We celebrated our anniversary at Fujiyama and had a wonderful experience…read more The food was excellent, and the portions were very generous. The prices were right in line with what you'd expect for a hibachi restaurant, so we felt we got great value for the money. I also appreciated that they serve drinks in large soda cups--a small touch, but one I really liked. The service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely polite from start to finish. Our hibachi chef was funny, engaging, and did a great job with both the cooking and the entertainment. He made our anniversary dinner even more enjoyable. The only thing that surprised me was how empty the restaurant was. After our experience, I honestly think they deserve more business. If you're looking for good hibachi in Salinas with generous portions, solid prices, and excellent service, I'd definitely recommend giving Fujiyama a try. We'll absolutely be back!

The rolls are delicious, the miso soup is flavorful, and the salad is always crisp with the most tasty salad dressing. I also tied the tempura and it's perfectly crispy and crunchy! Everything tastes fresh every time! The staff is friendly, attentive, and the food comes out quickly. The vibe is low key with low lit lighting and dark decor. My go to items are the mango bomb, crunch roll, teriyaki roll, veggie tempura, and veggie tempura roll. I like to mix things up and order the salmon teriyaki lunch box. Overall, the sushi is tasty, they have generous portions, fast service, and consistently great food. I will continue coming back!

I'll admit I'm not the most adventurous person on the menu--I pretty much always order the lunch…read morespecial teriyaki chicken. That said, it's consistently excellent every time I visit. The portion sizes are huge, and the value for the price is hard to beat. I lived in Seattle for a large part of my life, where teriyaki is everywhere, and I've spent years trying to find something that comes close. This restaurant is about as close as I've found. The chicken is flavorful, the sauce is just right, and it really satisfies that Seattle-style teriyaki craving. It's also served with miso soup, that I generally don't eat. It's a bit salty for my taste. The restaurant is usually pretty busy, which is always a good sign, but it's also consistently clean and well maintained. The servers are friendly and welcoming every time I've been in. They're not overly attentive, but if you need something, it's easy enough to get their attention and they're happy to help. Between the generous portions, fair prices, good food, and friendly service, this has become one of my favorite lunch spots. I'll definitely keep coming back

Lots of options to choose from as the menu itself already provides an abundance of items, but there is an extended menu of more specials and sushi rolls posted on the walls all around the restaurant. We shared the Street Fighter Roll, the Sushi Combo - Samurai, and I had a side salad and miso soup. I would agree with some of the other reviews here that the sashimi was fresh and the cuts were generous. I also appreciate how the sushi rice ratio wasn't an overkill so we were able to enjoy more of the sashimi and sushi toppings. Would definitely return to try other menu items!

The portions were huge -- I saved about half the meat and made rice at home for another meal. My friend got the Alaskan roll with a generous amount of salmon, fresh avocado, and a good rice-to-filling ratio. We also tried the sushi tacos with poke and rice in a crispy seaweed shell - super big and filling, and delicious We got lucky with street parking. There was a bit of a wait, but we walked around and checked out some nearby shops. There are also benches out front if you want to sit while you wait. Definitely give this place a try!

We have been here multiple times and really enjoy their food and their excellent service. I've…read morenever seen OKONOMIYAKI on a menu in a Japanese restaurant. Maybe I missed it but I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've seen it. They don't always have it so ask your waitress if they do before ordering. It is such a delicious rich and savory dish. It's filled with eggs, green onions, sometimes bacon, flour, cornstarch, corn, Dashie powder, reconstituted, and cabbage all mixed together into a thick batter that becomes a thick pancake. Browned on both sides. It's served with two or three different sauces- cutie mayonnaise, OKONOMIYAKI sauce, a sweet teriyaki thick sauce and topped with Bonita flakes. One pan cake is enough to serve two or three people as an appetizer. It's a treat. $8 Their Agedashi is excellent! I order this at every Japanese restaurant that I go to that has it on the menu. It is one of my very favorites. Here they have nice bite-size squares of firm tofu dipped in cornstarch and deep fried quickly just enough to make them piping hot and super crispy on the outside then served in a Dashie sauce topped with green onions and Bonita flakes. Because the tofu is so hot the Bonita flakes start to wave around and it's always been fascinating to watch this as we enjoy the dish itself. It's also a good dish to take to go because it's easy to reheat at home. $8.25. The crispy and crunchy combo tempura as an appetizer for $10 is also delicious in its simplicity and perfection. The Avo Mango Roll $ 9.95 has avocado, mango, nuts. It's light fruity and savory at the same time and the nuts are macadamia nuts, which add a really nice crunch to it. They have pages and pages of different sushi, sashimi and rolls. Some are simple some are very complex. It really depends on what your taste and what flavors you're looking for. Everything we've tried on several visits there have been fresh and outstanding. Their bento boxes $17-25 ($10 for kids bento) are huge. With miso soup salad rice your protein of choice ( the Katsu pork is outstanding and really holds up well to reheating at home). You also get tempura and a couple of pieces of roll with your bento box. My favorite however for just how beautiful it looks, and how light and delicious it is, is the Futo Maki $11.25 tamago, avocado, cucumber, gobo, shiitake, kampyo, oshinko. When you look at the roll itself, it's beautifully organized inside, very artistically arranged, and appealing to the eye. The first bite into it gives you a little bit of each ingredient and together they make for a very good imaginary trip to Japan. My only complaint about this restaurant is that it is so consistently good whether we eat in or have it delivered by DoorDash that we totally over order and end up with so much food! Lol. We always get a side serving of a large hot saki and a large Sapporo beer to wash it all down with. Add a wakame salad and we are good $5.50. Service is excellent and attentive. The place is very busy, but usually you're able to get a table fairly easily. Our tab is usually about $100 plus tip because we order so much!

I assume he was on drugs because he licking his lips and his eyes were weird... but 90$ for rude service and food wasn't tasty and honestly we didn't try it because we aren't sure what they were capable of on the food. Jim was also a worker there and was giving same attitude and honestly all I wanted was to try new food and to have good experience. I know should've ask for refund but I'm sure they need the money more than I do. I'm a server myself and I know restaurant industry standards and this was beyond unacceptable and unprofessional.

Sarku had the longest line of customers, which was honestly what gave me the vote of confidence to try it, but once I started eating, I realized that must have been because it was located in a prime location of the food court! For example, the salad was pulled straight out of a newly-opened plastic bag. It was some kind of spring mix. There was no washing, no tossing, and no dressing. It was just a handful of dry leaves placed on my paper tray. That wouldn't have been too terrible if everything else had flavor, but alas, that wasn't the case. We had to go back to the counter in search for packets of sauce...any sauce. The "teriyaki chicken" was "just chicken". There was minimal teriyaki flavor and pretty dry. The rice was cooked well though, so that was good. The dumplings were crispy and dry. In any case, my daughter and I were hungry and still ate most of it. Our favorite items were drinks from a juice cart down the hall though. Sorry, Sarku!
