I grew up going to this restaurant under previous ownership and the food quality was very different back then. Surprisingly, the atmosphere hasn't changed at all in the twenty years that passed since I last visited the space. I will say the service was fun and attentive. read more

This place is huge than what I expected. I walked in on a Sunday afternoon and the hostess attended us after a few mins wait. Most of the tables were empty and that got my eyes rolling. We got the cream cheese dumplings before we got to order the sushi. Then we ordered the basic Alaskan roll. (This was probably the best of all). We got a few speciality rolls as shown in the picture which tasted great but kinda felt too much crunches to go into a sushi deceiving the actual taste of the food. Overall, a nice place to try out. read more

We did hibachi here and the experience was horrible. Food was horrible - we order chicken, lamb and steak and they are all overcooked, stale, and underseasoned. Service is horrible - they left us alone for 30 min without anyone attending to us in a 50% empty restaurant. Ambiance horrible - we have groups of kids and teenagers and the chef at the next table spent 30 mins doing alcohol shots with a birthday party yelling lewd words. Everyone in that party was consuming alcohol shots so I'm seriously concerned for their road safety. Horrible food, horrible service, horrible culture. DO NOT COME HERE!!!! read more

Excellent! Food was great and service was too. Portions were large. Can't wait to go back! read more

I really can't say enough bad things about this place. It's old, run down, dirty, smelly and the hibachi isn't even yummy. The whole place needs a complete gut renovation or demolition. It's too bad because it's a good location and I love hibachi! The server was nice though but only took our order and we never saw him again- had to ask the hostess for the check. read more

Located behind Trader Joe's I believed this restaurant was closed there is empty beer cans in the landscaping around the restaurant and it's outside appearance is very run down. We ordered take out online two roll special and general tso chicken. We already paid or we may have turned around. The inside of the restaurant is about the same as the outside very run down and it was completely empty during lunch hour. The two rolls of yellow tail and tuna avocado were fine the miso soup tasted microwaved and the general tso chicken was chicken tenders rolled around in sauce. We were Not impressed and won't be back They do take credit card and have ample parking read more

went there on Sept 6th a Friday night after the Holiday weekend which would be normal dining season summer is over , kids back toy school... 1st Red Flag was pulled into parking lot and only 6 cars but continued on ... Walked into restaurant found it had a musky somewhat mildew smell , but could be the nice Koi Pond when you walk in...again continued on... Next thing I noticed it was completely empty , only 3 people sitting at a hibachi table... when you factor in this place is absolutely huge and has a lot of hibachi tables and it's empty... This is a Red Flag At this point we said could we sit at the bar , we were seated at the sushi bar... Which looked OK, we then proceeded to order drinks, while we decided if this is the place, we really wanted to eat ... I'm a Red Flag person And decided this was not the place we wanted to eat. My concern was the food, how old the and decided this was not the place we wanted to eat. My concern was the food how old the food may have been, considering the place was empty... So to be fair I did not try the food in this restaurant, so I cannot give an honest opinion basically I I am judging a book by its cover... There are no other current reviews on this restaurant. If someone would you post some thing about the food, I would consider trying it providing it was a good review... there was one more downside, considering how empty the place was it took an awful long time to get a drink, and even to get the bill to pay for the drink so we can leave... Oh, one other thing I did notice was there were many takeout orders on chairs for DELIVERY.... read more

Absolutely delicious food, portions were generous, and the meal was delicious! I got steak and shrimp hibachi: the shrimp was fresh, steak was cooked to perfection and incredibly tender, and the veggies that came with it were filled with flavor. I also got chicken and vegetable tempura and those were equally as amazing. The sides that came with my meal were not lacking either, I can't remember the last time I had a meal so unbelievably good. Thank you so much, you are my new go to spot! read more

Fun service/dining experience for young folks. Hibachi rice disappointing from past visits. Musty aroma when entering dining room. Fuji read more

First off they sat us in a nice quiet corner away from everyone which was greatly appreciated. They were very great hosts and very friendly. The food I will say is a little pricey. We also paid 8 for a cup of apple juice. I say a cup bc the serving size for the apple juice is like half of the size of the other drinks. We got the hibachi chicken and steak and I asked for my steak to be cooked very well done and they totally listened. The food was DELICIOUS!!! When you get your mea it doesn't look like enough noodles or rice but I promise you will have left overs!!! My new favorite hibachi place!!!!! read more

