Fuji Hibachi & Sushi — Restaurant in Cookeville

Updated review 2022- so we did give this place another chance after continuing to only hear praise about it. So glad we did! All the problems from the first time have not resurfaced and there's been no other issues since. We always order to-go because they're packed but the food is ready for us fast and always right. I love that you can order and pay through their website. Also their fried rice is the best. Since moving here I cannot stand the version of fried rice at all the Chinese places we've tried, Fuji does it really well and I wish they'd teach other places how to do it right lol.

Original review 2021-I'm so sad. My husband and I both got sick the day after eating here. The order was ready fast which was great, but the lid wasn't on the soup right so it spilled all over in my car. The rolls weren't anything spectacular, tasted nice, and we tried one of the cooked rolls but the fish was waaaay over done. There were little bones in the eel too. So not a great eating experience, but there were leftovers so I was happy... until I woke up the next morning. I guess there's a chance we'd try again in the future, it's too bad it happened our first visit but I don't see many other reviewers with the same complaint so maybe it was an off night. Definitely going to try the other sushi places around town...

So this is how things change i returned several different times I had a 5 star review but that all changed this day 2-18-24 it was awful experience it was cold i wanted a deep fried sushi she brought a fried shrimp inside with cold rice on the outside She said i can try it i said what if i dont like it needless to say she took the sushi and i never got any the shrimp was very fishy tasting in my chicken hibachi tea wasnt good like bfor no towels in the bathroom to dry ur hands i spoke to the lady at the register i ask her if it had changed hands she said no but then said what did u get she looled and said yes they make it different and it sure wasnt good we had to wait for 30 mins to eat and 5-10 mins to pay i was explaining to her my experience but ppl were all around it got embarrassing there was a line so I just said could I have a bag i won't be back so many better places than here i ate a few bites of mine and got a to go box for the chickens they should have gave me a refund but they didn't even ask my husband ate his tho but he agreed it was different and not as good it was $49.63 what a waste of my money we live in lafollette and try to come at least 3 -4 times a year thank gosh we don't...

Fuji has been a favorite of mine for about 4 years, but they may have lost me today. I had a spicy crab meat/avocado salad and a roll…everything seemed just a tad off.

Additionally: The bathroom was filthy. The moment I opened the door the aroma hit me. No, someone hadn’t just filled the pot…this was the smell of a bathroom that hadn’t been cleaned in quite a while. The smell of urine was almost overbearing.

My sushi roll wasn’t fresh. I don’t know how long it was made in advance, but the waitress brought it back to the table in literally a couple of minutes. All in all it was okay, but it wasn’t up to par.

The ginger was rancid. I’ve never had ginger that bad…period. It wasn’t just poor quality, it was spoiled.

Get your act together guys. I’ve been eating there long enough and regularly enough that several of the waitresses know what I want as soon as they see me, but you’ll only get one more chance after this. I’ve noticed a gradual decline in overall quality over the past couple of years. Today was...
