What People Are Saying About Fugakyu Japanese Cuisine

The Scene
The city's largest Japanese restaurant has a dynamic interior that wouldn't be out of place in Disney World: From the sushi bar's moat (and its circling, sushi-carrying wooden boats) to the bi-level dining areas' screened-off private rooms and projection screens, a meal here promises a unique experience. Bilingual, kimono-clad waitresses wear headsets to ensure that nothing gets lost in the translation with the kitchen and sushi bar. There's also a stylish, discreet cocktail lounge, ideal for an intimate rendezvous over a pear saketini.
The Food
From the kitchen's delicious tempura and seafood dishes to the sushi bar's unrivaled variety of inventive rolls, Fugakyu covers Japanese cuisine with aplomb. While many patrons stick to familiar fare like pork dumplings and shrimp teriyaki, adventurous diners gravitate toward offbeat offerings like thinly sliced ostrich steak. Don't leave without trying a palate-pleasing dessert of lightly battered green-tea ice cream with red-bean paste.

Well, actually, there might be better, but this is one of the best i have eaten in the area. the slices are really thick, and the fish are really fresh. i always take my friends out here, and when i was in high-school, i use to come here for lunch during my free-blocks at least three times a week!! the interior is really elegant, and this restaurant was actually shot a few time in films. pretty cool place

I've eaten at Fugakyu at least a dozen times by now and have never had a bad experience. On off nights there's never more than a 10 minute wait, if that, and Thurs-Sat nights the wait is never as long as they say it will be. The most I've waited is 25 minutes and that only gives you an opportunity to check out their fabulous bar with its trendy but unpretentious atmosphere and 2 flatscreen TVs. The service is attentive but no-nonsense and the food is usually served quickly and as soon as it's ready. If you want your mind blown you must order the spicy tuna salad. Trust me. You'll go back for more.
