The food here was amazing. There was a great show from the chef as he made the food and the drinks were made to perfection. This is one of the best Hibachi restaurants in all of NJ. read more

Fujiyama Mama - Hibachi chicken, shrimp, rice and vegetables. - Japanese Near Me - Westfield, New Jersey

Once upon a time, Fujiyama was my go-to for AYCE sushi. They used to have great daily deals and even better food, especially during lunch or happy hour. Sadly, not only has the quality reduced to barely edible, they have also decreased in portion while increasing in price. How disappointing!! At first, I thought maybe it was a bad night. But every time can't be an off night, not for me. The service is the same. They don't 'bother' or disturb you too much, but someone is usually need if you need something. It looks a little run down these days, despite the increase in price, everything else seems to be going down. Maybe they will revamp and do better. I'll stick around Yelp to find out, because otherwise, I will never know. read more

Birthday celebration with about 20 guests. We were seated immediately. Service was a little a slow even though it was a little busy. It seemed they were short staffed. They definitely need to update the interior. Other than that the food was pretty good. Nice place for groups. read more

Too much love for Fujiyama Mama to not write an update every 2 years or so. Another girl's night nearby, another massive sushi order. Edamame and seaweed salad were perfect sides to pick on. The Dragon roll is one of my go tos because I don't think you can go wrong with eel. It was delicious as always. The Perfect Naruto Roll might be a new favorite to add to the list. Loved that it was almost entirely different types of fish and no rice. It was a nice change from the other rolls. We also go the Hanky Panky roll that I will need to remember to reorder as well, and a classic salmon roll. Everything was delicious and filling and perfect even the next day. Thanks for another wonderful meal! read more

Very disappointed. Food was just ok. But the biggest problem was they seated us at 7:00 pm and we did not get a chef until after 8:00 pm. Also no one came to check on us that entire time while we sat at the table. Looks like they only had two chefs to work the entire restaurant. Appears to be poorly manage and understaffed. read more

This place has a great happy hour! The drinks were fantastic. The service was not great but not bad either. The menu was extensive in almost an overwhelming way (think Cheesecake Factory book). I did love that the rolls were named after NJ towns. I ordered a handful of different rolls and dumplings and everything was decent. I also ordered a hibachi meal which was just ok. The prices were very reasonable. I wouldn't categorize this as a go-to place but I would definitely go back here for happy hour and sushi again. read more

This used to be my go to for sushi. Ordered my usual and it just didn't taste the same. I did not have the appetite I did before. The fish did taste fresh. Maybe just an off night for me! read more

Ordered 2 sushi roll lunch special for $13. I selected Boston roll and shrimp tempura roll. Both were fresh, good tasting and ready on time. They were small so I'd get the 3 roll special so you aren't starving. Wouldn't be my first choice for the area but it's conveniently located with lots of parking. read more

Not bad. Came here because I wanted sushi, but also a full bar. This place sits within a shopping complex, so there's plenty of parking. The staff was quick & courteous. We had the Sho Chiku Bai sake (cold), & Honeydew Bubble Tea. Sushi wise, we had the Fast & Furious, My Best Friend, Rocket Fuel, Hanky Panky, & Lobster Dragon rolls. All were very good. This is a quick & easy place to go. Again, the rolls were very good, but at the same time nothing to make me wanna rush back. Will I go back? Sure, but not a place to draw me back quickly. I'd honestly like to give them 3 1/2 stars to indicate my feelings of the sushi being good, but not having that "Wow" factor **UPDATE** I have now been here twice, & I have concluded that I do not like this place. I went twice, tried to give them a chance, but twice I have been seriously underwhelmed by the lack luster & honestly, flavorless sushi that doesn't seem fresh. The interior also needs some updating & cleaning. It made other members in our party feel uneasy like it was, quote, "dirty." You can read my other reviews to find Beyer sushi places. read more

Fujiyama Mama, has a great lunch special with discounted drinks and food. I have been here many times. Well, my waitress didn't know who Wanda Jackson is, her service was exemplary. I would say the entire staff is very attentive and make for a good experience. I always go for the same lunch salmon teriyaki Bento box, it comes with shrimp shumai, miso soup and a salad. (Under $15) five dollar pints of Sapporo beer an excellent deal. They close from 3 PM to 4:30 PM. read more

Weekly customer for years now. Love the sushi. A lot of specialty rolls are fun and delicious. Noodles, rice and chicken satay are also great. read more

Great service and entertaining hibachi staff. Hibachi portions are relatively large so you'll probably have some to take home for a late night snack. Interior is nicely decorated and they have an attractive sushi bar as well. read more

The hibachi and sushi rolls in this place are the best in town! With a typical asian ambience and decor, FM is a family-friendly environment with a budget-friendly menu. Unfortunately the "hibachi show" isn't even close to the best I've seen, but the chefs' more than make up for that in savory and sizeable portions of their preparations. FM provides regulat seating for just menu ordering of meals and combinations of meals with sushi rolls... or hibachi table group seating. Servers and staff are friendly and the dining room environment is clean and comfortable. FYI - Good options for vegans and vegetarians are available as well. read more

