Teppan Fuji

I have eaten here many times over the last 8 years. Consistent very good teppenyaki and excellent value. The chef puts on a great show!

Great experience! Warmly greeted by the friendly staff. Extremely clean restaurant (including restroom).
We were there early…5 pm, so not busy. Seated right away, and server was there immediately. We were the only ones eating Teppan at the time. Several people were in the sushi area.
I had the filet mignon & scallops. My husband had the filet & shrimp. Both were excellent. The meal came with soup; a fresh, delicious salad; fried rice & fresh veggies. The chef put on a nice show.
Very enjoyable.

Good food. Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday’s are their 2 rolls for $ 10.

Wow. We absolutely loved this restaurant. We are hooked and will make this a weekly routine.
Food is awesome, service great, price right, very clean, we just couldn’t find anything we didn’t like.

I was greeted by a very grumpy old man at the entrance, I didn’t want to judge this place as yet. I ordered the vegetable sushi which was just ok as was the miso soup (I have to admit the sushi did arrive in a couple of minutes!), the hubs got a chicken teriyaki box which he said was not special. I was seated facing the kitchen and could clearly see the waitress used her HANDS to place greens in a bowl of salad, no tongs, no gloves. just her bare hands! I did complain to the owner but who knows if she made note.?I’m definitely not coming back.

Our family favorite! Anytime we don’t work on a Thursday or Friday night, we go for the 2/​$ 11 special. My 2 and 4 year old have been going here since they could eat solids and the staff is always great. The sushi is great. You don’t get tiny rolls like the other places. If you have a birthday you want to make a big deal out of, come here!

Subpar service, sushi was gummy, edamame was dry. Seriously disappointing food. The ambiance is alright but it was excessively hot. The tables were crowded so we heard everything out neighbors said. Not worth the $$.

Rude restaurant owners. Not impressed when we heard the owner instructed our waiter to «get us out» soon after food was thrown at us. Food was rushed and overly salted. My wife ordered salmon and filet mignon combination. Salmon was burned and filet was doused with salty sauce. Totally not worth the money. The cook has no skill on the teppanyaki grill. No showmanship. Simply not recommended.

Not good for sushi and especially not good for teppan. Recently went for the first time to celebrate a birthday for a friend. Party of eight and we were seated right away and orders taken quickly. Service was very fast and efficient here. Not complaining about the customer service at all in this review.
All but one of us ordered the teriyaki steak and scallop combo. Each person ordered steak to be cooked differently: well done, medium, medium rare, well, med rare, etc. Teppan chef arrived and with one burst of showman flame, he started cooking. No tricks, no banter, nothing from the chef and no more fire after that. I watched as he took everyone’s steak, sliced it and cooked all together. No separation happened with regard to the meat prep order and everyone got the same thing dumped on their plate, even the people who didn’t order the steak and scallops.
Scallops were severely undercooked, which I absolutely hate and didn’t eat but one of. The meat was bland, without flavor or seasoning, and boring with regard to what a teppan show should be.
Sushi was not any better. Poorly prepared rice, which was not seasoned, and roll contents very bland. The spicy tuna was anything but and the spider roll was just sad, lacking flavor and crunch.
Lastly, we got Teppan Fuji’s own «show» from start to finish. Before we finished eating, the cleaner came through with a bucket of water to clean the grill/​flat top. The steam of dirty cleaning water was very entertaining, I must say, and at that point I was truly finished eating here. Disgusting.
I’m glad the venture is over and done with and that I know to decline when another happening happens here. Save your money and fire up the grill at home. It will be ten times better than the food here.

For being in the mountains and not near fresh fish… This is very very good sushi.
Always pleased with the freshness, quality, taste and presentation.

I came in for lunch, i was greeted right away and shown to my table. It was nice to know that I was offered teppanyaki with out a reservation (good for future reference) service was exceptional and prompt. Food quality was delicious and fresh. Sushi rolls were of average portion (not bad) especially because the didn’t overload the roll with a lot of rice. I will be coming back! I forgot to see if they had happy hour specials.

The waiter nicely asked everyone who ordered steak how he/​she wants the steak done, so we have all the way from rare, medium rare, to medium. However the chef just stirs all steaks together and served them in random orders.
Why bother asking if they don’t care how each guest wants his steak? And I haven’t mentioned the quality of steak is sirloin chunks which looks like leftover and on sale for $ 0.99 /​lb at supermarkets.

As far as teppans go, Fuji has the swiftest service. We ate here on New Years Eve 2013 and were not disappointed. The food was delicious (mmm filet mignon) and the staff was friendly. They also had a great live musician there!
However, we did not get an elaborate chef show. I think we saw less than 5 tricks? (Tricks is what you call it, right?) This is probably because they were busy, possibly short staffed for the teppanyakis.

Very good food, only giving 4 stars because we were there on a Wednesday night and it was pretty empty, staff started getting ready to leave and our waitress left before we were done. She had someone from the kitchen come out and check us out. And we didn’t just walk in before they closed either. They close at 9 and we were there at 8 pm. Staff started leaving at about 10 to nine. I would go back, only maybe on a Friday or Saturday night and earlier. But we were traveling and we don’t live in Flagstaff.

Came here last night with the kids. Sat in the Teppan side (sushi side was really booming) food was tasty and prepared quickly (chef did a couple flair things but we had all our food fast) it was just what we needed with two hungry kids. Steak was prepared perfectly and was very tender. We’ll be back.

I came here on a date and from california the sushi here was pretty plain. They had typical sushi nothing special. It was also over priced for something you can get at the super market. I think they teppan looked really fun though. Anyways, if you’re looking for good unique sushi, this isn’t the place.

Overall terrible food and service. I rarely complain, but after being letdown with dried out chicken, a missing appetizer, mediocre sushi, and a long wait time, I find myself giving this restaurant a poor review. I requested to speak with the manager, to kindly let them know of our dissatisfaction, and received the response «there is no manager».

I had the rainbow roll and ikura (salmon roe). It was very good and I would definitely recommend these two items. However, they did not have calamari available, which was a first for me because most places do have calamari available.
As for service, it was good, but the server was not fully knowledgable on some items regarding the sushi rolls.
All in all, it was a good experience.

If I could give this place no stars I would.
I have been here at least 5 times thinking that the service was just bad that once and willing to give it another try… Last week was the LAST time I will ever visit.
Our server abandon us right after ordering and never came to check on us once. We had to ask other servers to fill up our water and fetch our sushi that had been sitting on the counter waiting for us for a solid 20 minutes before making it to our table (and
we never saw our original server the rest of the night by the way).
We asked to speak to the manager at the end of our meal and when she came over she was rude and condescending. Telling us that the service was bad because they were busy… THAT IS NOT AN EXCUSE!!! She never said sorry once or offered us free mochi or anything to turn around the awful dinning experience we just had. We were tempted to not even pay for the meal at this point, and we definitely didn’t tip them!
Stay far away from this place unless you want mediocre food and AWFUL SERVICE.
The manager should care more about her customers that keep her establishment in business.

The food was great! I’ve never had better sushi and the teppanyaki was delicious. The reasons that I am not giving five stars are that it was cold where we were sitting, the chef didn’t actually put on the show that is typically associated with teppanyaki, and it was hard to get the attention of a waitress when we needed to know if something contained peanuts (severe allergy).
The price of the sushi was surprisingly low for how good it was!
