Fujinoya, a charming Japanese restaurant located in Hartsdale, NY, has garnered a delightful reputation among locals seeking authentic cuisine in a cozy setting. Diners rave about the speedy service and the friendliness of the staff, making each visit feel welcoming. The interior, adorned with charming decor, enhances the dining experience, though the intimate seating arrangement may feel a bit snug. Highlighting the menu, patrons praise the sushi for its freshness and perfect rice-to-protein ratio, particularly larger rolls and sashimi that deliver exceptional value. The Agedashi tofu stands out for its umami-rich flavor and gratifying texture, while the Tonkatsu and tempura dishes are also favorites among guests. However, opinions on the ramen are mixed; some found the Shoyu version lacking depth. Value is a recurring theme in reviews, with affordable options like bento boxes and various noodle dishes drawing praise. As one customer noted, Fujinoya is an ideal spot for casual dining, especially on a weekday when you can beat the weekend rush. Overall, Fujinoya offers a satisfying array of Japanese dishes, making it a must-visit for sushi lovers and casual diners alike.

A nice quiet Japanese restaurant. Super quick service and friendly staff. The food came out quick and it was delicious. Can’t wait to come back again and try their other menu dishes.

One of the finest places to eat sushi in Westchester. A former fire station, the seating is a bit close-up, but the sushi is always fresh and well prepared. The proportion ma between rice and protein is alway excellent. The uni is perfect. I highly recommend this place!

A cozy local spot that is fantastic for Japanese food, especially reasonably priced sashimi and rolls! The interior is lovingly decorated from the ceiling (parasols are hanging downwards) to the screens between tables, but note that dining space is limited. We went on a weekend evening right before 7pm and there was no wait along with ample parking spots. By 8pm, there were people in the waiting area and only one parking spot. I would recommend arriving for dinner on a weekday from 5-7pm to enjoy their dinner bento boxes, which are only available for dine-in. Very friendly staff who gladly served us tonkatsu as an appetizer (off-menu) instead of a main dish when asked. Our food arrived within 15 minutes and we particularly enjoyed the sashimi, which was fresh and generously thick for the price (less than 30 for an assorted plate with 10 pieces). A surprise star of our meal was the agedashi (deep-fried tofu) at 9.50 which was packed with umami and a palatable texture. We unfortunately would not recommend the shoyu ramen (15) as the soup flavor was too light for our tastes with rather dry pork chashu lacking the oomph we expected and noodles that did not live up to the usual springiness of ramen. Fortunately, there are other dishes to enjoy, such as the takoyaki (octopus balls - 9.50) and rice bowls. We will be back to try out more rolls and other appetizers! I recommend visiting this place if you crave affordable, delicious Japanese food in a casual dine-in setting.

Food and service were good! Didn’t get photos of everything. Really good sushi. Reasonable pricing and decent portion sizes. Would recommend.

This is the best unique and traditional 100% Japanese Food. Love the Miso Soup and Dragon Roll is the best ever. Jose is very good waiter and very welcoming atmosphere with cozy feeling to the place. Every time I come here I feel like I am back in Japan visiting. Will be coming back once again.

Haven’t been here for a while due to the pandemic. But I’m back to relive all the great food I’ve had for a long time. The ramen is authentic. The bento lunch boxes are delicious. The service is good and attentive. Good selection of sake. You can also get sushi from the small sushi bar.

Great Japanese restaurant offering more than sushi. Every dish we had was very tasty and the service was excellent. Small restaurant, doesn’t take reservations, well worth a visit
