Amazing no frills sushi restaurant. Started off with the house salad with some of the best ginger dressing I've ever had an an order of veggie egg rolls. 6 mini rolls, very satisfying start. Followed up with 5 rolls which was more than enough for 2. The sushi is packed with fresh fish and light on rice which I prefer. The pieces are huge too! Our waitress was attentive and I think also cooking some of the food? Very minimalist atmosphere but I could see them cranking out the take out orders. Will return. read more

Fujiyama Japanese Restaurant - 2na to 2na, Nina, spicy tuna, butterfly, sunset - Japanese Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

This place has been around for quite a while and they're keeping up with their great food and the modern area. The service is pretty good and the food came out fast. The cuts for sashimi is very buttery and they gave us some good belly pieces. Their small business is amazing and the food just blows away. Can we give a big "woop woop! "To this restaurant for all their success and great food! Great job surprising me with your food, Fujiyama! Well done! (Written by my 11 year old) read more

Great fresh sushi service a little slow but the sushi was delicious and fresh. I live in Orland Park and I work in Northbrook worked late last night and I decided to stop by to eat some sushi and it was worth it.....asked for a Sapporo and she told me big or small and I told her big and she brought me small. lol hey sushi was delicious. read more

I don't often leave negative reviews, but I feel the need to here. The food was the most bland Japanese food I've ever had. I got the suki yaki. The beef was tough. The broth was no flavorful at all. It just was so disappointing. I also ordered the sweet potato tempura roll. The sweet potato wasn't cooked through; it was crunchy. My friend got the udon bowl. She said it was very bland. On top of all that, the prices were very high. I wouldn't have minded the price if the food was good, but it wasn't here. I'm sorry to say, but I would not recommend this place at all. read more

Had dinner here last week. Sushi was excellent and the overall atmosphere is clean and welcoming.

I was in the northbrook area and wanted sushi and saw they had this place tucked away in a plaza. Parking in the lot of course. The place inside is pretty small, but it wasn't busy on a Thursday night. Was seated right away. I got a bento box with chicken. It was honestly so good but I couldn't finish and had to take it to go. I think there was only 1-2 staff working so I know they were working hard filling up orders and answering the phone. No one really checked up on us but it was honestly fine. Food was delicious. If I'm craving next time I'm in the area, I'd probably go back! read more

Fujiyama Japanese Restaurant - a bento box of food - Japanese Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

Experience: With a party of two, we were able to be seated and served fairly quickly. This was a Thursday night. Unsure how it is during the weekend. Parking: Since it is part of a strip mall, parking is included. Depending when you go, spots may be limited right in front of the business. However, if you walk a bit, there is a bigger lot. Worth: If you are by the area and are in a mood for some Japanese food, this is the place to go. It seems pretty authentic and the staff spoke Japanese the whole time. In addition, you know this place is legit if Japanese families come and eat. read more

Fujiyama used to be my favorite sushi spot. It was my go to- and then they sold the business and everything went down hill. From Paul's famous spicy Mayo, to the quality of fish, it's simply not the same anymore. It's one thing when something looks nice, it's another when it has the taste to stand behind it. Please bring back the quality!! read more

Chicken teriyaki was very dry. Hard to to eat. Very disappointed, asked for extra sauce got a drop.

If there's a way to display NEGATIVE stars , then this place would deserve them. 1) Extremely dated decor. This outright states the business is barely hanging on since they can not keep their establishment from looking like it's a run-down place from the late 80's. 2) Bathrooms are gross. It's apparent that the husband and wife team are just financially struggling and hanging on to a business for all intent and purposes needs to simply close its doors. The place does not employ ANY help. Therefore, the owners have neglected critical aspects of the business, like cleanliness. 3) Floors are so gross that if you're wearing any footwear that has rubber bottoms (i.e. sneakers), you'll hear the sticky noise with every step as you walk along the floor. 4) The business is EXTREMELY OVER PRICED! The sushi portions are extremely small. I visited a great deal of sushi places around the North Shore, and this place had the skimpiest portions to price ratio I'd EVER seen. I had ordered the Tekka Don, and the tuna portions were a FRACTION of what you'd get at Blu Fin. If you've never tried Blu Fin, I'd highly recommend it. Yes, you'll be paying through the nose, but the portion sizes very much compensate for the price. In the case of THIS sushi place, that is NOT the case. You'll feel ripped off once you receive the bill. Just even observing the smaller size of the bowl that my Tekka Don was served in exemplified further how small the portion size was comparatively to other sushi establishments. 5) Furthermore, food is not as fresh as you'd expect from a sushi restaurant. The tuna and salmon both had a "fishy smell to them. The miso soup was barely warm. If you are searching for a decent sushi place, just drive past this location and hit up Blue Fin. read more

