Fujiyama Japanese Steak & Sushi Restaurant Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

  • Kathy C.

    This review is solely on the sushi side of the restaurant. On the rare occasion that we are on the north side of Jacksonville, we decided to give this place a try. We are still searching for the hamachi collar (as Sekisui closed down... /cry) So imagine our surprise when we saw it on the menu here, but wait... $10.95? That's about the highest I've seen a hamachi collar dish. But maybe, wishful thinking, maybe it's priced that high because they give you BOTH sides of hamachi collor??? So we eagerly ordered our food. As usual, trying out a new sushi place, we ordered hamachi sashimi, tamago, spicy tuna roll... and then, I saw the spicy scallop roll, and just had to try it. Topped it all of with fried calamari and a hamachi collar. The fried calamari came out first. They were HUGE rings of squid lightly battered (Japanese tempura style) and fried to perfection. Delicious! Then the sushi came... The hamachi sashimi were two huge slices of fish, not bad at all. Tamago was decent. But that ended the good streak for us.... The spicy tuna roll was grinded up tuna mixed with spicy sauce. So I do prefer my fish a bigger piece instead of grinded, but I've tried spicy tuna roll both ways before. And have had good experience even when the tuna was grinded up like this. However, what is disappointing here is that the sushi rice was terrible and the knifework was ... unacceptable. Both rolls have very sloppy presentation. There were 8-9 pieces per order, which tells me the sushi chef decided to, for whatever reason, cut the pieces small. They were uneven, and some parts of these rolls were not covered with rice (i.e. showing seaweed wrapper). I do have to say though, that the spicy scollop roll was tasty, if you ignore the rice... So while we were finishing up the not-so-impressive rolls, I saw someone from the kitchen brought a plate of something to the sushi bar. And then, I saw the sushi chef vigorously putting all kinds of sauces on that plate. I was thinking to myself, "I feel sorry for the poor bastard who is gonna get that soaked sushi plate mess of a dish...." Guess what, we were that poor bastard! That was the hamachi collar.... I've had hamachi collar from several different places, this is the first time we had to "rescue" the hamachi collar from a soupy mess. It was a nicely flamed fish, tender and juicy, but topped, no, bathed in variety of sauces. The roe was a nice touch though. After our initial panic, we lifted the collar off from it's original dish and set it on the sushi dish (now empty)... and did enjoyed it afterwards. But no, it was a regularly portioned hamachi collar for $10.95... I guess the extra 4 bucks was the effort the sushi chef made to "decorate" the collar.... We probably will not... go back again, given the location (too far from where we live) and the display of sushi. The price of hamachi collar was just too high (now that we found another, decently priced, Japense restaurant for the collar).

    I had the Shrimp Hibachi. The vegetables were fresh, the fried rice had the right amount of sauce, and the shrimp were prepared tastefully. However the portion size was really small in my opinion. Not really sure I got my money's worth. However it does provide a great atomosphere for family and friends which picks up where the value of the food lacks.

    Happy Birthday Jimmy. I really think you had a good time. I hope your food was better then mine. First the place was slow with the service but we did have a chance to talk and get to know each other. So no foul there. I personally thought it was weird that they would bring out one app and later ask if someone else wanted anything. The chef was pretty funny but you can tell that these places are almost all the same. Food: the fried rice was pretty good once I added some flavor to it with the crab sauce and garlic sauce. The tuna was so over cooked almost tough. the shrimp that he added was charcoaled. The scallops that my wife got were cooked nicely but did lack the char or PC caramelized for texture I guess. I did really like the vegetables. I will say that the best thing of the evening was the company. Tess you did a good job so jimmy keep her and keep her happy. She might weld you into something. Jo El it was nice to meet you two but we were on opposite ends of the grill. Allie, you an Adam were a joy again. So I liked the people around the meal but not the meal around the people. Sorry, now Black Sheep.