Missing part of our oder. Order 2 delx bento boxes gave good $$$ and all came in separately sloppy containers. The food was mostly bad Only thing tasted good was the stake. read more

The cooktop was dirty even after the chef "cleaned" it. We ordered a vegetarian meal - explained it was for a vegetarian- and instead of cooking that meal first, as the manager explained later should have been done, the chef cooked it with the meats - using the same utensils. The food was "ok" - veggies actually were tasty and my salmon was also good, but it is quite overpriced for the level of quality. I won't go here again. read more

We've visited several times and we're never disappointed with the food or service. The last two times, they had the same act (songs, jokes, etc) and this time around, we had nothing...barely any interaction except for two flame acts, a 5 second egg toss, and catching food. There were no jokes or laughs...it was very rushed. However, the food was good and the service again, was quick. We love the Scorpion bowl but I wasn't too impressed with their Thai Iced Tea. read more

FOOD POISONING BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! went there for my birthday and everything seemed nice and they even brought out ice cream science it was my birthday but everything was super oily and I got food poisoning from the scallops that I had and threw up a lot. For your health do not go here pick somewhere else. read more

Rating for takeout. Surprisingly, it's very good for takeout! The fried rice actually tastes good, no matter which size you get, which is weirdly rare in this area. The dishes are all priced I think reasonably, and there are more attractive options for sushi // appetizers than you usually get as well. I like to combine fried rice with boneless pork rib or tempura, and I've tried the sashimi lunch as well. Overall recommended over other takeout in the area. read more

The food here is very inconsistent. I don't eat sushi, so when we order takeout from here I usually go with the Sesame Chicken (a "must try" according to their menu). Last weekend when I ordered it, it was the best food I had had from there but last night's was terrible (chewy, overcooked, little meat, and an off the mark sauce). Have been ordering from here for the last 2-3 years and have noticed this fluctuation... read more

I've been here numerous times over the past 10 years and I'm never disappointed. Lunch specials are great. I usually stick to the same things cause they're so good!! I highly recommend the dynamite scallop appetizer and the stuff squid. Today I added beef & broccoli and grand mariner shrimp and I was not mad at all. Both dishes were really tasty. Great Groupon offers available too!! read more

Came for dinner on a Friday night and it was quiet in the dining room. Our waitress was prompt and friendly, helping us choose from an extensive menu of too many good options to count. I came for sushi and was not disappointed. The two house special rolls I ordered were amazing; fresh, flavorful and so filling. My husband had hibachi brought to the table. We loved the house cocktails we ordered to start and we had a lovely evening together. I will be back again and again. read more

Have ordered sushi from here twice and have really enjoyed it! There's a ton of variety in standard and special rolls. It's pretty reasonably priced for the area and very fresh. A great go to sushi takeout spot in Darien!! read more

I decided to give them another shot. I ordered food two hours ago. They literally never delivered my food. They closed and never delivered my food. read more

A platter of fresh, flavorful sashimi + a bowl of tangy, sticky sushi rice earned Fuji its four stars. We were a group of 7 in the tatami room- cozy but comfortable in a restaurant catering mostly to Hibachi lovers and pretty well ignored by run-of-the-mill sit-down diners. They piped in more-than-background-volume Enrique Iglesias to our private room, which we found pretty funny. Overall, the service was fine, the decor was very dated (who cares) and the fish i ordered was simple- hard to mess up- but veryy tastyyy. White tuna, salmon, toro, octopus.... Our waitress encouraged us to shout "Ramune!!" as we popped open our japanese "marble sodas" so... that was awesome. read more

Hibachi Sushiya - Sashimi deluxe - Sushi Bars Near Me - Darien, Connecticut

I don't even know where to start, I celebrated my sons 9th birthday and it was sooooo bad the waiters and the chefs super rude they didn't want to do an extra onion volcano for the birthday boy, the chef was talking really loud made tension at the table, didn't even make it fun, my son didn't receive a chefs hat for his birthday occasion like their online website said it would. Then they were super fast trying to kick us out every time we requested something they seemed angry and annoyed.. overall not a great experience hope that they fix this for the next person..but I will not be dinning here again...The food was ok, drinks were strong but over priced. read more

