Fujiyama Japanese - Northbrook

Our first visit. jose was our cook and was absolutely phenomenal. highly recommended.

This is my first time here, and I am very impressed! I had chicken and sweet fried rice, and it was amazing! it's probably the best I had in one!

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!

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.

Used to be a hidden gem we would frequent. Changed ownership and the quality of the sushi went way down. So disappointed.
