Description

What's gold and fresh and red all over? The hip Fuji Ya, the latest--and sexiest--incarnation of the restaurant that introduced Japanese cuisine to Mill City. Foremost among the attractions of the roomy digs include the reliable sushi bar, the vegetarian options, the spacious, quiet dining room, the cozy little tatami rooms, and the stylish bamboo liquor bar. How can one restaurant be hip, sexy, and family-friendly all at the same time? Ponder these and other mysteries, such as how Fuji Ya's udon noodles get so soft but remain so strong, over the best oshinko (pickle) platter in town. Chase the pickles with one of Fuji Ya's 20 or so sakes. Repeat as needed.

  • 2010 | BEST JAPANESE RESTAURANT

    Let's face it: We shouldn't have sushi in Minnesota. As a landlocked northern state best known for growing corn, we're at a serious disadvantage in the seafood department. For helping us forget this sad fact with sushi so fresh you'd think you were in Japan (or at least Hawaii), there's Fuji-Ya, which opened in 1959 and is credited as the Twin Cities' first Japanese restaurant. Hipsters flock to the Uptown location and willingly shed their Chuck Taylors and Frye boots as they enter one of... More »

  • 2005 | BEST TAKEOUT

    We realize that ceremony and presentation are half the magic of a sushi dinner, but the fine folks at Fuji-Ya know that sometimes we just can't make that much magic happen. Accordingly, they have perfected the art of assembling whatever maki, nigiri, or donburi you might have your heart set on, and having it packed and ready to go precisely at the hour you request. You can take your prize down to the lake, over to the St. Croix, or home, where you can arrange it just so on one of the... More »

  • 2004 | BEST RESTAURANT FOR ROMANCE

    What goes on in those little tatami rooms off to the side of the main Fuji-Ya dining room? The ones with the paper screens, the doors that close, and the low tables on the floor, at which you sit on cushions and low-backed chairs? Glad you asked. Sometimes, sometimes celebrities hide in them, with or without their little kids, taking the opportunity to eat out without everyone murmuring about their outfits. Sometimes new parents--the moms finally freed from the sushi ban during... More »

  • 2002 | BEST JAPANESE RESTAURANT

    What's white, gold, red, and good all over? Fuji-Ya, of course. Is there anything we don't like about this place? The sushi bar has settled down into a first-class operation; the front bar-bar (liquor bar? That sounds dumb) is an exceptionally pleasant place to while away an hour sipping the nice varieties of sake (the wine list is also fine); cheap lunch specials and enormous bowls of noodles are uncommonly user-friendly, as is the extensive selection of vegetarian options. What else? Some... More »

  • 2001 | BEST JAPANESE RESTAURANT

    So just what is it that makes a great Japanese restaurant? Good sushi, a pretty dining room, tender noodles, light tempura, pleasant service, good bento boxes, and a good sake list. Yes, yes, Fuji Ya's new location on Lake Street has all of that, yes. To gild the sundae, they also have a couple of standout surprises: The grilled yellowtail cheek is amazing (and a good splurge for the pregnant and those wanting sushi without wanting sushi), the oshinko (pickled vegetable) platter is the best...

  • 2000 | BEST SUSHI

    Fresh, creative, imaginative--don't come to Fuji-Ya for a standard plate of bland tuna, exhausted boiled shrimp, or crinkling-dry salmon. Do come for exquisite examples of a sushi chef's art. Fear not, even though local sushi master Tengo left to head the Minneapolis Athletic Club's new restaurant venture, his former assistant Xao Yang--known to all as Fefu--is carrying the torch just fine. Report to Fefu's counter for bluefin tuna toro as dark as winter dusk, for avocado sliced as thin as... More »
