Sushi is good. The hibachi chicken is not good. Comes with a piece of chicken sliced over raw veggies. Not a fan at all. read more

My son's 17th birthday is still a few more weeks away, but he asked to have his birthday dinner celebration today at Fujiyama. How could I refuse? We brought his girlfriend along and the food was amazing as always! The yum yum roll was absolutely to die for! read more

For lunch, my favorite husband (don't tell the others) and I stopped by Fujiyama for a little midday sushi date. The place was nearly empty--just us and two guys at the bar. The restaurant has a big open layout with a dark, mellow vibe. Think "sushi lounge meets introvert sanctuary." Not the most vibrant setting, but calming in a "maybe I'll take a nap after this" kind of way. Our server was friendly. Props to the kitchen, too; our food arrived almost before we had time to debate chopstick technique. We started with the oyster tempura. I adore oysters, but this one didn't win me over. The batter was too thick, too oily--more crunch than creature, sadly. I had the Sushi Lunch (5 pieces of sushi + a California roll) with a house salad that came enthusiastically dressed. Like, the salad was ready for prom. The sushi itself? Serviceable but unremarkable. My husband ordered the Sweet Potato Roll, Rainbow Roll, and Godzilla Roll--a solid trio on paper, but they all kind of blurred together in practice. Not bad, just... unmemorable. Would we return? Probably not. But if we do, I'd skip the sushi and give the hibachi a shot--maybe the grill brings the thrill this place is missing. read more

Fujiyama - 5 pcs sushi with California roll; Godzilla roll, rainbow roll, sweet potato roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Charleston, West Virginia

Fujiyama's is always a win. Every time I've come here, the food has been so good fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. The service is always amazing too. The staff are super friendly and give off such a good vibe, it really makes the whole experience even better. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful! The lighting sets a cozy, welcoming mood whether you're there for a chill meal or a date night. Honestly, it's just a great spot all around. Whether you're going alone or with someone. There's even a little romantic feel to it, which makes it extra nice. Definitely planning to come back again soon! read more

The worst place that we ever went. Ate at the grill. The lady did not bring out the soup and salad until we asked for it. She said we didn't ask for it. My husband brought me food home. no soup and salad. The chicken was dry and gross. She messed up on the paying , charged my cousin's credit card for everyone at the table and then could not put it back on her card. read more

I think their food is great, but it is way too overpriced, in my personal opinion. The interior is pretty, and the service is just fine.

Food was good, the speed of service was slow. A work holiday lunch, so there was a crowd, but it shouldn't take over an hour from time seated to begin the meal. They knew we were bringing a group. read more

Fuji used to be our go to for Hibachi style food. Our last experience has changed that for quite a while. The sushi came out last after asking 3 times and searching for the server after the chef had finished cooking. Refills were non existent, food was just ok. Probably gonna find another place for a while. read more

Best sushi place in Charleston. Service is very good, sushi is absolutely mouth watering, staff is very friendly! Will take all of my dates there moving forward lol read more

Cavernous eatery with plenty of seats for singles all the way up to your team's victory dinner. I sat at the bar, which provides a spot without all the brouhaha. Simple. After 8 hours on the road, a Tito's very dry martini was my number followed by a freshly rolled Fujiyama roll. While both were excellent, the roll was massive. I found the flavors began to muddle the longer I continued to eat. Less is more IMO. I left half of it on the plate--too much. I give a warm recommendation as they made my "Give 'em a whirl" list. Try 'em! read more

The food is always good. The service is always good. The general feel of the place is typical for a hibachi. It's exactly what you'd expect.

Excellent food. Polite and prompt service. Good value for take out or in person dining.

