I love Sushi Fuku! I always build my own bowl. They have a great variety and everything is fresh! Whenever I'm in the Oakland area I have to stop in and get a bowl! They are super fast and everyone is always nice. With COVID they are take our only but it is super easy to order online! read more

Loved this place!! It's clean, fast and cheap. I have tried most of their food and what I like the most is their poke and gyoza cause it's crispy and there no meat inside, there is seafood tasty instead. There are pop refills and you can orderJapanese tea and Calpis (many flavors are available). I just miss a dessert sometimes when I in there. I know there's a Bubble Tea Store very close but I wish I could order a delicious pastry in there. 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

First time here , the sushi burrito is great, it was essentially make your own type thing with a Chipotle like bar. The food was fairly fresh and the burrito came out really good, would recommend ! read more

A friend of mine from work recommended this place to me, after telling him how much I like poké bowls, sushi etc. For starters, I placed my order at noon for a one-thirty delivery time. You would think an hour and a half would be enough time to get an order together (mind you it comes cold/raw so it doesn't even require cooking time) but it wasn't. I watched as the delivery driver drove aimlessly from Oakland to Downtown, but not before going over the Birmingham Bridge into Southside, and then coming back over the bridge just to go down Fifth Ave and into Downtown. With all that aside, he showed up at 1:53, oh well, I've worked in food, I'll let it slide, still tipped the driver at 20%, I open my bag in hopes of seeing a poké bowl and a sushi-burrito but I received a second poké bowl instead of the burrito and it was plain nasty... Probably because it wasn't my order. The poké bowl I ordered was decent, a bit overpriced for the amount that came in it but it was decent. I picked at the other bowl but it was pretty gross because there were things in it that I wouldn't normally order, probably because it wasn't my order. Oh well, they got my money, but they'll never get it again. Hope your experience turns out better than mine. read more

Very good food and quick service. I ordered with 3 classmates on a Saturday night. I got to choose the ingredients for a poke bowl that were all in containers right in front of me. You can design your own bowl or if you're like me you can choose a pre-designed one although there was only one option. Thankfully it was good! Two of my classmates chose sushi rolls instead of a bowl. The place had plenty of seating and was moderately busy for a Saturday night in Oakland. I ate there and it was clean inside. Most of the patrons looked to be college students. The manager offered to clean up for me which was great but I was happy to throw away my own trash. I got water to drink but there is a soda fountain with unlimited refills as well. I don't hang out in Oakland often but would be happy to go back next time. read more

I serve fast and reasonable price. Their sushi rice and roll use the machine to make. Quality of the food kind of acceptable. Hard to find parking due to down town. Clean environment. read more

Very good! The prices aren't bad and I like the sushi there. They have a boba tea place across the street which is good, just get light or no sweetness. They make sushi burritos and poke too. You can customize your own roll like chipotle except way better. I recommend this place a lot! read more

gross and expensive. Not worth. Had the volcano bowl and couldnt even get through 3 bites.

LOVE this place! I work on Meyran Ave and this is my go to lunch spot in Oakland. I get the Hawaiian Bowl every time. I want to venture out but I am too obsessed. If you are a sushi fan 10/10 recommend. read more

This is my favorite lunch togo. You can get any sushi order turned into a salad. So I get the paradise burrito as a salad. It's fresh, summery, and delicious. Plus super fast between my jobs. Service is very nice and this location is larger than Craig st so I prefer this Sushi Fuku. read more

Sushi with training wheels. This is where I take my friends to try sushi if they have never had it before. Lots of selections and many cooked options for a good price. You can choose a established combination or choose your own. I caution you that if you choose your own to be familiar with the ingredients as not to make something that doesn't taste good. It's kind of like subway for sushi. I f you have someone who has been scared of trying sushi this is a perfect place to take them. read more

This place is amazing! Love the concept. You can either select one of their signature rolls or create your own, by selecting from the fresh ingredients right in front of you! Excellent customer service and great prices. Being from Hawaii, I'm always craving good sushi, and this definitely satisfies my craving! read more

Horrible service! There are kids who work here. They rush everything so the food is sloppy. They don't add the wasabi and ginger on the side unless you request it. Don't go to this location! read more

I mean it's subway for sushi, what's better than that! I really enjoyed their rolls and bowls. I also like that they have the option for brown rice too, and they have a good array of vegetables to choose from. They go heavy on the sauce, so be careful when ordering some. You could always get it on the side as well. Good concept and good food, and they're opening one closer to CMU's campus too! It's also great for vegans/vegetarians! read more

