Food was excellent, service good, ambiance was fair- had better/ had much worse. The food presentation was extremely worthy of a five star restaurant read more

We made a reservation over a week in advance yet when we got to the restaurant we waited most an hour to eat. When we first arrived we were told our table was being cleaned off. The only reason we did not leave was because it was Valentine's Day and I had 4 kids with me, we wouldn't have found another place to eat at such short notice. Every time someone walked in they would lie and say only 5 to 10 min wait. Sadly, we will never visit this place again. I would have have asked to sit at a regular table but the last time we ate at a table there was hair in our food, so I figured having it cooked in front of us would be safer. Never again. read more

The place was extremely cold like they were venting directly from the outside. It was dirty and the interior looked like it needed a good scrubbing. Even the ceiling was filthy. The servers looked over worked and just done with it. They were just trying to get the food out and it is a hibachi bar. The cook even seemed burned out. The food was meh...not worth the money or the time. read more

Came back again for my son's bday last night. Not sure if this was an off night but our experience wasn't great. The chefs portions were way off. Twice he had to go back to the kitchen for more food for our party as well as the couple seated at the table next to us. In addition, we had to remind the chef to provide the entire table with the sauces that he had forgotten about. Unfortunately the place seems to be getting dirtier and not as clean. Portions continue to get smaller. Was surprised to see that even for a small party of three they take it upon themselves to include the tip. I Just don't think that's right. Personally, I believe in tipping and I am a good tipper so this isn't a dealbreaker, but I think it might be for some. Also, they don't tell you ahead of time that they're doing this so if you're unaware or someone that doesn't look at the check carefully , you may double tip. Overall disappointed with this restaurant and dining experience. read more

The soup was cold. The Katsu was tough and came with a sauce that tasted like ketchup. The only reason I go back is because of the lack of decent restaurants in the Oneonta area. I wish I didn't. I just wasted $15.e read more

I have eaten at Mt. Fuji numerous times in the past few years and I will never ever patronize this restaurant again. I had reservations for a party of four to celebrate an occasion and upon my arrival to the restaurant I noticed there was a limited amount of staff covering the entire restaurant. The lobby was full with patrons waiting to be seated. The hibachi portion of the restaurant was also full which is normal on a weekend night, but I found out that the restaurant only had one chef available to prepare the food and the restaurant employee also told me that they were overbooked. I waited patiently for about 15 minutes past my reservation time and realized that my party would not be seated for quite a while. I left the restaurant and will not be coming back. It's sad to see this once fun to go to restaurant slowly lose its way. read more

If you are REALLY craving sushi , then go to this place. The sushi was ok, but order CA rolls and things that most people get otherwise the fish may not be fresh , we got Ikura nigiri and it was not fresh at all , we sent it back untouched, but they still charged us for it. The server was moody and not very friendly. So like I said , if you ABSOLUTELY can't wait to have sushi at another place , then go here and good luck. read more

I am actually surprised that I was able to find a good sushi place in a small town like this. Even better that it was such an affordable price. Everything tasted fresh and the sushi roll had a nice ratio between all the ingredients. Moreover, the sushi rolls had a nice bite size. I'm not usually a fan of overly big sushi rolls, but this place was perfect. If you're in town and looking for sushi at a great price, I recommend this place! read more

Don't go! The place is dirty the sushi at the sushi bar had a gray tint to it and they are poorly understaffed I went with a party of six people we made reservations When we got there the only way we could be served is if the chef was cooking at the grill next to us for another party and he would hand us our plates so all we could see is his back as he did his show for the table next to us We walked out Oh and their liquor license has been revoked! read more

Soo this place got three stars because of food. Service is great. So the pros... the sashimi is super fresh. Literally the best thing I've had here. I ordered the love boat and it came with a variety of fishes. I enjoyed it so muchhh ugh. The presentation was really cute too. The cons... the food was a tad bit bland. I forgot exactly what I got but it was the hibachi. I just felt like I was eating nothing that popped for it's price... read more

Mt. Fuji Japanese Restaurant - chicken and rice - Japanese Near Me - Oneonta, New York

We are in oneonta for the weekend visiting my son at school for his birthday. He loves hibachi so of course this is where we ended up for dinner. We arrived around 7. It's a small restaurant and was a bit crowded. We were a party of 5 and the waitress said us with 2 other groups of people. There was only 1 hibachi chef for the whole restaurant so there was a wait for our food. Food was pretty good. We were all pleased except for my youngest son ( very picky eater. Ended up going to McDonald's for him). The reason for only 3 stars, restaurant was not very clean and having only 1 hibachi chef was not a good idea especially for a busy Saturday night. Now if I was in the other party (4 guests) I probsbly would only five 2 stars. Women on end for very limited food. The chef had to keep requesting to get more because it just wasn't enough. They also ordered salmon ( which I would never do in oneonta) and it looked terrible. read more

Mt. Fuji Japanese Restaurant - Filet mignon and scallops with fried rice and noodles - Japanese Near Me - Oneonta, New York

