Fujiyama Sushi & Hibachi

I went for lunch. I didn’t get a chance to thoroughly sample the sushi bar, but what I had was good. Sushi portion sizes could be larger for price, but this may have just been the lunch serving. It’s good enough that I’ll return to have dinner sometime soon. It’s clean, very modern and has a nice ambience.

This was our second visit here. Wait staff was friendly but sushi and atmosphere were lacking. This restaurant isn’t cheap and, as such, should be on top of needed repairs/​touch-​ups. Lots of chipped paint and the condition of rest rooms was less than expected (it wasn’t very busy either). I want to have confidence in a sparkling clean kitchen and food prep area but that’s difficult when the front of the house needs attention.
We ordered salmon and yellowtail rolls but it was hard to distinguish between the two. It tasted like they mixed the fish with mayo, like a chopped fish paste, which we definitely did not like. The manager came over when we asked for clarification on our rolls but pretty much acted like we were nuts for doing so. We did order one roll that had both yellow tail and salmon and each type of fish was clearly distinguishable. This just affirmed our concern about the other rolls.
I don’t think we will go back, which is bummer because we eat sushi quite often.

This is a standby for me. I have been there many times, usually for sushi but have also done hibachi with the family. The food is solidly good, not amazing but always good. My only complaint is the variation between sushi chefs. There is one, not sure who, who’s sushi is HUGE! I personally, don’t enjoy that. A little more consistency in the size of the nigiri and maki rolls would bring me in more often. On the other hand, the fish if usually fresh, I love the house soup and overall it’s a good value compared to some other local sushi restaurants.

I’ve only had the Sushi here so I can’t speak on the Hibachi. However, this is the closest spot for sushi from my residence so I have no other options unfortunately. I gave this place a 2 star because the sushi is «just okay» but this place is too pricey for the quality. If I had other options for sushi in the area believe me I would pursue those in a heartbeat! The moral of the story is, only try this place if you’re desperate for quick sushi and don’t feel like traveling elsewhere…

Went last night for dinner on Christmas Eve. The food was great. Sat on the hibachi side, but ordered several sushi rolls as well. All food was fresh and delicious!
The staff seemed friendly, but were extremely rushed. The server explained she had plans for later and needed to get going, took the check before we left the table. Shortly after her departure a man came and dumped soapy water on our hibachi grill which splashed all over our place settings. Several people in our party still had full drinks! We left promptly as they were probably about to shut the lights off on us.
Having worked in restaurants much of my life I’m very sympathetic for those working during the holidays, which is why they get 3 stars and I would likely return next year.
I realize while we were spending time with close friends and family these employees were not, so I don’t blame them. I would suggest the owner offers a special incentive for those who stay late on the holidays to make the customers experience more enjoyable.

The sushi/​fish wasn’t fresh, rice tasted dry and odd and the sushi rolls were not rolled tightly. We told the waitress, manager, and general manager how terrible the food was and still paid full price. I will never go back there or recommend them to friends or family. I’m amazed if they stay in business and anyone who eats there probably has no idea what real good sushi tastes like. Honestly I have stomach ache as I write this review. Gross. Save your 80.00 and go somewhere worthwhile. I was forced to select at least one star. I give it a negative one.

The food here was amazing! However, unfortunately only two stars because of the service. We were rushed through our meal and before our waitress took the drink order she apologized for the fact that she was going to ignore us. Our water and wine were always empty and we had to ask other staff for what we needed. I came here with my best friend I haven’t seen in awhile and we wanted to relax and enjoy our selfs. We felt like we couldn’t, we were offered boxes three times throughout our meal while we were in the middle of a bite.
Wish the service had been better because this would have been our new sushi place. Will return to try it again but might have better luck sitting at the bar.

Have had a good experience in the past but tonight the hibachi chef was horrible. We were in and and out in under 40 minutes and there was virtually no show. Usually it’s like a 90 minute event and my girls talk about it for days. I talked to the manager and she seemed mostly disinterested. She mentioned something about having all the chefs taking some kind of training. I think you should do that before putting them on the floor.
Bummer to leave a bad review, but the dinner experience coupled with apathetic management warranted it.

