| - Tonight was my second time going to Fuji Yama on 17th. I really want to like it due to its convenient location, but I just can't.
The first time we (boyfriend and I) went there the service was poor and there were some small quality issues. A big pet peeve of mine is when servers are slow to bring the bill or pick up payment after you have clearly stated that you are done. Our server was definitely in that category. The miso tasted off and the sushi was nothing to remember. Also, the top to the soy sauce was not secured or very full, so when it was tipped far to pour, the lid came right off and the remainder of the sauce ended up on the table.
We didn't finish our dinner (which is rare for me at a sushi place), and due to the slow service, some lady who I can imagine was a little sketched out (I am not sure why she was in there), noticed that we weren't finishing it and asked if she could have it. I had no issue giving her food that we weren't going to eat... but it was unusual to be approached like that during dinner.
The second time we went there (tonight), wasn't much better. However, our server was very nice and attentive. Unfortunately, the salmon was chewy and slightly fishy, and the rice did not seem fresh.
I find that the prices are a premium for a product that is poor. Although I can see why they need to charge so much, both times I was in there only about 20% of the tables were being used. It is a large space in prime real estate... I can't imagine they will be in business much longer unless they get crowds, which isn't going to happen with their current food.
