Fuji Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in South Carolina

Good food, good prices, but friendliness and procedural cleanliness needs improvement.

The food here tastes great. And, the prices, especially for the area, are even better. My family and I visited this restaurant yesterday. Our meals came quickly and were going great - in fact, better than expected. However, the great ride came to a screeching halt when my wife found a hair in her food halfway thru her meal.

No place can be perfect. And, hair, above all things, happens. I get it. But, for some, including my wife, once the theoretical bubble of purity perfection has been burst for a particular restaurant, the visit will never be repeated. On my wife's behalf, the "A" sanitation grade on the door provides no comfort when all you can think about is what you found in your food the last time you ate. While I, personally, would never expect that any restaurant, or even any single meal, to be flawless and pure, I do expect to never be able to find such imperfections. Was it a fluke of probability for my wife to find that hair? Probably (pun intended). But, good, solid procedures for cleanliness should be more than enough to keep detectable impurities so rare that only the most vigilant among inspectors could ever find them.

Despite the incident with the hair, the dining area overall was clean, neat, and orderly. My brief glance at the cooking area gave me the same impression. The staff was cordial and polite, but lacked warmth and friendliness. Even an occasional smile would work wonders for their demeanor.

In summary, if you are willing to trade so-so cleanliness and lack-luster friendliness for good-tasting food at a good price, this place is well-worth a try. Otherwise, I recommend against venturing a visit, at least until you get some official indication that the problems with procedural cleanliness have...

This place is falling apart inside. A broken wind chime on the door hit me in the face upon exiting. The seats are torn. Handwritten signs adorn the walls. The soda machine was out of service. The doors and windows looked dirty.

You can dine in here but there are no plates or silverware. You basically can eat your to go order in the restaurant without service.

The staff do not speak much English. They weren't overly friendly but they weren't rude either. Rather impersonable I'd say.

The pricing is misleading online. You pay more for white chicken. I paid about $13 for teriyaki chicken.

The food was satisfactory. Portion sizes were excellent, everything tasted fresh. The white sauce was lacking. It was more watery and tangy than I am accustomed to.

Overall it's a decent meal at an average price in a dilapidated...

This place is a complete dump inside. The food is marginal at best, and the man who answers the phone has an attitude problem, and don't trust the woman there as she charges more for items than the prices on their menu and for small condiments that other Asian restaurants give customers for free, but doesn't tell you that there is a cost to them. They don't even offer pork fried rice!! For example, I ordered a side fried rice and the price on their website menu is $3.95, yet she charged me $8 for this. Not only that, they don't give you an itemized receipt with you order which only confirms that they purposely try to take advantage of customers. Some businesses have zero integrity and this is one of them !! Stay clear of this business and don't become a...