I normally don't review suburban restaurants, but I give credit where credit is due! Northbrook is very far from me, but I was at the Chicago Botanic Garden and we were looking for something good for lunch. Thank goodness for the yelp app! When we stepped inside the restaurant, I quickly noticed that this was an old school Japanese joint. Nice! I ordered the Makunouchi bento for lunch. It came with ginger salad, miso soup, tempura, 3 large pieces of california maki, chicken terriyaki, saba terriyaki and rice. The ginger dressing was light and citrusy, not mayo-based. Miso soup was good, but didn't come with any seaweed. The tempura was great! The batter was perfect and light, there was plenty of veggie variety and came with two shrimps. I usually don't like when I see shredded crab in california maki, mostly because it's often mixed with mayonnaise. Luckily, this cali roll had no mayo in the shredded crab. The terriyaki sauce was not thick and overly sweet, like most places. The chicken was smoky and comes chopped up. The mackerel was very good! It also tasted smoky and I think it was broiled. The mackerel was very fresh, tender and a bit oily, as it should be. This bento box was a great value for the quality and amount of food. I barely was able to make a dent in the chicken terriyaki. The sliced oranges at the end of the meal were a nice touch. I was very happy with this lunch choice. If I'm ever in this area again, I wouldn't think twice about coming back. Service was good, attentive and straight to the point. We didn't have any issues like others have mentioned about the service. But then again, I'm kind of used to old school restaurants in Chinatown and Korea town in Chicago where the waitstaff isn't always super duper friendly. I wish this place was closer to me! read more

Small Japanese restaurant in the burbs that treats the fish really well. Quick and easy to get your sushi craving fix. The owner is the hostess and waitress while one busboy (super fast) clears tables and refill drinks. Good miso soup (not salty like most places) and the house salad has a good ginger salad dressing (the typical salad you get at every Japanese restaurant). We got a couple of pieces and rolls (you pencil it in and check off from their paper menu). We got chef's choice and also chose a couple of pieces from the menu a la carte. When the food came out we were surprised to see all the a la carte pieces were on the chef's combination sushi plate as well. I just wish the waitress told us that those same pieces we chose would be on the combination plate. We would have ordered different pieces then. But the fish was well done and the rolls were good so we didn't complain. We just ate double of everything. They didn't have fresh uni that night so I couldn't try it but I really want to go back for some fresh uni dishes! Cute mom and pop Japanese restaurant- little gem in the burbs- read more

I have travelled far across the world in search of the finest cuisine, and as a side note, I have never allowed the cost of a meal deter me from experiencing it. Consider me the ultimate critic. Fujiyama is unequivocally the best sushi restaurant I have been to. If what you desire is a world-class sushi meal, look no further than Fujiyama. On the contrary, if you require ornate sauce patterns adorning you plate, cucumbers and radishes carved into roses, and crystal chandeliers hanging over your head at the expense of the food, don't go to Fujiyama. You don't deserve it! The abomination of Japanese food and culture alluded to in the preceding sentence is reserved exclusively for the pretentious, self-indulgent ignoramuses that don't have the aptitude to discern quality food from a well-orchestrated facade of utter garage, masked by tasteless and distracting confetti. Jason, the Head Chef, is a true master at the sushi bar. The way he slices, the way he chops, the way he pickles, and the poise he maintains are all indicators of years of dedication and toil; therein lies the identity of passion - something that the unimaginative and undeserving owners of a lot of sushi restaurants don't possess. As for the service... EXCELLENT! Chloe, my usual waitress, is simply exceptional. Her recommendations are stellar, she always wears a smile, and my glass of water is never empty. What's not to love? Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to what I would argue is the best sushi for the money in the world. Yes, I've been to Japan. What I have asserted herein is not hyperbole, believe me! Happy Dining! read more

