Eh the food is fine, the room is cozy. They brought the wrong set but it’s okay. The food is a bit overpriced for me since most of them are just average. However the waiter was nice so yea.
So I went home and one of the waiter of the restaurant texted me for 5 stars review on Google. Personally, I think people deserve to know the truth, the food is not that good compared to the price. You can have better experience with the same price at Hokkaido in Saigon. And I have read all the bad reviews on Google and the restaurant’s replies. It seems like the restaurant always said that they would take the matter seriously but then nothing changed, such as young waiters and chefs who need to be trained, food quality,…
Therefore, I hope that the restaurant owner can actually start making changes instead of remaining everything like this and asking customers for 5 stars review. :v

Sea Grapes Salad
This is a restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere. We enjoyed the cozy comfort of the second floor VIP room. But these 5 star food reviewers must be crazy! I would give the food 1/2 star if possible. We ordered 6 dishes; miso soup, seaweed salad, tempura, eel maki, tonkatsu ramen, tonkatso don (miso soup included). Firstly, the order in which the food arrived was madness. Maki roll, seaweed salad, 1 miso soup, tonkatsu don (with miso soup #2), tonkatsu ramen, tempura. It wouldn't have been so bad if the food came out rapid fire but the lag between dishes was on average 15 minutes.
Secondly, let's talk about the food. Miso soup had no dashi base just sad yellow miso all alone in the bowl. Some nice, soft tofu floated in the soup but the wakame never made it to the party. Instead we were treated to match stick cut enoki that did nothing to balance the flavors. Tempura was greasy and soggy. The harder vegetables not blanched first, think woody sweet potato here. The dipping sauce was a strange grey color, the surface smeared with grease. The seaweed salad was acceptable although the yuzu was so weak as to be over powered by the sesame oil. Eel maki was well made except for the eel itself, it was cut too thick (a theme on the evening) and the sauce was too thin. Tonkatsu don; another greasy mess, bizarrely topped with a scrambled egg, thick cut onion, mushroom "sauce". I was expecting, you know, tonkatsu sauce (bulldog brand is best) and shredded cabbage. 2nd miso soup on the side. Why not serve the party of two BOTH miso soup at the same time? On to the ramen. A very thin bone broth obviously spiked with miso to cover it's failing as a broth. The thick, thick cut pork was just boiled rather than stewed in a nice broth before entry to the main soup. The eggs looked acceptable and we're just the right doneness but the broth was not hot enough to bring the egg to the temperature of the rest of the dish. Cold egg? No thanks. The bok choi was perfect though! And the noodles were obviously dried.
Please note that I reviewed the food in the order in which it should have arrived. Lastly, upon descending from the second floor I observed one of the sushi chefs squatting behind the counter munching a bánh mì. That says it all right there. The staff was friendly and courteous. Our server was knowledgeable of the menu and listened attentively to our concerns. Everything was extremely over priced. At this restaurant it seems like the children are in charge as I saw no staff over 30 years old. Dear owners, please take a visit to Japan to understand what the spirit and taste of the food is all about.

Salmon sashimi was fresh and nice. But some of their sushi dishes were average. And generally too expensive. While they have very courteous staff, my impression is they kinda overdo or oversell the idea of requesting for 5 star ratings (first, for a Google review to get complimentary dessert, and next a survey to fill up at their counter after paying bill and done in front of them so one can imagine the typical feedback authenticity...). Plenty of seating available.
Can visit if craving for sashimi and no price considerations

This was a surprisingly excellent meal on our last day in Da Lat. The food is very fresh and delicious. The pictures on the iPad menu do not do the dishes justice, because when they arrive they are huge and presented with artistic flair. I had the Seagrapes salad. It was refreshing and the little juicy beads exploded in my mouth like caviar. The Agedashi tofu was tasty in a wonderful dashi broth. I followed this up with raw oysters from Hiroshima. I was just in Japan two weeks ago and these were just as good if not better. These were very clean, full of flavor and topped off with a quail egg and two types of caviar and more seagrapes. The oysters arrived on ice, on one of the most beautiful platter presentations I have ever seen. My next course was a salmon gunkan three piece set. All three types of sushi were unique, including one where three types of caviar were wrapped in salmon sashimi. The presentation of this dish was just as remarkable as the oyster course.
My partner opted for the Bento box option. It came with both miso soup and Chawanmushi (better than those we tried in Japan), eight pieces of gorgeous sashimi and sushi, chicken teriyaki, grilled mackerel, and kimchi.
The restaurant is beautifully designed in Japanese style. The staff is very friendly, and some spoke English. Kane, the manager, was very helpful as well. We will definitely come back here when back in town.

Sea Grapes Salad
Sushi bars always lure me in, even if I'm in Vietnam and absolutely loving the phenomenal local cuisine. Today I wanted sushi and decided to give Fujiya a chance. I have to say I was entirely blown away by how authentic this meal turned out to be. In fact, several of the dishes were prepared better than those I've sampled in Japan.
We started with chawanmushi and it was divine; slivers of enoki mushrooms nestled over the delicate egg custard, which was cooked to a perfect texture.
I opted for a bento box to get some variety and what followed was shockingly delicious. A sampling of sushi and sashimi came first; generous slabs of fresh fish including salmon, tuna, mackerel and octopus.
Then came chicken teriyaki, which was tender and juicy, and without the sticky, overly sweet sauce that usually is served. The meat had clearly been marinated and was rich with flavor, so no need for sugary sauce.
Then came a filet of seasoned mackerel, grilled by a chef who has some real skills.
The meal also included some sides that I'm especially picky about; miso soup and kimchi. The soup was among the best I've ever had, served hot in a covered bowl, with some enoki, seaweed and soft tofu. The kimchi was crunchy and bright, with just the right level of heat. Truly a perfect lunch, and priced at 250K. Wow.
But the most impressive dishes were actually served to my partner and deserve special mention. We love oysters, and decided to try what Fujiya had on the menu. The platter that arrived was probably the most beautiful dish I've ever seen. Two giant oysters sat snugly on crushed ice, topped with a raw quail egg yolk, various caviar and a sprig of sea grapes. Colorful flowers and garnishes were artistically placed, and we both grabbed our phones to take pictures. The oysters turned out to be directly imported from Hiroshima, a city known to have some of the best oysters in Japan, and these were a revelation of texture and flavor and we immediately ordered two more. Honestly I can't think of an oyster I loved more than this one.
She also ordered a salmon gunkan trio and again, the presentation left me in awe. A beautiful piece of salmon was wrapped around the rice instead of seaweed, and ikura plus other caviar were featured in the center. Amazingly creative.
Service was friendly and well-paced, and we were hardly rushed. The seating was in a private wooden enclosure like you would find in Japan and was quite comfortable, the perfect spot to celebrate our last day in Vietnam. The whole three-story restaurant is quite beautiful, well-designed and exceptionally clean. Kane, a manager, politely helped serve our dishes and added a personal touch to what was really one of the more elegant meals we've had anywhere. I remain grateful to everyone at Fujiya for their dedication to the craft.

Great promotion and good food. The toro were the highlight of the meal. It was so yummy that we ate it so quick we didn’t get to take a picture of it. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was nice, though the table next to us was overly loud but I guess that’s expected pretty much everywhere you go here. Everything was clean and up to bar. Would come back since the wife loves sashimi.
