Delicious delicious! Some of the best fish I've had in California. I travel for work out to el centro every month and always stop here for dinner. I get the same thing every time: edamame, salmon sashimi, and the blue fin tuna roll. Will not disappoint! read more

High end San Diego prices with Imperial Valley quality... Haven't been to this spot for a very long time and boy have they went downhill since they opened. Service: our server was friendly and as attentive as he could be considering he was the only one for the whole place. However we had a forgot beer, miso soup, and roll that we had to ask for a second time. The sushi: ordered the #3 sashimi combo, (2 tuna, 2 yellowtail, 2 salmon) it was all barely okay. The yellowtail was inedible and fishy. They took those two little pieces off the bill. Ordered some shishito peppers, soft shell crab, and a few hand rolls. It was all just basic, nothing to write home about. THEN, the one that really gets me, CRUNCHY SALMON ROLL. This roll is almost $30, 27 something, for spicy salmon and a huge gob of cream cheese inside and some measly salmon pieces and a TINY sprinkle of tempura crunchy on top. This one is so wildly over priced, I can't even believe it. All in all this place is mid at best and WILDLY overpriced for the quality. Save yourself some money and go somewhere else. Like anywhere else. read more

Fujisan Sushi - Crunchy salmon roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - El Centro, California

I'm very confused how this spot has such a high rating. I started with their special appetizer, which tasted EXTREMELY fishy (good sushi shouldn't), it was deep fried and pretty sure the bones weren't removed. The dipping sauce did salvage it. Moving on to the sushi. None of it was fresh, the rice was extremely chewy, and the flavors were lacking. Not to mention the cost was not worth it. The ONLY reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because of my service. She was attentive, helpful, and kind. Nothing too exceptional about the layout, but all in all I would not be going back. read more

Came to this spot while visiting and it was so good! I ordered to go and my food was ready during the time frame they told me. I ordered the teriyaki chicken dinner, beef dinner ( shredded sweet beef with onion) and the rainbow roll (8pcs). The dinners both came with rice, salad and miso soup. No complaints at all! Very filling and delicious in taste. The rainbow roll was very refreshing and the fish selection was good on it! The inside is a small intimate place with a nice bar filled with Japanese liquor and beer. read more

OK food but not the best. Super nice staff, but terrible service. Allegedly something was wrong in the kitchen. Nothing came out at the same time. read more

Fujisan is the shining star of Japanese cuisine in the Imperial Valley, really the best sushi El Centro had to offer. This unassuming abode from the outside may not attract the eye, but the inside is quite updated to a modern, intimate, and clean dining space. From the friendly staff you are greet with first thing when you step inside this humble abode, to their extensive menu of tempura meal combos, udon, and sushi. The owner, Wesley, and his staff are extremely hard at work to give you a relaxed dining experience. I personally like trying their salmon maki rolls and bluefin tuna belly nigiri. However, the cuts of fish and fat content may not be the same with each visit. Still worthy of checking out. read more

I was just turned away for dinner service. When your hours of operations show you are opened until 9 pm, you should honor those or update them. The hostess was quick to say they can't seat me because last call is at 8;30-8:45. Ummm it was 8:15. No thanks, I guess they have the luxury of turning away customers. read more

10/10! Came here for my cousins birthday and completely blew us away with the delicious food, amazing service and the beautiful interior. Felt like I was back in Japan. The sushi was so fresh and I loved how our chef took his time to educate and explain where each fish was imported from and how it was prepared for us. You can tell this restaurant operates with true passion. Arigato Fuji-san! Can't wait to come back. read more

Amazing! A seriously hidden gem in the most random of places, but sooooooo worth it! The place is small and quaint. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. We were with a large group and nothing was forgotten. Although the wait was long, it was worth it. All the fish is very fresh and they have cuts that aren't always offered places. It's easy to see the love in the food and the passion. I look forward to coming back and trying more! read more

I ordered chirashi and edamame on DoorDash. This was probably the skimpiest chirashi I've ever had, and not cheap.

