Fuji is always a welcome sight whenever my stomach starts grumbling on Pearl Street. Just a quick turn off from the shops, this cozy spot offers light and filling lunch options. Japanese/indian/nepalese dishes here ranging from onigiri, curry, and rice bowls. They have a onigiri set that lets you pick three flavors! My personal favorite meal is the Unagi Bowl with their iced green tea. It's the perfect spot for a rest and a meal. I love Fuji restaurant and bar. read more

just off of Pearl Street is this little gem of a restaurant. Family owned, super friendly and absolutely delicious. Not only was it great to find Himalayan food, but it also has Japanese food, too. The sushi and rice triangle appetizer was so unique!! I only wish I took a photo! Was in the area for a week and went back twice! read more

Nice little place right in the center of Boulder, near Pearl St. Mall on Broadway. One of these places I probably passed by a hundred times. Some dishes were really good and some just ok. For example, the chicken soup was very good but the Himalaya Curry was disappointing, it had a lot of content but I was hoping for more curry and also more flavor. Overall, a really nice place with I guess a little bit of a hit and miss depending on what you order. It feels great to support non-chain restaurants too. The service was good, maybe the guy that was there was the owner but he was very nice to us. He never checked on us though but it's a small place and it feels like you can always grab him if you need anything. read more

I really enjoyed dining here. It's a great space with small intimate settings. I would recommend small groups. The service was friendly and quick. I ordered the 3 origini platter, it came with soup, an appetizer, and some pickled veggies. I really enjoyed the origini - tuna and beef are my favorite. I'd definitely come back! read more

Eager for a clean and fresh tasting meal? Look no further than Fuji Cafe and Bar. It's a Japanese Nepalese restaurant and I was really searching for the momos. But instead of just momos we also tried the himalayan curry. Found near Pearl Street, it's a perfect off the busy street restaurant that serves delicious homestyle foods. From what we've gotten, it was very mild, tasted very clean and healthy. The momos were served with what seemed to be a tomato based sauce on the side. They were stuffed with a dense ground pork patty. It was delicious! You can get them either fried or steamed, we got them steamed. The curry itself was also really good. Mild tomato based. Came with a side of rice. Wish it was bigger so that I could enjoy more of it! I'd definitely try it again next time in Boulder. read more

I love the story. Fuji Cafe is Japanese and Nepalese influenced. A true mom and pop, family run business. Momma bear was in the kitchen and baby bar served. I ordered a matcha latte which was the best I have ever had. Full disclaimer this was only my second one. I ordered the vegetable stew. I thought it was delicious but after looking at other dishes at adjacent tables, I should have ordered differently. I sat at the bar and enjoyed my conversation with Sherpa.

I really loved this place. They were incredibly fast about ordering and preparing the food. We were pretty hungry when we went so we got the onigiri meal combos and it was so worth it. The onigiris were surprisingly large and full of filling. The miso soup and pickles were also pretty good. We thought this was a great serving size. The price is in the lower end and coming here is definitely well worth the cost. read more

After a cold walk around Boulder, this place was a great find. It's small and quiet with lots of options. The environment was nice to be in. Gives you a good feel of their orgins. Also, seeing part of the kitchen was cool. Watching them cook some of the dishes was entertaining. At least to me. The good was delicious!! And the portion was great for the price. It warmed us up and prepared us for the rest of our adventure. It's a small place so you may walk past it. But if you do, turn around and go in. It's completely worth it!! read more

Omg. This little spot is such a gem. We came in here yesterday afternoon before going out to hike the Chautauqua trails and the onigiri set us up for success.

Checked this place out a few nights ago and was very confused (and disappointed) by the whole thing. They have wayyyy too much going on - Japanese items, poke, random curries, noodles, chicken tenders and fries???? We got the onigiri special set (I LOVE ONIGIRI) but none of them were very good, and the meats in them seemed kinda funky. The tofu was like a fake agedashi tofu, and was served very cold and was really not pleasant. The best part about the whole thing was the miso soup which, admittedly, was quite good. I don't know if we just got the wrong items and maybe the other dishes are really good, but was not a fan :( read more

Decent but not great. Onigiri was very rice forward with limited meat inside. Poke Don was middle tier in terms of quality. Tuna was a little hard and lacking flavor. Poke bowl is way better at a poke restaurant as there were very limited toppings. Poke bowl consisted of salmon, avocado, rice, furikake and a sauce, that's it. If you're going to make a poke bowl, add more to it. Won't be back. read more

