Fugu Sushi

The food here alone deserves five stars. Everything is ridiculously fresh, and prepared expertly. I had the soft shell crab, and a bento box with teriyaki salmon. The soft shell crab was better than any I’ve ever had– so perfectly crispy and juicy. The bento box was excellent as well. Also, when ordering drinks, I HIGHLY recommend the Thai iced tea. It was legitimately the BEST iced tea I have ever experienced. It ha milk in it, and comes unstirred. After giving it a quick stir though, the tea tastes almost like crème brûlée, but manages to not be too sweet to drink with savory food.
The staff was also extremely polite, and friendly, yet distant enough for me to enjoy my meal uninterrupted. The food was fairly cheaply priced as well. It was more expensive than fast food, but less pricey than most of the local restaurants. I DEFINITELY recommend giving this place a try.

Naruto roll is my favorite although it’s on the big side. Only complaint is the temperature of the rice rolls, they could be colder.

If you like a quiet atmosphere and good food, this is a good place to try. The Miso Soup is excellent! Service was fine, and they selection of rolls was good.

Yum! Met our sister and bro-​in-​law and their baby here last night. I’ve been hearing about this place but hadn’t been here yet. I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was exactly what I would have expected based on what I’ve heard about it and the signage on the outside of the building. Our server was very nice and attentive and there were tons of veg options on the menu. My husband and I split the Angel Smile roll, the King Salmon roll, the peanut avocado roll, the avocado roll (I had actually ordered the sweet potato tempura roll but I love avocado so ate what was put in front of me… hehe), avocado salad, and shared edamame, and agedashi tofu with the table. Everything tasted fantastic. I love the avocado salad. It’s very simple, but really good: iceberg lettuce with hecka avocado on top, and topped with a delicious ginger dressing. On top of that, not expensive compared to other sushi places of the same caliber and I hear they have roll specials on happy hour, so it could be even cheaper. I’ll for sure be going back!

I came in on a weeknight, and had a good experience. My server was personable, funny, and helpful. He made some great suggestions. I was dining with someone else and our server let us know that the «special rolls» were buy one, get one half price (we had decided on only three rolls), so I appreciated him letting us know.
They had a decent drink list and a few bottles of beer (I mean, I wasn’t there for the alcohol but ordered a glass of wine). It was about average compared to most other sushi joints. It was clean and the interior was nice.
Now on to the food. It was good but nothing amazing. To be fair, I’m not from here so it’s not like I can say I will be back (it was a nice experience but it would take a lot for me to drive over two hours). The fish didn’t taste old but wasn’t that fresh. None of the flavors impressed me but it was a decent meal. The Angel Kiss (it was Angel something, not exactly sure) was really good — my server suggested it and I was thankful.
Also, as I was on a work trip I really appreciated that my server tossed one roll on its own tab so I could get paid by work for it (and alcohol on another tab).

It was nice, the server made a couple of good recommendations. The price was about average for midwest sushi places. The drink list was adequate though I didn’t try any of the fancier cocktails. The server was very good, made us comfortable, helped select items, chatted a little bit and let us know that the kitchen would be closing so we could put in last minute orders if we wanted. I think his name was David. We particularly liked the angel face roll and godzilla roll. Anyhow, I’d go again if I lived in the area.

Clean, friendly, calm atmosphere. Very delicious. Surprised that they had tom yum soup. Sushi are very fresh. Thai tea was really good and sweet. Love the eel sushi. My favorite.

Love this place. Fugu roll is awesome. Service is always friendly. Great spot to catch dinner before a movie at the Marcus theater.

The rolls are a guaranteed 4 stars. I had the rainbow roll and godzilla roll. The latter was amazing. My friend had the angel smile roll which has scallops on the outside and crab on the inside. She said hers was great. The reason this place gets an extra star is due to their customer service. They were attentive and accommodating. They turned the tv to the channel we wanted. They asked if we were cold and needed to turn down the AC. They even gave us a military discount even though they said they didn’t have one. Great food, great service… five stars.

The owner is amazing, she knows us because we love the Black Pearl with the white Tuna!
The actual waitress not so much. Not so attentive. Wasn’t so happy with her!