We've always had a great dine-in and takeout experience at Hibachi Sushiya. The sushi has always been fresh and we keep discovering new rolls we love. Our kids love the hibachi experience, and service is good too! 5 stars! read more

Definitely want to read this before going here... I figured a sushi place in Darien , especially with these prices, would have to be good...but I was wrong Food: Rice from hibachi was gummy and without flavor. Even though they were not busy at all, the server took so long to get the gluten free soy sauce that the chef went ahead and cooked the fried rice without it. Everything else was average at best. Experience: Aside from the volcano trick with onions, the hibachi chef did NOTHING. He did consistently mess up and drop his cookware though as well as get shell in the egg twice. Also, I get it that it's an ethnic restaurant but they could barely communicate with us. Service: The server and hibachi chef were both new. They weren't familiar with the menu items. BOTH OF THEM EACH MADE COMMENTS ABOUT HOW THE THINGS WE ORDERED WEREN'T LIKED BY MOST PEOPLE! How does that make you feel to be sitting there after ordering duck to hear the chef say "most people don't like the duck, I don't." They also redeemed my groupon then tried to say I didn't have one available! I'll be seeking a full refund for this experience. read more

Our experience here was great. Our hibachi chef was so interactive and funny which is always appreciated. The staff went above and beyond. We received a bunch of free items (such as sushi and Saki bombs). The noodles and rice were very overpowered by garlic, I wish less was used. But still good. read more

We always stay in and get delivered. Tonight was really exceptional! They never fail to impress. The staff and delivery person are top notch. Once we found them never went elsewhere. Thank YOU! read more

I had driven past this restaurant the other day and was shocked to know that it even existed. Ever since my drive by I have been crazy hibachi so when I received a UberEats Pickup promotion I eagerly started looking at the menu. According to UberEat's rating Hibachi Sushiya is rated 4.6 stars, however when I checked Yelp I was discouraged when I saw a 3.5 star rating and was debating whether to order or not. I decided to order anyways and I am so glad I did. I ordered the Filet Mignon Hibachi dinner entree and it was absolutely delicious. The meal itself came with clear soup, a green salad, two pieces of shrimp, noodles, vegetables and a very good amount of filet mignon. The clear soup was flavorful, often times it can taste very salty and watered down at other restaurants but this was not the case! The salad was just OK, decent dressing. The noodles are thin, which is the type I prefer with my hibachi. The shrimp, vegetables and filet were great and the serving size was great - big enough for 1.5-2 meals! Overall, I am very glad I chose Hibachi Sushiya for my dinner tonight and I look forward to actually dining there in the near future. read more

We normally order take out, but decided to meet my Dad for lunch on a snow day. The renovations look terrific! We ordered a few appetizers, some sushi and a bowl of soup. Everything was delicious and all the wait staff was attentive of our needs! My Dad even tried a few pieces of sushi for the first time! I look forward to coming back with a group for hibachi. read more

We came here last night to celebrate my sons 8th birthday. We ordered three Habachi Dinners and a few drinks, the noodles were completely off putting. They smelled foul and tasted foul. When I went to inform the front desk staff member her reply was "you mean the noodles they just cooked in front of you?" Then laughed when she told the waiter. Not sure if she realizes that the noodles already come out cooked. Anyways, we got our refund for the noodles but the whole time the staff kept giving us attitudes as if we weren't going to pay our whole bill. We paid for our bill (excluding noodles) and still left a 15% tip. Definitely not coming back, it's usually our spot for birthday dinners but we will be finding a better habachi restaurant. read more

Newly renovated with a huge choice of sushi rolls. Wait staff is friendly and fast. Sushi Chef is very personable. Say "Hi" to Saji when you come in. I've been to many in the area and this is the best by far. Food and service is excellent. read more

