We have been going to the Olympia Fujiyama for years. The Hibachi is always entertaining with the Chef cooking at a grill at your table. Dinners range from $15 to $25 Unfortunately, the quality of the food changes with the Hibachi chef, today the grill was too hot and the eggs burnt slightly, instead of the chef recooking, he just...

Went to have dinner, decided to try their happy hour first, very disappointed! We were the only ones in there and the service was terrible as in slow!!! We were able to see into the restaurant area where a couple chefs were putting on "the show" as they tossed knives, etc., Personally I want to just order my dinner and... More

I know it was Valentine's Day and, therefore, very crowded, but I sure wish we had not had to wait over 1 hour after we got in our seats for the dinner prep to start. Our chef Christian was terrific and the food was very good. I did like the food so much, though, that we will go back on... More

We had an Office Christmas party here and it was great fun. The food was excellent but the entertaining chef was really fabulous. The very fresh food is prepared right in front of you and the chef really engages the dinner party.

Unlike my experience a year ago, my party of 12 visited on a very busy Saturday night. We have quite an assortment of hibatchi dinners, to include steak and chicken, salmon, vegetable, steak and shrimp, and steak and scallops. The freshness of the seafood was excellent, not overcooked, as is typical in some seafood resturants. The staff was effecient and... More

Food quality is outstanding as always. Server was attentive and non intrusive. Wide variety of choices on the menu, although the list of available sake and alcoholic beverages could be more extensive. Only 3 chef's on hand when we went in for dinner but food quality made the wait worth it. Very sparse decorations, even for a Japanese steakhouse. Most... More

This was one of the most terrible meals I have ever had at a restaurant. My girlfriend and I opted for a regular meal instead of the "Benihana" experience, and perhaps that was our mistake. My gut reaction was to walk out and I should've listened to that voice. We ordered the steak and shrimp hibachi for two. The steak... More

My kids love Fujiyama, and the fact that they are entertained while we eat is a bonus. The food isn't amazing, but it is pretty good. We've tried some of the appetizers, but the Hibachi is what they do best and I'd stick to that.

This was our first visit to Fujiyama, and we were impressed. We have eaten at the Benihana chain when we lived in CA quite often and we weren't sure how it would compare. We were pleasantly surprised! We had the lobster and it was fantastic! The service was excellent, and so was our chef. He put on a better show... More