Been twice. Clearly hibachi is a fun concept and the kids (and adults) love it for the theatrics.
The food, nothing all wrong with the ingredients. Everything looks fresh enough. Unless you get a cook that can multi task you’ll be eating a plate of meat, than some rice or noodles and lastly some veggies. The order should be reversed.
When we’ve been there they always put somebody at the side of the table with only a view of the cook rear end. So there really is only seating for 9 and not 10. But when it gets down to it, you’ve spent close to $ 100 with tip if you’re not having cocktails. Maybe the other side of the house is better, so I may try it. But for the Hibachi side, I’ll pass.

Birthday dinner for two. Reservations made.
Horrible service. From the moment we entered the door til we left. Not enough room at the table. Orders forgotten. Steaks over cooked. Shorted two people rice. Shrimp not served… cooked at another table then brought over 20 minutes later. No jokes. No sake shots. We were in and out of there in less than an hour with two birthdays at table.
No onions. No ring of fire. Friends from out of town… Not impressed!!!
Same chef moved to next presentation and was a hit. Not a happy customer…
10 very unhappy customers!!!

The worst sushi I’ve ever had. Rolls were not tight. They used puréed fish mixed together and laid on top to make it look like fish. The nigiri eel I had fell apart when I tried to eat it with chop sticks. Sat at the sushi bar and watched kids try to be sushi chefs. They stunk at it. They couldn’t make a sushi roll if they had to. Presentation was lost completely and their rolls tasted bland and not worth the price. Talked with the manager and he took off what we didn’t eat. The sushi kids fought with him right in front of us, that was rude and unprofessional. I’m giving it one star for the manager. It was horrible

Several issues, mostly our reservation wasn’t respected
Fujiyama was recommended by a friend but we ended up disappointed. Overall it was not a terrible experience but we won’t be going back. The delays were unacceptable.
We had reservations for a party of 9 — about as many as will fit at one of their cooking tables. The restaurant simply did not go out of their way to honor the reservation. On our arrival we were asked to wait for a table, maybe 15 or 20 minutes, but then found out that the place was almost empty. Finally we were taken to our teppan table to begin another wait. In their defense they then took our order and they did bring our drinks, salads and sauces. Then we waited. We were told that they were waiting for a chef. In the meantime a chef appeared for a party that arrived after us and that was seated after us. (Later I found out by accident that they were personal friends of the seating hostess.) The affront here is that it was as if we had just walked in unexpectedly. But we had made reservations — they knew we would be there, nine of us, and to not be expecting us is just unprofessional.
The «hibachi» tables themselves are really nice, they seem pretty new. The menu was typical «Japanese Steakhouse» fare with steak, shrimp, chicken, etc., some side vegetables, fried rice if you order it, and an entertaining cooking show. The grilled ramen is a mistake, just as it is at other teppan rooms that insist on serving it — really bland and most of it was left on most of the plates at our table. Both the dipping sauces are better than average. The «steak» was of reasonable quality, the «filet» was quite good, the shrimp was of good size and the mahi mahi got rave reviews from two of us.
For the Fujiyama chefs: either practice the shrimp shoot or quit doing it. I’d say if you can shoot 50% in or pretty near a mouth then that’s fun. Or how about 1 out of 3 at an absolute minimum. When 19 out of 21 attempts (I was counting at our table) are unsuccessful it’s not fun. I’m not saying you shouldn’t do it, but I’m saying that it starts to be stupid. When a customer agrees to participate in the act he or she is assuming you can shoot straight. I know that some teppanyaki chefs can do it better than others, but based on 3 performances at 3 tables that evening (very few shrimp entered a mouth) your boys need a lot of work.
The two stars here are not for the food, which was pretty good except the noodles. The bar drinks were not bad either. The disappointment was for not respecting a reservation. When a large party makes a reservation they have expectations. A schmoozy apology to my review isn’t going to fix anything — we aren’t going to chance it at Fujiyama again. For teppanyaki we’ll choose among Miyama or Benihana or maybe check out the Volcano.