See all

Food quality was good, portions were small for cost - we had hibachi with a large party. Hibachi meals were $22-28 each, a bit high for four shrimp and six bites of steak (both of which were good, but would have liked more than a sample). Restaurant wasn't terribly busy, but staff couldn't get us out fast enough - waitress was very pushy about ordering desserts, then was hurrying us out right after they were served. Everyone felt rushed, which was unfortunate. read more

Decided to take the family out for hibachi. Food was good. Service was good. Would love for them to expand the drink menu. Mom had salmon and shrimp with fried rice. She enjoyed it. Daughter had salmon and chicken with noodles. However, she got sick after eating the salad. Not sure if it's because of her peanut allergy. I had seafood trio (shrimp, scallops & lobster) and fried rice. I enjoyed it. read more

Without a doubt, the best Japanese food in Oneonta. They were attentive to my vegan needs, and offered very friendly service. I haven't gone for Hibachi there, but from what I've seen, the Hibachi does look fun. All the food was delicious. Veggie wraps had fresh, crisp vegetables and creamy avocado. Heard the tempura was cooked properly and NOT saturated with oil, which means the oil was the right temperature. Salmon was cooked perfectly, according to my mother, who is a chef. She did think there was a little too much teriyaki sauce on it, but that was a minor gripe. Squid was tough; wouldn't order that again. Salad was fresh, miso soup was the same as any other Japanese restaurant. The plates of sushi they make are truly beautiful, and I would recommend the sushi to anyone planning on visiting this place. Will come back here in the future. read more

I used to frequent Mt Fuji 15 years ago, so I looked forward to eating there this past weekend. I picked it bc they had HAD Sunday specials (no longer) and I liked the grill, which we weren't seated at. The sushi was good, but when I ordered a second green tea? I was told to reuse my teabag! I have NEVER heard of that, nor not brewing by the pot. But to reuse my tea bag? I almost got up and walked out. The service was pretty prompt, food prepared nicely, but to me? Tea is part of the cost of doing business. There were no other inducements, either. Had to ASK for water. Soup was only HALF a bowl, and salad was tiny, although good. I will NOT go back, there are other options. I paid 75 for 2 people, left hungry, went home and ate. I will not go back, ever. I was extremely disappointed, SO disappointed? This is my first ever Yelp review, THAT is how disappointed I was. read more

My wife and I eat here at least 3 times a month I have never been disappointed with my choices. Prices are reasonable and the service is very good. read more

had Dinner at Mt. Fuji today. This was a very disappointing experience on several levels. To start they were out of stock for both Kirin and Sapporo beers. So I ordered a large hot saki ($8.95 in menu, but charged $9.95 on bill). The saki was not very good, so I ordered a Stella beer, not a bad beer but wanted a Japanese beer. I ordered a teriyaki beef bento box, but was given a teriyaki beef plate/dinner. I sent it back to get the bento box I ordered, therefore I had my meal after my companion had already finished eating. The worse part is that the waitress neither listened nor did she care about the lack of inventory, wrong order or the misprinted saki which I didn't even drink. Nobody cared that the dining experience was a disaster. No regret was expressed in any manner at all. An expensive dinner which was a totally disappointing experience. This restaurant is not recommended. read more

My husband and I finally went to Mt. Fuji after weeks of talking about it. I was looking forward to some good sushi, which I have not had in years. John had never had it, but I convinced him to try it as an appetizer. Now he's hooked. For the entree he had teriyaki steak and I had sukiyaki, which to my surprise is served as a soup at Mt. Fuji. But a very delicious one. Getting back to the sushi: I have to say that Mt. Fuji's sushi is the best I've had outside of New York City. I fact, the sushi was so delightful that when we returned to the restaurant a couple of weeks later, we made an entire meal from the sushi bar, with a sushi appetizer and the sushi and sashimi combo entree with California roll. Everything from the sushi bar was fresh and absolutely delicious. For me the California roll was a particularly nice surprise, because up to now it was not one of my favorites since at other places it is mostly rice wrapped in seaweed with a tiny piece of fish in the center. At Mt. Fuji the fish is the dominant flavor in the roll and it is as delightful as everything else on the menu. We haven't tried the hibachi grill yet, but I look forward to it. read more

Has a very yummy sashimi lunch here. We started with some of the best vegetable gyoza we have had. Very tender skin, cooked perfectly and a nice filling. We followed that with the sashimi selection - tuna, yellowtail, striped bass, and white tuna - all well cut and tasting very fresh. The one off note was the spider roll - I wasn't a gigantic fan of the sweet sauce that was on top of it. read more

Poor service, and questionable sushi. My tuna was grayish in color and I was charged for an extra small bowl of white rice - $2.00. I will never go back! read more

Never will I ever come back. This was my second experience at this restaurant and certainly the last. I ordered steak and scallops Hibachi and my girlfriend ordered steak and chicken Hibachi. The food was decent but nothing like Hana in Albany. Upon leaving, I left a tip on the table and payed my bill. The woman scowled at me and said "TIP" with an angry voice. I then said "Your tip is on the table" and stormed out. I wish I went back and took it off the table because they certainly did not deserve one. By the time we got home, we both had stomach aches and immediately had to use the toilet. Avoid this place at all costs... Ohhh and there was a long black hair in my noodles too‍ read more

My husband and I went on a weekday ... great service- fast ... great food! Would recommend checking it out at least once...

