Mt Fuji

Went for lunch on a weekday. No wait at all. Service was good. We sat at a table- not at the hibachi grill (15% gratuity is added to the bill when sitting at the grill).
The sushi is made fresh, to order. The Bento Box is large and filling.
The 4 stars instead of 5 is the tempura/ fried items were a little on the greasy side.
They have a nice bar, if you’re looking for adult beverages.

Im not one to make reviews but, I’m honestly furious and heartbroken after what I’ve seen happen in this restaurant. There’s a blonde-headed hostess who works there, and every single time I’ve been in (at least three separate times now), she’s been treated terribly. She’s constantly singled out, talked down to, and tonight I watched her get yelled at over what seemed like a simple mistake. She looked humiliated and completely defeated, and it broke my heart to see her run out of the restaurant crying while no one even bothered to check on her.

When I called up there afterward, the manager actually asked, “Was it the skinny one?” — which came across as incredibly disrespectful and body-shaming. That alone shows the lack of professionalism and empathy from management.

What’s even worse is that this isn’t a one-time thing. Every time I’ve come in, I’ve noticed the same pattern. One of the times we were in there a short brown headed hostess would constantly talk over her, stare at her with an ugly look, and cut her off whenever she tried to speak — even when all she seems to be doing is trying to make conversation or connect with her coworkers and do her job. She’s always left standing there alone, singled out, like she doesn’t belong.

Tonight it was especially heartbreaking. When we walked in, she was standing quietly behind the host stand by herself while everyone else laughed and talked to each other. She looked sad and completely left out. When she did try to ask a question, no one responded — they just kept talking like she wasn’t even there. She was very soft-spoken, overwhelmed, and clearly just trying to hold it together.

It’s painfully obvious that there’s favoritism going on, and that this poor girl has been pushed to the outside. Every time I’ve seen her, she looks exhausted — like she’s just a young woman trying to work hard, build toward something, and survive whatever she’s going through. She deserves kindness, not humiliation.

People forget that poor girl is a human being too. Everyone makes mistakes. No one deserves to be yelled at, ignored, or treated like they don’t exist. What’s happening in that restaurant is cruel and unprofessional, and it needs to change. Management and staff seriously need to do better — because this is absolutely heartbreaking to witness. I hope that beautiful young lady knows we see her and we know she’s trying.

Freshest, most delicious sushi I can remember having, ever. I had the lunch special of soup, salad w/house ginger dressing, and two sushi rolls for approx $12. I was full after the soup and salad, but once I tried the sushi, I couldn’t stop. I had the Philadelphia and spicy crab rolls and they were great choices. My daughter had the California roll, and she was also very pleased. So why 4 stars? The music was loud (which increased the volume of everyone talking over it) and none of the workers ever smiled or showed any signs of being friendly. It was good enough to go back anyway.