Great place for a fun work lunch with colleagues or a dinner date. Usually we get sushi rolls and they've all been great. The sticky rice was perfect in the rolls. Last time I ordered the Tempura Udon. The udon noodles were great and tasty! The owner is often the waiter and is very personable and quick to explain the complexities of each dish for any foodie who wants details. BTW - this is right off the freeway if you're driving through El Centro on I-8. read more

Moved to El Centro from San Diego and have been so disappointed with every sushi spot we have tried until we found this little hidden gem. My husband and I have been here multiple times now, and every time the service has been great, & the food is delicious! The sushi is so fresh and is by far the best sushi we have found in the valley. It is definitely worth the higher price for better quality. Also this is the only restaurant we have found that the water does not taste like dirt either, so all around 5 stars for us lol :) read more

Fantastic Japanese food, we tried several sushi rolls and nigiri and they hit the spot. Yes, they are in the desert, but don't let that fool you and think you can't have a great sushi experience. The service was friendly and very good, we tried many of the owner's recommendations and they were all delicious. The ambiance and very chill, serene. I highly recommend checking the place out. read more

I'm from long beach visiting here for work. I thought there was no way this city would have quality sushi, I was wrong. I actually came here two days in a row. The first day they had run out of my favorite cut of fish, as I showed up later in the day. The server let me know that the more rare cuts are limited as most people don't get them. When I came in the next day, they had actually prepared more of that fish just for me. I ordered yellowtail belly, red snapper, Hokkaido Scallops, Salmon, and Blue fin Tuna. All cuts were exceptional and they didn't skimp either. Reccomend this place to anyone visiting the area. read more

When I say this is the best sushi I have ever had, that is an understatement. I have had the opportunity of trying top rated sushi restaurants like Nobu while I was living in Las Vegas and LA. I have tried over 50 sushi restaurants trying to find the best one and I am happy to say I have found it. Fujisan is the best sushi restaurants, not just in the Imperial Valley but that I have ever had. The fish is fresh, the ratio of rice to fish is on point, and the chef is so considerate. The service was quick! The restaurant feels like a true Japanese style restaurant. The ambiance is amazing. read more

Amazing service! Went for the first time after being recommended and I'm upset I didn't go sooner! The ambiance is great, they have a large menu and I will only come here for Sushi in the Imperial Valley. Also can't forget, they have Sapporo and Orian on tap!!! I live in Brawley and have no real business in Ec around that area, however I will go out of my way to eat here! read more

The only place I will eat sushi in the Valley. Authentic Japanese food, not all the cream cheese filled, fried and cooked fake stuff you find everywhere else around here. The owner goes above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your dinner. They just added a great Japanese whiskey bar with great options. It's where we take our out of town guests when they visit and our go-to spot for a night out. read more

Been here twice and I can confidently say that this is the best sushi spot in the valley and the only place to get fresh and authentic sushi. The prices are better than San Diego for the quality that you're getting. Staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. Fish is fresh and high quality. Excited to see more from this place! Would recommend to try anything the staff recommends! Have only tried the sushi and will be trying their noodles and other protein dishes soon. read more

I am from orange county and was wondering if the sushi was good quality here in the valley. I was pleasantly impressed. The sushi was absolutely delicious. We ordered the gs roll, yellow tail carpaccio, salmon sashimi, dynamite roll, garlic edamame, gyoza, and miso soup. The service was excellent, the food came out in a timely manner. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants here and can't wait to come again! read more

Portion size small, for the price definitely lacking. Service is decent, the ambiance is ok. read more

What a delight to have such a clean, accommodating, restaurant in the Valley. While the sushi and the other items prepared are fresh and delicious the choices are many and unique to our usual Valley tastes. This leaves one wanting to go back as soon as possible to try something else. The service has been excellent and sometimes the remarkable owner helps with explaining choices that might complement the meal in a different way. I like the quietness and softness of the restaurant. I only wish the room was a bit bigger so more folks could enjoy meals either during lunch or dinner. read more

The food! Finally a quality spot in the valley! Amazing fresh food and the kindest most genuine staff. Small space, gets packed. read more

The food is amazing! Very authentic and fresh. I could honestly say it's my new favorite sushi restaurant.

Food was good the staff was wonderful. Have eaten sushi at other locations in the valley and this was by far the best. Not pricey for San Diego prices, but a little high for the valley. Will be returning again. read more

Great service, Great food and the interior is very nice. The food is fresh and imported. Definitely a gem.

Wow! Delicious, fresh and friendly. Honestly the best sushi I have had. From their house mixed soy sauce to any of their nigiri, everything was delicious. Don't come here if you want deep fried, fishy "American" sushi. This is such a joyful experience. I wouldn't think I'd find a place like that visiting El Centro! I might have to drive down here more often. read more

Awesome spot for date night. We made reservations which was good because when we got there it was almost full. The food was amazing, definitely the best sushi in the valley. They have more traditional style sushi aka not as many fried things as other places here. Every thing we had was awesome. Waitress was nice. Food did take a little while coming out but we went when it first opened. Also their hot tea was unique and tasted great. read more