    Happy Birthday Jimmy! I heard that your food was cooked great. That's a good thing cause ours was over cooked pretty badly. We all met and were seated by one person and then another came over and got one couples app orders and off she went. When theirs was cooked she took someone else's order and off she went. The service wasn't worth a darn. One young man in our group ended up going and getting another adult beverage himself. The Chef was funny and very scripted. You know thrown the egg at folks and then the onion volcano Jimmy did get a bunch of mini birthday cakes. So we were not very impressed with the Fujiyama meal.

    It was ok. What can I say ... Nothing can compare to real sushi in Japan. The server was really nice. I will probebly go back when my son feel like sushi. He ordered spicy tuna and regular tuna. He wanted me to rated 4 .... :/ but... He doesn't know what real Japanese food is. I had tempura udon. Tempura was on the side with weird sweet sauce which.... Isn't actual tempura sauce .... Udon soup.... Never seen asparagus in udon in my life til today. Oh well... What can I say ..

    Great Sushi at a very reasonable price. Fujiyama is one of those Japanese restaurants that is split between a Japanese Griddle Steakhouse and a Sushi Restaurant. Their Grill is typical Mall food, but their Sushi side is wonderful! I really feel this is one of the best Sushi joints in North Jacksonville. Try the Spicy Salmon Roll for a test, very savory... Their special sushi bar menu is always really creative and tasty. Service at the Sushi side of the house is above average for Jax.

    This place is absolutely amazing. I just moved to Jacksonville from San Diego, and I did not have to look far to find a place that served amazing sushi. The Godzilla roll is to die for. The service is amazing, fast and friendly. I don't have any complaints about this place.

    This restaurant is becoming one of my regular dinning spots. The service is excellent (owners brother is great!) and the food is always excellent.

    The service here was good, and since the restaurant is close to us, I really wanted to like it, but I just couldn't do it... We had hibachi from the kitchen. Steak and shrimp/scallops. All of the shrimp were overlooked, rubbery, and a little fishy. The scallops were tiny, very rubbery, and very fishy. The vegetable portions were very small. The only sauce they served was shrimp sauce. You could ask for ginger, which was decent, but when I asked for mustard sauce, they looked at me like I had a third eye. We had high hopes, but won't be going back. Have Thai at the Green Papaya next door if you're in the area instead!

  • Debra B.

    We had sushi (not the teppan table). The Godzilla is fantastic! The American Dream was good - but not as good as the Godzilla. I would avoid The Green Hornet, as it was a bit mushy.

    We just moved to this side of town and wanted to celebrate our anniversary with Japanese food. We heard from a good friend that the food was "phenomenal." We were easily seated at the hibachi grill. The two hibachis next to us had birthday parties which made the atmosphere fun. Had they not been there it would have been a quiet Sunday. Our hibachi chef did the standard grill tricks and was relatively quiet. Our food was very well on the grill. Our waitress was good. We could barely hear her because of the other tables, but in a good way. She was very attentive. Definitely will be back again.

    Fujiyama was an excellent choice. The restaurant was clean, service expedient. My husband had the steak & shrimp hibachi, I had the vegetable tempura bento box...both were excellent. Both accompanied with delicious Miso Soup and a crisp salad with ginger dressing. Sorry I did not have my camera to take pictures.

    We came here for the first time last weekend, not our pick. I feel like once you've been to one Japanese-styled hibachi grill restaurant you've been to them all. Same food selections, same taste, same corny chef jokes and same ridiculous prices. We went here for lunch and got hibachi for 3 & spent $75.00. Granted that included gratuity & if it was for dinner that would have been one thing but for just lunch? That's also considering that my husband and I only ordered chicken and my daughter ordered shrimp. I will say that their service was good, they kept our drinks full and their establishment was well-maintained. Other than that, there's nothing spectacular about it but if you like or are looking for a hibachi grill on the Northside of Jax this place will deliver to your expectations.

    We ordered the katsu chicken and the hibachi steak lunches. The fried rice is bland. The steak had a good taste to it, but not much...the plate was large but filled with some kind of fries....I think zucchini. They were really good. The chicken was pretty typical. ..nothing special. The soup was pretty good. The salad was good too. Service was great. The best thing about the meal. The restaurant was clean and a nice environment.

