We now know that my kids LOVE the experience of hibachi! We came here to celebrate my mom's birthday, and our hibachi cook entertained our entire table. He did all the things you would expect -- crack the eggs, shoot sake into the mouths of the adults, flip the spatulas. My family ate it up. My son wants to go to a hibachi restaurant for his birthday now too. And the food was good too! It's what you would expect for hibachi, but there can be comfort in the expected. I got the chicken and shrimp hibachi, along with a sushi roll on the side. This restaurant also has a beautiful koi pond in its lobby, which was fun to watch while waiting for our table. We'd love to come back! read more

I went here with my fiancé about a week ago for a date night. Despite it being a super busy, they were able to see us immediately at the hibachi grill. The host, server, and chef were all very nice and accommodating! We felt super welcome, even though it was our first time there, they made us feel like regulars. We ordered the steak and chicken combination as well as a steak and shrimp combination for the hibachi. We upgraded to fried rice and everything was 10/10. For appetizers we also ordered the fried veggies tempura and salmon sushi. Both were great. Would deff come back again! read more

When food and service don't shine, it's hard to want to come back. As a group of 8, we stopped in for lunch. As the restaurant was quite empty, we were promptly seated at a Hibachi Grill table. We hadn't asked for this but it worked out well. About half of the people had the Hibachi Grill and half ordered off of the menu. I personally ordered off of the menu and selected the Teriyaki Steak Lunch Bento Box. Throughout the meal, it was apparent that there was either a communication gap or rather a poor server. Throughout the meal, many things were forgotten or missed completely. People missing rice and the Hibachi Grill orders were incorrectly put in. So when the Hibachi "show" was over, several people were left wondering where half of their food was. This was then brought to them after the fact, once the mistake was pointed out. It was quite obvious that the Hibachi Grill Chef was not pleased with the Server about this. My Lunch Bento Box was lacking in every way. I understand fully that you get what you pay for. You're not expecting a 5-Star lunch here. But, I did expect better. The rice was lukewarm and gummy. The steak was void of flavor and very chewy. The addition of the teriyaki sauce did little to help the steak as it was thin and also quite flavorless. The tempura items within the box were cold and rubbery. Even down to the Diet Pepsi I ordered tasted off. Would I go back? Most definitely not, unfortunately. As I don't get any joy in writing bad reviews, this one was just hard to muster up any positive notes or even to call it "just a bad day". Too much on too many different levels went wrong. I can't imagine it getting much better. The staff was nice as was the decor of the standard restaurant area. As for our experience, every aspect was lacking. read more

Excellent food and outstanding service. I liked the shrimp and the rice. All is very delicouse.

Food was great!! The food is always fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The hibachi chefs are entertaining, the staff is attentive, and the atmosphere feels welcoming every time. Easily one of my favorite places to eat. read more

The chef was fantastic! I love the saki from the bottle and the flavors of the food were so good. The salad dressing was super and there are more than the usual choices for hibachi. My family had a great time. read more

We've been here several times, it is a favorite of my grandson's for his birthday. Service was just ok. Not a typical "show" and we had one party who had never been to a hibachi restaurant. Sushi came out way late in the meal although it was ordered before the hibachi order. Food was as expected. read more

Spring rolls are delicious. I really like ginger dressing on the salad. The clear soup isn't very good. Sushi is great and the presentation was nice. Service is a bit slow. read more

We have been waiting to be served for over an hour and no server seems to care. a big party was in the room which i understand but what i don't understand is why 3 servers were cooking and we were left with none. after the servers left the party room one by one they all went to the back and only one came out so where's the other two? so angry read more

From the beginning the service was horrible and ruined the dining experience. The hostess wasn't friendly at all. We decided to sit at a regular table, instead of the hibachi. It took at least 15 minutes for the waiter to come to our table. Our salads were frozen & disgusting. The waiter never came to check on us before bringing our main course. The food wasn't very warm & my husband said his New York strip steak hibachi was old. The steak wasn't even cooked correctly either. It's like the food had been sitting for quite some time. We won't be returning. read more

