★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1First time trying a hibachi was a bit disappointing. It’s ok price for the amount of food, around 30 bucks for chicken or tofu option and going up from there. I did not find the cook particularly engaging as i had the misfortune to be paired with a family that was not really having it and was mostly kids. But nevertheless i wish each cook did his own thing while i noticed the table next to us having the same exact show. So this would prevent me from going back another time. Also it is very very loud inside so it is not clear which vibes it wants to give off, fancy as the furniture and the cocktail prices or loud relaxed and family friendly?
September 20 · Maria CI visited Fuji for their hibachi dinner and had a good time. From the moment we were seated around the grill, the atmosphere was lively and fun — perfect for a casual night out or a special occasion. The chef was not only skilled but also entertaining, with the classic hibachi flair: flying shrimp, onion volcanoes, and a lot of laughter.The food was fresh and flavorful. I ordered the steak and shrimp combo, which was cooked to perfection right in front of us. The fried rice was especially delicious — buttery and well-seasoned — and the vegetables had just the right amount of char. Portions were generous, and everything was served piping hot.Service was friendly and efficient, and the overall experience was well-paced, without long waits between courses.If you’re in the mood for a fun, interactive dinner with solid hibachi food, Fuji hits the mark. I’d definitely go back — maybe next time for the sushi!
June 16 · Ada KiugoThe place is incredible, very beautiful, and well-organized; you are amazed starting from the porch on the street. The drink options are marvelous. The hibachi never disappoints; it is delicious and very well prepared. The staff is always friendly and kind. Highly recommend!
July 25 · Ariel NogueiraMt Fuji is amazing! First the view is stunning and the decoration at the entrance is so beautiful. Then when you enter they have a beautiful bar and the welcoming atmosphere is amazing. We reserved a hibachi table and the experience was fantastic. They first served a delicious onion soup following with a delicious salad and shrimp for appetizers. After that the Chef came and did an amazing show, singing and doing tricks with the food. All was cooked properly and it tasted amazing! I loved the ginger sauce and the chicken, but in general all food was delicious! Great place for celebration of life or any special occasion, they give the extra mile to make it a great experience. Definitely 💯 recommended!
August 12 · lisa diazWe got here for the Mt. Fuji Summer Festival and lantern event. We have not sat down for a dinner there but the Japanese street vendors were great. The restaurant is very large with multiple little waterlines and gardens and a great view of surrounding mountains. A special place!
August 09 · Kosta RicaWe were drawn in by the restaurant’s Japanese-inspired architecture, with its clean lines, wooden accents, and elegant lighting that give it a high-end, modern feel. It really is a beautiful space. However, even with a reservation, we still had to wait nearly an hour before the hibachi cooking began. As an Asian, I found the food underwhelming. The noodles, fried rice, and even the meats were all cooked in the same soy-sauce-heavy style, lacking variation or depth of flavor. Honestly, I’ve had more satisfying Japanese food from simple neighborhood spots. While I appreciated the chef’s humor and entertaining tricks, at the end of the day, a restaurant should deliver on quality cuisine. Overall, I left a bit disappointed.
