Fuji Somerville

Fuji in Somerville is another new restaurant located in the new Assembly Row Complex, and they are also participating in the Restaurant Week.

The Restaurant Lunchbox deal comes with Miso Soup, and it was pretty good. Soy sauce is delivered in a little teapot, cute.

This is absolutely the biggest Bento Box that I have ever seen. Bento Boxes are served with: White Rice, Miso Soup, Salad, Spicy Edamame, Pork Gyoza (2 pieces), Shumai (2 pieces), Sweet Potato & Zucchini Tempura (1 piece each) and Spicy Tuna Maki (3 pieces). I got broccoli tempura instead of zucchini. The shumai was crab shumai. You get three dipping sauces, one for the shumai, one for the gyoza and one for the tempura. I ordered the ribeye rare, and it was. Everything was cooked well, and the salad and the dressing were really nice. Nice mustard-based vinaigrette. The spicy Edamame was just mildly spicy but delicious anyway.

I had to take the Green Tea Tiramisu ($9) to go, but they get extra points for packaging it up very nicely. Green Tea Tiramisu served with a scoop of ice cream and mixed fruits

Interior is very nice, long sushi bar and table seating are behind the partition. Service was very good, but there was only one other table occupied. Boston Dine Out website said $20 for lunch, but I was charged $18, not complaining. Bento Boxes at lunch is normally $16 with a $2 surcharge for the rib eye, and I think that's what they charged me and then threw in the dessert, no charge. $16 for that enormous bento box isn't bad at all.