Lights on that one’s home and the doors were locked so if they can’t post decent hours nobody’s going to go there it doesn’t make me want to stop by on another day

Was in town for training and came here one night with our trainer and other coworkers for dinner. Below are my observations:
— decent layout of the place, interesting that they don’t have a giant hood over the hibachi grill but the ventilation was still taken care of without it getting too smoky
— tables are a bit crowded if they sat them full like they try to do, could def use a chair or 2 less per grill area
— service is meh, our waitress had no idea what beers were available on tap or what bottles they had, nor was she really interested in finding out
— food was pretty good and on par with most decent hibachi places, I had the filet and chicken myself and it was good, even though our cook mixed up who wanted theirs med and med rare
— cook was fairly personable, tried to be funny as they all do
— sauces were ok, although I didn’t have the regular house/​shrimp sauce
Overall, nothing really memorable for me and not a place I’d go back to even if I lived in the area.

I went here at the suggestion of a co-​worker since I’m visiting from out of town. I really wanted sushi! The setup of this restaurant is really nice — hibachi on one side, sushi on the other. It was quiet when we arrived so we were sat right away and quickly got our drinks. The server was very friendly and prompt which I always appreciate.
I ordered two rolls — dinosaur and lobster roll. Both were really good. Very large pieces though! The fish was fresh and tasty. My co-​worker got hibachi. He said it was really good — the presentation was nice.
I would def come here again and tell others to visit this place if in town!

I’ve come to like Fujiyama a lot lately for sushi days. They have a ton of different rolls as well as lunch specials and very affordable prices. I haven’t personally had any of their hibachi dishes so I can’t say how they compare with other restaurants but their sushi is always fresh and perfectly textured. I love their dynamite rolls which has spicy tuna, spicy salmon, spicy yellowtail and crunch (whatever that is). Fujiyama is my go-​to place for highlands ranch sushi.

Outstanding service from Sarah. She was knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, was prompt and attentive in her service and friendly and professional at the same time.
We dined on Gyoza, Unagi roll and a very fine Spiderman Roll as well as some Yaki Soba. All was freshly prepared and flavorfully delicious. I am now anxious to try the Hibachi side of the restaurant and will do so soon without hesitation.

Japanese food made by Chinese people. Sometimes its not a bad thing but when you’ve been surrounded by all sorts of Asian food your entire life, you can start tasting certain ingredients when you request for a cooked dish. The hibachi side just tastes like your run of the mill foods cooked in a wok. With that in mind, stick to the sushi when you come here. It is very good. Service is ok. I’m sure we’ll be back some time. The restaurant is really nice and cozy. However, the booth we were sitting at had spiders which makes us wonder about the kitchen. This place is centrally located to many other restaurants and has the potential to be 5 stars easily. We will probably be back down the road but not really at the top of the list.

I’ve only been here once and it was good good enough to leave thinking I made out better than they did.
I had the lunch special that came with two orders of sushi and a salad for less than $ 10. Normally the two orders would’ve cost $ 12. I got the spicy salmon and the spicy tuna and both were delicious. The pieces aren’t big but that was fine with me.
I’d come back. For sure.

This was our first visit for dinner using a $ 30 Double Take Deals coupon. They were located in the Lucent Target strip mall in Highlands Ranch. I was a little hesitant to order sushi after reading the Unilocal reviews, but the sushi was very good.
My husband ordered a cup of green tea ($ 1.95). The server brought out a small ceramic cup of hot water with a tea bag in it and a cast iron pot of hot water.
We ordered 4 sushi rolls. They were served on a large oval platter. The sushi was very visually appealing. Each roll had a unique shape. The server told us what everything was.
Black Dragon Roll ($ 12.75): 8 pieces of Jacky roll (chopped shrimp, crab, masago, and cucumber) topped with eel, avocado, and crunch. This was my least favorite roll. There was very little rice and the roll was a little soft.
Shrimp Tempura Roll ($ 8.25): 5 pieces of shrimp tempura, avocado, lettuce, and masago with mayo lightly drizzled with eel sauce. There were 2 large crisp warm shrimp tempura with the tails on which made the roll very large in diameter. Yum!
Salmon Skin Roll ($ 4.95): 5 pieces of salmon skin, cucumber, and scallions drizzled with eel sauce with the seaweed was on the outside. This was also a large roll. The salmon skin was crispy.
New York Roll ($ 7.25): 8 pieces of smoked salmon, cucumber, and cream cheese. The smoked salmon was very smoky. I liked the way the sushi chef stacked the roll (see photo).
I’m looking forward to returning.
