Came here over the weekend for dinner and ordered several different rolls to share. The sushi was just okay -- nothing really stood out, but fine for a quick bite. The experience was almost pleasant until the bill arrived with an automatic 20% service charge added. The total came to about $100, with a suggested 20% minimum tip on top of that. What really bothered me was how the waitstaff handled the payment -- they brought over portable card readers, preselected the service charge for you, and stood there watching as you paid, making it awkward to question or change it. The device was hardcode with only tipping amounts of 20% | 30% | 40% selection. This was not an upscale high end place that commands this type of tipping. Or else i would happily oblige. I noticed other tables were treated the same way. Overall, the food was mediocre, and the 20% suggested tipping approach left a bad impression. read more

This place is located at a very convenient location near offices & public transit, though it can take awhile for food to be served. Sushi is pretty good and fresh, but can be a little pricey. I got the gourmet lunch set for $30 and would recommend ordering apps or other rolls to make sure you leave with a full stomach! read more

I had a delivery of sushi rolls and was extremely disappointed. The rolls are so small and extremely overpriced. Quality of fish was average. The picture of this item on DoorDash was deceiving- it shows 12 rolls and actually came in 6 tiny rolls I will not consider ordering again or going to this place in person read more

Went with two coworkers today. The food was very good. Seemingly fresh. Tasty! Nice. It took about 30 minutes 30 minutes from ordering to food delivery, not sure if this is standard, but it seemed a while. One person asked for a sauce to be added to their roll, it wasn't. He then asked if he could get it on the side, it was delivered but wasn't what he asked for. It's a standard sauce. The food was very good. Service friendly but slow (our sodas were never topped off). Just give yourself time, my suggestion. read more

I came here with coworkers for a quick lunch, and there is a decent amount of dining space, allowing us to seat a large party of over 10 people. After ordering, our food arrived somewhat slowly, but with a large party, this was understandable. I tried a bento box that included California rolls, gyoza, tempura, and a small salad, with a main dish of chicken teriyaki salmon. The portion size was perfect for one, but the taste was not as delicious as I expected for a relatively nice-looking restaurant. I wish it had a little more unique or potent flavors, but overall, it's a good option for an easy lunch! read more

This was my second time at Fuji and I got to try a few more sushi rolls. The rolls only came with six pieces each, but they were pretty substantial, especially the makimono specials. In fact, it was a bit of a challenge to eat each piece in one bite! Next time I will have to try some of their non-sushi offerings. I could tell the ingredients were of high quality and the rice was cooked perfectly. They put a good amount of tobiko and other toppings on each piece. I think they could have added a bit less sauce on some of the rolls, especially the eel, because some bites were very sweet. Overall, still a big fan. Good spot for sushi if you're looking for a nicer ambiance. The staff is attentive and helpful, and they are helpful with recommending dishes! read more

Came here after skating at the Kendall rink and I absolutely loved the sushi, the Mai tai, and the service! Everything was super tasty and the place was quaint. Quick and polite service. The rolls were great. The only thing I wish they had on this menu was the truffle roll they have on the Fuji Inkblock menu but other wise the Flaming Red Maki and Spicy Tuna roll I got were amazing! read more

The sushi here was fresh and delicious! This was one of my favorite spicy tuna rolls that I've ever had, it has a great amount of flavor, crunch, and the portion size is pretty good too. I also got the salmon, tuna, and yellowtail sushi. My favorite was the yellowtail sushi by far. If I order from here again I would probably just get the yellowtail since I liked those much better than the tuna and salmon sushi. I also got the seaweed salad which was very good and was a huge portion! They gave a nice amount of soy sauce on the side and even a little tin boat to put the soy sauce in. The ambiance when I walked in was great and the inside looked super cute. I did takeout so I can't talk too much about service but the hostesses were very nice and the order was ready for pickup at the estimated time. read more

Love Fuji Kendall but it won't be the cheapest sushi meal. The quality is surely worth it however. Personally I just go for the classic rolls so I don't really try anything crazy at any sushi place, so my go tos are salmon avocado and spicy tuna. Both of these dishes are crazy good, and one thing I tried here that I love, is the seared toro nigiri. Oh my god - melt in your mouth so you must try! I work in the area and this is my favourite lunch joint. Follow me on@sophiaeaaats for more! read more

It's been a while since I been here. The inside has more of a modern look. We got the Boat 2 which was 40 Pieces, crispy duck clay pot, toro, and seared sake Toro. The duck skin was super crispy like a Peking duck from Chinatown. The Toro and sake Toro were so buttery in texture. The boat has so many delicious pieces but the Maki was my favorite. Service was great but it a bit pricy. Good spot for a nice out read more

Great lunch spot with excellent food! Parking garages nearby as street parking can be rough to come by.

