Now with more room... less smoke from the grills and modern furniture! Yes folks Fujiyama has been through an extensive makeover with a sleek, yet modern look... as if they chose the best feng shui furniture from IKEA.
No more bridge to cross, no more gigantic open space with little to no seating. It's all new and fresh. Oh... and the food is still great! Love the sushi.
My mom and I play a game where whoever has to use the bathroom first has to pay the bill...if you know what I mean. Don't let that stop you though because their food is GREAT and well worth the horrible flatulence that comes with it. (Am I allowed to say that? Oh well. It might just be our bodies it affects.)
Having lived in Beech Grove my entire life, I know what's good around here. This is one of the few places that someone might decide to take a trip to good ol' Beech Grove for.
It is expensive, but it's also an experience. You're having a homemade meal cooked in front of you, awesome! The chefs are good-humored and have amazing knife skills. My brother had his first experience there and he was in awe. From the shrimp in the hat trick to the onion volcano, it's great for kids.
They recently renovated the place and removed the Koi pond/bridge *tear* but the modern feel it has is also very cool.
My favorite meal is the Shogun Dinner with steak and chicken!
We only had sushi here. The table right next to us had a teppanyaki/hibachi and the show/chefs seems to be decent. The service was excellent. My hubby had the playboy roll and loved it. I like the crunch roll as well. However, I didn't like the Kona, Philly roll and California Hand Roll. Will I ever go back to this place? Sure...If it's close and convenient. But will I drive to come here all the way from say Carmel or Zionsville... Probably not.
Review Source:I go here with my wife when we are in the mood for Sushi but don't have a Franklin to blow at Sensu. It's a really nice local grill with all the usual foods and foolery you would expect from this kind of establishment. The waiters and cooks are all good spirited and great with the kids. The food is decent with the chicken being the star of the menu in my opinion. The steak and shrimp are also decent and satisfying. The usual flavors are all there and they present it well.
The sushi is slightly above average with all the most popular rolls on the menu; California, shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, and the rest. They recently came out with a crusty crab roll in an effort to emulate the dishes success at Sensu. It is very good in its own right but far far away from the orgasmic flavor created at Sensu.
Bottom Line: Great place for Sushi and Asian if you desire to stay local. It hits the spot just right on a rainy night and the staff is fantastic. The drinks and are also quite good and you might consider simply setting at the Sushi Bar and watching TV if you don't want to make a complete night of it.
This should really be zero stars.
Service is quite good. Â However, that's not a good enough reason to go to a restaurant. Â Salmon was just short of the consistency of cardboard, scallops were quite tender because they were half raw. Â Shrimp were not de-veined. Â The hibachi "chef" managed to get everything stuck to the stove and had to scrape it off. Â Then he doused everything very generously in soy sauce, so food on the plate was swimming in it. Â Predominant tastes were salt and charcoal. Â Rice was dry.
Good thing we didn't try their sushi...
Oh, and the the hibachi "performance" is quite pathetic.
At the same time prices are comparable to any first-class japanese place anywhere (at least in the Midwest).
This is my family's favorite go-to for special occasions. The hibachi chefs are entertaining and very good at their jobs. The waitresses manage to work around the chefs using clever tricks and nimble feet. My wife and I always order sushi and it comes out fresh and well presented. Our 8- and 9-year-old sons enjoy the fun atmosphere and the unique sense of humor displayed by the chefs.
Review Source:What I like about Fujiyama is that it FEELS local. Which is what you don't get at Benihana. The show is the same at each of these, and the food is great. The chefs they have on staff seem to truly enjoy their jobs, and extending themselves to the diners to make a pleasant experience. And they REALLY step it up if you bring a group. It's a mainstay for our repertoire on the southside!
Review Source:I don't normally go out for sushi in the Indy area, but this place definitely didn't disappoint. Â They have some pretty interesting sushi rolls, including "Burning Passion Roll" and "Kona Roll". Â The Kona Roll was great and had a nice flavor combination with shrimp tempura, mango, and cream cheese. Â Service was fast and friendly. Â If you're in the area, stop by for some delicious and pretty affordable sushi.
