The line moves fast at this sushi mto assembly line...too fast. I asked several times to skip their teriyaki sauce on my roll but alas...I watched as the employee put the stuff on my lunch! Ugh. So beware if you go off script with one of their menu items. The roll itself is a good size and was a filling lunch (for me). I got the special for restaurant week...shrimp tempura roll. It was delicious. I also grabbed a miso soup on that cold day. This took much too long to procure from the kitchen. I stood at the checkout and waited. Off to the left against the wall is an assortment of soy sauces and plastic ware etc. I would definitely return! read more

This is a great place to satisfy a sushi craving. They offer a variety of sushi rolls and bowls, both the classics and novel concoctions of your choosing. Tastes pretty good too! It's set up Subway-style so that you can watch your order being made and make any changes at just about any point in the process. The employees are attentive and willing to ask about any changes you'd like to make, so there's no need to worry about inconveniencing them if you'd like your order to be a certain way. Once you get your order, there's a clear area where you can add soy sauce and pick up utensils. It's all clearly marked and labeled so that it's easy to navigate your way around the restaurant. The dining area is somewhat small, which could be uncomfortable when it gets busy. It's perfect during quieter hours, though, to meet with friends and chat while eating. I definitely enjoyed that part of it with my friends, and I can see myself coming back soon! read more

Ugh the food was great. The service was amazing. It was my first time eating a poke bowl. I loved it. The ambiance was out of this world. I will be back to eat again before I go back home to Mississippi. I wish we had a place like this back home. read more

The Oakland location has become a routine stop for me, and honestly, I'm just as impressed by the consistent quality of the food as I am by the consistent amicable nature of the staff. I don't want that latter point to be glazed over. This is a highly-populated college area and a demographic that can certainly be trying. I've rarely, if ever, encountered an employee that is anything but helpful. Now onto the food: I typically make my own bowl, and I've never had an issue with the quality of the ingredients nor have I ever been disappointed. The clearly labeled Gluten Free and Vegan options with associated caloric estimates are an especially nice touch for the health-conscious crowd. Also a great place to bring your friends if you want sushi and they do not - chicken, tofu, and cooked items are available and also quite tasty. Bonus points for the excellent presentation and fun branding. Pro tips: *This is the same ownership as Fuku Tea (also worth a visit) just down the street - they have gift cards that can be used at both establishments by the register **If you're planning to place a takeout order through yelp, check their main site first to make sure that the items listed are correct sushifuku.com read more

I would 100% recommend. I got a BYO roll with brown rice, shrimp, and cucumber. It was absolutely delicious and tasted super fresh compared to some other sushi places I have visited in Pittsburgh. Main yay: The shrimp had a great flavor! Main nay: The spicy mayo was definately spicy. I can't handle a lot of spice so I used the mayo in moderation for sure. read more

Awesome Poke!! I'll either dine in while on the Pitt campus, or order in, and every time I order from Atarashi it is amazing. I love that they put the sauce in cups on the side to ensure you have the correct amount according to your taste. I also love that the Poke is very customizable, and comes in cardboard bowls. The portion size is quite large (for me at least) and I can get 2 meals out of it. Hands down one of my favorite sushi places now! read more

I love sushi fuku, basically it is a sushi express. You choose what you want in your sushi, they make it in front of you. What's not to like ? The sushi rolls are good size too, and reasonable price. I come here way too often. They always satisfy my tummy though :) way to go Fuku! read more

Atarashi - My half spicy tuna and half spicy crab, with mango and jalapeño. YUMMMM - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I ordered a poke bowl - and while all the ingredients were fresh and good, they were so skimpy on the portions that it was just an ok experience. the amount of rice was so hilarious - I'm guessing MAYBE two tablespoons. also they limit the amount of toppings you can get, which I've never before heard of at a poke place (four toppings, three garnishes, etc). that plus the ridiculously small amount they give you was just not worth the $21 price tag. normally a poke bowl is a really solid, filling lunch, but this one was rather pathetic. second lunch? lol so I will not be going here again for the price. read more

Decided to try this place on a whim. I went with the dynamite roll and the ying yang roll for lunch. I like spicy crab and spicy mayo usually, but the spicy mayo here is just too spicy. I didn't expect it to be so spicy, and I could only eat 2 slices of the dynamite roll. The ying yang roll had interesting flavor. The best part of this place is it is quiet. read more

This place was great! They make it fresh right in front of you. We went with some rolls off of the menu and appetizers for our first time. They were large and delicious! They give you your choice of sauce to put on top if you want any. They also gave us a ton of ginger which I was happy about. I will be back to try other things off of the menu! read more

Sushi was made exactly the way i wanted it and the delivery was very fast! Will be ordering again!

