I have now been here 7 times! It is my go to sushi restaurant even though it's not close to my house. I got 3 nigiri and the scallops sashimi appetizer. The nigiri was omakase quality. What I mean is, it's not just fish on rice. Each one had its own topping and sauce. As an example the tuna tatake was topped with a vinegar based sauce with those shiso (?) leaves. No need for soy sauce and wasabi on anything I ate. Tons of flavor. I've never seen another place do this for "regular" nigiri. read more

I received a vibrant welcoming as soon as I walked in! There was a nice guy behind the bar/counter. He took my order and suggested that I try the cajun poboy roll. It did not disappoint! The decor on the inside was really cool and they even sell little trinkets. read more

Lively welcome. We were able to pick any table. Their service was attentive, my water and hot tea stayed full. My salmon sushi and rock and roll were yummy. The rock and roll was larger than I expected which was a pleasant surprise. I loved the cozy decor with its bamboo and swirly, wavy accents. My favorite part was the women's Elite 8 basketball game playing on the tv. read more

I ordered the chicken fried rice and all they had in this dish was buttery fried rice with some small pieces of scrambled eggs and no chicken. Cost $14.00 for a bunch of rice. Scammed!! Also, the old lady there is so rude! read more

A friend and I frequent Fuji Sushi at least once a week, it's so good! We get the 2 roll lunchtime sushi special with miso soup or salad with an absolutely delicious ginger dressing but if you're more hungry, you can order 3 rolls. I always get eel avocado roll & salmon avocado roll but sometimes will get a spicy crunchy roll - all for $10.95! I've seen other diners' orders & am tempted to get the Drew Brees roll - maybe next week! This restaurant has been around a looong time & the owner is so friendly & nice. He's even memorized our orders! I can't recommend Fuji Sushi enough! It's a gem hidden away in the same strip mall where Casa Garcia Mexican restaurant is. read more

Delicious rolls! I absolutely loved the Naruto roll wrapped with the cucumber and the Utah roll. Service was good and consistent! read more

Managed to come here in person after getting delivery from them first and it's AMAZING. We ordered the same rolls, because not only were they delicious, but we also wanted to have an accurate comparison. We were already impressed with the delivered rolls and in person they're 10x better. The flavors are intense and blend together nicely, the presentation is beautiful, and they're freshly prepared so the rolls with seared fish have an incredible smokey flavor and aroma. As far as the service, we happened to go when it was slow and our server was very kind and attentive. Additionally, the chef made small talk with us and recommended other rolls he thought we'd enjoy next time based on what we ordered. I can say with complete certainty now that this is our favorite sushi restaurant, and we'll definitely be coming here a lot more! read more

Fresh food and service is always great. Very welcoming staff that remember you. Family friendly

This sushi restaurant is a hidden gem in a strip mall located in Metairie off Veterans. My sis and I wanted sushi but didn't want to head uptown, so we took a chance on Fuji Sushi. The food was very good and tasty. We started with dumplings and miso soup. Then we ordered three rolls of sushi. Very fresh and yummy. The locals near the strip mall are regulars, for what I could see. Service was great. Wait staff was always asking if you needed anything else. I will return the next time I am in NOLA. read more

This is my favorite sushi restaurant. It's a small strip mall location and is consistently delicious and reasonably priced for having such high quality fish. I really enjoy the nigiri, especially the specials that aren't on the regular menu but they nearly always have. And the sushi chefs are very friendly and make the experience even better. On my most recent visit we got: toro, surf clam, squid, white fish, saba, aji, madai, kanpachi, and anago nigiri and a rainbow roll, Philadelphia roll, and crunchy dynamite roll. read more

I love this hidden gem. I started coming here a few years ago and have been impressed ever since then. The food portions are great. The price is good too. Every time that I have eaten here or have done takeout everyone is always so kind and in a good mood. They are also kid friendly which is always a great thing. My fav go to is the Utah roll and the snow crab roll. Tonight I actually tried the fried rice and it was divine . If you haven't checked this spot out please do and support local. You def won't regret it read more

Such a nice experience! The restaurant is a small but charming. It was very peaceful and clean. I ordered 2pc sushi: bluefin tuna, yellowtail, and tamago. I also had the tuna tataki salad. Everything was fresh and tasty. Everyone was very kind and helpful. I also enjoyed a large hot sake! It seemed almost unending as I poured many cups. I will be back very soon to try more on the menu. read more

It's a great sushi bar/ restaurant .

Also they're Japanese Wagyu beef is to die for and it certified ... everything's very fresh reasonably priced and delicious.

