1 /5 Jessica: I planned this meal for sons 23rd birthday while he was in town as Ive heard so many people rave about Fujiyama. I did my research, looked on their website for open times and at the menu. Imagine my surprise and disappointment when we walked in today and were told they dont do hibatchi tables during lunch hours. Ive now spent 10 more minutes scouring their page to see where I missed that memo, seems that I didnt.
So, lets move on, the food. It sucked. RUN! Seriously! I just dropped $100 which I saved up months for to be able to afford this meal to be in and out in 40 minutes and fed crap. No part of it was cooked hibatchi style. Most disappointing was the rice with sauce dumped on it and mixed around. The ginger sauce tasted sweet, looked like French dressing with a touch of ginger dumped in. We work hard and spend responsibly so eating out is special to us and Im very careful about places I choose. I should have known from the location, look of the building and parking lot to run. There is a trash can outside with tons of trash dumped beside it. Yes, I regret not taking a photo now to post. Ive never written a negative review before but I dont want anyone else to experience what I just did.
The atmosphere was cold and dark. I felt like I was in a morgue. But wait, the Price is Right was playing on the television in the room. Please tell me who has normalized tvs playing everywhere? Would I ever return? Absolutely not! Dont waste your time and just go to Benihana and pay the few extra dollars.
