Fuji Japanese Steakhouse

I was quite blown away by the quality of the food and cook (Thank you, Chef Ferrie!) . All the ingredients used were fresh and perfectly seasoned - right in front of our eyes. All 3 families around the grill mentioned they didn't even need to utilize the complimentary sauces. The Japanese Clear Onion Soup was hot and a nice respite from the typical miso soup. We even bought extra to take home - that is how good it was! For the small salad, you get to pick your dressing from their special ginger dressing to Ranch. Both are included in the meal. Some of the folks ordered sushi appetizers (extra $) and really enjoyed them. Enjoyed a Mai Tai that packed a punch and wasn't skimpy on the alcohol - for $8! Dessert is not offered. It was a well oiled machine and we were there for 70 minutes. I can't recommend Chef Ferrie enough! On a side note, I heard the hostess tell a "to-go" patron that her sushi was given to the wrong person, and they had to make another. There isn't much ambiance - no music, bright lights, hard chairs. But you get a show, lot's of great tasting food and you're in and you're out.

The food was really good, the employees were friendly and the cook at our table was friendly and didn't talk too much or too little. The sushi was delicious, the best in Anderson. The steak and shrimp hibachi was very yummy. My one and only complaint is that I wish the protein portion was larger. It could be me just being picky though.

The food and service are usually generally good but today neither of them were. The gentleman that answered the phone was rude and curt but I can get past that. He repeated my order back to me so I thought it would be right but that was not the case. My steak was supposed to have no rice, veggies only but it had more rice than anything in the box. The Japanese egg rolls tasted fishy as did my sushi roll so I think the imitation crab they use in both were bad today because I get the same roll and egg rolls every time I come and they never taste like this. I hope it was just an off day today and will be better next time.