Very good food and service! Decor needed updated. Tables were a little tight, and thank goodness I went with my family and friends, so it was okay to be a little cozy with the person next to me. Unfortunately, you have to choose between noodles and rice, or pay extra for both. I got both- the rice was like actual fried rice with vegetables able everything; the noodles were thin like angel hair, but tastes like a thin kind of egg noodle crossed with an udon noodle. The service was great and attentive. The chef was very funny, and sang to me different birthday songs since it was my birthday! I ordered the habachi filet mignon and it was nice and juicy and tender. My vegetarian friend enjoyed her habachi vegetable dinner, which featured peppers, snap peas, baby corns, mushrooms, and water chestnuts. read more

Came to Hibachi Sushiya with a big group on a Saturday night and were pretty let down. It seemed like the wait staff was not ready for a Saturday night. We waited in the unmanned, outdated bar for 15 minutes while our table was being prepared. No one to came to take drink orders so we just stood around aimlessly waiting to be seated. When we finally were seated, it took approximately 20 minutes to get a round of sake bombs, and another 20 for the chef to come out! When the waiters did come around, they were friendly enough but the service was pretty atrocious. The atmosphere also left something to be desired -- there was no music or ambiance and the whole place felt like it could use a deep clean. My friends made fun of me for making a reservation here, so safe to say, I will not be coming back anytime soon. read more

I wanted to make reservations for my birthday there, so i called ahead around 5ish and set reservations for 8pm. My boyfriend, roommate and i got there a bit early, so we waited about a half hour to be seated. So we got seated, and about ten minutes later, a family of i think four or five, were seated.... they served them right away. We waited an extra 20 minutes for our chef and it was only until i complained to the waitress about this was when we were served. So we waited a total of 30 minutes just at the table itself. We got there at 7:30 and didn't actually eat til approx 8:45. I understand it gets busy but not the point - first come first serve right? Smh. Food was great by all means i loved it and they even did a complimentary ice cream dessert to make up for it... otherwise would have given one star lol. read more

Veggie rolls were great, kid's chicken habachi arrived cold, but the miso soup had a hair in it and for that alone Im giving 2 stars because there should be no reason why theres hair in my food if the proper gear is being worn while handling food. Its extremely unsanitary especially in these troubled times as a paying customer I'd appreciate a hot meal and great food I can enjoy. read more

I came to Fuji with a party of 7 people. Half the adults attending had been to it when they were kids and wanted to go back for the Hibachi. We made a reservation and were seated around the hot table. Our server took our drink order then returned to take our food order. The menu has a good variety of sushi and hibachi dishes. For $22.50 I chose the filet mignon entree which came with soup, noodle, salad and shrimp. The soup was brought out first. It was really good. Miso style with fried onions. Then the salad came with a light ginger dressing. We all loved it. Separately we had ordered a shrimp tempura appetizer. It was fantastic. Perhaps the best tempura I've ever had. There was a small gap in time after that until our chef came but we had fun watching the other tables action. Our chef was hilarious and completely on point with his moves. It was very entertaining. He had us laughing the whole time. He started off with the fried rice and noodles. I got the noodle which could of used more flavor then tried the rice and thought it was better. The shrimp appetizer was tasty. Then he started on our entrees. My filet was perfectly done to med rare. It was chopped up into small pieces that were tender and juicy. I used the ginger dipping sauce along with it. Others tried some excellent sushi they raved about. They were cool with custom making pieces of maki for us. Overall we had a blast. The value for the quantity of food is great. Drinks are reasonably priced. Service was very friendly. There were a couple waitresses tending to the table. The guys who had been there years before said it looked exactly the same inside. It even had the same koi pond in the front. It's not the most modern place but a good place to go with a group for a unique dinner. read more

It was ok. The service was good and the food was good. A positive was the huge special sushi roll menu ;) A lot of sushi competition in Fairfield county and I'm not sure this place is in the upper echelon. May try hibachi next time but once again I'm not expecting much. read more

I went with my 10 year old son. The interior is very dark and not so clean. Not well organized and structured. When you enter you see a fish aquarium... fishes were still alive but the water was yellow. Service was stressful. The waiter was constantly running from one palace to another. Food was ok, but just ok. The chef made the food but I could tell he lost his passion. The experience was not good. I was glad to leave the place and I don't think I will come back. read more
