I was in town for business and this restaurant was pretty close to my hotel. I decided to visit this area after an Uber driver told me that was a nice place to have dinner and walk around. I was craving for some Japanese food so this was my option for the night. I got there around 7pm and they were busy but nothing crazy. Since I was by myself I decided to sit at the bar. The staff was really nice and since I was sitting at the bar near the guys who were preparing the sushi I got many samples of sushi for free which I though was very cool. I has a drink that I do not recall the name but was really good. I had the Lobster rangoon that I LOVED and really recommend and two different types of rolls: Philadelphia and another one I don't remember the name but it had shrimp, avocado and cucumber. I really enjoyed my meal, their menu has many interesting options. Too bad I live out of town, if not I would dine in place all the time. If you like Japanese food this is a must go while in town! read more

Amazing sushi, especially in the Medford area it is hard to find something this good. The service here is top notch as well, very friendly staff and very patient for any questions that we have. The plates that they use are so beautiful, in fact I'd like to buy the same set if I could find them. Dessert we ordered green tea tiramisu, the cream on the top is good, but the cake is too dry. But overall, I'd recommend this place. read more

Ordered for delivery with my boyfriend the other night, were surprised that there was only one set of chopsticks for all that we ordered... until we realized just how minuscule/overpriced the portions were. And on top of that, no ginger or wasabi was included! Also, the food itself was... just mediocre. read more

Great service and food. You are definitely paying for the freshness of the sushi and made to order food. We have had excellent service over and over again from Clark and Brian. Reasonable prices for the portion size. You won't be leaving hungry! read more

Popped in for an on the whim sushi dinner after work tonight. Id seen Fuji on phantom gourmet and heard some great things. MAN - my expectations were exceeded. We sat to the sushi bar and were immediately given a gorgeously presented seared salmon teaser - unreal! Blair was behind the sushi bar and recommended we do their version of a chefs tasting, I was a little skeptical because sometimes I can be a little picky but we customized our tasting and eliminated a few ingredients and they absolutely nailed it! Each course was better than the next and the service was insane! I can't wait to go back and do it again - so fresh and delicious. Oh and bonus round: Blair started as a bartender at Fuji so she hooked us up with a couple incredible cocktails from the bar! I was a regular at another sushi spot and I've been converted! Fuji for life read more

While dining in this upscale restaurant in Seaport, I feel so happy and grateful to be alive. And I don't feel a bit sad for chewing away a full plate of sushi and a bowl full of disappointment on the side. Because there is always tomorrow. A tomorrow when I can forget about that I ever had this meal, forget all of this while enjoying an obscenely delicious meal from Fuji at Assembly. It isn't cheap but it isn't expensive, either. They deserve every single penny and more. I have mixed feelings about Fuji for essentially making every other sushi restaurant look like mediocre late night food corner for drunk crowds with very low expectations and possibly very low life expectancy and such at 2am. Thanks Obama. I hope these guys survive this pandemic. Even though it is still only Take out, food is still amazing. I got hungry again just thinking about it. Maybe I'll post another review in two hours. read more

I was pretty disappointed with this place. And I'm kind of embarrassed I brought my friend here for his birthday. We got a few rolls and a sushi boat 1 ($45) which comes with an assortment of rolls, sashimi, and nigiri. I love sushi but the fish here was terrible quality. The raw fish were all pretty tasteless. And the sashimi cuts were really small. Also sushi boats are usually meant for sharing, so I would assume the sashimi and nigiri would come with at least 2 pieces of EACH fish (1 for each person). But they only came with 1 of each fish. Do you know how terrible it is to have to hesitantly ask if its ok if you eat the only salmon sashimi?? The restaurant itself is rlly nice. And the waiters were nice enough to give us a dessert on the house for my friend's bday. If you decide to come here, I would stick with their Makis or other cooked entrees cuz their raw fish is just too disappointing read more

Amazing dinner. We loved everything we ordered and the service was exceptional. A must try if you are gluten free- so many options for you !!! read more

The food was excellent. The portions were large. Three service was meh. It wasn't bad but there was room to improve. I did like that a supervisor walked the dining area to check on guests. I will absolutely go back. read more

Wow, we didn't have any expectations going in, but the drinks and rolls were amazing. Will definitely be back.

