fujiya japanese garden

good. sushi was good, not great. other menu items aregoodthough too.

i’ll start by saying the interior of this restaurant is nothing short of majestic. i was in awe of the obvious pride they’ve taken in paying homage to their heritage and the elegance of the entryway. the staff is friendly and the whole environment just made me feel comfortable and relaxed. i know it sounds dramatic but i’m rarely astounded when i walk into a restaurant, especially one which looks a bit questionable from the parking lot lol.

that being said, the food wasgoodbut nothing spectacular. i had a spicy tuna roll which was good. the miso soup was actually delicious which was a surprisingly treat as it is rarely noteworthy at most places. the chicken teriyaki wasgoodand not smothered in sauce but a little over cooked. and i’m sorry to say, but i’d rate the gyoza in the bottom 50 percent.

overall, i think i’ll go back and give some other items on their large menu a chance. it’s worth it for the welcoming and breathtaking ambiance.

the staff were all very nice and the atmosphere wasn't bad.  but -- the food was awful, not sure how on earth they got suchgoodreviews. i would not go back.

verygoodsushi and sushi rolls. 3$ happy hour monday-thursday till 6:30 is a killer deal! this is my second time here during my 6 week business trip and i will be back for a third time.

rediscovering an old favorite.. it had been a very very long time since i had eaten at fujiya. i still remember when they were located on fredricksberg road near the crossroads mall. this place was alreadygoodwhen i tried it first back in 94, i think its even better now. i had the sushi lunch combo a. its an excellent example of what they do best here. sushi. the fish was fresh and just really well made nigiri. not one crumbled as i picked them up with chopsticks (unlike other sushi joints in town). also got to try their scallop bed and spicy tuna roll and a piece of their teriyaki steak bento. that was one flavor full and well cooked piece of steak. service here is also excellent. not once did i have to ask for anything. my only complaint was that the miso soup that came with the lunch specials was barely warm, other than that i'm definitely coming back here.

simply divine. my mom and i took my sister to fujiya to celebrate her move to san antonio; we hadn't been in ten years ourselves and hoped it would be asgoodas 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 recommend fujiya to all of our friends and family.

really really liked it. i got the chicken ramen soup - that was all sorts of savory goodness. it does have veggies, but they taste just like the broth. my husband got the masa rolls - they were pretty good, just not quite our thing. the salmon was cooked, not smoked, but it was still an ok roll. we finished with coffee flavored mochi - it wasgoodand looked really cute between two equal sized mounds of cream. our waitress was really nice and the cost for the sushi was incredibly reasonable. some people don't like the japanese themed atmosphere - i thought it was really neat. we're definitely heading back soon.

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 the fujiya soup 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 the fujiya soup 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 wasgoodtoo (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 agoodportion, and tasty too. oh and our tea glasses were never empty ;) we're planning on going back, hopefully soon!

had heardgoodthings about this place but when i finally tried it myself i felt it was overrated and also over priced.... service was prettygoodeven though it was late night
but all i can say is that i haven't been back ever since...
