Only show in town in terms of Hibachi in LT. Great vibes, pleasant staff. Food is always tasty and scrumptious. My favorite is the show the chef puts on of course always fun and inviting, catching zucchini singing happy birthday to people you meet at the table. Noodles are super good. Great time all around.

BYOB, okay service, food tastes good but I felt awful afterwards.
I visited Fuji in Lacey around 5:30 PM on a weekday, and sadly, this will be my last time dining there. I used to eat here often and always looked forward to it, but the quality has gone downhill while the prices have climbed significantly.
For our meal, we ordered a Spicy Shrimp Roll, a Boston Roll, and three hibachi entrees (chicken, steak, and shrimp). The sushi was disappointing. While the presentation was beautiful, the taste was heavy and lacked the fresh, vibrant flavors I expect from good sushi. I barely touched mine because it just didn’t sit right.
As for the hibachi, we chose to sit at a regular table instead of the grill, hoping for a quieter night, but the food missed the mark. My hibachi meal was overly greasy, which made it feel more like takeout than fresh, delicious hibachi. The others at my table enjoyed their meals initially, but later on, they felt uncomfortably full and sluggish, which really dampened the experience.
The service, as usual, was just okay. There’s always been a slight language barrier with the staff, which isn’t a big deal, but it didn’t add much to the experience. The restaurant was also completely empty, so we weren’t rushed, but something about the atmosphere felt lackluster.
The final bill for two sushi rolls, three hibachi meals, two waters, one soda, and a small scoop of ice cream was well over $100. Given the poor quality of the food, the price felt completely unjustified.
Fuji used to be a place I looked forward to visiting, but it’s clear that things have changed. It’s unfortunate because I have great memories of eating here, but I can no longer recommend it. I hope they improve, but for now, I’ll be looking elsewhere for fresh, high-quality sushi and hibachi.
We went for lunch on a Monday and we were one of two occupied tables in the restaurant. It was clean, service was good, and staff was friendly. Fish was tasty and well presented. Bento box chicken was tender, cooked well.
Nice lunch menu with generous portions. Salad was fresh. Miso soup was luke warm and the seaweed was different than I am used to.
All in all, a solid lunch.
Went for lunch so it was not very busy. The service was on point, the prices were fair and the food was really good. The establishment was clean and well organized.
Would like to go back for dinner and sit in one of the cool low tables.
Decent vibe.
TV is unnecessary IMHO.
