| - I was hungry and my eyes had grown glossy from starvation. We had been driving in search of a particular restaurant, only to find out it had closed down. I was hungry. We drove past Fukuda and decided to give it a go. The waiter mentioned they had just started offering an All-You-Can-Eat Sushi option ($19.95/lunch or $25.95/dinner) the day before. Did I mention I was starving? After a quick peek of the menu, I was easily sold.
It was slow when we walked in for an early dinner, and we were the only ones seated at the sushi bar. After a slow start, our sushi chef (Steve) kept our plates filled. What makes Fukuda a bit unique about their all-you-can-eat is that they offer sashimi! Yes, it's one of those things you can only order once and so we did. They offer Spicy Tuna Sashimi, Spicy Albacore Sashimi, and Spicy Salmon Sashimi. What makes it spicy is the thinly sliced jalapenos, a dot of Sriracha sauce, and one other sauce they put on top of it. Amaebi is also the one other thing that is a one time only, and it comes with the deep-fried heads too.
Appetizers we indulged in included the Baked Green Mussels, Shrimp Tempura and Soft Shell Crab (we got three orders!). For nigiri, we had their Super White Tuna, Hotate, Masago with Uzura, Ikura, Saba, and Hamachi. The Big F had two of their Salmon Skin Hand Rolls because Steve made their so enticingly good. I made the mistake of getting the Lobster Roll. I misunderstood and that it wasn't baked, but it was. In the description, it's listed as "Shrimp Tempura, avocado, cucumber and lobster on top." However, it was filled with that crab mixture that I despise. So blah on that one. Other interestingly named rolls that we didn't get to try include Ugly Roll, Red Rock Roll, Green Valley Roll, and Dancing Eel. There are a bunch of other rolls not included in the all-you-can-eat, including I Love Your Ass Roll, Monkey Brain Roll, and Flying Dragon Roll.
For dessert, choices include green tea or vanilla ice cream and mochi ice cream in Kona, mango, green tea, and strawberry. The Big F really liked their Kona mochi, while I tried their mango, green tea, and strawberry. The green tea one was a bit old, and I had to tell the waiter about it. He apologized about it, and it really was no big deal.
Service was okay. With us sitting at the sushi bar, we got our food pretty quickly. They were good about clearing our plates and making sure the Big F's soda was refilled. However, I had to ask the waitress to refill my tea cup every single time (four times). I should have just asked for my own pot.
Fukuda is a pretty large restaurant with teppanyaki available should you so desire. Apparently, many of their customers were asking about all-you-can-eat, so that's why they added it to their menu. They also have a full bar available too. Nonetheless, we were impressed because they offered sashimi and soft shell crab appetizer. Let's see how long it lasts!
Update! 09.13.08 - The Big F called to ask something about their All-You-Can-Eat Sushi special and they discontinued it as of a couple of days ago! Haha! We knew it wouldn't last long!
