So yesterday my brother and I finally tried the dinner menu at Fuji Sushi Buffet for the very first time. We'd always only gone for their lunch menu before, but we were really craving sushi and sashimi last night, so we thought Fuji would be the best place to go since we were starving!! We noticed that the dinner menu wasn't that much different from the lunch. Seems like only a handful of items are added, so we still made sure to try some of those dinner-only items. One was the Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab, and it was absolutely delicious! The whole thing was edible, so there was no need to de-shell the crab, and the tempura batter was nice and crispy. The crab also didn't taste fishy at all. I also liked that they served it with a tempura dipping sauce on the side because it helped refresh the dish and cut back on the greasiness a little bit. Another thing I was really super curious to try was the Smoked Salmon. I did order it, but I think the guy working at the sashimi section misheard me and ended up giving me regular salmon instead - boo! I wanted to go back and order more later, but by that point I was already really full, so I decided not to be greedy. Other than that, everything else was pretty much the same as the lunch offerings. In general, my brother and I really like this place. It's definitely our go-to spot when it comes to all you can eat sushi and sashimi. My brother and I love getting a huge plate of sashimi with a variety of fish like Salmon, Yellowtail, Mackerel, and even Unagi too. I also love how quick the service was, and they impose no limitation on how many times we can order or how many items we can get each round. We just feel really comfortable eating here. We'll definitely come back again in the near future! read more

Honestly this is best ayce sushi I've been too and find myself coming back often! I love sushi and have been to a number of other ayce sushi places and tbh, none of them compare to Fuji when it comes to both price, quality, and consistency. For the price, it's very affordable as you pay a flat price and can order everything off the menu. There's no extra charge for sashimi either which I found that all other ayce sushi places do and even with the extra charge for sashimi at other places, their sashimi is often small and the quality is low or just poorly prepared. At Fuji, the sashimi is always consistent and they provide great cuts and variety of sashimi like salmon, eel, tuna, mackerel, and more. I love that it's already included as part of the price and there's no hidden or extra fees. The rolls taste great as well! You can easily grab the rolls from the shelf where they put the freshly made rolls or if you don't see the rolls you want, you can ask the sushi chefs to make them. Personally, I find it more worth it to ask the sushi chefs for sashimi, hand rolls, and the aburi (seared) salmon which is my personal favorite here lol. For the appetizers, you need to order with the waiters but luckily they're very quick and attentive! The fried oyster is really good. The space itself is pretty large and you'll either be seated at a table or at the bar but if you're able to choose, definitely go with the bar! The bar includes the rotating conveyor belt which often has salmon nigiri and other small dishes which makes it more convenient to sit there. This review has been long overdue tbh but I've been here enough times and the quality, consistency, variety, and price is what makes me keep coming back! read more

Yeah, just go, lol! Fuji Sushi Buffet is one of those places where the best strategy is simple: don't fill up too fast on the conveyor belt rolls. The ready to go rolls are totally fine, but the real move is saving room for the sashimi :P Head straight for the sashimi line. The salmon and tuna can be a little lacking, but the saba mackerel is yummmmmm. That's the one I keep going back for. Their specialty rolls that you order fresh in line are also the way to do it. Those usually hit way harder than the grab and go stuff. Basically, pace yourself, be strategic, and go in with a sashimi game plan. That's when this place really delivers. It just "hits the spot" when you want a LOOOOOTTTTTTT of sashimi!! Kanpai!!!! read more

Eh for AYCE you can't really expect much. However, the ordering process isn't efficient either. I thought there would at least be some food on the conveyor belt, not to mention the long line to queue at the sushi bar! The fish quality is average, with a somewhat tougher texture. (Octopus was so tough) Also, it seemed like a lot of it was premade and sitting there. Definitely not at the top of my list to return to if I'm ever craving AYCE lol. read more

