Having just been in Japan a month ago, I was excited to try it. I came here later in the evening cramps around 10 p.m. you'd only had to wait a few minutes to get a table outside. The wait staff for great. They made a few recommendations. Where to start? Well it seems reasonable to start the miso soup which I found to be quite good. This had a fairly authentic taste to it. Moving on, I tried tuna sushi roll as a salmon roll. The fish just did not seem all that great. Certainly edible, but just a average quality. I was a little disappointed. Is there it was a chocolate cake. This was warmed and served with ice cream. This was a very nice dish. A good finishing move.

We opted to skip the tasting menu (€35 per person) and ordered a handful of plates plus dessert. Every single thing that came out was fresh, beautiful, creative, and damn good. We had 2 cocktails each and a ton of food and the bill was €109. Expensive for Valencia, but totally worth the splurge. Everyone says it takes two months to get a table, but just call and ask for their next available. I called on a Friday night and they gave us a table for the following Wednesday. Service was amazing and never rushed...we were there for a long time and never felt like we were imposing.

And, the food isn't awful, actually it's satisfactory for all you can eat style sushi. So, why on earth would this place garner 2 Stars? Easy, as a solo traveler I have found my money is the same color as everyone else's. So when service is denied, or altered, my response is a heartfelt sigh! Here at Fuji, I really should have moved on when I came I and sat down. The staff got in a curfluffle that a solo eater sat in a table for two. On of the staff members directed me upstairs for solo eaters. There is was all alone, eating by myself. Shown a ringer to get staffs attention. Talk about feeling like a pariah. How can a restaurant effect my self esteem......sadly it just did. And, even worse the food is not bad, a little heavy on the rice, but places like this don't want you to eat to much. This won't happen again!!!!

HOURS: The evening hours are posted as opening at 7:30pm, but as someone else commented, they are…read morenot open until 8:30pm (or whenever they're ready to let customers in. If you're wondering what that means, we showed up just after 8pm, and were told they wouldn't be ready until after they--the employees--were finished eating). CUSTOMER SERVICE: Because my party and I were the first to arrive after opening, we received prompt service. They got us drinks, gave us warm, wet towels to clean up, and soon came over to take our order. However, as more people arrived (and it was quite busy for a Thursday) we were somewhat forgotten. FOOD: The food is delicious! I've eaten at a lot of Japanese restaurants, and enjoyed the food very much. The sashimi (raw fish) was the best of all we tried. The miso soup was hot (temperature), but salty. The rice in the sushi was a little too hard. A lot of the dishes were prepared in the same soy sauce-, garlic-type of sauce, but delicious nonetheless.

It made one of my friends actually leave. The rest of us were either too hungry to care or too engrossed in our conversation to notice. I was part of the former group. This is a buffet style place where it's a flat rate for anything on the menu. Note: drinks and tax are not included in the flat rate. We ordered seaweed salad, pot stickers, fried rice, lemon chicken, duck, and of course sushi. We had bottles of red wine for our drinks. I believe there was ice cream at the end but I was way too full to have one more bite. We plan to return to this fine establishment before our time in Valencia runs out.

I went there for dinner and that night there was only all-you-can-eat buffet. The food was not so good. The only dish I thought was quite good was "Pato Laqueado" which is not Japanese food. The sushi and the sashimi weren't fresh. The sushi rice tasted kind of strange. The sushi rolls and the makis were not good either. The service was slow and not friendly. The atmosphere was not bad, but the bathroom was really dirty. There were a lot of people that night (it was on a national holiday), but I don't really recommend this place if you are looking for a decent Japanese food.

Although it was almost 90 degrees outside, this didn't stop us from indulging in something we missed so much. the menu is pretty basic, offering the soy sauce and miso flavors for the ramen. They also Offer curry dish but we decided to skip that. Small appetizers are on the menu such as gyoza and chicken karaage. We opted for the miso ramen, gyoza and chicken karaage. The gyoza and chicken karaage tasted fine and enough to share for two people. My husband got overly excited and wanted extra meat and noodles in his ramen and our server mentioned us if we ordered the larger portion of the ramen, it came with extra everything. (For an extra 2€, thats a great deal!). Our miso ramen tasted good, the egg was boiled just right and the pork was tender. I felt like the broth was missing something but after adding chili pepper, it helped. Turns out the larger order of ramen for my husband was more than he could handle. The portion for the larger ramen bowl looked to be good enough for 2 people to share. Service and food were good and we would probably come back if we are in the area.

Attractive, friendly, and competent people. I started with the absolutely delicious Ping Pong cocktail, a mix of lychee and passion fruit purées with gin. Wow was that a great drink! I had two. Next I started with three Guillardeaux oysters. They were so plump and sweet. Astounding, actually. I could have made a meal of these if not so expensive (€3.50 each). I also tried a small croquette of Roquefort and spinach that was everything a croquette should be. Next up was an amazing Thai fish cake. It was crunchy and tender and mildly spicy with a nice hit of fresh coriander. It was a starter that I was sad to see disappear so quickly. It's a taste I want to experience again. My main course was a tiradito of local seafood. It's basically a ceviche but they amped up the flavor with a Thai-inspired marinade. The shellfish were amazingly sweet and tender and played well with that sauce. A very generous portion, too. I finished with dessert, a small disc of cheesecake topped with both a caramel sauce and berry purée. Neither was overly sweet. It was surrounded by beautiful chopped, toasted hazelnuts and a crunch derived from coffee. The entire dish worked beautifully. All of this came to €65! Very good value. Whoever is in the kitchen is seriously talented. This place is a winner. Go, eat like Thai royalty, and enjoy!

Came at opening time on a Saturday night and we were only able to get bar seating, where the friendly bartender served us a full menu. The 2 of us started with a sashimi bowl with tuna and salmon of a very high quality, just pure sea flavors with perfect texture. Served on a bed of rice and a soy-based sauce, this was a easy and playful cold appetizer. We next ordered 2 thai fishcakes which floored me. How does a Spanish restaurant do Thai food? This place does it damn well! The prominent lemongrass flavor balanced by other Thai essences (I'm guessing ginger/cilantro root/chilis) was masterfully done, with a very bold overall taste profile (paralleling that of jamon). My favorite. We ordered the seasonal deep fried thai fish as a main, which was seabass when we were there. At 19 Euros for the market rate, it was fair. The whole fish was deep fried to a crisp, rendering the smaller bones edible. Served in a lovely thai sauce (similar to the fishcakes) and smothered with spring onions and chilis. Lastly, the dessert was truly memorable: pumpkin flan with chunks of chili infused apricot, topped with a whipped requeson cheese cream and caramelized and crispy pumpkin seeds! Cocktails were respectful of classic recipe and bold too (pisco sour and a passion fruit /lychee / mint / gin drink). Dinner for 2 with 3 self-selected courses, 4 glasses of wine was 75. Staff spoke some English and were friendly and highly professional.
