  • "This was our first time at Fujiyama's we had a marvelous time. The food was amazing, everything cooked to perfection. Our waitress was on top of her game that night she was very efficient and friendly. We were lucky enough to have Ray as our chef, very funny man. we will recommend to all our friends '"

  • "There were birthdays being celebrated and that's fine but when the guests start to use foul language and are asked not to stop that's uncalled for. There were children in this restaurant also at the time. In fact there was a little girl at our table who was only 6. Maybe the staff needs some training on how to handle guest like that.. We also noticed other sections food starting to be cooked before ours even though we were there before them. One of the patrons asked one of the bus boys when our turn was and he was rude and basically blew him off. This might of been because our cook was busy "partying" with the one table, such as drinking with them. That's just not right and then to get a lousy show."

  • "Have read tons of reviews and most say the same rhing i feel. The food was amazing and the chef was super friendly and entertaining but we were here for several hours just to eat."

  • "Everything was great after we got seated. We arrived about ten minutes before our 7:30 reservation and expected some delay because it was Valentine's day. We did not expect to wait nearly 45 minutes just to be seated. It kind of defeated the purpose of making a reservation. (We have dined at this type of restaurant before and our wait time was far less)? Our waitress, Amanda was friendly and efficient and our chef Lynn was highly skilled and entertaining. We would recommend this restaurant for special occasions."

  • "I was not sure if this would be a good venue for conversation with our dinner companions, but it turned out to be perfect. Although the chef and other parties were at the same grill, we were seated in a way that we could easily carryon our own conversation. The waiter was interactive, but not too intrusive."
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "We enjoyed the dinner experience. Very long wait, even with reservations. Once seated, our party of 10 had a great time. The chefs are entertaining and the food tastes excellent. They were very kind to create a special dish in the back for a food allergy. I would recommend this restaurant as long as you have patience to wait for a seat and good with community dining. The "dinner show" is a fun experience."

  • "We had a reservation for 5 at 630. We were finally seated at 8. 15 minutes to get our drinks. My food came out (all of it) before our table saw the chef, by the time he arrived I was done with my food."

  • "The food was great, the service was great. However our cook wasn't as entertaining as we are use to when we go there!"

  • "Overall we had an enjoyable evening. Service was great, show was great, food was wonderful. The fried bananas however were not good first bunch was frozen, they brought us more, still cold inside and bitter. Won't order them again. But everything else was fabulous!"

  • "I didn't have a clue what I was walking into when I made our Valentines dinner reservations here... i really liked it, the food was great but it just all happened too fast... I didn't like the speed with which everything took place... For a romantic dinner it is not a good choice. for just fun it's fine."
    Dined on 2/12/2014
  • "The chef was fun and engaging and put on a good show. The lobster was awful, over cooked horribly salty (to much teriyaki?) Our dinners were supposed to come with desert but the waitress skipped us, but gave it to another couple that was seated with us. We didn't notice until we were talking about dinner on the way home. I would go again but would order with much more care."

  • "As with Japanese restaurants, the entertainment is watching the chefs prepare your food. It is very exciting."

  • "We had a very large group of almost 25 total and they were more than happy to accommodate us! We had 2 chefs...one was unbelievably funny, charming, entertaining and just plain awesome cook! The other was just as good of a chef but not quite as entertaining. Wait staff was fairly attentive, the only flaw was having to ask for drink refills a couple of times, but it may have been the large group that affected them! Overall, great experience, but they are not very well physically equipped to handle parties over 20! The chef Christian is AMAZING!!! We love him!!"
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "We were fortunate to sit at a table with an entertaining and funny chef. He also displayed his cooking talents & cooked a great meal! After the chef was done serving the food and bid good evening, another chef started at the other end with his customers and he was not entertaining at all from the looks of it. There is lots of food to eat. FYI - if you order the couples meal, you save $6.00 as it comes with fried rice. If you each choose a separate order, fried rice is optional at $3.00 extra."

  • "It was my wife's birthday and our anniversary so this was a very special day for us. You did a simply wonderful job in all. I thank you so very much. Not a single thing thing went wrong. I loved seeing such a big smile on my wife. You did it for me. THANKS and we will be back and with friends!!!"

  • "Overall great experience. Staff was excellent and the food was great. Price is a little high so would recommend for special occasions. First Japanese Steakhouse I have been to where the fried rice requires an additional charge but still satisfied with the experience."