I don't know what's up with the bad reviews. The food was delicious. My roll was so good, which I was surprised. Habachi was the tits. My server was super sweet! I personally recommend coming over to try. I found it worth my money more so then going to cheddars. read more

We ate there last night (I am trying to be lenient since it was New Year's Eve). It was just my husband and me. However, we had a 5:30 reservation and waited ~ 15 minutes to be seated. Originally, we were seated at a hibachi table with six other people for a total of 8. First of all, we waited a very long time just for our drinks. Then after ~ 45 minutes, they sat another 2 people at our table for a total of 10 people! The other adjoining table in our small room was seated at least 35 minutes after we were seated and only had 7 or 8 people at their table and they got their drinks quickly and were actually eating their soup and salads BEFORE we were. Additionally, unfortunately, we FINALLY got our soup and salad at the same time and the soup was cold. To make things worse, it was cold outside and it actually felt like there was no heat in our room or in the entire restaurant for that matter. I had my winter coat on , as did many other people in the restaurant, and I was still very cold, even with the two chefs, side by side in our small room, preparing food at our tables with the grills turned on! Things did not get any better as the meal went on! My husband and I both ordered steak and chicken. I ordered my steak medium rare so I was served first. I got very few small pieces of meat - maybe ten, and three of them had no meat but all fat! GROSS! I did get an adequate portion of fried rice, however, I asked for double Yum Yum sauce but got both the brown sauce, which I do not eat, and only one Yum Yum sauce! When the chicken was ready, I also got very little chicken but a few more pieces than steak. Then, it was time for the vegetables to be served. Well, once again, I was served first, and again, with 10 people at our table, I got very few veggies with mostly big pieces of onion, which I do not like, so I put them on my husband's plate. The only thing left after that was one piece of broccoli and three small pieces of zucchini! Pathetic! We had to also ask for a drink refill. Our total bill was around $80 including tip. Normally, we like Fuji, however, this meal was a horrible experience and not worth the money at all. When you seat 10 people at a table you need to increase your portions incrementally and not start out with the same portions as you would for a smaller table. Additionally, I also learned instead of ordering two meats like steak and chicken that I will order one meat with scallops so I get a designated number of scallops instead of a very small portion of meat that is unevenly divided up between multiple people! I will never come here again on New Year's Eve and may never return again. read more

This was once a fun awesome place. It's gone so far downhill. We waited 45 minutes before they even started cooking. The only seasoning they used for all meats and rice was salt and plain soy sauce that they drenched it all in. No ginger, no garlic just soy sauce. Our chef barely spoke a word. There was no "show", no saki, or shrimp tossing. The lettuce in the salad was so bitter we couldn't eat it, the miso used to be phenomenal , but it's changed too. I had to go to the bar for drink refills. It was terrible and my last trip there for Hibachi. The only saving grace here is the alcohol. The drinks are very reasonably priced at $6.25. read more

Okay place. The waiter said there was problem with water so they recommend not to get water or green tea. I figure that would be a warning sign. We were hungry and many things were closed in the area. Not sure why. So we stayed. Got yaki soba and katu don. Both cane out alright. They also gave us one miso soup, I was sure which dish. Unlikely I would return again. Service was the best part. Food was okay, at least it did not make me sick. read more

Portions are really inconsistent here. They gave me like 8 pieces of well done steak while this little kid got double the amount I got. Then the hibachi chef, just scoffed at me and told me to complain to the manager if I don't like it. Ok cool. Plus the food wasn't very good and I ended up getting my steak medium well instead of medium. Soup tasted like pure salt, the steak wasn't seasoned and the fried rice just tasted like soy sauce and butter - very one note. I'm sure it could be better if they hired better hibachi chefs. Or at least had better marinades or sauces to cook the food. read more

Terrible service waited over an hour for the to cook the food. Also other party waited longer and decided to leave when told they had only 2 chefs and had to wait inline for the to come to table. Had to proceed to get there attention for every time we needed something. When they brought bill they applied a 18% gratuity for chef and a 10% for the waiter to our 4 party table. When trying to get an explanation they couldn't give one. Unsatisfied read more

