Excellent place for fresh, authentic, and traditional sushi, as well as Japanese-style food and drinks. The restaurant is cozy and features a Japanese-inspired design that creates a great atmosphere. Despite its location and unassuming exterior, it’s a pleasant surprise once you step inside.

Fujisan is the shining star of Japanese cuisine in the Imperial Valley, really the best sushi El Centro had to offer. This unassuming abode from the outside may not attract the eye, but the inside is quite updated to a modern, intimate, and clean dining space. From the friendly staff you are greet with first thing when you step inside this humble abode, to their extensive menu of tempura meal combos, udon, and sushi. The owner, Wesley, and his staff are extremely hard at work to give you a relaxed dining experience. I personally like trying their salmon maki rolls and bluefin tuna belly nigiri. However, the cuts of fish and fat content may not be the same with each visit. Still worthy of checking out.

Ordered the Pork Katsu and it was delicioooous. The cutlet was beautifully seasoned and perfectly crispy, the rice was PERFECTION and the curry had a little kick and soooo flavorful. The ambiance is relaxing and welcoming.

Best restaurant in el centro! Can’t get any better Japanese food near. Quality of the sushi and food was legit and authentic. Amazing and pleasing bar! High quality and lots of Japanese sake choices (felt i like I was actually in Japan !) If you are just driving by or local and craving some Japanese food this is your place, you won’t regret it! Service is also so friendly and genuine. They also take their own time to explain where everything is sourced and how to eat authentically! Chef had mad skills! ! He knows what he’s doing, so talented !!They also make homemade desserts (so good)! Definitely recommend the coffee ice cream and the red wine ice cream was strong (careful if you’re driving lol). If you have a big party tho place an order in advance!

Went with three of my friends yesterday, the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was great and all is Japanese owned and imported. The fish tasted amazingly, and the food couldn't get any more authentic. I don't normally leave reviews of restaurants, but I really felt like going the extra mile. Excellent service and wonderful staff, would definitely go again.

This is my favorite restaurant in the entire Valley. The food is exquisite, authentic, and fresh. I have a big fear of getting food poisoning, especially from seafood --- I won't eat seafood or raw fish anywhere else in the Valley because no establishment comes close to the level of quality Fujisan consistently delivers. The owner, Wesley, is always kind and welcoming. I love their seasonal desserts and sake selection. My spouse and I love it here and hope for many more years of Fujisan!

Have been multiple times and have never been disappointed with the quality and taste. This is the only place in all of the Imperial Valley that does sushi correctly and authentically. The prices are more than fair given the freshness of the ingredients and thought put into the dishes. My top pick has been the bluefin box sushi.
