Mt Fuji Japanese Restaurant

My friend and I went here Saturday for lunch. We both ended up with food poisoning. We both had the same salads and shared a piece of cheesecake. I also had the shrimp Udon. My food poisoning was much worse than hers.

This place is the bomb. We came with 5 newbies to hibachi and they all loved it. Our chef was amazing. The entertainment is as wonderful as the food. We look forward to coming back every chance we get.

The food is delicious and the quality fairly consistent. I have only had 1 disappointing meal there recently at lunchtime, where it tasted and appeared that our lunch was microwaved and served (vegetables not freshly cooked, soft and mushy, as was the rice). Have never had that experience here, and I will admit that we have hesitated to return since. However, that was an exception rather than a rule, so we will return soon and hope not to have a similar experience.
We mostly dine on the «table side» but have done the hibachi several times. The hibachi is very good — pretty much the same as any other hibachi grill we’ve ever had — plenty of food and always tasty.
The sushi made fresh is always enjoyable and tasty — my personal favorite is the Pink Lady, but love the spicier ones as well.
Regarding the service, it’s hot and cold. They always appear to want to get you in and out, so towards the end of our meals we frequently feel rushed to pay and leave.

Excellent service and even better food. My son was being a kid and not listening and they were nothing but sweet to us. They are great nice and LOVELY. The atmosphere is so pleasant and relaxing. Definitely returning.

This is your typical Hibachi Japanese grill, with a sushi bar on the side. I will review only the Hibachi part, not having tried the sushi. My wife and I are part of a large group of friends who travel to the Finger Lakes on vacation once a year, and this restaurant has become a traditional stop for one last dinner before heading home. Frankly, if it were only up to me, I’d skip it. But it’s one night a year, so I can deal. The food is nothing extraordinary, and considering the price, it ought to be. The Hibachi «show» is less entertaining than some others I’ve seen, with the cook (s) engaging in very little banter or showmanship. One thing that did not irk me, but upset one member of our party is that the gratuity is added to the bill. Some people prefer to make their own decision about how much to leave on the tab. This didn’t bother me. What does bother me is that for the cost, the food isn’t better. My wife and I could probably make meal of tempura if given the choice between that and the Hibachi grilled chicken and shrimp.

I took my daughter and best friend to dinner tonight, there was one large party in the hibachi area and a few other tables throughout the restaurant but it wasn’t exactly busy. We waited 11 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us even after the hostess and a waitress walked by. After we were seated several «wrong» things happened:
1. The waitress came and took our drink order, then the hostess came and took it then a different waitress finally brought our drinks and took our order 15 minutes after we were seated.
2. The waitress gave our apps to another table, realized her mistake, took them off that table and served them to us… ew.
3. She dropped my chopsticks and picked them back up and gave them to me instead of giving me a new pair… ew again.
4. She vaccuumed all around our booth as we ate, mind you it was only 6:30.
5. After our food came we did not see the waitress again until she brought the bill after we were done eating. All three of our drinks were empty.
I will say that the meal was very good, extremely fresh and very flavorful. I had maki rolls and J ordered the sushi sashimi combo and we split it. My daughter had the shrimp teriyaki kids dinner and we each had a shirley temple. For apps we ordered edamame and shumai, our bill was $ 68 and change.
We will go again but only for lunches at the sushi bar.

Ok, this is tricky.
I read the mixed reviews. Usually when I read mixed reviews on Unilocal,I usually give benefit of doubt and try the place.
The Naruro roll was an excellent change of pace for me. Try it if you like cucumber since it is wrapped in cucumber instead of rice. I also had the yellowtail sushi dinner which was good. They don’t give a small piece of fish as sushi.
I love sushi and I could put it away.
The staff was friendly and courteous.
Now, your going to ask me why I have such a low rating…
Well, because they have their political beliefs out in open. This should never happen in any place of business.
I’m watching millions of people out of work due to Obamacare. I’m in the healthcare profession and it scares me to death. But these people boldly place Obamacare propaganda on the checkout counter for all to see.
Count me out of returning to a place of business that’s trying to put me out of business.

