We stumbled upon Fuji Restaurant while wandering Pearl Street. Once I saw onigiris, I knew we had…read moreto stop in. We were seated quickly and given menus and then ordered at the cashier up front. I got the two piece onigiri set with miso soup and some pickled veggies. My husband got the chicken momo soup. The onigiris were formed out of purple rice and very stuffed! Usually I find that there is a lot of rice and a tiny bit of filling but both onigiris (mushroom and beef) had filling bursting out from the first bite. I appreciate that there is a piece of the filling on top of the onigiri so you know what is what before taking a bite. The momo had a very familiar taste to it, I can't put my finger on it, very warm and cozy though. It was perfect as it had just started raining too. There were also hidden veggies within the soup which was a plus. The genmai cha tea I got was also delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at Fuji restaurant and would definitely come back!

The izakaya side was not too busy after 7pm, and service was attentive but didn't check-in too much, allowing a relaxed meal. We eat a lot of Japanese food, and especially enjoyed the agedashi mochi, soft shell crab, and karaage. I also thought the uni tasted very fresh the other time I went. It's probably one of the best meals for the price in Boulder if you'd like to dine in and take your time.

Not pictured, we also ordered the duck soba noodles and the scallops. Everything tasted delicious. I do wish that I had saved some of the soba for when the hamachi came out but I did order those later. I would have preferred the hamachi to come with a bit of rice on the side but my boyfriend didn't mind the salad. It's a great date spot and if we were to sit inside there's options for Japanese style floor seating. When you go inside they ask you to take off your shoes and provide slippers for the restroom. It feels very relaxing and home-y.

You can gauge the overall quality of a Japanese restaurant based on its miso soup alone; miso soup…read moreis an extremely easy to make and high margin product for a restaurant that a low quality miso soup means that the restaurant most likely skimps on the quality of their other offerings. The miso soup was heavily watered down - needed either more dashi and / or miso paste to bring it to an acceptable level. I rarely have a good experience with ramen offerings at a sushi place and this was no exception. The "tonkotsu" ramen broth was anything but; it didn't taste anything remotely that would be considered tonkotsu and the noodles looked like it came out of some western version of packaged ramen noodles. The beef "teriyaki" lunch bento was awful. The "teriyaki" sauce tasted watered down and they would have been better off with the 99c bachan's teriyaki sauce from Costco because this sauce was the worst I've ever consumed. I was struggling to taste the components of teriyaki in it. It didn't even have the viscosity of teriyaki either and was this watery mess. The dipping sauce for the potstickers was also some strange spiced anomaly; the sauce that we all know and love isn't hard to make either - it's 1:1 soy sauce and vinegar, and they should have just went with that. The california roll included was ok. It's just overall I feel sad for the folks that live around here as this may be their only exposure to Japanese food and none of it represents anything that could be remotely considered decent. They need to remove the dim sum and ramen options and focus on what they are - a sushi joint.

Service was good and the food was good but it felt overpriced for the food. The hot roll we got came out like 30 minutes after everything else. We thought they forgot about it. Also, the edamame was like frozen cold. I've never had it that way and maybe that's how it is supposed to be served but it was chilly. Overall, it was just okay. I probably wouldn't come back. Miso soup was yummy

They also had a lot of options that weren't sushi like ramen, salad, rice dishes, okonomiyaki, and more. Definitely some menu items you can't get at any Japanese restaurant. I would definitely recommend coming here.

They just covered up the Rakkan logo or cut it out of their shirts. Okay... I'll give it a try. It's just not good anymore. There's no complexity of flavor to the broth, it's just salty. Lots of the good veggies are gone. Even the avocado tomato salad is lackluster. It's just not worth the price. It's not super clean or friendly either. FYI: They have little table ads giving away free appetizers for 5-star reviews, so caveat emptor. If you're still craving noodle soup: I'd recommend Osaka's for ramen for omnivores, or for vegans/gf go get pho at Lotus Moon.