Stinky, filthy, terrible service. The waiter dropped off drinks at the table, turned around to walk away and immediately started digging in his butt-crack. The tables and menus were dirty. The place smelled like dirty mop water. The coi pond was nice! I do not recommend. read more

Good drinks, great service, very entertaining, food is amazing I get the filet and shrimp every time. I love this place for birthdays

Was early for my dinner party politely asked for a beer while I was waiting. The manager told me he did not have time he made several drinks behind the bar while I was waiting. Normally the food is great but very poor customer service. From the host read more

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner last night at The Fuji Steak House. Our sever put on quite an entertaining show to be enjoyed by both young and older adults. I tried three variations of sushi, soup, and steak and lobster entree. Everyone who waited on us was kind and friendly and our server had fun entertaining us. ( See Pictures) read more

From check in to paying the bill everything was a great experience. 1st time in and we will be back frequently

We come here often but today was a disaster. We arrived at 11am when they opened and that's when they decided to start cleaning the blinds. Dust was flying everywhere and every time i tried my food, I tasted cleaning supply's. I'm not too sure why they wouldn't do this when they were closed. read more

Fuji Steak House - Japanese Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

we had to wait almost an hour for our food and we and they still didnt get us our food fo about 10 minutes but they also ignore us.

Ignore the terrible reviews, I'm pretty sure they don't know what they're talking about. They might not be serving Michelin star rated dishes here, but their food was delicious. Like most of my party we ordered hibachi chicken from the hibachi grill, the chef was entertaining and polite (understanding of some of the socially inept guests in our party). I can understand how some patrons may have issues properly communicating with some of the employees since it did seem like our waiter spoke English as a secondary language, but patience and understanding goes a long way. read more

First time at this restaurant and we absolutely loved it! It was insanely busy! So make reservations!! The food was fantastic! They did not seem to give you as much rice and vegetables as other places but the over all food was better then other places we have tried! read more

I love coming to this place, but during this visit I was disappointed hence the 3 star. The wait staff- Julie was all great so I will rate her 5/5. She was very attentive, she was always there to ask if we are doing okay, and was efficient in taking our orders and serving our food. The food itself specially the beef bulgogi was a disappointment. It says it comes with vegetables and beef, but when it arrived it's all noodles that's overdone, some thinly sliced carrots and onions, I have to have my glasses on to really notice them. As for the rest of the food, nothing really special and rave about. The cold bibimbap lacks flavor, serving size was good & the presentation was very colorful and appetizing. I'm really torn if I want to recommend this place or not. Personally, I will not come back again because o know I can get better Japanese food elsewhere. I thin you come to this place because of the experience. Come here for the hibachi show specially if it's your birthday. Don't forget to let your server know it's your birthday or someone from your party is celebrating his or her birthday. You will be celebrated with a loud bang! read more

We have been a few times and always pleased. The chefs are the best. They are funny and talented. The rice/meat/veggies are always DELICIOUS!! It's reasonable too. It's a fun experience if you've never tried hibachi. I was impressed with the server. We told her it was my daughter's birthday and she remembered! Yay! Drums pounded out Happy Birthday as the whole room joined in. It added to her day and I loved it!! read more

Ate here for the first time last Saturday. The four of us ate at the Hibachi Grill Station, the man who was grilling the food was entertaining, but the food wasn't great. I had the Filet and it was not like the Filets that I've ordered elsewhere. I guess I was expecting more. May give it another try down the road. read more

First off they simply do bad business. If they make a mistake no matter how big or little, they take no accountability and do nothing to rectify it. Me and my friend ate there for dinner today. We sat next to a family of three at the hibachi table. So we eat, it's fine. Then we get our bill. It's correct, we give our card. Then they bring back the bill after running the card and give us the wrong bill & wrong card. It was the family of three sitting next to us bill and card. The family had already left. With our card. So we go up and speak to a manger and explain what happened. And all she says is I'm sorry and worries about getting the right bill and having us fill it out. We mention to her to give our phone number so if the person comes back they can call us to get our card. She offers no discount or nothing for this major mistake. And to top it off, the male server tried to get us to fill out the bill so he would get tipped still knowing it wasn't our card or bill. I'm not sure what kind of restaurant thinks this is okay in the slightest and does nothing to even help the situation. read more