THIS PLACE SUCKS. OVER PRICED AND THE FOOD WAS NOT GOOD. spent $65 on two speciality rolls (8 pieces) + salmon maki (8 pieces) and the worst chicken teriyaki of my life. PLUS no miso soup!!!! they forgot it!!!!! the rolls: not good and overpriced. wish i skipped it. does not taste good, not super fresh. teriyaki chicken: chicken was dryer than my humor (huehuehue) & it looked like they just cut up chicken and threw some soy sauce on it (peep the photo if yoh don't believe me) trust me. i will NOT be back. i don't recommend this place. save your money, $65 can get you far better japanese food elsewhere. in fact, I'm sitting w my friend right now talking about how we wish we ordered dominoes instead #life read more

(Last visited 3/24/2021.) While working at M.I.T. in Cambridge (basically Boston) and staying at the Hotel Marlowe I'm within walking distance of several nice restaurants. Back in August of 2020 my fiancée and I were in the area where we tried to pay Fuji a visit, but they were only offering takeout service at the time so we went elsewhere because we wanted to sit in to eat. You know, date night stuff. Well, I'm back on my own and they're still only doing takeout, but I really wanted sushi... so here goes! Atmosphere/Appearance: Based right on the corner of Linskey Way and 3rd Street is this gem. It's an elongated style restaurant with the bar and main dining room being to the right of the entrance with more dining off to the left. The décor is so chic and elegant. Everything is so nice, high-quality, laid out well and mature. This place gave me great vibes. Service: Since I had to get my food to-go, I didn't experience much service, but Andy at the host stand took excellent care of me. He was friendly and I really appreciated how welcoming he was. Food: So I went with an appetizer and 3 of their specialty rolls, which are called Makimono Specials. First up was the spicy edamame appetizer. They were delicious and not as salty as I expected them to be given the added spice, which was a good thing! The first of the Makimono rolls was the Boston Maki which is simply, smoked salmon and avocado wrapped inside of sticky white rice. It was delicious. The salmon was soft, had an amazing smoked flavor and the avocado paired nicely with it. Next up was the special of the week, the Hot Hamachi Roll, which was an interesting mixture of Hamachi, jalapeno and mango stuffed inside a rice roll then topped with more hamachi, umi and sweet sauce. This was very interesting. It wasn't my favorite combination of flavors, but the quality was definitely grand. Last, but not least, but certainly the most interesting was the Philly Cheese Steak Maki. Yes, I was brave enough to try it. It's sliced sirloin beef, cheddar cheese and peppers stuffed inside a rice roll then topped with seared cheese and tomato mayonnaise. This too, wasn't my favorite. The flavors were okay, but it wasn't what I was expecting to taste. It's hard to explain. Lol. So 1 out of 3 of the rolls I tried were really good to me, but that's at no fault of the restaurant. I went and tried some pretty wild things. Value: Spicy Edamame = $7.00 Hot Hamachi Maki = $16.00 (6 pieces) Boston Maki = $7.50 (6 pieces) Philly Cheese Steak Maki = $9.00 (6 pieces) It's sushi so if you've ever eaten at a sushi restaurant then you already know what to expect. This place is no different, but the food is absolutely worth the price. The quality is absolutely there. The décor is so lovely and well thought-out. The experience is worth it. In conclusion, though I didn't love some of my food choices, that will not deter me from coming back to try more of their menu. The quality is superb and I love what this place stands for. Give them a try if you're in the area! If you've made it this far and haven't gotten enough... feel free to check out my YouTube channel where I give a video review of Fuji At Kendall Square and paste this link into your browser "https://youtu.be/1CE3bQk90MM" or search "The Hungry Road" on YouTube!