Fuji Sushi - The WAGYU certificate .. a 10 for having a cert. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

One of the better sushi restaurants in the city! My friend has been raving about Fuji to me for over a year now and so we finally went a few months back. I have seen this place many times before since I frequent the vietnamese restaurant that shares the same parking lot. Needless to say Fuji had a lot to live up to because of the consistent endorsement that I kept hearing from my friend. I ordered the Cajun Poboy Roll (crab, crawfish, and tempura shrimp) and the seafood fried rice (my friend said I HAD to order that rice). The sushi was exceptional. The rice was delicious (I could of ate an entire pot of that rice). We then ordered bubble teas. Great service from the staff. They were all friendly and most seemed to recognize the regulars. Small cozy restaurant that serves amazing food. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

This place is great. Always nice to come here after work with coworkers for a glass of wine. They have noodle salad!!!! My favorite! They have a HUGE list of sushi rolls, so big, it's often hard to choose just one. But then again, why only get one? They also have these AMAZING crawfish rangoon/egg rolls omg they are to die for. The place is tiny though, so don't try to come with a big group, best for groups of 4 or less. read more

This is a solid 4 1/2 stars but it's not quite a 5. The actual fish is wonderful. The fish is a 5 (or 6), fresh, yummy, excellent fish. The c waitress came up to me and asked me if I liked sushi. I relied on the affirmative. But then I started asking about kani (fake crab). So many places are saying there is crab on it when it's kani (enough said, look it up). So she directs me to several tools without kani. Generally I just order a roll and have them hold the kani. But the Tiger Roll looked good so I went that way. TIGER ROLL: inside: salmon and tuna. Outside: salmon, barbecue eel, avocado, roe [masago], green onion, crunchy with eel sauce, I was like "okay, let's try it." I rarely eat eel and now I'm asking myself why. The roll was extremely creative and yummy but the person assembling it didn't make it tight enough and it didn't always hang together. Another issue was when I asked about beer I was only told about Sapporo, which is a 22 oz beer. I feel like there should be less-ounce choices. Oh well, I'm in Louisiana so I'll just get a to-go cup. I was impressed because they have uni (sea urchin) and Toro (fatty tuna). Honestly, you only see that in the better sushi restaurants because it's such a specialty. I will totally and willingly return here. read more

We found this sushi restaurant on yelp. We were not sure what to expect. Upon walking in we were greeted by a kind hostess. After looking at the menu we decided to stay. We ordered two miso soups a couple of green teas and four sushi rolls. It did not disappoint! The sushi was fantastic and very tasty.

My favorite Sushi spot in Louisiana. No-frills dining, with a cute seating space. I'd definitely recommend checking out the specials on the wall, specifically the Toro. I could order 20 pieces of the Toro and it would not be enough. The service is VERY friendly, and everyone here is super nice and welcoming! The Tuna tataki is so good it should be mandatory. read more

Bad service. Ken the owner was very rude and was not caring about my order. Just had me sitting around waiting ignoring me from making my order. When I finally got my order it was all wrong after I asked him if he got it right. Customer service is lacking here. They wouldn't even refund me when my order was all wrong. I would stay away! food ain't worth the bad service. read more

Came to Kenner to visit my brother and he recommended this spot after eating here one time. We ordered to go and the staff was super rude. Didn't pay attention to my order because he repeated it back to me but incorrectly. I corrected him and then when he gave me the check he still got it wrong. It's funny because nobody talks about reverse racism. Nobody talks about how minorities are racist towards other minorities. I'm Hispanic but sound and look white. It's fascinating when someone assumes I'm white and then proceeds to treat me a certain way. He rushed us out of there. Even if the sushi was amazing, which it was mid, I still would have wrote this review. As Joey Swole would say "you need to do better, mind your own business." read more

Terrible food and terrible service. The waitress was very rude and pushy, as soon as we sat down she asked what we want to order. Food came out super fast after we ordered, you can tell right away the fish was not fresh and the rice on the sushi was falling apart when you try it pick it up. The habachi was super salty and portion wasn't that much for the price. Definitely will not be going back read more

Gasp. I seriously cannot believe it has been FIVE years since my previous (and first ever!) Yelp review. Seriously, where does the time go? I am happy to report that not much has changed since my last review. Fuji is still my very favorite spot to grab dinner in a pinch or get my sushi fix in general whenever a craving strikes! The food is as delicious as ever. The employees are so friendly they'll make you feel like family. The location is convenient, although parking can be tricky on certain nights of the week since it's a shared lot- but it's well worth a trip or two around the parking lot. Nowadays I'm a fan of the tuna avocado roll (+asparagus), but I have yet to be disappointed by any of their rolls. If you want something special or want to add/remove something from a roll on the menu, just ask! They're happy to accommodate their customers special requests and their goal is to serve you sushi you enjoy. The only thing that has changed in the past five years is they have recently added bubble tea to their menu. The flavors they are currently serving are strawberry, mango and passionfruit. So far we have tried the strawberry and mango; Both tasted amazing and were very refreshing. I still would highly and happily recommend Fuji to anyone looking for great sushi and great service! read more