Ordered 4 different nigiris - Tuna, Salmon, Scallops and Sweet Raw Shrimp. The pieces of fish are good size. I usually love Tuna but it did not seem fresh. The salmon was solid. The scallops were covered in a spicy mayo sauce which was good. The sweet raw shrimp were my favorite as they did seem fresh and the taste was delicious as you cannot really serve low quality sweet raw shrimp. The wasabi was not fresh and was the horseradish variety you see at most places so not docking a point for it but very impressed when there is fresh wasabi. I ordered Tuesday which is usually when most restaurants get in fresh shipments of fish but maybe was not the case on that day as I am seeing a lot of high reviews. read more

One of my favorite Japanese restaurants. I've been going here for years. Even though the management has changed through the years the food remains the same - fresh and delicious. The Maki and salmon is delicious. read more

Very high quality mom and pop sushi shop. The wife is friendly with those who are friendly, but she doesn't take crap from anyone. You have to remember the crowd they have to deal with up north here. Most folks either work in the city and know sushi or you have insulated high maintenance soccer moms/dads who would only eat a california roll. They have to deal with both types. So their fish is fresh but dont expect too many items outside the standard ingredients they have to stick with for the clientele. They try to be authentic while still catering to thier client base. Sushi places in the burbs are someone trapped by their clientele's tastes (for example see the one negative review where the high maintenance customer was pouting over being told the truth that this place gets PACKED and so they dont like over promising and underdelivering) So given the limitation of suburbanites who want immediate gratification and who dont realize REAL authentic japanese food is NOT covered in spicy sauce) this is as good as it can get out in the burbs. I eat sushi all over the world, the things I look for are: Rice - is the texture right? Is it too soft or mushy? can I taste each grain separately while it not being undercooked? Rice --Is the flavor of the rice right? Not overly sour, not sweet, but with a slight umami flavor and very slight acidity from the ingredients - sea weed, rice vinegar, sake, preferably no sugar but rather Mirin which is a sweetened rice wine for cooking. Is the fish cut correctly? I mean is it a hunk of fish? Ewwww! Is is cut too big for white Americans who love to shove huge pieces of fish in their mouths to know they got a value? NO THANKS! I would rather have two perfectly bite sized negeri for the same price as a large piece. I want to see the fish cover the rice but not hang over the edges of the rice like some weird tail. Is the snapper fresh? Notice this is LAST? because it better be a given!!! People can talk about the fish being fresh but have no clue how to judge this. Maguro, sake, and yellow tail are almost always fresh. Why cause thats what most folks eat when they dont know much about sushi. Ask for a piece of negeri snapper! If that piece is chewy and doesnt melt in your mouth like a piece of maguro than the guy doesnt know how to cut it and/or their fish is not that fresh. read more

Fujiyama Japanese Restaurant - Salmon belly - Japanese Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

I have been coming to Fujiyama at least 2x a week since my move to the general Chicago area, 3 years ago. Out of my appreciation for the wonderful owners, Paul and Irene, and the incredible quality of fish, customer service, and impeccable presentation that they have showed me since the first day I stepped through their doors, I thought it was due time that I wrote them a well deserved 5-Star review. When Fujiyama is not packed like a can of sardines, I like to sit up close and personal with Paul, the chef who's been running the one-man-show for the entire restaurant, spanning over the last 23 years. Paul's wife, Irene, takes care of all of the customers. She is quick, clean, has a great sense or humor and is impeccably sharp. Do not mess with this woman; she was a professional skater and is a skilled martial artist. If you're someone who enjoys flashy lights, attractive waitstaff and standard food that's dressed-up to look superior, go to bluFish. Fujiyama is a family-owned restaurant run by two hard-working individuals that stop at nothing to provide UNBELIEVABLE QUALITY. Furthermore, they are the only providers in the greater Chicago area that order wild-caught salmon from Iceland and Holland, so as not to sacrifice their dignity or quality. I guarantee you that anywhere else you go, you're eating farmed or frozen fish. DONE. To summarize, if you prioritize the quality of your food over all else, Fujiyama BEATS ANY SUSHI OPTION in the North Shore, by miles. read more

