As an avid sushi fan, this sushi spot checked all my boxes. Interior ambience was somewhat lacking but kinda expected for most casual sushi joints that primarily specializes in take out. Edamame and gyoza to start were delicious. We ordered the sexy girl and 2014 roll -- both were perfect, no notes at all. read more

Love this place! Good price, good sushi, the crab rangoons are different but they are really good

Wow so bad. All the sushi fish was chewy , the ginger and wasabi was dried and looks old , pad tai tastes nothing like pad tai and the chicken in it is chewy and slimy. I live in the town of this place and am never ordering from here again. Yuck. I threw it out. read more

There are several of these in New England, and we were told they are independently owned. That makes sense as our experience in this venue was much better than our experience in Rhode Island. We were the first customers here as they just opened for lunch, and our service was excellent. We don't know if that's typical, but our waitress was very attentive and helpful. It was a cold day, so we passed on the sushi and selected: + Chicken Udon $15 + Chicken Fried Rice $15 + Gyoza $8 These were all excellent. The Gyoza was lightly fried, hot and tasty. We would be delighted to sample these again. The Chicken Udon included thick, chewy noodles, tender chicken, and a smattering of veggies, in a mild and tasty broth. It was a huge portion, and delicious. The Chicken Fried Rice was lightly fried with a delicious flavor, and tender chicken. This was also a large portion resulting in takeaways for both the Udon and Fried Rice. This visit warranted a 4.5 star rating, rounded up to 5 as everything arrived nicely executed and piping hot! read more

Food is always great and consistent from visit to visit. Portions are plentiful. The food also always comes out within at most 15 minutes which feels very quick to me. Not to mention the wait staff is always very kind and professional. Always seems to be more quiet then it should be for a place this good. I definitely recommend! read more

Even though we live in Southborough, we had not tried YamaFuji until very recently. Wish we had gotten here sooner. Have now been back three times and just one month! We've ordered the hibachi dinner, and sushi appetizers. Food is excellent, drinks are very good and the service is pleasant and quick. Prices are very reasonable. We have gone for sitdown service as well as takeout. Definitely recommend it read more

First time coming here and it was delicious. Definitely going back! Service was great, we had lunch so it wasn't very busy. read more

YamaFuji is a great local business. They are involved in and support the Southborough community. Their food is always fresh and of high standards. You won't find "what exact part of the chicken is this?" In your dish-just tender and VERY plentiful chicken breast. They definitely don't skip on the quality protein, so much so that I find I am looking for more rice in the Fried Rice because there is so much meat (definitely NOT a complaint!). The fried rice it top notch, very flavorful & fresh. My daughter loves the chicken fingers-crisp & full of meat rather than all batter. My husband has explored much of the menu and has been pleased with every dish. And the food is almost as good when taking out. Drinks are good too! We aren't sushi eaters but it looks amazing. COVID-19-they are only open for take out and you can call or place your order online at yamasouthborough.com. Masks are worn by staff & customers. Several bottles of hand sanitizer are available on the pick up table. My only concern is when picking up everyone clusters into the 4x6 vestibule (pickup table is across the inside doorway). When I picked up last night (nice weather in mid September) there were 3 people in that area waiting plus the employee. I waited outside but it is difficult for them to know if a customer has arrived in that circumstance. Not sure how to fix it. I know they are doing the very best they can. read more

Driving on route 9, we stopped for coffee for the long ride and decided to find a quick take out for lunch. Food was prepared quickly and we got a notification it was ready. We ordered some sushi rolls and stir fried udon. Both were delicious entrees and we were pleasantly surprised. Sushi was fresh and avocados were ripe and soft. read more

Only disappointed that ramen isn't an option anymore post Covid. Wish they would bring it back even if it is just seasonally when the weather turns cold. That said, I love the creative sushi roll offerings. My friend ordered General Gao's chicken and it was a huge portion. I like to support local businesses that support their communities and Yama Fuji supports Rotary and other local community events. read more

-The beef and basil had negligible basil and two 1-2 whole onions -there wasn't anything green in the salad. - The duck rules, which are usually reliable, were a little sketchy. This may be our last trip to YamaFuji. Too bad! read more

I like to Recommend this restaurant for sushi lovers, i personally never like sushi until i meet the Mather of one of my students from New England Martial Arts, her name is Becky the owner of Yama Fuji, her place is Just awesome Yama Fuji Asian Cuisine, The food is always fresh and yummy, employees hands out fantastic service.

