don’t know why some people gave this place a low rating (when we checked on google). my girlfriend and i got greeted very nicely and was immediately made aware that there was no rice available as their rice cooker had broke, and they offered various substitutions for this problem. there were only two servers and it was quite busy when we came in. the seating was comfortable and the atmosphere was very homely and relaxed. we didn’t have to wait long, 10 minutes at least which was plenty of time for us to get settled in and decide what to eat. i ordered the prawn katsu curry (forgetting that there was no rice available) and when i asked for it the server made me aware that there was no rice left, however, if i so wished, i could get the rice cooked with no promise that will be cooked thoroughly and that it might be a little/very crunchy. i happily accepted those terms as i am a fan of crunchy rice. my girlfriend ordered the tonkotsu ramen with pork. we got our food delivered within a reasonable amount of time and the portion sizes took us by complete surprise. they were a lot bigger than we expected, but they were perfect portions as after finishing i was neither too full to the point i was uncomfortable, nor was i still hungry for anything else. the prawn katsu curry was DELICIOUS!!! our server had warned us that the rice may not turn out good due to the rice cooker malfunctioning, however, the rice was perfect. my girlfriend adored the ramen as it was creamy and well prepared, it would melt in your mouth perfectly. unfortunately they didn’t have desert available, but that didn’t ruin the food that we had just eaten. once again the servers the extremely friendly and welcoming, giving us recommendations when we asked, apologising for any problems even though they didn’t have to, overall it was just amazing. highly recommend this place if you’re a fan of japanese food. will definitely be coming back here on my next trip to cardiff!

I've been to many Japanese restaurants and Japan it's self, And never has a bento box with a mini cupcake holder and like 5 pieces of sweetcorn been served to me by authentic Japanese restaurants? . Miso soup was amazing same with sushi but the bento box? absolute rip of And ramen tastes flavourless.

We arrived on a match day round 2pm so it was busy but when we ordered they had barely anything in that was on the menu. my sons benos box cam in a train which looked aged and dirty, i received my order og big prawn beno it was nice but the reason prawns arent big the are just covered with loads of batter!! My huband ordered a spicy chicken Ramen and 1 minute before it arrived a waitress came to chek whether it was pork or chicken!! when it did arrive there were 3 pieces of chicken in it and bitsof boiled pork at the bottom. Our sashimi we ordered was wrong and when it came back it was served on a hot plate and smelt awful it was sent straight back!!! overall a pretty rubbish experience. Overpriced for what t was I would avoid all costs as we are lucky we didn't get food poisoning!!

The staff are lovely but we had to flag the waitress down to order drinks then again to order the mains, a third time to ask why we hadn’t received our mains when tables that came after us who ordered the same food had theirs first. We also had a wrong dish arrive at our table. The food was nice but the experience left a sour taste so I’m not sure I’d visit again which is a shame as I’ve been previously and the service was a lot better before.

I came upon this little restaurant with its charming atmosphere. I loved the bullet train theme of the booths. The food reminded me of when I visited Japan. The takoyaki reminiscent of Osaka Street stalls. I also had the Teriyaki Donburi so sweet and delicious, just like I had in Tokyo. The food was promptly made and presented well. The staff were very accommodating, any extras i asked for i received. I had a lovely Asian waitress serve me with a smile. Will definitely be back and recommend to my friends! Was surprised to find there's only two restaurants one in Cardiff and one in Birmingham bull ring. It's a treat to find such small family owned franchises these days.

ordered bento box and pork raymen , bento box nothing close to anything i have eaten in a japanese restaurant before over cooked salmon rice nearly cold and the rest was made up of bits of salad some grapes and slices of ginger the raymen (pork) was fatty and tasteless my daughter could not even eat it this place is not cheap but it’s not just the food that is unpleasant the seats were broken and fixed with tape the only reason we went there was that we had lunch a year ago and it was really good sushi we found out that it has changed ownership don’t go here

Ordered a kids bento and it came in some dirty plane thing. Ramen had literally ONE SLICE of boiled pork in. No flavour to anything. Bento box had one compartment of rice, one of beef teriyaki then rotting salad in one and two grapes, half a cherry tomato and a weird cupcake liner with a spoon of sweetcorn and mayo in... Wtf. Where's the gyoza... Side dish... Actual item that should accompany a bento box. Expensive waste of money the whole thing.