This is one of our go to places- both as a family and when we have company. You can make your reservation thru Yelp. They are so welcoming when we come in, always welcoming us back. We do go 3-4 times a month. You order apps and drinks off the menu from your server. They have the belt you can grab freshly made sushi from, as well as some up in the window where you order custom rolls. Everything is so fresh and yummy. The quality is always consistent. The restaurant and restrooms are always clean Plenty of parking read more

Fuji Sushi Buffet, Concord I had been here so many times, never had a problem. The staff are awesome! You can also do reservations on Yelp 10 or 15 minutes before they open. The staffs always come by to clean out plates when you're done. The waitress and waiter often come by and ask if we want to order things from the kitchen. The sushi chefs are very fast, quick and great with our orders. If you sit at the bar, the chefs happily drop your orders to you! I often try to come early for better seatings. The current price for lunch is $24.99 weekdays. I highly recommend for anyone who loves sushi and sashimi! They have hamachi Kama as well! Would come back again if I'm in the area or for special occasions! read more

Not my first time at Fuji's, which says enough! For the price, it's hard to complain. The fish, service and wait times are pretty consistent. I always have a good time eating here with friends and family. There's a good amount of bar and table seating to accommodate big groups. I always get the sashimi and nigiri plates. The tuna isn't my favorite, but the salmon is generally pretty good! I love that it's unlimited refills for drinks. Overall, a pretty good AYCE spot and will be returning in the near future. read more

Went here for my friends birthday! We drove from SF to get this great sushi buffet deal! There is a conveyor belt circulating with various dishes. There is also a shelf with rolls made ready. For specialty items, you will order with the chef! What type of sushi and how many pieces? order drinks and appetizers with the waiters. great quality and bang for your buck! it was a long drive with traffic, but worth the drive. Great place to have a special meal or a sushi craving. i loved the salmon aburi and unagi hand rolls, and my friends like their rolls! we had a reservation for 4 people, seated right away. but seems like you can also walk in if they're not busy. read more

I am surprised at how long it took me to visit this place. I remember going to a Fuji in Davis, but I am not sure if it is part of this chain. Anyway, we put ourselves on the waitlist since I wasn't sure how long it would take to get a table. It was a Sunday afternoon and surprisingly not too crowded. We opted to sit at the bar once we say the conveyor belt. On the belt is just the salads (seaweed, octopus, jellyfish, etc). Since it was our first time, we didn't know how it worked, but we asked the server. Order appetizers from the waiter and sushi from the chefs. There are also premade ones to choose from at the chef's station. I like that they have a variety of appetizers that are kid-friendly. There are plenty of seats and space, but it can get crowded once the restaurant fills up. The line to order can get backed up, so one improvement they can make is for customers to be able to order through the waiters. Otherwise, everything was delicious and the service was great! We fully enjoyed the menu items The hamachi wasn't our best, but it'll do for buffet. Our favorites were definitely the Chef's Specials. My favorite was the Aburi Salmon Sushi. Anyway, can't wait to come back and fill my belly to the brim. read more

My mom and I came here for lunch, since we've always wanted to try this location. We've been to the Vacaville location many times and we like it there. With the good reviews here, I trusted it's the same. The way you order is the same. I think the service over at Vacaville seems a little nicer, though. I did like their fish here, as it still tasted pretty fresh! My favorite thing to order was their seared tuna nigiri! However, there were times where my mom would grab a roll from the bar area and the sushi tasted old/has been sitting there for awhile. I'd rather order fresh from the bar than take a roll that's been sitting there for who knows how long. We also ordered the hamachi kama, veggie tempura, cucumber salad, and sesame balls, which were all reordered! I would like to add... we noticed every time we would ask for a plate or cup, it would be very dirty.. it's almost like they didn't wash their dishes thoroughly. The food was still good, but it was just unpleasant seeing dirty dishes brought to us that we wouldn't want to eat or drink from it. read more

