Good food and interesting variety. Order at the counter and they bring you your food when ready. Downtown studying location has some fun decor. Just a block off Pearl Street if walking.

Went to the restaurant and ordered a Fuji don bowl with tuna. When I got my meal the tuna was canned. It smelled really bad and I could not eat it. I kindly told the server I expected the tuna to be fresh and if I could order something else. She gave me 2 options beef or salmon. I asked for salmon and she took my bowl. She promptly came back with the same bowl and the canned tuna still on top with smoked salmon thrown on top of the canned tuna. I still could not eat it because the canned tuna (now mixed with smoked salmon) smelled and tasted horrific. I told the waitress I could not eat this. She said sorry , walked away and ignored our table for about 30 mins. Finally we got her attention and she brought us a bill. The bill double charged for my original $16 meal and then the meal with the salmon $16 (which was the same meal with salmon thrown on top) my meal that I did not eat was $32. Below is a photo of what I was served.

Searched "sushi" and this was the top result. They DO NOT serve sushi here.

The lentil soup was just tasteless also chicken dumplings were same. The server was not paying attention to customers at all.

Hubby really enjoyed our meals here after a day of sightseeing. This is a family-run restaurant with friendly staff and food made by family from scratch in the kitchen. We loved the cozy atmosphere and delicious food. Everything was seasoned well and delivered fresh and piping hot to our table. If we were locals, Fugi would quickly become one of our favorite go-to restaurants!

I really missed this place, drove all the way from denver, parked like a quarter mile away and walked just to have a bland meal with old dried out rice. It felt like i was eating leftovers. What a letdown. A waste of time and money.

I came in at the end of the night but was treated to quick service and good food very quickly. The momos were well seasoned and the sauce served along side was very tasty. I had the Nepalese curry as my entree and enjoyed it. Will be coming back!

Arrived around 1p on a Monday. There was a couple already seated. I placed my order (iced green tea, monos and an ugnagi bowl) and opted to pay immediately. Another group of two entered and was served their meal quickly.After 30 minutes, I was about to go ask about my meal. The server looked up from the kitchen at me for a long moment before checking her register - presumably remembering I was still there and checking to see what I ordered. She asked if I would like my entree first as the momo’s were “taking a long time to steam”.I was finally served. The unagi was decent, but obviously the product of the microwave I’d heard a minute before. It was not grilled as their menu states (at least not grilled that day). The iced green tea was near tasteless. When my momo’s arrived, they were decently spiced, though the sauce did a lot of heavy lifting.While the food was decent, it wasn’t anything special. The service I experienced was subpar at best, especially considering the lack of other patrons.
Fuji Restaurant in Boulder is a gem! Best onigiri and amazing dumplings. Excellent customer service, and the food is flavorful and delicious. Highly recommended!
Fuji restaurant is not a fusion of Himalayan and Japanese food: it is a 2-in-1 restaurant that fails at both cuisines. My Tikka masala tastes like how it looks: one-note, plain and just a chore to get through. The sauce wasn't deep or complex and tasted like instant masala. The unagi was a bit better but not by much. They had so much potential to do something new, but instead got lazy and made boring meals with no love put into them. Service was okay but practically non-existent as you have to get your own water and pay at a booth when you're done.

This is a true gem! Their onigiri is simply outstanding, offering a delightful burst of flavors with every bite. They have an incredibly hardworking and friendly staff. They go above and beyond to ensure a warm and welcoming dining experience. A visit to Fuji is not just a meal; it's a journey through exceptional food and service.

Thursday 10/4/2023: ordered the onigiri and miso lunch. The miso was decent, but the salmon onigiri was nasty! took one bite and returned it. The server took my plate and ignored me, went to the back of the kitchen and left me there. I paid $18 USD plus tip for a rotten salmon onigiri. On top of everything, I went hungry because I did not have enough time to go for lunch somewhere else. Highly disappointing

I got the three onigiri lunch, and wasn't particularly impressed. The green iced tea didn't taste of tea at all, just cold, slightly colored water. The 'pickles' were a few shreds of rice vinegar-marinated cabbage and carrots - didn't even half fill the tiny to go condiment container they put it in. The tuna and mayo onigiri was good. The miso onigiri had good flavor but was WAY too salty. And the salmon onigiri, true to another review from a few days before, was fishy in the BAD way. Also, the night before as I was walking by, I was looking at the window as I remembered I'd been meaning to check this place out. When the two guys manning the restaurant saw me, they spread their arms out and gave me a look of 'what are you staring at?!' ....Your restaurant. I was staring at your restaurant, deciding if I wanted to change my plans and go in. But y'all with your arm waving while you were holding your phones creeped me out last night, and today's experience will ensure I won't go back.
DELISH! Order the momos ? (not pictured)
