| - Have you ever had a 35 year old Japanese man squirt sake from a plastic squeeze bottle into your mouth? Well, you just haven't lived, my friend.
The boyfriend, his mini-me and I decided to hit this place up since we were a) in the area b) starving to death and c) the little guy l-o-v-e loves hibachi. Enter, Fuji.
As you walk in you brace yourself for the worst. I mean, it's located inside of a shopping mall, so you never know. At first, the restaurant was bright, with a sushi bar and and lots of people. Then you step into a dark room with club lights. The boy said, "Hey, this place would be a cool place to play laser tag." So, yea. If that gives you any sort of indication...
We didn't get to try the sushi, and after reading some of these reviews I'm kind of sad about it. But, we did all have hibachi steak. Most any Japanese steak restaurant will give you 70% noodles and rice, 15% veggies and %15 steak. This place was no different. With the hibachi meal you got a clear broth soup and a salad. The soup was, well, a clear broth with one mushroom slice floating in it. But, surprisingly enough it had great flavor. The salad--drenched in ginger dressing and nothing special. The actual meal itself was tasty. Like most other yelpers have mentioned, it's really all about the entertainment.
And, oh boy, was our chef entertaining.
I mean, squirting sake in our mouths from across the table, entertaining. He also had this little toy figurine of a boy that "peed" out water, which he used to squirt my boyfriend's son at least 10 times. He flipped lots of miscellaneous foods in the air for us to catch and even had a horn. No, I'm not kidding. This guy was a singin' fool, too.
Overall, a pretty good experience for the mini and for us. The price was a little high, in my opinion, especially with the ratio of food, but it was certainly a trip.
