Fujiyama Teppanyaki Japanese Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

Been here a few times and the food is always of a decent standard. However last night me and my girlfriend decided to try a couple of different sushi options and one of them was crab. I was absolutely perplexed when they brought out our sushi with two crab sticks adorned on them. When I indicated to the waiter that we expected some sort of fresh crab meat he laughed awkwardly. For the price you pay your can get much better food elsewhere, you mainly pay for the theatre. Unfortunately after £130+ for two dinners, one bottle of wine and two soft drinks, I will not be back again.

Awesome food. Mesmerising and entertaining. Best salmon we’ve had in a long while. Great price, too. A great venue for next milestone celebration.

Always fantastic Great, friendly and talented staff

Brilliant for groups, probably the bigger the better. We were just under 20 around two of the hot plates and weren’t too snug. It’s a good bit of craic with the chefs. Definitely recommend getting a pot of green tea to help pace you if you’re drinking as it’s a lush palate cleanser between the tapas-sized servings that are served straight to your plate.

Absolutely fantastic meal paired with an exceptional night of entertainment. The head chef is outstanding—a great person who truly knows how to cook. I highly recommend the steak from the set menu; it’s melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

Excellent meal for a birthday celebration. We all got the Royale set meal, absolute bargain, plenty of top class food, the chef was great fun engaging everyone at the table making it a very special night. Highly recommended.

The decoration of the restaurant is relatively old-fashioned, not Japanese-style as expected. Although the food is generally normal, the set lunch at noon is good, the portion is very big, the service attitude of the staff is very good, the teppanyaki chef's performance skills are great, and he interacts directly with the guests. It has a good atmosphere, such as Newcastle, this store is highly recommended to everyone, it is worth a try👍

Great service and loads of fun - especially being there in a huge group. Food was plentiful and tasty.

Fantastic!! Great value for money and service 👍

It was wonderful, not only was the food delicious but the whole teppanyaki experience was lovely with the chef cooking most of our food right in front of us, chatting with us, cracking eggs and jokes at the same time, it was great

Food was lovely, Chef Lito was great and very funny. Decor could do with updating.

We came for my daughter's birthday. Service was great, chef was brilliant and the food was amazing as usual.

Firs time in Fujiyama and definitely not the last. Great experience - lovely chef 👩‍🍳 who prepares the food in front of the table. The food is great as well and the price is fair. Thank you 👍

Absolutely fantastic place. The food was outstanding and the Chefs were brilliant cooks and entertainment. I recommend you go hungry beforehand and try one of the banquet options. The Salmon and Fillet were unreal.

Awesome as ever, great food and excellent service

It was really good food. My son says it's the best food he ever tasted. The lady that served us liked One Piece (manga series) and she spent ages talking to my son about it. He loved it!

Fantastic food and a great experience. Only issue is it feels very rushed! If you like a speedy service then this place is a win

This is the second time we've been to Fujiyama and both times were pleasant and really fun. The chefs have a little routine they put on for all groups, celebrating birthdays, promoting group interaction while they're cooking up your food on a group sized teppanyaki grill. Choose your food from the menu, price per meal ranges from £25-50, we had seafood royale (included half a lobster), I went for the meat feast. Food was great, portions are sizeable, fun n laughter throughout, about a 90 minute experience. This is a great place for an alternative dining experience and cannot fault the staff at all. The chefs are hilarious, the waiting staff pleasant and professional, and there are 4 teppanyaki grills each which host around 6-10 people. It is important to BOOK ahead of your visit as they do not offer walk-ins, at least I was told they don't. This is probably one of the top dining experiences I've had in Newcastle, total cost of our meal plus drinks came to £85-90, we left a tip of course, they truly deserve it. Don't be that guy/girl who doesn't tip. 10-20% is a good suggestion.

Amazing food, staff and experience!!