This is a neat concept: create your own sushi bowl/ roll. In theory I think I would love the ability to make my sushi exactly how I want. They are fairly clean and move fairly fast with lots of options, which is a plus, however I am not a big fan of the quality of food. It just feels.. artificial. I understand we are in Pittsburgh, but there are plenty of alternative sushi restaurants with fresher tasting fish. I would go back, because the food wasn't horrible, but it is more of an 'experience' type restaurant than a place I'll go when craving sushi. read more

I visited for lunch today at around noon with a friend. Since it'd been awhile since I'd last had sushi, and I'd had Sushi Fuku bookmarked for eons, I was excited to try a new lunch spot in Oakland. Based on Larissa G.'s review and the photos, I decided to order the rainbow roll with wasabi mayo as a dressing. All of the options on the serving line looked good, and it was fun to watch the employees assembling the rolls by hand, with interesting tools and machines for assistance. The final product resembled the photos I'd seen quite well, with a beautiful assortment of colors. Flavorwise, I found the rolls on the bland side, but the wasabi mayo and dressings (wasabi sauce, ginger, soy sauce) helped to dress them up--and then again, this is seafood we're talking about. The price ($10.33 w/o tax) seemed on the high side for the amount and quality of sushi received (10 rolls), esp. in comparison to other comparable sushi joints in PGH (e.g., another sushi place downtown is charging the same for twice as much food). Appropriate for a fast casual joint, service was efficient and friendly, and the atmosphere was clean and minimalist. In terms of the ordering setup, decor, etc., I can definitely see the similarity to Chipotle that other reviewers have commented on. As another reviewer mentioned, it was pleasantly uncrowded--a rarity during peak lunch hours in Oakland. If you're looking for a quick carry out lunch in Oakland without fighting the crowd, this is a good alternative to Oishii Bento across the street and the chains on Forbes Ave. 3.5 stars. read more

Atarashi - Rainbow roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Really great deal! I order from here at least once every other week through Uber eats. The portion size is huge, well worth the cost; California roll is my go to but I've also tried the special sushi rolls. You can't go wrong with the Golden Dragon Roll. The rolls are big so be prepared for left overs! Another bonus is deliver is super fast; I've never attempted take out. I would suggest ordering their salads as well. enjoy! read more

If you like eating your sushi in a form of a churro, Sushi Fuku has got you covered. Their build your own sushi concept took me by surprise and is pretty refreshing in terms of sushi options. What's even better was their sushi is pretty reasonably priced. Decor is really neat and fresh. Overall, it's a nice place to get a little snack if you're ever hungry but not a meal if you're a big eater like me. read more

Sushi Fuku adapts the business model of Subway and Chipotle to...well you guessed it, Sushi. I like that the customer is encouraged to build their own roll, rice bowl, or salad. There is also no confusion about what is or is not available. On the other hand, the model extracts the art of being a sushi chef from the process; that is, they have a machine to bed the rice on the seaweed, a machine to cut the roll, and the fish all comes in pre-cut rectangular prisms. (Part of the sushi experience for me is finding a sushi chef who can perfectly cut along the seam of the fish which ensures a smooth taste to the fresh fish). At Fuku, this mechanized process yields a huge roll (as you can pick three vegetable ingredients in addition to a meat or fish) with a disproportionate amount of rice at a reasonable price (my customized roll cost under $9). Which works out as the establishment is clearly target at college students. read more

So I have been here a total of 3 times in 7 days. Sushi Fuku is legit. I wish this business well and hope they can expand their operations into Downtown. read more

Interesting Concept. Build-your-own sushi roll. I like that you can choose what goes into your sushi, but you're paying too much for low quality ingredients. They're also a little skimpy on the fish and meat. The rolls are pretty large but it's mostly rice. Everything is mechanized. They use machines to spread the rice, cut the sushi, etc. That's pretty interesting to see. This place is located in a college town and that's who they're catering to, so I guess you can't expect too much. read more

Fun concept on a fast casual restaurant on a college campus! "Chipotle-esque"'as you watch them make your sushi. The crunchy salmon roll was good, the gyoza needed a dipping sauce, and the kimchi salad was fresh, crunchy, a little spicy, and my favorite part of the meal. Decent amount of seating at dinner time. Stopped in as I was in town for work. read more

