“I visited this restaurant for the first time on a weekday in May 2025, and had lunch. It was superb! Delicious food, good service, good music, and a very attractive interior..... and this little storefront eatery is located right there on fashionable King Street. I highly recommend Fuji Sushi on Upper King.“

“Quickly became my favorite place. I've enjoyed everything I've tried, but I keep going back to the Anna Roll.“

“absolute best sushi and sashimi I've ever had“

“Food is awesome! Friendly staff, local owners. We are regulars here!“

“Love the sushi here. It’s always so empty, I’d love to see it busier so it stays in business. The sushi is actually so good and it’s always consistent. I’ve been here probably 7 times now and every time it’s amazing. Try the last sushi roll!“

“The food was decent but order was wrong. I ordered 3 sushi rolls, a seaweed salad & chicken fried rice for carry out. Instead of a seaweed salad I got a bowl with iceberg lettuce topped with avocado (house salad maybe?). Instead of the chicken fried rice I received a teriyaki chicken bowl. It all tasted good except I was disappointed in the Angry Dragon Roll I received - it has mango in it but the mango in the roll was so under ripe you couldn’t even tell what it was & it was very hard. I ordered this on a Wednesday night and it was dead inside when I picked it up. If I give them another chance I’ll definitely be checking the order before walking out with it.“

“Delicious food, great atmosphere and unique drink options. Highly recommend.“

“We come to Kiawah Island for many years. One of our high high Lights is dining at Aji. We are from New Jersey and had the pleasure of having dined with on the delicacies created by Tim at our local sushi restaurant and are jealous that folks in Charleston have access to this great restaurant. We look forward to returning later in the year.“

“Gabe and the other employees are amazing . They always go above and beyond for the customer no matter what . I usually only deal with Gabe but there are 2 others there I like as well that always serve me. They are top notch the owners should defintly give them all pay raises because they are all exceptional workers. The food always hits the spot taste and substance wise.“

“We had Preston as our server. Although my kids have had sushi before, it was their first time at a sushi restaurant. He handled it wonderfully & we ate every bite! Highly recommend 😄“

“Best Hibachi in town. It’s not a sit down place, kind of looks a little sketchy from outside. Prices are fair, especially for Charleston. Plenty of food, and some for leftovers. I like that they don’t load up a bunch of onions and you actually get a decent amount of zucchini, broccoli, and mushrooms.“

“Good food at great prices, friendly accommodating staff.“