Very impressed! I eat sushi anywhere I can get it, specifically if they offer a maki roll lunch combo. You really cannot beat their cost, plus they give you miso AND salad with it! Got the 3 choice maki; eel cuke, philly, and spicy tuna. Rolls are a perfect size and awesome quality, especially for the price! I'm so glad I've found a new place over Samba in Framingham as their prices are sadly outgrowing their quality. Love love this place!!! New customer in me for sure! Will edit to add anything else I try in the future read more

YamaFuji - Asian Fusion Near Me - Southborough, Massachusetts

Best places to eat in Southborough. Great for take out Sushi is one of the best around this area of Mass, greta prices and friendly service. My family has been getting food here for years, they have an asian fusion menu so if you're craving pad thai and someone wants sushi, you can get both here. Their spring rolls and crab rangoons are unreal. Family owned business, we have gotten to know the staff well over the years. THEY DELIVER TOO! Southborough's hidden gem read more

My husband placed a sushi order on the phone for pick up. He specifically stated not to include avocado in anything. However, when he brought the order home, I discovered avocado in the veggie sushi (which is an ingredient that's an additional charge, for which we didn't request, and weren't charged for). Upon speaking with the manager, she didn't apologize or offer a solution. She simply asked if avocado was stated as an "allergy". If a customer clearly says they don't want this ingredient, that's unnecessary information. At this point, we're supposed to receive a credit for the veggie rolls. I don't think we'll be ordering from this restaurant anytime soon. read more

My wife and I ordered take-out from this location...we were VERY impressed with both the taste and the promptness of this business. They were also very clean in their pickup procedures. We ordered the: Hibachi lunch special - filet mignon Hibachi lunch special - steak Crab ragoons Crispy tuna wontons 3 assorted lunch sushi rolls Fried cheesecake Everything was GREAT! Would highly recommend. read more

Great sushi place!! I gave it 4 stars as whenever I have 3-4 sushi variety they try to jam pack everything in one box and it ends up turning sushis into mush and hard to pick and eat. Hope they recongize and fix this situation orher than that best sushi in this area. read more

It's good to give credit where it's due and the crew at Yama Fuji is still consistently putting out high quality food. Although New Rose has upped it's game recently, Yama is still the one to beat in the 'boro, imo. Recent faves are the age tofu and the gyoza. read more

My family and I came were visiting and came here based on the good reviews we saw. I can tell you that they were completely correct I got sushi and it was all fresh and delicious. Our waitress was caring and fast. My family got a mix of other things and I tried all of it and was extremely impressed. If I'm ever in the area again I'll be coming again! read more

YamaFuji - Got the dragon roll with tuna and eel - Asian Fusion Near Me - Southborough, Massachusetts

Wanted this to work... lots of take out orders being picked up so we felt good. Started with Spicy Tuna Pizza - spicy tuna, avocado, & spicy sauce on a Japanese pancake. A delicious starter though not spicy at all. Still, very tasty and I would recommend. For dinner, ordered several chef's choice rolls: Sexy Girl & Dancing Tuna. Took longer than average for sushi even though not very crowded. When the food arrived we had to remind our waitress that we needed wasabi plates. The soy sauce bottle cap was not on properly and made a mess. Overall, the service was just average but good food can usually overcome poor service. While the Spicy Tuna Pizza was a nice start the rolls were a big disappointment. The Sexy Girl is supposed to have spicy white tuna but if it did, it was mashed up...and a total waste of white tuna. There was nothing special about the Dancing Tuna either. We typically start with 2 rolls & add on. After tasting these, we decided to call it a night. 2 stars because I don't like going out to eat and going home hungry. Maybe the hibachi side is better. read more

It's just hit or miss here. I've had some pretty good sushi and then some that is really quite off putting. If you want to order run of the mill sushi - i.e spicy tuna, salmon, hamachi, etc etc, then you are safe and the food is good. I have eaten it a lot. Try anything special like toro and you are rolling the dice. Service.... people just don't seem that happy to work here. They also aren't very attentive. That makes a big difference in the dining experience. If I wanted to go to a place where people hate their jobs, I'd just hop over to the DMV and try and order a bagel. So minus one star for inconsistency and minus one for the service. That said my sushi standards are very high as I have eaten at some of the best places in the world... read more

First of all, the sushi is delicious. We ordered an assortment of sushi and specialty rolls including a soy paper rainbow roll, sex girl roll, and volcano roll. More importantly, we are appreciative that Yama Fuji has stayed open during this tumultuous COVID crisis. The online ordering and contactless pickup worked great. My wife and I have made a tradition of doing Friday sushi nights and many of our favorite places have closed their doors (hopefully just temporarily). Yama Fuji is a little further away than some of these other places and we hadn't been there for a few years. Now, we will likely be back on a weekly basis. Thanks for Yama Fuji for great sushi and fun Friday nights. Stay safe everyone! read more

We stopped by for lunch after a shoot in Southborough. Had the nicest waitress. Sushi was yummy. Fresh and nicely done. The whole experience was much better than I would have expected from yet another Strip Mall restaurant. Nice interrupt as well. I will go there ANY time I am in the area. read more

Sushi was fresh and delicious, service was polite and quick. Came for lunch and it was not crowded.