Pretty good sushi spot in Kendall Square! They have lunch specials offered, as well as a bar. I came on a weekday during lunch and it was pretty busy. I lucked out and got seated quickly which I was thankful for. I got one of the specials which had a variety of cut rolls, a side salad, and miso soup. The sushi seemed to be fresh and tasty- what more could you ask for? My total was about $20 before tax, which is reasonable in my opinion. I'll be back for more :) read more

Fuji is our go-to place locally for sushi and Asian-inspired food that will never disappoint at the price point. They also will not blow you away with any crazy creative dishes based on our experiences there. The value-to-price here is spot-on which is not something we have experienced a lot in Cambridge. Typically you see a higher price point than expected for what you get which is not the case here. However, everything is pretty basic from a food perspective. That's not a bad thing, but with a lot of competition in the area it's not a place that I would rave about the food either. It's well-executed, fresh, not oily, and that is what I've come to expect from a place of this stature. It's a solid choice and one that we've visited multiple times. At the end of the day, Fuji offers a great menu of Asian-inspired food and extremely well-executed sushi. While we would not select it for a special occasion or date night, it is our go-to sushi place in the area and never disappoints. read more

I've been to other Fuji branches and this is definitely a smaller one. It is close to a T stop making it very accessible. I was here on a Friday night around 8pm (an hour before closing) with a friend. Their menu is very detailed and we weren't sure what to order. We ended up getting a Boat to split between two people. The boat had a variety of options from sashimi and regular rolls. The service was nice and kind and they even came around for last call. Great experience, would definitely be back. read more

Got Uber eats from Fuji Kendall because they had a vegetarian bento box option. I was really excited because I'm vegetarian and most places don't have this so I was willing to overlook the price. Online it said the vegetarian bento box includes white rice, gyoza, an avocado cucumber roll, salad, soup, assorted vegetable tempura, and vegetable harumaki. I ordered the veggie bento box plus a sweet potato roll. The order took over an hour and a half to get delivered and by the time I received my food all the hot items were cold. When I opened up my bento box I saw they gave me raw veggies instead of vegetable tempura. My sweet potato roll also did not have tempura in it - it was just a cooked sweet potato. I'm really upset because I did not say I didn't want tempura on my order. Additionally, I did not get the pieces of vegetable harumaki or the rice that is supposed to come in the bento box. How do you forget rice in a bento box?! That's literally one of the most important parts. The food itself was ok, but the soup that came with the order was basically inedible and the total price of my order was $30 plus Uber fees - which was ridiculous for what I received. If they had actually given me what I asked for I might try this place again but because this happened I won't be ordering from here again. Vegetarians especially - avoid! read more

Not really worth the price. Compared to some other Japanese restaurants like Nagomi or Shiki, this one has higher price and lower quality food. Also, why is the base tip 20%? read more

Solid sushi spot with full spectrum of Asian fusion entrees and a full bar. On a chilly night, the kimchi soup hits the spot with a nice tuna/avocado/crab roll and you're in business. The salt and pepper calamari was good but actually a lot more chewy than I would've expected. Will definitely come here again and explore the menu a bit further. read more

Very disappointed. This is the second time I'm here. In opposite to the first one, this was a bad experience for me. At least 3 little flies were flying around my food the whole time!

Came here with a friend on a weekday evening and it was pretty empty (pre-pandemic). I guess we ate dinner a little early, but we were the only people in the restaurant and it was still around 6pm. We ordered a couple of sushi rolls and I feel like the fish quality wasn't anything special. For the price, I think I've had better sushi and this place is just okay to satisfy a craving that you have. During the evening, it's more dimly met and sets the mood for a romantic night out. I really appreciated the interior decoration and liked the organized set up of the tables and chairs. I also thought the tables were set up pretty cutely. It might be a nice place to take a date out, especially if your order some of the more expensive options (didn't try them, but the food might be better). read more

Went in for a solo dinner last night. Great scallop sushi roll and creative cocktails.. excellent relaxed and friendly service :)