  • "half hour wait on a reservation? yeah not even cool. Chef was nice guy and food was ok but the wait was not acceptable. No fries for a kids chicken finger? Paid 650 for a few nuggets and bowl of rice? Yeah not a gonna happen again for like maybe never."

  • "Chef was funny and did really good, but food was really bland and the meat dry, kids menu over priced, kids don't even get fried rice, unless you pay extra.regular menu really pricy for what you get."

  • "We go for the entertaining of the chef...didn't happen this trip. He was non talkative and did not entertain. Food was fine."
    Dined on 12/25/2013
  • "Our Hibachi Chef, Ken, was fantastic. The food was great, but he made the evening unforgettable. Our children, six and eight, came with us for the first time and can't stop talking about it. Our eight year old asked if he could have his birthday party there. Highly recommended for a fun, unique experience. Enjoy."
    Dined on 12/24/2013
  • "The food was very good and the sauces make it better. The banter and jokes of the chefs was fun and seems to be an integral part of the experience of going here. You don't just get some really good food, you also get an experience. I think you can find Japanese restaurants with similar food quality and portions, but I thought the chefs were really the entertainment value you CAN'T get elsewhere and that makes it great for special occasssions or just when you're having a bad day and want to treat yourself to something fun. Sometimes you just are not having the best day or week and you want to have something fun happen to you. I thought it was fun to go and it was cheaper than a movie these days!"

  • "I took my entire management team to dinner. While I've visited Japanese grills before, I had never been to Fujiyama. I wanted my team to be entertained and to be able to celebrate the holidays. We were rewarded on both counts! Our chef was engaging and professional and very funny. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere provided a great place to laugh and enjoy each other's company. Very successful celebration."

  • "Took the Mrs. to lunch at 2PM. We ordered off of the lunch menu. Had two drinks each. The bill (before tip) was $95 and change. We were charged for the dinner prices. Normally I would have questioned the pricing, but it was our 24th anniversary and didn't want to end it on a bad note so I ate the cost. I also gave the cook a $20.00 cash tip, before I knew about the dinner pricing. With the bill, cooks tip and the tip I left for the wait staff I was out $135.00 for lunch. That being said, service was fabulous, food was excellent and the service was second to none. We really enjoyed ourselves and truly feel that the staff worked hard to make sure we were comfortable. Thank you to the Staff!"

  • "This place isn't long for survival with making patrons wait and hour for the chef to show up! Worst dining experience I've had in a long while!!"

  • "I came here for my birthday because I love the food and the service is always amazing. I was not dissapointed. The only thing I could say was bad was when the chef lit rhe onion tower on fire then slid the pieces across rhe grill and some oil flew from the onion and got on me and the person sitting next to me. We were fina and it was no big deal though."

  • "We had dinner here with friends before we left for Georgia. Loved the food and atmosphere. We have been here a few times before and this time the chef at the table was not as showy as the others we have had in the past. He went straight to getting dinner done and then was gone. But there was another one a few tables down so I believe that my whole table was watching him."
    Dined on 11/17/2013
  • "We will give this restaurant another try at some future time because we had better experiences in the past. However, our most recent experience was generally poor in every area except the food itself. The food was good. The server tried, the chef/performer tried and both did a decent job, but the kitchen and wait staff direction were generally in complete disarray. The facility is a little tired, the waitstaff needs training, the kitchen needs a head chef/facilitator (dishes served late or not at all), there is a crying need for a REAL manager. The whole expensive fiasco, especially on a Saturday night, was embarrassing for everyone."

    Dined on 10/27/2013
  • "We have been to this place before and have been bringing new people to here regularly. It is a little expensive but it is dinner and a show... UNLESS you come in the evening when there is a prom or homecoming going on. Then you get rushed in and out. The chefs do their best but they have to hurry through cooking it and don't have time to make feel like a show. It was very disappointing this time because we brought someone new who wasn't impressed. This isn't the first time we have had people not be impressed because we came during a "peak" time. I was unaware it was a homecoming weekend or I would have gone somewhere else."
    Dined on 10/26/2013
  • "I think this is a good place to eat if you have your own group to occupy the seats around the grill. Not everyone you are seated with mixes well, especially if you are seated with a family with small children. I did request that we be seated with other adults with my reservation, but that didn't happen. The problem was that when we checked in with the hostess, she said it would be a few minutes and we told her that we were going to sit in the bar. Well, we were forgotten, and had to remind the hostess and were seated about 20 minutes after our reservation time, thus the reason for the "fair" rating for service."
