Fujiyama Fine Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Mansfield Township

Consistently the best! My wife and I have had sushi and sashimi from many places around the world including Japan and South Korea and Fujiyama is consistently one of the best.

Let us start with the owner. He is personable, approachable, and available every time we have dined here. He cares for each of his customers and builds relationships with those that dine frequently.

Next, the atmosphere; the attention to detail is apparent. Fujiyama is always busy, but they continue to investment money into the restaurant on improvements from the seating and tables to the uniforms of the staff. One section upstairs was just updated with custom booths, tables and chairs. They could have easily just left it the way it was, as they were still pulling a lot of customers into the place to the point there is always people waiting for tables. Another recent upgrade is the outside area near the downstairs entrance to the Hibachi restaurant. There is a beautiful outside waiting area with benches and gorgeous landscaping.

Food! oh the food! The Hibachi part is your typical hibachi style restaurant with great food and service, but I will concentrate on the upstairs restaurant. The menu is made up of mostly Japanese dishes with some Korean selections. Can't say I have tried all the items, but I have tried dozens. There is not one dish I ordered that didn't taste great with fresh and authentic ingredients. I have been lucky to eat some fabulous Japanese and Korea dishes in Japan, Korea and other parts of the world and can clearly state Fujiyama measures up with the best. Sushi and Sashimi is always fresh and portions are usually generous. As for the rolls, there are plenty of options and you will find many that will fancy your taste buds. Some are very creative combinations. For me, there is nothing better than ordering a new roll and allowing the first taste to be slow, enjoying the various textures of the ingredients and various stages of taste as the ingredients combine together in your mouth. Some of my favorites include; Angry Dragon, 4 Seasons, Playboy, Hot Pepper Lorenzer, Hurricane, Mansfield, and Dynamite.

My wife and I consider ourselves very lucky to live so close to this restaurant. OVERALL: it is a wonderful dinning experience. Normally, I don't write reviews and why promote a restaurant I love, which might make it even more busy? But, after dining here for 5 years, I can safely say it is hands down the best restaurant my wife and I...

I've been to a lot of restaurants but this one takes the gold. First off, the restaurant is split into two, the normal restaurant upstairs, and the hibachi downstairs. Having the choice between the downstairs family style hibachi, or the upstairs classy sushi bar, gives this restaurant a versitality that I haven't seen in other restaurants. And you can order from the sushi bar while you're at hibachi, or the other way around which means the ambiance is up to you. Waiting staff is mostly foreign but it honestly does not detract from the service. All my orders have come quickly and accurately and the staff does it's best to make me feel entertained and fed. Speaking of, the food is electrifying. Along with the regular common rolls, the menu is packed with special designer rolls with so many combinations that it makes my head spin looking at the menu. Yet, each roll is unique in it's own flavorful way. Not to mention it's sushi, so I don't get that nasty oily feeling afterwards. Or if sushi isn't your thing, they offer chicken, steak, filet mignon, shrimp, soups, teriyaki etc etc so there are lots of options. And let it be known that I'm not much of a seafood eater, but this Fujiyama's sushi is something else. Finally, the owners Nick and Helen. Nick is one of the goofiest men I have ever met, but he's always so kind to his guests. Not to mention his signature birthday gong special. And Helen is always running around, supporting all her workers. I've also worked at restaurants as a server and I got to say that if I had a manager like that, my serving jobs would have been a breeze.

All in all, this is an amazing restaurant. To those that haven't eaten here yet, just know that you're are...

The wife and I went out on a little trip to Hackettstown last week to visit some family, and decided to eat here for the night. Fujiyama is your average hibachi restaurant if “average” meant absolutely gut-wrenching. To start off, a woman greets my family and I and asks how many are in our party. She walks away and doesn’t return when 20 minutes later a different woman walks over to us and asks how many are in our party. Again I tell her and this time this woman sits us down. By this point my wife and I were famished and the kids were agitated and wanting food. Our chef was very awkward and obviously a beginner of some sorts. At first he was very talkative, making conversation and cracking jokes. Apparently jokes were the only thing he was good at cracking, because when it came to down to the egg trick, he messed up and became flustered. The whole table went silent after this and his conversations suddenly stopped. You can’t help but feel sorry for the guy, but he should find a profession somewhere else. Clearly being a hibachi chef is not for him. He burnt up my fried rice so badly he tried to cover it up by smothering it in soy sauce, however this made it worse. It was so salty I felt like I was swimming through the Atlantic Ocean, I wanted to vomit! I will never be able to enjoy fried rice again after this. The noodles were a bit aldente as they were cold in some parts. It felt as if I was eating a Lean Cuisine microwaveable meal, this entire meal was so extremely underwhelming. Upon arriving home, I felt sick with a stomach bug and my wife and nephew stayed up the whole night with diarrhea. I’m convinced this meal gave us covid ! A huge thumbs down. I will most certainly...