I've been here several times and it never disappoints. It's not cheap, but the sushi is delicious, portions are excellent, and the ambiance is great ... More upscale than many sushi restaurants in the area (on the classy side), but it works for any type of dining: date night, lunch, or even bringing your kids. They also have a huge, big bar where you can eat. Short walk from the Kendall T stop with ample street parking. read more

I came several times when they were running an anniversary promotion and I ended up ordering several things off their non-promo menu. I can confidently say that I have never had a bad dish here; everything is delicious and priced similarly to other restaurants in the area. The vibe seems more upscale, like some place you would go to with a date or for business. They also make really good drinks; I had their Night of the Blood Moon October cocktail (Japanese whiskey, blood orange liqueur, creme de mure, cranberry juice) and the whiskey blended in nicely with the cocktail rather than overpowering the drink. read more

Great ambience, located a five minute walk from Kendall T station. We went at 7ish and it was starting to get packed, but the service was great--they had a lot of cocktail and alcohol options that seemed delicious, we just didn't happen to try any. Highlight of dinner was definitely the spicy salmon maki. Salmon was incredibly fatty and delicious, definitely high quality. We also ordered the Tempura maki, popcorn shrimp and Agedashi Tofu. While the agedashi tofu and tempura maki were alright, the popcorn shrimp is definitely a must try. The coating is flaky and light, and the shrimp tasted fresh and bouncy. Definitely recommend if you're in the area! read more

I live right down the street from Fuji at Kendall so between the location and the fact that they offer online ordering, it's turned into one of my regular spots. This place is pretty good and the quality of the food is pretty consistent, the only reason for the 3 stars is that the prices are VERY high for what it is. There's not a ton of creativity to their menu and the quality is not quite as good as other sushi spots in Central and Harvard with lower price points. They do offer a discounted "appy hour" and lunch deals that are worth coming at a weird time in order to save a little cash. I also love their spicy salmon and spicy tuna rolls, because they're at a lower price point and it tastes like they mix the spicy mayo right in with the fish which is a bit more unique. As far as the specialty rolls go, I haven't tried many because I can't justify the cost other than for a special occasion or maybe date night. Overall, good sushi, but nothing to write home about. read more

It's hard to go across the Boston area without coming across a Fuji establishment. Over the years, the Fuji Group has established themselves within different neighborhoods (Assembly, Ink Block, WOC, Kendall) via the Fuji name, similar to Stephanie's, as well as restaurants Shabu & Mein and Yocha. I've dined at most of them with the exception of the Assembly location. I recently came to the Kendall location with two coworkers for lunch and made the reservation via Yelp. I had to change the time from 12 to 11:30 and the hostess was gracious enough to change it even though that time slot was not available online. The restaurant also quickly filled up as we continued our lunch, so a reservation is definitely recommended! As for food, my two coworkers ordered the bento box (chicken and steak teriyaki) and I ordered Sushi Deluxe (10 piece nigiri and 6 piece tuna roll). We also ordered the Popcorn shrimp and Fish and Chips Salad. Bento - These came with a variety of sides and the main protein grilled and slathered with sauce over a bed of rice. Both my coworkers felt that the proteins were lacking and they only ate around a quarter of it while finishing the sides. Would not recommend. Sushi Deluxe - This came with five variety of nigiris (2 piece each). Compared to other sushi restaurants, their rice was on the smaller side. Taken as a whole, it was pretty standard and did not shine either. It also did not come with sides such as soup or salad. Popcorn Shrimp - This was probably our favorite! Shrimps are cut into smaller bite size pieces, battered and fried and dusted with a chili powder, served with a citrus soy. Fish and Chips - The appetizer was a mix of various diced fishes and avocado, tossed in what looks like srirachia mayo and with 4 small chips. I would have liked more seasoning on the fish and more chips. It also came towards the end after we had finished our main courses. We had thought that they forgot the appetizer. Overall, we weren't too impressed with the food. However, I would have to applaud the staff being so accommodating in changing our reservation and they were quite attentive during our time there. read more

Delicious sushi!! I've come here several times for all sorts of occasions: team lunches, romantic dinners, brunches, etc and I've never been disappointed. All the sushi rolls are amazing, especially the Maki Me Hungry roll (mango and tuna!).
