Fujiyama Japanese Restaurant in Nortdbrook

I had the extreme pleasure of stopping in here while I was in the area on business and wow, all of the reviews are spot on. The place has an awesome mom and pop vibe because Paul and Irene are the real deal. I'm glad I happened to sit at the sushi bar so I had the opportunity to get to know these two great people. I should also mention that the sushi was fantastic. The ichiban roll lives up to its name as the best one and the salmon nigiri was sublime. On par with what I remember having when visiting Japan. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed their food. I always get fantastic customer service here. The place is clean and the employees are always helpful. I highly recommend this place.

A warm family oriented place, with great respect given to all customers. And the Italian chairs are exceedingly comfortable too. Great sushi.

Absolutely amazing! The staff was super nice. Service was quick.. Would break down again for this food.

The best sushi in the suburbs. Great maki and great daily variety of freshly flown in fish. Love it!!!!

Really nice place. Great service.

Large portions, phenomenal service, food quality was great for the price. Will definitely be back!

Great place ! What a hidden gem of this neighborhood. Amazing food and superb customer service.

The food is good, but not worth the money they charge. They don't seem to have lunch specials, just a different menu. If you won't get there before 12 you're going to wait a little too long to have lunch on your break. It's not bad but I wouldn't go back.

Had a fantastic experience in this spot with my girlfriend. The food comes quick and the service is just great. Prices are fair

This spot knows how to satisfy their clients. Consistently with a welcoming approach. The food is fairly priced, regularly flavorful and neat.

Not bad. Good fish and eel.

Great food, this would’ve been a 5 star review... if their service were anything good. Had the food been bad, zero star. Without hesitation. Server was rude and rushed my group to eat, pay, and leave. Our group was not near finished eating, and we were in no way loud or distracting. Came here happy and hungry, but I left disappointed and full.

Overall, this is the best sushi I have had in the Chicago area. The fish is fresh, and the pieces are a generous size. Very good variety in the menu, and a lot of creative rolls.

Good place to come with a family,have been enjoying Japanese shushi every time I come to this place and their service is fast and friendly

Nice and quiet sushi restaurant. Prices are between $6-15 for a sushi roll. The rich and famous is delicious.

We have been to many different Sushi restaurants and nothing can compare to Fujiyama. The atmosphere and the dedication of the owners, Irene and Paul, is something you just don't see very often in this day and age. Above all, the Sushi is second to none...if you are looking for the best sushi in town, Fujiyama is the place to go!

We ordered four different rolls, and none disappointed! The prices were reasonable, service was incredible (fast and friendly), and the atmosphere was both cozy and quiet.

I've been to a lot of sushi places in our area, this place is small. Very good though, since they are small you can really tell that they pay attention to their craft. Each bite was an experience, you really get what you pay for in terms of freshness, service and taste

Good homely place. Excellent sushi, sashimi and sake.

Excellent quality fish, delicious rolls and generous portions. This is a hole in the wall find in the suburbs and highly recommended.

Great service. Great price for fresh fish, sushi. Nice and quiet little place. Will recommend this place.

A top class restaurant. Everything is made with such perfection that you don’t want to ruin the plate. Very affordable prices!!!

It's become a ritual for my family to visit Fujiyama every few months. We travel all the way from Naperville to taste Chef Shim's delicacy, and it's time and money well spent! Ingredients can be customized upon request and food quality and freshness far exceeds one's expectations. These bite size gorgeous looking rolls just melt and disappears on my tongue! If you want to dine out for any occasions, this is "the" place! I'd rate Fujiyama 5 stars plus!!! Thanks!

Great lunch spot.

A very special place with truely outstanding sushi. We come once a week and are always delighted with the food and atmosphere.A hidden gem.

Food was good, service was good. The rolls could be tighter.

good roll.

Tried this place already with a friend and I am addicted since then. I like the awesome vibes and fresh food and drinks. 5 stars from me.

The place is small and cozy and the service is good. However the menu is quite simplistic and short. Sushi is nothing special. I would even dare to say mediocre.

Amazing and authentic Japanese restaurant. The owner and the chef carries only top quality fish and Sake. Excellent service with reasonable price! Must come and eat here!!!

Best Japanese place we have found here in almost 4 years of looking. Very small and cozy, great service.

Had a fantastic experience in this spot with my girlfriend. The food comes quick and the service is just great. Prices are fair.

Never before have I felt quite so at-home at a restaurant. The owners are the nicest restauranteurs I've ever met, and will not hesitate to talk to you about your day, job, and life. Aside from this, the sushi is absurdly spectacular, and is crafted artfully. I hope my work travels bring me back to the neighborhood soon.

Great food. Reasonable prices. Quick service.

Favorite sushi place in the area

Nice food and nice people

A top notch restaurant. The whole place was very clean and well maintained. High food quality!

This is a great little spot for quality sushi. Good service, great cuts, reasonable pricing.

Small place good variety services very good excellent place to go dinner for two about $67

I absolutely like the dishes and service, fantastic location next to where I live. The workers are always very nice. Will visit here again.

Great tempura shrimp & vegetables. Price is fair. Good location.

Best place for fresh sushi! You can't beat the quality anywhere else in the northern burbs. Paul and Irene have been running this place for years and know what they're doing. Definitely worth the wait.

Unusually attentive servers. To the point where too much hovering over you and you can't enjoy your dinner. Sushi was good. The chicken teriyaki was excellent. Overall, ok. Was expecting more.very nice people though.

Very nice place with great service and food.

Good good recommend. ..

Excellent rolls, and very disturbing artwork on the wall.