Been eating sushi for 20 years and Sushi Fuku is by far my favorite! Really fresh & tasty choices. Love the burrito and bowl options; large servings and not super expensive. Paradise burrito and the Dynamite rolls are my favorite. Very cool & inviting interior space. Easily the best and freshest sushi in Oakland! read more

The restaurants employees were pretty friendly (spoke Chinese to me, but I struggled a bit with conversation because my Chinese is a bit rusty :) ). The tables and chairs were clean, but a downside is that the seating area is pretty small, so it can easily get cramped. I enjoyed my "make my own" sushi and there are many other options other than the typical sushi roll (a bowl, vegetarian options, etc). I thought my smoke salmon tasted fresh and the other ingredients were typical. I'd definitely come again! read more

Love this place and it's right by my office in Oakland! The sushi is fresh and I love the flexibility to get it prepared many different ways, either in a chirashi bowl format, a burrito, or a standard sushi roll. They let you choose what kind of fish you want, veggie and other toppings, type of rice, several different sauces, etc. It's like the Chipotle of sushi. The staff are always very friendly and efficient and there is a comfortable seating area. read more

Another surprise for us. My son could eat any type of Asian food morning, noon and night. We've taken him here several times for take out and we went elsewhere. But, on Sunday, we all went and ate inside. The people that work there are very nice and helpful. The menu is almost like a subway-style; you tell them what you want from an easy to follow menu, and they make it. We all had sushi (although they do have some cooked dishes). All very good. Fresh and certainly a good size portion. They have several sauces to choose from and that's always fun. No leftovers. It was quick too. I think with us pondering the menu and eating, we were done in about 45 minutes. VERY nice that they recognize there are other people in Oakland besides the students as they were actually open where we noticed other locations on that street were closed. read more

When Sushi met Chipotle, they met in Heaven. Heaven is located in two places. One in Oakland and one in Craig St., between Pitt and CMU campuses. Sushi Fuku is a fast-food style, but not in quality, Make-Your-Own Sushi Rolls, or Bowls, or Salads, or Burrito. You pick the dwelling for your food, like Chipotle, then your protein, veggies, condiments, and watch the magical process happen, as the machine slices the roll into 10 LARGE pieces. The amount of food for your money is ridiculous. Literally, one roll could easily feed 2 people. Everything looked and tasted very fresh, and the possible combinations are endless. Definitely a new favorite and worth the experience. read more

10/10 recommend to others; I've been there multiple times and plan to continue going there! The location itself is small, but it's nice for a quick lunch with friends after a long day of classes or just somewhere to go on the weekend. I've ordered the Volcano Bowl, which was excellent--I will warn you that the jalapeño and spicy mayo do have a kick to them! I also highly recommend the Dynamite Roll (ask for light spicy mayo)--this is my favorite dish on the menu. The service is great, and I've had nothing but great experiences with the workers (even when I'm being very picky about my order). I also enjoy that everything is fresh and you get to watch them make your order, so you know exactly what you're eating! Also, very fairly priced for how large their portions are. read more

I'll preface this with it's not my go to sushi place, but every time I've been to the place it is very good. It's a great quick food option. Everything is prepared as I've ordered it and always tastes super fresh. Whenever I'm in Oakland I'll order a roll. Really just one minimal complaint they don't peel cucumbers and I don't like the texture of the peel. read more

Described as "Chipotle for sushi", I was excited to try Sushi Fuku. I brought my daughter who loves sushi for lunch. The description is perfect. Pick bowl or wrap(seaweed instead of a burrito), pick rice(brown/white), pick your meat(they have cooked meats too), pick 3 veg, and then pick 2 sauces. There are a few other customizations available, but basically that's it. Could it be any more like Chipotle? Verdict: we loved it. I had a tuna and salmon bowl (it's a few bucks to get two meats) and my kiddo had a tuna roll. The rolls are enormous so she only finished 7/10 pieces. I finished about 5/6 of my bowl. The kiddo did have a bit of a problem with the size of the sushi pieces. She had to take multiple bites of each one so some of them fall apart. She's used to her food falling apart so she didn't mind, but I can see being annoyed by that. Incidentally, I am adding the "rice spreading machine" and roll cutting machine" to my Christmas list. Quite cool. Next time I'd like to try the cooked chicken and have a warm bowl. read more