Delicious sushi. The lobster ragoo is amazing here! I love their mango sushi rolls. Great service, a little slow but the premium quality food here makes up for it THEIR "socially awkward" drink and pear cocktail are the two best drinks I've had in a while .. Honestly they were so delicious. I think the socially awkward is comprised of vanilla, cinnamon, Apple cider and vodka .. So good! Huge parking lot right outside read more

I come here virtually every Friday with coworkers for lunch.I have yet to eat anything that hasn't been superb! The spicy fried rice is my favorite, but the sushi is incredible too. There's also lots of vegetarian and meat/chicken options for those of us with dietary restrictions! The best part of Fuji though is the service! We always eat at the bar and the bartender, Ray, who not only knows our standard orders, including the special or substitutions we make, but also knows our names keeps up with what we're doing. He's always friendly and on top of our orders - one of the reasons I love coming here. read more

Excellent service on a hot Saturday afternoon after a movie. I can't get over how satisfying everything was that we ordered, all just right. Maybe we just made lucky choices, but the fried calamari was spicy and light, the chicken lettuce wraps were so fresh and filling, the sushi combo was elegant and came with four kinds of roe as garnish, and the desserts were next level (you must trie the tempura cheesecake). The atmosphere was so chill, it had a cool sedate vibe unlike anything else at Assembly. Can't wait to go back and try the Thai and Chinese dishes. Our waitress Diana had no trouble enticing us with those desserts, the mood is decadent too. read more

The staff was amazing! Food was absolutely delicious! I would go back to Fuji at Assembly anytime!

We went with a group of 10 people and tried their Maki, Nigiri, Sashimi, and Udon. The restaurant is located in Assembly Row and there's plenty of parking. We reserved a table for 10 a few hours in advance without any issues. We were seated promptly after our party arrived. Food: We ordered Hamachi, Sake, Unagi, Uni, Toro, and Tamago Nigiri (two pieces per order) and Beef Udon. The fish was texture was fair but not as fresh as I prefer my Sushi. The Uni definitely was not fresh, it tasted bitter and was borderline inedible. The Udon surprisingly was the best thing I had here. Our other friends ordered a sushi boat for two and couldn't eat it all so we helped out. The Maki was decent but it was not much better than a roll you would find at the a cheaper sushi restaurant. The Sashimi suffered from the same problems as the Nigiri did. Overall this would not be my first choice for Sushi but I might come back for some cooked udon. read more

We love coming here for sushi! Every sushi place I have been to gets your food out quickly, but this place is the quickest! The spicy tuna and space salmon rolls are our favorite! They have really perfected those rolls the only comment I can make about why I didn't give them 5/5 stars is that their rolls are small in size when comparing to other sushi places. read more

This place is pretty good. I came in yesterday for lunch after doing some shopping and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was all very polite and the restaurant itself was quite nice. I ended up getting one of the Maki lunch specials that included a shrimp tempura roll, and a roll called the "cruncheese" roll (smoked salmon, cream cheese maki - flash fried). The special came with miso soup and a ginger salad. I was very satisfied. Both maki rolls were delicious. Especially the chruncheese roll. Turns out deep fried sushi is unreal. I even enjoyed the miso soup a lot, and normally I'm not as huge fan. My only complaint was some of the things outside of the lunch specials menu are expensive for what you get. I ordered edamame, and for $6 the portion was quite small. I recommend sticking to lunch specials, or Maki/ bento specials for dinner. I've tried the other Fuiji locations, but this one was my favorite. Will come back. read more

Sitting at the sushi bar made our experience a 5 star experience. Their special plates (off menu) are some of the best I've tasted. The waitress that served us was very nice and helpful. The reason I am giving a four star, however, is because the sushi that we ordered from their menu is average. I ordered their sashimi plate, along with some a la carte nigiris such as uni and ebi. I was a little disappointed at the tiny ebis placed into one piece. The calamari was crispy and delicious. Ox tail soup was unique. The Green Tea Tiramisu dessert is a must!!! read more

The decoration in this restaurant is modern and beautiful. An environment is really good as well. Staffs are very active, in a good mood, and professional. Even if it was very busy at that time when I went there, staffs could manage very thing very well. A staffs who serviced out table is super nice. He knew every detail in the menu and was able to explain them deeply. He and chef gave us a complimentary dish, torched salmon in special sauce, and it was so gooddd! However, I think the price is pretty high if compare with a quality and quantity of fish from other restaurants, but overall is good- great! read more

