Terrible experience, won't go back first off stood at reception being ignored for sometime before anyone asked if I was there to eat. Second, if you don't have a party of 4 or more forget the hibachi table, they refuse to seat you. Now to the seat I did get resembled a lunch counter minus the stools, chairs were put along the length maybe 8 total, I sat down in front of a worker assembling salads or some side dish for the other patrons now this counter was right at the end of 3 tables, with not a lot of room between it and the other tables. The ummm host sat me right in the middle of it, sort of threw a menu down and left. A few min later a waitress appeared to my left and tried to walk behind me to one of the tables, when she discovered she couldn't get through she looks at me and says you move down into the corner. My reply was you don't have any tables I can sit at? At which she replied no,no...no table. The only thing I moved was my ass outta there. Rudeness abounds!and be prepared to pay top dollar for seafood $42 for shrimp lobster scallop plate read more

This is our go-to restaurant in Pottstown. We frequent this place at least once a month. The staff is warm, inviting and always so friendly. We have not tried the hibachi portion of the restaurant because we crave their sushi. We never leave this place without having their fuji volcano- this is an 8-piece spicy crabmeat roll with a nice salad tossed with tuna piece; and their half-way house roll. These are two must haves when you visit this place. Pricing is very good for the quantity you receive. We're "VIP" members, for a one time $5 fee, you get perks of a certain percentage off, free ice cream on your birthday and once you spend a certain amount, you get a gift certificate back - check back of menu for details. Must try if you live in Pottstown! read more

Don't be so easily impressed. Fujiyama is probably one of the better sushi houses in the area. But really, that's not saying too much. I won't go into a full menu breakdown, but I've been primarily disappointed by the lack of freshness. Some of the appetizers definitely taste frozen or packaged. The fish itself has been okay, but I think the quality is far less than what I might find at an average sushi house in center city Philly. Fujiyama also suffers from a bloated menu. Almost every restaurant that has a menu with 50+ choices could never maintain quality and freshness. It's just not possible in most cases. And that is true here as well. The walk-in and kitchen are only so big. Guaranteed there are frozen items here and they are just re-heating them. I think of things like crab wontons and dumplings. If you can't make it fresh, take it off the menu. As for cleanliness, the restaurant could use a good detail cleaning. There is no in between, it's either clean or it's not. Another area that could be improved is creativity. Again, with so many items on the menu, everything tastes similar. In a pinch I might go here, but I'd probably just do without.

I mean it's ok hibachi, not terrible not the best. What kills me about this place is the price. One would assume you were either eating in NYC or you were getting twice as much food as you actually get. Portions are just so small and every extra charge is just too much. I'm local but for me, I'll stick to Valley Forge Hibachi. So much better and cheaper too. read more

Great hibachi experience. The food was good and reasonably priced. Also live music and nice deck and view upstairs read more

We went for the sushi and everything was fresh and delicious. Even though they could have used more staff the service was excellent.

My family went there for the first time and we enjoyed it. We were not familiar sushi or hibachi and they really helped us out. Our waitress was very friendly and the environment was very nice. The only thing I was not a fan over was the price of our bill when it came. I think they were on the more expensive side and that is why they did not get a 5 star from me. read more

Service wasn't bad, it was non-existent. Food was extremely salty and everything was overpriced. I could go on, but I won't. That view from the deck is amazing though! read more

I have never in my life, came on to this app to write a bad review. After what restaurants have had deal with through covid I really always try to give them the benefit of doubt. But I have never experienced something so insane coming from a family who owns multiple restaurants. It was the Worst experience ever! Upon arrive the owner was extremely rude to my family and I. While taking our order he was getting very frustrated with us. We asked to get salmon and fried rice to go. The chef put the salmon and fried rice on my moms plate, not telling her it was the to go order. My mom split the fried rice with my friend. When we were about to leave we asked for the fried rice to go. The owner came over and screamed at us saying we ate it. We did not want to pay for two fried rices when we asked for one to go. The owner got extremely violent and hit my mom in the arm and grabbed her purse telling her to pay. As my sisters started to cry she took us out of the restaurant to calm us down. While my friend was inside paying the owner and his wife came out chasing us telling us we needed to pay, meanwhile my friend was inside paying. We had to call the police and report the harassment. Never going back ever. I hope this owner never speaks to a women or touch a women ever again. read more

Really great food. Staff is really nice & funny. Had a great time with family & friends. Nice upstairs for larger parties.

