Fujisan was a nice excursion from the standard trip to Kanki. The waitress brought us warm towels to wash our hands and took our orders. The prices were very reasonable. For dinner we could get steak for $16.95 or two meats for $17.95. The soup and house salad were pretty standard fare. The waitress didn't slack on drink refills so they already earned high marks in my book.
It was the atmosphere that really set this steakhouse apart from the competition. The staff seemed genuinely happy to be there. Our chef was Asian, not a Hispanic person trying to pretend to be Japanese (we've had that before). It was a friend's birthday and since she was carrying a present to the table, the staff immediately picked up on it and brought my friend complimentary dessert and a balloon. Most places today charge you for that kind of service.
The chef was entertaining and a pretty skilled performer. He actually made 98% of the tricks he tried to do and he was delighted to entertain his table. He didn't throw food at the table either, which has gotten really old at the other Japanese steakhouse. His only stunt was to threaten me with a condiment bottle that pushed out a straw when he squeezed.
Also different from the competition, Fujisan provided fried rice and noodles with dinner. Yummy.