First visit: The atmosphere is great. This place looks very new and modern. Staffs were very nice as far as I could tell. I wish I wasn't pregnant so I could try their sushi/sashimi but maybe next time. Price is not cheap but it's not bad. Food wasn't all that great but we didn't really order "sushi/sashimi" other than just some rolls. Next time we go after I deliver, will order some real sushi and update it. Update: Came back twice more after the first review and just had to update the review. Visited here with my husband and mom. Almost wish I didn't. We ordered some Udon noodle soup cause it was just so cold out. I've had probably thousands of Udon dish in my life. Their broth that day or maybe just all the time was so bland. I asked for some more "sauce" or soy sauce, the manager came and said this is how Udon is served. My mom visits Japan to see her best friend multiple times a year and I grew up in Korea where great Japanese food is just everywhere. I don't expect you to teach me about a dish that I've had countless times. My husband wanted to try their Chinese food and was also disappointed. Funny thing was the server came and said "if you want, I will take them off of your bill" and my husband said no. It was insulting that your food SUCKS and I simply asked for some more sauce without complaining, you come and basically say tell me that I don't know how this food tastes like and you "offer" to take them off of the bill like that was my plan. We paid for the food and service and left. Then next we wanted some Japanese beer and came again which was a mistake. Sat at the bar and ordered Uni, Toro (it was something like $28) and Ama-ebi with beer. Ama-ebi was very good. It was three little shrimps instead of one on top of rice but it was nice. Uni wasn't kept cold. Extremely bitter after taste which is a bad bad bad sign for Uni. And yes we had it almost as soon as it came out. It is supposed to be kept ice cold so this bitter taste doesn't happen or maybe just poor quality. Toro (and yes $28 is NOT expensive at all for Toro) was not really Toro.. It is supposed to melt in your mouth. I could feel the white tendon (?) part which wasn't soft at all and almost chewy. Had many Toro in my life and that was my first disappointing experience here. After these two visit, I just have to change my rating. Probably would not return. Sad that this was very close Japanese restaurant but I have to find something else. read more

Great service at the sushi bar. The sushi is really fresh and the presentation is beautiful! I am from Texas but find my way here every time I'm in town. Love it! The only thing I'd recommend to change is the music. It is pretty loud and poppy which doesn't go with the rest of the ambiance. read more

Fuji is, by far, the best sushi restaurant I've been to. It's my go-to whenever I crave some raw fish for dinner. I've never had to wait very long and most times they seat us right away. The restaurant has a dark and romantic ambience to it (for dinner, I've never been here for lunch) and I love it. It sets the mood when you're on a date with a special someone. I don't have any complaints about the entrees and dessert. Everything is just exquisite. read more

The food here is awesome! I love the setting and how kind everyone was. I was never a big sushi person and I didn't know what I was missing out on until I ate at Fuji's! My server Crystal was awesome and she took the time to explain the menu to me. I definitely recommend this place! (p.s the drink sex on the mystic is amazing) read more

My food was alright (especially considering the fact that I have so many food allergies) but my date tried to order a Japanese vegetable which our server (who's worked there for a year and had never heard of it) said the kitchen didn't have. My date was not impressed but the sushi she got. My drink was way too strong and was not good. And the fruit flies! They kept attacking our food and drinks from the moment we sat down through to the end of the meal. Food isn't as appetizing when you have to swat flies trying to land in it every two seconds. I'll pass. read more

WEEKEND LUNCH REVIEW Came here for lunch with 3 others on a Saturday around 12:45 and were seated immediately. SETTING: modern, clean, very inviting. Doesn't give off an authentic, old-school Asian restaurant vibe but that's also not what it's going for. FOOD: The menu is large in that it has both cooked Asian Fusion dishes as well as sushi. You could go several times and not even make a dent in a menu so admittedly this review can't be on all the food but I did enjoy the food I had. VEGETABLE GYOZA - perfectly pan-seared with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce. Highly-recommended. STIR-FRIED CHICKEN UDON NOODLES - I think I could have eaten 3 bowls of this. The noodles were thick but slurpable and the chicken was well-cooked. I added some chili oil to make it a bit spicier BROCCOLI CHICKEN - My girlfriend had this but only ended up eating half so I started to pick at it and ended up finishing it myself. Great flavor, nothing spicy here. Only watch-out is that it's on the oily side so make sure to be careful and not drop the food back in the bowl or it'll splash you! Overall, a nice dining experience and I'd love to come back. read more

Coming from LA for the weekend & I decided to come out to Assembly Square for some shopping & a meal. As a big sushi fanatic, I decided to give Fuji a try. My host/bartender Raymond is a friendly & very cool person. As a traveler, I asked him what's popular here. He offered the "Rowing Down The Mystic" roll. Hands down one of the best & most tender rolls I've had. The bento box is highly worth it for the price. He suggested the stir fry cumin beef & it was amazing. Stir fry with pineapple?! Out of this world in flavor. Overall I had a great meal with very friendly service. Ask for Raymond whenever you give this place a try! read more