Atarashi - Crunchy salmon roll, gyoza, and kimchi salad - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Have been to Sushi Fuku several times. Would give a 3.5/5 stars. A great concept of create your own sushi, sushi bowls, or sushi burrito. I opted for a create your own sushi with salmon, cream cheese, avocado, cucumber, red onion, and a spicy mayo and yum-yum sauce. All the options can be overwhelming and I am always afraid I will pick a bad tasting combination. Their prices are reasonable for sushi about $8 for a salmon roll with tax. The roll was pretty good. I liked the crunch from the red onion and the sauces added a nice flavor. Unfortunately, they put so much sauce on I really couldn't taste the salmon too much. My friend got a teriyaki chicken sushi bowl and was pleased. A convenient place for decent sushi if you are in a hurry. read more

Food looks and tastes good but left me feeling horrible afterwards. I got a spicy tuna burrito and devoured it but my stomach was in bad shape for the next day or so, I'm a little concerned with the quality of the fish here. Maybe this was an anomaly but I'm not sure I'll return after my experience. read more

We finally got to try this out and though I hadn't thought about the fact that a sushi burrito isn't much more than a tightly wrapped hand roll, Sushi Fuku is still special. It's a counter sushi place with amazingly fast service where you get to pick your rice (white or brown), your type of wrap or bowl (burrito, cut roll, bowl), your protein (raw & cooked options and you can get more than one for a small extra fee), your extras inside, and then your toppings (if you get a bowl or cut roll). All the ingredients were super fresh. Service was fast and friendly. The prices are good - especially considering how much more seemed to be in this roll than an average roll. One roll each (with 2 proteins) and we were full. I can't wait to go back and wish there were one in Robinson, so I could go for lunch at work and more often for dinner. If you haven't been to Sushi Fuku yet and want great, fresh, fast-food sushi, I can't recommend it more. Go now and enjoy! read more

Confusing concept and the sushi could taste much better. Sushi Fuku is a new restaurant that just opened up in Oakland. It's assembly line-style sushi (a la Chipotle). I think most people will simply pick their FEATURE rolls or bowls (about $7 each), where the combinations of protein, vegetables, and sauces have already been decided for you. I've had the pittsburgh roll and the california roll and they were both mediocre. The vegetables and protein are not fresh, and they DRENCH the sushi in sauce. SESAME SEEDS are lacking in the rolls, so that nutty and added flavor is missing. You can customize your sushi too. While their concept is advertised as being as easy as 1-2-3, it's just CONFUSING. I'm not sure people are comfortable customizing sushi like a burrito. In summary, I think they need to drop the customized sushi concept and improve the quality of their sushi. read more

Pretty cool concept. Rolls are very reasonably priced. Agree with other reviewers, regarding subway layout, but it works well. I can't remember a sushi place that has build your own roll. You can also get a sushi burrito, bowl, etc. For what this place is going for, I think it is very good. It's not gourmet sushi and that's not what you should expect. If you want better than average sushi, want it quick and want a fun, unique restaurant, then you shouldn't be disappointed. I will be back! read more

Atarashi - Spicy tuna roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Interesting concept. Is the name supposed to draw a double take and have people notice the restaurant? Either way it worked. Good environment. Lots of bright let being let in. Tables are really small though and close to one another. Chipotle-style customization is appealing to those who can create good roll combinations. But unlike Chipotle and similar concepts, I found it a lot more difficult to build a cohesive roll. My friend made his own sushi - bacon, assortment of veggies.... it didn't turn out very well and fell apart easily. I got the Korean roll thinking it might have similar flavors to a korean taco I enjoy elsewhere, but the steak was flavorless, and so dry it was impossible to chew and painful to swallow. The kimchi had no flavor and did not save the otherwise bland mayo and beef combination. Bad decision. But this seems to reflect on the quality of their ingredients that are used in their food, and in the build your own as well. On the upside, portions are huge (like 10 pieces per roll) and are a steal for the price, and this is a notch above any campus sushi I've ever had, so there's that at least. read more

I won't repeat what others already wrote about this being a fast food concept for sushi. Definitely far from good sushi, but certainly an interesting, streamlined concept. First time I have seen the machines, but definitely not something I would seek out. This is one of the first times my boys did not scarf down the rolls. You can enhance the flavor with a variety of sauces..they were a bit bland due to the rolls having so much rice. Either way, nice concept for college kids who are on the run all the time. read more

