Fuji’s Clackamas

Service has been getting better every time we find ourselves in Happy Valley. For example, my wife’s Ribeye was overcooked, and they quickly took it off the bill. There was no interrogation, no suggestion of impropriety… it was as it should be. And for this simple interaction they will keep me as a customer. Satisfaction is given while not expected. They still got the love…

Not authentic Japanese food. Not even very close, really. The restaurant has the ambiance more of a bar than a Japanese restaurant. Not for me.

«It’s like Benihana’s» I was told as I wandered here for a birthday. Yes, the good setup is similar (look an Onion volcano) but that is where the similarities end.
The restaurant is half sushi train bar and bar and they have 4 or 5 grills. The place was packed for a Wednesday night in October, which I saw as a good sign. The staff were all friendly and they seated 13 of us (keep in mind we made reservations.)
The food options are great, they have a ton of Sushi and it’s actually fairly cheap. Some of the people went with just sushi, I opted for just a few different pieces. It was good sushi and a good idea to get some since it took a while for the chef to get to us.
The chef was a funny guy and did the normal tricks one does when cooking on a flat iron grill for a crowd. He had our orders pretty dialed in and didn’t mess anything up! Which is impressive since there were 13 of us and he was the ONLY chef on duty.
The best part about this place, other than the food tasting amazing, is the quantity. When I go to Benihanas and they give me tiny portions and I drop 60+ on myself (drinks, of course) I expect to be full. This is just a «Fat Americans need huge portions» it is I’m actually hungry. At Fuji’s they LOAD you up with food. Albeit mainly rice or noodles/​veggies but I love all of that stuff! Every single person who ordered a meal had leftovers.
I was really please with Fuji’s. It is not that «upscale» feeling you get at Benihana’s which, by the way, Benihana’s is not a «fancy» restaurant. It’s a chain when parents take kids to watch chefs to food trick… I really don’t hate Mr. Benihana, why am I killing them right now?
I digress, Fuji’s has TV’s so we could catch the Blazer game, good drinks, great food and good service. The one beef when we went, they were under staffed so we were there for close to two hours. I expected to be there eong, I just felt bad for our waitress, she was all over the place!
I was very happy with this place and if I didn’t live in St. John’s I’d be back sooner than later!

I’m not sure why people have hated on this place. Had a great time with family here. Food was amazing and chefs were really interactive. Was a great time. It’s pricey but you pay for the show too. Had the ribeye and teriyaki chicken with fried rice. I will definitely be back!

The sushi chefs should not be allowed to wield sushi knives!!! They demonstrate little knowledge of the art let alone the items on the menu. Case in point: I requested tempura nigiri was was presented with a warm tempura maki. The tempura was cold and the rice was warm. Yuck. とても不味い。
I’ve been here several times before and the service and food EARNED FOUR STARS! Consistently! But after today’s go around, I had to say something.
Word to the wise — don’t trust the sushi mechanics to get it right… Order from the kitchen instead.

Love this place. Nice atmosphere. The two sushi chefs that are usually there in the evenings are exceptional. They’ll walk you thru any questions and find items you’ll like then make them fresh to order.

I love fujis! By far my favorite. Love the habanero masago it’s delicious and so is the Atlanta fire my favs. The sushi chefs are friendly so that’s a plus. The only thing I don’t like is one of the servers always puts lemon in my water even when I don’t ask and I really don’t care for that I like the flavor of water the way it is feel lemon taints it.

First-​off, let me lay out a disclaimer that I’m going to be picky!!! Averaging more than $ 30 a plate in a strip mall setting deserves that.
The staff was very friendly!!!
The sushi was very good. We all enjoyed our rolls.
The soups were simply terrible.
The salads were very unique… i wouldn’t say bad, but it would take a rare individual to like it. I liked it, no one else at the table did. The oniony flavor is still in my mouth from 3 days ago… which is weird. (I’m one of those weirdos who brush, floss, and mouthwash after every snack so its not a hygiene thing)
The fried veggies were great! Too much butter and salt, but they were done perfectly.
We all had either the fried rice or the yakisoba. The chef’s «show» was okay… again, it felt out of place. Watching the cubes of butter being thrown into the already fried food bothered me. Once it came to me, I enjoyed the first few bites. Then the salt and grease started to get to me. I smiled and enjoyed the company we were with and then threw out my food once we left. Its hard to toss out two plates of spendy fried rice, but I couldn’t take it anymore.
I would never go back. The recipes NEED to be rethought before I’d consider it.

