my favorite place to get sushi in san mateo! they also have a really good salmon teriyaki bento box and the staff amazing :) read more

Glad I found this little gem! It's a family owned shop and all the servers are extremely nice and actually very attentive! I loved that they checked in often and made sure we were okay. The portions are very generous as well and all the rolls we tried were delicious. As a non avocado lover, the avocado slices were pretty large (but to some that can be pro). The fish in the chirashi was good, I did wish they dialed down on the sauce in the chirashi and some of the rolls. I am a sauce lover but some things either don't need sauce or may have too many combinations of sauces on it. I will definitely come back. Their miso soup is also very delicious, we got seconds! read more

Food is still great here but the service has really dropped off, mainly commenting on the gentleman that is usually talking to himself and sometimes can be a little on the rude side. Lots of sushi choices out there, maybe be a little more customer service friendly. read more

Furagu Sushi on 25th Avenue was such a pleasant surprise! The restaurant is unassuming from the outside, but dont be fooled, because the sushi was excellent. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the tempura was light, crispy, and full of flavor. It's also a great backup if the wait at Rock & Roll Sushi is too long. Definitely a neighborhood spot I'll be coming back to. read more

This place is Chinese run (kitchen, waiter, cashier), not Japanese. But the sushi which was surprisingly good. 4 stars for the sushi. 4 stars for the prices, which were reasonable. 3 stars for service which was mediocre. read more

Furagu Sushi is a solid neighborhood sushi spot on 25th Ave amongst the many restaurants on this street. Came here on a weekday night for dinner for a party of 8 and getting a table was not an issue. Fish is fresh, portions are generous, and prices are reasonable. We got a variety of sushi rolls like spider roll, caterpillar roll and rainbow roll. The service is quick and friendly. The husband and wife team are very nice. There's also big screen tv's on which was showing NBA games when we went. It's not fancy but it is reliable, clean and satisfying when you're craving sushi. read more

Small family owned restaurant frequented by many locals due to their hospitality and overall family oriented atmosphere. Their young daughter happily greets customers as they enter thru the door. Service is ultra friendly and food is good although I'd recommend that they wrap their sushi a little tighter (Ca Roll base used for many Roll Options, wrap it tighter so that it doesn't fall apart). Sashimi also fresh. We liked the three rolls that we ordered. We also ordered cooked food of: - Agedashi Tofu - consisting of large chunks of fried lightly battered tofu, bonito flakes and sweet soy. - Two Item Combo of Medium Rare Teriyaki Grilled Beef with sauce on the side, Chicken Katsu which was light and addictively crispy. I'd go back for this combo which also includes 4 pieces of California Roll, and Salad with Miso dressing. Overall, a good place to stop off for a quick meal if you get stuck on Highway 92 or 101 traffic. Also the family oriented hospitality is a big plus, the little girl greeter is so cute! read more

Unfortunately the sushi was not good. The fish was fresh but not the freshest I've had, tasted thawed. The rolls lacked flavor, the "eel" sauce on top of our sushi was also way too salty and made the sushi inedible. I ended eating more ginger than actual sushi. The customer service was great but I would not come back. read more

Amazing services and very friendly. Love their sushi. Very fresh and their salad dressing is so delicious. You can actually taste the freshness and perfect balance. I want a jar to take home. Their oysters were light and juicy and you can taste its freshness, not too salty and not bland. Highly recommended!!!! read more

We went to Fugaru for a late dinner because a nearby sushi restaurant was too busy to seat us. We ordered a bento #2 and boat #1. I liked the mackerel, it was nicely grilled, juicy, and a good amount. Everything else was just good or OK but I need to bring home the rest of the tonkatsu and chicken teriyaki. The texture of the tempura and the taste of the California roll were a little bit off. Clean, quiet restaurant. Nice servers. read more

Great neighborhood Japanese restaurant. When we got there it was empty (6:30pm) but filled up as the night went on. Portions on entrees were very generous. We all got dinners, so can't really speak to sushi. I got boat #2 and it was very good. Miso soup was just okay. We've got a favorite Japanese in our neighborhood, but would go back to change it up. read more

