Manahawkin Fuji72 Hibachi & Sushi

DEFINITELY SKIP THIS PLACE

FOOD - the food was just straight awful. I gave them a second chance and it was even worse. VERY LOW QUALITY INGREDIENTS. Did not taste fresh at all. The shrimp was gross and rubbery. The chicken was so badly overcooked that it was actually inedible. We tried multiple different dishes and every single one was just bad.

MENU - prices were actually higher than other hibachi places that are quality so for the food being terrible the prices are way high. Nothing special or exciting on the menu and the hibachi is not worth it. The sushi is gross

SERVICE - not good service either unfortunately. I brought back my entire meal uneaten to show how disgusting it was and they acted as if it happens all the time but would not refund it.
It was clear that the Cooks clearly are not skilled at all.

ATMOSPHERE - place is big the hibachi tables are ok but they lose excitement because food is not cooked well. Plenty of parking

Always very reliable, great hibachi, and one of my favorite birthday songs if it’s your birthday!

Great sushi!!! And reasonable prices.

Very disappointing

EXCELLENT sushi. Great service. Nice people. I highly recommend Fuji 72.

I’ve never felt so rushed in a restaurant in my life. We ate at 7 pm on a Tuesday in a party of 8 in a half empty restaurant yet we were pressured to order, soup and salad came out immediately after ordering and were cold, hibachi chef came out immediately after receiving them. The chef made the food and we barely took a bite before boxes were thrown at us. Unable to enjoy our meal and there was an automatic gratuity of 18% added due to our party size which normally I don’t mind but this service did not deserve that.

If i can give this review a 0 that’s what it would be! The customer service was awful to begin with. No manager on duty to take care of these ridiculous employees. Plans were ruined was held up for an extra 30min because i didn’t want to pay an extensive amount of money for a tip. This is just ridiculous; I could tell i was being insulted in a different language. All i can say is avoid this place unless you have another alternative.

Didn’t like how me and my mom got stop over something stupid I tips the chef some reason they wanted more for the waiter when I legit barely saw my waiter felt embarrassment front everyone basically bills was 60 dollars give chef 10 dollars got force give 20 dollar for waiter I barely saw they stop me give more so basically spend 90 dollars honestly don’t go to this place they try force you double tips

Excellent fresh Susi

The food is very good here but they are pretty mean! Lol it was with good though. We chose to sit at the non habatchi side for the first time and were amazed at how quick the service was.

Food is good but we had 7 people and they tried to squeeze 2 others on our table. Left us with no room. The party of 2 got up.

Cooks are talented and good foods.

A friend and I decided to try Fuji 72 Hibachi. We were seated immediately. It was a large seating area around the Hibachi cooking area. There was a family of 4 seated already. They placed us all together all on one side and corner. So much room, but not for us. The chef was great. We gave him 20.00 tip. Why? He was great and the food was great. This is where the greatness ended. We had two people that appeared to be servers. The young man came by for drinks in the beginning and again at the end of the dinner to get the bill. The woman gave us our salad and soup. Halfway through the hibachi show she took the soup and salads away. My friend was not done, she reached completely over me when no one was on the other side of my friend to get her uneaten salad. Didn't even ask of she was done, just took my dishes and put on top of the untouched salad. Now, once the chef was done with the show and handing out the food, the woman returned giving us our to-go boxes. Then she returns almost immediately with the bills. I continued to eat since I just got my food from the chef and she comes back looking to take payment. She walked away with the other families bill and upon return checked for mine again. So I gave it to her. She returns very fast. I take my card and sign the receipt. The other family was leaving and said they have NEVER been so rushed out of a resturant before. My friend was leaving a cash tip and didn't have a chance to reach into her wallet and the woman comes back and takes the check. Opens the folder and turns to us and says ... Tip? We said that we are leaving cash tip. She puts the bill folder back on the table and walks away. Now we gave the chef 20. We put 5 in her bill folder due to the lack of customer service and not letting us actually eat. But the total tip for the night was 25.00 on a 75.00 bill. Once my friend put the 5 in the bill folder, the young man came back and opened it, took out the 5.00 and turned to us questioning the tip. We told him that is it. He gives it to the previous woman who Now gets some other woman, maybe a supervisor. She stops us when we were leaving, shows us the bill with the tip percentage. We told her we tipped the chef directly. That is the servers tip. She attempted to continue the discussion, but we left. Final assessment: Good food, Horrible and very rude service. Takeout may be better. Never going back for resturant. It would be 1 star if it was not for the chef.

good food, small annoyance is the birthday song that plays often on busy nights

Great sushi and hibachi!

Get takeout a few times a year. Food is good and fresh.
