| - Went last Friday with Groupon in hand. I haven't been to this Japanese Restaurant, since it was Kyoto 17.
I made my reservation before coming, as per the guidelines on the Groupon. I also stipulated to the girl who took my reservation that I was using a Groupon.
First off I'd like to add the girl who answered the phone wasn't super friendly, nor was she rude. I just found her to be abrupt.
I arrived @ 6:30 p.m. and I told the lady at reception, that I had a reservation. She immediately asked for my Groupon. I said to her, oh you want it now ? Normally I would present it at the end when asking for the bill.
Whatever, we were seated and the proceeded to order. The gentleman serving us, was efficient, and took our drink order plus appetizers.
We ordered the following. Tamago sushi (NOT good here), the Battleship roll, (good), unagi or eel (good).
We also ordered beef Yakisoba, which was a good sized portion and tasted good. The chicken katsu curry (good), as well.
The waiter, was right on with keeping our drinks topped off.
We ordered $80.00 worth of food, since I had a Groupon worth that much.
In conclusion, would I return to Fujiyama's. I might if I was in the area. It seems like there are so many Japanese restaurants opening these days, and it's hard to find one with authentic flavors.
I try and stick to ones that are still operated by Japanese people themselves.
To me its like going to a Korean restaurant run by chinese.
It may have good food, but it's just not as good as if a Korean person were to make it. The flavor can be off just a little.
A good example of this, is Teriyaki sauce. I get it sometimes on food, and for some reason it's been salty and runny. True teriyaki, should be a thicker sweeter taste.
