"If you’re going for the sushi, I recommend you don’t bother. Worst sushi I’ve had by far. Barely anything in each roll despite what the descriptions make it sound like. I’ve never been so disappointed in sushi before. And I went on a slow Monday night, so it wasn’t because the kitchen was busy. And the miso soup was the smallest portion ever, barely filled the bowl halfway. Spent a lot of money here on appetizers and sushi and really disappointed, wish I went anywhere else. I wasted my money coming here for sushi. And I was celebrating a special occasion so it was even worse. I just can’t get over how little was actually in their sushi, and for regular sushi prices as if there was a good amount of fish inside. So mean of this restaurant. It’s also bad service. Not attentive at all. Had to ask the front desk for the check because the wait staff was no where to be found ever again after bringing us the food. The female who does the hibachi here with the deep voice is not funny or nice and was obnoxious and rude. She was also mean to a little kid, asking a 5 year old girl if she wanted a tiny toy chicken, handing it to her, then a few moments later telling just kidding and snatching it back up, cackling. She’s extremely way too loud too. The guys at the other tables were much better, funny, and nice. Also what in the world is up with the rated r statue that greets everyone at their front door? Literally saw a mom have her young kids pose with it for a pic not noticing the giant, fully erect. If you want a Mountain View in their lounge with a drink, great. The food and staff, I don’t recommend, especially not the sushi. The sushi wouldn’t even be worth it if the prices were cut in half. They’re not true sushi rolls with typical sized fish fillings inside. Not fair of this place. I’ve never complained about sushi from any restaurant before this. I wasn’t forced to do valet parking on the slow Monday night but the previous time I went, I was forced to do valet parking. I had no idea they had mandatory valet parking and am so against that. They need to add that to their website, it doesn’t state that anywhere. The valet guys are very rude too. And they knocked the cup holder off my door and didn’t put it back on! Also removed the cover from my seat. They weren’t careful at all driving my vehicle and didn’t treat it with respect. I don’t appreciate being forced into valet parking, Mt. Fuji."

"Their lunch specials are also very affordable. I took a co-worker here on a Saturday, and we each had two rolls, soup, salad, spicy mayo, and tea. Our total came to $26, which we easily split. Now, onto the food, which is my favorite part! I rate the sushi a solid 9.5/10 – I'm slightly disappointed in it, but my favorites are the Spicy Tuna, Boston, and Eel Avocado rolls. The miso soup deserves a perfect 10/10; it’s hands down the best I've ever had – no other sushi restaurant can compare. The appetizers are also fantastic. When I’m really hungry, I usually go for the Kani Salad or Garlic Edamame, both of which deserve a straight 10/10. As for dessert, I haven't explored the dessert menu much, but when I do, I always opt for the green tea ice cream because it's delicious. Now, let's talk about the hibachi. There are two hibachi tables right next to each other. The first time I tried their hibachi a few years ago, I decided to host my 23rd birthday party there with family and friends. I made a reservation a few days in advance to ensure our table was ready. Upon arrival, we were seated and welcomed right away. I ordered the Chicken and Steak Combo hibachi, which comes with rice and vegetables. The chicken was excellent, and my steak was medium rare, juicy, and flavorful. The vegetable fried rice was decent but nothing too remarkable. I did steal a piece of my friend’s roasted shrimp, and it was AMAZING! Definitely a must-try! The hibachi chef was clever, funny, and charming. Although their English wasn't great, it didn't matter! I had such a great time that I couldn't help singing as I left the venue. For my first experience, I’d rate it a perfect 10/10. Unfortunately, my second hibachi experience was quite different. The chicken was dry, the steak was overcooked, and everything was lacking in seasoning. The fried rice had far too much soy sauce. I was really disappointed. The service this time was surprisingly poor, and we were asked to give up our seats for a reservation that had arrived, which we were fine with. I guess it was just an off day for them. For my second experience, I’d rate it a 3/10. In summary: - Service: 8/10 - Sushi: 9/10 - Miso Soup: 10/10 - Appetizers: 10/10 - Hibachi: 7/10 (due to inconsistency; you may have a perfect 10/10 experience one day and a less than stellar one the next) - Dessert: Can't comment much as I haven't tried the entire menu - Venue: 8/10 Overall score: 8.5/10"
