I've lived on the NorthShore my entire life, and have dinned in many restaurants, especially Japanese. Please don't be fooled by the possitive reviews about Fujiyama (a lot of times owners write them themselves)....the restaurant has only one good thing about it, the location. The food is average at best....but I would personally have no problem with the food if the service made up for it. Irene is one of the owners, and she works as a server, she is the most unpleasant and rude individual I have ever met in my life. She is plain nasty to her customers, and does not really care for return business. They DO NOT DO CARY-OUT!!! Please do yourself a favor and skip this little, not special at all, and overall unpleasant experience of dinning here. After my experience with the owner and the restaurant, I made sure to contact all my friends, family, and my client-base to warn them about this place.
Very unhappy.
Pros: Parking
Cons: Food and Service

for the person who criticized that it wasn't "japanese" enough....please....we're in AMERICA. and frankly. in japan....cooks touch their faces. are you serious? but far from japanese....well if you haven't noticed....90% of the japanese restaurants in America aren't going to "japanese." the fish is the freshest fish i've had the midwest. very innovative and the service is great. they remember what you want and your name. and service is fast.
Pros: food excellent. like family