Fujiyama Japanese Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

Came here for an early child-free dinner on a Friday night and we were not disappointed. The space is nothing special, but the food was really good. We started with gyoza and miso soup. The miso was so flavorful!! Gyoza sauce was interesting - much more sesame than other places, but I liked it. I had sushi - 2 pieces of nigiri and 2 rolls. Everything was excellent. The fish was obviously very fresh but also was cut really well. They were very accommodating when I wanted to slightly modify my rolls from the menu. My husband had the chicken teriyaki. It was a reasonable portion size (not huge, but big enough) and he enjoyed it. So glad that we finally tried this place. I know where I'll be going next time I'm in the mood for sushi! Tip: the online menu does not contain their full sushi menu - stop in and grab the full menu. read more

Ok...first off...OMG! YUM!!! This family operated sushi restaurant is all about quality! The fish was fresh, and succulent! The presentation was excellent, and the portions were generous. I had the chefs appetizer assortment B off their menu. The weird thing was how great their miso soup is! This is usually a bland appetite kick starter. I don't know what Fujiyama does differently, but it was hands down the best miso I have had in 40 years of sushi gobbling! A terrific small local restaurant ! read more

Repost from IG @afoodiegoescleanish - I'm doing you guys a BIG favor by telling you about this spot. Located in a strip mall, Fujiyama is a hidden gem in Chicago's North Shore. Paul and Irene are a power couple that have carried this place for at least 20 years, and they accomodate everyone's tastes from suburban moms to adventurous eaters. From California rolls to authentic Japanese red snapper nigiri to uni, we love coming here when we're in the neighborhood for the fresh fish, tasty flavor combinations, and to support the local small businesses. The nigiri has a great fish-to-rice ratio with perfectly cut pieces atop the rice. If you're a small party of 1-3, I actually recommend sitting at the bar because it's always lovely to see a chef in action. read more

Fujiyama Japanese Restaurant - Toro, white tuna, spicy scallop, fujiyama roll - Japanese Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

The first time I walked in here, I was so turned off by the behavior of the older lady who approached me. She was unwelcoming and tried to rush me to place an order and I had never even looked at the menu before. A year later, I decided to try again. A different lady was so nice with helping me with my order. As far as the sushi: it's okay and overpriced. I eat Sushi multiple times a week and I wouldn't go back here. The rolls are expensive for what you get. Here is the picture of one roll just filled with tempura. read more

Fujiyama Japanese Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

High quality sushi in an unexpected location! Incredibly accommodating and friendly the moment we walk in. Probably the most attentive service I've had in a long time. My water was always refilled without me even paying attention to it, which was quite nice. This is a family owned establishment and you can tell by the welcoming vibes from the shop and the staff. I have to say, I wasn't expecting much from a mid-west suburb sushi joint. Like. At all. However, Fujiyama killed my prior notions with excellence. In terms of the sushi, the quality is comparable to many west coast establishments, which is amazing to me considering the location and other local competitors. Many props. The pricing is reasonably competitive and not crazy expensive at all (what I expect when I go to the city), which is a huge plus. REMEMBER, the QUALITY! The Tempura Bless their hearts. They know good tempura! Surprisingly difficult to find decent tempura in the area? I'm not sure why, but nevertheless I found my go-to place when I'm near. The batter used is on point and incredibly light and crispy. No greasiness as with typical fried foods, so you get a very brisk crunch with every bite. The Nigiri The rice was a very nice surprise. A lot of joints tend to overlook this component, but not Fujiyama (for that, I am VERY thankful). What it traditionally should be, sushi rice mixed with a perfect amount of rice vinegar/Mirin/etc and at the right texture, one thats not too mushy or hard. The cut of the fish? FANTASTIC. They really know what they're doing here in terms of fish and sushi. The slices aren't just hacked pieces of fish but obviously handled with care and precision. Portion wise, the fish-to-rice ratio is promising and generous. The slices of fish were nice and thick, just right with the amount of sushi rice given. Will definitely be coming back to try more menu items! Very promising! read more

Excellent sushi!!!! Enjoy eating outside as well when it is it too hot. Service is excellent!

