We've been coming back for many to-go & dining-in since. The restaurant is a little more spacious, which is great for our family. The staff is always friendly, I like that they offer you edamame and water as soon as you sit down. The sushi is consistently fresh and delicious, and we love that they're open all day. It also seems like they offer additional menu options and specials compared to other locations, which has been a nice surprise and we have some new favorites! Lately we've also enjoyed watching the World Cup while having dinner. Great food, great service and atmosphere.

Ambiance: very bright, we dined in, not too noisy and plenty of help was offered. Good place to go on birthday for discreet celebration. suggestion: split sushi rolls and uncut sushi rolls for take out, and more main course options. Rice I took back for fried rice at home and rolls for breakfast, leftover meat it get split between Shio, my father and I. I do like alcohol like hard cider or if make sake peach kind.

This is my first time eating lunch at this restaurant and it was lackluster. We stood for a few…read moreminutes before someone sat us, but that wasn't a big issue. The inside of the restaurant is nice and clean. There is a large beautiful mural on one of the walls that really stands out. We started with a tempura mix appetizer. This is the first time I have had tempura veggies that were soggy. Not crunchy at all, which took away from the taste and experience. The dipping sauce also lacked flavor. For my dish, I ordered their salmon teriyaki and crunch roll lunch. It came with miso soup, salad, and rice. The miso soup was good. The salad dressing was delicious. The salmon was unfortunately overcooked and a bit stiff. The rice was dry too and not the typical sushi rice that I am used to, so that took away from the tastiness of the meal. The crunch roll was not my favorite. The sauce drizzled on top was spicy, but I did like it. There was not much of a crunch for a crunch roll. I unfortunately did not have a great experience with the food as some items were soggy or dry and they are not supposed to be. The salad dressing and miso soup were the tastiest items I tried.

There used to be a table outside (which my family and I really enjoyed) but they've removed it. Here are some items we typically order: - Red hakata ramen (spicy version) - White hakata ramen (toddler fave/toddler friendly) - Black garlic ramen (toddler fave/toddler friendly) - Traditional karrage (toddler fave/toddler friendly) - Beef curry over rice (basic curry sauce over rice) - Salmon bento box (skip this he said the piece of salmon was so tiny) Portions are very small and prices are fairly high for what you are getting but I don't mind because the food is actually pretty tasty. Not that many authentic ramen spots in town so this is still our first choice for ramen. Minus one star because using the restroom is somewhat complicated as there isn't one and they'll have you go to the super mercado next door or their sister sushi restaurant down the way. So not convenient. I just want to wash my hands :)

This place is SO CUTE. I stopped in on a holiday when they were slammed (felt so bad) but they…read morestill nailed the order. The sushi selection and quality isn't mind-blowing here, but it's not really the point! This is a sushi CAFE and not a sushi restaurant. Like, emphasis on the cafe part. You don't go to a coffee shop for their sandwiches, but they do usually have some on the menu, right? If you put it in that perspective, this place rocks. :) The hojicha iced latte I got absolutely slapped! I could have drank a gallon of it. So nice and earthy and fresh-tasting! My husband got a butterfly pea flower drink that he said was also really refreshing and lovely. We got some musubi and onigiri along with our sushi and they were pretty solid! I especially was DELIGHTED that not only do they have a little selection of tasty wagashi, but they have my #1 favorite: mitarashi dango!!! And it's the GOOD and tasty brand, not the yucky shirakiku one that most asian markets sell. These cafe owners have hella good taste.

We celebrated our anniversary at Fujiyama and had a wonderful experience…read more The food was excellent, and the portions were very generous. The prices were right in line with what you'd expect for a hibachi restaurant, so we felt we got great value for the money. I also appreciated that they serve drinks in large soda cups--a small touch, but one I really liked. The service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely polite from start to finish. Our hibachi chef was funny, engaging, and did a great job with both the cooking and the entertainment. He made our anniversary dinner even more enjoyable. The only thing that surprised me was how empty the restaurant was. After our experience, I honestly think they deserve more business. If you're looking for good hibachi in Salinas with generous portions, solid prices, and excellent service, I'd definitely recommend giving Fujiyama a try. We'll absolutely be back!

9.7/10 Definitely the best sushi in Salinas I've had so far!…read more I really enjoyed my experience here. I started with the sashimi dinner, which was absolutely amazing no complaints at all. The cuts were generous and incredibly fresh. The Tekka Maki rolls were rolled perfectly, with a great bite and, again, very fresh. We were also treated to dessert and chose the fried green tea ice cream. It was definitely firm, which makes sense since it was fried, but fried green tea ice cream. It was definitely firm, which makes sense since it was fried, but the contrast worked well. Sweet and savory with the crispy exterior overall, really good. Service was fast and efficient, with a very attentive server. The ambiance was clean, nice, and relaxed. It wasn't very busy, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Their serving size are certainly generous, that goes for the protein and extra spice I ordered. My order alone came out to $33 which for the prices I consider it to be a bit overpriced considering the quality of the food (felt a bit bland or not worth the high price). Over all the ambiance is busy but it was cool to visit :)

Welp.. We finally had the chance to return to Monterey.. As we were squeezed for time, we chose to…read morecome to Toribashi tonight. Parking was only mildly challenging, as a space opened up after only a single lap around the block. Inside here, you'll find a busy place with a few tables and individual bar-style (partitioned!) paired seating along the walls adjacent to the kitchen in the middle part of the restaurant. Order up at the self-serve order kiosks, tap in your table/counter number, and they bring out your order in a couple of minutes. We had six of us in our party, and most of us kept it simple by ordering the default Tonkatsu Ramen with different customizable options. Most all of the ingredients in this order were on point - The Chasu Pork Belly was tender, thick and delicious, ramen noodles nothing special, but generally stil on point, as were the bamboo shoots. However, the co-star/centerpiece of the Tonkatsu Ramen other than the Chasu Pork slab should be the broth, but sadly the broth was far far TOO salty which overpowered the other flavors in the broth. Chasu Pork 4.8/5, Tonkatsu Ramen 3.1/5. Service was good as everyone was hustling hard in the kitchen, along with attentive bussers/waitstaff to quickly turn tables. They take good care in wiping down the tables here. If I return, I'll just get the Paitan Ramen like I did in years past, as that seemed less salty. Then again the Paitan soup base begins with the same chicken+pork soup base as the Tonkatsu Ramen. I hope Toribashi will step back up to their former glory.