Food was excellent. I had the hibachi steak and my wife had seaweed salad and West Virginia roll. Portions and quality was good. Service was a little slow but they were crowded. read more

We we're seated immediately upon entering the establishment. The place was hardly occupied so I just knew that we would be in and out, but no! We sat there for 20 minutes unacknowledged while other tables got whatever service they needed. They weren't short staffed because there were 4/5 employees standing around the front and the hostess was playing on her phone. This is maybe the 3rd/4th visit here with consider subpar experience. The place is clean and well spaced out, however. read more

Great food. Friendly service. Of course I was there when it wasn't busy, but regardless. Most places like this do a pretty good job! Thanks for the meal read more

Doesn't look like much when you pass by but when you go inside it's beautiful. The place is nicely decorated, very well cleaned, and the bathrooms are very nice and clean as well. I got the lunch habachi with fried rice and onions along with the side salad. The food was delicious and very well priced. You get a lot for the price you pay. The server was super fast when coming to take our requests, when we asked for extra stuff he was super fast when getting it and taking it back to us. He was very friendly as was all the staff. I would recommend coming here if you haven't been and will be coming back again very soon. Thank you! read more

Food is amazing and service is even better! Hibachi chefs are amazing with my kids, great interaction and makes it fun for them!

Fantastic meal! My fiancé is gluten free and they took care of everything with no issues. Highly recommended.

Place was dirty. Service was super slow. Over two hours for a party of 6 at hibachi grill table. If you want this kind of place and atmosphere. Make the drive and find a Benihana. Steak was good tho. read more

Excellent service. Very entertaining Must tip food preparation and waiter Would return. Food excellent read more

Best sit down cook in front of you good Japanese food. Steak is normally tender. This is better tasting than the hibachi in cross lanes or South Charleston in my opinion. read more

Lucas was not eating as much as normal. Andrew was staring at food abnormally. I ate so much I thought I was gonna die. And Liam JUST GOT FRIES!!!! read more

Food is good and the prices you can't beat! My husband and I love to go there since the service is great and quick. He gets the chicken katsu which is always perfectly cooked and I always get the chicken fried rice and like to switch up my sushi rolls but I mainly stick to the West Virginia roll or the classic California roll. They treat their customers so well. From the food, the service and ambiance I would highly recommend going here! read more

I would give .5 of a star if I could. Lazy inattentive staff. Girl up front is just bad. read more

The food was really good, but the service was lacking. The sushi did come out relatively quick... follow up for drink refills was SLOW. All three who ordered hibachi really enjoyed it... the fried rice had a lot of flavor and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The hibachi chef was funny and friendly. read more

Stopped in for lunch and while my colleagues went for the fried rice and the steak hibachi bento box, I chose the sushi and sashimi combo lunch. It's supposed to come with either salad or miso soup, but I paid the upcharge to have both. Both were A-OK, the same as any I've had from other sushi places (maybe more tofu in the soup). The platter of fish arrived at the same time as the other entrees. Four pieces of sushi, four pieces of sashimi and a caliornia roll. Nothing special, but it was fresh and it was tasty and it was presented nicely. I wasn't blown away, but I wasn't disappointed. A-OK. read more

The food sucked... I ordered chicken hibachi and it came with shrimp... I cannot eat that... the shrimp was removed and the chicken tasted like seafood... the soup was so bad I gagged. Never eating here again. read more

Good food, friendly service and reasonable prices. Hibachi is available away from the grill if you wish.

I truly love Fujiyama. It's a regular lunch spot for me as I work in Kanawha City so I eat there 2-3 times a month. The servers have come to know my name and generally can guess what I want to order. Their combo lunch is a great deal, I'm a fan of the chicken and steak combo. Comes with a salad and fried or white rice. Their house salad dressing is very good. On this date I splurged for the filet and lobster teriyaki combo. The filet was excellent. Excellent all around restaurant with attentive servers. read more

In from out of town, looking for a quick lunch and less than 35min we were in and out the door. Ordered hibachi shrimp and hibachi chicken. We both requested fried rice, soup and salad. Nice presentation of food. Shrimp were a good size, grilled, could not pinpoint sauce but was lightly flavorful but would have tasted better had there been more. Shrimp was served with a side of vegetable mix of mushroom broccoli zucchini onion, seemed fresh and sizable. Fried rice made with light soy and egg no veggies added, great taste. Service was on point, fast and accommodating. Would definitely return. read more

