| - I walked by Fuzen and noticed it was a quaint, well-lit, unassuming place. I was in the mood for sushi and they had good reviews, so I decided to give it a whirl. I'll try to temper my review with the fact that it was a Tuesday and after 8p, so maybe they were a bit "off."
The sushi itself was decent. It was slightly less than fresh, but perhaps that was due to it being the end of the day. I ordered one of those sushi/sashimi combos and it was reasonably priced. The size of the sushi and sashimi was about average and the variety in that combo not so diverse (mostly salmon with only 1 tuna nigiri). However, they did give you miso soup, a small salad, and a sample of their crunchy noodle soup which helped to pass the time while you waited for your sushi.
If I had one true complaint, it was about the service. It was inattentive and distracted. They had a number of take-out orders, so the staff was preoccupied with filling those. I had to flag down the waitress a couple of times just for a refill of my water. Perhaps that was due to it being the end of the evening, but the service was still disappointing. Overall, Fuzen was satisfying: I'd give Fuzhen 3.5 stars for creating a comfortable space with a decent selection of sushi and Japanese foods. I'll give them another try because maybe it was an "off" night.
