“ Very straightforward Japanese food. Sushi bar was small and crowded in by take out preparation and close tables. That detracted from the fun of watching experienced chefs make the art. We also had a very loud bunch right behind us at a table so loitering over a sake was just not going to happen. We ate and dashed. ”
“ Update: lunch specials are a great deal, especially the sushi rolls with soup or salad. However, you do get what you pay for: rolls are cut pretty unevenly and sometimes coming apart by the time they're served to you. But overall fish is tasty and a good value. Another good lunch from Mt. Fuji. This time, we did takeout on the way to the airport and made everyone jealous in the terminal with our fresh, delicious and pretty bento boxes! This certainly beats any restaurant food, especially at less than 15 per person. ”
