FUJI JAPAN Japanese Steakhouse and Hibachi Grill — Restaurant in Rock Hill

This was my first time visiting this hibachi place, and although the reviews say it isn't great, we gave it a chance because someone in the reviews convinced me to give it a try. Just 2 of us went in with no reservation, and we're seated right away. A party of 6 joined us, and it was for an adult b day dinner. The service was very fast....almost too fast. We ordered a sushi roll and then a hibachi dinner to share ... I went to the restroom after ordering, and 5 mins later, I returned to the cook already there and stirred the rice on the grill. Our sushi roll was there, and so were the salads along with the soup....all when I came back to the table...mere mins Anyway, i love good and quick service but this type of restaurant charges more for the experience ...so i had hoped it would be better timed....serving drinks and then the sushi, a few mins should be plenty and then the salad and soup while they cook.... This was my only complaint, which was that I felt rushed to be done from the minute we sat down. I barely finished my food when they where clearing plates....literally a bust boy with a tub taking plates...you would think for this much money that a normal server would pick up plates as they go but this guy placed his dirty dish tub on the grill in front of us and literally watched us finish the last few bites of food and then immediately took our plates. When no one was ready to give up their plate, he stood and watched us eat....as this was taking place another person squeezed by the bust boy to give me the bill. I know they have a business to run and the name of the game is turning tables over but come on now....rushing people to the point of making them feel uncomfortable is no way to run a business either. Okay, back to the good. The food was as good or better than Nakatos. The steak on the hibachi steak and shrimp combo was very tender and had nice flavor. The portions were good, and the salad was nice, but it has too much dressing, which I read was an ongoing thing in other reviews. It was drenched in dressing... The soup was really good with a lot of flavor, but I'm one that likes it really hot, and it wasn't, but that's a pretty small thing that wouldn't bother most people. Lastly, the veggies were good as far as seasoning but were very undercooked, in my opinion. The leftovers were really good today and also they did offer sweet carrots separate from the veggies but I didnt have those. Just thought someone else might want to know because everyone else seemed to like them at the table. Oh, and the 10 second saki shot given to one person at the table by the chef was cool....that was something I had never seen other places do. Our cook was nice and efficient however he was lackluster and didn't make eye contact so it was hard to understand or hear him at times. I would recommend asking for a reservation if you have more than 2 people in your party because when we left at 615pm the place was packed....this was on a...

First of all I gave this place the benefit of the doubt since it’s been in Rock Hill for a while. Mind you I normally order at another place but they had better options for sashimi. Ordering over the phone was a breeze but that’s only where this begins..... Since it was a Friday night we decided to wait a little bit longer to give them a little more time to prepare our sushi sashimi and hibachi order. I called in the order at about 7 o’clock and we arrived at about 7:40 PM When we arrived our total didn’t sound correct so I asked the woman behind the counter for a detailed receipt. Turns out she did not get down my entire order even though she read it back to me perfectly over the phone. They literally did not make half of our order. So we decided to pay for everything and go home and eat our half of order after being told we would be waiting another 40 minutes for the rest of our order. We get a phone call 15 minutes later that our order is ready. So we didn’t have to wait 40 minutes. Then once we went to pick up the rest of our order we were not offered anything to make up for our inconvenience nor were we apologized to. MIND YOU WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC When we arrived there were multiple people outside not wearing masks right outside the door. When we came inside to pick up our take-out order which they used to offer window service but they do not anymore,There were people surrounding the hibachi tables shoulder to shoulder no masks and other people were packed in like sardines in the middle of a pandemic. This immediately disgusted me and my fiancé who have been practicing social distancing since February. The doorways were not open to people coming in and out properly. There was also no one there to direct people to properly keep people 6 feet apart as the social distancing still commits in South Carolina. When I tried to leave I was bombarded by a family of six blocking the entire doorway which enabled me to leave with my food yet the hostess did not do anything to help move traffic or prevent people from coming in to keep other people safe. I strongly suggest not ordering takeout from this restaurant because they do not offer curbside assistance and basically force you to walk through crowds of people which they should not have due to how capacity should be numbered because of the...

Have eaten here 3 times so far. The first time my husband and I sat in the Hibachi side, had the steak hibachi which was was excellent - flavor, presentation, etc. 2nd time I ordered us steak hibachi to go. Was still very good, but not as much meat in the to-go as at the hibachi table so that was disappointing. 3rd time we sat on the regular dining side & my husband had the steak hibachi but it was flavorless and was served w 2 pieces of shrimp which he's allergic to, very little vegetables, and most of the plate was rice AND noodles. I had the American Dream roll sushi and it's supposed to come with tuna, white tuna, and crab- listed in that order but it was mostly crab (imitation crab at that). For $13.48, this did not make me happy. There was hardly any tuna in the roll and what I could see was ground up, not a piece of sashimi as you'd expect. Very very disappointing. Also had the frozen strawberry margarita which tasted pretty good but it wasn't blended enough bc all the little chunks of ice got stuck in the straw making it difficult to drink. I couldn't taste the tequila in it and didnt feel it had any. Also they leave the yum yum sauce sitting out on the table (all day it seems?) -a big turn off. Its not the sort of thing you leave out and my hubby wouldn't touch it tho he loves that stuff. I'd recommend they serve it as needed to tables like they do w hibachi instead of leaving it out. Overall i think if you sit in the hibachi side you get taken better care of but if you're in regular dining or order take out, they skimp on things. Just my overall impression. We would give it another shot but if it disappoints again we'd try somewhere...
