by chimeicc

I took my family there for a birthday. The manager greeted us and gave us all 15% off even though it was after happy hour! Kids eat for $5! the food is better and it costs less!!!! the staff cooking in front of us were amazing. Justin was hilarious and did great tricks, many more then benihana. Ping was teach the table over to do sake bombs for a birthday! Everyone said hello to my 2 year old son and he was giggling and smiling the whole time. This places is all around much better then any restaurant I have ever been too the staff were personable, well trained, funny, smiling, and made us feel like family. The food was high quality and well cooked. The place was very clean. The drinks were awesome. I can't say enough good things about this place. I would recommend this to any body and everybody. Tell them May sent you!

• Pros: funny kind well trained staff, clean, the best food,
• Cons: none!

My Favorite Sushi

by callitout

Very little alterations made to the external presentation of from when it was an OCB. We were curious and went in, it is lovely inside. Immediately the management sought to make our experience the best possible. Initially I was a little confused by being asked for an alcohol order upon entry, though I think because it was a very quiet Wednesday night he was also acting bartender and sought to expedite our order.

We sat in the Sushi bar and there was hesitation that my husband could still order hibachi there, I was more comfortable with the presentation from afar. The standard ‘sushi’ was ridiculously cheap and the best I have ever had. The ‘philly’ sushi roll was delicious had amazing smoked salmon that was different to the salmon in the California roll and the sesame seeds were very tasty.

Upon tasting our food we started planning who we would take here. It is sad that more people haven’t discovered this place. The blinds are kept closed to maintain the fantastic intimate atmosphere but that keeps the outside from seeing in! Perhaps if the blinds were updated to some wide wooden ones, some detail colors on the external paintwork or stylized plants in the garden would help. Regardless step inside and share this Shoreline gem with us!

• Pros: Thoughtfull management and staff
• Cons: OCB stigma not quite removed from outside, but step in!

Worth checking out-good place

by Mobean62

My parents live in Shoreline and we were trying to find a place to celebrate mine and my dad's birthdays (we are a day apart) and I wanted to have steak. My dad suggested Fuji and all I could think of was the horrible OCB that had been there for years, but after I read the reviews on here, I decided to try it out.

Good choice! The food was really great and Hibachi style cooking is perfect for my mom who is particular about how her food is cooked, since you can see them cooking right in front of you. They have a lot of fun surprises up their sleeves, the manager/owner? is really personable, and they had a surprise for the birthdays. This reminds me of one of my favorite restaurants in my college town and I always leave feeling full!

• Pros: Yummy food, fun atmosphere-entertaining, great service