Was trying to find a place to eat that wasn't typical "American" food and we stumbled upon this place. The ambiance was very quiet and simple and honestly I loved the peacefulness after a long day of hiking. - chicken momo soup: sooo yummy and filling! The soup was miso based (vegetarian) and flavorful without being spicy. You can also pick which kind of dumplings you want! - veggie chawman: udon noodles with lots of veggies, very yummy and filling again - onigiri Special: came with edamame and miso soup as my sides. I'm usually a salmon girl but this one was smoked salmon which was a little dry so I actually preferred the tuna mayo over the other two! Also a little too much rice for me Would definitely recommend this place if you want to try food that tastes homey/authentic and unique at the same time! read more

It's a cute little spot in Pearl Street Mall area! It's not too small cause they have a several tables. I believe it's counter served because there's a counter and a register but I could be wrong. We just wanted a small lunch so we didn't order too much. I got a side of tofu, rice and veggie chow mein. The taste doesn't taste too different from any Asian food I've tasted. It's your standard chow mein. But the tofu I did not expect it the way it was serve. It was serve cold and unfortunately it wasn't for me. The place is not hard to locate and there's parking everywhere. Warning: you have to pay for parking but it fairly cheap! read more

Unfortunately My friend and I were extremely disappointed by our experience at Fuji. It was our first time going. She ordered the chicken curry while I ordered the Onigiri special with miso and the tofu side. I got the smoked salmon, mayo tuna, and unagi onigiri. I love onigiri and grew up eating it... These were basically just expensive rice triangles. They were barely filled though I will say when I did get a decent bite of the mayo tuna, it was enjoyable. The other two I could barely taste. The tofu was basically flavorless. It was like they took a package of cold tofu and threw some shreds on top... The miso also lacked flavor. My friend stated that she was not a fan of the chicken curry; it was plain rice and 3 pieces of plain steamed broccoli with two drumsticks. We've had other Sherpa curries and were definitively not expecting this. This dish would more accurately be called curried chicken rather than chicken curry. :( read more

IMHO this is the gem of Pearl St Mall. We stopped here after checking options across the mall area and I'm so glad we did. My first choice is always onigiri at any place that makes them. I tried the Konbu and Maitaki, the konbu was my favorite but you do have to work to get a balance of the salt flavor otherwise it could be too much salt. I also ordered the momo appetizer which has the perfect balance of flavors, loved the dumpling itself and the sauce was a brilliant pairing. Partner had the lamb curry and we both loved the flavor so much that we dipped the momo in the curry sauce too. Nothing was left on our plates at the end of the meal! We finished with some genmai-cha which was perfectly steeped. We would absolutely come back to Boulder just for this meal! read more

I'd give this place 4.5 stars if I could! Fuji is our go-to stop when we are coming back from hiking near Boulder. They have great vegetarian and non-vegetarian options and their food is consistently good. I definitely recommend trying their momos (level up with the Momo soup)! The onigiri is also incredible and my favorite is the shiitake mushroom - it's a little sweet and also savory! What a treat! Also, on top of the great food, Fuji has such a relaxing vibe inside. If you're having a chaotic day, head here for lunch and just take a minute! read more

Delicious and great value for your money. We came in for dinner during their happy hour and got two entrees, two appetisers, two beers, and a cup of matcha--all for just $50 (before the tip). The food was really good--they offer a mix of Nepalese and Japanese-inspired food, but I would particularly recommend their Nepalese/Sherpa dishes. We especially loved the dumplings appetiser and the Chawman noodles. All food is prepared right in front of you in the open kitchen just behind the counter where you order. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The atmosphere is casual/low-key but the place is popular--when we came in for dinner on a Tuesday evening, almost every table was taken. I would highly recommend this place for an affordable and delicious dinner. Keep in mind, however, that they close early (7:30 pm). read more

Went to the restaurant and ordered a Fuji don bowl with tuna. When I got my meal the tuna was canned. It smelled really bad and I could not eat it. I kindly told the server I expected the tuna to be fresh and if I could order something else. She gave me 2 options beef or salmon. I asked for salmon and she took my bowl. She promptly came back with the same bowl and the canned tuna still on top with smoked salmon thrown on top of the canned tuna. I still could not eat it because the canned tuna (now mixed with smoked salmon) smelled and tasted horrific. I told the waitress I could not eat this. She said sorry , walked away and ignored our table for about 30 mins. Finally we got her attention and she brought us a bill. The bill double charged for my original $16 meal and then the meal with the salmon $16 (which was the same meal with salmon thrown on top) my meal that I did not eat was $32. Below is a photo of what I was served. read more

