I place a lot of orders to go here and the food is always perfect. One day I look forward to eating at the restaurant because it looks gorgeous and has a great bar.

It's a quiet big restraunt almost on the edge of the city. The interior is exquisite, perfectly styled in Japanese spirit, with several rooms including hibachi room where you can behold a performance of professional chefs and observe your food is being cooked in front of you (haven't experienced it yet, need to). The prices are moderate. The food was very good nd authentic as I could assume (didn't eat much this time, only harumaki egg rolls). Taro milk tea was very good, in a solid plastic cup (gonna recycle it). The water was served in nice metal cups, cutlery and branded napkins were also very nice. It's s a new place for repeated visits!

This is the third time we have been there and we love it. The entrees are good, and you get a lot of food for the price. The sushi is high quality too, and the price is fairly standard, but their specialty is the hibachi. Everything is cooked to your preference right there in front of you and it is super delicious. For the amount of food you get the price is excellent. The staff is always very friendly and the place is very clean and has a great atmosphere. It is one of our family's favorite places for special occasions.

We eat here several times a year. We just order off the menu. We don't do the show anymore. It was always fun. We have just done it several times. Food, atmosphere and service is always excellent

Great Japanese food with excellent service! We had the appetizer of Crab Rangoon that was tasty. Our main courses for my wife was the Beef Fried Rice and for me, a New York Roll and a Spicy Salmon Roll. Very good!!

The atmosphere is inviting and very comfortable. It is so clean and tidy. Not overcrowded but just enough patrons spaced apart. The food is delicious. This is "a must at" restaurant. The staff was very friendly , attentive and courteous. Great customer service. I received a birthday surprise after dinner. The waitress brought out a round pastry filled with vanilla ice cream.

What a great find! We were traveling in the area and happened to pop into Fujiyama with hopes of great hibachi and we weren't disappointed. What a great experience! First, the team is wonderful overall, and our chef was a perfect combination of funny/friendly and professional. The food, INCREDIBLE! We highly recommend and the price...holy wow! We pay triple for the same experience up north. Definitely worth it, we hope to stop in again when we are back in town. Highly recommend!

Hostess Ashley was super sweet and friendly! I love everything about this Fujiyama. Service, food, and overall feel of the place is enjoyable. This is my “go to” place for sushi.
