Fujiyama Japanese Restaurant

A very nice spot to get some sushi or other Japanese dishes. It's a very calm ambience and the food came out quickly.
Price point is fair for the quantity and quality.

I often get the tempura udon and the batter is always crispy and light while the udon broth has more of an anchovy flavor like you'd find in Korean kalguksu (I personally find it delicious). Friends who have ordered the katsu have enjoyed it consistently.
Sushi is very fresh and well balanced. I ordered salmon nigiri and some variety rolls that also had salmon--very clean flavor and not overbearing with rice.

It's a smaller space and very intimate, so just be aware when going in groups. Also be aware of the parking spaces right in front being limited, but there are plenty of spaces within the plaza.

Service was quick, polite and responsive. What more can you ask for?

5/5 will be eating here again ♡

Place was empty and not appealing. Gave it a try anyways. Sorry that I did...the sashimi was crunchy and the rolls were falling apart. It got us sick...burping yucky fish and had the hersey squirts! Both of us so definitely from eating there. 🤮

Love this place! Great selection, delicious food. We always do take-out so I can't speak to the experience inside the restaurant, but the ambiance is lovely and the staff always friendly.

I have eaten at many, many sushi restaurants over the years. Fujiyama is by far the best sushi I have ever eaten in my life without question. Fujiyama's sushi is simply magical.

We are regular customers at Fujiyama - because it's excellent! Not only is this the best Japanese restaurant in Northbrook, but the surrounding suburbs too. Fresh, tasty melt-in-your-mouth goodness.

What a sweet little sushi house!There are only 7 tables inside, so it feels very cozy and friendly. The sushi is fantastic, very fresh and flavorful. I'll definitely be back.
