    Plentiful selection of delectable yummy sushi and related Japanese cuisine in that take out / grocery store format, so it's great for the pop-in and out. Nice prices too! Going to make a regular outta me, as I think they have this niche in Victoria sewn up

    I'm still amazed sometimes at the places in Victoria that haven't been reviewed. Anyone who knows Fujiya loves Fujiya!

    This little Japanese grocery store has rows upon rows of takeout sushi assortments. Because it's nowhere near my homestead I'm always thrilled when I happen upon the Shelbourne area. Even better is when the boy surprises me at work with Fujiya's always fresh and seriously quality sushi.

    Average price for a roll is $4 to $5. Crazy dirt cheap I know.  5 stars for any place that makes me squeal with joy when I know I'll be devouring their edibles.

    Can you say 'food poisoning'??  I used to like this place...and I emphasize 'like'...until I was struck by the worst case of food poisoning I EVER had from eating their sushi...that's right...ill for days...thought I was dying.
    Even when I did eat there, it was nothing to write home about, trust me...anyone who knows good sushi, knows there are WAY better places to east Sushi in Victoria then Fujiya...
    They are clearly the reason I will never touch Sushi again.

    Fujiya is known for its take out sushi, but there is so much more for such a little place.  

    First off the sushi is the best "grocery store sushi" in Victoria.  It is big, tasty and extremely fresh.  They also have take out donburi, sashimi and kara-age.  The range is quite impressive and very inexpensive.

    The store also has a pretty big range of frozen fish to make your own sushi/sashimi at home as well as Japanese favourites like sanma, buri and shio-jake.  

    Big candy/senbei section and 6 or 7 difference varieties of rice.  Fresh tsukemono too.

    This place can be busy, but they have three cashiers on at times and I've seen more than a dozen in the back making sushi.  Parking can be tough, though I've been known to skooch into the BMO parking lot...my bad.

    Can ya tell I'm a fan....?

    Not the best sushi in town, but great value for the price you pay!  Everything is really reasonable between $4-$8 for rolls.  They have rice dishes as well.  My favs: salmon maki roll, yam tempura, and spicy tuna ongiri.  Their chicken karaage is decent as are their rice dishes.  I haven't been disappointed by anything I've purchased here.

    Its a good grocery store too if you're looking for random japanese products that you can't find elsewhere.

    For such a quaint market, the take away selection is quite surprising. A seriously great selection for great prices. I wish this place was local to me.

    It's my fav Sushi spot!  It's cheap, convenient, fast and delicious.  There's parking on either side of the store.   Ask for their Miso soup just behind the fridge that holds all the sushi.  If they don't have something, just ask the people preparing the sushi and they'll make it for you in double quick time.

    Lack of competition in victoria is a real problem. The Vancouver sushi places are just so much better. I also dislike the wastefulness of the place and their packaging. There is no recycling at Fujiya.
