    I love Fujiyama! I usually order sushi, but this time I went with the teriyaki chicken. It definitely did not disappoint! The portions were larger than expected, and you can't beat the lunch time prices. When we walked in, the restaurant was all but empty. I was a little disappointed in the slow service considering that there were so few patrons, but overall I had a great experience with delicious food!

    Nice to have a Japanese restaurant in town. No authentic dishes (eg. Chicken Katsu Don), but otherwise not bad.

    Ive been waiting for this place to open. Good food, great experience. The wait at the table was a little long, but that is to be expected. Will definitely come back. The cook was absolutely fabulous!!

    Sushi

    The sushi and gyoza are fantastic, I usually get the NY Giants Roll which is topped with spicy crab. Love it. I recommend ordering drinks by the pair because every time I've gone it has taken quite a long time to just get refills on my water.

    Went there to eat yesterday with my boyfriend.... Food was awesome and so was the waitress.... I would definitely recommend this place.... I had steak and scallops... It was so good... steak was tender... and you definitely get full.... I love this place.

    King dragon roll, Osaka roll and tuna tatiki

    Everything was wonderful, especially considering they just opened! The food was fresh, the service was great and the drinks tasted delicious! Suzanne had her first night as a dine in server and she was very pleasant and able to handle the dinner rush perfectly!

    Not very happy with the food or the service. Expensive for what you get. Not many people spoke English.

    My husband is a native to Effingham and this was our first time at Fujiyama Japanese steakhouse and…read moreit was a nice visit that will have me coming back. Of course, I always get skeptical of seafood being fresh in the middle of nowhere middle Illinois in the Midwest of the USA but this time we went for the hibachi experience so I gave the shrimp a try and my husband ate the chicken. He had a side of fried rice with egg and I opted for noodles with our vegetables. The complementary house salad and soup tonight was mushroom was OK but not as good as other hibachi style restaurants. Our hibachi chef was funny entertaining and was able to connect with each of the guests. He made jokes and put on a wonderful performance. I appreciated that not every seat was filled for hibachi and we were still able to enjoy dinner as a party of eight. Next time we visit, we will eat on the traditional restaurant side to test out the sushi and other menu offerings. The restaurant is fairly wheelchair accessible with everything being on one even level and there's plenty of accessible parking and close parking as Fujiyama is next to a few other stores sharing the parking lot.

    Today I parked my rig at the TA. Walked a few blocks to this restaurant, wasn't too difficult of a…read morehike. Having seen a billboard AD driving along the i70, I thought huh, hibachi down the road on exit 160, let's do this. Originally had other plans, like hitting up the NAF NAF for some Mediterranean food couple miles further. But haven't had any Bennihana style hibachi in ages, I did sort of crave the grilled veges, NY Steaks and hibachi butter fried rice. So got in here today, and it was pretty quiet. Wasn't even sure if there were any parties at the grill. Back in the days I use to work at a pretty high octane hibachi in the Permian Basin (ya, think Billy Bob Thornton in Landman on steroids). We'd have oil field crews pack our entire restaurant, and I'd be doing daily sales of 3,000.00 to 4,000.00 just under my own tab. Those were the days you can order a bowl of Udon noodles and it probably came out to 8.99--- good ole pre- inflation days. So onto the food here. Steak was over cooked, wanted medium rare, tasted well done. Chicken was decent, moist, not dried out. I've had hibachi chicken in certain restaurants where the meat was straight up dried. So good job. The fried rice was a 7/10. Not the best, but better than Panda Express. The grilled veges were alright, the teriyaki sauce was decent not too sweet. And overall the hibachi combo plate of NY Steak, Chicken w/ fried rice was overall a 7.5/10. I want to give a thumbs up to the restaurant for their portions. This being lunch hours, the lunch portion here can play out in many other places as dinner size. The Miso soup was your typical hot soup + instant dried seaweed + supermarket house brands tofu. Can't screw this dish up. And the salad was sugar overkill...along with the Yum Yum Sauce. What I wished they did with the Salad sauce. Okay, blend carrots, apples, increase ginger, couple slices of lemon, and cut down on the sugars. For the Yum Yum Sauce decrease the sugar, more garlic, and please add a tad bit more MSG for that flavor bomb. Now because I figured I might still be hungry, I ordered their 2 roll sushi lunch special-- the Bay bridge, and the Volcano. Sushi rolls were both pretty solid. The sushi chef here gets a 8/10 for his sushi rice making ability. I've seen complete failures at restaurants serving sushi where the rice isn't even cooked through. Worse I've had sushi rice that tasted like those Supermarket sushi franchises Snow Fox and Fuji Foods. Special mention: the wasabi is spicy. Very good. For a hibachi grill restaurant, this place is a solid 7/10. Is it worth walking over here if your semi truck is parked nearby? Yes. Is it worth a detour if you're on a road trip and don't want burgers and fries? Yes. Is it a nice setting to sit down and talk with your colleagues or watch their hibachi chefs perform? Sure. In the end, for price, portion, and just a no bs Japanese teppanyaki meal, I think Fujiyama can fill that void. Why the 3 Stars? because there's room to improve, food wise, like the fried rice: more white peppers, onions, garlic butter, soy sauce, scallions. To my Chinese passerbyers: 覺得路過的客人,可以過來關顧一下,整體食物質量管控還行,就是甜了一點;要是有哪位華人卡車師傅在附近停靠,過夜,我也還是會推薦過來這家日式鐵板試試,想當年羅蘭剛一家老字號的上林鐵板燒已經被蒙古餡餅給取代了,也就是抱有這種懷舊才使得我過來品一品這村莊的日式鐵板。

    We went at 7:30 pm. The hostess seemed annoyed that she would have to seat us at a hibachi table…read more They have regular seating as well. We started with non alcoholic drinks. The prices are decent for food compared to where we lived. Anywhere from 22-40 dollars depending on combo. We ordered appetizer and a sushi roll. They were not great. Soy sauce is supposedly homemade. It is disgusting. If you are expecting theatrics from the chef, this is not the hibachi place. He was funny but that was it. The steak was gross. The chicken was gross. The noodles were soaked in something before cooking. The fried rice was egg and teriyaki sauce. Plain and boring. I would not go back. Ick all around.

    It's seemingly a clean spot, I love the vibe of this place. Our server Aaron was kind and…read moreattentive, answered all our questions and gave good suggestions. He was a 10/10 server, so kudos When it comes to the food, it was alright. I didn't eat hibachi, only regular dining. We ordered a house salad, miso, crab rangoon, sushi and udon noodles. The appetizers were tasty, especially the salad. When it came to the mains, I ordered the Giant City Roll and honestly, I was a bit disappointed.. didn't want to be rude and have them take it back but the server offered and was understanding because he noticed I didn't touch it. My partner mentioned he was picking at his udon because it wasn't very good either but he made an effort to finish it anyways because he was hungry. Overall, it's okay. If you're not super into Japanese food you may overlook the lack of quality of the food prepared here and think its pretty decent.
