This was the best sushi I've had in my life. Came in a big group and it took awhile to get seated but it's a small place so it's understandable. I tried a little of everything since we had such a large group. Oh man! I would buy a plane ticket and fly back out to Stuart just to eat that sushi again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Excellent sushi, good Asian cuisine. My bride and I stopped in on a busy Friday evening but grabbed a couple of seats at the sushi bar. We wanted to see if all of the high ratings were justified. We weren't disappointed. The sushi was excellent and the soup and salad we're very good! We will be back to sample more of the different sushi rolls. Very reasonable prices for good sushi. read more

Ichimaru My Fav - Tuna salad. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Stuart, Florida

See all

We gave it another try after waiting a few months and we are glad we did. We started with the vegetable tempura which was very fresh. The miso soup was good. Had the Stuart Beach and Fugu Tei rolls, all good. Wait times were better than average for a Saturday evening. Our waiter was very attentive and respectful of our privacy. Soap supply in the washrooms needs to be monitored better. Overall, we were pleased and plan to come again soon. read more

A small local "clean & consistant" restaurant that I vist once or twice a month. Good food, good prices, nice people. Happy that they now offer brown rice as an option. Their miso soup is great, too... I get a container to go all the time. A real local business feel that you love to support. read more

TERRIBLE. If I could give a rating of 0 I would. A friend brought me to dinner at Fugu Tei on Saturday evening. When we walked into the restaurant on Saturday evening the hostess, an older woman wearing glasses, was absolutely rude. It wasn't until I mentioned that I was a restaurant reviewer for a newspaper that her smile appeared. The restaurant literally doles out pickled ginger and wasabi paste in tiny little containers. The wasabi was rolled up in the size of a single pea. Pickled ginger was literally three pieces of pickled ginger. Now let's talk about the food? The food was horrible. Terrible. The rice was crunchy on the sushi. TERRIBLY EXPENSIVE. $4 for a SINGLE piece of tuna sushi?!? When it is $5 for two pieces at Fujiyama? All I will say is this? Because I could say a LOT more? FOR THE VERY BEST SUSHI AND JAPANESE FOOD IN THIS TOWN GO TO FUJIYAMA. REMEMBER THAT! FUJIYAMA STEAKHOUSE WHICH ALWAYS GETS 5 YELP STARS! FUJIYAMA IS AWESOME! read more

All delish! I usually get the sushi deluxe and substitute the Cali roll for a fresh scallop roll for a $3 upcharge. I hate the Cali roll so it's worth the fee to switch it out for something good. They serve a spicytuna roll with "sauce" that's not the same as a spicy tuna roll that is mixed with spicy mayo so be sure to ask for that because it's a big difference. Also the seaweed salad is good and the onion soup is a MUST try! I'll never have miso soup again. The restaurant is not much to look at since I'm used to a more trendy sushi restaurant coming from NY. But the sushi is good luckily for me since I moved around the corner a few months ago and it's now my local go to sushi spot All delish!

So what should you expect from a Sushi place on the Hobe sound Stuart line on the Treasure coast? Only the best service and Sushi I have ever had! Great specialty rolls, fantastic standard rolls and Sashimi. Cant say enough good things about this little restaurant. Try it, you wont be disappointed! read more

First time customer - stopped in and had the sushi lunch box special -very fresh, good value, friendly service and nice decor! Will definitely be back. read more

Very good sushi and cooked food. Simple fare, nothing fancy. Prices are very reasonable. Services is ok, but you often have to get their attention off their phones even though you are 5-6 feet away. Best sushi chef? Pinkie! read more

Surprisingly good. Authentic. Location is lacking but inside is more high end than expected. Not cheap but it is quality food. read more

My husband and I recently returned to Fugu Tei. We hadn't been there in a couple of years. Food and service was good. BUT, the ladies room was filthy ! Someone needs to get in there and scrub it down. I assume the men's room is just as bad. Makes you wonder what the kitchen is like. We may try to go back one more time but I will check the ladies room before we order any food. read more

So, it's been 5 months since our last meal at Fugu with the new owners/chefs. We were disappointed with our last meal there and promised out of loyalty that we would give them another chance, as maybe they're still learning from the previous owner/chef. Well, I hate to say it, but the quality of the food is terrible compared to what it used to be. What once used to be the freshest rice and fish in sushi history and best Japanese restaurant ever is sadly gone. It's evident that the new owners are cutting corners with the quality of the ingredients, and with sushi afterall, having the best ingredients is everything. After 12 yrs of patronage, we will never go back and it's a shame bc Fugu truly WAS the best hands down. Sadly, time to find our new go-to sushi restaurant. -- feeling disappointed. read more

