![5]( "Recensione")
My fiancée and I visited the Fujimoto restaurant to celebrate our engagement in Kyoto on a Saturday night.
The atmosphere was great within the restaurant, the serving staff where really polite and took the time to talk to us and where honestly interested when we said we had just come back from Japan.
The food was really amazing and as they say in Osaka (I think) "めっちゃ美味しい" - Extremely delicious. The portion sizes where bigger than what we thought they where going to be and we ended up over ordering, but the food was so so good. I did ask for extra pickles to be added to the pork katsu curry and was told that wasn't a problem, the pork katsu and the curry was better than what I had previously in Tokyo. The prawn tempura/gyoza/yakitori and croquettes where all as delicious. Only thing that I would ask is if crab croquettes could be added on to the menu, but guess it isn't for simplicity. The serving staff did apologise to us about the wait for our food, which we was actually shocked about as the food came out quickly and at a decent rate, as in the food wasn't just thrown at us like some other restaurants do. Also there was Asahi Super Dry on tap, which went down a treat!
We really enjoyed our meal/time and we have found a new favourite restaurant. We are looking forward to our next visit, and have been raving about the food with our friends and family. The only real issue we had was that we wasn't sure if we should be ordering in English or Japanese? lol Attached picture is my tonkatsu curry.
I had such a lovely time eating at Fujimoto! The service and atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing :)
The food 100% complemented that fact. I had a lovely time overall and would 100% return in the future!
Had the pleasure of having a buffet Saturday night at the restaurant and Bentos boxes for lunch Sat and Sun.
Has to be some of the best food I have ever experienced.
Hygiene was perfect, the buffet dishes were not over filled and topped up regularly with Fresh.
I was made to feel very wanted and welcome in a warming environment.
Safe to say I will he returning and not by myself.
I ate in the Fujimoto for my birthday meal on Saturday 16th September with my girlfriend and her brother. The whole experience all round was great. The food was excellent, the cocktails were amazing. I had a piña colada for my final cocktail and it was very well presented and tasted unreal. Definitely going back there for food a cocktails in the very near future. Next week anyone? 😂
my favourite restaurant ever! my fav dishes have got to be the takoyaki or buta no kakuni although every dish is amazing. have been here so many times and has never failed to be amazing. staff are lovely, chefs are authentic and owner came and talked to me personally. everyone here is lovely and the food is the best authentic japanese food i’ve had cant stop coming back 😂
Fujimoto really have created something very special. The food was phenomenal and every dish was exactly what you want from a Japanese restaurant. The decor is very tastefully done. Lots of space between tables for privacy dining. the service is probably the best I've ever experienced. It was such a wonderful family meal I will absolutely become a regular customer. I spoke to the owner about bookings as it was difficult to book but they have not long opened and this will be sorted out soon. I will be telling all of my friends to eat here without disappointment. This will undoubtedly be a place where its difficult to get a reservation in the near future. thank you fujimoto.
Visited a couple of days after the reopening (8th Dec). Lovely welcoming place to have authentic Japanese food. We had the katsu chicken and dumplings for starter which were very tasty, good portions. For main we tried the one dish chicken teriyaki (which includes both salad and rice) and the original ramen. For dessert we had the warm brownie and lime + ginger cheesecake. Waiter and waitress were really friendly and helpful when asking about dishes. Saw they had a good selection of cocktails. Will definitely be back.
First time visiting Fujimoto and we were blown away! Celebrated my girlfriends birthday with authentic Japanese food which was absolutely cooked to perfection, the Buta-no-Shogoyaki was bursting with flavour and as a massive fan of gyoza I ended up taking an extra portion home! We were served by the owners son who provided exemplary service and was great to talk to, we will without doubt be coming back and spreading the word about Fujimoto!
An exquisite restaurant and the food is superb. A family run business where the son was a fantastic host. The hardest part was deciding what to actually order.
Plenty of choice and some great vegetarian options also. Choice of sake was great but if thats not your thing, theres plenty else to choose from.
Will definitely go again.
This place is great. A real gem in Leigh on Sea. We enjoyed some of the best food, of a standard you’d do well to find even in London. Thanks so much and we’ll be back!
