Reviews for Fuji Restaurant Sushi & Teppanyaki in Big Bear Lake, CA

Love this place! We get the albacore, salmon and uni usually here. Great beer + sake selection!

The food was absolutely outstanding, I recommend the rice Krispy roll! The service was great. They were incredibly sweet. The... atmosphere was as if we were in a mom and pop shop of an Japanese movie. I highly recommend, it is on the smaller side but thefood is soo good???? Read more

The sushi was 'ok'. It wasn't very tasteful, but we definitely had worse too. The sushi are small. And it just didn't have that... much flavour. I would not recommend eating here. Staff is friendly by the way. So, that counts for something. Read more

Best sushi in Big Bear. Fresh fish, well prepared. Friendly staff, very clean, and fair prices. I have eaten sushi there for... many years. They never disappoint me. Read more

OMG, this was delicious and the staff, chef and owners were very nice and fun to talk with at the sushi bar. I'm from out of... town and asked my hotel where a good steak or sushi restaurant was and Fuji was the only sushi they knew of. I was happilydelighted by the service and quality of food!! I also happen to come in just after 5:00 p.m. when they opened and found thatthey had happy hour on an entire menu of things from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. I highly recommend you try it out if you love sushi andate in then are the Big Bear area!! We had 7 orders of nigiri (14 prices), a sashimi platter, baked green muscles, salmon skinhand roller, a hot tea and a large hot sake for only $84. Read more

The staff were amazing and attentive. Whenever i had a request, they fullfilled (though my requests were can i get a bottle of... cold Sake, can i get a box and the check) The place was cozy, very old astetic. Someone mentioned 80s, yes i wouldagree. However the food was not the greatest. Questionable even. My california roll and two sushi, clam and salmon, seemedwarm. The clam was not fresh. The albacor sushi was good. Very flavorful and cold as it should have been. I also ordered beefteriyaki and tempura. Beef had fatty parts that most likley should have been more cooked. Still the fatty bits were the mostdelicious. I know some people dislike those in their meat. But overall, the beef was nice and sweet. The tempura was ok. Onlytwo shrimp. The other temoura was onion or a vegatable. I did mot care for those. The salad was not fresh. And not cold tempeither. The miso soup was great! I had come around 4 or 5pm. It was empty which i liked but i wondered if it had to do withtheir reviews. 3 other other customers came in around 5-530. Funny thing was that one of the older women came from the kitchenfor a break. She saw me and asked me if i knew how to fix it(she pointed at the rawfish fridge at the sushibar). I guess thatswhy some of the stuff wasnt cold. The whole restauraunt was kind of warm too. No ac. Also, somehow i paid 62 dollars. Oh well. Read more

The good, the owner is the happiest drunk I have ever met, he?s the guy sitting up front (missing teeth) sipping on miso mixed... with Saki. The sushi is terrible, they are understaffed and take forever to make and serve sushi. Read more

Honestly it was more our fault for expecting anything out of a sushi restaurant in Big Bear. This just ain't the place for it.... The shisho leaf, just like everything here, wasn't fresh. The gyoza was mediocre. The sashimi and the Hamachi roll wereultimately inedible. The photos honestly do a service to the food. The phone's auto editing qualities provide way more color andpop than is actually there. The food was pretty bland and grey. The service was rather confusing and messed up on what we hadordered. It turned out for the best since we ended up just wanting to leave as quickly as possible. All in all, our expectationswere way too high, it's not a horrible sushi place if you keep in mind the setting. Read more
