Fu of Kyoto — Restaurant in South Carolina

Alright folks, gather ‘round and listen to a tale of epic flavor. The other night, the head chef of our household—a.k.a. the missus—gave me a hall pass from grill duty. I loaded the team into the family dad mobile, and set a course for a place of legend right here in Taylors: FUJI of Tokyo. Right off the bat, my son, a budding comedian, looks at the sign and asks me, “Dad, can you say something funny about FU?” I looked that boy square in his eyes, put on my most serious face, and said, “F me? no, FU!” The entire table groaned in unison. Let me tell you, my work was done before the onion volcano was even lit. This place isn't just dinner; it’s dinner and a show! These hibachi chefs are part cook, part magician, and part stand-up comedian. They’re slinging spatulas and flipping shrimp with the precision of a certified dad assembling a new lawnmower. And the fire! Holy smokes! The onion volcano erupts in a blaze of glory that’s just grill-iant. The whole performance is, quite literally, on fire. Now, the food. The portions are big enough to feed Godzilla after a rough day stomping around downtown. I got the steak and chicken combo, and it was sear-iously fantastic. The fried rice was so good, I told the chef, “It’s very rice to meet you!” He didn't laugh, but I knew he got it. My wife had the sushi, and I had to stop her from ordering more because she was on a roll! The whole meal was soy amazing, you have to see it to be-leaf it, just like Mount Fuji itself! The service is fast and friendly, and they’re great with the kids. From the fiery show to the monstrously good food, FUJI of Tokyo gets a five-star rating on the official Dad-o-Meter. You just wasa-bi-lieve how good it is. So, maki your way over there for a meal that’s a...

This was our 3rd time visiting this restaurant and it will be the last. The staff is ridiculous. We visit with a party of 6. We ask to slide a 2 seat table over to a 4 seat table. We were told no. The staff stated they needed to save that entire area for smaller parties. So they state we have to sit in another section that had 3 tables. The tables were so close together. There was no space between the tables. During the entire time we were there only 2 people came in to sit in the other dining area. So they made a family night out so unpleasant. The staff was arrogant and did not make you feel welcome. Food is okay but staff needs to be retrained on client service. This same thing happened the 1st visit and now the 3rd..... you would think that owner wants business and not to dictate who...

Food is good, hibachi chicken is great, not amazing...but for under 6$ no complaints here. Portion size is large, usually get 2 meals out of HC and a side of noodles. Noodles are dank. Cover it all in shrimp sauce and get a solid meal for 8$. Can't beat that if your looking for some quick Japanese take out. Can't review service I always order take out, but unlike other reviews I have never had them not answer the phone. Not even once, and I order take out here on a bi weekly basis or so. Food is definitely worth the money. Is not a 30$ meal Japanese steak house quality meal, but you certainly get what...
