Certainly the best Japanese restaurant in Lahore! The most pricey, it comes to about Rs. 2,000-2,500 per head. Their appetizers, main courses and desserts – All stand out in taste and quality.

The place is elaborately and tastefully set. The service is very good; Courteous, cooperative staff. Forget the price – The experience will be worth it! (Review by Behzad Taimur via Google reviews)

Fujiyama is at a 5-star hotel, so understandably it’s a bit on the high end. But it’s also worth it if you’re seeking an authentic japanese experience. In terms of seclusion, at least compared to the commercial restaurant, Fujiyama may be the answer.

The experience of having your meat grilled in front of you on a hot metal griddle is also fairly tantalizing, so if you want to have a fun, communal date night with lots fire and Beef or Fish Teppanyaki, take bae to Fujiyama! (Review by Muhammad Usman via Google reviews)

One of the best dining experiences in Lahore, and I know when I say it. The decor, the lighting, placement of tables and tea bar is just perfect.

The food tastes great. They’re among those few restaurants that do know who to actually make a steak. And they’d literals guide after asking your preferences.

The staff is really courteous and helpful. We went there for a birthday and brought our own custom cake. They kept it in refrigerator for us and even served later after our main course with a candle, and proper utensils.

They’ve a table fixed for birthday celebrations that has a wall for decoration. However, you can celebrate anywhere you want.
I prefer the open seating on terrace opposite the Rice bowl. It has perfect view and freshness of open air (though air quality of Lahore doesn’t qualify for fresh lol ).

It’s totally RECOMMENDED. (Review by Dr. Muhammad Hassan Amjad via Google reviews)

The ambiance is great and cheese cake was really nice. Will highly recommend visiting it at-least once if you are in Lahore. I found the staff to be really courteous. A bit expensive but totally worth it. (Review by Shoaib Shaheen via Google reviews)
