Fugu’s Sushi & Wok

Sad to say that Fugus has closed. Tried to go there tonight and there was a sign saying they are out of business. Fugus, you will be missed. Thanks for all the years of great sushi!

They have gone out of business. We will miss them. Thanks for the Old Recipe Honey Chicken and great service Wari /​Wary.

I’ve never forgotten the Mongolian beef at Fugu’s and finally, three and a half years later, I returned for dinner. The beef was just as good as I remembered. Super tender and tastes delicious!
This time, I had a $ 35 Groupon so I ended up ordering a few extra items to try. My boyfriend had the garlic tofu, I ordered a cup of egg drop soup and we got a dish of egg fried rice to share.
The garlic tofu didn’t quite live up to my boyfriend’s expectations but despite not being as garlicky as he had hoped, he said it was okay. There were a lot of other veggies in the dish, which as a vegetarian, he enjoyed.
The egg fried rice was simple yet delicious. It was a great accompaniment to the rest of our meal and I’d order it again.
The egg drop soup, which is one of my favorite Chinese foods, wasn’t very good. It was watery and lacked flavor. I also don’t like it when the soup has veggies in it. I prefer my egg drop soup to be smooth with just egg.

Great sushi for a fair price and good service. I went on a Saturday night. It was empty and we were seated the second we walked in the door. This isn’t a fancy or romantic type of place but I didn’t expect or hope for it to be so not about to take a star off. Our waitress was very nice. We ordered the protein roll, fugu crispy roll and plain sushi on rice. It all came out very fast and at once. The sushi was very good and fresh. I drink water like a fish and she was always there for a refill. Plus the free hot sake with Unilocal check in was awesome. The check came right when we said we were finished and they took my card soon after. The only possible negative was the bathrooms could be cleaner but other than that my experience was only good. If you’re looking for affordable and good sushi without the crowds of la Jolla I definitely recommend it!

Easily the very worst sushi I have ever had! I ordered the 18-​piece sashimi for $ 28.95. First of all, several of the «18» pieces were no bigger than my thumb nail. Some were so chewy I had to spit them back. The whole plate had a strong fish smell. I thought I got the shaft for using a voucher. However, I think it didn’t make any difference. A very bad deal even after the 50% discount. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. Try Wasabi Sushi in PB. Great quality/​price.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Took the hostess 7 minutes to seat me at the empty bar. When I finally sat at the bar. I got no service. 10 minutes sitting there watching the tv. Then a couple comes in and they get seated, menus, and water. They sat right next to me. At that point I grab my jacket and keys and walk out. Total customers in the place less than 6. Total waitresses 3. Yeah never coming back here again.

Good food, always tasty. Would be 4 stars for good alone.
But man, that place needs a deep clean. My feet literally stick to the floor when I walk around. Kind of gross. 1 star for keeping it clean

Interesting specialty rolls. Had a Groupon, which required reservation, however, restaurant was nearly empty. No one to greet us even though the «please wait to be seated» sign was out. Went to the sushi bar & had great, attentive service. It’s not fancy but a good value.

I gave it five stars for the food and service. Both were excellent.
We had a voucher but were treated so graciously by our waitress.
We had three different rolls, all of which were delicious.
The restaurant is a clean, casual place for La Jolla.
I would recommend it to anyone looking for good food and service.

Walked from la jolla coves with groupon.
Not sure what to think up in walking in it was Japanese and Chinese and sushi. We ordered the general tsao chicken. We ordered it crispy. It was wonderful. I had bento chinese version with king pao chicken. Very good with chicken mushrooms and onions. Not loaded up with pepper and boc choy water Chesnut. With miso soup salad rice 4 piece California roll and edaname.
Great service great food.

I ordered delivery from these guys tonight. I was told on the phone that it would be there in 45 minutes. The food didn’t arrive for an hour and 40 minutes. I asked the driver to call his boss and ask them to give me a discount because it took an hour longer to arrive then what they promised. They offered me a four dollar discount. Obviously four dollars is a joke and it shows a lack of respect toward their customers. I let the driver take the food with him back to the restaurant as a matter of principle. The irony here is that they lost a customer without me even eating their food.

