Got the Hamilton roll, fully loaded but the flavor was just not there for me. Service was fantastic, we were seated right away, it's funny to be with strangers sometimes but, I understand. Was also holiday season, so was very impressed with service! Hibachi was great! Huge portions. Make sure you do the steak and chicken combo to get the most bang for your buck. Steak alone is the same price! read more

It's been almost exactly a year since I ate here last and the verdict is still the same. The food here is just not good. The service is excellent! I have no complaints. Super friendly and service with a smile. Quick too. But the food quality just isn't there. From the Gyoza appetizer that tastes frozen and slightly freezer burned to the our meals of Stone Bowl Bibimbap and Chicken combo with Fried Rice. I was supposed to have miso soup with mine but he brought us both the clear soup that was to come with my daughter's meal. Neither of us ate it. We didn't care for it because it was flavorless. There was no shrimp on my daughter's plate that was to come with her meal and very little of the steamed veggies that were also to come with it. It was mostly a heap of very pale fried rice with a side of chicken. The rice had none of the added ingredients that make it fried. It look like a drop of soy sauce had been added to make it a gross grey color. My bibimbap was the least favorite bibimbap I've had anywhere. And while the bowl was hot it was not near hot enough to make the rice crispy, as intended, and instead made it mushy. It's skimpy on the other ingredients besides the rice. We both took most of it home - unable to eat it because it just wasn't that great. Then I threw mine out the next day. What a waste of food and money. read more

Went for the first time 12/3. Delicious. Christine (spelling?) was very kind and gave us a quick run down. Just what I imagined hibachi would be loved seeing the koi fish in the indoor pond. read more

Ok so the sushi and anything but the hibachi is pretty mid. But the hibachi I need to warn will cause admitted STOMACH PROBLEMS. Me and my family have almost crapped our self from what we think is the meat. So just stick to the sushi. (The hibachi should be illegal) the service is spotty very rough around the edges. The decor is your typical Japanese Chinese restaurant style. But this place looks very abounded and I would not recommend if you want to punch a ticket to the toilet read more

Everytime we come it's always a good experience, the food is really good. The service is always great. The prices are amazing. Definitely give this place a shot. read more

Came here for New Year's Eve dinner and my husband and I took two of the few available seats at the bar. We ordered drinks and tipped. The bartender named vivian shortly after asked us to give up our seat and move so she could give them to two other customers. Another employee told us not to sit there. She very unnecessarily embarrassed us while we waited. I may not return because of Vivian. The food and other service was nice. read more

I would definitely recommend this place. The sushi is good and the people are nice. I would definitely say the building looks a little outdated! It could be better but the food and price and the quality of everything you get is on point. read more

I took my two grandsons and their friend to Fuji Steakhouse. They absolutely loved it. It was my oldest grandsons birthday. They sang and gave him fried ice cream. They had a great time. The only downside was the other Hibachi restaurants flip food to people, they didn't here, but it was still a good time. The food portions were large and tasted delicious. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed one of their chicken dishes on their regular menu. The host and server were very friendly. In the past, I have went to their tempayaki grill. It is the best one I have had in this area. I am planning to come back to this family friendly restaurant soon. read more

Delicious food and very generous servings. We also tried the honey roll. It was very fresh and filling. The combination hibachi platter was enough for two people. read more

Fuji Steakhouse - Combination Hibachi - Japanese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The sashimi was fresh and so was the salad. I enjoyed the light dressing that accompanied the salad. It had a ginger citrus note that was not too sweet. I also tried the hot stone bibambop and really enjoyed my meal. The flavors were spot on and the sauce was killer! This is a really cute restaurant with friendly customer service. The waitress checked on me multiple times and made sure my water was always at least half full. The ambiance was warn and reflective of Japanese culture. Parking is plentiful as the restaurant is pretty much on its own lot. read more

My family and I love this restaurant it has always been a tradition that on our family birthdays we eat here I love their food here are some of the great things I recommend Chicken Fried Rice, Yum Yum Noodles, Hibachi Chicken, and another thing that is pretty good and fun about this restaurant is that you get to watch them cook in front of you and a the chefs are always funny and kind the also have really great service and they always are good at cooking and the waitresses are awesome and very passionate with patience I love going to this restaurant another thing I love is that they're is a little like indoor lake we're there is fish that most kids really love it so I would love if you ate here and I love everything about this restaurant it's service it's food everything read more

Fuji Steakhouse - This is a photo of me and my family that I love so much - Japanese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Very good experience. Engaging cook but not obnoxious. Food was good. Soup was delicious.