Great birthday, loved it and the service and food was brilliant

Amazing restaurant and the staff are so friendly! Booked for 4:30pm, they allowed us to bring it forward to 4:00pm. Upon entering and leaving, the staff were nice and friendly and they did not rush us out when we were finished. The venue itself is nice and clean. There's lots of choice and the food is cooked right in front of you. Attended as a party of 4, and we were sat at the cooking workstation. I highly recommend sitting in these seats if you're lucky enough to, just don't wear too much hair gel 🤣 The cuts of meat looked really nice and they tasted even better. Whilst the dishes are reasonably priced, the soft drinks can be on the pricey side (pesky dry-January!) We ordered three main dishes and a kids meal, with a side order of scallops, which were so soft and tender as well as really nice. The bill overall was quite expensive, however the food was of very good quality and we did order quite a bit. The price of the soft drinks pushed the overall price of the meal up, methinks. Overall, I feel I paid for a meal and a show; the chef was so entertaining and engaging with the customers. And as a bonus, the food is cooked right in front of you too. Will be attending again in the near future. Thank you to all the staff working on the day my family and I visited.

2nd time ibe been here and won't be my last. Love it here. Amazing food and service. Lito was our chef and what an amazing chef he is.

Great atmosphere enjoyed every minute of it

Great food, great chef and staff.

Fantastic experience all round. 7 family sat round a table with the hot plate for everyone to enjoy the chef's skills and be entertained whilst being served delicious food. More than a meal and one you'll never forget. Excellent service in a themed restaurant make for a wonderful experience. The prices are great for what you get. It's not really expensive, but don't expect it to be cheap. If it were cheap you would wonder where they cut corners. It is value for the money.

This place is absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We all left with a smile! Service is lovely and they are very attentive in every aspect, interaction between the guests and chef is great too this time we came for a birthday and he made a lovely birthday message too which was a lovely touch. The food is unbelievable so tasty and cooked to perfection. Thank you for a making our night fantastic

The cooks are brilliant. The service great. Good laugh and you feel welcomed .

Such a great night, out with work friends, which the chefs at work is something to behold and so much fun, lots of laughs and the food was amazing.

The chefs make it a real dining experience

Love this place, food food, if you need anything just ask and they will try to accommodate, kid friendly

Visited the Fujiama Teppanyaki restaurant, and it was a fantastic experience! Chefs were skilled and entertaining, and each dish was a flavorful delight. The atmosphere was perfect for any occasion, and the service was outstanding. Highly recommend for an unforgettable dining adventure!

Amazing experience and great value

It was like a culinary group therapy session with militant gays, ex prisoners and drunk Scots all being entertained and fed by an incomprehensible Japanese chef whose stand up routine only became funny after lashings of saki. Spring loaded chop sticks made it look like l eat here all the time. Very enjoyable evening

Really fun experience! The chef was fantastic with my nephew's who had an amazing time

Love this place, food is amazing beautiful atmosphere and the staff are very helpful 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ Would definitely recommend a visit.

The food was amazing taste sensation

Very good for first time and special occasion but it is a novelty and not a filling as I would’ve liked. Food was lovely and staff were friendly.

坐在桌边，厨师现场制作美食，十足的有锅气。另外还有有趣的互动。完全不一样的美食体验。

Had a great time chef was brilliant crack

The platter we got was very good, we enjoyed every meat and seafood dish served. For a Japanese restaurant though, it was extremely disappointing that they won't serve sushi and sahimi on the weekends. Would not recommend this place if you are craving sushi and sashimi as their choices are also limited. Very entertaining teppan chef though. He made up with his flair and humor but we were really disappointed. NO SASHIMI AND SUSHI ON WEEKENDS!!!!

Celebrated a number of family birthdays here and the atmosphere, quality of the food and lovely staff never fails to impress. Tonight,our Grandaughter's 21st, was no exception. Fabulous

Great experience, and the food was amazing

員工服務態度極度友善😊廚師表演非常有技術，非常樂意開玩笑😃極度推薦的好餐廳👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The most enjoyable meal I’ve ever had! The food was delicious but the amazing chefs (especially our chef Chucky) stole the show. What a special meal!