Very good! Tried because we had a Groupon. My wife and I shared potstickers, sexy sushi roll, (recommended by others on Unilocal), and Mongolian beef. Very good food especially the «Sexy roll» sushi. Will come back.

Awesome food! We used a Groupon and definitely got our money’s worth and then some!
Two of us shared: sexy roll, wor wonton soup, orange chicken and a salmon collar. Everything was fresh and tasty! For being in La Jolla, we thought their prices were very reasonable. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because service did start off a bit slow.

I really like fugus but I haven’t been in a while because I don’t live as close as I use to. When my family and I go we always get there Chinese food. I’ve tried there sushi but what I really like is the Chinese food.
What would always bug me when my sis would go with me to fugus she would always get the house fried rice. So I remember saying why do you always get that can’t you get something else. So the first time I go in a while without her. What do I get? I get the house fried rice because it really is good fried rice.
So along with the fried rice I got, wor won ton soup, potstickers and garlic chicken and broccoli. It was all really good especially the house fried rice.

Excellent! They always have great sushi good for families. The menu is extensive but simple. I will order the dragon roll again and again!

Super good! Fresh and tasty with good prices for la Jolla. Clean restaurant with great atmosphere and plenty of parking in the back. Very friendly staff too.

We went here for lunch today and took advantage of their Groupon. We started with a couple of orders of nigiri — the salmon and the yellowtail. Then we moved on to a Philadelphia roll and a small yellowtail roll. All of the fish was delicious and fresh, and their sushi rice was nicely seasoned. We also split a plate of their house fried noodles with shrimp — the noodles were chewy and delicious, though the shrimp were a little scarce. All in all it was a good lunch experience and the Groupon made it very affordable.

Eating… And drinking… By myself… Happy hour!!! :) at least I got to talk to the sushi chef… Who turned out to be the owner. Awesome and VERY SMART GUY!
Firat of all, don’t bring 15 people in and think that your food is going to come out quickly. This is a good grade sushi and they have nothing pre-​made, so even if you call ahead to make a reservation for a party, don’t order 15 rolls, salad, soup, and drinks, expecting a little homey atmosphere, quality sushi house to get your food in an hour.
I ordered the hot sake… And then another hot sake (free small check in on Unilocal!) and then the green bottle saki HATSUMAGO (a great pairing with your sushi $ 14)
Happy hour is awesome!!!
I ordered the hand roll albacore, and the protein #1… Pictures!!! So good :)
SERVICE RATING… WERY is a doll!!! Really nice chef. Hard workers. All of them :) They love what you do as long as you’re not a high-​maintenance Groupon customer. Be nice. If you’re nice, they’re nice :)

After a brief rendezvous at the beach with my friends, we decided to go downtown and grab some delicious food. This was the first place I thought of for us to tackle and we definitely left with full stomachs.
For a Saturday night, this place wasn’t very packed. The waiters and waitresses were actually really attentive to our table and did a good job in making sure we were happy.
Since I wasn’t too hungry, I went ahead and got a cup of wonton soup while my friends ordered the fugu roll, hot kiss roll, sexy roll, and dragon roll.
Wonton soup– good flavor except the veggies were a bit too raw in my opinion and NOT ENOUGH MEAT! I seriously only got a pitiful pinch of meat in each wonton. It made me sad. At least the cup of soup was cheap.
Fugu roll– I liked it! It had this interesting crumbly top.
Sexy roll– definitely not for the mild. This dish is good but wayyy too spicy for me. Then again, I have a cat tongue so I’m super sensitive to spicy foods.
Hot kiss roll– by far my favorite roll. It just has this really delicate flavor and oh, does it look really pretty.
Would I come back? I know their lunch time specials are pretty good, so maybe for lunch :)

This place is a mile away from me and I have no idea why I haven’t been here sooner. Doesn’t look like much from the outside but it’s really nice & clean inside. There is a lot to pick from on the menu. They have a lot of sushi but they also have a chinese food menu as well which is awesome. Their happy hour has $ 4-​$ 6 rolls, can’t beat that.
Will definitely be back soon.