We went earlier in the day and were the only people in the restaurant at about 5:30-6 on a Friday. There was no music playing in the background so it was very quiet and a little awakes for us to talk. We ordered the hibachi ... if you are going for hibachi to see the show DO NOT go here. They cook it in their kitchen and bring it out to you. Our server was ok... didn't seem happy to be at work. The food was ok. It mostly tasted like burnt teriyaki sauce. read more

My wife and I had dinner at Yama Fuji tonight for the first time (it just opened a couple of weeks ago.) What a pleasant surprise. Everything we had was delicious. The service was good and the ambience very pleasant. I had the chirashi (pictured) and my wife had a Chinese seafood dish. Both were outstanding. The sashimi was among the best I have had. I highly recommend going there. read more

YamaFuji - Chirashi - Asian Fusion Near Me - Southborough, Massachusetts

Average at best. Fish quality was fine but their sushi rolls lacked flavor and originality. Pad Thai was the best of what we had. Was thinking based on the Yelp reviews that this restaurant would be much better. I wouldn't return as a customer and would look for another local option. read more

Good food. Fast service. Ordered the Thai basil chicken with rice. Too filling and worth for the price. One of my friend is a vegetarian and she forgot about the pad tai having egg. They were kind enough to replace with a non egg pad-Thai read more

The food here is more of an Asian "fusion" cuisine. It had Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese all in the same restaurant. I enjoyed this kind of variety, as my boyfriend likes Chinese more and I prefer Japanese. However, I would not recommend the sushi. Although it was a decent dish, not the best quality of sushi I'd ever had. It was mostly ground fish inside of a roll rather than whole pieces of fish atop a roll or rice. But even though it was still good in taste, I would not recommend as there are better sushi spots out there. The rest of the meals were incredible, I would definitely say that this place is great to go to if you are craving Chinese that doesn't come in a white paper box. Super yummy! Furthermore, I'd like to note that the service wasn't all that amazing. Our server was not attentive, did not refill drinks unless we flagged her down, and still did not check on us at all throughout the meal. Thankfully we didn't need much, but waitress-customer interaction would have been nice. read more

Went there for Sunday lunch today for the first time -EXCELLENT!!!! Set back in a nice strip mall in Southboro. The "Hulk" roll was excellent and the other roll we had superb!! Udon noodles both seafood and especially the beef were great too. I agree not too expensive by today's sushi prices (see Sudbury and downtown Boston). I can't think of a sushi place this good in Marlboro or even Hudson for that matter. Great service too. Place is brand new inside with big bar and Sports TV for watching Pats. Would definitely go there again. Yummy! read more

Yama Fuji has become my go-to for affordable sushi in the area. The restaurant is always clean, and the servers are friendly and attentive. The sushi rolls are very creative, and yummy, and the pad thai is great. They seem to have picked up in business, but Yama Fui is still nice and quiet, and I've never had to wait for a seat. read more

This review is based on the sashimi lunch and sashimi deluxe (dinner) only. I literally order here for take out at least once a week because it is pretty much the best sushi option near the area. Compared to Samba in Framingham or Minado in Natick, I think YamaFuji has the freshest fish and most reasonable price. Actually I lied in my first sentence. My big coworker friend ordered a steak hibachi lunch once and said it was good. You know it's good when a big dude says it's good. But either way, 5 stars when compared to the restaurants around the area. PAYCE read more

Sushi quality: I'd place them in the top 3 of good sushi places in metrowest--and we do have a few good ones. Ambiance: so so. Lots of families with young kids. Decent décor--really a good job for a strip mall location. Menu options: good variety. A place you can go with non sushi lovers and they will have lots of choices. Service: B+ read more

Good sushi, fair priced, outstanding service makes this place a preferred local sushi joint. I hope many of you readers go and support these folks who really aim to please!!! read more

Our waitress was very nice. I usually try to point out the positive in a review, but I cannot recommend the food here. The tuna in my roll seemed kind of old. The food was just not very fresh. I am so in love with sushi, and travel so much, maybe it has made me a sushi snob...I know the best places from Florida to Tennessee to Boston. I seriously don't mind paying for great sushi. But to spend $75 for three rolls and an appetizer with salads and have it taste so terrible was absolutely ridiculous. read more

Our local go-to sushi place. Sushi is always good as are the non fish items. Great for a family where not everyone is a sushi eater. Only downside is the place is a bit dark, but the food and service is very good. read more

Sushi here is incredible!! I have been waiting for a place to go have sashimi and creative rolls in this area for a LONG time. And finally, it's here!! Server was VERY friendly. Definitely try the Yama Fuji House Salad, if your into sashimi. The Golden Roll was also very tasty. Pad Thai was not traditional Thai style, but still yummy! One thing they could work on is the drinks. Pretty weak and tasteless. read more
