Fuji at Ink Block — Restaurant in Boston

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fuji, a charming Japanese restaurant nestled in the heart of the city, and I must say that my experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was captivated by the warm and inviting ambiance, which set the stage for an unforgettable culinary adventure.

The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the bento box, a true masterpiece that left me utterly satisfied and craving for more. Not only was it an exceptional value for money, but it also showcased the culinary expertise and attention to detail that Fuji is renowned for. Each compartment of the bento box was a delightful surprise, offering a harmonious blend of flavors, textures, and colors that made my taste buds dance with joy.

The presentation of the bento box was a work of art in itself, with every ingredient meticulously arranged to create a visually stunning ensemble. From the perfectly seasoned sushi rolls to the tender teriyaki chicken, every element was prepared with utmost care, showcasing the restaurant's dedication to excellence. The freshness and quality of the ingredients were evident in every bite, elevating the dining experience to new heights.

The portion size of the bento box was generous, ensuring that I left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied. The combination of diverse flavors and textures within a single box provided a well-rounded meal that catered to my cravings, without overwhelming my palate. It was the ideal balance of variety and harmony, leaving me with a sense of culinary contentment.

Their friendly demeanor, along with their willingness to accommodate specific dietary preferences, made me feel valued as a guest. Their passion for Japanese cuisine was evident in their recommendations and descriptions of each dish, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the meal.

In addition to the exceptional bento box, Fuji's menu boasts a wide selection of other Japanese delicacies that I can't wait to explore on future visits. The restaurant's commitment to authenticity and their ability to deliver impeccable flavors make it a true gem in the culinary landscape of our city.

All in all, my visit to Fuji was an extraordinary culinary journey that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking an authentic and memorable Japanese dining experience. From the delectable bento box to the warm hospitality, every aspect of my visit exceeded my expectations. I eagerly await my next opportunity to indulge in the culinary delights that Fuji...

My girlfriend and I love this place. We recently moved to Boston's South End and this was one of the first places we went. Having dropped in on a whim we didn't know exactly what to expect but we were not expecting to have such a great time!

The food is fantastic. The miso, pan fried potstickers, deconstructed wings, and sweet beef teriyaki are some of our go to appetizers that never disappoint. For entrées, it is impossible to go wrong with any of their upon options (I like the beef and my girlfriend likes the shrimp tempura). Lastly, our dessert staples are any of their ice cream/mochi options. Some of the more interesting (but unbelievably addictive) ice cream flavors include red bean, black sesame, and green tea.

As if the food isn't enough to come back for again and again, the best thing about this place is the staff. Our first time visiting we were seated in Alex's section. Alex took such great care of us. He was funny, engaging, and beyond accommodating of all of our needs. We had such a great time talking to him during his visits to our table that when we returned again and again, we would specifically request to be seated in his section. However one night in particular, we were seated in Tina's section. After initially being minutely disappointed by not having Alex as our server, our disappointment quickly faded as we came to find out that Tina is just as engaging and accommodating. It seems that the staff here are just incrediblely good, kind and friendly people.

I can't recommend this place enough. If it were possible to give a 10 out of 5, this place would deserve it. We have not visited in a little while however, we felt this restaurant and its staff really deserved to be praised for all of the effort they put in to truly make this an exceptional experience...

For our final stop in Boston, we set our hearts out on a Japanese restaurant and ended up at Fuji at Ink Block. Based on the high ratings and their very attractive menu, we just knew we had to stop by.

Starting off with a couple of appetizers, the Lobster Rangoon was spectacular. These little parcels were jam-packed with cream cheese and lobster. A great spin on your typical crab rangoon. We also wanted to try their Satay Chicken Lettuce Wraps. The chicken was very well marinated and incredibly tender. This would have been a great main entree.

For the main course, I wanted to try as many different types as possible of fish the restaurant offered so I opted in for their Fuji Don. This included tuna, tuna toro, salmon, seared salmon toro, sea urchin, eel, seared scallop, seared sweet shrimp, and micro greens over a bed of sushi rice and arugula. Each piece of fish was at its optimum quality. This was a phenomenal dish, and I was absolutely floored with the presentation.

For my final bite, I saw under their "The Finer Nigiri" there were several choices. I was told the Black Truffle Foie Gras was very popular, and my mind was made up. This came in one of the best presentations I've seen. It came encased under a glass dome with smoke. The server removed the dome, and the smoke slowly dissipated revealing the two pieces of nigiri underneath. Once again, my jaw was on the ground. At roughly $30 for these two pieces of sushi, they were stunning.

Overall, I had a great experience here at Fuji at Ink Block and would highly recommend it to any traveler or Bostonian. I can't wait to return once I'm in the area again to try their other...
