Manahawkin Fuji72 Hibachi & Sushi

Best hibachi in Monmouth or Ocean County in my book. Consistently great food. We can BYOB, too. I could do without 9 happy birthday songs during a busy dinner rush, but I’m usually too busy using my chopsticks on the noodles to notice.
If you want very good tasting hibachi and sushi, with a better than average hibachi chef, this is your place. Reservations are good but we have rarely had to wait too long.

Consistently good food and friendly staff. We done both lunch and dinner there, which is a great value

The food was brought to us too quickly. Barely had time to finish the salad and soup. Hibatchi filet mignon was not cooked enough, very chewy. Rice and noodles didn't have much flavor.

No longer what they used to be...Service was horrible and the food was equally bad. The filet mignon was chewy. The fried rice had no flavor. This experience was based on Hibachi.

I call 40 minutes before they close and the lady tall me they’re close because nobody it’s there how it’s that my problem if that it’s the case don’t put that they close at 10 if they don’t close at the time they say

the absolute worst service ever. not only has this happened to me, but also many of my friends. we put down a %16 percent tip and the server told us that it wasn't enough and that we need to tip more. they are lucky that we tipped at all after she bent over and scribbled out the tip and wrote a higher number.

First and last time visiting this place. From the very beginning, the experience was unpleasant. Even though we were the first customers as soon as the establishment opened, we were greeted with a negative attitude. The food was just “okay,” nothing special for the prices they charge.

The worst part was the staff’s behavior. The servers seemed to be hovering, waiting for tips. My son left a reasonable tip for the chef, and even after paying a $70 bill for only two people, we were stopped in front of all the customers so they could demand more tips, while the servers stared at us and talked among themselves. It was truly embarrassing and completely unprofessional. In the end, my son ended up giving three times more than he should have just to avoid further discomfort.

If you want to throw your money away, be publicly mistreated, and be served with attitude and zero professionalism for food that doesn’t even surpass the quality of a basic Chinese restaurant, then this place is for you. As for me, thank you… but there are far better places out there.

We were celebrating a bon voyage with 5 other friends. We waited a bit for our reserved hibachi table but not too long. We were started off with a house Japonese salad and a bowl of miso soup which was outstanding. I had a sushi sampler for an appetizer, the tuna was fresh and good. For our main meals we had the filet mignon, shrimp, chicken and fresh white tuna served in the standard hibachi style, complete with grilled vegetables and grilled rice with the whole typical hibachi chef show. Everyone seemed happy with their food with the shrimp maybe being the best, tuna was a bit overcooked. The place is quite loud during rush hour with people celebrating birthdays at almost every table. All in all a fine experience, pretty much what you would expect from these types of Japonese restaurants.
