So this was interesting one. We took a big group up to Joe Wheeler to look around the park and…read morewere hungry for lunch before we went home. One in our party had been here before and recommended we stop here. This is a restaurant serving both Mexican and Japanese food, though I wouldn't call it fusion. Both are fairly Americanized Mexican and Japanese dishes (think chicken and cheese on rice, and hibachi with all manner of meats and "yum yum" sauce), but it's a large menu and it had something for everyone, so it was a good fit for our quite large group. We arrived not long after opening and so they were able to seat us without any trouble -- I believe there were 11 of us total. The restaurant is large and was somewhat dimly lit but inviting enough. The bathroom was tidy despite being a little stinky. There's a large bar toward the back and it looked like there was space for dancing or musical acts. Service was efficient and friendly and patient with several party members' special requests. They also handled our many separate checks with skill. Chips and salsa came right out. The salsa was actually a highlight for me; it was surprisingly tasty and flavorful with a tiny bit of heat. Better than the average Americanized Mexican food salsa. We got a mix of items, though I think we leaned more heavily Mexican dishes. I got the Pollo Lucy off their relatively affordable lunch special menu. It's your standard chicken, cheese dip, and rice, with bonus salsa verde offered in a small squirt bottle. Although this isn't my preferred "style" of Mexican food, this was fairly good for what it was, particularly the chicken. It had a pleasant texture and was well cooked and seasoned. The rice, unfortunately, was overcooked and quite mushy and flavorless. Fortunately, that's where the copious amount of cheese dip comes in handy, lol. I liked the salsa verde and shared it with another dining companion who needed a little more umph in the taco salad she ordered. No one really raved about the food but no one really complained, either, hence the so so rating. I do appreciate the accommodations they made to ensure the two younger kids in our party would have something they liked to eat (making a plain bean burrito, serving plain cheese dip over rice, etc). That was really nice of them. Again, not really my preferred "style" of Mexican OR Japanese food for that matter, but solid enough, especially given the relative dearth of options in the area.

We stopped by here on whim because we were interested to see one restaurant serving Mexican and…read moreJapanese food. We weren't disappointed. The food was really good and the service was awesome. They brought chips and salsa to the table as most Mexican restaurants do. There weren't any Japanese appetizers but they do serve Japanese entrees. I had the Chili Relleno with rice and beans. My husband had the mixed vegetable Teriyaki. Both entrees were very good. Service was quick and the staff were very friendly. I would definitely eat here again

Chef Kavin has perfected his craft over the past 30+ years all over the nation from CA to NY. He obsesses over every piece of food that's leftover and figures how he can further perfect it. I can tell because as one who is indifferent to veggies, every piece of vegetable sings with flavor. The panang curry and hibachi were my favorites but there are no holes here at Fuji 168.

I ordered a Chattanooga roll for my meal…read more This is what a Chattanooga Roll is according the menu at Ichiban: 93.Chattanooga RollCrunchy shrimp, cream cheese, asparagus, avocado in soy wrap top w.snow crab and ichiban sauce $15.95 I was brought a roll that was absolutely smothered with what looked like hot dog slaw, but I was told it was mango slaw. No crab meat anywhere on the roll. It was no where close to what I ordered. I have ordered a Chattanooga Roll as my meal regularly for some time at this establishment. I brought it to the attention of our waiter, Devin, that I got the wrong roll. He proceeded to let me know I was wrong and that even though the menu did not say the Chattanooga Roll had slaw poured all over it that he was right because he knows what he's talking about. So forewarned - if you order the Chattanooga Roll it will be slathered in mango salsa like Bunyans slaw on a hot dog. Don't make it make sense that it's not listed that way on the menu- you should know extra ingredients are on items randomly on the menu. I was never offered an alternative - I was only told how wrong I was. We paid full price for the wrong order and Devin was graciously tipped, but this debacle deserved a review. +

The building is old and seems a bit dusty. The carpet definitely needs a good cleaning. PROS: -Cheap CONS: -Subpar food. Ingredients seemed cheap. Iceberg lettuce, watered down soup..etc. -Sushi was bad. Weird mayonnaise on top, shrimp tempura was fried last week. -Staff seemed disinterested, most of them on their phones in the dining area, including the sushi chef. -Not Japanese! Having lived in Japan for 4 years and been to many Japanese restaurants, this is not authentic or even close. Seems like a cheap Chinese knock-off. We will not be returning and hope that they put some work into rennovations, staff training and buying upgraded ingredients.