I have visited this location many times and never fails to disappoint as one of my favorite AYCE sushi locations in the Bay! The Aburi salmon sushi, salmon sashimi, and Titanic are my absolute go-to orders to repeat whenever I visit. Weekday lunch is the best time to go, and weekends will get very busy and can node long wait times. Nevertheless, the prices are unbeatable here for lunch AYCE. They just added Aburi salmon sushi to the lunch menu and chicken Karaage wings to their full menu so if you haven't tried this place, it's absolutely worth the visit (and drive if you live a bit far). Hot food is also served relatively fast and the servers are always available to take your order and help clear up the table. read more

A pretty nice sushi buffet place. Is it in the top three sushi places I have tried? No. But considering it's a buffet it is good. We tried various sushi from the main course. We also tried tempura, teriyaki chicken as appetizers. The grilled salmon appetizer is horrible. The salmon is very slimy!! I had sashimi and even raw salmon, I never had that slimy! Really bad! But other than that, the sushi are nice. To top it off, the sesame balls are nice dessert. They are filled with bean paste. The service is very prompt and very friendly. Nice ambience, we see a lot of Asian people eating, that is always a good sign. Don't want to sound racist, but it is a good sign to see Asian people eating at an Asian place! read more

I was skeptic as hell to go to a sushi buffet, but the work bestie talked me into it. Much to my surprise, the food was good, fresh and made to order, and the all you could eat price kind of was like jamming on the one. Service was good, I just wish our hostess would've told us the ordering process since it was our first time, kinda like they should do that. "Is this your first time here, this is what you do sort of thing." The chefs were nice as hell tho! Ambience was good. Everybody was there engaged in good table conversation, enjoying their food. Ambience at my table was hella good because of the work besties. I'm gonna go ahead and give this place 4 yumms up and I'll be back since I know the ordering process and definitely order much more upon my return! read more

We had a reservation for a bigger group for weekend lunch so there was no wait. The way things work can be a bit chaotic. You order apps from your server. There is a conveyor belt with nigiri you can pick from. There is also a shelf with tataki. The seared salmon aburi nigir was probably the best dish there. The tataki was the 2nd best. If you want to order rolls you line up and order from the chefs. Then you have to linger for a bit until they call you. Overall sushi quality was just ok. Decent price. The nigiri had a bit too much rice. The apps were pretty good. Overall would probably just go to an a la carte place for slightly better quality. read more

The best sushi ever! I love how I can go up and grab whatever sushi I want with it being super fresh and made right there, the revolving bar doesn't really have that much good stuff but that's okay, my only complaint would be every time I go here I have no idea who is supposed to bring me drinks I always have to flag somebody down after not having water half my mean thinking somebody is going to come help me. read more

Busy and almost full when we got in (party of 5). Ambience casual, a bit nosy but comfortable. Great food. Soft shell crab for appetizer was a good choice. Sushi's and sashimis were all fresh clean and not fishy at all. Eel unagi was one of my favorite. Baby octopus was surprisingly soft and not rubbery or chewy. Loved their miso soup too. Just right saltiness for me. Seaweed clean ocean taste and not rubbery. Sesame balls was perfect for dessert. Service was good. Worth the trip all the way from socal. read more

If you are looking for a spot for ACYE sushi in the Bay Area, Fuji Sushi Buffet will definitely satisfy your craving. I came here with a friend that recommended this restaurant, and for the most part I was not disappointed. The service was excellent, and the waiters were attentive in refilling water and tea. After we placed orders for the kitchen, we helped ourselves to the sushi and sashimi bar. My friend and I enjoyed the fried soft shell crab and the oysters. I like how they offer sashimi so that. we didn't fill up on rice. However, some of the pieces we were served were slightly frozen, which me unsure how fresh the fish was. However, the Aburi Salmon Sushi was seared in front of you and was the best thing to get. I definitely recommend getting it. Overall, I recommend trying this place at least once if you like raw sushi! read more