This place has been my go to sushi place for years. When you arrive you get to pick between sushi or hibachi. I always go with sushi. Despite it getting busy sometimes, you're always seated fairly quickly without any real wait. You're given many options of drinks and appetizers to choose from. I always get the dinosaur egg but anytime that I have switched it up, I've never been disappointed. Your food is brought to you in a timely manner. The restaurant features decoration paying homage to japan, making you feel as if you got to visit. I can't wait to go back! read more

I only has the pepper tuna appetizer and it was just ok. This place used to be the place to go to but it's not the same anymore. Needs updating and needs a lot of cleaning. The sushi coolers were a mess!! And it was very hot inside. read more

went in there tonight for the first time in a really long time. We order delivery of their sushi often which is always really good. However, the hibachi tonight was unsatisfactory. The hibachi chef was totally disinterested. It was SUPPOSED to be a special occasion for my daughter's 10th birthday but he was so lame, uninterested or engaging. It was embarrassing. The service was not great although the woman brought ring drinks relatively fast. The restaurant at 7:30 was deserted. The woman at the register/hostess said "you're early" The decor was terrible. Old, boxes and tables shoved into a corner on the way to the bathroom, not particularly clean, the word that comes to mind is "mankey". It used to be a hotspot for hibachi, but it's definitely passed its prime and passed the current owners concern. read more

I ordered from Fujiyama Mama from UberEats and had a positive experience. I scheduled my order in advance and it came within the window I selected. I'd say the maki rolls were pretty good for the value - a good fish and avocado ratio to rice. I wasn't very fond of their shrimp tempura roll, though, because the batter seemed a bit over cooked. The Alaskan roll was interesting - they used smoked salmon (as advertised on the menu) instead of regular raw salmon, which I think I prefer. The beef satay was quite good - the sauce had some coconut flavor to it, not just the standard peanut sauce you usually would get. Overall, good stuff! read more

Since the joys of COVID have me locked down at home, I order from here quite regularly to get my sushi fix. Out of all the other local spots that deliver, Fujiyama Mama is the freshest by far, quickly becoming my go to spot to order. Their Love Boat for 2 is a great special and glutenous for two. Reminds me of being finally being back at a sushi buffet but with better quality fish. I highly recommend this spot to fulfill that sushi craving! read more

Amazing sushi. Always fresh. Rolls perfectly tight. Generous portions. Highly recommended

It's been a few years since I have been here, but we went yesterday for hibachi and sushi. I couldn't believe how small the hibachi portions were. I got chicken and shrimp hibachi and I got 4 shrimp and less than 4oz of chicken. My son and husband got steak and shrimp and the steak was so thin that even when the chef cut it in cubes it was less than the size of my hand, and I have small hands. We also ordered sushi as an appetizer and my husband was so sick once we got home. I didn't get the spicy tuna like he did so I felt fine. He said it tasted off but he still ate it. Just disappointed since we used to come here all the time. The place would be packed no matter what time of day you came. I was surprised to see only 5 tables and now I feel I understand why. I won't be going back. read more

August 18, 2020 - Still no indoor dining due to Covid-19 restrictions, however, there is outdoor seating for customers who want to sit and relax. This is my first time here and I loved the customer service. Everyone seemed to be following CDC protocols and maintained distance and sanitized as needed. Our waitress was also super friendly and explained to me their menu and lunch specials for the day. Unfortunately, because of the restrictions, the hibachi was closed, but their great tasting sushi made up for it! read more

I've been to this place a bunch of times for hibachi and also sushi. I'll say a few things. They have an extensive list of drinks that are very interesting. Their sushi is decent - I always get the vegetarian rolls - avocado and sweet potato rolls however my husband has gotten other rolls and he has had no complaints. The hibachi has gone down hill over the years. There services used to be more consistent among the chefs however they are not anymore. The last time I went I was very disappointed as the chef cooked the noodles and the rice within 2-3 mins and put it on our plates - lacking garlic and sauces that make those 2 dishes. I have had better experiences here with other chefs though but the inconsistency is not worth it when you just want a good meal! Go if you want to take a gamble. If not I would look into a different hibachi spot. read more

