Mal and I went out to dinner with our friends Jon and Rose last night. It was fun catching up with them and enjoying a delicious sushi meal!
For dinner, we went to Fuji 1564, which is one of my favorite sushi places in all of Boston… well, just south of Boston. Here’s my first review of Fuji 1564.
Decor
Fuji’s decor is modern and funky with bright, lively colors and stylish, yet simple furniture. A long bar extends the length of the restaurant, and opens up into a dining area and sushi bar at the back.
Dinner and Drinks
We started dinner with a round of cocktails. I ordered a dirty martini with olives, which honestly wasn’t that great. I didn’t finish it.
As an appetizer, the table split an order of Tempura-Style White Fish, lightly battered stripped bass served with a citrus sauce.
I love tempura, especially on veggies, but I wasn’t sure how tempura would taste on white fish. It ended up being excellent– flavorful, moist, and only lightly battered in tempura. Sometimes there can be too much tempura, which is sort of gross, but the fish was perfectly battered!
Last night, Fuji had a special on “Party Platters,” which were 26 of pieces of maki and sashimi from a pre-set menu. Roll substitutions were allowed as long as they were the same price, so the “party platter” option narrowed-down the choices for us, but at the same time, allowed us to try some new kinds of sushi that we may have not selected otherwise.

My favorite rolls of the evening: spicy tuna and caterpillar (eel roll covered with avocado and drizzled with unagi sauce).
Double daters after dinner…

FUJI!!! I love fuji.
Spicy tuna is WAY too spicy for me, my fave is yellow tail. that platter looks delish.
I love dirty martini’s as well – but I hate when they aren’t made well

I haven’t been to Fuji 1564 yet, but Oishii Sushi in Chestnut is great. Although because it is so small off-peak times are the best.
OMG that looks SO GOOD! I could go for some sushi right now!
I got a dirty martini at Black Bear in Hoboken once and the girl poured in half the bottle of olive juice. Big mistake.
Our best couple friends are named Jon and Rose! Weird
What a great night!
The catepillar roll sounds awesome – love eel in my sushi!

I adore sushi, but there is literally no where to get it here unless you feel like driving 4-5 hours each way on the Trans-Canada highway. I make my own sometimes though. Not quite the same but it’s good.
You and Mal make such a cute couple, and so do your friends!
