I had the spicy tuna and tuna lovers rolls. They were both very good, and a good price point.

We visited this establishment last night after reading the reviews - boy was that a bad decision.

TL;DR:
Spent the night and half the day today feeling unwell and made the bathroom our temporary nest.

The Good:
Friendly staff.
The chef was very entertaining and polite.
That’s where the good ends, unfortunately.

The Bad, the Ugly, and Straight-Up Horror:
When we went in around 8, they told us to wait until they cleaned up the hibachi table that had just opened since it would take too long for a clean hibachi table to warm up. No problem.

While they were clearing the table, I noticed them repeatedly going to a bucket that was sitting on the floor to rinse out the rag they used to clean the table. I have no clue how long that bucket of water had been sitting there, but they rinsed the same rag a few times and continued wiping down the table.

The party that used the same table before us had a bunch of food all over the table, so I’m not sure how much of that food ended up at the bottom of the bucket. No other cleaning supplies or rag changes were part of that process, just one rag and the same bucket of water.

That should have been the red flag that made us walk out, but we were young and naive.

They used the same bucket of water to clear the next table as well. Not sure if the same rag made an appearance.

The food tasted pretty good and didn’t smell or have any noticeable issues while we were eating. Our toddler started getting fussy, so we boxed it up and dropped off our goddaughter before heading home. We all live only 5-8 mins from the restaurant, and we ate our boxed up food as soon as we got home. So I know it couldn’t have spoiled during the short trip home.

Not only did my wife and I feel unwell, but so did our goddaughter, whom we picked up on the way to the restaurant. If it were just people from one household, I would have probably chalked it up to something else and wouldn’t have bothered leaving a review. However, since 3 people from 2 different households got sick and the only common denominator was this restaurant, I am inclined to believe this establishment was the cause.

I will also be contacting the health department so they can take a closer look at their cleaning practices.

The chicken Teriyaki is excellent, with quality vegetables, and you can substitute the white rice for fried rice which is very traditional.

Today is the first time my mom and I ate here. Very friendly staff and helpful while we were making our choices. Our lunch included chicken, fried rice, clear soup, and salad. All of it was delicious! We will go back. I highly recommend Mt.Fuji!

Excellent food and excellent service! The main dish is large enough to feed two people (or two meals for one person). The staff are very considerate and have take home boxes for leftovers (and mine fit perfectly into a gallon sized freezer bag).

It's decent, I mean if I'm going to go get this kind of food what I do is normally go where they cook on your table. Otherwise I'll just get the stuff at Walmart so I mean it's not that the store is better that the food is bad it's just not really my cup of tea if I'm going to get that kind of food I'm going to do it the right way

Fantastic date night spot highly highly recommend. The food is on par, they've got a wonderful drink selection, and a very attentive staff. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing, first date here was amazing. Try the sake next time you go and get you some sushi.

Fantastic food, and food comes at exceptionally fast. Servers are great too! Overall, this place honestly might be the best hibachi I’ve had everything considered.

Walked in to have a quick lunch while I was out from work and stopped in since it's been nearly 5 or more years from the last time I've had their food. Still great hibachi, wish it wasn't so awkward in there while I awaited my order. Felt like I was being an inconvenience on their time, but glad I got to have some hibachi today on such a rainy day.