I can do without hibachi, however, I can’t really do without my occasional sushi fix and this is one of the few (if not only) places in the area that offer it «fresh», so needless to say, I went… And hated it. The options for maki rolls are rather limited and the sushi was rather pricey. Their miso soup was salty and their tempura ice cream was just a ball of ice cream deep fried in dough that was entirely too thick and soggy. Additionally, the salad that comes with many of their meals was swimming in dressing.
And the hibachi «show» wasn’t all that entertaining. Spend your money elsewhere… Like at Wegmans for sushi. It’s cheaper and tastier.

Just had lunch here. The cook for the hibachi table was very rude and the taste was not good either. Won’t recommend it to any friends.

Pretty pleased with this place. I liked that you can order anything — hibachi or sushi at your dinner table without having to sit around the hibachi stations. Their sushi is good but they don’t offer too many interesting rolls or cool sushi combinations. However, they will let you substitute or add things to their rolls which is nice.

Sushi is great, Hibachi is great … Only downside is that they charge for refills.

Horrible, Horrible, over priced sushi. I ordered a spicy roll that was looked liked it was on a diet it was so thin! The sushi maker filled it with fillers like crunchy crumbs, minced Salmon, and a small sliver of Tuna! I also ordered a sea weed salad that was horrible! Imagine a bowl of green rubber bands. My husband opted for a California roll and it was as basic & tasteless as it possibly could be. The waitress was dry, pushy & understanding her was impossible. Don’t waste your money our time at this place!

Not a whole lot of options for Sushi in this area. The sushi is decent and priced about right compared to other sushi restaurants I’ve been too. I will have to try the grill section next time I’m there, looked very entertaining. Waitresses have been very kind every time I came there.

I took a chance this week and came back here after two bad experiences on our first two visits. Previously, the service was awful and the food was just OK. This time the service was great and the sushi was very good. They were quick, attentive and had greatly improved the quality of their fish and the overall presentation. The sake options are also improved, which is a nice bonus. We will definitely go back and I am now able to recommend this restaurant.

This has been a very disappointing experience.
1. Food is so-​so, and doesn’t match the pleasant (with qualification) ambiance.
2. The ambiance is very inconsistent with what you expect of a Jap restaurant. Nice, but the style is just wrong.
3. Service was slovenly. Wait staff were inattentive, and placed plates/​glasses on table very sloppily each time they served up dishes. They are clearly poorly trained and have no interest in their work.
Nothing too abominable happened, but this is clearly a poorly run ship. One look and you know it is not run by Japanese staff (but by other Asians) — nothing ethnocentric here but it hurts to see Japanese cuisine represented so poorly by non-​Japanese proprietors/​staff. I’ve seen much more heart and much better food in hole-​in-​wall establishments.
This is an embarrassment to the profession of restaurateurs /​servers everywhere, and I would visit again only if desperately hungry.

The food was delicious, but that is not the only reason we spend so much money eating out… it is for the whole experience. The waitress’ English was awful. She was unable to tell us the brand of reisling, but for good Japanese food – who cares, right? However, we asked how the gyoza is prepared that comes with the combo box lunch, and she said steamed, but then fried and we said okay. She brought a plate of yummy steamed gyoza, and it wasn’t until we received our boxes that we realized there was fried gyoza in there. So we had to pay for both! Also, she brought my friend the wrong box combo, but never came to see if everything was okay so we had to flag down the hostess to fix our order. The worst part is that we were unable to tell a manager of our experience because they couldn’t understand us!

Excellent, fresh sushi with creative specialty rolls. The main restaurant has the whole Japanese steakhouse kitsch going on for the diners who don’t know any better, but skip that and sit at the sushi bar.

Really good food that is inline with most hibachi places Ive ate at
