Our Guestbook
“ Ate there for first time tonight. Got there right at 5 and the two of us were lucky to snag 2 seats with an already seated party. My wife ordered hibachi filet and I ordered the hibachi filet and chicken combo. Our chef was good at the entertainment routine. I was surprised they still do the flipping of food (fried egg here) into peoples mouths. For the fee fried rice and the lo mein both are cooked pretty plain. They add egg to fried rice and nothing to noodles. These sides do get put on plates at the same time as the veggies so I guess you can mix in your own. The add a liberal scoop of minced garlic to the melted butter of everything they cook. So I thought that made everything tasty. We enjoyed everything in the hibachi meal. As you can see from my photo, there was plenty left to take home after eating a lot. I'd say the soup and salad were both just ok. Our server was friendly and very good checking on drink refills, getting our orders in quickly and getting our check. Our room had four grills and was pretty plain. I was surprised how many kids were there, I guess that's the place to take kids for an early dinner in the area. We both liked our food and experience and will return. ”
“ We had over an hour wait, even arriving at 5:30; but it was a Friday. The food was great and service was wonderful. Our group had a good time. ”
“ We were just passing through heading to SC and had a great experience. had the Philadelphia roll which was excellent and hibachi dinners. It was bomb especially for a late dinner on a Sunday night. Also, the Mia Thai was delicious. ”
“ Thoroughly enjoyed our hibachi dinner and California roll. We chose scallops and shrimp. Scallops with fried rice, shrimp with noodles. Generous portions. The soup with mushrooms was flavorful and the salad crisp with dressing perfect. Hibachi chef was entertaining and skilled. A wonderful break from fast food while traveling. ”
“ I love Fujiyama! I usually order sushi, but this time I went with the teriyaki chicken. It definitely did not disappoint! The portions were larger than expected, and you can't beat the lunch time prices. When we walked in, the restaurant was all but empty. I was a little disappointed in the slow service considering that there were so few patrons, but overall I had a great experience with delicious food! ”