We got takeout from this place, some sushi rolls, tempura veggies, steamed veggies, spring rolls and a noodle dish. Everything was super yummy and beautifully packed and presented. I would absolutely eat here again! read more

We had been here a few years ago during a family reunion. As we are here this time, we wanted something fresh and yet not far away. They were very good. Friendly people. The food was very good. read more

It's been a while since I did the Japanese Steakhouse thing. I must say the owners of Fujiyama really shelled out the bucks when they built this place in Kanawha City. Huge space with traditional grills and seating on one side and sushi bar with boats, I believe, on the other side. The grills are surrounded by nice granite countertops and seating is on high back barstools. Very comfortable with a great view of the chef's action as well as other diners tables. After ordering a round of drinks I opted to split the Hollywood sushi roll with my fellow diner. Meh, this roll was basically a California roll with cream cheese. Quite frankly, my local Harris Teeter does it better. Where the sushi lacked, our chef made up for it on the grill. Between our party we had steak, salmon, and lobster on the grill with fried rice, vegetables, and shrimp. After the obligatory entertainment including lighting up an onion volcano, our Chef pumped out some fluffy rice and tender veggies. The rice was a lot fluffier and less greasy than most that I've had and the veggies were cooked just right, not raw or soggy. All the proteins were well cooked too, and we shared among ourselves. My niece opted for the Bento box, and vetoed the shrimp and veggie tempura as too soggy. The kid is a foodie that has lived in Europe twice and traveled the world. I took her word for it. Please skip the tempura cheesecake, it's awful and cheesecake does not deserve such a fate. All in all, a mixed bag for my first visit in great setting with excellent service. Hope they can raise the bar, a bit, though. read more

Can't say I wasn't warned... absolutely terrible service. Slow as a slimy snail, rude, plus management does not honor the menu items or listed prices. The food was also below average and expensive for what you receive. If you know good Japanese food, do not visit. read more

Ate here again tonight- back by popular demand by the 11 and 8 year old. Comments form kids include get the fried rice and best sushi ever. Kids got hibachi chicken and chicken nuggets at house made. Good value for cost and very great service. Clearly, we came back! read more

Sushi is amazing! Hibachi meals are great. Always amazing quick service. My boyfriend and I come for lunch often and they know we have to hurry to get back to work and they always provide prompt excellent service. We love Fujiyama, best Asian restaurant in town. Top quality! read more

Don't be fooled by the borderline sketchy neighborhood, the sushi in this place can compete with the best in any trendy neighborhood. Fresh sushi. Creative and traditional rolls. Delicious marinades and sauces. And the Mixed Karachi is not to be missed! A fresh, succulent mix of fish in the chef's sweet, slightly spicy vinegar marinade. It's one of those dishes that made me close my eyes after I put it in my mouth and chew very, very slowly to savor the moment of tasting this perfect creation. They are reasonably priced and provided us with fast, friendly service for our pick-up order. I could tell they were also very thoughtful and concerned for our wellbeing as they were wearing face masks. read more

Went yesterday for lunch. We have been several times but this particular time the hostess was very rude. We asked for grill seating, the I went back to ask her why we couldn't sit at the grill and she walked us to the grill area. Then we ordered but after we ordered we were told that there was no lunch menu available yesterday . I'm guessing because of the holiday but I'm not really sure. The gentleman the cooked for us was amazing, very funny and great personality. Service was efficient but not friendly. Food was very quick and delicious read more

We love the place. Food is great and the service is outstanding! We are regulars there and always get treated the same way!

I've tried Fujiyama in Beckley before and loved it so, I thought I would give the one in Kanawha City a try. I'm glad I did! The sashimi was super good and fresh, the squid salad was amazing! read more
