fujiya japanese garden

disappointed. after reading the reviews i chose to try fujiya. my husband and i ordered the two bento boxs and neither of us were pleased. firstly, the miso soup that preceded our bento boxes was lukewarm and bland. secondly, the main course items in the boxes were ordinary with one shining exception: the tempura shrimp and vegies was excellent. for the rest, well we won't repeat those meals. the beef and chicken entree's were also lukewarm and not very interesting; we just don't like california rolls much, and these were no exception -- fake crab and avacado. if we ever decide to tryfujiyaagain (not likely) we'll go straight to the sushi bar and order primo sushi and skip the rest.

simply divine. my mom and i took my sister tofujiyato celebrate her move to san antonio; we hadn't been in ten years ourselves and hoped it would be as good as we remembered. my sister had never had japanese food so she followed our lead so we all ended up with the shrimp and vegetable tempura lunch plates. from the soup that started us out to the food regretfully left behind when we couldn't eat another bite our visit was more than satisfactory. despite being the holiday season we weren't overwhelmed by tacky christmas decorations, our server was both attentive and discrete, and our food was done perfectly (sweet potato and zucchini are both so easy to overcook while frying). we will most certainly be back and recommendfujiyato all of our friends and family.

finest japanese in town. i was one of the first employees @fujiyain 1971. mama , was very particular about the recipes, and immigrated her chefs and waitresses from japan. there were years where the quality had gotten worse, after mama passed. but yesterday, we had the famous dinner for 2 lovers, and the recipes were exactly as i remember. i saw george, one of the sons who is in house now. and a waitress i knew when i worked there in 1971. the elaborate dinner was spectacular, everything very well presented, from the tempura to the sukiyaki was first class. we were treated like royalty. we will be back soon. i highly recommend for any occasion.

fuji - yeah!. after driving to several different overly crowded with waits of 2 hours or more we just happen to pass this place on our way back to our hotel. the ambiance and decor was very japanese in architecture and style both inside and out. the menu was ample so deciding what to eat was somewhat of a chore. i finally decided on the no.1fujiyaspecial dinner $15.95 which is a "medley of some of their most popular dishes. it came with chicken kushi, beef teriyaki, tonkatsu (pork cutlet), shrimp and vegetable tempura and house soup. you better be hungry because it was a lot of food. the food was interesting as it was not your normal japanese restaurant. more authentic. no hibachi tables here. enjoy.

favourite forever.... i had tanin donburi & half of a bonzai roll (shared it with my grandma), both were sooo good. i am in love with this place, if only i could go every single day -_- i still don't really like thefujiyasoup though .-. idk just personal taste i guess ._.

luncheon for lovers... but it wasn't really for lovers with us since i was with my grandma :p anyways, it came with 8 "courses" although i wouldn't really count the rice as its own course. we were so full when we left, it was so much food, but it was good. i got a picture of a few of the "courses" but not all of them. it was all pretty good, but thefujiyasoup was a bit too salty for me, and so was the broth for the sukiyaki. my favorite part of the meal (besides the tonkatsu) was the dessert, it was really good, i recommend getting it sometime if you go here.

my grandma and i went here for lunch today, and we left full and happy. i had shrimp tempura & tonkatsu, really good. my grandma had curry rice with chicken, she really liked it, and i tried it and thought it was good too (and i don't even like curry!) we also had salmon nigri, the fish was nice and fresh. then i had a salmon onigiri, it was a good portion, and tasty too. oh and our tea glasses were never empty ;) we're planning on going back, hopefully soon!

not up to par anymore. used to be a decent japanese restaurant several years ago when there weren't many around town and japanese food wasn't as popular as it is today. now, i'm afraid,fujiyais outdated and subpar. i think if they remodeled and updated the decor and menu it might have a chance again. as it stands today, i can't recommend it to my friends with so many better options available.

best sushi in sa.fujiyaserves the best sushi in sa. i've dined at over a dozen sushi restaurants here and have found two that were a close second to fujia in sa and austin.fujiyastill stands apart. sushi is meant to be delicate and flavorful, not robust, and the hint of each individual ingredient in the rolls are a delight to the palate. there should not be a noticeable flavor to any of the fish; there should only be a delicate sweetness to each that differs in taste from the other that distinguishes the type of seafood used. the owner and staff are amazing and very dear people.

amazing. had the eddie roll dice roll twin dragon roll and thefujiyaroll. it was great the chef was very nice and made wonderful rolls. i will go back

awesome.fujiyais my favorite sushi restaurant, i love sitting in the japanese room on the floor and looking over the japanese garden. very authentic and tasty
