Fuji Restaurant
Fuji is an exceptional Japanese restaurant in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, known for its warm and friendly staff, signature dishes, and remarkable dining experience. The restaurant offers a perfect blend of quality and value, despite its higher price point. Their tuna carpaccio and eel nigiri are favorites among patrons. The service is attentive, ensuring a satisfying pace of dining. While the online menu could be improved with photos and ingredient lists, the physical menu offers a comprehensive selection. Fuji stands out for its excellence in cuisine, service, and ambiance, making it a must-visit destination for lovers of innovative Japanese cuisine.
Fuji was the first Japanese restaurant that opened in Spain and all Japanese people I’ve met talk wonders about it though it’s pretty small and gets full pretty fast!
If you like Japanese food I tried recently fuji, and it was quite decent.
For me #1 El Bento Japonés and #2 Fuji Restaurant.

218 Sushi Bar
Defying skepticism, this unassuming restaurant surprises with meticulous attention to dietary needs, an extensive range of vegetarian options devoid of salmon or tuna, and a harmonious blend of taste and affordability. Catering to allergies and gluten sensitivities through transparent allergen listings, the restaurant’s commitment to inclusivity shines. Amidst simple surroundings, the focus remains on the flavors, creating a refreshing juxtaposition with lavish decor.

While decor suggestions abound, the core of 218 Sushi Bar’s success lies in its dedication to exceptional flavors, thoughtful service, and a commitment to offering a unique culinary journey for all.
218 Sushi Bar was definitely a good choice, though I’m pretty sure Japanese people would look at it like the Italians look at pizza Hawaii. Super nice service also.
218 Sushi Bar has American style (saucy/lots going on) sushi if you like that. They have regular rolls/nigiri/sashimi as well. All good. They have outdoor seating also!
218 Sushi Bar (close to the Mercado del Puerto) is amazing.

Other sushi restaurant recommendations in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
I’m not saying it’s the best, but my favourite sushi is Sushi Store in CC Las Ramblas.
Samurai II is a good sushi place, I’ve been here quite a bit. I oscillate between this and Shintori II. Shintori has a few makis that I like that Samurai doesn’t, but Samurai looks nicer as a restaurant. Shintori feels a bit like a cantine. Both good places. I’d say Samurai probably better.