I had the loveliest experience when I made a solo trip to grab a bite here while I was running errands. They were quite busy, however, I didn't feel ignored. The food and love put into the food from this small family owned business permeated the atmosphere that put me at ease on a busy day- in a busy restaurant. I went at noon, so it made sense it was busy. I had one of the regular sized rice bowls with salmon and it was delightful and a really filling portion! Server was genuine and polite and able to multitask really well managing take out, dine in orders with grace. I got a chance to say hello and thank you to one of the owners; it was nice to share a smile with them. Don't forget to try one of the desserts - small yet simply delightful - pro tip: enjoy dessert with some of their hot homemade tea. Lovely assortment of matcha, chai, and other yummy tea varieties. Oh! & I didn't have any this time - but ohhhhhh the onigiri looked so good! The orders were flying out the kitchen to customers - every table had at least one order. They had a lovely assortment, and the plate presentation was on point. read more

Fuji Cafe and Bar is a great spot for quick dine in or to-go Japanese cuisine. The Onigiri is a must get for a very filling and flavorful meal. They have an extensive menu of Onigiri to choose from, whether you are in the mood for smoked salmon or sweet BBQ eel. They also had hot and free house chai tea that customers were welcome to serve themselves. I also enjoyed one of their red bean desserts, which I'd recommend giving a try too. I'm looking forward to heading back soon for another meal. read more

The food is bland and poorly executed. I've seriously gotten better tasting hand rolls from a Tokyo 7-Eleven. Also they ask for a full service gratuity up front as soon as you walk in the door. Then they make you get your own water and bus your own tables after you eat. The only time you'll come in contact with a "server" is when they drop off your food. read more

It ain't cheap to be a Boulderite, but coming from NYC, the prices help to stave off the homesick feeling. Stopped in for lunch today and the place had a steady flow of customers. I'm still amazed at all the space here in Boulder and feeling happy that I don't have to be a hawk to snatch up a table. I had the poke salad medium ($11.80) and my lunch mate ordered the curry chicken rice dish ($9.90). Both dishes were cooked to order and certainly very fresh. My poke salad had large chunks of tuna mixed in with greens and chunks of avocado. Poke was well seasoned if not a little too salty and I wished throughout the meal that I had ordered the poke don instead so the white rice could temper the saltiness. My lunch mate was kind enough to share some white rice with me from the curry chicken plate. The curry chicken was a large plate and cooked well but could use a little more salt. While eating lunch, we were able to peruse a guide describing the best Boulder hikes curated by National Geographic. The cafe also has a small library and many books are about hiking, Mt. Everest, climbing. Nice, relaxing and tasty lunch. I will certainly be back here again after a long strenuous hike to fuel up. read more

I needed a small lunch and I was in the area and somehow I had never been in though they have been at this location for several years. I had frequented the previous establishment in this location and it is just a little out of place in some way for the types of eateries just off Pearl, I feel the same way about this eatery as I did about the last. Some nice and interesting options but order at the counter, get a number, go pick up and then clean up. Small tightly placed tables with the cleanup bar right in the middle. There were several other single customers spread around, mostly having miso soup on a cold day. Since that doesn't fit my digestion, I had to choose from items outside the list of combos with miso soup as part of the pricing. I had heard that the onigiri was good but only saw a few flavors that appealed to me so I had the fish roe and it was fine. Just a bit large and not held together tightly enough. The veggie momo was completely cold and at other places they were always warm to hot, but had great flavor and a spicy sauce. A pot of hot tea, hoji-cha, my favorite, was excellent, served in a big enough pot for 2 mugs worth. It was was wonderfully warming on a cold day and very flavorful. I might go back for another snack but this sort of place is more enjoyable to me when it has quick access and is not self cleanup. read more

Fuji Cafe and Bar is a nice little establishment right off the Pearl Street Mall. While not a full restaurant, they do have a wide selection of Asian food. If you dont know what to order, dont feel like a big lunch, or just want a sampler plate, they do sell "by the piece" I ordered one beef, one chicken and one salmon, which each piece came wrapped up in a sticky rice ball. Each piece had an interesting taste and unique flavor and also came with a small bowl of soup which also has a good taste. The prices here are good, especially for the Boulder Pearl Street Mall area (each piece was only around $3). The only issues is that this place is very small and has limited seating, during the lunch rush, it can be difficult to find a table and you might have to walk a few blocks since there is no parking. read more

I stopped by on a weekday afternoon and opted for the raspberry donut, which was incredibly fresh and tasty. It was quite busy on this weekday afternoon.