Well we gave it another try for take out and where done, This once loved Sushi Place is now not worth visiting. -Our California roll was all apart - how do you screw that up. - Miso soup was like water/one filled and one half filled container - zero taste- - Our specialty rolls got smaller then the last visit and just fair - sweet potato app had 4 small pieces - who got the other half? - Have you own soy cause they give you a drop - Dont ask and pay for spicy mayo on the side cause you never get it. Counter person Not friendly Next time I will just get Saki read more

For Stuart Florida for the treasure coast this is by far the best sushi in the area always great quality great selection timely service clean it's a good spot and well worth it I will always come back here and I always love this sushi restaurant I really wish more people would give them great reviews because as far as SuShi goes in Stuart Florida it's awesome. It's on assuming it's basic it's not overly pretentious just really good quality fish and really good staff read more

Enjoyed Everything! Sushi was delicious , spicy tuna roll. Shrimp was cooked just right. Miso soup could of had more in it, but it had good flavor. Banana dessert, took it home and it was really tasty. Will go back. read more

It's a hole in the wall in a strip mall but it is solid. We drive twenty miles to get there because we find that it's the most reasonably priced sushi restaurant around. It's easy to get gouged at sushi bars. The owner Tim, is an avid fisherman and really knows his fish. Like so many sushi chefs, we couldnt even get a nod from the guy for years. He actually smiles and waves at us now. Very fresh and some creative rolls. I recommend the Tim Special Roll, the Stuart Beach Roll, and the Spicy Crunchy Shrimp Roll. I've never even bothered with anything non-sushi on the menu aside from seaweed salad and Miso soup. The decor and the furniture is typical "open a restaurant with no money" style. The help is friendly, plain, adequate. Aside from having to wait in an incredibly small front area for a table, I've never had any bad experiences there and we have gone dozens of times. The sushi is just good. You can spend twice as much at a hip sushi place or go there. And make no mistake, Fugu Tei is nothing like the buffets or all you can eat places, it's hand made fresh with excellent fish. I don't want anyone to confuse my comments with el cheapo sushi. If this quality was south in PBG it would be packed every night. But since it's in ghost town Martin county you can usually not wait for a table. read more

I've been to Japan, eat a lot of sushi, and I think this is the best in Stuart. The fish is fresh. The prices are reasonable. They have a diverse menu of creative rolls. It's a small place so if it's Friday or Saturday there may be a small wait, but overall, I highly recommend it. Go, enjoy, and support a local business. read more

A South Stuart go to for years. Other sushi places have come & gone, but Tim's place can't be beaten for the size of the portions and price. ALWAYS FRESH FISH. Have eaten here monthly for more than 8 years, sometimes a wait in season, but never more than :20. Try the Sushi Regular. Quite the deal! read more

Recently tried this place because it's close to home. We had a good experience, we will definitely return. Sushi was very good

By far the BEST Sushi I've had so far. The Chicken Katsu reminds me of home... Wish I listened to my Big Brother and came sooner. Highly recommended... read more

I had trouble deciding on a new sushi roll to try and the waitress was VERY helpful. Best sushi I've ever had in my life! Service was great and the atmosphere was cute. My only regret was not going back again before I left the area! read more

We have not been to Fugu Tei since Tim sold to Pinky. For good reason -food quality went down the tubes. But last evening we decided to go back since we heard there were new owners. The sushi quality has definitely improved - very fresh and yummy. Not quite Tim's yet but certainly on the way. If you were a loyal patron then, you might want to give Fugu Tei another try. They are also open to suggestions to make things better - I don't think you will be disappointed. read more

This place is well known in the area for their japanese food and it can be very busy on certain nights, so expect a little bit of waiting but it is certainly worth the wait. Service was nice and the waitress and chefs are friendly people. Lovely decor with fishes mounted on the walls and other tasteful japanese decorations. Very clean restaurant. Great sushi, fresh and well made. You can tell that the chef is skilled. What's the treasure in this restaurant is the amazing dishes made in the kitchen. Everything has amazing wok chi and comes out fresh and hot. Try the appetizers, they are all amazing. Trust me. Some are quite unique, like liver, but if you like the taste of liver, this is certainly the place to get it. The fried rice is delicious and comes out piping hot. Very generous portions. Don't forget to try the dessert. Their green bean and red bean ice cream flavors are genuine and are full of flavor. The tempura ice cream and cheesecake are delicious and freshly fried. I will definitely be coming back again. 10/10 read more

Fantastic. I've been here a few times and the food is always good. Service is friendly. Walked in yesterday to order take-out and my order was ready in under 10 minutes. I think it may become a regular spot. read more

Sushi was good, service mediocre but the place is a 'dump'. The decor more than tired, beaded/louvered door to ? barely hanging on to frame, window sills sticky & dirty. I won't even go into describing the restrooms. NOT going back! read more

The best sushi around period!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Always fresh always good!!!! Service is wonderful!!! Real family atmosphere!!! Always start with onion soup delicious!!! Then either calamari tempura, beef nagamaki, or soft shell crab. Then sunomo or squid salad. Tim's special roll & stuart beach roll are just two of my favorites!!! The fresh scallop roll is yummy too!!! Best salmon & tuna sashimi!!!! And you will not beat the prices. Do yourself a favor and go!!!! read more

Favorite sushi place EVER. the beef and tuna tataki are Aaaa-mazing, I crave it sometimes!!! Fresh, delicious sashimi and a wide variety of sushi roll choices. Yummy sweet green tea as well.