Vegans.... stay away! We were 2 of a party of 15 or so. as Vegans we ordered the vegetarian entree (12.95, or 13.95 depending on what page of the menu you are looking at. Chef came in with rice, pasta and mixed veggies. Fried all of them and everybody got some of the pasta, rice(with eggs) and veggies. I got about 3 oz of pasta and 2 oz of veggies. I also got a glass of water. Of course I did not take the rice, had only pasta and veggies.Then he started cooking the meat. By then I was done with my pasta and veggies. I also got 4 small pieces of tofu. Nothing else. My wife did not get any better food. They replenished my water 3 times. While my plate was about 18 inches in diameter, only a couple of inches were used. Next, we got the bill for $29 We paid and walked out. I was still very hungry. Frank G read more

I love Fujiyama - I either eat in or get take out probably 3 times a month. It's my place to go if I want to get dinner with friends, or just have a glass of wine after work. I will admit that service can be slow, but I'll take that because the food is always amazing. I've gotten the Salmon Hibachi, pretty much every house specialty roll, and most of the appetizers. The Baked Salmon roll is awesome, the Halfway House roll is spicy and delicious. I always have a hard time choosing what to get. If they could just get that service going, it would be a top-notch place. I'm really pleased that it's in the area and I do what I can to keep it in business. Also, even though service can be slow - everyone is very nice there - very welcoming and it's a very friendly atmosphere. It also has very flattering lighting if you want to go there on a date :) And the fried ice cream is pretty wonderful. read more

Love the sashimi and the hibachi veg. Great live music upstairs. http://www.pottstownprovisions.com/2014/07/fujiyama-japanese-steakhouse.html read more

Average at best. Place seemed dirty/dusty. My first drink had a floater in it. Owner didn't honor our coupon. The chef was the highlight. Very entertaining and the food seemed fresh. read more

Awesome hibachi and sushi. I love their rainbow roll. Their speciality rolls are decently sized. Some hibachi chefs are more animated than others but can't go wrong. Seafood hibachi items are fresh and delicious. Definitely on the more upscale side for Pottstown but good choice for special celebrations like birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Their portions have gotten smaller since they first opened but you still receive a generous amount of food. read more

The food was great and the chef at the hibachi table was entertaining. They have a wide variety of food selections. I got the steak but others got shrimp and chicken. Everything looked tasty!! read more

I'll start by saying good food. BUT..... HORRIBLE management, would talk to me when I ask to speak to the manager and wouldn't accept a valid coupon. Lost a customer while poor service read more

Very enjoyable - love the upstairs area way quieter. Too many children downstairs a lot of the time. Food is delicious and saki is good. Would like to see more beer and wine options read more

Coming from someone who's had sushi in some shady spots this has to be some of the poorest quality sushi I've eaten. From the stale rice to the fish that put a bad taste in my mouth and made my girlfriend sick. This sushi is made with no love. read more

We went to Fujiyama on New Years eve. So we expected a crowd. Our reservations were at 8pm , we were not seated until 9pm. We we not out onto almost 11. Not a bad place for being in Pottstown. OK probably the best in Pottstown. read more

Really good hibachi! They have a huge selection and each meal comes with soup and salad. Cheap beer, not a good selection. Atmosphere could use some updating but service was good. read more

If I could give this review 0 stars I would, and it pains me to have to say that because it's one of my family's fave places to go... There were 6-7 of us, and we had a reservation for 7pm on 11/16, and didn't get sat at our table until 7:15. They were busy, being that it was a Friday night, and that's understandable. My issue is the lack of communication and regard for the fact that my family and I were sitting there for 15 minutes after our reservation. What's the point of a reservation if I have to wait an additional 15 minutes for my table, and you're not even the least bit apologetic! Moving on... they didn't even take drinks orders until 8:15 (a whole hour later!), which means we didn't actually get the drinks until 8:30. And it gets better... they didn't start preparing our food until 8:35, so now we're talking about an hour and a half after arriving. To top it off, the hibachi grill broke, so they had to use another one, causing even more of a delay. Now, like I said earlier, I understand them being busy and I get that stuff happens, but COMMUNICATION IS KEY! Say something! Apologize! We got nothing. So of course we complained; who wouldn't when you feel there's a huge lack of customer service?! We had spent about $200 since there was such a large group, and we honestly felt like we should've been compensated for something since we had to deal with all of this nonsense. And we're not the type to normally do that, we usually just keep it moving, but this experience was beyond disappointing. They gave us $10 off our bill. $10??? I don't mean to sound ungrateful but that's it?? And you didn't even have the decency to apologize (face palm). We hate that it had to come to this because we really like(d) this place, but I think it's a wrap.... *shrugs and sighs* read more