The size of the rolls are small, the fish isn't particularly fresh, and the prices are thus too high for what you get. Not going back.

I had a great experience here. The service was quick & our sushi came out right away. My cousin recommended the place & it was my mom's first time trying sushi & she loved it! There is so much to choose from & the actual sushi we ordered was delicious! Nice option for sushi in Northbrook! read more

Fujiyama Japanese Restaurant - Sushi was good! - Japanese Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

Fujiyama deserves 5 stars for the sushi, because they are THAT delicious and incredibly fresh. I eat a lot of sushi and have been to many restaurants in the suburbs. I used to come here with my sister a long time ago and remember it was always good, but then we found Tatami (which has since gone down) and I stopped coming to Fujiyama. I decided to give it a try a few months back and came back again last week as I was craving it so bad. Out of all the sushi places in the 'burbs, Fujiyama has by far the freshest sushi ever. Their menu isn't too extensive, but that's how it should be in a real, authentic restaurant. The prices are fairly steep, but you pay for quality here. All the rolls I've had were delicious - Spicy tuna, ebiku, ebi tempura, Doba roll and Fujiyama roll. Last week, I ordered a roll that was pink around the fish, but I forgot the name - it was AMAZING! Service is pretty good, but last time, i had ordered 5 rolls and a few sushi pieces, but they never brought out the 5th roll because the busboy who wasn't supposed to serve us, took the sushi from the chef without checking. I didn't mention anything because we were full, but the check had the 5th roll on there, so of course, I asked to take it off. My other issue is that they don't really take carryout orders - i called once and they said they were too busy, which I find a tad ridiculous. When we were eating inside, a couple came in wanting to order for carryout, but they gave somewhat of an attitude at first, though they honored their request of two rolls. Take away the service issue, this is a 5 star restaurant in the suburbs and I highly recommend it to anyone who knows and loves their sushi. read more

The fish is fresh, and high quality, but that doesn't justify the rest of what I experienced. I dined here for dinner during one of the sweltering July days we've recently experienced. The room was tiny, and very cramped, with nowhere to stand without being in the way. We sat after about fifteen minutes, and got our order in immediately, since our server explained the chef was very backed up. Our sushi order, which consisted of one roll, twelve pieces of nigiri, and two hand rolls took just over an hour to arrive. The rice did not adhere well to the fish, which made for a sloppy dining experience. Everything was very tasty, but quite overpriced with little to no care for presentation. Beyond the price, and the room, and the wait, the main problem I had with my experience was when a women and her three kids walked in. The kids looked like they were about eight or nine years old, and the mother looked at her phone the entire time. These kids were so loud I couldn't hear my brother speaking across the table. They were jumping around, throwing stuff, and acting crazy. I guess I can't totally blame the mother, since she didn't see all of this; the mother walked out of the restaurant to talk on her phone and left the kids to terrorize the small dining room. Not once did the staff say a word to this woman or her kids, even though a few tables around them, including mine were noticeably bothered. If I could review the snotty, north shore mother I would give her 1 star, but since I can't the poor parenting skills will be reflected in the lack of control of the dining room by the staff. I got the impression that I was just dining at Fujiyama on an "off" night, but the total lack of control I witnessed in both the dining experience, and the rice doesn't deserve repeat visits. Sayonara! read more