This was not worth the money for several reasons: 1) we ordered Filet and got Strip steak instead. This was brought to the attention of the manager and he went to the back and brought out a perfect platter with perfectly looking Filets and a standard strip on a platter to show what a filet vs. strip looked like (as if I was a city boy.) I will attest, the filets we were served, were long/skinny/ deranged and looked nothing like the "standard display model". 2) Before the meal my mother went to the restroom and noted no toilet paper. She brought it to the attention of the hostess. 3) After the meal my wife went to the same restroom, only to see that over an hour later there was still no toilet tissue. 4) don't get me wrong, I would eat here again, but only as a last resort. Food was ok, service was less than par, and I was just underwhelmed by the overall cleanliness of the facility. 5) the bottled beer was fantastic. read more

super disappointed. we called ahead to express it was for a birthday. we came in with balloons and cake and even told our server and the cook it was her birthday. they never acknowledged it let alone sing to her. we barely saw our server, never got checked on, didn't remove the salad soup bowls we had to stack them on the corner. my cup had a crack in in because it leaked all over the table and I had to use everyone's one napkin to soak it up, i had to ask another tables server for a different cup but never got it. I shouldn't be surprised he showed up to give us the bill after everyone standing up and looking around because it had been awhile. I had to go ask for boxes and a bag. service was awful food was just ok nothing as special as I remember it being 3 months ago. won't be celebrating any birthdays or going for a simple fun dinner here anymore read more

Don't order the Katsu or the tan don..... you can thank me later. Would not recommend this place.

We've been going to this place for so many years. I've always loved it. This last time we made reservations because we had family come from out of town. The reservations were for 7:00. We didn't get seated until 8:30. We didn't get our drink order until 9:15. I have no idea what happened to this place but they better figure it out soon. Also, don't bother making reservations. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my second visit to Fuji's. My boyfriend and I met another couple there on a very busy Saturday night. We had to wait about 20 minutes to get seated, which was fine. The service was on the slower side, but we didn't mind because we weren't in rush. We ordered the dinner special for two and it was very tasty. This consisted of lobster tail, shrimp, scallops, and filet mignon. It also came with fried rice and the mixed vegetables. My favorite part was the scallops-they were perfectly cooked. Our chef was friendly and interactive with everyone. He flipped pieces of zucchini to each person for you to try and catch it in your mouth. He also had a squeeze bottle of sake that he sprayed in anyone's mouth that wanted some. These were elements that I had not seen at another hibachi before! Overall it was a fun and tasty dinner! read more

If I could give negative stars I would. The absolute disrespect from staff especially the manager at this location was ridiculous. I chose Fuji for my birthday between the party it was close to a $500 bill. We were rushed through the entire experience to the point of being told we had to leave after our food was served 20 minutes before. We were there a total of an hour and 15 minutes with a party of 18. read more

We don't come to Fuji often, but we went last night. It was really good!! Our hibachi chef was entertaining, the food was sooooo good! We had a variety of chicken, shrimp and steak within my party and everyone said the food was awesome. The clear soup was just ok, not sure if they changed it or if it was just me, but the salad was crisp and I love the dressing. The decor is looking/feeling very dated and they used chipped plates. read more

I've been skeptical of this place for a while, but we finally made it here. The food is amazing and our hibachi cook was hilarious and super entertaining. We have been there twice so far and the food has been great both times read more

Great food good value I always go during lunch way cheaper than dinner... Steak with fried rice and Yum yum sauce ......

Here are a few things to keep in mind, When you walk in request your party to sit in the hibachi section, that's the best experience and best tasting food. The chefs are great and so much fun. My advice is always get the fried rice. Steamed rice isn't the same and you'll be extremely disappointed. The soup and salad is a must. Even if you don't like salad, just try it. The sauce on the salad is extremely unique and hard to dislike. Here are a few things, I've enjoyed. Filet Mignon Dinner with Fried Rice Shrimp and Scallops with Fried Rice Chef's Special with Fried Rice Seafood combination with Fried Rice I hope you enjoy this place as much as we have. read more
