Master Critic Review
Fushimi
8.2
A sleek Japanese spot with a heated outdoor patio that’s explicitly dog-friendly, built for cocktails, shareable starters, and crowd-pleaser sushi. Order omakase-adjacent—chef selections plus a couple focused plates—to keep the meal tight and avoid a table full of novelty-roll noise.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chef’s selections (sushi/sashimi set), Chicken teriyaki, Surf and turf

What makes it special: Heated, dog-friendly patio with modern sushi-and-cocktails energy.
Who should go: Sushi nights that want vibe and photos
When to visit: Early seating for calmer pacing
What to order: Chef’s set, a focused starter, one signature roll
Insider tip: Do chef picks + two starters; skip stacking giant roll orders.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; manageable early but gets tight after 6pm, especially on weekends. No valet.
Dress code: Smart casual to dressy-casual—jeans are fine, but the room skews polished and photo-forward.
Noise level: Moderate—energetic but controlled; you can hold a conversation without shouting.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation, shorter if you arrive early.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—vegetable rolls, avocado-based sushi, salads, and several cooked starters.
Vegan options: Limited but workable—simple veggie rolls and salads; confirm sauces with staff.
Gluten-free options: Yes with guidance—sashimi, some rolls, and rice-based dishes work; request gluten-free soy sauce.
Best For
Better for: Patio dining with dogs, cocktails, and a sleek, Instagram-ready sushi experience in Bay Ridge.
Skip if: You want a quiet, traditional sushi counter or a deep, fish-only omakase focus—choose a more classic spot instead.
