Oshokujidokoro Fujitei - Kurunjang

Definitely a premium place to have Japanese food. Premium sashimi, definitely worth it. Beef tatami, you won’t get it anywhere else. Great environment for two.

Will come back for:<br/ Sashimi<br/ Spider roll<br/ Black cod<br/ <br/ Came here on a Saturday night for dinner, and had a lovely time. The sashimi was the highlight for me (fresh, well treated, and melt in your mouth). We also ordered an assortment of yakitori, and although nice was on the pricey side for what you get. The tempura moriawase was good but I felt the batter could be crunchier. The spider roll was delicious though (textural, tasty and moorish). And the black cod with the miso paste was deliciously flakey and fresh. Service was excellent and the place had a great vibe and full of locals. Price is on the fine dining end, but the place was cosy and reminded me of the eateries in Japan. A good Japanese option in this area.

Real rating 4.25 <br/ <br/ We had visited Fujitei for dinner and we had such a wonderful experience!<br/ <br/ We were served with a variety of wonderful dishes such as beef tataki, scallops, sashimi and yakitori! The sashimi was super fresh and of high quality and the yakitori was grilled well on the flame making the meat extra tender and juicy!<br/ <br/ It was an impressive night at Fujitei and we would love to visit them again!

Fujitei is an authentic Japanese restaurant in St Kilda. It is a neighbourhood gem, run by passionate chefs who are driven to serve classic Japanese cuisine. We were invited to try their menu, and really loved the relaxed, warm atmosphere and beautifully made dishes. This inside out maki roll $20) was filled with lots of tuna and salmon, coated with crispy tempura and topped with salmon caviar. I love that the simple fresh flavours of the raw fish gave the roll richness and creaminess, rather than the usual over the top mayonaise/sauce that you find in a lot of maki dishes. I really loved the tempura bits and the pop of caviar too. Super yum. A great dish to share!

Overall score: 19/25 or <br/ in 5 words: good Japanese food and cocktails!<br/ <br/ Taste two things on the menu I would highly recommend would be the aptly named yuzu heaven cocktail and sashimi. Vodka and organic yuzu extract really complement each other well YUM. Would have ordered more but don’t wanna be that tipsy woman in a classy Jap restaurant. 
 <br/ Ambience This is a small but beautifully decorated Japanese restaurant and izakaya
 <br/ Price The cost including alcohol would be $40 and above per person, depending on how hungry you are. Pretty standard. We ordered quite a lot and left pretty stuffed and satisfied. 
 <br/ Presentation Love how dishes were presented at this place. 
 <br/ Service Staff were friendly and patient during the ordering process.
