"Mt. Fuji has been the go-to sushi spot for my family and I, but lately, they have been letting us down with takeout, so we came here to see what it is actually like. When you come in, apart from the giant hibachi-viewing window, you will see the giant fish scales that will confused why they don't continue into a tail. Aside from that, ambiance is very casual and simple. The menu here is pretty straightforward and includes the typical Japanese-American dishes and some more inspired menu items. I highly recommend the egg rolls for an appetizer and green tea for a drink, especially if you have ordered a lot of food. On that note, service if fast and attentive to the need of the customers and they will have you be at home. I would strongly recommend the famous Norwegian dish, smoked salmon as it is very buttery, oily, and is so tender, that the amazing flavors will melt in your mouth, complimented by the soft and fluffy rice. You heard right! Smoked salmon is not Japanese and was invented as a way for Norway to deal with its major excess of salmon in the 1980's. Add some ginger to your salmon to make it even more flavorful and crunchy. Our meals were amazing, full of flavor and our service was also amazing. We left being full and happy, waiting to come back another time!Tl;dr: The service is great, food is amazingly soft and fluffy, with a great feel to it all. Setting: very simple with some Japanese touches. Service: Fast and attentive (if you dine in.)Food: The smoked salmon is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone."

"Food is good, but just order it to go. The “service” is terrible. We didn’t have a waiter/ it was a self service concept, but no one let us know this. We found this out after waiting some time for drink refills after almost done with our pizza. There is no self-serve drink station so I went up to the bar to ask for a refill mid chew. The bar tender said she was going to give me a to go cup since they were closing. I had just told her that I didn’t know we had to get our own drinks and that I wanted something quickly so my food could go down. (In my opinion, it would have been quicker for her to just refill my cup that i had already brought up. Before the pizza, we had ordered sushi rolls and crab rangoon. After each item was dropped off, first the crab rangoon in a to-go bag, then 10 minutes later, the sushi in to-go containers, no one asked how everything tasted or if they could get us anything else. After the sushi, I had to stop her as she walked away for some soy sauce, but the look on her face and energy gave annoyance. Which is why after a guy came out with the pizza and quickly walked away, I didn’t bother asking him for plates, so we just ate it on a napkin. At one point, the bar tender came up to us to let us know they were closing while still eating. As we walked up to pay, there were 2 men at the bar drinking. I asked the “server” while paying what time the bar closed and she said the restaurant closed at 9. I asked, “oh, but what about the bar, she said “the whole restaurant closed at 9”, and I said “oh” and turned towards the 2 men and the bar tender who came up to us earlier to let us know they were closing. She then says, “they are just finishing up their drinks”. It looked like to me the bar tender was getting them another drink. This was a VERY bizarre and unwelcoming experience- coming from someone who worked as a server in the past and who enjoys new restaurants. There were no smiles and it had a very cold “get the hell out” energy. Sad to say as I want locally owned restaurants to thrive."