I went to Fuji Sushi Buffet with coworkers for the first time while I was in Concord and it was a solid AYCE sushi spot. The quality of the sushi was quite good for AYCE and there was lots of options to choose from ranging from sashimi to nigiri to rolls and even tempura and dessert. The inside of the restaurant is very bright and sushi is served on a revolving center aisle of sorts with the sushi chefs cooking the dishes in the center of the revolving aisle. The staff are attentive and quick as well and help explain how the whole process works. I primarily got salmon sashimi as well as a carpaccio dish and tempura, and out of the three my favorite was the seared salmon nigiri as the salmon was quite thick and fatty. Do not expect to get high end omakase quality but do expect to get some solid sushi for the price and eat to your hearts content. read more

Fuji Sushi Buffet - AYCE sushi - Japanese Near Me - Concord, California

I'm such a big fan of this spot! My boyfriend and I always try to come when it's not too busy because the line can get long while waiting for sushi orders at the bar. It's our go-to place when we're craving solid all-you-can-eat sushi and soft shell crab. Totally worth the price and honestly, more worth it than most AYCE sushi spots in the Bay Area. They've got a great variety, from sashimi and special rolls to fried favorites like oysters, soft shell crab, chicken karaage, and veggie tempura. We had our usual lineup: hand rolls, sashimi platter, veggie tempura, soft shell crab, and fried oysters. They also had some new rolls at the sushi bar (seared salmon nigiri and baked salmon roll), and they were actually pretty good! This place never disappoints - definitely one of my top go-to's for AYCE sushi. Solid quality, fair price, and always hits the spot! read more

Fuji Sushi in Concord is one of those spots that makes me wish I lived closer. It's about an hour to an hour and a half drive for me depending on traffic, but honestly, I don't even mind making the trip. For the price, the AYCE is really solid. great variety, good quality, and definitely worth it if you're trying to get your money's worth. The only downside is how busy it gets. There's almost always a crowd, so if you don't have a reservation, expect to wait for a table. But even with that, it's still a spot I'd keep coming back to. read more

Great selections of dishes, from sushi rolls, hand rolls, to sashimi special orders, and all the other cooked items. Not bad at all for the price, but i found nothing outside of ordinary. The front desk people were welcoming and professionally answered our questions and attended to our needs. I wish I could say the same for the people making the hand rolls behind the counter. There was something in the tone of voice and body language that suggested a negative vibe. I'm sure this could be fixed by addressing the issue to upper management. I want you guys to thrive and improve so your business can succeed. read more

Came here mostly for Ebi Sashimi and was expecting this sweet tasting raw shrimp, but I was given a butterfly-cut COOKED shrimp. Their rice to fish ratio for nigiri has so much rice.

Came here around 1pm on a Wednesday, wasn't busy at all, close to closing but they were so accommodating and sweet, once you walk in, there is a tablet for a yelp waitlist but since it wasn't busy, we just got seated. They first take your drinks, and kitchen orders, after that you can place an order at sushi bar, for anything specific you want on the menu. For the most part anything else on the shelf is up for grabs. The sushi and food itself were good. Fresh fish and decent amount of portion to not be super full and try most, great size which I enjoy mainly because eating a full roll at AYCE/buffet places make me so full and bloated. The place itself is great, lots of parking outside, has nice decor and I would come back! read more

Fuji is one of my favorite restaurants to go to, whether it's for a dinner date or a birthday -- It's not a fancy place to get dressed up for but if you're looking for good food & service - this is a promising place to hit. My favorites are their salmon sashimi plate, alaska handroll, spicy seared salmon, and the caterpillar roll. As for their apps, I usually grab a miso & the veggie tempura (I personally ask them to only give me the green beans, so good)) PRO TIPS: 1- As it goes for any AYCE restaurant, I'd recommend saving your appetite for this as you may want to eat more than you can. 2 - If you have a small group (less than 4), try to get the bar so you can have the revolving sushi bar in front of you which is fun for friends / family that haven't been before. 3 - Ask the sushi chefs for half the portion of sushi rolls, especially if you want to try more things & are starting to fill up. I have this restaurant down at 4 starts as I think there's room for improvement within the service department: It would be for the waiters to check-in a bit more frequently as I feel like they typically only check-in on you when you're first seated to get you drinks & apps but they rarely come back around unless they're dropping off your check at your table (this is coming from someone that goes probably once a month). Overall, I always recommend this to friends that like raw fish & sushi. read more

