Reviews of Fuji Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar Rapid Valley SD

I’d give it a 0/5 stars if I could. Ordered takeout and sat down to eat at home only to find there was a spider cooked into my food. Glad I caught it when I did. Made me sick to my stomach. I could have sworn I ordered the steak hibachi noodles, not the spider hibachi noodles. Must have been a special they were running that day. Highly disappointed. Tried to call them and ask them what was going on several times only to be sent to voicemail. I’ll change my review to 5 stars if I start climbing walls and shooting webs. In all seriousness spiders tend to lay hundred of eggs and I hope it’s not the case for this restaurant and that my spider noodles were the anomaly and I’m just super unlucky

Great food, good show. We went when they were pretty busy and they had us seated quickly and our food at a reasonable wait. They seemed to be quick with turnaround on tables

The food was excellent, and the chef was skilled and humorous. He did put on a "show". I ended up eating about half of the food that was prepared and took the remainder with me for lunch the next day. Only negative was an incident with some other customers who were not happy and one of the staff people who had to deal with them.

Excellent service everytime! Wait staff is always on top of drinks and I'm so picky about my steak being rare...they get it right each time! John especially is an awesome waiter!

Let me preface that I lived on the East Coast in NY/NJ for 36 years and I've had hibachi countless times and I assumed hibachi around the country was more or less the same. If you're a transplant from the Coasts, you'll likely be disappointed.
We only had hibachi so I can only speak to that. Hibachi fried rice usually is cooked with eggs and veggies, like carrots and peas. The rice we were served was completely plain. It wasn't bad, just different than we're used to. The meat (steak and chicken) and veggies were tasty and cooked well. The sauces we were served were not the traditional ginger sauce and hot mustard, it was one little fish of something called Yum Yum Sauce, which tasted kinda like French dressing. Maybe that plays well here. For dessert, we had green tea ice cream. Something tasted off about it, not bad, just not traditional. Plus, sprinkles? No. I also had a pot of hot green tea which is normally freshly brewed with green tea leaves. This was just tea bags in water. Plus we were charged for it, which is unusual.
Lastly, if they ask if it's ok if they clean the hibachi grill while you're sitting there, SAY NO!!! They use some kind of cleaning solution in a green bottle that smells like a morgue. And I work in a hospital and I've been in the morgue and I'd rather be there. It's horrible. I said it was ok to clean the grill when asked because I've only ever seen them clean the grill with water, and just water.
Anyway, not bad if you go for lunch. Dinner prices were a little on the high side, probably not justifiable, but hey, the place is always busy and I hope they continue their success. Also, please get higher chairs and replace the old, torn wallpaper.
