This was immediately adjacent to our hotel, so it was a slam dunk. We arrived at 6 pm and were seated immediately. Our drink orders were quickly taken. I ordered the Dragon and the Surf and Turf rolls. My wife ordered the incredible King Hibachi. Everything came out in a reasonable time. The Dragon roll was very good, the Surf and Turf, while different was just okay. My wife's hibachi meal was absolutely great, chicken, steak, shrimp, and lobster! Wow! The staff were all terrific and took very good care of us. No disappointments! Enjoy.

I visited this restaurant for the first time on a weekday in May 2025, and had lunch. It was superb! Delicious food, good service, good music, and a very attractive interior..... and this little storefront eatery is located right there on fashionable King Street. I highly recommend Fuji Sushi on Upper King.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fuji Sushi Upper King with my family in Downtown Charleston, and I can’t say enough good things about it! The entire experience was top-notch from start to finish. We were lucky enough to have Laura W. as our server, and she was absolutely phenomenal! Her attention to detail, warm personality, and genuine care for our dining experience made it pure perfection. She made us feel welcome and ensured everything was flawless throughout the meal. Now, let’s talk about the sushi – WOW! The sushi was out of this world, easily some of the best I've ever had. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented – every bite was a delight. If you're a sushi lover, this is the place to be! We also sat on the rooftop, which added another layer of awesomeness to the evening. The views were great, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and it just had such a cool vibe overall. Whether you're looking for a laid-back dinner or a fun night out with friends, Fuji Sushi Upper King delivers in every way. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in Charleston – you won’t be disappointed!

We went in for dinner last night while we were visiting my sister and wow the food was great but our server Carter did an amazing job. He mentioned it was only his third day and you could see he was a little stressed BUT he always came back to check on us as soon as the food came out and overall gave us fantastic service. Can’t wait to come back next time we are in town. Will def be requesting him as our server.

Great food! Ramen, sushi, and hibachi on point! The Negimaki Steak with fried rice was wonderful, too! Fun speciality drinks! Staff was super nice.

We went before 5 pm, and we're greeted by a super friendly host... She asked if we wanted upstairs or downstairs. We had never been there, so we opted to see what upstairs looked like. It was half inside and had a small divider that had an outdoor section. It was pretty cold up there, but we didn't mind it. We were greeted by a super friendly server named Cody. He made us feel super welcomed and provided top-notch service. I do wish it were warmer upstairs so more guests could've met him. He was very personable and knowledgeable about the menu. The Short Rib Bao buns were fantastic and very flavorful. The miso wasn't the best I've had but still hit the spot with he colder weather. The hibachi salmon and steak were great and cooked perfectly. We also had a JoJo Roll, it was very interesting to the eye and very delicious. I would highly recommend this place for the overall atmosphere, flavors, and location.

Wanted lunch it’s 90 degrees and wanted not to eat something hot and heavy. Came here from Hyatt house across the street and this lunch was terrific. Ordered the three rolls and the specialty roll with one roll. We both had salads. The sushi rolls were really good. I had sangrias and husband had a Sapporo draft. It was nice lunch. Service was professional and both server and hostess checked on us to make sure we were enjoying our meal or if we needed anything else. I recommend this for lunch for sure. Mia was a wonderful server

The food here is really good! I’m a bit of a sushi connoisseur. We went during happy hour and the vibe was great. The sushi all tasted so good and despite being busy the food came out quickly! Fresh and delicious! The cocktails have great taste if you eat upstairs as we did they use plastic cups but still the drinks are great!