We went here despite the reviews saying it was awful and a few saying it was OK, wish we listened to the ones saying it was awful. Worst Japanese food ever and more expensive than Wagamama?!? Half the menu was missing. Had to change to another dish after placing the order. Ramen was tasteless and the smallest bit of meat. Chicken was dry and wasn’t properly coated- WAY to expensive for nasty quality. Paid nearly £50 for the whole meal including overpriced drinks that were barely halfway up the cup. Would give it 0/5 stars if I could. DO NOT GO- NEEDS SHUTTING DOWN

I’m afraid to say I was disappointed with my food. I ordered the salmon nigiri and prawn gyoza to take away (which cost the best part of £10) for 2 small nigiri and gyoza. The gyoza was fried to a pulp and not steamed and had a very greasy after taste. Also the amount of plastic packaging given to me for 2 small bits of food really was not necessary. Disappointing as the menu looks really good. Won’t be returning.

Being part japanese myself and having a great inside into japanese culture and food, I was incredibly amazed by the amount of skill it went into my food. Gyoza was absolutely delicious, crispy and fresh. My squid sashimi was raw as it is meant to be served raw in japan and it takes great skill so that was perfect. Kudos to the chef and the staff were so polite, friendly and careful. Will be back soon. Amazing overall!

I was very excited for this visit due to my visit to Mount Fuji in Birmingham the day before. The Ramen I got in Birmingham was excellent! The chicken was tender and the broth amazing. But I wanted something different and ordered a chicken teriaky with noodles here in Cardiff.The chicken was sloppy and not crispy, also it was dry. The noodles were a bit tasteless, but ok, I guess. Also, the restaurant is by one of the entrances to the centre, so it is a bit drafty.If you got the oppurtinity, visit Mount Fuji in Birmingham, instead of this one.

We popped in on the off chance that we would get a table on a busy Saturday night. Thankfully they sat us down and were friendly. We ordered and the food came in a reasonable amount of time - not too quick or slow. The food was extremely tasty and the chicken was very moist. The only thing that was not great was how cold it was due to it being in the doorway of the shopping centre, but we were aware of this before we went in.

Very nice meals.Worth trying if you haven’t had Japanese Style food before.Can get cold in Winter as it’s right next to the very busy doors at St David’s Centre. Strangely on numerous occasions they seem to run out of rice to accompany their meals! They do nothing about this despite it frequently happening or about the lack of heating in winter.Shame as their food is very good and staff do try and are very pleasant.Used by a lot of Japanese which is a good sign.Witnessed many people walk away when told no rice available! Curry & Noodles doesn’t seem the same as Curry & Rice,plus of course their numerous rice dishes not available.

La comida era absolutamente deliciosa, tuve el Kyushu tonkotsu ramen y mi marido tenía el curry kara age. El sabor del ramen era fantástico, los fideos estaban perfectamente cocinados y estaba muy bien plateado. ¡También tienen una gran selección de ramune!Los servidores femeninos fueron geniales, sin embargo, el servidor masculino estaba haciendo comentarios racistas "en voz baja" (pero lo suficientemente fuerte como para que yo escuchara) sobre algunos de los otros clientes y otros comentarios casi todo el tiempo, lo que lo convirtió en un gran Experiencia incómoda.

Tal vez tuve un mal día, pero la experiencia que tuve no fue fantástica. El servicio fue lento, la camarera nos confundió y la comida estaba por debajo. He comido mucha comida japonesa, así que fue bastante decepcionante. En primer lugar, el karaage estaba demasiado cocido, por lo que los trozos de la corteza exterior eran negros y desagradables. En segundo lugar, la forma habitual de freír la carne es dragar pequeños trozos de carne de pollo y luego freír para obtener un bocado de pollo delicioso y jugoso cubierto con empanizado / masa salada. En cambio, este restaurante optó por freír filetes enteros de pechuga de pollo y luego cortarlos en porciones. Cuando haces esto, i) haces que la carne se deshidrate para que los jugos la dejen a medida que la carne está expuesta y ii) creas trozos desiguales que no crean una buena sensación en la boca. También pedí el curry de katsu de cerdo que estaba tan concentrado y salado presumiblemente porque simplemente dejaron toda la olla de curry para guisar sin ajustar los niveles de líquido. Aunque el restaurante ocupa una pequeña porción del espacio del centro comercial, ¡definitivamente hay mucho margen de mejora!

