| - This was our first visit to Fuji Grill and Buffet on Saturday at about 6:30 p.m. We entered into a long corridor and to a counter/desk where we waited to be seated. There were about a 1/2 dozen customers there and after a few minutes of confusion, we were told we had to pay before being seated. I was taken aback by that, but we paid. After ushering us into a spacious dining room, the server took our drink orders. I looked around and noted that the dining area appeared slightly dirty, mostly the floor. CNN was on a TV monitor up near the front window. I detest CNN and didn't want to watch politics. I wanted to relax and forget all of that but it was right there in my face.
As we made our way to the buffet area, I first passed the soup station, where placed next to the soup pots, was a FULL BUSPAN OF DIRTY DISHES. I swear, if we hadn't already paid, I would have insisted on leaving. But I was with hubby and he's more forgiving of such things in a restaurant. The buffet area is large and has a big selection of choices from seafood to prime rib to American choices such as pizza and potato skins. I love prime rib but it looked dried out and customers had chopped away at it rendering it a tough piece of meat. Why it wasn't already carved up is a mystery to me.
For this review, I'm only commenting on the food I ate since I didn't pay a lot of attention to hubby's plates. I chose some sushi first. Decent selection, but not as nice as Kumo's across the street. I ate the sushi and it was slightly above room temperature. Not chilled as it should be and that made me nervous. I then ate some coconut shrimp, clams in black bean sauce, dim sum, mei fun noodles, fried chicken wings and shrimp. All of those were tasty except the dim sum had a slightly strange taste that I didn't like.
I avoided the dessert section because most of it was boxed, frozen-then-thawed sweets. There was some fruit but I have that at home so I wasn't interested.
As we were winding up and digesting the meal, I watched some of the action in the restaurant. Two servers were clearing a nearby table and one of them wiped the table with a wet cloth, then wiped down the chair seats, and then WIPED OFF THE TABLE AGAIN. OMG, I was so shocked that she did that. People's derrières were firmly planted on those seats and if you saw some of the customers, you would understand my reaction. That sealed my initial decision to never frequent this restaurant again.
Exactly 24 hours after we ate the food at Fuji, I experienced, ahem, shall I say, intestinal issues that are still with me this Monday morning. After I conferred with hubby, he said he had issues as well that presented on late Saturday night.
Overall, I will not return to Fuji. Kumo is a much cleaner restaurant and the sushi is fresher tasting. And in the more than two dozen times I've been there, I've never had intestinal issues either.