A great and unique experience at a place which offers great food and a very entertaining chef. We will certainly be going back again

Nie tylko doskonale Teppanyaki ale przepiękny kulinarny teatr dla dużych i małych. Przyszliśmy na dobry obiad a dostaliśmy kulinarny spektakl. Na pewno tu wrócimy. Jedyne co trzeba zaplanować to czas, aby móc się rozkoszować

Would put less stars if possible. We came in at 9:24PM since they close at "11PM". The waitress didn't even welcome us and just looked at her watch then left. She spoke to the "boss" and told us we can't come in because they closed the kitchen. We ended up going to Hanahana that closes at "10pm", but welcomed us very properly and sat us straight away. Adjust your closing times and know how to treat customers! Not recommended at all!

lovely night out for my daughters birthday

I do love this place, we go fairly infrequently, but we have been going since it opened, which was quite a while ago now. Im partial to a teppan from time to time and i always enjoy this one. .

First time visit on a friend's recommendation. Great choice on the drinks menu and the 3 options for lunch ranged in price with similar choices and extras if needed. Chef cooks in front of you on your own personal hot plate and he was fantastic. Food was delicious and well priced. Will go again to try bight time options. Great time and experience.

Outstanding experience as always. Can't wait to return. Thank you

Simply spot on. Impulsive date night with hubby. Didn't make a reservation but they kindly found a space for us. Food spot on and tasty. Staff quite accommodating and friendly.

Amazing food and a fun atmosphere for all ages. A mix of dining and theatre.

The food was nice. The staff was friendly. We had a wonderful time.

Great night out. The chef was good class

Went as a couple. Wonderful atmosphere and gorgeous food!

This place is amazing I came from London for a visit, I would come back just to eat here again, great Chef enjoyed

Great service, food was amazing

Great place. The chefs are very friendly and entertaining. Food was great. Definitely recommend.

Best teppanyaki! Food tastes amazing, portion is huge - great value!

Mediocre food for high price. You’re paying for the show of cooking in front of you, not the taste. Not owned by Japanese people which is a bit sus

Party of 11, everyone freezing cold. Most of us kept our coats on all night. Got our meat/fish way before the rice/veg so if was cold. Over priced for quality of what you get. The staff are really lovely and try to entertain but it was so cold most of us couldn’t wait to leave. Wouldn’t go again.

Excellent meal and experience for my girlfriends 20th birthday! We were disappointed and more than anything surprised to be the only customers but it did mean service was quick! Staff helpfully explained the menu to us but sadly they only had salmon sushi available, despite this being excellent it would have been great to sample more. The real highlight was the set menu cooked in front of us, got to try a bit of everything across many courses and it was all exquisite from the salad starter, the ribs to the chicken to finish. The experience and celebratory show they provided was top class and very interactive which is the main perk of choosing to dine here but the quality, freshness of food and the delightful nature of the chef should not be under appreciated

Very nice experience and good food

Honestly I thought our meal was better than the top restaurants in Hong Kong! Delicious, fresh food, and all the entertainment from our chef was simply amazing. My children loved it!! Thank you!!

Great food, chef really friendly

Great experience. Lovely food and staff. Chef was a good guy. Would recommend to anyone. This is the only teppanyaki place to go in Newcastle :)

Amazing chef service was second to none would definitely recommend can’t wait to come back 👍

Bad attitude and bad experience!!!!!!!!

Amazing set lunch menu! So enjoyed it.

This place is absolitley amazing food is out of this world flavoursome and fresh..the staff are fantastic I've been going here for over 16yrs and absolutley love this place there's no place like it in town at all ❤

I had a really good night here with my family for my mams birthday ,really friendly atmosphere Staff are very nice and chatty Food was also very tasty and plenty of it.

Great place for trying japanese food plenty of options

Great went for my sister 40th great buzz

My friend and I went for lunch today. The staff are lovely , very friendly , welcoming and polite. The food was amazing. The chef was friendly and entertaining. Show off was juggling 4 eggs and caught one in his hat. Excellent, WILL BE BACK !!!!

