What People Are Saying About Fuki-Sushi
Featured Review

The Scene – Can your three-year-old ask for "edamame" by name? Lots of Palo Alto kids are weaned on Fuki Sushi, along with Stanford undergrads and profs tired of Tressider dining hall pizza. The clientele runs the Palo Alto gamut, and the sushi bar can be raucous. The rest of the restaurant is all about quiet sophistication, with private booths and low lighting. – – The Food – The sushi and sashimi have many proponents, but the house shabu shabu--Japanese fondue with meat, cabbage and other veggies dipped in hot broth--is worthy of great praise. Many of the hot…

A Fine Meal or a Sushi and Sake Night!
by Vgbnd at Citysearch
For twenty five years I've enjoyed the hospitality of the Io family at their restaurant called Fuki-Sushi. During my early career in Silicon Valley their much smaller (at the time) Fuki-Sushi was a home away from home, where quality food and ingredients was always the standard. Whether it was simple oyako donburi or a tsukiyaki, the experience was more of a home-cooked meal than that of a restaurant.
It has been with a sense of pride as a customer that I've seen Fuki-Sushi grow as an establishment. They have gorgeously expanded and renovated, with an inviting reception area, an enlarged main dining area and sushi bar, and private tatami rooms with their quiet elegance. More importantly they have maintained the quality of food and service that originated from their simple beginnings.
I've had occasion to host corporate events at this fine establishment, where the Io family has gone out of their way to make my guests comfortable and satiated. Whether a private dinner meeting in a tatami room with a dedicated hostess, to a lively Sushi-and-Sake night, Fuki-Sushi has been a crowd-pleaser. At a special sushi bar, they have even taught my clients and friends how to roll-your-own sushi, quite a memorable experience in making your own spider hand roll!
From this perspective, both as a discriminating diner seeking a fine meal, to someone seeking only the best for a corporate event, I have depended on the Io family for their consistent quality and hospitality. To say that I am biased might be an understatement, but it is a bias based on experience.
- Pros: Outstanding sushi, great hospitality
- Cons: In life, you pay for quality