Saw many positive reviews and many more recent negative ones , but I thought just maybe we can have a great time, celebrate my son's 15th birthday, doing what he loves to do, every year and it's to try a new Hibachi restaurant the night before his birthday for dinner. Deep sigh... yeah I should of believed the negative reviews. First off, the seating is way too tight. Like seriously there is no need for me to sit this close to anyone, especially another family dining next to us. The plates are huge, sitting that close to others is not socially distancing at all which is what the signs State around the restaurant. I had the Spider roll, it was so warm, I was so disgusted. Who serves warm rolls, No chop sticks offered, no dipping saucer for soy sauce. They didn't offer any water, but made it clear not once or twice but three times to my 5 year old that there were "no free refills on the drinks". The chef was very high energy, but the food was just not enough. The ultimate zero star for me was for the scene they tried to cause when I was charged for the birthday boy, whom they proceeded to ask him for ID. I called the restaurant twice the week of our reservation and told them it was a birthday celebration for my 15 year old. She said the dinner for him would be free as long as we purchased four meals. That's fine we were a party of 5. Not once did she tell me he needed an ID card to prove his birthday. Yet, the waiter who brought the bill was very adamant that he needed an ID. She was so rude, and almost disgusted that I told her, Unfortunately he didn't have one, but luckily, I had his birth certificate on my phone. But just so embarrassing to be treated like that. Especially after they put the happy birthday song on and gave him cake and ice cream, (that they didn't charge for.) and Especially after the group of 10 sitting across from us were celebrating a birthday and didn't have to deal with this. I don't know. I usually don't complain. I'm not interested in eating at this restaurant ever again. I didn't even take any photos or videos. The vibes were not good. The food servings are very little, very little. I've never left a hibachi restaurant and still be hungry. read more

Beer was warm, service was very prompt and friendly, and ambiance was good. However, I just ordered a special roll - the Mars roll and not only was it half the size of the special rolls it had less than half the fish on it. What's more it didn't even have tuna on it as pictured and described on the menu. The menu picture shows a large diameter roll with both a nice piece of red tuna and a nice piece of orange salmon wrapped around each piece. What was delivered was a california roll size of 8 pieces with a single sliver of fish on each piece. Four were old salmon and four were some pink fish. I should have sent it back right away. The Bento Box lunch was pretty good. We liked the salads and the beef negamaki. read more

Great, great, great! Whether hibachi at hibachi tables, sushi, or both! Great place with great service.

This is absolutely the WORST sushi I have ever tasted in my life. I had two bites of the fishiest warmest rolls you can imagine, followed by a disgusting doughey "spring roll" although calling this a spring roll is a stretch of the imagination. I literally spit this food out of my mouth- something I have NEVER done. In addition, the customer service was awful- the manager did nothing to rectify the situation (although honestly nothing could be done). The person who initially answered the phone hung up on me twice, and then neglected to mute the phone while she snarkily reported my complaint to the manager. I would steer clear away from this place considering there are much better options for sushi in the area. Tried something different and it was a total fail. read more

Love the tako su, octopus- they always slice thinly! No complaints & great in correcting orders, fast too

My first time here. My daughter brought us here today. I ordered scotchplains roll, cranfroll and funky monkey sushi. My wife ordered Shrimp Tempura. Funky Monkey has banana on it, soooo goood! Both rolls taste amazing. Tried my wife's Tempura, crunchy and huge shrimps. Moderately quiet here during Sunday lunch. Servers are very helpful and accommodating. Clean separate Men and Women's bathroom. No problem in car parking. Great place to eat. read more

Usually I'm happy with this place but today we ordered sushi and every dish with avocado was disappointing-- the avocado was overripe, suitable for guacamole but not to be served fresh. Hopefully this was just a fluke. read more

I've been to many different sushi places and none of them beat Fujiyama Mama, their sushi and hibachi are both great and never disappoint! Not to mention, the service is pretty good too as the waiters/waitresses always have a smile on their faces! Definitely would recommend this place to someone who's never tried it! read more

Sewage stench as we ate...very disgusting. If you must come here avoid sitting near the kitchen. You will vomit. This place needs a visit from food inspectors asap! read more

We have been coming back here frequently and had no complaints about the taste of the food or the service but today, 7/9/20201, we had a late lunch and ordered the special, knock your socks off-- among other things, and the taste was terribly off. The tempura was obviously old, not crunchy, tasted stale, and the rice wrapped inside the roll was noticeably harder. The service was good but the special roll wasn't as special at all--at least for this visit. I'm sure freshness is a premium but the restaurant should ensure that the food is fresh at all times. read more

I get hibachi at least twice a year and every time they cook in front of us I'm always amazed. I got the dinner special which included a salad, miso soup, steak, shrimp, fried rice or noodles, and ice cream. Good dinner value for what you're paying for and experiencing and the green tea ice cream really hit the spot. They have other options for non-hibachi or sushi but if you're getting hibachi it's definitely worth it! read more

Literally the best sushi I've ever tried! I've been going there for the past 5 years. Not only service that is great there but the food itself is outstanding!

I love this place it keeps pulling me back. They do everything right. From keeping their sushi 1/2 price mon thru thurs. The service is always very good, and friendly. It's a comfortable place, reminds me of my favorite pair of shoes I have to keep wearing that same pair! The sushi is always fresh and plenty to choose from. The salads are delicious. A warm bowl of miso soup is always good on a cold day. The hot green tea well you know that's just plain good for you.
