Fuji Grill Buffet

Hey its a Chinese buffet but one of the best I’ve been to. No crab legs but other than that very good. looks like the younger generation of the family has taken over and given it a more modern vibe.

Went here tonight. It’s in the former old country buffet. Huge variety. Full salad bar with lots of options, make it yourself phở and make it yourself hibachi. Lots of typical buffet food and also an American section. There were baked sweet potatoes which I thought was great. The staff were friendly but also mostly young and focused on their phones. The guy cooking the hibachi was texting on his phone the entire time. But the variety of food, the quality and price make up for the staff.

Delightful! They have build your own phở, hibachi, and soba or udon noodles. They have a huge amount of options on the buffets as well. They also have ginger salad dressing like you would find at a hibachi restaurant, which I absolutely love. Discovered this place on a whim one day and have been back several times. Also, the people watching is usually prime!

Food was good for the price. Could have been a little warmer. 4 of us went for dinner. We will be back. Price is what we can afford. Thanks.

Great selection of food, always pleased with the food, no complaints there.
Bathrooms do not have a baby changing area which is extremely fustrating. Although the place is busy, the servers don’t keep up with keeping the tables cleaned from dishes and keeping drinks full. Also on several occasions while eating there the staff doesn’t pay attention and will walk into you and not say excuse me. That’s rude. I would like to give 5 star but in fairness not having a place to change your baby is a big deal and servers who frequently bump into customers because they are simply not paying attention and not say anything to customer isn’t good.

It was around 7:45 PM on a cold Wednesday night when my date and I arrived at the infamous Fuji Grill Buffet. I heard the sushi was pretty good from the Unilocal reviews and I had it bookmarked for awhile so I thought why not? Plus I haven’t had sushi in awhile and I was starting to crave it real bad. It wasn’t too busy when we arrived. We were greeted immediately because we had to pay first before we sat down. With the $ 2 coupon I had printed out previously from valpak the total for two people including a beverage each and a 15% tip came to about $ 30. Eh… not bad. We made our way to the sushi section first of course and I have to say I wasn’t «wowed» by the selection, I was expecting more sashimi and nigiri, but I guess since we came late, things were dwindling down in production. Plus most of the sashimi and nigiri that were available seemed dried out, which is expected at times when you go to a buffet. However, we did manage to get a good variety of sushi rolls that were delicious. Our favorites were the spicy tuna roll and the shrimp tempura roll. I took advantage of the hibachi grill. They had a nice assortment of vegetables (mushrooms, jalapeño peppers, bell peppers, onions, broccoli), but only chicken and shrimp for the meat selection. No worries, I am a lover of shrimp so I happily obliged. There was also a Phở & Udon Noodle Station that looked really intriguing, but I didn’t have enough room after stuffing my face. The traditional buffet was just like any other place. Nothing special. A couple dishes that stood out: The Korean Short Ribs-​not too shabby, Coconut Shrimp-It’s true what the other Unilocalers said, and the Bourbon Chicken. Things to stay away from: Spring Rolls-​the filling was questionable, any of those mini cakes-​they crusty!, ice cream-​the flavors were dead… don’t know if that is even possible. Before you leave, make sure you try their donuts. Although we only had 1… that we shared… because they never refilled the donuts the whole time we were there, they can’t be missed. It was a shame to see random donuts lying on the floor wasting away like they weren’t special, because they are absolutely delicious!

This is hands down the best value for an Asian buffet. Lots of items to choose from and everything so far has been pretty good.
There’s a good selection of Chinese staples such as fried rice, noodles, beef, fish and chicken, as well as a few dim sum to choose from. There’s even American favorites such as ham, ribs, mac & cheese and mash. Good selection of sushi items and their fish quality isn’t too bad for a buffet. Their selection of seafood includes mussels, shrimp, crayfish, and clams but doesn’t include snow crab legs, however, for this price I don’t expect that. There’s also a hibachi grill and soup noodle station for udon and phở (which has gotten better)!
The biggest kicker for me is their crawfish! It’s fresh and delicious every time! I can’t think of a better place that offers AYCE crayfish. I’ve had this about a dozen times and it doesn’t get old.
The staff is quite attentive with clearing out plates and refilling drinks. The place was never too crowded but there are times where there’s a 20 – 30 min wait.

