me wrong the streak was soo good! The appetizers were delicious but the sushi was under cooked and not cleaned well. And seeing as it's a sushi bar, they should not get a full 5. Service 3/5 They were there when i needed help but they weren't kind or anything refreshing, also the dish washer would come out and would smell awful. (I get it not his fault) but come on. Bad Oder is bad service. read more

I love this place if you want the best sushi in the area. They are always fresh and delicious. The spicy scallop rolls are delicious

Great to find sushi in Grand Rapids!! Was here for weekday lunch. Fantastic shrimp tempura bento box!! Loved the tempura squash. Definitely will be back. read more

The best sushi and sashimi in the grand rapids, mn area! They close in the middle of the day which made it difficult to stop here when we we're passing through town going up north. Also, the service could have been better. Overall our experience was good. I highly recommend this place especially since it's very difficult to find good sushi in MN o utside of the Twin Cities. read more

This place needs to be on the map for anybody making a stop in grand rapids! They are serving up righteous sushi rolls and some other killer entrees! The chefs here are next level and the eats they're putting out are dynamite. I had the empire and the AK-47 rolls and they were the bomb.com tasty amigo. This is a must-try for anybody looking to take a quick trip to flavor town. read more

Excellent and well priced lunch options. Great service. Four stars because you can't find sushi anywhere else. I wouldn't give it a four star sushi rating in the greater metropolitan area probably more like three stars but because it's up north and there's nothing else like it and the staff is amazing I give it four stars. We've been there several times and our son enjoys it as well. Quaint little place overlooking the river. read more

This place is good when they actually have sushi. It's been 2 weeks and they're "out of sushi" I just think the chef doesn't come in and he's the only one that knows to make sushi. Its absolutely bullshit, go to work and make money and make it a good place to eat. read more

This was a very good little sushi restaurant in northern Minnesota. Drove an hour to get there and was not disappointed. Good quality, good value, nice atmosphere. Plan to return in the near future as sushi is a rare commodity this far north. Menu was quite extensive and chef quite helpful with answers to our menu questions. read more

Lunch specials were very good; the mushroom broth soup was fantastic! Tofu teriyaki and tempura shrimp roll was delicious.

This place is great! I've lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 15 years and eaten sushi all over the country, so I was hesitant about "small town" sushi. I was pleasantly surprised at both the quality and variety of what's offered here. We got gyoza, miso, tri-color sashimi, and 4 different rolls. Everything was delicious! I'll definitely be back, and soon. read more

I actually worked here part time. Aside from moving the floor mats at night to mop the floors. I've never seen anyone clean, except the one female server whom cleans the restrooms, the tables, the restaurant floor. Takes Togo orders, this restaurant is clearly understaffed. The main waitress is also the janitor, the floor staff. (Which they never let me take tables) I'm a 20 year veteran server. I can walk circles around their skewered customer service approach. Having applied as a server, with prior sushi experience, not being Chinese I was told "ahh no. No . No ." Well guess what? I quit. I will not eat their food because I'm scared they may contaminate my food in particular because of their lack of compassion, and finally their willingness to stab their employees in the back. Stay away from this place. The food may be ok. But the service and management is the worst possible. Don't waste your time. read more

Let me start by saying this place used to be 5 stars across the board, but the last two times were just about an F, so I've got to even out the score. My dining partner and I showed up at about 6:30pm, with the restaurant half full. We were seated immediately and orders taken almost as quickly - an appetizer and 2 sushi rolls. After 40 minutes, the server told us the food would be up shortly; they got hit with a rush (note: the party of 3 that came in 15 minutes after us were served their sushi). In those 40 minutes, there was no other communication or no refilling of our empty waters. 5 minutes later, the server tells us that they're out of the appetizer we ordered, so we picked something else. After 55 minutes of waiting from the time we place our order, our two rolls come out. 10 minutes later, our appetizer shows up. The food was ok -- the sushi was rushed, sloppy, and without the delicate character it usually has. We decide to take the bill and scrap the experience as a loss. I use the restroom while my dining partner settles up the bill. I come back out and we put our coats on. Then I realize that we still haven't got the check, and the server is nowhere in sight. She comes back about 5 minutes later from a cigarette break and asks how we're doing. We get our check and bounce. It seems they're having some staffing issues, as there's been a bit of turnover that I've noticed. They need an A team that is going to hustle, create a quality product, and treat the customers well. They started off that way, and I miss that. We used to drop an easy $80 when we'd go there. These past 2 times, it's hovered around $30. read more

