Ordered online, went in after 30 minutes, server said it would be ready in a few, then a few turned into over ten minutes then I asked again and he said "oh a few more minutes" then ten more minutes. I don't care who you are, 2 rolls should not take over 50 damn minutes to make. I will never order here again and I will tell people to stop going here. Thanks! read more

Always a wonderful experience! I've gotten chicken fried rice about 50 times at least and the sushi is phenomenal!

Went with a friend to celebrate my birthday. Cute set up. The service was good. The food was good. Nothing to complain about but nothing really wowed me either. MJ got sushi and ordered chicken for her son. I had the Udon. All good. They do have a lot for parking. read more

What a gem! In a pinch after dropping my daughter in Michigan and this was perfect. Very fresh sushi- excellent soup and salad. Will b back!

Looking for affordable, high quality sushi- Fuji is a longtime favorite. Atmosphere inside is nice, often very quiet. Very quick service and a great option for takeout. read more

My daughters and I enjoy the sushi there! We visit also once a month. I only wish they would get the fried ice cream back. My girls can't want to try it. read more

Went in around 7 pm, didn't receive order till 7:50 pm for just 3 specialty rolls. No waitress checked in with us regarding the extremely long wait or bothered to provide a glass of water. I been coming to this restaurant for a while but it has been downhill lately. Afterwards the food was very upsetting to the stomach. read more

The food was great, each dish had nice portion sizes. The staff members were friendly and our server was very attentive. Overall I will come again if I'm in the area. read more

Everything we ordered was good. We have eaten there a few times and always like the food. My daughter had desert and the bite had was good. Sushi is good and looks pretty. read more

Love, love, love this place. I've lived in California where sushi restaurants are a dime a dozen. Fuji is just as good if not better then I've had in California. Will definitely be going back again and again. read more

Decent food, not super satisfied by sushi, dumplings are a let down, their rolls are good though and the staff are really nice.

The sushi is fresh and consistent. The restaurant is clean and the staff is helpful and friendly.

Always amazing sushi. The service is really friendly and knowledgeable. It's super busy on the weekends so I would recommend going during the week. read more

Fresh, amazing sushi! A little pricey but that is because of the quality of the fish and produce used! Can't ever get enough!!!

Speed of service is horrible. You could be the only customers in the place and in the past we have been and it's still incredibly slow. Just to get a glass of water to the table takes them ten minutes. The food, sushi, is okay but nothing spectacular, I've had better. Probably what keeps some people coming back here is that the next closes sushi restaurant is 20 miles away (but well worth the trip). read more

So 5 Stars just for having mackerel! Sushi bar shows a small selection and I suspected no mackerel. Got it coming though. Also a raw roll and another selection. Is early for dinner crowd which works for me. Great service. The raw roll is very small. Mackerel is most always 2 slices and $4. Plenty and same here. Small portions all around here would suggest I choose a different place if really hungry. And was $27 which I think is high for what I had. read more

This is my sushi save heaven. I am a world traveler and have eaten sushi in 20 plus countries, but Fuji is the place that I would always love to go back to. They have so many options for sushi rolls, the consistency in the taste and the quality of the products used makes this place one of the most respected sushi places I have ever visited. I highly recommend the birthday roll and the spicy girl roll. And for non sushi eaters try any of the Japanese stakes you'll love'm. And I love that the restaurant serves alcohol as this is a huge improvement. What's a good sushi roll without a chilled asahi beer. Keep on the good work Fuji. read more

Here is clean, but food is OK. Soups are very suck, not fresh cooking. read more

Pretty good sushi. Extensive special roll menu. Fair ambiance. Indifferent service. Ok to dine.California RollaChicken Teriyaki

In terms of sushi I would say that Fuji is okay. My first time ordering some rolls they mixed up one of the rolls with one containing eel, which I'm not a fan of. Some of their other rolls that say they have lobster on top has a pureed lobster paste instead. They are the closest sushi spot to me though so I do visit them periodically when the sushi mood strikes me. They do win as best sushi spot in Portage though there is no real competition in the area so it's more a victory by default. Song in New Buffalo, MI wins out for me in terms of sushi though they are a bit further. Besides sushi they do have cooked dishes as well. D loved their ginger pork meal. Service also is pretty good and the one time D and I ate in the restaurant I got to order a couple of new rolls (Tango Roll & Yellow Stone) they were experimenting with, which both were very good. Hopefully those make the main menu. So at least they're willing to try new ideas. read more

Sushi rolls are wayyyyy to small for what they are charging! Huge disappointment! I pay the same amount at house of Kobe but get way better sushi rolls that are actually worth the amount you pay! read more

Makes wonderful sushi for the location and ability to get other options. Though service could be a bit better all around a decent place to go that is fairly priced. read more

We just ordered from grub hub. The flavor of the food was delicious but the texture was awful, lost in transport? I would not order take out from here again but would be willing to try in the restaurant! read more

This place is phenomenal! Better sushi than any of those expensive sushi chains, great variety, economical, and spotlessly clean! You can tell the staff care about their business. Everything is fresh, you can watch your food being made in the back kitchen or the sushi bar. Myself i order to-go and have an Ichiban beer while i wait. I love the Tobiko, and Yellow Fin rolls. Hands down, the classiest place in the region for a real date! read more

