They stick to the basics and do them well. The burgers alone make a visit worthwhile. DRINKS: Limited draft beer selection but they have had one or two unique brews on tap (Moose Drool on tap last time I visited-haven't seen that on tap anywhere in a long time!). Anything in a bottle or can will be domestic and in the Bud/Miller families. Full service bar and they poor em stiff! AMBIENCE: Cool feel to the place with lots of exposed brick and the bar itself being a very cool antique looking motif. They have an internet juke box that the patrons keep playing all night long. KID FRIENDLY: Yes. Seen lots and lots of kids eating here with their families but this becomes more of a bar as the night goes on, so beware. OVERALL: Great bar with above average food.

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.

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.
