The setting alone of this restaurant is enough to surprise any regular to the Japanese cuisine scene. I was surprised not only to find authentic Japanese tatami matt rooms in which you can choose to seat your larger parties, or regular seating. In the regular seating area, there is even a small little koi pond! The food is fantastic and ranges from authentic Japanese food to what you’d expect to find in a Japanese/American restaurant. My goodness…the bento boxed meals…

Now, I haven’t experienced this first hand, but apparently there is a little bar down stairs that serves their renowned ‘mai tai’. My friend even says the drinks are so powerful that they have a 2 mai tai limit. So, check it out for yourself?

I try to visit this restaurant as often as possible. The atmosphere is great, the staff is amazing, and the food is out of this world. This is a great place for a night out with friends or family. I adore every appetizer I’ve tried- the Gyoza and Crab Rangoon are my favorite. The Teriyaki Steak is to die for! Of course, there is also the legendary Mai Tais, 2 is the limit and they are fantastic! I consider Mt Fuji to be one of the greatest hidden gems Omaha has to offer.