    I'm giving them 5 stars for their customer service alone! Our drinks never got too low, everything we requested came out promptly and our food was hot and flavorful. We had a ten minute wait and the restaurant was packed when we got there. Seriously, every seat was occupied and for the first time I didn't mind. Our waitress and waiter were amazing, yes we had two of them, maybe three or four. Every employee was concerned about our dining experience and I can appreciate that. Their dynamite roll was AMAZING! One of the best sushi rolls I've tasted in Jacksonville. My auntie and I both agreed on that. Their fried rice was also great, seriously I could eat it alone. It was bursting with flavor but had no meat, I was definitely surprised. The shrimp, chicken, filet mignon and scallops were all cooked to perfection. The bottom line is that this place is definitely packed for a reason. Their food was hot and flavorful, their customer service is amazing and the dining experience with our family was very memorable. The ONLY con would be that drum they bang for birthdays, after the second birthday I was over it! Seriously, there were like ten birthdays during the time we were there. Ugh! We will definitely be returning. Happy Yelping...

    On vacation, we went here on a recommendation of a friend, since Koja Sushi is now closed down. (I'm devastated by that, by the way.) We only ordered sushi rolls, no hibachi that night. I have no complaints about the sushi, it was good. Seemed fresh. The drink specials were a great addition to the night! The service was ok. But our waitress seemed a little confused or maybe annoyed? I suppose it was the end of the night... maybe she was ready to go home? Not saying this was a bad place at all or even a bad visit. Just saying it didn't leave an impression on me that would make me want to eat here the next time I come back down to visit. Try it for yourself... you never know, maybe you'll like it!

    Waited to be seated and then when we were the hostess would not allow us to sit where we requested. Then we waited some more and some more and some more, finally we left.

    I come here once a month by myself since I work nearby. Service is always great. I love their bento box..what a steal for $7.99. Rice, gyoza, sushi, vegtables, teriyaki chicken plus ginger salad and soup! They even always provide a side of shrimp sauce. My only complaint is that I wish they had a rewards program or coupons that I could actually use.

    The food wasn't tasty at all. I ordered salmon hibachi and it was over cooked. It came with vegetables and they were bitter tasting. It was entertaining however. That's the reason I gave them two stars. Other than that I would have given them one star.

  • Diana M.

    I have been meaning to stop in here for a long time. I finally got my change with a lunch group and I was pretty happy. Their hibachi was top notch and their shrimp sauce was excellent. My one complaint would be the ginger dressing...it was just missing something...

  • Alex V.

    By far the best we've found in Jax so far - we've tried maybe 4 and returned to this one 4 times. The service is great, the chef's are always entertaining, always too much to eat, and the sushi menu is top-notch. The pricing is a bit cheaper than the other few we've tried in the area but the service and food-quality far succeeded them. Great experience, and will and have been back!

    We ventured to Fujiyama last Friday to start the weekend and for a friends bday dinner. It's located in the Rivercity shopping center, by the airport, which seems to be just blowing up as far as eating and shopping are concerned. We started with a sushi roll while we were waiting for the entire party to arrive. It was a crab, cream cheese tempura creation, the name escapes me, but I can say it was pretty good. Soon we were one to ordering our hibachi entrees... and the signature soup and salads starting making their way to our party. Clear soup was ok... salad was not anything special... even with the ginger dressing. Our server was a bit forgetful and un-attentive, and Mr. Yelp decided to clear his own plate by setting it on a shelf behind us. LOL. So the hibachi chef came out.... he was absolutely hilarious. We were all in good spirits and he laughed and played along with all of our jokes... and did the normal hibachi presentations. (Volcano, shrimp toss etc.) I ordered the shrimp, and they were a tad overcooked. But the veggies and rice were pretty good. There was a bottle of sake ordered at the table, and I did love there was a cucumber slice in the sake glasses... it was a nice mellow addition and I am definitely jumping on the cucumber cocktail bandwagon. Other than that, this place wasn't really anything super special. The staff did come around to sing happy birthday and the birthday boy got a free dessert.

    I honestly love this place. The hibachi grill is perfect; whether it's chicken, steak, or shrimp. It can be pricey, but you get a lot of food! I recommend the dynamite roll, and look for the Lobster roll if you're trying the sushi.

