Fukuda is the reason people say, "I don't like sushi". It is the reason people don't want to try new things. It's why dogs don't like cats. OK... I take the last one back. But it was pretty bad.
We went during lunch there were maybe 5 tables occupied, we waited for 5 minutes before our drink orders were taken. Then we waited another 5 minutes for 2 other people to come and re take our drink orders. Fukuda claims to be a Japanese bistro so I went with the tonkatsu box ( a pretty standard Japanese dish) Just a breaded deep fried pork cutlet and a type of Japanese Worcestershire sauce appropriately called tonkatsu sauce. 20 minutes later I was served cold tonkatsu with a cap full of tonkatsu sauce, (that tasted more like Vons brand bbq sauce ), a brownish salad that had seen better days, 3 California rolls made with a substance that was supposed to resemble fake crab, and 3 pieces of tempura (onion , yam, shrimp). The yam was delicious. The two people with me also ordered boxes one salmon box and one tonkatsu box. Friend with the salmon box actually enjoyed his salmon. We also ordered a spicy tuna roll, shrimp tempura roll and a tiger rolls, at the lunch special price of $7.95 a piece. They were mediocre at best. After 5 minutes of trying to flag our server we were treated with beverage refills ( for the first time) and our $56 dollar check.
half a star for atmosphere and half a star being consistently terrible in all areas.
