dont say i didnt warn you

Go here if you are on a tight budget or if all the other sushi joints are full. you walk in the door and your hair is blown away by the air conditioner above you- no wonder the valet guys stand inside and open the door for you- they need some way to get you to keep walking in to the restaurant.... its noicy- like a diner- and the don't feel that the sushi is fresh enough, or made with care, the edemame- wasnt fresh looking or tasting- i like it warm and salty- this was not all the way warm and hardly tasty- the waiter did not seem to take his time with our order- i left laughing about how awful it was- I am now a stickler for Oishi (across town and chestnut hill- pricy but worth every cent) and Mr Sushi (right around the corner on Harvard St.- not tooo pricy).

• Pros: cheap- but not that cheap
• Cons: entrance, wait staff, environment, food quality

Excellent sashimi. Very attentive service, too much pressure on quick payment.

I was recommended this restaurant by locals. I am from Sydney, Australia which undoubtedly has some of the best Japanese restaurants around, but Fugakyu lived up to its reputation. I have been a few times, and each time I haven't been disappointed. It has a really fun atmosphere, and great private rooms. I would recommend the Edamame (salted, steamed soya beans) as a starter and the sushi/sashimi boat, which is great value for a group of people. Steer clear of the desserts (especially the banana coated with chocolate and fried, tempura style!). Service was very prompt and friendly, although, the pressure to pay quickly and get out, ruined the end of the dinner a little. Still, a fun and great experience.