Group fun together for a nice meal! Party of 12 gathered together to enjoy a meal together. We placed our orders and the chef came out with a ton of ingredients and cooked everything table side! I was impressed at how they knew how much of each item ordered to bring. Items cooked table-side include fried rice, noodles, veggies, steak, chicken, shrimp, scallops, octopus, and lobster. If too much of something was cooked the chef simply offered others that did not order the item to have some. Thanks for a fun time! read more

Fuji Steakhouse - Table side cooking, FIRE!!!! - Japanese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Worst experience we have ever had here. Restaurant was crowded so you expect service to be a little slow. Even so our waiter was pleasant and efficient. Chef was awful. He gave a serving of rice to a woman up the line that did not order. So our end of the table was shorted. He dropped utensils. Not a great show of skill in the pre meal show off faze. Average at best. read more

We've been coming here for weeks now and continue to have great food, amazing service and a the prices are just right. We sit at the bar almost every time unless a group beats us to it. They have restricted the seating for now. I'd highly recommend their sushi options and they have an amazing 50% off sushi deal on Monday's and Tuesdays. Nice relaxing open bar atmosphere. Go enjoy the bar and great sushi. read more

Worst experience! Food was bland, no shrimp app, and up charge for everything. Food was being served before soup came out and then had to ask for salad which came close to the end of the meal. The chef barely said anything. Greeted us when he arrived and one other time. We even tried engaging him with the kids but nothing. read more

Pass! What a joke this place is! It's dirty, the menus and the tables were sticky and gross. Asked the waitress like 5 times if the Spicy Chicken had any vegetables. She swore up and down it didn't. Kids sushi came and the about 20 minutes later the spicy chicken comes and it has vegetables. She says oh I guess I was wrong. So we said we asked because he doesn't eat mushrooms. She said she would fix it. A fork dropped on the table and the manager came over and asked why we were angry and why we were "throwing forks". I told him that wasn't the case at all. 20 more minutes and the spicy chicken comes out. Waitress then tries to tell us that it's our fault because we should have told her he has an allergy. He doesn't have an allergy. He doesn't eat them which is why we asked repeatedly if she was sure. But now the customer is wrong and we are accused of being violent. Absolutely insane. read more

Great hibachi restaurant reminiscent of Beni Hana. Great sushi, hibachi grill food and atmosphere. Very affordable. read more

Only ordered take out and it was amazing so i can't wait to go back and try it fresh! I got steak and chicken and both tasted great! The veggies were cooked well ! Only gave 4 starts because I said no mushrooms and those babies were everywhere. The yumyum sauce, on point! read more

Fuji Steakhouse - a tray of rice and a container of chicken - Japanese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Eastgate has a plethora of dinner options, but many of them are chains. You're not going to get many different options outside of a casual steakhouse or wing joint. Fuji Steakhouse decided to buck the trend and open up a Benihana style restaurant with a separate dining room smack dab in the middle of suburbia - and boy am I glad they did! Fuji is a large restaurant that is housed in the old Damon's. I remember Damon's fondly from my childhood. There was a large dining area with four tiers that faced our toward three large screens. Walking into Fuji, you wouldn't even know it. It's an even ground restaurant with three areas. There's a sushi bar, teppanyaki tables, and a classic restaurant seating area. Truth be told, I'm not a big fan of Benihana-style restaurants. I don't need dinner and a show. I'm very easily amused. You can put a bowl of popcorn in my face and I will entertain myself. There will be no popcorn left and I will be happy. Anyhoo, I prefer eating in the traditional dining area. They have a large area for a sit-down lunch and dinner. I prefer their booths. It's set up to be very intimate with ornate Oriental style flooring and walls. The seating is perfect for a date night, or if you're planning on feasting like I do and you don't want the rest of the restaurant to see the fatassery that's going on at your table. I order the same dish every damn time. I order different types of sushi depending on what I'm feeling, but I also always (ALWAYS!) order yum yum noodles. To this day I cannot tell you what yum yum sauce is. I had a roommate for two years that faithfully kept the stuff in the fridge and I never bothered to ask what the ingredients were. I pass by the yum yum sauce aisle in Jungle Jim's frequently but I never stop to look at the back of a label. Just as the world may never know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, I may never figure out what makes up yum yum sauce. Truthfully, I don't care. What I do know is that the yum yum noodles are beyond delectable. It's the perfect combination of sweet and savory. It's umami level. The very first time I came here my friend insisted I order them. The friendship eventually ended but at least I got some kickass noods out of it, ya know? Eastgate is an area that I try to go in and out of. There's not much to see unless you enjoy being hassled by teenagers or accidentally running into the nearest retirement party. You can count on three things for Eastgate to do well: groceries (Jungle Jim's), nails (Fashion), and Asian cuisine (Fuji). read more

Fuji Steakhouse - Yum yum noodles & lobster roll - Japanese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I have never been inside of here, except to pick up a doordash order so I can't speak to the inside. However, if you get takeout the food is always fresh and delicious. They give very good portions when you do doordash orders and take it home. The soup, salad, and the hibachi is all super good here! read more