HOLY COW!!! $ 11 and all you can eat!!! Great variety of food, sushi selection was great but a little more would have been nice, food was fresh and very good! What more can I say!

We used to go across the street to Kumo semi regularly. There’s nothing wrong over there, but since we discovered Fuji we’ve been regulars. We’re there at least weekly for lunch, and probably monthly for dinner. The food is better and more affordable.
The food at Fuji has always been fresh and there’s a great selection. I can’t stand seafood, but my husband loves it. There’s plenty of options for both of us to be satisfied. On Sundays they have dim sum on top of the hibachi, sushi, and regular offerings. They even have decent «American» options for those who want that (kids, picky adults?). And the desserts are better than any of the other Asian buffets I’ve been to, and even most American food buffets!
It’s always been clean, the staff seems nice.
My only complaint is that they have the freezer soooo cold it’s quite difficult to get ice cream scooped out. But really, that’s not THAT big of a deal.

There was a hair in my fruit plate but that’s ok, I just got… another plate of something else, hmm… The phở was fishier than usual because I put octopus in it. But the sushi was still good here. I’m surprised by this visit but only mildly.

Three solid stars for good variety and quality at a fair price. Much better than Kumo across the street.
Venue: Fuji is very large so regardless of your party size you are always seated right away. You pay first which is nice because you can just pig out and leave. Not much décor but it’s a Chinese buffet so who cares. Place is very clean btw.
Service: I have only dined in for lunch but it still gets pretty crowded. Never had any complaints from the staff. They are always on point with the refills and clearing your table when you get up for more food.
Food: Compared to other buffets in the area, it’s one of the bigger ones with more variety. You have your typical Chinese but they also have seafood, salad bar, dessert bar, soup station, «American» station, and Sushi/​Hibachi. Quality of food is for the most part is pretty average.

This place has unseated Kumo as the go-​to Asian buffet. They offer almost everything Kumo does with better quality at a lower price. It’s a no brainer.
I’ve been a loyal customer to Kumo since they opened, and they know my family well, but I’ll be the first to admit they’ve fallen.
Fuji is my shiznit.

Bad food, too much MSG, you saw that a one penny in my food, there is no next time

Buffets are good because they have a good selection of food for a good price. Fuji Grill Buffet is a giant restaurant with a very large buffet area. It’s one of the largest I’ve seen in a good while.
You pay right up front which saves the hassle of waiting for a check when you’re finished eating. I don’t usually rate buffets on how the service is because the staff is always running around because there are so many people. I will say that the staff was pretty attentive for how large this restaurant is.
The restaurant is clean and so is the silverware and plates. Even though they have a lot of traffic, you can tell they don’t skip on cleanliness.
The sushi was wonderful, there were so many choices, far more than Kumo right across the street. The hot dishes were pretty much like any Chinese buffet fare. (I can’t go to one of these places without getting a teriyaki chicken stick). They had noodles and hibachi that I didn’t get to try, but I do plan on trying in the future. They had a good dessert selection as well. Lot’s of ice cream to choose from.
Overall, this was a decent experience. I

Visited for a late lunch on a weekday. The place was still surprisingly full, considering we were well past the typical lunch hour. I’d say Fuji is generally above average for a Chinese buffet. I think it’s biggest strengths are cleanliness and variety of non-​Asian food offerings, if that’s what you’re looking for. They have more American style food on the buffet than I’ve seen at most places — the typical pizza and potato wedges, but also macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes. There really wasn’t anything here that was a surprise or new for me, which to me is a negative. The sushi selection was just ok, nothing exciting. My favorite dish was probably the salmon, and my husband said his was the ice cream (just standard hand-​dipped, serve yourself).
The worst part was the service. We got very little service — had to find our own straws, only got a single drink refill, and our dirty dishes piled up.
I don’t think anyone would regret eating here, but there was nothing distinctive enough to make me want to come back.
For those who prefer Kumo (across the street — I think I do), if you get the coupons in the local circulars they end up being the same price for lunch ($ 6.99).

