Mt Fuji

While the atmosphere at Castle Rock’s Mt. Fuji isn’t any more or less than you’d expect at any larger-​city sushi pad, the fish is quite fresh. Sit at the bar, order some nice toro and put it down with a big Kirin Ichiban.

Two roll lunch special with soup and salad under $ 10. Eel cucumber & spicy crunch tuna rolls –always a favorite. Sweet potato rolls & salads like creamy squid with mas-​ago (fish eggs) or sunomo (octopus)&even the seaweed wakame are also great. I never come for dinner. The sweet deals at lunch are too good ! I do lunch here often. The cool air conditioning and brewed tea refilled often by anyone On staff. Such a nice «break «always. They also offer hibachi knife show dinners and yakatori, tempura and bento boxes. They have alcohol& happy hour.

We have lived here for almost 2 years now, and this is the only sushi place in town that we will go. Each time we have visited it has been a positive experience. The most recent visit was a take-​out order. They were kind, efficient, and engaged me in conversation as I waited for my food. The waitstaff all seemed very friendly and were very knowledgeable of the different sushi rolls. My order was delivered to me quickly and it tasted awesome.
It is difficult to find good sushi in a landlocked state, but I am glad that I found this place. I haven’t tried their happy hour sushi yet, but it is on my list.

Awful experience with food, service and management compared to other locations.

Weve been going here for 10 years. Ambiance sucks. Sushi is great. Service is hit and miss. Habachi is great for little kids. Port Washington roll is a fav of our.

Ok. Ready to defy logic? Your going to love this review if your thinking about stopping by during happy hour. Read on. Mt Fuji advertises a great happy hour. Half price drinks, buy 2 special sushi rolls get 1 free, $ 3 apps, and buy an adult hibachi and get a kids hibachi for $.99. Sounds great right? Here’s where it gets weird. I’ve had dinner at this restaurant several times and on any other day would generally recommend it. Not the greatest sushi on the planet, but for Castle Rock, not bad. Hibachi also. But at happy hour, they show their true colors. We took the kids at the tail end of happy hour and ordered 3 special rolls (1 should be free) and 2 adult hibachi meals so the kids could get one for .99. Crazy right? Well, they tell us we can only use one coupon. To which I respond, uhhhh. We aren’t using a coupon, it’s the happy hour special advertised on your window outside, on table tents, etc. Nonetheless, they insist I am not able to use 2 happy hour specials at one table. My logical retort inquired into how this works if I bring colleagues in for the half price drinks. Can I only get 1? They of course say no. So I ask can I get the $ 3 app and a ½ price drink. Well yes they say. So can I order the sushi and hibachi specials when I come with a large party. No! Ok. I’m confused, so we left to grace another restaurant with our apparently outlandish requests. :) Consequently, they lost a rather large and regular customer due to their illogical and unpredictable subjective pricing. Good thing we discovered this before we got the check. Hope you benefit also. Be advised.

This was our first time to Mt Fuji. This location is in a shopping center plaza. The décor is a little disappointing. It’s very old and kind of tired looking. My dish and soda glass were both dirty, pretty gross!
That said, the show was entertaining, our chef was funny and engaging. The food was awesome and everyone received large portions.
In the end, I will go back. I can overlook the décor because the food was great.

This place is very up and down — maybe depending on who the chefs are — but right now (¹⁄₁₅), it’s excellent! Better than the sushi we get in Denver. We’re going to go back regularly, for as long as it stays this good!

We lost a lot of love for this place over the last year. Tip: if you are looking for an entertaining night of hibachi, you will totally be happy overall. The hibachi chefs are great. If you are really into sushi, I would skip this place. Super overpriced for what you are getting, I highly suggest NOT getting the spicy scallop roll because this is one of those places that fill it with Panko crumbs so they can skimp on the scallop filling and still charge a lot. Sushimi is sometimes rubbery. The service on a busy night is really frustrating. We’ve gone on an anniversary night and get dirty looks because we aren’t throwing our food down pig trough style and enjoying our night together. They want you to get in then GET OUT. We’ve moved over to Fontana sushi which is close and never been disappointed in any of these areas.

We love Mr Fuji!!! We have gone here since it opened! Consistently great at food! Great lunch specials!