Furagu Sushi was pretty good. The prices are great and the food is fresh. The service was attentive. Ambience may not look much and definitely not fine dining. Good parking outside on the streets. Sushi rolls were good. Bento box was good but smaller than other places. Overall decent meal and pricing here for lunch. read more

Furagu Sushi - Delicious food. - Japanese Near Me - San Mateo, California

Perfectly average sushi spot. This place has wonderful service and a big menu with all your Japanese favorites. The food quality is just okay - there are a big variety of special rolls on the menu and they were pretty tasty, but the quality of the fish was pretty mediocre. The dinner boat was super fun as well, but the tempura was quite heavy and the chicken was lower quality and cut pretty thin. Overall, I will go elsewhere for my Japanese food fix, but appreciate the great service! read more

Given the restaurant's name and extensive sushi menu, it may be more suitable for sushi. We opted for bento boxes with tempera and saba shioyaki. Everything was decent and on par with most Japanese restaurants. Nothing out of the ordinary. read more

First time trying this place based on great reviews on Yelp. It's disappointing to say the least. We have ordered three sushi rolls (Dragon, Furagu, and Lion King). They look great but taste is underwhelming. Lion King is probably the best of three, but it is drenched in mayo sauce. The fish is not fresh fish and its razor thin. 1/5 for sushi. We have also ordered a beef sukiyaki. 90% are Napa cabbage. Since I was craving for something soupy, I am good with this. But then, it's not something I would come back for it. 2/5. After tips, it costs us $90 for the three of us. I don't think it justifies the cost with the quality of this meal. Why still 2 stars? Servers are all very friendly and it seems they have a lot of old customers who they know well. I hope they would improve the food quality, so new customers would want to come back again. For now, I would not recommend this place at all. Hard pass. read more

Racism. I walked in to order lunch no hello or greeting. I looked at the menu to order and asked to order, person taking my order suggested to go before i even told him what i wanted. I asked to eat here he said oh yes ok. Then told me i have to pay before i eat. 3 white people walk in to order he greets them with a smile even offers to seat them, they order for like a normal dine in experience eat there food then pay. Came on here to share my experience. I also confronted them and told them i dont appreciate being treated like that and seems racist since im the only black person in the restaurant. read more

We happened to be in San Mateo craving sushi! We found this little spot that was open at 8pm on a Sunday. The sushi was made fresh and the fish tasted of good quality. I really liked my sushi rolls with spicy tuna and shrimp tempura. My mom liked her charashi bowl but thought there was a little TOO much fish haha! This is a great spot to go regularly. Not too expensive and will definitely satisfy any sushi craving! read more

Our go to once a week dining out. Fresh sushi. Generous portions and fast, friendly service.

$128.40 food for 4, to go. (No tax or tip). Steamed White Rice - good, hydrated and cooked near perfect. Calamari Katsu - 10 or so rings with a katsu dipping sauce. Good but the value wasn't there. San Mateo Roll - It was ok. Spicy Tuna Hand Roll - good flavor with a market value. Cucumber and Avocado Roll - standard, enjoyed. Lion King Special Roll - I was overwhelmed by the mayo sauce. Hawaiian Roll - good. Chicken Teriyaki (App) - thin cut pounded out and cooked as well as it could be, but the value didn't hold. Not worth the price of admission. Gyoza - so/so. I'd pass next time. Also value is questionable. Vegetable Tempura - good. The hot breaded items were packed in containers that didn't have a cut-out, so I had to open those for the car ride home. It was a good meal, but nothing to place it above so many other good sushi restaurants. If it were my neighborhood, it'd be my local. But it's not a drivable return. Bonus is they do open at 4pm.​ read more

I came in on a really hot weather and it was a bit musty inside. That's ok tho cause I was hungry! Lol. I'm stuck in between a 3 or a 4 star. First experience was ok. I liked how Chef's ngiri sushi choices were of these types of fish, but it didn't taste as fresh as I hoped for. Maybe my expectations were too high especially reading all the yelp reviews. I'm pretty sure when I come back and order sushi rolls and cooked entrees, my yelp review will be better. I appreciate their customer service～ Thank you for being open through this pandemic especially for a starving customer like me :) read more
