    We love FuGaKyu both as an eat-in and delivery experience. Eating there is better - you have the full range of dishes to choose from, including specials, everything is super fresh (very important for sushi), and the setting is very pleasant (even when there are a lot of people). We have always had excellent sushi here, and their maki rolls are creatively inspired. But there are so many other dishes that are really delicious. Their eggplant and eel creations are among our faves. Just look at the ingredients, choose what appeals to you (take a chance on things you may not have tried!), and enjoy. One more thing: ecologically speaking, when you eat there, there is no packaging waste you have to recycle or throw away.

    We moved away from Boston a couple of years ago so took advantage of a recent trip to revisit Fugakyu. It was always one of our favorites when we lived in the area and the return visit only confirmed this. The food was wonderful - from the spicy seafood salad to the maki (baked salmon, spicy tuna, and crazy maki were all terrific!). The service was attentive but not overbearing. Overall a wonderful evening and great meal. We will definitely return whenever we can and highly recommend it!

    I've been to Fugakyu many times and this was by far the worst. In particular, the chicken teriyaki was very tough --really inedible. We mentioned to the waitress who kind of shrugged it off. I had a guest from out of town and this was embarrassing.

    Great service. The place gives authentic japanese vibes. Went for Valentine’s Day and they included a flower waiting for us at the table. Incredibly varied menu and high quality food.

    The food is good, but I don’t like that they limit only 90 mins per table while require a minimum $75/person in the booth, which is quite a lot of food for 4 persons. We’re totally fine with that as we will order many dishes anyway. We ordered like 4 maki, 3 entrees and bunches of appetizers to share. Food comes quick, but this is not the place for grab and go. 90 mins? Really?

    Fugakyu was excellent as always! Love the brown rice option for sushi, the garlic edamame is yummy and the Agedashi tofu is great. Would love to see more tofu options for some dishes,