I’ve eaten here a couple time and I think its great! About average sushi prices and the presentation is really cool with fun sauce art on the plates, and we got free edemame for an app… overall I will definitely eat here again

This is a less formal Benihana-​type restaurant. You can dine in and order from a menu, but I highly recommend eating at the hibachi grill. You are entertained – seeing the very talented chefs prepare and cut up the food and cook it right before your eyes with no lack of fanfare. It is a fun experience, and the food is really delicious!
ps – order the friend rice… it is THE BEST fried rice I’ve ever had!

The sushi is ok– but they need to read directions! I’ve ordered online a couple times, and there’s an option to put in specific directions about each item. And everytime, they never read it. It makes me wonder about what they do in the kitchen, if they can’t read what I need in my order. It’s been wrong every time. Unfortunately, it’s one of the few sushi places close. So, I’ll have to be going somewhere else for my take out.

Stopped going here because it was going a down hill. They have improved. The service was excellent. They have an extensive Sushi and Sashimi menu but I dont do raw fish. Had the Tonkatshua, rice, California roll, miso soup, crab cheese wontons and salad with ginger dressing. Everything was great. May make it a regular lunch place again.

The sushi is still great at least for colorado what more could you ask for. A few months ago I would not say the same about it but now they really have their stuff together. Everything is good and everyone’s nice. I would defiantly recommend eating here.

First off, we ordered take out and a large number of items from across the menu.
The sushi was OK, nothing mind blowing but the prices will make you think otherwise.
The chicken teriyaki was under cooked and still pink in the middle. Needless to say, I ended up finishing the cooking at home. My pregnant wife decided to skip the chicken.
The Bento A box was again just OK and the beef teriyaki was at a medium rare, which is fine if it wasn’t ordered well done. And for a thin steak like that, it would be hard to cook steak like that and get a med rare.
It is hard to believe that a kitchen like this can’t use a probe thermometer to check meat. Now it makes me wonder what else is going on in the back? I only all because this is not the end of the problems. The salads that came with the meals were just iceberg lettuce, a green tomato and a thin cucumber. Oh yeah, the lettuce was frozen and brown… looked like it was cut and boxed a couple days ago.
For the total on the bill and what we received, we easily got robbed on this visit. These type of places are a dime a dozen, let this one die and save your money for some enjoyable food.

I was hesitant to eat here based on the rating, but I found the Habachi to be quite good. The salad was ok and the soup was so-​so but the actual dinner was good. Do not order any drinks except beer as the portions are small but all in all it was tasty. ‘Nuf said.

With only one other option for sushi in Castle Rock this place works. They have a killer lunch deal. I got a ton for the price. The salad dressing is KILLER. It is ginger and it is amazing. Like bottle it up and sell it amazing. In the shrimp tempura lunch meal it comes with two shrimp. But before the meal they give you free edemame too. WOW. nice touch. The only thing is they are overstaffed. How often do you complain about that? So the servers all stand by the bar and just stare at the tables. A little over the top, need to give a little breathing room there. Just because I was seated right next to them so it was a tad uncomfortable. Very friendly though.

Once again, Mt. Fuji is trying to STEAL from customers.
The prices on the check will not match your sushi checklist sheet. They try to excuse it with «oh, but that isn’t our new menu» and act like you should have known. Well, I never SAW the new menu. I put the number of rolls next to the name and price on your checklist. We were charged 20% more per roll. I wouldn’t ‘make a fuss over this, generally, but the same thing happened over two months ago. I am confident that it happens to everyone who comes in there and orders sushi. I told them «If I walk out without paying you, I am stealing from you. When you charge me more for your items then advertised, you are stealing from me!»
The tempura appetizer and Hondado roll were both very good, but the salmon, spicy tuna, and eel/​avocado rolls were meh. The server was quick with the green tea refills and considerate enough to not reach past us, but go to the other side of the table to pour tea.

Check out the bento box for lunch — get the tempura. AMAZING.
They’re stepped up their teppan-​yaki game. Except they call it hibachi… which isn’t really the correct word.
I would suggest sitting in the room furthest from the door, the table heights are better. The ones on the other room are uncomfortably high… evening 6’3″ husband felt awkward.