Absolutely disgusting. Very disappointed we went for our little cousin’s birthday and the chairs left black marks all over her brand new juicy pants then they tried to blame her for the mark even though she only had them on for a few hours for this place. Then they refused to pay for her pants but eventually they did however was absolutely disgusted that they tried to blame her on her birthday. However when we were complaining we could see the black stuff on the chairs that made the marks . Will NEVER be coming back.

The meal was amazing, utterly sublime. Service was great, down to earth and lovely. Our chef was really engaging and funny.... A master of his craft! Highly recommended! Shiny.

We always love this place it's our favourite! Food is absolutely beautiful service is brilliant, second to none for this first class service/atmosphere.

First impression.. shocking: my shoes were stuck to the floor while waiting to be seated. Food quality needs to be reviewed. Staff is very friendly. That's not Japanese. It's Chinese

Really nice experience. Lunch but also entertainment. Tasted great.

was one of the best meal experiences.. chef was super funny. meal was great! my son loved it. definitely go back again !

Fantastic restaurant. Great quality food and really engaging chefs.

Food was amazing and staff were helpful, friendly and entertaining. Only down side to the evening was caused by another customer pushing past our table rather than walking round. Definitely worth a visit

Had a lovely meal here after work. We were able to walk in without a reservation but did have to wait 40 minutes for one of the chef's to be available - I'd suggest booking ahead to avoid missing out. The experience was great, the chef made it very fun and enjoyable and the food was delicious. Some of it was a little overcooked but the flavours used were great. They have a lot of different options for the food and ask about allergies before hand. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. I would go again, probably booking ahead of time with a big enough group to fill a table (6-8 people). Ideal for a birthday or other celebration!

Lovely food, ideal for football/theatre/shopping/afternoon or evening in the Toon

Wonderful night! Food amazing, cooked fresh right in front of you by brilliant entertaining chef. Such good value for money too

Good place for Asian style Teppanyaki

Loved it was the best I have had for a long time very good value for the money

Superb food and service. Many thanks

Sehr lecker und super zubereitet. Da muss man unbedingt hingegen wenn man in Newcastle upon tyne ist.

Absolutely fantastic evening! The staff, the food, the experience were all amazing! Shout out to North Shields who looked after our drinks all night and our chef James Bond who was incredible! We can't wait to come back and have already been recommending to family and friends 🎉🔥

Very good meal, very good service and very good experience

very nice staff, food was delicious

Undeniably the finest Japanese cuisine you can enjoy in Newcastle-Upon Tyne with Hanahana coming in at a close second place. I wanted to eat here several times, trying different variations of their lunch and dinner sets, before offering a review as I was pleasantly surprised at how good both the food and the experience as a whole was after a single whimsical lunch there. I’m pleased to inform that Fujiyama simply does not miss. You’re going to see the freshest ingredients brought out in all their naked glory to be meticulously cooked by professional, trained chefs. You’re going to see eggs juggled, plumes of flames aloft and art made with rice whilst you eagerly await that sizzling cut of salmon to grace your plate. One might think that a buffet of delicious courses cooked by entertaining veteran chefs would be enough to take a hefty bite out of anyone’s wallet - but you would be wrong. I genuinely don’t know why they aren’t charging at least 1.5 times the price as the food and service is worth at least double in my humble opinion. Before I sign off, two last things to mention. 1. This would be a fantastic place to take someone on a first date. 2. Their salmon is godly. Try it.

Brilliant, chef was excellent and the food was delicious.

Really nice and special places where the whole family had a great time! Kids love the foods and the atmosphere there. Really fun!

Quite disappointing and shocking as the food was EXTREMELY oily…The fried rice was soaked with half bowl of oil which they called ‘teriyaki’ and we couldn’t eat any of that. Also, the seafood was cooked with too much oil and spices to the point that I can’t tell the original flavour. I was very excited to go there but left with disappointment.

Amazing food and staff. Totally faultless

Absolutely fantastic. Food was amazing and the service was even better. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It's a great experience for anyone thinking of going. We will definitely be going again soon.

Awesome experience. Pure theatre. Great food and a superb team.