At $8 a roll, 5 stars. Charging any more than that, I'd want to see them cut the fresh fish in the pieces (like in Wholey's in the Strip District). Watching the sushi chef make the cuts is part of the experience. Since it's cheap, and all the ingredients that will go into your roll is already prepared similar to Subway and Chipotle--it's a good deal. I like salmon, brown rice, with tamago, avocado, cucumber, sesame seeds, and spicy mayo sauce on the side. And if I feel like paying $2 extra that day, the fish eggs (masago). A warning about customizing your own roll-- **IT MIGHT NOT TASTE GOOD** Know what you're asking them to put in your roll. I made this mistake when I wanted to add everything that I liked, which basically taught me how kimchi doesn't taste great with everything. If you've been reading the other reviews, yes, this place is very "Americanized." They have a menu of uncommon ingredients such as bacon, (cold) chicken, and steak. English translations are also next to the Japanese names. They have quite a few original rolls with interesting combinations--Pittsburgh Roll, Oakland Roll, Twin City Roll, etc. I always appreciate a sanitary restaurant. It's really clean with someone always cleaning the table and rearranging the chairs after a party leaves. read more

I discovered that I didn't like sushi awhile ago, but the great thing about this place is that you don't have to eat here (even though it's in the name)! A friend convinced me to come here, and I played it safe with a chicken bowl which was absolutely delicious. Then, I became bolder and tried a roll with cream cheese, avocado and shrimp and my meal was made! Coupled with soy sauce and spicy sushi sauce, I found something that I could go back to time and time again. So don't let the fact that you dislike sushi keep you from experiencing this place, because there are plenty of options for sushi lovers and non-sushi lovers! read more

Like others have said this is the Chipotle of the sushi world. You stand in line and tell one person if you want a sushi roll, bowl, or salad. Then your food is handed off to the next employee where they ask what you want in your sushi. Finally your food gets handed off to a third employee and adds in whatever type of sauce and finishes off your dish before handing it to you. Price - Around what I would expect. I had an eel roll for $7. Portion - At first I thought "how can one roll possibly fill me up?" but I was struggling with that last piece. The roll is bigger than your typical roll. Ambiance - Minimalistic Asian inspired I would say. They have a wall of condiments so you can grab as much soy soy, siracha, etc. for your dish. I wouldn't recommend coming here in a big group because the tables are set up so you either sit by yourself or in a table for two people. Location - GREAT location if you work/live/or go to school at Pitt. Great for vegans and vegetarians and you can get as crazy and inauthentic as you like. My friend made a roll with asparagus, cream cheese, and crab. We all enjoyed our meals and will be coming back. read more

SETTING Cool modern look with big screens on the wall to walk you through the ordering process. Casual. Chipotle/Subway-esque "made to your order" assembly line. Clean environment, which is hard to find in Oakland. FOOD I don't think Sushi Fuku is trying to be a fancy sushi joint. It knows it's place in the sushi market and efficiently cranks out rolls that attempt to be the "best bang for your buck", only that there wasn't much "bang". I made my own roll: Brown rice (choose white or brown), shrimp tempura (choose 1 meat), avocado, cucumbers, kimchi (choose 3 veggies), wasabi ginger sauce and sesame seeds (choose 2 sauces). Rice was kind of dry, avocado was browning a bit, and they gave me carrots instead of the cucumbers I asked for. They do have some creative sauces, though. I went with the wasabi ginger sauce, and it was okay. I like putting ginger on sushi, and they only give you a few small pieces on the side. Everything just seemed a bit dry and bland. I'm not a sushi snob, but when I eat sushi, I prefer the rice to be a bit vinegary and a tiny bit moist and have the avacodos fresh. I LOVE avocados. SERVICE Fast. They definitely have the assembly line down pat, which helps during busy lunch hours. Order and pay up front, then seat yourself. IMPRESSIONS For 10 pieces at $7 (unless you order a menu item), it's not a bad deal, but I feel there are a few basic requirements that a properly made sushi needs to meet. Unfortunately that was not the case here. However, if you need a fast and light lunch on a budget you might want to give Sushi Fuku a try. read more

