Fuji East Japanese Bistro — Restaurant in New York

Roosevelt Island is a fantastic place overall, but there aren’t many restaurants here of different cuisines. Fuji East is always my family’s go to takeout service because of how delicious and well-made its sushi is. Every roll is made carefully and beautifully with fresh-tasting fish and appropriate proportions of fish to vegetable/fruit to rice and seaweed. I recommend getting the lunch special because of how reasonably priced the deal is. at first glance, Fuji East is quite expensive, but so is any other sushi restaurant anywhere; the only difference is that Fuji East’s roles have so much more quality to them. Overall, service is great, food is tasty with a wide range of items on the menu, atmosphere and decor is nice, and prices are reasonable for sushi. Once in a while, there are disappointments or slight alterations to what we get, but nothing of importance. Fuji East is a restaurant that I can always feel good eating from and one of great quality!

Update: still love this place and the sushi has a consistent high quality, but I did find a dead fly in my salad 😕 and in general the...

This restaurant only had one couple sitting to dine, while Granny Auntie's across the street had dozens and I learned why the hard way. I ordered for pickup, chicken teriyaki and miso soup. They didn't give me utensils which seems to be a reoccuring theme looking at the reviews. I had to go back and ask for them. Since so many reviewers complain of having to go back for utensils and the restaurant still didn't give me utensils after all of those incidents, I'm guessing this is deliberate. Super cheap. They only gave me chopsticks for teriyaki and miso SOUP. No fork either so if you can't handle chopsticks make sure to ask for one.

Now, onto the food. It was so bad I had to throw most of it out. The chicken was raw in one place and the meal itself was unflavorful. I ordered chicken teriyaki with white rice and for some reason the rice was in a separate container so I had to dump it on top of my chicken which made it awkward to eat. They charge exorbitant prices for mediocre food. Don't waste your...

We live in the same building as this restaurant and order at least once a month from here. The sushi is delicious and fresh. The dumplings and tempura are yummy. The miss soup is hearty and warming just as it should be. The atmosphere in the restaurant is lovely, it's a shame it isn't bigger but still very nice. In the summer, there's a small but pleasant outdoor area where you can eat with your dog. Everything is reasonably priced and most of the staff are very nice and polite. There is one grumpy woman though who served us the first time we came here, best to avoid her if possible! We had an hour until closing time, she reluctantly seated us, grumbled lots and rushed us through our whole meal though we were done in 45 mins. Also if getting takeout be wary, we think the meat/seafood overcooks as it sits waiting to be picked up. We've had overcooked beef, shrimp, salmon and tough chicken multiple times which is...