We've been here before and the food is good. Tonight we tried to go for my daughter's birthday. It's the one place she wanted to go. We get there and there's a sign on the door that says that the grill area is closed as of 5pm for a private party. The dining room was still open, but who wants to go to a place like that and not sit at the grill? So now we are at another restaurant because our plans were thwarted by a private party. read more

Made reservations at 7:30. Showed up at 7:30 and saw a ton of people with 7:00PM reservations not seated. They had empty hibachi grills so must have been short help. There were a lot of very unhappy people. We were seated after a short while at a table not at a grill where we had a reservation, but it was obvious we would we waiting awhile. We never saw a waiter or waitress and just walked out. We saw the people beside us had not even received water. This was our first and last time going there. We will stick with Benihana. read more

It's Christmas-time so I'm being generous by giving Fuji Steakhouse two paltry stars. Slow service. Mediocre food. Oh, and the plastic plates, culled from the shelves of the nearest Goodwill, that they provided to us as an afterthought for our appetizers...really? read more

This was our first time here and it is now our favorite restaurant! Angela is such an amazing sever! She was so so busy but we were still very well taken care of and she was just adorable and sweet. We've been talking about how much we loved her so I decided to leave a review. I believe the young lady wearing a pink blazer was a manager but she was so sweet as well! The food was absolutely phenomenal. 5 stars all across the board. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! read more

The food good but it was overwhelming dirty. The floors were disgusting and everything was sticky, it definitely made question how clean the kitchen was. Half priced sushi was really good but I don't think we would ever get raw fish from here. Our sushi came out last, 20 minutes after our meal which was a bit frustrating and it wasn't really that busy. read more

I stop by here about once a month and always go for the sushi. It is always fresh and properly made. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend. read more

This place is a rip off never will be dining in again They kept charging me for food I didn't order and then tried to tell me a California roll was a spicy shrimp roll. Also took our server 45 minutes to come see us. read more

The sushi was some of the worst I've had in years. The fish was tough and didn't taste fresh. The salmon/shrimp hibachi was fine, but the udon noodles were lacking in flavor. Very disappointed. I will not be ordering from there again. read more

Absolutely horrible. Waited 30 min to even get our drinks when the place was not busy at all. Then when we finally got our food my steak was ok but that is it. Please do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else. There are plenty of the same options around that is a lot better with service and friendliness. Also, had dust falling from our light above the table. Truly a bad experience. read more

Fuji Steakhouse - a close up of a light fixture - Japanese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This is a nice Japanese steakhouse, although there were clearly some staffing issues on the night I went. I was seated by the same person who was the server who was the same person that cleaned our table. The "cooking show" was pretty abysmal - the chef was simply there to do his job. A solid 0 on entertainment, despite there being a few kids at our table. The food was pretty good, but I have definitely had better hibachi. Overall, I would stop by again if I were in the area, but would never go out of my way to eat here. Also, there is plenty of free parking in their dedicated parking lot. read more

The experience here varies based on the chef and wait staff, but for the most part it is always good. Tonight, I think the chef was new... Dinner was still good though. We all had filet and shrimp. Crunch roll. If you like mixed drinks, try a Mai-tai. read more

My husband and I went for first time. We were seated right away and had the hibachi... the food was fantastic, the server, Han and the Chef Yanto were both amazing and really enhanced our experience. The restaurant was clean and comfortable; highly recommend!! read more

I wish it was as good as we remembered. Stopped in with my family, ordered sushi and hibachi. The sushi tasted good though didn't hold tightly together. The hibachi was not as good we remembered from our last visit, which was well over a year ago. read more

Two words: FOOD POISONING!!! Complete waste of $82 worth of 'food' last night. Never again!

Good food as always. I've been coming here for years. It was very fun and entertaining especially when you sit at the hibachi. They have a small fish pound. And we can feed the fish, but we need to ask the hostess to get some fish food. read more

Had a great experience here and went with the hibachi option! Only complaint would be the little bit of wait to put in our order but other than that it was great. Food was great!! And staff was very friendly. read more

I'm a big fan of Fuji Steak House in Florence, particularly their sushi. It was refreshing to see a Japanese restaurant open for Eastsiders too. The outside of the restaurant does not do it justice. This building has been various BBQ joints in the past, and the exterior depicts that. Inside, however, is beautifully decorated with oriental themes and is very clean. Then the experience gets...interesting. As my family and I entered the restaurant, we were greeted by 1999 Britney Spears music but with Japanese vocals. Then the Hibachi chef arrived. He did the expected entertainment: playing with fire, juggling the kitchen tools, etc. Then he made an onion volcano, with flames rocketing into the air. Suddenly, he pulls out a little plastic man and presses on his head. The toy pulls down it's pants and pees water on the onion volcano. The chef says, "Wee, wee, wee!" as he squirts both the fire and the customers. While the food is good, the restaurant is clearly marketed to a rural clientele who are likely experiencing their first Japanese restaurant. Urban folks and sushi aficionados will likely find Eastgate Fuji to be tacky. Price per person: $20.00 read more