I was meeting a friend for lunch and I don't eat sushi... but this place is awesome! For those of us who don't like sushi or even seafood they have a great bowl option that allows you to pick your protein, veggies, and sauces. I had the white rice with grilled chicken, carrots, sprouts and avocado with sweet chili sauce. SO GOOD! I added some sriracha for added kick toward the end. They also were participating in the Restaurant Week here in Oakland, so $6.00 for plenty of food for lunch was awesome! The seating options are limited so groups would have a harder time during busy parts of the day... all 2-top seats and there is a window facing bar for single / additional seating. My friend said she loves the salmon bowl with yum-yum sauce - so it seems like the seafood is good too! read more

Decided to go to the new South Hills locations, not looking up the menu before or any reviews I thought I would give it a try. Immediately as I walked up to the line to order, I figured most of the food I'd be eating was processed. I was expecting it to be fresher ingredients. I also thought I would get more quantity of the toppings I wanted as well. Very disappointed because there are not many poke places around this area. read more

I got the poke bowl. It filled me up and was an acceptable price. Ingredients were satisfactory. Speed was very fast, like others say, subway style ordering. It was my first time, I was unprepared and my hesitation caused an uncomfortable air all around me. It felt like the "soup Nazi" episode on Seinfeld. I was waiting to hear "no poke for you!" The owner then carried on a personal conversation with me for a few minutes, relaxing the atmosphere. I enjoyed it overall. My daughter liked it. I wasn't disappointed, even though a 45 minute one way drive and multi block walk was involved in meeting my friends there. read more

Almost a year after my first visit to Sushi Fuku I decided to give the place another shot. And I have to say, this time around the food I got was much better! I'd give them a 3.5 if I could since the meal wasn't quite "Yay I'm a fan" worthy, but they're still a step or two above just being "a-ok." My biggest complaint last time was the mix of rice vs. protein and vegetables in my sushi - specifically that my sushi was almost entirely rice, which isn't what I want in my sushi rolls. If I want rice, I'll order rice, and I certainly won't pay $7 - $10 for it! Fortunately my last visit earlier this week was much better than that first visit - I enjoyed an order of their Rainbow Rolls that was not 70% rice, and in fact featured exactly the right balance of rice vs. other ingredients. The result was that while my sushi wasn't the freshest or greatest on the planet, it was certainly much more enjoyable than round one had been. I actually sat and savored that meal in Sushi Fuku, since they weren't super busy while I was there. I left feeling content and satisfied, and finally understanding why people get the appeal of coming in and ordering customizable sushi rolls. (Of course the catch with creating your own is that the ingredients won't necessarily mix and stick together well - one benefit of a standard menu is that it's been tested for things like that.) I still don't think they're necessarily the best or even cheapest sushi in the area - just depending on exactly what you order - but at least now I know that if I stop in and order sushi again I won't just be paying for a whole lot of rice with a dash of fish and vegetables. I'll definitely consider stopping in in the future. read more

Atarashi - Poke bowl and sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I came here because my friend insisted on coming here to eat sushi. We both ended up getting different bowls, she got the volcano bowl and I got the *new* Hawaiian Poke bowl. I have to admit, I was deeply disappointed with the bowl. Due to the assembly line and quick service concept of the place, the bowl was sloppily put together and there was no love or care put into it. The amount of tuna, rice, and well, any ingredients but the sauce, was a pitiful amount. The quality of the tuna and rice was also pretty mediocre compared to other places I've had on campus. The sauce they put on was overwhelming and made everything too salty. For the price I paid, I wanted something a bit more and this place fell deeply short of that. If you are willing to wait maybe just 5 more minutes for your bowl and pay 50 cents more for a much much superior poke bowl, do yourself a favor and go next door to Mt. Everest where they actually put care (and a TON of fish) in your bowl. read more

My friend and I met up for lunch and this was both our first time trying Sushi Fuku. I think the concept is really unique and the location is really perfect with the hospital being so close. Definitely a place you can grab a quick lunch which is always nice for those busy days. I was pleasantly surprised by how big the sushi rolls were since I'm used to getting tiny shrimp tempura rolls from Nakama; which I don't mind. I decided to get shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber, white rice and soy sauce ($6.95). They do not skimp you on the veggies they are pretty large in size. The shrimp was extra crispy which was really nice. I thought the sushi was flavorful, but I struggled with the seaweed being on the outside of the roll. It was kinda tough to chew and I would have preferred it was on the inside, but overall I thought everything was great. You get 10 rolls and I thought the price wasn't bad for how much get get. My friend ordered the Philly roll and she really liked it! I probably wouldn't pick something like that only because it's made with raw salmon. read more
