Fugakyu

A couple of friends came to our house on a Saturday for a “board-game day”. After playing a couple of board games, we went to the nearby Fugakyu for dinner. Fugakyu is a Japanese restaurant owned by some Taiwanese people and most of the wait staff speak Cantonese. For this reason, Fugakyu doesn’t feel as authentic as places that hire Japanese sushi chefs like Oishii.
My mom ordered the Seafood Deluxe Tempura, which is a variety of seafood dipped in light batter and deep fried. The seafood includes shrimp, scallop, salmon, crab meat, and also vegetables such as sweet potato. According to my mom, the tempura batter is a bit too thick. She did not enjoy the two pieces of shrimp tempura at all since it’s mostly batter and the shrimp inside is very small.



I ordered the Unagi Sandwich as a starter. The Unagi Sandwich is eel sandwiched between two slices of sweet potato and deep fried. The strong aroma of eel matches well with the sweet taste of the sweet potato.



My husband and I ordered a few maki's to share. Two maki's that we order every single time we go to Fugakyu are the Cherry Blossom and the Spicy Girl Roll. Cherry Blossom has salmon, avocado, and tempura crumb on the inside, which is then topped with tuna. It is topped with a wasabi mayonnaise sauce & served with seaweed salad. We like both salmon and tuna, so having both of them inside a maki is perfect. The wasabi mayonnaise is slightly spicy yet creamy. However, there is a bit too much tempura crumb. The Spicy Girl roll has fried spicy salmon on the inside, with eel and avocado on the outside. It is then topped with a spicy sauce. Surprisingly, the strong taste of fried salmon does not collide with the heavy taste of eel at all. The spicy mayonnaise adds a nice kick to this roll. This is definitely my favorite maki in Fugakyu.




We also ordered the Snowing Maki and the Crazy Maki. Snowing Maki is a tuna lover’s paradise. It has spicy tuna on the inside, which is topped with an extremely generous portion of even more spicy tuna and tobikko on top. This maki is quite spicy. Crazy Maki has shrimp tempura, avocado, and spicy mayonnaise on the inside and tobikko on the outside.



My brother-in-law ordered the Catepillar Maki and the scallop sushi.



Somehow the maki's served at Fugakyu have a Chinese style to them. Maybe there is just too much tempura crumb in the makis.