Been here twice… The first time (maybe a year ago) I was craving this teppanyaki place back home, so we looked up a few places and chose to have dinner here. It was not bad, but not super memorable. A little pricey, but pretty normal for dinner, I guess.
Tried this place again a few days ago for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised at how satisfied I was with the food AND service. First off, I read the reviews before coming here so I was expecting the service not to be as great, but our server was very attentive and friendly. It wasn’t so busy though… I think there may have been two other couples there.
Now the food… I ordered the steak from the grill portion of the menu and the fiancé ordered the chicken katsu. Both came with a simple salad with a tasty dressing and then we picked up a couple plates of sushi off the belt. The portions were large and definitely worth the price. Had the rainbow roll, which was, well, a rainbow roll. It’s hard to mess this one up, but I have to say that the piece of salmon on top was a very nice piece of fish. I actually just ate it as a sashimi and then tried the Fuji sauce with the rest of the roll. And that sauce is delicious, spicy and non-​spicy! Apparently, they have bottled those bad boys up and you can purchase it to take home.
The food came out quick, and we had a very nice lunch. We will definitely be back!

This review is for their conveyor belt sushi.
So the bad… the conveyor belt sushi was terrible and over priced. When you are in the Portland area (I know this is in Happy Valley but…) and everyone else is doing generic sushi for about $ 2 bucks a plate and you are going to charge $ 3-​$ 5, your plated sushi better be damn amazing. It wasn’t. I felt everything we pulled from the belt was extremely blah…
The good…
The Fuji spicy mayo sauce is amazing. They do something crazy with it but that orange spicy sauce is definitely amazing. It’s definitely not your ordinary spicy mayo. Has some sort of kick that gives it a 5^th dimension.
Ordering from the menu, sushi items were actually good. My wife said that the Albacore was really good, and if we ever came back, that was all she would order.
Service was also pretty friendly

Always very attentive and friendly.
The food we normally get take out and is always fresh and usually is very good.
Only reason for four stars is every once in a while it’s not as good as the last .But all and all this is a place we visit regularly and the only sushi place we will go to in this area.

When we first arrived we almost didn’t go in to dine because we honestly thought it was just a lottery bar, but after reviewing the Unilocal reviews again we parked and had a good experience. The service and the food was good, a bit more expensive then some of sushi go rounds in the Lloyd District but we were more then happy to pay for a better experience. The deep fried green tea ice cream was fresh and tasty. We drove all the way out from the city to check this place out and we are glad we did. We will return with friends and family. The staff gets it.

Best sushi around! This place never disapoints! Vegas role all the way. If i could i would eat here everyday

This is my absolute favorite place to go for sushi. Their Fuji sauce is the most delicious thing ever. The only downfall for me is that they are not open for lunch on weekends.

Absolutely love it here! My friends and I try to come at least once a week on Sunday’s after our car meet! Never liked sushi but after eating some the other day here I love it

Great local place to come and have some sushi. I live close and love coming here with my family. Met the owner (who actually sometimes makes your sushi behind the counter). Great quality and pricing is good!

Visited Fuji’s on a recommendation from a friend, as I was visiting Portland from out of town. Went at lunch time, so the place wasn’t too busy. The Sushi chef was very friendly and quick at making what I ordered. (Dynamite Roll is AMAZING — but extremely hot/​spicy, worth it if you can take it). Service was very good and very quick. I’d definitely eat here again.

Best Sushi in this area! They have conveyor belt if you just can’t decide and you want to just pick up what looks good. They also make it to order. Their Sushi Chefs are really great, fast, precise and make beautiful, tasty food. We try to go when Eric is there because he always arranges our orders in a beautiful platter that looks as good as it tastes. I love their California Rolls with extra Tobiko! YUM! And he makes the fried calamari fresh without garlic, so I can have some too. Try their noodle bowls, Even my friends who don’t care for sushi can get awesome tasty food here with their hibachi style cooking or noodle bowls. Love this place. Oh and the Happy Hour prices are unbeatable!

This review is for the Teppanyaki only. We never had any other dishes. We love coming to this place. Tons of great tasting food and drinks. Very entertaining as well. I can only recommend this restaurant

They remodeled! Nice, modern-​ish looking Japanese place that is great if you’re in the area and looking for good sushi. If you’re into raw fish then even better because Fuji has some pretty fresh, fatty slices. Honestly, the price is decent in comparison to other authentic sushi joints. This is not a restaurant that are just putting some rice and «fish» together and called it «sushi».
Also, if your favorite «sushi» is California rolls then don’t bother coming here. This is suppose to be authentic! I am actually glad there is a place like this in Clackamas for me to go to when I am visiting my parents. Shall be back to try their grill instead of going to Benihana!
Great for groups because they have tables, also great for singles because they have a conveyor belt.