I was visiting and my friend took me here. I thought it was good. I have high standards from being from the bay area but this was pretty good. The workers had a great attitude and the guy who did our hibachi was a fun and great character. I just wished they had a better selection of sushi rolls. read more

Wow! JUST WOW! This is honestly the BEST HIBACHI IVE EVER BEEN TO. Just went to Benihana yesterday and Fujiyama blew them out of the water. No matter how many times i go i never get sick of this place. Great service, entertaining hibachi chefs, and TASTY FOOD! I have yet to find a better hibachi restaurant on this planet. Prices are also very reasonable. I LOVE FUJIYAMA!!!!! :) read more

I really like this place. Despite some reviews complaining of price, it's actually quite reasonable as compared to other Japanese restaurants. You should expect it to be an experience and not a quick bite. Food is good, you will be satisfied. read more

Decent, the sushi is so-so, nothing special or different. I wish they had a better selection of rolls. Hibachi is good, nice portions, not overly salted and the veggies are usually still crisp. read more

We came here as my going away dinner before I move. I was happily impressed by the food and service. I highly recommend coming here if you like hibachi. The waitress was super nice and gave me two soups because I don't like salad. read more

My wife and I have eaten at Fujiyama three times and each time the food was very good. My wife normally orders a traditional Japanese dinner and I prefer the sushi. The food is fresh and I feel that you get a nice size portion. My only complaints are 1) the service is extremely slow and 2) I was surprised when we were charged for each soda. Overall, we have enjoyed the food and hopefully they will work on the service. read more

A long time fan of the hibachi steak & sushi establishment, I was not disappointed at this offering. I tested the waters with the steak and scallops and it was cooked to perfection. The showmanship of the hibachi chef was not as good as a Benihanna, but he was personable. I look forward to sampling thier sushi menu next time I visit. read more

Food is wonderful. The staff is friendly and the historical building is beautiful. Only complaint is it takes a long time to get your food. Don't go if you are in a hurry. read more

Unimpressed! First ordered drinks. Very small, and didn't have makers mark (ran out) so I ordered a margarita and told the owner how to make it, terrible!!! I think he forgot to put the tequila in it, so I ordered a shot... Not much improvement to whatever he made. Finally got my food, but never got the soup or salad prior, since the food came out first you'd think it would be hot, right??? No! Cold food! Although it taste ok, it was a sloppy mess of food all slopped together and juices of everything mixing together. Didn't care for all flavored to marry. Fist time there and I guess it will be our last. Sad! I wish it would have been amazing! I thought it would. read more

Made reservations for 7pm on a Saturday. We were sat at 7:15 and no one showed up at the grill for 10 minutes until they came to move us to another grill where again no one showed up--no offer for drinks, no greeting. Never going back. I wish there was a zero star. read more

We went to Fujiyama last night for the first time. We had a wonderful dinner and the prices were reasonable. The service was a little slow but it allowed time to relax - something you don't often get to do in "American" restaurants. The hibachi chefs were entertaining. We also had a sushi appetizer and it was AMAZING! I will be going back to try more off their sushi menu. I ordered the chicken and shrimp hibachi. The shrimp was wonderful but my chicken was a little dry. My husbands steak was very moist and tender. Next time I will choose the steak. Overall we had a great experience and plan to go back! read more

Not a lot of business during the week for hibachi but we were pleasanty surprised. Great secret and definitely will go back! Food tasted great, ample portions. Definitely recommend. read more

A pleasant surprise awaited us at Fujiyama. We haven't visited this location since it was the old Halfway House, many years ago. Our party of 8 consisted of Japanese-food veterans and new soon-to-be devotees. We sat at the hibachi grill and we not disappointed with the experience, from the soup and salad starters to the variety of tasty entrees our talented chef deftly prepared for our ravenous party. We tried a number of the hibachi entrees from seafood to chicken to steak and and we were pleased with the overall quality and taste of the food. The hostess and wait staff were genial and efficient. The saki was good and the wines were acceptable. We had a great time and we recommend this dining oasis in a region overloaded with tacky sports bars, same-old franchises, and pizzerias. Go to Fujiyama for a great time and wonderful food. read more

Fun environment with good food and a very good staff. Perfect for a big group or special event. The take out is nice too.

We were going to try this place but service was horrendous. After being seated at a table no one even looked at us for 20 minutes so we left. Will stay with Sakura which always have good food and excellent service. read more

In 3 weekend visits, the food has been B-. Sushi could have been fresher on a Saturday night. Service was slow due to crowd, but very attentive. Serves alcohol which makes this a better social joint than meal only establishment. We like going here to hang out a bit. read more
