New Shrine for Sushi Lovers in Brookline - Boston Globe, Alison Arnett, 8 April 1999 - suggest change
Fugakyu's Fish, Not Fowl, is Fantastic - Boston Herald, Mat Schaeffer, 29 October 1999 - suggest change
Sushi boats are nice. A full (and ambitious) Japanese menu is nicer -- and rare. - Boston Phoenix, Robert Nadeau, 14 January 1999 - suggest change
Not another teriyaki house or flashy sushi bar, this is a real Japanese restaurant offering both traditional and fusion fare. - CitySearch - suggest change

One of the Best
Fugakyu is one of the top choices for Japanese food, not just in Brookline, but in the Greater Boston area. Unlike many of the new Japanese spots, Fugakyu gives equal attention to the atmosphere and the food. The bamboo-centric decor goes far beyond the standard sushi bar, and the many small rooms allow diners to feel like they are dining in a semi-private (or, in some cases, private) restaurant. The arrangement also seems to cut the noise that is so prevalent when dining out these days. Unfortunately, the layout also seems to slow the servers, and the food, down. At times, I wondered if they remembered I was even there.

However, when the food does arrive, the taste banishes all thought of those small details. The chefs at Fugakyu do a very good job indeed. Unfortunately, although you will certainly leave full and satisfied, your wallet may seem quite a bit lighter. The food and ambiance are great -- I'm just not sure if the value is.

There's usually a wait at this incredible Japanese restaurant, but go put your name in and have cocktail hour at the bar. Largest sushi menu with the freshest fish. Lots of vegetarian items as well.    [30 Sep 2003 14:25:37]

Innovative Sushi in Beautiful Surroundings
Fugakyu is an excellent restaurant not just in Brookline/Boston; it is probably one of the best in the whole NorthEast. The owners also run a seafood distributorship, thereby guaranteeing the freshest fish for this restaurant. The cooks here are more adventurous, processing monkfish liver, for example, into a tasty mousse and presenting it in a cocktail glass along with other garnishing for effect. The seared salmon appetizer is also outstanding. Of course, there's always the wonderfully fresh and tasty sushi that is the signature of this restaurant.    [09 Jun 2006 12:36:13]