At most, Fuji is a decent little sushi place but definitely not my favorite joint in the area. The waitress understood English but didn't speak it well and was hard to understand. The service from the waitress was okay, she kept up with the drink refills but never removed dishes from the table the entire time, was really slow to bring the check and pick up our payment even though we were one of two tables in the whole place being used. The sushi chef was very friendly, spoke great English, and was very helpful and descriptive with our menu item questions. The noodle salad is something I'd recommend for sure, the noodles were slightly undercooked but still edible and pretty good. I'd order it again for sure if I were to come back to Fuji. The miso soup was full of tofu and had a great taste. Easily one of the best miso soups in the Metairie area. The ginger salad was decent and had a lot of dressing. My entree was the sushi lunch combo. It comes with 6 pieces of sushi and a California roll. The nigiri as well as the California roll were both smaller than average and not very filling. The fish unfortunately didn't taste too fresh either. Fuji isn't the worst around but there are definitely better places around the same price, fairly close to here. read more

My girlfriend and I were craving sushi and we stumbled upon fuji sushi and read great reviews. Upon entering, we were greeted by a server who only gave us one menu but two sushi menus. After we decided our order, another server took our orders to the kitchen. I felt confused as neither server told us who was actually serving us. We started with the snowcrab salad and the salmon skin salad. The presentation of the snowcrab salad was atrocious. The avocado was already browning and it looked like there was no preparation to it at all. The salmon skin salad was actually dressed beautifully and tasted wonderful. Our entrees consisted of the snowcrab Naruto roll, spider roll, volcano roll and the steak teriyaki dinner. The rolls were delicious but the steak teriyaki is just the steak with no sides. Confusing as most places serve it with a bowl for rice. I did not even get the soup and salad as advertised as I had to ask another server(different then the first two) to even get them. Overall the sushi was great but the service was subpar. read more

Horrible, and unpleasant atmosphere, and attitudes. Went to pick up an order for GrubHub, and they just had their nose in the air the entire time. Took a sucker out the jar, and the woman, fast at me, and the guy behind the counter didn't respond when I said, have a good one, and instead, made a derogatory comment about my looks. I'm going to call GrubHub, and ask them to drop them. read more

I checked out this sushi joint because it was the 2nd closest to my brother's house (the closest served me fish the wrong color last time) and because Naomi P recommended it. Naomi did not steer me wrong. The location is a bit difficult but they do have 2 reserved parking spots in front of the restaurant. I tried a variety of rolls and everything was top notch. The little nieces enjoyed the shrimp fried rice and I even got them to eat some of the cooked rolls. My cucumber salad was delish and the noodle salad was also tasty...and not as mayonaissey as it is other places. The server was also great to the little ones, even making them custom starter chopsticks. The rainbow roll was smaller (and didn't use spicy crab) then I've had in other places, but the fish was beautifully interwoven. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Fuji Sushi saves the day! My husband and I love sushi and have been living in a "dry sushi" community for a while now. Our favs(to give you an idea what Im comparing this review to) is rock n sake but theyre only open for lunch on fridays and Kyoto on Prytania--both located in an inconvenient area for a quick bite to eat for us Kennerites. I refuse to go to Sake Cafe(the mcdonalds of japanese food) and Kyoto 2 is just ok and closed on sundays. Thanks to my fellow yelpers, I tried all of their suggested rolls and all them were GREAT ! Perfect medley of flavor and freshness. Its my new local spot and Im so happy about it. The prices are the same as the bigger named places in the city and this is a small unassuming place but Ill gladly pay a couple extra bucks for consistency and quality. read more

It looked super cheap and obviously had food coloring added. read more

I'll sometimes get sushi from here after the gym, and normally everything tastes fine with the raw sushi, but today while eating the yellowtail roll I bit down and almost poked my gums because I was unaware that a fish bone was still in it. I really want to continue supporting this place, but that when I realizes the bone was there it threw my appetite off. I hope that this brings awareness to checking the fish a little more carefully. read more

Just a little hole in the wall sushi place that will knock your socks off! Affordable the food is delicious.

This place was probably one of the best sushi places I have tried. My husband and I ordered the Mango Roll and Lsu Roll. Very pleased with the food. I probably would have gave it a 5 star if it wasn't because of the waiter. She wasn't very friendly and very pushy for us to get things we didn't want to get. She also offered a mango bubble tea and I got it but when I got my check she charged me extra for the bubbles in the tea which I would of been okay with if she would have mentioned it was extra for that but she didn't. But Next time I will just order to go :) read more
