Fujiyama-ya Japanese - San Francisco

Fujiyama serves an Americanized menu. You know, the bento boxes, the teriyaki dishes and the sushi rolls etc. Tonight, I had an urge to get some saba mackerel) $12) and shrimp tempura $7. The food wasn't bad. The shrimp tempura had a good crispy and crumby batter. But the shrimp tasted powdery. The saba tasted ok. It wasn't great. I'm not sure why they served it with orange slices. Usually, I like mine a bit salted with some lemon and perhaps some grated daikon radish. I did like how they served teriyaki sauce on the side. Sweet teriyaki sauce served on top would have ruined that grilled salty saba taste. Service wasn't bad. I wasn't served tea or checked on after my food arrived as they were pretty busy. The food did come out in a reasonable amount of time. My tab with a large beer was $35 with tax and tip. I'm glad they were open and the little old women working is still doing it after all these year. Good for her.

It was good. I got House Bento Box (Beef Teriyaki Combo Tempura Sashimi Gyoza). I thought the teriyaki sauce was too goopy and thick for the thin slices of meat like it haf too much corn starch in it. Otherwise the Tempura and Sashimi and Gyoza was good.

The food was great, fresh and good portions. Decent prices and friendly staff.

Locally owned, friendly owners with great quality sushi at affordable prices! I really enjoy their sukiyaki and they also have a three item bento box for a very reasonable price $20 after tax and tip includes teriyaki, sashimi, tempura, gyoza, salad and rice! Come enjoy!

And I just wanted to add that Ester is amazing she can handle that busy place all by herself and at the same time making everyone feel special.I 've been going here since the '80s it 's as good now as it was then they are so friendly and if you have any questions they 're willing to take the time and tell you everything you need to know they make you feel right at home and the prices aren 't bad I would recommend going to Fujiyama believe me you want to go back. Everything is so delicious and so fresh.