I came here the other night because I was really really craving some sushi. I mean it was necessary. Everyone has those nights. The reason I chose this place is because I wanted something quick to carry out after work and it was on my way home. This was actually my first sushi place like 10 years ago, we used to go all the time when I was a little teenie bopper and we stopped going because the owner raised the prices and the service wasn't the best-never got a smile out of the owner if you know what I mean. However, since my carryout wasn't all about a dine in experience, I was really going to concentrate on the fish. I came in, placed my order, couldn't do it in advance because there is no menu online, kind of a bummer in my opinion. Get that menu up and running, but maybe they are just old school. My sushi rolls were ready in like 5 minutes since there was only one other table there who was ordering the chicken teriyaki thing. The prices are a little much, I mean for the burbs $6.95 for a simple spicy tuna and $6.95 for shrimp tempura is about a $1 more than most suburban places, but I have to say they were delicious. Very fresh, a lot more fish than rice ratio, which is very important to me. I gobbled all of it down and it was simply delicious. Not the best I've had, but one of the best in the north-shore burbs. Overall, I would have given them 3 stars, but the lady didn't charge me $1 for eel sauce like she technically was supposed to, but she felt like being generous so that ups them another star. I don't know if I'll go out of my way to come back here for dinner w/ the fam and friends but if I ever need a quick sushi run after work, I'll definitely carry out again. Some other rolls that looked awesome include: Doba (spicy tuna, green & orange roe, avocado, cucumber and crunch) $9.50, Sunset (fresh salmon, fried shrimp, unagi sauce, avocado, cucumber, green roe & spicy sauce) but that one is a whopping $18.00 so it better be to die 4. So overall, Fujiyami you offer some great quality sushi in Northbrook. read more

Fujiyama Japanese Restaurant - Ebi tempura and spicy salmon - Japanese Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

Not sure why one bad review esp. on service. Anyway, this restaurant is quite a gem. It is a family owned and operated by a husband, Paul, who is the head sushi chef and a wife, Irene, who takes care of the services in the front. They have been proudly serving high quality fresh sushi for so many years. Their tempura and teriyaki dishes are also head & shoulder above others. The service is outstanding, friendly and low-key. The restaurant is nice, clean with modest decoration and not pretentious. It is like having a meal at your friend's house. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant for your next sushi meal or cooked Japanese food like tempura, teriyaki, tonkatsu or udon. read more

Best sushi spot in the puget sound! Great ambience, immaculate service, the food will blow you away

This is the greatest sushi place in Northbrook if not the entire North Shore. You have to go here!!! the other sushi restaurants in NB/Glenview pale in comparison. BluFish- pretty good but no comparison Kamehachi - NASTY don't even know how this place still exists RA - great for happy hour cheap sushi and drinks but again not that great The fish is fresh and delicious I always get the double spicy roll and pieces of salmon. Irene is always waiting on people while her husband Paul makes the sushi. They have a great vibe but if you don't know them can be a bit cold, so be prepared for that. This is not the place for a fancy atmosphere - it's no frills sushi but some of the best I have ever had. Alcohol selection is very subpar but again this is a sushi focused place, you can get some wine and beer but thats about it. The sea urchin here is always beautiful and delicious as well. You HAVE to get the double spicy roll before you leave northbrook!! its essential read more

Zero stars. We're in town from California and we came here with our 6 month old son. About 10 people (dressed very nicely may I add) came in after us. We were told we were next multiple times. They were sneaking people in from the back to seat them before us. Then, finally when the next table is clear after an hour, they decide to seat the snobby family who came after us. My fiancée approached the same guy who said we were next and said that isn't right and he laughed. He knows what he just did to us multiple times is wrong. Shame on all of you. You should use the money that you're slipped to add an addition to your restaurant so your guests don't have to stand in the middle of the restaurant with a 6 month old baby for an hour. Have some humility. North shore politics. This is why we live in California. read more

Thus restaurant was one of the worst sushi restaurants I've experienced. The one star review is based on the poor quality of food, the lackluster menu, the atmosphere, and service. I was looking forward to enjoying a meal at a restaurant that came recommended -- alas it was a disappointing. The fish was not fresh, the sushi dishes were bland - nothing extraordinary, and not the place for a person that enjoys a good sushi place. The store-front look, the limited seating, and the weird odor makes this place uninteresting and adds to the low star review. The wait staff rushed us in ordering, barely refilled our water, and spilled our wine. When it hit the phone they refused to do anything about it. read more
