I wrote a review for this place back in 2007 raving about how excellent their food was, now I'm back in 2010 to tell a different story.
My boyfriend and I had a date night that brought us to Mt. Fuji. I love to sit at the sushi bar and he is still learning what he likes in the world of sushi - so we are seated at the sushi bar.
His plate is dirty... the first in many steps of disappointment. In short, because I could be here for awhile otherwise, our service was awful! The server brought us drinks of our neighbors, then brought the things we asked for to someone else. We order our sushi and enjoy a large plate of several things, all very bland and lacking in flavor. Our large plate sits in front of us for quite some time, which is something I've never experienced in a sushi restaurant, so long in fact that we had to stack our new sushi plate on top of it after ordering a few more rolls. The plates remained until we walked out the door.
A couple was seated next to us and in the middle of placing their order the server walked away to tend to someone else. Our other neighbors were brought a dirty wine glass which was replaced with a chipped wine glass with something floating in it.
The restroom looked very dirty and unkept. The large stall door was unattached and laying in the middle of the floor.
I feel like this place is becoming run down. I try my best to be fair and not judge on one experience, but it's fair to say I will not be going to back Mount Fuji ever. If I want sushi in Maple Grove, I will head to Bennihana. Some times the bad outweighs the good...
Pros: great location
Cons: horrible service, run down
