Fuji is located in the River Hills Shopping Center on Highway 280.Fuji opened in December 2010 in the River Hills Shopping Center on Highway 280. Residents know this location as having been the home of Golden City Restaurant for many years.
Wei Wang, owner of Fuji, says he and his family have years of experience in the restaurant business. Having been friends with the former Golden City owners, Wang knew this would be a great location for his first restaurant. His preparation and work have paid off and Wang says Fuji offers diners a unique experience.
“We have something not found in this area...sushi, habachi and a buffet all for one price,” said Wang. “Many times customers want to try a new dish but don’t want a lot of extra pricing. This gives them the whole experience for an affordable price.”
His chefs and food preparers bring their experience to dining at Fuji. “Each staff member prepares what their specialty is,” explained Wang. “They’ve been hired for that reason and don’t switch around to different food stations. The result is food that is delicious, fresh and made the very best way.”
Habachi preparation is new to many diners. “We always take the time to explain it to customers,” said Wang. “By choosing the buffet, they can also have dishes prepared by our habachi chef. Meats including steak, chicken and seafood, vegetables and even rice are selected at the habachi station and cooked just the way they like. We then bring the order out to them.”
Fuji’s lunch buffet, which includes sushi and habachi, is only $6.95 per person at lunch and $8.95 at dinner. For children ages 3-5, the lunch buffet is $2.50 and for ages 6-10, it is $4.25. For the dinner buffet, ages 3-5 are $3.50 and ages 6-10 are $5.50. Children two and under are free.
Fuji also offers a complete menu of oriental dishes if you’re not in the mood for the buffet. A selection of “healthy” entrees are available such as steamed chicken and broccoli, steamed vegetable delight and steamed shrimp with mixed vegetables. These are served with white rice and sauce on the side.
Many types of sushi are available on the sushi bar. Fuji’s staff are ready to help you with your selection if you are a newcomer to this dish and can make recommendations. “Most of the time I tell someone to start with the California roll to see how they like it,” said Wang. “Once accustomed to the taste we have many other varieties to choose from.”
A party room is available by reservation for large groups and Fuji would love to host your next get-together.
