We were a party of 10, it was a great service with delicious food, not huge portions but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanks!! :) Don't really understand some of the negative comments below

Amazing food and really good service and atmosphere. Only downside is the price but almost worth it for the experience! Definitely will be coming back though.
Had a wonderful tasty and entertaining dinner - enjoyed the set menu with lots of variety. Will certainly be back in the future. No idea why this place has a low rating, its much much than that.
Been here with a group of friends we find it really entertaining the teppanyaki is really fun and great experience, chefs have great service! Food was decent too and especially if you go with a group of people for the teppanyaki service!
Great fun!! the food was delicious, the chef was entertaining and got everyone at the table involved. We ordered the set menu which was a great choice, enjoyed a variety of foods and everything was fresh and hot - the bonus of it being cooked in stages in front of you. Unfortunately not all of us managed to catch the egg (or the rice) but it only served to make the experience more fun.
Came here for dinner on a Monday night and ordered the Tokyo set menu. Our chef for the night, Tony, delivered a scrumptious feast which I could hardly fault. The highlights included melt-in-the-mouth fish along with a tender and juicy steak and succulent chicken. These were delivered alongside an impressive display of lightening fast knife skills and hotplate fire antics. We were also challenged to catch our food - an amusing and exciting way to start our meal. I would firmly recommend Fujiyama as a reasonably priced, friendly and entertaining dining experience, not to be overlooked by anyone in Wellington.
I was a bit worried about going due to the not so great reviews, but I had a great experience!!!
My husband and I took our 4 children to the restaurant last night and were greeted with friendly staff and seated in front of a grill.
We ordered a set menu and the chef was great, and the kids loved the show he put on and so did we.
The food was great and the service was amazing.
A Great restaurant for families as well as couples

Main Thing Food Was Good Waited A Long Time For The Chef To Come To Our Table The Menu Looks Like It Was From Years Ago,Too Little Staff and The Place Needs To Be Renovated. Overall It was Not Bad The Food Really Paid Up For The Cons But I will Come Another Time To Try Other Stuff Because They Had Lots Of Good Stuff On The Menu! Will Recommend To Try It Out!

I was pleasantly surprised when my partner and our close friends decided to take me here for my birthday last Friday 31/10/2014 - I had thought that we were going to the Ramen Shop in Newtown.
It was my first time to Fujiyama, although having been to Japan before and also having eaten teppanyaki in Auckland at Daikoku a number of times, I knew what to expect. I was blown away - yes, the restaurant is owned and operated by Chinese (not ideal for a Japanese restaurant), but the service was exceptional, as was the food.
Our chef did a great job of making our dinner a cooking performance, making us catch eggs (my partner missed his), bits of omelette, and bowls of rice. The food tasted amazing, and they chilled our wine for us (which we brought - BYO), ensuring it continued to taste fresh and cool throughout our evening.
While Fujiyama has a slightly hefty price tag (we went for Set B, which is $30 a person), it is a great treat, and you feel very full afterwards so it is great value for money. I would totally recommend Fujiyama :-)
This is a really fun way to enjoy japanese BBQ food. The chef cooks the meal in front of you and you play several games trying to catch the flying egg pieces. Definitely entertaining. Fujiyama is one of the only places to have casual fun and enjoy a delicious meal at the same time. The prawns were definitely my favourite which was cooked in a special japanese sauce and the teriyaki chicken was tender and moist. The steak was also a highlight for our family. We had an absolute wonderful time and will definitely be coming back.
Visited for my daughter's 18th Birthday, table of nine. Yes,drinks were very slow to arrive but the food was amazing. Everyone was friendly and the rice-bowl catching wonderful. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend it to anyone! Thank you! ありがとう
I’ve been coming to this place for years and are in my top 3 restaurants in Wellington. Food is always so flavourful and tasty with good portion sizes. The vegetarian set is delicious and is my new favourite. They play interactive games which are always fun for the kids. The guy at the counter is always so welcoming and nice. I wish I caught the name of the chef that I had last time because he is my favourite and cooks everything perfectly.
Had a really awesome dinner here with my family. It was my first time experiencing the food being made in front of me. Even though we shared an extended dining table with other patrons, it felt very private nonetheless! The ‘cooking show’ was so much fun for us all, and we were in awe at the chef’s amazing talent. He was very engaging and friendly and the food was incredible. Very filling and it was quite nice having breaks in between each different meal to watch and chat and enjoy each thing that was made. Catching the rice and the egg was hilarious! The food was all mouth watering and the ice cream at the end topped it off. We all really enjoyed ourselves and the staff were all lovely. Nice authentic gem to find in the Wellington foodie scene! Will definitely be returning. I recommend the emperor meal (sorry if I have that wrong. It was the $65 set meal and included fish, chicken, steak, rice, green tea, ice cream etc)
I went there with my partner to have dinner the first day of the year and we had such a good time.
The chef was amazing and entertained us with his teppan skills, plus the food was absolutely delicious.
Even if they were clearly understaffed, our server did his best to serve our drinks as fast as he could, which was very appreciated.
100% recommended.
Great food & entertainment! Love this place! The best part is that it's only a short stroll from the crowded spots, just don't tell too many people 😄

Been here many times over the years. Consistent, quality, delicious food every time. If Ben is your chef, you're in for a good time. Would recommend the Kai Set. Fujiyama is a must try.
A fun family eatery with fresh food and a live show of teppanyaki grill cooking. Teppan grilling are typically propane-heated, flat-surfaced, and are widely used to cook food in front of guests at Japanese restaurants. The knife show at these premises are basic, but fun for the family.
Me and my son loved it. Couldn't ask for better service and cooking. Thanks heaps
Our team had our Christmas party here today and all had a wonderful time. They opened for lunch just for us and had one very skilled staff member who made the drinks, cooked the food, entertained us and then took our payment. He was amazing, so patient and friendly, didn't try to rush us. Thanks so much for a lovely time. 😊
Food is absolutely delicious here. Everything thing is delicious and the overall experience of the food being prepared it excellent. I enjoyed the whole night and portion size is perfect. I would recommend this place to everyone.