Mt. Fuji is the only place I'll go to get sushi! The service is fast, accurate, and friendly. Their food is awesome and the entire atmosphere is extremely tranquil and relaxing, and entertaining when there are people seated at the hibachi table! Love Mt. Fuji :) read more

The service wasn't great not really friendly and kinda rude to and they ignore you like your not even there and the food was not good either and I won't be back will never eat here again read more

Restaurant is always cold. Hot tea is warm at best. If you want habachi there is ALWAYS a wait, I think they hope for more people to come. If you sit at the grill, we were told, you have to order hibachi, I wanted something else, oh well. It is pricey, they do listen to your food allergies good, which I appreciate. Little kids of staff in the restaurant and the staff is always hunkered down somewhere talking on the cell phone. read more

Wanted Sushi and someone recommended the place so me and my wife went on a weeknight. Walking in the hostess/waitress seemed distant and cold. We ordered. I had sushi and my wife ordered shrimp tempura. Salad only had lettuce, dressing was good. Soup was ok but lukewarm. Sushi came and pieces were small and not cold enough. Rice was chewy, maybe old or not cooked enough. Wife's Tempura was awful, just kind of thrown together. Asked for fried rice which was inedible full of salt. Sent it back Vegetable in big hunks, No flavor extremely greasy. Dipping sauce was gross. Asked for a sweet and sour sauce and all they had was teriyaki which was awful. Later that evening wife became ill. For the price, ambience, lousy food I would suggest not coming here and visit main street in Oneonta to the other Sushi place which I have been to and enjoyed. read more

Food is inconsistant. Waitress was pushy for order and got the order wrong. Finally she tried to pocket my change. Not with the money.

!!overpriced!! warning!!! keep away go anywhere (to main st) its worth it! main street has 2 almost if not on the same block. both with good food and priced appropriately. read more

This place is ok. I'm from Rochester and this place isn't that good compared to stuff in ROC and NYC. It's not bad. It's just not the worst I've had. The outside scared me a little bit. Overall this place is ok and one of 2 Japanese places in town so I see why people come here. But it's nothing special. read more

Meh. All I can say is meh. Below average, overly priced and unprofessionally prepared. There is Zero authenticity in this food and the the hamptons with all this fresh fish available, it's an extreme disappointment. I'm a sushi ( real sushi not California roll) fanatic and I would never order from there again unless out of desperation. read more

Honestly I would really love to give this place a solid 4. The food is actually pretty decent, not the best sushi in the area, but overall usually a good meal. However, the service here has gotten absolutely terrible, the staff is short and abrasive both in the store and on the phone. I don't know what happened over the past couple of years, it used to be such an enjoyable place to eat. On the phone the staff sounds noticeably angry when you call to order food, and when you're in the restaurant sitting down, its just as bad! They truly make you feel like you are annoying them by being there. I don't think I have seen one of the employees there smile in 2 years. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by Mt Fuji. I've been to many many hibachi restaurants - good and bad. And given its location, I wasn't expecting much. But the food was actually very very good. I had the hibachi shrimp and scallops and beef negimaki. I wouldn't hesitate to return. read more

Very nice atmosphere inside and very courteous staff. Food was great, kids had chicken katsu which tasted excellent, very nicely battered, not heavy and a great tasting sauce to dip it in. Ordered the Phoenix roll which was very tasty and did not disappoint. The main meal was shrimp teriyaki and the wife had the chicken teriyaki lunch specials. Shrimp was good sized and had great flavor. I would definitely return. read more

This is the first Japanese restaurant I've been to. It was a nice place! Looks very unassuming from the exterior. I probably would have avoided it actually but a friend of mine wanted to go. She said the food was very good for Japanese (she has much more experience than I do). I had the filet which was delicious. The carrot-ginger salad was amazing. I don't even like ginger! I'd definitely go back. read more

You pay more than some of the other sushi places in oneonta but the quality, and ambiance are much more preferred here than other locations. Food always tastes good and fresh, Good selection of sake as well. Sometimes the staff can be pushy. The hibachi is wonderful as well. read more

Pricey but really enjoy the food and atmosphere. Loved the bento boxes and the grill is fun for groups. read more

Great hibachi place. The food was amazing and they really know how to put on a show. My coworkers and I went there and we got a variety of things. Personally I got squid. The chef was extremely talented and didn't mess up once. He entertained all of us and we barely talked because we were mesmerized by his quick hands. Landed all our food on the plates and managed to throw a few shrimp in our mouths! The food was delicious and they do offer Japanese soda and sake if that's what you're into. I definitely want to go back no questions asked. read more
