“Just overall a beautiful place love comics here with my husband“

“Was my first time here and I will definitely be back! My friend and I only stopped in for appetizers and some sake but the service, atmosphere, and food was absolutely amazing. Looking forward to coming back for a more intimate occasion.“

“Kyoto's food is always consistent, tastes fresh, and priced well. The staff is always so nice and very knowledgeable about celiac. I took my son (14), and he ordered a specific roll. The waitress said that they switched to a different brand of seafood in that particular food option and wasn't positive it may still be gluten-free. 5 stars every time.“

“The food here is the 💣! My kids really enjoyed the food! 🍜 😋“

“The service the food and the atmosphere is all you could ever ask of a restaurant“

“Now - I passed this place every time I got my eyebrows done at Exquisite Threading. I heard this place was good and decided to go for my birthday. Seriously, I’m sooo glad I did. This food here is spectacular. We had the rock shrimp, crab cake, California roll, shumai shrimp dumplings, Wauwatosa roll and Jason roll. Everything was DELICIOUS! We went early on a Friday evening which was perfect. Around 6:30pm or so, this place gets super busy. I do understand why!!!! This place is incredible.“

“The best Takoyaki we've had since we had it in Osaka. Really delicious food!“

“Fujiyama is my absolute favorite Japanese restaurant! They have, in my opinion, the best sushi rolls and salmon sashimi, along with attentive service and delicious cocktails.

My favorite sushi roll is the Angry Dragon, which perfectly combines the sweetness of fruit with the crispiness of tempura shrimp, topped with a tasty mango sauce. For appetizers, the Crab Rangoon and Gyoza are my go-tos. The Crab Rangoon has a rich, authentic cream cheese flavor, unlike the artificial taste I’ve experienced at some other places. The sauce served with the gyoza is a hit with both my husband and me; we even use it with our sushi!

I’ve visited several times, and the cocktails recommended by the servers have always been great. My favorite is the Lychee Martini. It features lychee, a popular fruit in China that’s juicy and bouncy, and the drink has a unique tropical fruit flavor.

I haven’t tried much of the hibachi menu, but I did enjoy the Hibachi Chicken during their Monday and Tuesday specials. I love how they season their sauces.

The service here is very thoughtful. They provide warm towels for you to clean your hands, and there’s a surprise song and dessert for birthdays (although I haven’t celebrated mine here yet, the dessert looks amazing!). On my last visit, I accidentally left my phone behind, and a server even ran out into the rain to return it to me, which is why I’m able to write this review from my phone.

Fujiyama is a restaurant with a long history, and they continue to excel in everything they do.“

“I have been coming here for 10 + years. Me and my family are greeted and treated like royalty. Every thing I have had is excellent. My favorite is the rainbow shredded duck. The specials on Monday and Tuesday are great and a good deal.“

“They have the best ramen that I have ever had. I don't eat pork, so it can be hard to find pork-free ramen that's flavorful. This bowl is so tasty on its own that you do not need to add any meat (or tofu) to it. I've ordered other things, but usually wish I had just stuck with the ramen cuz it's that good. Unless you can stand a lot of heat, go with the mild which is still pretty spicy. And I grew up eating Indian food, so heat is something I'm used to. And: Help support small businesses like Maki Yaki during this difficult time! You can get the ramen as take out...“

“Went here for our anniversary. Had a wonderful time and our chef was very entertaining and humorous. Staff was very attentive and made sure everything was to our satisfaction. The food was delicious, and the experience unforgettable. Prices were reasonable, and portions plentiful. Definitely coming back!“

“Never disappoints, been going to this place for years everything is amazing from the food to the staff“

“I said I’d never eat sushi until I tried it for the first time at Katsuya in Studio City. I fell in love with the crispy rice tuna tartare 😋🍱 Until I had it at Wasabi!!! Things will never be the same. No restaurant can make it better!!! The Cali Crunch roll is a close second. This is hands down THE ONLY place I will eat sushi. The staff is amazing and we love to celebrate special occasions here🫶🏼🎊“