I'm really, really disappointed because I brought two friends with me who hadn't been before and I've been raving about the place for a couple of years.

Mount Fuji restaurant is situated in the St David’s 2 shopping centre in Cardiff. I have eaten there a few times and always chose the same dish Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box with Tempura vegetables- the food is delicious, the staff are very friendly although the service can be slow. However, the reason for the lower rating is the restaurant is open to the shopping centre and situated right next to the main and it’s very cold - I always keep my coat on! If only they would invest in heating it, it would get top marks from me.

We fancied an Asian noodle soup and some prawn tempura, so we popped into this restaurant. The restaurant was busy, but there were a few booths available which were comfortable. We had a few portions of prawn tempura, which came piping hot and freshly cooked, they tasted delicious with the dipping sauce. We then had one udon tempura soup and one vege ramen with fried prawn and tofu. Both soups were excellent, hot, tasty and fresh. We enjoyed our lunch, service was prompt and helpful, would eat there again.

Birthday lunch and rather unplanned but keen as the food was advertised as Japanese. Also came here today because there we’re free seats as we struggled to find a restaurant without a crazy queue (as a result of the rugby came). We chased a server to order and our meals came at different times despite both being bento boxes- my partners came fifteen minutes later! The prawn bento box was by no means an authentic Japanese bento- it came with two over fried dinky prawns, cold corn, grapes , okra, and cabbage without dressing. The gyoza also weren’t vegetarian as requested but we couldn’t be asked to wait any longer. There was also no miso soup to accompany the bento- Very disappointing! When asked how the meal was I told the truth and he just seemingly shrugged and walked away. Do not come here!

Great place to grab a meal with authentic Japanese cuisine. Great sushi and curries and staff are always helpful.

My Wife & I caught the train from Gloucester to Cardiff. After walking down the high street to Cardiff Castle we caught the open top sightseeing bus for a 50 minute tour (wrap up warm if you are on the top deck, it gets rather chilly). We had intentions of getting of at No 6 stop on the route to have a look at all the restaurants, but sadly missed the stop so ended up back at the Castle. A detailed map & individual headphones were supplied in the price of the tour.

A small restaurant that is bullet train themed, at the heart of the St David’s food court.The service was excellent from the waiting staff but the manager did not want us to choose where we wanted to sit. That changed when it was clear we would leave. The table by he door is drafty.A great selection of Japanese food but definitely food court rather than restaurant standard. The food was hot, well prepared and came in ample portions. The Bento Boxes went down well with our group as did the curry. A reasonable place to eat but not the venue for a Japanese dining experience.

We have been to Mount Fuji every time we visit Cardiff and they have yet to be anything but amazing. We were celebrating a friends birthday and this was the first place everyone suggested. It was a Saturday and so rather busy but they were able to seat us fairly quickly.The choya plum wine was a lovely little treat, with even our normally tee total member enjoying it. The bento box was amazing, a selection of little treats. I had a bowl of Ramen and it was wonderful, with chicken and gyoza all mixed in with the noodles. Dessert they really kicked it up a notch, we tried a mix of the choices, including Mochi and Dorayki (a type of pancake.) By far the most amazing thing was the black sesame ice cream. It was nutty and sweet and I could have eaten bowls and bowls of it. Its a fairly unusual choice but please give it a try, you will not regret it.

Visited this restaurant over the weekend with my son and loved it! Friendly staff and amazing food makes for a great combination. I had a spicy chicken soup noodles dish (can't remember the name) and it was fantastic! Since my son is now a student at the University, I'll definitely be coming back!