Not sure what else is available in the area.

The breakfast sandwich (with sausage) was good - the bun it was on was super soft and a mismatch for the structured sandwich. It ended up being hard to eat. The Roman sandwich was ok but had too much cheese. Our coffee (drip and an oatmilk latte) were good. It was busy on a Tuesday morning at 8:30, we were lucky to get a table for two.

A standout detail is that all their flavorings and syrups are made in-house, which really elevates the drinks. You can even buy small bottles of their syrups in-store. Service Service is quick and friendly. The baristas are especially helpful in explaining pastries and flavor profiles, which makes it easier to try something new. Ambience The cafe has a vintage cottage, cozy vibe with plenty of nooks and crannies -- perfect for both conversation or getting some work done. Overall A warm, inviting space with great pastries and thoughtfully crafted drinks -- definitely a spot I keep coming back to, even from South Denver.

I have found their pastries to be eclectic and tasty, and they'll package up a few for you in the most delightful packaging. Overall, a very sweet spot tucked away off of Pearl St!

Loved all the plants and decor to make the shop welcoming and bright. Seating was fairly limited or at least all tables were occupied and ended up just taking my treats to-go rather than working from the shop as I planned. Staff were relatively friendly and speed of service was average. I had an iced 16 oz vanilla latte ($6) and a bacon breakfast burrito ($10.5). Found it to be on the more expensive side for value received. Everything was good but I would order lite ice next time as it's a pretty expensive latte half displaced by ice otherwise.

Love that these are available to add on your own

The seating area isn't what you see after you order, walk to the left and through the door and there are table and chairs down the hallway. Keep walking and there's a nook with more tables and chairs. Food was good. The slice of quiche was HUGE and filling. The bread of the Croque Madame that I ordered were both light and fluffy as well as chewy, it was a GREAT breakfast! We ordered a kouign amann for a little sweet bite after breakfast. It was nice and crispy at all the little edges. I really appreciated the artistry of the pastry. Parking n the street was not too tough. I'm from Los Angeles so I believe I'm always battling for parking but we found a spot a short distance away and there's lots of shops to stop and check out to keep you busy. Service was amazing, the cashier was super polite and friendly.

We had heard of this cafe as they had been food hosts at a party at a Kühl on Pearl and were hoping to actually eat in their cafe when they coincidentally moved next door to one of our favorite local eateries. We were in the neighborhood around lunchtime so we stopped in when we arrived it was busy, by the time we left, it was packed. It's a unique menu fit for most palates and healthy as can be. It attracts athletes if all ages, healthy eaters of all types. You won't find much meat but there is some. It also as an Asian flair with offerings of congee and fried chicken sides, fish, rice and veggies of all sorts including kimchi . Japanese egg salad sandwiches too. That's one I need to try next time. Today we both chose the mushroom congee with 7 minute egg and a hot drink. A spicy chai with oat milk for my husband and berry hibiscus tea for me. We both enjoyed our meals but just a bit too much garlic for me but just right for my husband and must others too. I loved the volumes of mushrooms and the sprinkles of spices on the whole egg. The egg was done perfectly. My husband brought home a side order of popcorn chicken as I will be at a meeting so he will be eating dinner alone. The service was great, everyone friendly and helpful the cafe bright and clean and the ordering counter moves fast. They deliver to and clear the tables. More quick casual places should do this to avoid the piles of debris at bins in the seating area I often see. There is a flat panel screen on the wall featuring cyclists in the wild given that energy snacks were the first products of this company and much for sale here too. The mix of diners covered the spectrum of adults you would expect in Boulder. This cafe is only breakfast and lunch so come when convenient earlier in the day. Parking is free and always available in this center. Lots of construction around the intersection so plan your trip to get into the lot via Alpine and not Broadway. That Broadway construction will be ongoing for a while. It's also a good place to arrive by bike. Pricing was very affordable and variety of meals wide.

Very bicycle themed
