I am an owner. of a food and bev business here in Charleston. I want to give the biggest shout out to the bartender who literally sprinted down king street to hand me my credit card that I had forgotten when I closed out my tab. Mind you it was freezing outside and I had already made it two blocks. This was such a kind gesture and saved me a trip back downtown to get my card. I wish I had gotten his name so shame on me for that. But this act of kindness on his behalf was going above and beyond what he had to do and I deeply appreciated it. Kudos to Fuji for staffing such a great person.
We had the best calamari of our life here. Highly recommend!
We also ordered the pork belly baos, a couple of rolls (Christmas roll was TASTY) and some take out food. Seriously, get the calamari age.
Will come back next time we’re in town. If you’re considering it- go!

I came in tonight with a couple of friends, sat at the bar, which was full. I had never been to this place before I had a great experience with the bartender, Tayler And was able to talk with the people next to me about the menu. She made great recommendations for sushi and appetizers. My meal was great. The hibachi was out of this world and the sushi was amazing. I would definitely go back, especially if I got to sit at the bar and have the same experience again.
I don’t usually go out of my way to give a 1 star review, but there is nothing worse then terrible service. The place was half empty except the bar was almost fully seated. I grabbed a seat at the bar and the bartender did say she would get with me soon. I was there for 15 minutes without a menu. She did manage to get me the wifi password and a water.
At first I felt like it was slow, but at least she was checking up on me. Then two other guests showed up and another two and she continued to get drink orders from them and then continued to service them.
This left me wondering why I was the only Asian person at an Asian restaurant in the South not getting waited on when people that came in after me were getting drinks and their orders put in all after I arrived.
At this point I don’t know if it’s just “southern” hospitality, but it’s not a good look either way. Service was slow and terrible with a hint of potential racism.
I promptly got up and left after sitting at the bar for 15 minutes and only getting a glass of water and needing to ask to get a menu and watching people get served before me.

Pretty good rolls and very decent prices.
II had some pretty awful poke down the street, so I needed something to save the day and stumbled on this place. I did their three roll lunch special for 20 bucks, and it was worth the money.
The spicy tuna roll wasn't spicy, but it was good. The Hamachi roll was tasty. The salmon roll was also good.
No complaints, and the interior was cool. It was not the most spectacular service, but I didn't need anything fancy.

Sophia was amazing as a server. Gave great suggestions and super polite and attentive. Sushi was tasty and fresh. Gyoza was yummy! Spicy Tuna Wontons were outstanding! We had the September Roll and the JoJo Roll. Couldn’t be happier with the choice. Distinctly different from each other but both were scrumptious. Highly recommend this place! Ask to be sat in Sophia’s section! Never heard any music from neighboring businesses and the service was extremely fast. We had two appetizers and two rolls and two glasses of wine each and were in and out the door in under an hour.
Decided to check out a sushi spot while we were in town even though we’re from Florida and get fresh sushi all the time.
This place did not disappoint.
Super original menu with a lot of tempting options — huge portions and super fresh.
As for the location itself, I highly recommend reservations. We popped in late on a Sunday and they were slammed — take out was taking 2+ hours they said and the wait would be over an hour. We were encouraged to check upstairs and see if there was a spot available and we squeezed in at the bar. Ambiance probably would’ve been great normally but the bar/club next door was doing a happy hour party or something and it was super loud + the music at FUJI trying to compete was a train wreck. Wouldn’t recommend for a date spot necessarily but was worth it for the sushi!
Wish we were local so I could come back and try the ramen. Hard to find good ramen by us.
