    Sashimi deluxe
    Lisa C.

    In my opinion, this is the best sushi in the Evansville area. The sushi and sashimi were very fresh. There were six of us so we ordered a variety of rolls and the sashimi deluxe so we could try different items. We each started with the Treasure Salad which I highly recommend. The staff was working hard to take care of both dine-customers in and take out orders. The menu has unique special rolls which are very good. Also recommend the Bob Roll. Our server was very attentive and took great care of us. All staff members were working hard and I could tell that all customers were treated well. We had a great time eating here! Will be back to enjoy more sushi. We were thanked for eating at Fujiyama.

    We had really amazing service and excellent rolls. They are generous on their spicy Mayo and we weren't waiting too long either.

    Good food, big portions. The fried squid appetizer was super good because it was tender and crispy & not overly fried & oily. My only gripe was I got the teriyaki shrimp dinner bento & I guess I missed the part where rice wasn't included. It was extra for a bowl of rice. What kind of Asian restaurant doesn't include rice with an entree??? Asian people need rice with an entree! The sushi was delicious. The lobster roll was good. I'm going to keep on trying different rolls when I go.

    The salmon

    I've ordered from Fuji Yama twice. Both times have been during the covid shut down so I can't comment on the table service or anything like that, although the same woman was at the counter both times and she was very friendly. The food was ready at the specified time both times as well. The first time I ordered the teriyaki chicken dinner and it was good. Food was tasty and still hot when I got it home, which tells me it hadn't been sitting out for too long like at some places that tell you a time then finish it much sooner. Last night I ordered a rainbow roll. The first piece I bit into (one with white fish) had a bone in it. I was disappointed but spit the bone out and kept eating. The tuna tasted funny, and tuna is usually one of my favorites. As I was about to eat a piece with salmon the salmon fell off the top of the roll when I saw that the underside of the fish was grey and filmy. I turned on a brighter light to get a better look and sure enough, even the top of all pieces of salmon was too pale to be good. At that point I decided the sushi was not safe to eat and threw the rest away. I would go back here for cooked food if it was my only option, but with so many other options in town I'd rather avoid a place that gave me unsafe food altogether.

    Located in a somewhat rundown strip mall. I may have missed it if I didn't have GPS  direct me.

    This is my 3rd year going to Evansville for an annual training. I discovered an amazing Japanese restaurant last year. Decided to try somewhere different this time to familiarize myself with the variety this little town offers. Prior to arriving I saw this place offered one of my favorite dishes (Katsudon), a pork cutlet with donburi base over rice and and slightly scrambled egg poured on top. Onions don't like me but this item would be in serious trouble if it were missing so that's good. They were a bit too generous with their toasted sesame, which is not usually a topping on Katsudon so the taste of the sesame kind of overpowered the udon taste a few times. The portion size was actually perfect for my appetite so I left just full enough to feel satisfied but not like I needed to be rolled out to the car. It was not very crowded when I first arrived at 1230pm but tables were filling up as I was leaving. The plus on this is that it is opened past traditional Japanese restaurant hours which gave me the opportunity to take my time through my meal. I was greeted with a smile at the hostess stand and from what it seemed a family operation. Alas, no military discount but that's ok. My total bill was reasonable for my order. Would I go back?... likely only if their competition was gone and this was my alternative for katsudon. The establishment is pleasant. Just remember, I have extremely high expectations so that means it's not bad. This likely suits the locals tastes but not this discerning Asian ;)

    Bob roll and sunshine roll

    My favorite sushi spot in the area. Very reasonable pricing and delicious food all around. The fried rice is the best I've ever had. The service is always great although i usually get takeout. They are always very friendly.

With that, I have been surprised more times than not by trying these places. Not the case today. I ordered a simple hibachi steak and shrimp combo and a tako su app which is octopus. The salad was OK. The soup tasted watered down and poorly seasoned. The octopus was the game changer. I have eaten octopus my entire life and this was clearly previously frozen and aged out after thawing. It had a rancid smell and texture was hard, not chewy. They covered it in Ponzu to hide it but no amount of sauce could fix this. I took one bite and sent it back fearing I would risk food poisoning if I consumed it. Dinner came out and tbe portions were skimpy and the steak was overcooked. Rather than complain I thought I would cut my losses and simply not come back. Then the bill came and they left the rancid octopus on the check. I asked why and I was told the chef prepared it right so I would be billed. Had to get a manager involved to get it taken off. Serious disappointment with this place. If you come here, stick to common ingredients that turn over regularly because old spoiled food will find its way to your plate before it finds a trash can where it belongs.

However, their carryout service was really busy with people coming in and out. I ordered the Chicken Hibachi dinner. I wanted to compare it to other restaurants that offer this dish. It's served with a clear soup and green salad, vegetables and fried rice. I didn't like the soup but the salad was very tasty. The serving of chicken and rice was ample. I even took some home which is rare for me. The vegetables were delicious, the fried rice was tasty and the chicken was seasoned well. It was a good dinner, but just not as good as the places I usually get this meal. My husband got the sushi and was disappointed. He found it pretty bland, when it was suppose to be a spicy dish, and didn't like how the fish was cut up. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. The server was attentive. Since it was hard to hear our conversation due to the TV, I asked her to turn it down and she did. That is a pet peeve of mine. Unless you are in a bar, I don't know why TVs need to be in restaurants. It's a good restaurant, but it didn't meet my expectations.

We went at 6pm on a Tuesday and we were the only people there to eat. No one at any tables, no one at hibachi. We were literally the only people there. We had hibachi.
