Fuji Yama

The food here is usually great. The service also. I came at 7:30, with a group of 3. We knew we had more people coming but not how many. The woman in the dining room immediately demanded to know how many people we had and when we kindly requested a large booth she rudely informed us they were mopping the floor. We felt like we were a nuisance and not welcome at all.
The non-​US-​nationals are usually exceptionally welcoming but the one US-​national woman was the one that was very rude and unwelcoming. Maybe don’t come after early supper time because obviously you’d be in the way of them mopping the floor.
–a disappointed and insulted customer.

This eatery is such a good deal! Big portions with delicious food. The combination platters are enough for two people.

Fuji Yama is a sit in restaurant that seems to cater more to carry out customers, which in a town like Brevard seems to fit well for those who want to bring food with them while heading to one of the many great local parks.
Portion sizes are huge and family style dining is very easy in this laid back environment, though the interior is somewhat dated the food is still amazing.
I’ll be back again.

The shrimp sauce is what makes the meal!
Every time I’m in town, I visit Fuji Yama. It’s not a fancy Japanese steakhouse– if you come here expecting that, you’ll be disappointed. But it’s a fantastic, super-​fast place to get inexpensive, I’m sure not-​healthy, delicious food.
We always get the same thing — hibachi steak, rare — although sometimes with some extra vegetable sides. It comes with rice, meat, carrots, and mushrooms. It’s so good! You have to eat it all together with the shrimp sauce. I’ve tried replicating that shrimp sauce many times, and have never been able to get it right. If you eat there you start with a tasty miso soup.
One of my favorite things about Fuji Yama– I swear it tastes even better reheated later or the next day. Give it a try!

Actually a new cook… eaten there many times… just not sure if I am liking the food flavored change. Wait staff prompt and courteous! I will be back but will try something different!

I used to have love for Fugi Yama before I figured out how unhealthy the food was. Also, the quality of the food is probably one of the worst in Brevard. Sure the portions are big and the food is tasty but it’s almost a little scary because I honestly don’t know what I’m eating. The shrimp teriyaki a good if you must try Fugi Yama. I would definitely recommend trying a better restaurant in Brevard though if you want quality food.

Heaping portions, indeed. I ordered the vegetable hibachi, which overall, was pretty tasty. The carrots on the side, though, were mushy and didn’t pair well with the overall dish. The onion soup served upon seating was lukewarm and nothing to write home about. There are enough other places in Brevard to check out before this one!

The food may not be authentic, but it’s sure delicious and plentiful. It’s very plentiful. For about $ 7, they gave me like two pounds of take out, one 12 ounce cup of soup and an ice tea. Dang. I wanted to eat it all, but I didn’t have the room in the gas tank. The chicken teriyaki I ordered came with carrots, broccoli and rice. I ordered it and had it in my hand less than five minutes later.
The soup (actually more like broth) was good. It was chicken based, and the green onions and mushrooms floating on the surface were a nice touch, adding texture. The carrots are most like cooked carrots, sweetened and not at all crispy. The broccoli still had a bit of crunch left in it, and it was flavored with teriyaki. The bed of rice was perfectly cooked. The chicken was cut into tender medallions, flavored with the teriyaki sauce. The sauce wasn’t too overpowering.
I reiterate – it’s probably not authentic food. The dining room is Spartan. They don’t have WiFi. But who cares? Here’s a tip for purists: if you want authentic Japanese, go to Japan. If you want a good deal, come here. Again, if you want real Japanese food, buy a plane ticket, swim the Pacific, or travel to a larger city. For freaking Brevard, and for the quantity that you get, enjoy this place for the $ 7 price tag. I give it five stars – you get a large portion of tasty food (which is much more nutritious than frozen or fastfood) quickly delivered at a low price.

Yes, the portions are big, and the prices are cheap, but the food is just so-​so. If you’re looking for authentic Japanese food, this place sure isn’t the place. On the other hand, I’m from the NYC area… so perhaps this is the best you can do in Western NC. The staff was attentive and friendly.
