   We had a reservation at 7:30 and we weren’t sat until 45 minutes later. Overall dinner took 3 hours from the time we arrived to when we left. The dinner itself was about an hour with the other 2 hours spent there waiting to be sat, our server, food, everything. There were a bunch of employees standing around yet the service was so slow, barely were offered refills, and then they charged 20% gratuity for a party of 6 and unfortunately it wasn’t deserved due to the experience. Food was “fine” but will not be back.

   We arrived at 7:20 for our 7:30 hibachi reservation for 3. At 8 we asked how much longer we would be waiting and were told there were still 2 tables to be seated. We were seated at 8:20 at a table for 8 with 9 chairs. We decided that we did not want to spend over $100 crammed into a table that was too small after waiting over an hour so we left.

   Super disappointed with the menu changes. They have basically substituted the hibachi dinner shrimp with broccoli and carrots, and fried rice is now included. Not a fan of the broccoli and carrots at all, so requested our meals without. The teriyaki chicken tasted different, as well as the fried rice. Different sauce used maybe? Definitely not as good as it has always been. They even took away their mints at the door. Been coming to Fujiyama for 30+ years, and not sure if we will come back. At least not until we've tried other hibachi restaurants first.

   Hi John! Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your loyalty over the past 30+ years. We understand that menu changes can be disappointing, especially when they affect items you’ve come to love. With food allergies becoming more prevalent, we’ve adjusted our menu for safety and consistency while making portion sizes larger to ensure value. We recognize rising operational costs and are dedicated to supporting our nearly 100 local staff members. These updates, along with those costs, prompted necessary changes to maintain the quality you expect from us. We’re sorry if your recent experience fell short, and we’d love the opportunity to make it right. Please let us know when you plan to visit again, and we’ll do our best to ensure a great experience. We look forward to welcoming you back!

   We came to celebrate my husband's birthday. It was a little noisy but great all in all. our chef was awesome we have been here several times, and he was the best we have had so far. This is the first time we got a sparkling pineapple for a birthday celebration. Nice touch!!

   Everyone used to receive shrimp with their order, they took that away to give you broccoli and carrots mixed with the other vegetables. The new sauce is not good, its to sweet and thick. The filet was a terrible cut for all 4 people who got it. The sirloin was actually the best cut of meat. Definitely not worth the price anymore.
   

   Fujiyama Steak House of JapanResponded on November 17, 2024

   Thank you for your feedback! We understand the menu changes, like replacing the shrimp appetizer, can be disappointing. These adjustments were made for consistency and larger portion sizes. These adjustments were made with food allergies and consistency in mind, along with an effort to offer larger portion sizes. We’d also like to clarify that our sauce recipe hasn’t changed. We recognize rising operational costs and are dedicated to supporting our nearly 100 local staff members. These updates, along with those costs, prompted necessary changes to maintain the quality you expect from us. We’re sorry the filet didn’t meet expectations but are glad you enjoyed the sirloin. We’d love the chance to ensure a better experience on your next visit. Thank you for your support!

   Haven’t been to Fujiyama in over 20 years. The place was much nicer than I remembered it to be and the food was even better. We love Hibachi and I don’t know why we haven’t been back for so long, but it is now back in the radar.

   Hi Jonathan! Thank you so much for your kind words and for coming back after 20 years! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the ambiance and food. We’ve worked hard to stabilize the quality of our dishes, and it means a lot to know you noticed. We’re also excited to share that we’re planning to open a new location around Greenwood hopefully next year. It’s going to have an even nicer ambiance, and we’re sure you’ll love it! Thank you for your support, and we look forward to serving you again soon!

    Had a reservation and we were sat promptly and the host staff greeted us kindly. Server came to the table and got drinks for everyone and then took everyone’s order. Chef started making food and told my wife the Geisha no longer comes with shrimp….so we paid $6 more than teriyaki chicken for two more bites of chicken?? For this reason I cannot give a five star for value, or food either. We will come back, but I will be confirming that the description on the menu is accurate. Honestly, our waitress should’ve said something about this when she ordered, but maybe there was a mistake made somewhere along the way? Who knows, who cares, it’s $6 so I’m not gonna make a case about it…but just confirm there is good info going out when you order!