Interior is very nice and the server was very patient with us when we couldnt decide our sushis!
We chose the fat lady roll and the sex on the beach roll!
They were both good but the sex on the beach was spicier than I anticipated since the wasibi was sprayed on top as one of the sauces…
fat lady roll is perfect for the ones who cant tolerate spice and for kids :)
I also really enjoyed their miso soup with the shrimp dumplings! I love the shrimp dumplings!

Our Thai sea food soup and spicy tuna sushi were delicious.

Every time I come here, I keep wanting it to be better and thinking it’s magically going to have changed since the last time I was there. Unfortunately, that’s just not the case.
I put them below Sakana on Broad St. Their sushi menu just isn’t as extensive, prices aren’t as low, and the food isn’t as good, the décor isn’t as nice, and there’s limited parking unless you go into the neighboring movie theater lot. Having said that, the proximity to the movie theater, and having frozen yogurt right next door are both awesome.
I will give them high marks for service. I’ve never had a bad experience from the wait staff here; they’re prompt and pleasant.

My food was incredible. I am recently allergic to shellfish (idk), and they had a ton of options for me to try. There is even a chicken roll. Thank you.
They do not offer a kids menu, but we found something for the little one to eat. We decided on Karage (their version is like a breaded popcorn chicken with a dipping sauce)…The 3 year old enjoyed it, but i felt it was dry and overcooked.
There was a bit of an language barrier, but we made it work!
Would go again… as soon as today!
Did I mention they have REAL friend ice cream? Yeah, none of that cornflake and cinnamon business. The real, really real ice cream dipped in batter and deep fried.
THANK YOU! I haven’t been able to find a place that prepares it this way in years.

Fugu Sushi is one of my favorite restaurant. I think they have the Best Sushi in town! They have fresh live Japanese Oyster, Fresh Uni and Live Jumbo Scallop; which is hard to found in other restaurant. I have been to many American and Asian restaurant, I think they have best oyster in Central Columbus even taste way better then Mitchell steak house. Compared to other Sushi restaurant around Columbus area, they have best tempura shrimp, sushi rolls, specialty rolls and sashimi. Highly recommended this place to eat Japanese Food!!!

Glad I tried this place. The miso soup was the best I have ever had. Had the bento box with teriyaki shrimp and it was very good.
We also tried the udon stir fry noodles and they were a hit! Was a little pricey for lunch but the food is really fresh and the service was fantastic.

The décor is nice and the service was good, but that’s where it stopped.
We didn’t want to drive up to northwest columbus for good sushi since it was getting late for dinner, so we tried this place out since orange leaf is next door for a nice dessert option on a hot day.
The sushi here was plain bad. The fish was served too warm, like it hadn’t been kept correctly. Not to mention the knife-​work was awful, the octopus looked like it was cut with a saw. Some pieces were cut too thick or big, others to thin or falling apart. Lacking consistency completely. The highlights were the two rolls we had, spicy tuna and their fugu roll (not actually fugu mind you, more of like lobster roll with mayo sauce). Also, one of the sashimi cuts (yellowtail or mackeral) was definitely past it’s sell by date. No food poisoning though.
Too bad, I was hoping to find acceptable sushi closer to home, but this is not it.

This place was great!!! Our waitress took time with us to explain sashimi, sushi, and rolls! We sampled a wide variety of foods and all were Delish!!! I will Definantly be back And we went on Saturday evening and the place was NOT busy at all!!!
I suggest if you want sushi in the Pickerington area you give it a try!!!

Had dinner with a friend here recently, and what a great little gem. The sushi is great, as it should be, fantastic service, and a relaxing atmosphere. I’ll be back again soon!

MMMMMMMMMMMMM… SUUUUUUUUUUUUSHI.
So gave Fugu a short based on the reviews, and super thanks to those before me!
Do you see those four and five star ratings? They’re totally spot on. I typically only get sushi here, so I’m not a good source for some of their other meal options.
Every roll we’ve received has been fresh and very well prepared. The flavor is excellent and never «fishy» which some places and sometimes lean towards. There’s quite a bit of selection, every time we stop in we’ll get our «usual’s» as well as something new and different. So far we’ve never been dissatisfied.
Service is always decent. They won’t ignore you, nor will they hover. Just the right amount of attention.
*sigh* Now I want some sushi, look what you’ve done to me.
Give it a try. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed. Sushi on, friend. Sushi on.
