About
The teppanyaki table at Fuji, inside San Jose's Crowne Plaza, is the whole reason to come - reserve it, because the chef's show is half the meal. Salmon, shrimp, ribeye and lobster come off the grill just right, the miso soup gets a nod, and everyone remembers the finale: banana and cake caramelized on the grill with fried ice cream. Sushi's fine, but the grill's the star.

Fuji Restaurant at the Crown Plaza is such a great spot to unwind and enjoy a good meal. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, and the staff really make you feel taken care of without ever being over the top. It’s the kind of place where you can just relax and enjoy yourself. The food is absolutely delicious. The salmon and shrimp teppanyaki were cooked perfectly—tender, flavorful, and just the right amount of sizzle. The miso soup was spot-on too, rich and comforting in that way only a really good miso can be. And then came the grand finale—the banana foster dessert. Wow. Sweet, flavorful, and so satisfying, it was the perfect way to end the meal.
Walked in last min and the manager made sure we were able to be seated once the next table cleared, the staff was great the food was great beef was good and show was entertaining, overall had a great family dinner everyone laughed was a good experience.
Fuji was an excellent find while in San Jose. You do need reservations for the teppanyaki table, so do do that. The service was excellent. The food was prepared just right. The chef makes a good show, and the flavors were amazing. The highlight for us was the dessert of course. They caramelize the cake and banana on the grill. And then they add icecream to the grill!! A couple of scoops are then fried and dried into sticky wafer. And all of these come together in a heavenly combo. This was a unique angle to the teppanyaki experience for us. Service was amazing and friendly. And we liked it that they confirmed the order to make sure all is prepared well. Overall, a must stop. We will be remembering that dessert for a while.