As frequent visitors (we have a lake home nearby) I am surprised and embarrassed to find that this restaurant has been in business for two years and today was the first time we'd tried it. It is in kind of an awkward office building near the courthouse but the space is actually very nice, overlooking the library and the river. This was formerly the location of a nice dinner place ("Rivers") that also wanted to be a wine bar. It lasted for a number of years but finally failed. I am not an expert in Japanese food, though I have eaten a lot of sushi and sashimi on trips to Japan, but this place IMO serves up delicious stuff. We were there for lunch; I had a special they called "Penguin" which included a couple of tempura shrimp built into sushi and four pieces of sushi with spiced tuna innards and a wrap of smoke salmon. Excellent. My wife had a bento box lunch teriyaki chicken with salad, miso soup, and a couple of sushi varieties, one hot and one cold. Also very good, though the chicken was a little dull. (Chef: More flavor!) The wasabi that came with the meals was fairly hot, definitely hotter than Minnesota standard, but not so hot that it watered our eye when we got near it. Just about right, in other words. We'll be back! We're glad that they survived long enough for us to find them and hope to help them survive into the future. Grand Rapids has always had respectable steak-house type food (Forest Lake) and, currently, good Mexican (El Potro) but finding something like this is a huge boost to food variety in town and real treat. Our lunch, with soda and iced tea, was $27.50 plus tip. read more

Wow! Visiting from LA and the sushi here is amazing! The AK 47 is delish as well as the spicy tuna avocado roll. So happy we've found our sushi home away from home! Loves. read more

We had lunch here today. I was pleasantly surprised. There are not many restaurants in the Grand Rapids area that I want to go to now that The Sawmill is closed. Plus great ethnic food in northern Minnesota is hard to come by (El Potro is a good choice ). Fuji is better than my neighborhood Japanese restaurant in St Paul. I will definitely come back. He fish was fresh, the presentation was lovely and we had good service. I had the lunch special with 2 rolls. My daughter had udon. Another member of our party had the sashimi, which had a great selection. The only negative was that the miso soup was weak tasting. read more

My favorite place to eat in Grand Rapids. I haven't had anything I didn't love. The AK47 is amazing!

This is a great sushi restaurant. I went here for lunch and the lunch special is great two rolls with a tofu soup and salad with a type of vegetable salad dressing(really good, for a person that doesn't like vegi stuff). The price for the lunch special is $8.95 which is good for the amount of food. I can't agree with Kiwi G. the food was good and the service was great. read more

I've been here 2 times in the last week. The first time I had the Shrimp Tempura and the second I had sushi. The tempura batter was very good, not at all soggy. The sauce was a bit lacking in flavor. We also had gyoza which was very good. My husband had steak and shrimp hibachi which he liked a lot. The second time I had the clear soup, very good; seaweed salad, excellent; and one of the sushi rolls. I've forgotten the name but it was spicy tuna with seared tuna on top. It was also very good. My sister had the chicken hibachi. She said the chicken was like chicken, nothing special. But both my husband and my sister thought the dipping sauces that came with the hibachi were very tasty. read more

Very thankful that this restaurant has come to Grand Rapids. It is a refreshing menu with delicious sushi & other Japanese options in northern MN! read more

Went for the Hibachi lunch and was not disappointed! It comes with a salad, soup, fried rice, veggies, and a meat choice. I had the shrimp. Everything was delicious and the price was reasonable. Will definitely go again and try some more items! read more

i love the food! but horrible service and never ever on time.. sticky tables and small building. i don't think it would be a good place to come in a group because they are kind of rude and don't take time out of their day to be nice. read more
