Fuji Grill is a fast-casual Japanese teriyaki and sushi franchise founded in 2003 in Orange, California. Its corporate headquarters remain at 1515 W. Chapman Ave., Orange, CA 92868.

The franchise began offering opportunities that same year, 2003, and currently operates at least five franchised units across the U.S.
Fuji Grill specializes in Japanese-style bowls with steamed rice, fresh vegetables, grilled proteins, and its signature sauces—Fuji teriyaki and ponzu. It also offers sushi, poke, and bento selections. The brand focuses on delivering healthy quick-service dining with quality ingredients and made-to-order meals in a welcoming environment.
What sets Fuji Grill apart is its commitment to health-conscious Japanese cuisine and the use of proprietary sauces that elevate its dishes. The simple, focused menu and strong brand consistency allow it to stand out in the competitive fast-casual space.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Fuji Grill offers a detailed training program to prepare franchisees and their managers for operating the franchised business efficiently.
Fuji Grill provides franchisees with a protected territory, typically defined as a 1 to 3-mile radius around the authorized restaurant location. This territory is outlined in the franchise agreement and must be approved by Fuji Grill.
As long as the franchisee is not in default and meets their obligations, Fuji Grill will not open or license another FUJI GRILL restaurant within this designated area.
However, the protection is limited and does not prevent other franchisees from soliciting customers from within your territory, nor does it restrict your ability to accept customers from outside your area.
