disappointing birthday dinner. unfortuately our family and friends went tofujisanfor my 9 year olds birthday dinner. even though i made a reservation for 8 and specified that it was for a birthday party, we were given the new "chef". the night began with him dropping a raw egg that splattered next to another couples appetizer. they should have demanded a new one but were polite and did not. the staff and chef also refused to provide them with "white sauce" for their appetizer until it was time for the chef to pass out sauces to everyone. the chef proceeded to get the orders confused and had to leave the table several times to get more food. his knife skills were poor and i had to request knives (dull butter knives were provided) in order to cut up our steak. worst of all he was unable to perform the tricks that my child had wanted to see. our money would have been better spent elsewhere. we will not be back.

if you're looking to have a fun and yummy dining experience for a large party or a smaller date vibe, i recommendfujisanjapanese steakhouse for an excellent dining experience.
