Fuji Restaurant, Portland, Maine Restaurant Details

Food:

Despite appearing crammed into a small corner spot on Exchange Street, Fuji is actually an enormous establishment with two floors of seating. The downstairs area has the full bar and half-dozen hibachi-style (teppanyaki) grills. This review pertains to the hibachi dining experience.

Waiter service was apathetic yet adequate with erratic dish removal and water refilling. The hibachi chef was extremely friendly and put noticeable effort into entertaining the younger in our dining party. He did an excellent job providing entertainment during dinner.

The hibachi-prepared food was very well done and my medium-rare steak (New York) was expertly cooked. The appetizer salad and soup were mediocre at best and added little to the meal. The "appetizer shrimp" were tasty but offered at an unusual time.

The hibachi meals were all ~$20, which seemed expensive for the food alone. I finished my entire meal but everyone else in my party opted for to-go boxes.

Food:

Was there for lunch on Frb 12, 2015. Excellent service and outstanding sushi. Fresh and flavorful. Seaweed salad was outstanding. Can't wait to get back to Portland to eat here again.

Food:

Portland has a lot of great Sushi places, and Fuji is one of them. The location and atmosphere of Fuji is what separates it from the rest, a bit pricy, but reasonable. The hibachi down stairs is always a blast too!

Food:

Cute decor and comfortable surroundings made even better by terrifically creative and fresh sushi with lots of options for all palates.

Food:

Their food is fresh and the waiter makes the fried rice on your table.
