Had a great dinner with friends who loved the hibachi, but our family enjoyed a great variety of sushi -- the specialty rolls were delightful, but my favorite was the sashimi and seaweed salad -- it was incredible... Would definitely eat there again in the future!!‎

Worst sushi I've ever had. Sick for 24 hours twice out of three visits and every one else that had the sushi that night was just as sick. Had a coworker take clients there and they all got sick too. Never had food poisoning before but this happened within an hour of eating. Should have known when the Tuna tasted brined.‎

Since I found out how much I like sushi, I've made it a point to try to visit at least one sushi restaurant in every city I visit. I haven't yet made it to one on the coast, but I've tried many inland sushi restaurants, including all those currently open in Des Moines. Fuji is the only one that has never disappointed me, and I've now been having lunch there approximately once a week for a year, and several dinners besides. Naturally, people's taste in sushi will vary some, but I continually have troubles with other restaurants' sushi not being as fresh as I'd like-- and to add insult to injury, it's often masked by wasabi, even if I ask for my sushi without any. I appreciate that Fuji allows you to add your own wasabi should you choose to do so, and in all my frequent visits, I've only ever found two pieces of fish that tasted at all "off." Neither of those was bad compared to what I've encountered at plenty of other restaurants. I' ...

my wife and i had a very nice time at fujis. if you do not know what teppenyaki is, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teppanyaki. it is basically being entertained as the chef cooks your food. we had the lunch specials so i cannot comment on the dinner portions but the lunch portions were definitely filling. we ordered the steak and shrimp lunch special as well as the scallops special... very good stuff. the teppenyaki artist, mike, was very skillful and did the whole show: onion volcano, cracking the egg in half with his utensil after twirling the egg... very enjoying if you've never seen it. i thought it was even better than places i went to back in los angeles. all you want in a good meal: good food, good environment, friendly waiters/servers and a good price. definitely go back again.‎

The restaurant is pretty new. Decoration is quite decent. It has four parts: sports bar, dinning tables, sushi bar and grills. I went there a couples times. Overall feeling is the food is quite good, service is nice. Don't blame me that I am a raw fish lover! The grill can seat 12 guests and chef is in the center to cook food in front of you. Chef plays his utilities with all kinds of trick, also let guests to pick small pieces of food from air. It is full of fun, kids just love it. My favorite is the sashimi. One of the sushi bar chefs is quite creative; he will place your dish with different decoration and style. One example is he places the spider roll with a chocolate web. Also recommend to go there on Tuesday. Martini is about $4 and all the sushi/sashimi/roll has special price. I have been a couple of bit city to taste the Japanese food. This restaurant is in Ames , such a small town. It surprises me that I can find a decent Japanese food here. But compare with other kind of ...