Best sushi in South Florida! Awesome staff - always extremely accommodating!

Love love love!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Our favorite in Stuart. Consistently good food. Fresh sushi and the sushi chefs wife prepares all the cooked food and she does a great job. Try her fried rice here and you will forget about it at all those other places. Small place and open Tuesday - Saturday for dinner only. read more

threre sushi is awesome the best rolls in town ive taken out and ate there nice and friendly people waitres checks on you and fast will be back again and again read more

Read the local rave reviews. Ordered octo salad, jaws roll and my benchmark tuna avocado cucumber. lets jus call them Rice rolls. Like a gross amount. Enough rice left over on my plate to make 3 more rolls, zero exaggeration. I sat at the bar and watched every roll made like this. The Fish just doesent taste like anything. I pulled some tuna and albacore tuna out of my rolls to sample and it just tase like nothing. Texture was just ok. Glad i didnt order pricy sashimi like usual. Honestly most mediocre sushi ive ever had. Everyone claims to have the best tastebuds, im no pro but ive eaten at well over 50 sushi resturants and i just don't see how on a different day this place could be good. Great service and the octo salad was awesome. read more

I like this place. Been going here for years, and it's always good. The lobster roll is a must. A little older inside, but it's campy and cute. read more

We moved to Hobe Sound in May 2015 and we're chomping at the bit for Sushi. Found this little gem. The best in town seriously. Price is right too. read more

My husband and I had high expectations for this restaurant after reading the reviews. We even pushed back going to celebrate Father's Day until it was open (although there are numerous other places around us to eat). The drive is more than half an hour away but not a big deal since its on my husband's work commute. It wasn't crowded at all when we arrived and the wait wasn't long by any means. The waitress was very friendly and we saw a lot of her, which is a plus. I ordered miso soup (my go to) but it was a bit too salty. I have hits and misses with that soup anyway so not a big deal. I then ordered the JB roll (raw salmon, cream cheese, scallions) and my husband ordered the straight forward salmon roll, tuna roll, and escolar nigiri (which turned out to be a nice surprise because they gave him toro instead, which is fatty tuna. Delicious and very hard to come by since its rarely in season). The JB was...tasteless as far as the rice was concerned. The scallion had a very overpowering onion flavor so that was the dominating taste in my mouth and it wasn't too pleasant. My husband's rolls, although much more simpler, were tasteless as well. Basically nothing was seasoned to draw out the natural flavors of the fish. They did a great job cooking the rice, rolling it, and the fish was fresh, but the umami wasn't there. I think our 1 year old was the only one to enjoy his food- tempura fried shrimp and French fries. There are closer sushi places that we enjoy and I think we'll stick with them in the future. read more

I've been eating a Fugu Tei for years. I've tried all the other sushi restaurants in the area. There is no doubt that many of them are good. But for the price and quality that you receive here - there is no match. They take great care to make sure you receive a great meal. read more

First, I must say we will return to this restaurant, despite all the mix ups that I will describe. All the people who worked here were very nice, and helpful, and were trying their best. But due to the inexperience of most of the front of house staff, lack of a manager, no sight of the owner, the place was very chaotic. The friend that took me to this restaurant had been 3 times before and always had a good experience. When we walked in, the place was packed, and we got the last open table. All staff were running around wildly trying to keep up. No one took our order, so we finally called over one of the running wild persons who did take our order. This is 1/2 hour after arriving, with just water sitting in front of us. My age tofu arrived first, and was very good. After some time, my kappa roll arrived. All this time my friends miso soup and salad never arrived. So we asked for it, and it was brought to the table. Turns out, the soup, after taking a sip, was not miso soup, but onion soup, (which was not ordered nor does it come with the meal). The soup was not hot, nor was the green tea that was brought to the table. After about 45 minutes or more, we inquired about my friends dish, and were told that it would be out shortly, and that the kitchen had made the order with white rice instead of brown rice. All the while the restaurant was chaotic as there seemed to be no system in place. We paid the bill and left. No one said Good Bye, or Thank you as we left. We will return to this restaurant as the food was good, and the people very friendly and nice.
