Tips for your first visit
Make the most of your visit
Make a Reservation First
Reservations are recommended, especially for groups, to ensure you get a table without any wait.
Park Around the Back
Parking is available at the back of the restaurant, so head there directly rather than searching out front.
Watch for the Entrance
The restaurant can be a little tricky to locate at first, so allow extra time to find it on your first visit.
Try the Lunch Sets
The Fuki Sushi lunch sets are a good choice if you want a little variety without having to pick individual dishes.
Ask About Vegetarian Options
The staff are happy to help you identify vegetarian-friendly dishes from the menu, so don't hesitate to ask.
Request a Tatami Room
For a more traditional Japanese dining setting, ask about availability of the Tatami rooms (Washitsu) when booking.