We are huge fans of the Vacaville Fuji Sushi Buffet location. After hearing about the Concord location opening a few years ago, we were very happy to hear that location is closer to us. It was our second time visiting the Concord location. We arrived for a Friday lunch at Fuji Sushi Buffet. The restaurant is located in a nice plaza next to the Concord DMV. Parking is easy and plentiful in the large parking lot. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The price point and value for the lunch buffet is fantastic. A solid plethora of appetizers that are ordered through the server is superb. While the sushi options that are ordered through the sushi chefs are just as excellent as well. Both the quality of the sushi and appetizers are fresh and delicious. I especially enjoyed the unagi sushi nigiri, lion king sushi, grilled salmon teriyaki and the grilled hamachi Kama. Serving the miso soup in a mug is a nice touch. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Fuji Sushi Buffet. I was full and satisfied when we were done. We will always be returning customers. read more

Nice little AYCE (in 90 minutes) sushi bar across from the Veranda in Concord. Make sure you make reservations because the place does fill up quick, and it is rather small inside. We arrived when the place first opened, so we only had to wait a few minutes while the staff got everything finalized. There were a few prepared items on the conveyor, such as salmon nigiri pieces and a few different rolls. People were grabbing them until they that you just go up to the chefs and tell them exactly what you want. I think the best deal is definitely their sashimi platter. You could order it S/M/L, with either all the same fish, or you could do a combo. Either way, considering that would be about a $30 plate at most sushi bars, $30 was the per-person price for the whole experience, minus drinks which were separate. Our bill came to about $75 for 2 people. It may or may not sound pricey to some. But to me, considering the quality and quantity of their selections, I'd say it was a pretty good deal. We'll definitely be back. read more

First time at this location. The good: - aburi salmon sushi - this was delicious! A light sear to the salmon along with a balance of rice and sauce. - hamachi kama and sake kama - these were both the best if you don't mind needing to do some work compared to the sashimi or sushi. I add a few orders of these and was very satisfied with my meal. - hamachi and binnaga (albacore) sashimi were tasty [in comparison to tuna and salmon] - the sesame balls and fried banana were surprising delicious. Sesame ball outer layer was soft, while the fried banana made with bananas that was just the right ripeness. The not so good: - overall the quality of the tuna and salmon were so so. They were lean and so wasn't was tender and flavorful as tuna and salmon with good alternating layers of fish fat. The tuna sashimi that I ate also had some frozen taste to it. - the lion king roll was off and so we didn't eat any beyond one plate of that. - soft shell crab could have been better with a less thick batter layer to it. Would we return? Yes! read more

A lot on weekends, great for lunch and weekdays. They can't keep up with the line of people.

Definitely a good deal for AYCE sushi! DRINKS NOT INCLUDED. Their sushi rolls were good compared to a lot of other sushi spots and buffets. Their rice isn't dry or soggy, just perfect! Flavor isn't bad either! We ordered salmon, hamachi, tuna, albacore, and tako. Our favorite was the salmon and hamachi! There are some sushi rolls ready at the counter and side dishes on the conveyor belt for people to grab. Although there is a line to order sashimi, the line went by pretty quick. Once you ordered, you can just stand there and wait and they will serve you pretty quick. We also ordered hot Sake but I don't recommend because it's water down for my opinion. *remember to make reservations ahead of time because the line can get pack especially during the weekends/holidays! Or just in their waitlist early! Overall, we will go back again soon! read more

I've been here a few times now and it's pretty good for AYCE sushi. They have pre-made rolls that you can grab from the ordering station, as well as a conveyor belt.
