I was hesitant as reading the reviews after ordering and waiting for our food ? But we were not disappointed at all. Order 3 sushi rolls, mexi, crunchy and caterpillar. Miso soups and rice... Everything was delicious ?...My rating 4.4 stars

While it is the only sushi restaurant in the area, that doesn't take away from how great the food is. Every time I'm in Big Bear I come here.

Owners were very kind and helpful. Happy hour was from 5 - 7pm and was a great deal, half off select nigiri and some other deals. Owner came out and sang happy birthday to my girlfriend.

Unfortunately have to give this place 2 stars at best. Although our server seemed sweet she constantly kept leaving us and never taking our order. We only were able to order drinks. Then basically nothing was available, the server had to literally keep checking with each item we asked if it was available. Approximately 30 minutes went by before we decided to just leave. Still charged us for the tea and sake. I would have rather spent that money elsewhere where they actually had food.Parking: Theres a few free parking spots.

I personally will never forget my experience here. I came out to big bear to attend this Oktoberfest a while back and I had a ton of time to kill. Was looking for good food and good times, I vividly remember walking down "Pine Knot St" that is filled with a ton of restaurants and each one was jam packed with people so I could've gone to any of them but for some odd reason none of them stuck out to me. I kept on walking and stumbled across this completely empty sushi spot. I remember entering and being immediately greeted by the most friendliest staff ever, took a seat and ate some amazing sushi. I was there for hours getting to know the staff, drinking sake and just having a blast. I had so much fun that I attended the Oktoberfest the next day and came back to eat dinner. I always tell this story to many people because you should never judge a book by the cover. This completely empty (at the time) sushi spot with some "bad reviews" ended up being one of the most amazing places I've ever been to. I definitely need to come back and visit again.

I didn't get to taste how good the food is here. At 6:15p, still early. They were so grossly understaffed that I did not get to order until after 20 minutes of sitting at a table, and I walked up to the owner lady to place our order.After 20 minutes of waiting with no water, I checked on the status and they haven't even started and said it would be another 15 minutes. During that time, they had to turn away at least 20 people saying that there's an hour wait.I get it they're an old couple and they can only do so much, and it's a busy weekend, but I'm sure it's not their first rodeo.So don't go to Fuji unless you can wait over an hour

Awful food The portions sizes are so small and not one thing was cooked even remotely well. My dad's sushi was overcooked and no one was satisfied with the food. Service was terrible and the food took forever to come. Do not go here.

Terrible food. Terrible service. They don't know how to cook their meats at all. Smallest parking lot in the world. There was no one in the restaurant and they told everyone that it was a 45 minute wait. All the customers had to ask for their checks. Not really sure why they're in business at all. Don't go there!!!!

Jan, 2024 Sunday afternoon, we got our food and it wasn't good at all. Cold miso soup , hot green tea taste like tap water, and the sushi rolls were definitely not fresh. Got the bill and did not tip because of everything mentioned above . She had the balls to say "why no tip?" After I explained the reason she said "maybe you should have ate taco bell". The balls on this lady . Yea Iam Mexican.
SKIP IT. I wanted to turn around and leave the moment we walked in. But the family said no let's stay. In fact I almost drove right past it, and should have. Overpriced, under delivers. An udon soup w noodles and bad dark meat was $16 - No veggies in it. LAME. Sushi Presentation was beautiful, with 6 different items each either tasted bland or BAD. I've had sushi in the desert 100 times that is 10 times better, so a mountain in CA should be just as fresh. Paid over $100 for $30-40 quality. Threw half of it away.

Ordered and waited for over an hour. The tables before us got food, and the host came to say that they ran out of food and can't serve us. They did it on purpose. Worst restaurant ever. The cup for water was also not cleaned.

Service was welcoming and food was delicious. Great soup for a cold day. Would definitely recommend them again