  • Amanda N.

    I've been here a few times and it's usually pretty good. Wish they had happy hrs. Nothing. Last night was a bit odd. Seriously checked on every 5 min by everyone. Very overwhelming. Give me a min to decide. We each ordered a salad. I ordered the spicy salmon and enjoyed it. Great taste and texture. She ordered the spicy seaweed. First off the waitress out in the wrong salad knowing this she brought it over anyway and tried to pawn that off on her instead of what she ordered. Still wanted her to pay for it too. She chose to stick w what she ordered. Which she didn't like. Looked like intestines. Most times spicy seaweed just has peppers etc added to it but this was covered in red sauce. The sushi rolls were pretty tasty except one had cucumber overload. Hoping next time I go back the experience is better.

    Very good sushi and Japanese hibachi grilled shrimp, chicken and beef. A good easy stop for those traveling up or down 95.

    My friends and I, we love Japanese steak houses. We've been to many places in town and it's all been a hit and miss. We've been back to Fujiyama the most because we get great service here, and the food here tasted good. The only drawback I have about this place is the amount of food you get for the price. Portions here are much much smaller than other places, even the meat and shrimp portions. Other japanese steakhouses gives you a much more decent amount of rice, shrimps, and meat for the price.

    Great experience. Good food. We were passing through the area and Yelp brought us here. I wanted to add to the reviews. Honestly....strip mall sushi scared me, but it was GREAT!!

    Best Sushi from south Jax to GA. Decently priced, well presented, and always consistent. The sushi bar gentlemen are always talkative and love to see your reaction makes the place a good one.

    Stopped into Fujiyama tonight for our daughter's 7th birthday (she chose sushi for her birthday dinner) and had a great time. The sushi was wonderful and the hibachi dinner was great. Huge portions and everything tasted good. I'm only taking off one star for basically being rushed out the door, we weren't even half way through eating when the waitress was asking if we needed boxes and were ready for the check.

    Great lunch for 8$. Bento box with shrimp tempura came with California roll, salad, the ginger dressing was excellent, miso soup, and dumplings. Dear hubby had the chicken teriyaki and enjoyed his very much too. I think the chicken was on the dry side.The decor is warm dark and intimate. The wait staff pleasant .

  • Mharz P.

    great customer service , the sushi/ sashimi are very delicious and they are freshly made. the place are clean and has great ambience, the only thing that is down side to this sushi bar is they need to make the sushi and sashimi a little bit more bigger serving just like other sushi bar has to offer.

    (3)
  • Scott W.

    The shrimp tempura was excellent. The tempura was fresh and crispy but not too greasy. The sushi is fresh. I have to say that it's some of the best in the area. Check out the noodle dishes as well. Very good too.

    Update: 1 Dec 09 Just as we thought....my SO and I visited Fujiyama again when our daughter was in town. We did not have sushi, we sat at the Teppan tables for dinner and a show. so, my previous review was 4 out of 5 stars b/c it was the grand opening. We were impressed at the size portions and the quality of food. That was 30 Oct 09. NOW, the portions were much, much smaller -- I guess the newness has worn off and in comes the extreme portion control. The rice this time was a long grain rice that was dry where it did not stick at all and jumped on the teppan table for lack of moisture. We each ordered Steak and something combo's. Seems my SO's steak portion was given to another customer -- mine seemed to be the normal portion, but he had less than half a portion. hhmmm..... This chef 'tried' to be funny but wasn't. He kept calling all of the women "Mamee" throughout his entire presentation. He served the shrimp appetizer LAST, veggies next to last; Rice and then meats were served first. Kind of backwards??? Needless to say, I'm only giving 2 stars b/c I've had much, much better service, portions and have had more entertaining at other places. Also PRICELESS was the little boy's face (His big brother brought him) when he watched the fire and the spinning utensils.

    The spicy tuna and crab crunch rolls were TINY. Don't be fooled by the cheap price, you get what you pay for. Also got the Ito and Morning Glory rolls which are on the special rolls menu and look more like normal size rolls. All were pretty good despite the size.