My wife and I visited this restaurant on August 12th 2017. It was our first time to try japanese food, and we're glad we did.The staff were brilliant, the young waitress took time to explain all the dishes we asked about without getting impatient.We ordered the curry and, chicken and giant prawns.The both dishes were outstanding (especially the curry). All in all a really good decision to visit, we'll visit again soon.

Not sure why this restaurant has bad reviews, been twice already and definitly will return. Went originally as I was craving ramen and wanted something on the authentic side, and the food here did not dissapoint. The ramen I chose was the 'Tokyo' Ramen If i remember correct and it was perfect. The noodles were very light, and the broth was also high on flavour. The ramen also came with gyoza aswell which was a welcome addition. The design of the restaurant was interesting aswell, and the chilled green tea went down amazing on what was a very hot day. All in all I definitly reccomend, it beats other more westernized 'japanese' restaurants hands down. If your a fan of ramen and japanese food in general I would definitly reccomend giving it a go!

Arrived at Cardiff just before dinner time and was feeling peckish for some Japanese food. I was recommended by a friend to visit here since he had this when he was visiting and gave it a thumbs up. Did a google search to find some mixed reviews but that didn't stop us. I ordered a sushi roll and beef bento , while my friend ordered an eel bento. The orders came in about 20 minutes and we were starving! I was very looking forward to this meal but I've never had Japanese food this bad! I can only assume that this restaurant isn't made by authentic Japanese people because I've been to Japan and all the food is to die for! Japanese food is usually very light and healthy but not here! My friends bento and mine were literally dripping with oil and I know the Japanese are very light with their oil. Then, the sushi roll, oh the sushi roll was a disgrace to sushi! Looks like a bunch of random veg thrown together and put on a piece of soggy seaweed! I couldn't finish the seaweed as it was tough to even chew since it must had gotten wet. I'm guessing out dated seaweed wraps? Then, we proceeded to dessert with a green tea cake which looked shop bought as I've seen similar ones in Chinese supermarkets. I ain't dumb. It was dry and tasted just like the one I have at home.I came to a Japanese restaurant to enjoy a clean and healthy meal, if I knew I was going to be served oil dripping food, I might as well have headed to KFC! If you're going to price your food at these rates, at least have some quality control! I hope my review makes you reconsider how you run your so called "Japanese" restaurant and instead of being defensive about people's criticisms of your restaurant , change your practices otherwise you'll go out of business! No wonder your restaurant is so quiet!

Tried to get in this restaurant at 8.40 and was told they were closed. According to this and St. Davids own website they are meant to close at 10 p.m. When I called tonight they said they stop serving at 8.30 p.m. I wish they would have a proper closing time, not when they choose because if like me you expect a service to be as said you will feel the same.

We were so happy to have finally visited here. We first heard of the restaurant because of Uncle Roger and have been ordering the meal kits as a result. The food in the restaurant didn't disappoint. The meals arrived pretty quickly and were delicious. Can't wait to go back again when we're next in Cardiff.

Yesterday 8.09.2024 I’ve ordered UBER EATS delivery for salmon Maki and Pad Thai from this sushi restaurant which turn out for me as food poisoning. I have severe pain in my stomach and diarrhea. I have been vomiting all night every one hour until 9 AM. Oh day I’m laying in the bed with a strong pain in the stomach and diarrhea going on. I’m going to GP tomorrow as I feel like I have a wound instead of my stomach now and I’ll claim the accident to the certain authorities with a complaint to this place. Previously. I’ve been ordering food from this place but this time I’ve got poisoned with them.

Highly recommended :) Delicious Japanese food and drinks, friendly service, affordable prices, clean and cosy setting. Good range of fresh seafood and vegetarian/vegan options. Only wish they’d include a few veggies in their rice boxes too. Booking in advance is advised as it’s a small restaurant - easy to do via WhatsApp.

Been here twice in the last fortnight, fantastic menu, fantastic food, great atmosphere. Very reasonably priced and the quality is excellent. If I had to find fault I would say that the CS Ramen was a little bland but the array of condiments sorted that out. Highly recommended