Review Source:I visited for a mid-week lunch with co-workers. We were seated at a grill with some regulars who were a lot of fun to listen to during our meal. The decor of the place seems like a hibachi grill that maybe had its heyday about 15 years ago. It's clean and it's nice, but something about it just seems a little old, almost like an older casino in Vegas. I got the teriyaki chicken which included miso soup, a salad with decent but kinda weird dressing (like a weird 1000 island), and the protein with fried rice. Our chef was skilled and cooked everything well and it all tasted good. Not amazing or bad, just pretty good. I'm a fan of Benihana and this place was similar obviously. I wondered how a $9 lunch would compare to a $20 dinner plate, and the difference in quality and taste actually does show through, so that's interesting. I would definitely return to Fugiyama. It's a nice cozy place to spend a lunch hour, and ten bucks for lunch occasionally is fine for me if I get to watch a hibachi chef run through his hibachi schtick (I'm sorry but I laugh hysterically every time they roll the egg and say "japanese egg roll!" That shit is hilarious.)
Review Source:Went here for the first time this evening for sushi. Staff was very friendly and sushi was great! They feature half price happy hour sushi every Monday and Tuesday from 5-7 pm. Ten different rolls are available for half price, from your common California Roll to the more complex Temptation Roll (shrimp tempura, avocado & cream cheese tolled inside and topped with crab and more cheese).
The decor is drab and dated, but it is easy to overlook that based on the good food, friendly service and affordable prices. Will definitely be back here again for happy hour! :)
P.S. If the decor bothers you that much, you can also take advantage of the half price deal by ordering yours to go.
Took the family here for Habachi one night when we were desperate for something other than fast food in Franklin Township. Bad Idea!
There was a sign up front that advertised $9.95 chicken teriaki so I steered the kids that way. When the bill came, the total came to $15 per dinner. I brought this to the attention of the hostess and she said that they had forgotten to take the sign down after lunch hours(the sign did not referrence a lunch special). I had to pay the higher price and it was their mistake.
I wouldnt complain if the dinner was great. Really! But it wasnt.
Food was bland and they were stingy on veggies and rice. I guess what do I expect from chicken teriyaki.
Oh well, wont be back.
I go to Fujiyama for sushi quite often and love the food as well as the service. Â They have a small sushi counter, which seats about ten people at a time. Â I have never eaten at the hibachi grills they have, but I am more interested in the sushi!
 Each time we visit, we are greeted by very attentive servers and very knowledgeable sushi chefs.  Their sushi is always fresh, always carefully and artfully crafted upon order.  The seaweed salad is wonderful and flavorfully balanced, not too pickled like some places!  Also, their squid salad is fresh and light.
 We always have a wonderful selection of sushi rolls as well as nigiri and the service staff is great.  My favorite sushi is ikura, and they always have it in stock and very fresh.  They usually have price specials throughout the week, so that is also a bonus!  Plus, many websites including <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcoupons4indy.com&s=2b42714faf0eda76e0b1a5a750476f4aabe796b73acba432829bc9a0b20d57fa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://coupons4indy.com</a> contain coupons for Fujiyama!
 The sushi at Fujiyama is always fresh and the staff and Fujiyama is always great.  Definitely worth visiting!
I know..I know..why would I go here when I just had amazing Japanese food in New York? My coworker saw it there off the highway when we were starving and looking for food and I just said, ok.
I was hoping you could get meals and not just the teppanyaki, but unfortunately it's that or sushi. I got the "lunch special" for $12.99 it's chicken and steak, fried rice, and veggies..I use the term veggies loosely though because it was only onion and zucchini. What a RIP-OFF!
The service was fine, and fortunately the cook didn't go all out trying to make it into a show, he just did the egg trick only, no onion choo-choo train or any of the other typical stuff.
The steak and chicken were actually ok, not salty or dried out at all. I would give it 3 stars if they could throw some mushrooms, carrots, etc on there with the vegetables. Plus I wish they could get rid of the muzak. ugh.