One of the better buffets in the area. I am sure that the people over at Kumo are worried, as this place is a little cheaper, but offers the same, if not better, quality food.
There is a wide range of buffet food here, not just your typical offerings. Sushi, Phở, and Mongolian grill. I agree with other reviews that there are too many American offerings. That’s the absolute last thing I want to see at an Asian buffet. Stop catering to fat, unadventurous Americans!
Staff is awesome! Very attentive and great with the kids. Place is very clean. Like brand new clean. Which is not something one could say about the former business at this location.

Visited Fuji buffet with the family this past weekend. I was not impressed, but my wife was, so I’m giving three stars.
Items that stood out in my mind: baked fish, salmon, sushi, chicken on a stick, and ice tapioca pudding. All of these items were pretty decent, but most of the other stuff was over steamed, like the green beans. I find that this restaurant lacks passion. Honestly, I’d rather go across the street to Kumo, but again, my wife liked it. My kids didn’t complain either. The waitress offered to refill my drink when we were leaving, which didn’t help my empty cup and dry mouth throughout the meal.
They also had a small American fare offering, but it was unremarkable and very over cooked, so I skipped that.
I liked the sushi, but again, not as good as Kumo. Not sure that we’ll be back, even though it was a couple bucks cheaper than Kumo.

I have been here 2x. This place was good considering the price point. The only thing to compare in the Cleveland is Kumo. And considering Kumo is 5 or 6 $ more than this place is a no brainer. Sushi was decent, just as good as Kumo, maybe even better. I did ask them to make me something and they did not.
The oyster s were good and pleantiful, however could have been cleaned better. Shashimi was always filled, and their sushi was not playing the game of let’s rice these rolls up so you have to pick it off.
Typical Chinese, Americanized Chinese, fresh and not to greasey. My only gripe is they could have more seafood dishes.
The hibachi and phở stations impressed. The night we went the phở broth was really good, like stupid good. The hibachi was prepared really well. I got my shellfish buzz from that station. Flavorful and not drenched in oil.
I really see no reason to go to Kumo, beg for sashimi, oysters, and fight over cold snow crab, when I can get the same or better right across the street for 35% less yuan.

WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! Ok now that I got that out of the way, lets get on to the review. My family visited this place when it first opened and they said that it was pretty quiet and not a lot of people in the restaurant. I thought to myself «yeah mom because it’s probably dirty and the food is probably all fried with a bunch of crazy sauces.» So when my parents suggested I go with them this past weekend to try it, I wanted to go in with an open mind.
An open mind was not needed after walking into the place. The first thing you see is modern décor and warm colors. You are greeted by a friendly face where you pay before eating. A hostess asked us where we wanted to sit (nice gesture). Our table was clean and the atmosphere of the place was great. Very modern, warm and clean. There are big TVs on either side which make it nice to watch some news or sports.
There is so much food and so much variety that I didn’t know where to begin. I saw sushi, hibachi, coconut shrimp, soups, ice creams, broccoli salad, lo mein and the list goes on and on. I wanted everything. I knew I needed to be strategic of what I got so I just got a little of everything that looked good. Oh the mussels, yes they looked good.
We usually go to Kumo, and I’m sure we will continue to go there too but this place is pretty awesome and for the price you can’t beat it. We are a huge Romanian-​American Chinese and Japanese eating family so Kumo and this place will definitely be visited often, very often.

Take away points from this trip:
— The sushi was beauitful and delicious
— the hot food was hot and yummy
— the price was extremely cheap ($ 14 for two people)
I decided to visit again out of curiousity, this time because it was a busy day and I hadn’t had a bite to eat yet– I was starving. It’s kind of weird to go to a place again two days later, but I was curious to try the takeout. Was not disappointed. I got a box of sushi and sashimi, and a big box of hot food. the total came to $ 14, and the box was able to feed both my husband and myself until we were full. :)
I AM SO GLAD THIS PLACE IS RIGHT NEXT TO MY HOUSE!
