Fujiya ~ Tacoma, Wa

Fujiya is the best sushi place I have ever eaten at. It was also the first place I ever tried sushi and I am hooked. Finding the restaurant is the hardest part. It is tucked into a office building out of the way from view so you have to know where you are going. Once you get there you are in for a treat for both eyes and stomach.

The sushi is expertly prepared and presented. The fish is fresh and tasty. One of the best rolls on the menu is the 69 roll. A tempura fried shrimp is at the center with creamy spicy scallops piled over the top along with wasabi fish roe. The combination is heavenly. I recommend the gyoza sauce a dipping sauce for the sushi. Speaking of gyoza, Fujiya really knows how to make it. The gyoza is always tender and flavorful, I recommend the pan fried version. The also have a good selection of saki, beer and wine. For your non-sushi eating friends, they are welcome too. Fujiya has a great selection of chicken and steak dishes.

For a table of 2 that orders, saki, an appetizer, 2 rolls and some a' la carte sushi you are looking at spending $50-$70 depending on what you choose. But if you go Mon - Thur and sit at the bar, it is all you can eat for around $21.

The Verde roll. One of my favorites.