Pretty much the only place I know of that you can get sushi in Portage. Pretty decent stuff as well. When I ordered we had Tempura and a California Roll sushi. The Tempura was pretty good, and I really liked the California Roll. The inside of the place is really cozy and atmospheric. Lots of Japanese style furniture and everything looks very authentic. I'd definitely recommend. Edit: Recently visited again. The owners are awesome and very helpful. I picked up a Godzilla this time around and it was like heaven in my mouth. Seriously. Price and quality is comparable (and in some cases better) than Chicago stuff, right here in portage. Excellent. read more

This is my go to sushi place because of how close it is and how consistent the quality is. The only thing I feel is missing is RAMEN. Some authentic ramen would really be the cherry on top for this place. The sushi though is great, my favorite is the crazy roll, and they also have good lunch specials during the week. read more

Oh my gosh! I cannot say enough about this place. Yum!! I've tried several sushi rolls and they were all delicious! Also love the cheese dumplings! read more

What a Gem !!! My wife and I got four different spicy rolls and the Teriyaki Steak and Chicken. Everything was wonderful. The service was great as well. We love this place and you will to !!!! read more

We were frequently going here until our most recent visit disgusted us. There was hardly any rice on the sushi rolls you could see the seaweed right through the rice. Rice is so cheap too I was appalled. When I went to complain about the inadequate rolls & that I have never seen sushi made like this the lady was a smart aleck and said I must be use to buffets! So we left still hungry but paid $ 75.00 for our meal for family of 4. Never again they lost our business! House of Kobe or Chicago sushi joints from now on. Update: There is also a new place in Chesterton, IN called Musashi that's much better! Okaido in Michigan City, Furin and Bangkok in Valpo is great too! read more

Wow, excellent fresh sushi at very reasonable prices. This place lived up to expectations, and is a great value. We had the sushi-sashimi combo, chirashi, and chicken teriyaki bento box. All were excellent, and this place will benchmark Japanese cusine for us in Northwest Indiana. There's not a lot of choices as far as we know (and we have tried House of Kobe in Merillville for the hibachi dining). Parking is very convenient, as it is in a strip mall. I have a thing for close restaurant parking. It's also a BYOB place, and there are no charges for that. The dining room is one cozy room, with not a lot of tables (maybe 12 -15). The menu was extensive with a lot of choices, more than we're used to seeing at a Japanese place. The hostess and waitress were courteous and friendly Chinese, but the food was definitely Japanese. It was a very enjoyable Valentine's Day dinner for us. read more

This place was just what I've bee looking for. GOOD TASTING , FRESH, CLEAN, and well ROLLED SUSHI ; ) It's priced just right for Sushi in NWI. The best part about my dinner, it did not taste like a pre-order Gordon's Food Pick !! This was fresh and VERY TASTY and SATISFYING. Ambiance was nice ( nothing over the top) . Great place for Sushi after work or night out with friends. 3 Thumbs Up read more

I'll keep it brief. Based on some reviews that claimed - by people eating sushi all over the world--that this place is a gem we went. Should have known better. The presentation was not good. The rolls were uneven and in some spots there was no rice and on the other end a glob of rice. The spicy tuna was more like spicy ground tuna. It tasted okay but it definitely was ground pulp flavored up. Very unimpressed. Yes it was cheap but sushi is not something where you want to distrust ingredients. Lastly the udon: overly salted broth. Downright inedible. I did not like this place, only redeeming factor was price but... no Thanks. And the self proclaimed world traveller must be on a tight budget if he thinks this place is among the best. Nuts. Gave it 3 stars because they are still better than the local average and they are priced reasonable. read more

Decent place. Edamame and miso soup came out quick. Soup was good, edamame were hot but not salted well. The jalapeño roll was really good. 12 pieces was a good serving and was reasonably price. The biggest con is the no alcohol. Which in turn means no saki! I probably wouldn't return for that reason alone, although the food and service were acceptable. read more

We love Fuji! We've been eating here since it opened! The restaurant is small, but very clean and well cared for. With COVID we were afraid this place might get hit hard because people aren't eating out as often, but this place offers a great take out menu! We love everything!! read more

Some of the best sushi in Northwest Indiana and comes at a decent price. Lots of options for different rolls and often has specialty rolls. The place always seems to be packed but we have never had a bad experience. read more

This restaurant is a fabulous sushi joint. I would love to eat here every day if I could, but my only complaint is that the food here is very expensive, especially the roles. The waiters and waitresses here are very nice, and pleasant to be around. They serve time is quick, and if you are looking for a place with excellent sushi, and good service, you should definitely try Fuji. read more

I've been coming here for a long time and if your in the valpo area this is the place to come for sushi. There chef here is always quick and makes very good rolls or traditional sashimi if you prefer that. I recommend drying the dream roll with eel sauce, beside sushi they have a large list of other dishes including youdon (spelled that wrong) and fried rice Japanese style which is delicious as well. Over all this is a great place to bring a large group that maybe doesn't want a sushi only restaurant, a place that offers both cooked and raw dishes. read more
