The food here is pretty good though you can get better Korean food elsewhere. The sushi here is among the best in Nairobi and the place is fun and lively on the weekends. I believe it's the only restaurant in Nairobi that has a teppan grill.

Visited this restaurant twice for lunch. First visit had tepenyaki.my friend and I had a very lively and helpful chef who made sure we were comfortable. The combination of chicken, seafood and beef was excellent. The vegetables were made almost to perfection. During this lunch date the waiter was also very nice. A few weeks ago paid a 2nd visit,...

by Sam: 7th Grade Fura Sato is a strongly beloved Japanese restaurant that will render diners surprised. The sushi served makes mouths water. My advice to anyone that hasn’t gone yet: go ASAP.

I've now eaten here a few times in the past couple of months and have found the quality to be the best I've had in Africa. The butter fish and salmon are exceptional; tuna with avocado salad extraordinary, and service is first rate. There's a hibachi area as well that I haven't tried yet.

I had visited Furusato several time 2012 and they seem they are getting better with time. They used to serve the wrong items, rude waiters and when ordering for take always it would take forever to be delivered. But with time they have really improved and I would recommend it.

We had a nice meal here. My colleagues were not as adventurous eaters as I am and we all shared food, so I wasn't able to be as adventurous as I would have liked, but what we had was good quality.

Very good place to go to with a crowd and have fun with friends but the cuisine is rather disappointing and not up to a proper japanese restaurant.