Okay, I'm going to be totally honest - the name initially drew me to this newest addition to the Oakland sushi scene. Yeah, it's the seventh grader in me perhaps. But c'mon - the place IS named Fuku. Admit it. You just smiled. You know what else will make you smile? The sushi options here! Based on the Chipotle/Noodles & Co. approach of "choose your own adventure food," Sushi Fuku allows you to build your own rolls with options such as white or brown rice, a variety of fish (including eel - yea!) and non-fish proteins, interesting veggie choices (such as the Korean treat kimchi), and tantalizing toppings like wasabi mayo. I withheld one star only because this place gets PACKED weekdays at lunch, so you'll end up standing in line for quite a long time and probably won't find a place to sit. I also wish they had more adventurous options for the specialty rolls. Several of them aren't even made with fish. However, this is likely due to the typical Pittsburgher's less than daring palate. (Frankly, I'm surprised none of the specialty rolls are topped with fries. This is something they might want to consider for the Pittsburgh area.) Overall, this place is worth a lunchtime visit. Just try to avoid going right at noon, unless you love long lines and eating while you stand. read more

Shrimp never feels real. Sushi as a whole feels artificial.

This place is truly a hidden gem. I've never been to a place like this! So it's basically Japanese chipotle. I'm not a big sushi eater, so this place is actually perfect for me! I always order the bowls with teriyaki chicken and I'm able to get any kind of vegetables and sauces I want! They even have yum-yum sauce like Hibachi restaurants! When my brother comes to visit he always loves coming here! The employees are super nice and helpful and the pricing isn't too bad. Come give this place a try! read more

At Sushi Fuku, the power is in your hands: you get to decide between bowl or rolls, you get to pick your protein, you get to decide on which vegetables and sauces as well. It's like Subway, but for sushi. It's a quick and convenient lunch/dinner after a long day of classes or work. This interactive sushi making place is such a clever idea. I definitely recommend this if you are in the Oakland area. read more

One day a man had a dream. Probably not an inspiring "I have a dream" kind of dream, but more likely a poorly understood collection of images viewed while unconscious and only vaguely remembered. At any rate, this man woke up one day from his slumber and said, "Hey, I like Qdoba and Chipotle, but instead of burritos, could I customize rolls of extremely inauthentic sushi from limited options? And make sure it's mostly rice." BAM! Sushi Fuku was born. So pick a protein, some add-ons, a sauce and a type of rice, and throw it all together in a bowl or a roll (yes, it rhymes, and yes, you can't walk 2 feet in the place without being reminded of it). It's not bad, but once the limited novelty wears off, that's about all you can say of the place. It's sushi fast food, and though I felt it was a little overpriced (though admittedly each roll is quite large), I'll probably wind up back here. Especially if the line is longer at Chipotle. read more

This sushi was the best sushi I've ever had. I opened the bag and it smelt so good. I had gotten the crab Rangoon roll if you like crab and shrimp that roll is the roll to get! read more

This is how America does sushi! I was skeptical about this place at first... having just watched "Jiro, Dreams of Sushi" I expect an extensive variety of extremely high quality ingredients out of my sushi experience. While that isn't exactly what you'll find here, I was pleasantly surprised. The selection is limited compared to most sushi places but the quality of what they offer is very good. The price is incredible for the amount of food you get-- comparable to chipotle. Don't come here expecting gourmet sushi but do expect delicious, reasonably-priced, americanized sushi. The rolls are huge-- if two rolls typically fill you up, one here will do the trick. read more

Best quality service with great employees. Food tastes amazing and the employees were really friendly. My first time in Pittsburgh, PA and I was pleased that I found this place. It's like a Japanese chipotle. Make sure to try the Eye of the tiger sushi burrito! read more

I've seen a lot of mixed reviews about this place. It's clean, roomy, and has an enjoyable atmosphere.

Atarashi - I'm not a seafood sushi fan so I got a play on the Oakland Ave roll. Mine has chicken, bacon, and cucumber with yum yum sauce. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Sushi Fuku is the sushi equivalent to Panda Express. I'm a sushi-lover myself, and Oakland doesn't exactly fulfill my cravings, but I've given Sushi Fuku a fair share of chances. The reason I make the Panda Express comparison is because of how it Americanizes sushi. For those who are uncertain when it comes to raw fish, Sushi Fuku is suitable (cooked chicken, mayo, crunchy, cream cheese, steak, bacon as options). All in all, the atmosphere is nice for a quick lunch with a friend, and it's pretty affordable. I like the sushi "bowl" option, but the toppings to rice ratio is always off. read more
