After dining at Nomu Ramen and Izakaya in Glenview numerous times, we've found that this Japanese…read morerestaurant consistently serves well-prepared and flavorful meals. It has become our go-to spot when we want a simple, relaxing meal featuring comfort food, or just a nice bowl of ramen. Our favorite dishes include: Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen ($15.99) -- This comes with three rectangular slices of chashu that are nicely lean, with just enough fat to add flavor. The half-boiled egg was cooked to perfection, the noodles had an ideal texture, and the broth was rich and flavorful. The portion was just right for me. Unagidon ($20.99) -- Fluffy sushi rice topped with fillets of eel glazed in a sweet soy-based sauce, served with miso soup. The bowl is full of flavor and very satisfying. The portion is perfect for me as well. Fried Mini Octopus ($10.99) -- We love the crispy, delicious mini octopus. It's a great appetizer to share. On our most recent visit, my husband ordered the Nabeyaki Udon ($17.99), which was topped with shrimp tempura, fish cake, tempura flakes, half an egg, and scallions. The bowl was tasty, but when comparing it with a similar dish at another Japanese restaurant in Northbrook at the same price, we found the portion at Nomu a little less generous. The other restaurant included an additional tempura shrimp and many chicken pieces, while Nomu's version did not include chicken. Because of that, my husband will probably stick with their ramen rather than order the Nabeyaki Udon again. All in all, we really enjoy our meals at Nomu Ramen and Izakaya. With friendly and attentive service, clean and comfortable seating, and a convenient location close to home, we'll definitely keep coming back! 4.5 rounded up to 5 stars.

The dining room is really pretty, and well-appointed! We were seated right away by friendly staff. Looking around, this appeared to be a very family-friendly establishment, as that was, by far, the most prominent type of connoisseur in the house on this evening! Our waitress was wonderful, and helped us with some recommendations upon us letting her know it was our first visit! She checked in with us frequently, and made sure drinks were always refilled promptly! We had a bunch of different items, and all were very good! We tried sushi rolls, beef noodles, and ramen. I'd have to say that the beef noodles probably were the best item for me! Prices were just about as you'd expect: not too high, but not super cheap either...but wholly justified by the great food and lovely service and experience!

We have driven past Fujiyama Japanese Restaurant thousands of times, and my husband and I finally…read moredecided to give it a try on a recent Saturday evening. This cute and cozy restaurant is tucked into a corner of the White Plains strip mall in Northbrook. Since its immediate neighbor, Grill House, is so prominent, Fujiyama is easy to miss. The restaurant was not busy that Saturday evening. Our server, Sally, was friendly and attentive, and she was the only waitress working in this small restaurant. My husband and I each ordered a hot green tea ($2.95 per cup). Sally made sure our tea cups stayed filled throughout the evening. We shared an order of gyoza (5 pieces for $5.50), Japanese-style pan-fried dumplings. They were fine, but nothing outstanding. I ordered a Dragon Roll ($18), which was prepared differently from the version I usually enjoy. This one featured cooked eel on top of a California Roll. Although it was good, I would have preferred avocado on top, drizzled with more eel sauce. Considering that their California Roll costs only $7.50, I wasn't sure the Dragon Roll offered the best value for the price. I also ordered a piece of unagi nigiri ($3.50), and the eel was nicely prepared and delicious. My husband ordered Bento Box A ($22.95), which came with chicken teriyaki, sashimi, tempura, and soba teriyaki. The presentation was lovely, and everything looked fresh. My husband enjoyed his meal. We also thought it was a good value, especially since we rarely see a bento box that includes sashimi. In fact, this was the first one we'd seen. Overall, we had a good experience at Fujiyama. The food seemed authentic and satisfying, and the service was attentive. I would like to return to try some of their other rolls, especially the more affordable options, such as the Salmon Roll ($6.50), and see how they compare with those at other Japanese restaurants we frequent. I'd rate Fujiyama 4.5 stars out of 5, rounded up to 5. It's a cozy little restaurant worth a visit, and I'm looking forward to trying more of its menu.

But when I asked a simple question, Is there usually no onion in chicken fried rice? he proceeded to yell at my wife and said "WHAT DO YOU WANT", my wife was uncomfortable and said her experience was ruined. I explained to Thomas that we were just trying to figure out how it's usually prepared since she wanted onion in the rice. The rice was bland. A bit later he prepared the beef fried rice and I requested more teriyaki in my rice. He said "No, you eat" in which I replied "No, I'm the customer and I want a little bit more teriyaki" he then proceeded to point at my teriyaki dish (that had vegetables and egg sauce in it) and I said no. He reluctantly added more teriyaki to my rice. It was like I asked for a lottery ticket. It was ridiculous. For $150 Thomas treated us and others at our table very poorly. Unfortunately my wife and I will not be back for a long time.

Every time I'm in the suburbs, I try to stop by because both the food and service are very consistent. My two favorites are the Omakase King and Hamachi Truffle Roll. I order these almost every time! The fish is always fresh, and I especially love that they use a smaller amount of rice with the sushi. You don't even have to ask for "easy rice," which is a big plus for me. Another nice thing about the location is that there are plenty of Asian markets, bakeries, and cafés nearby, so it's an easy place to stop for dinner before or after shopping. Fresh fish, good portions, clean atmosphere, efficient service, and very consistent quality. Definitely a go-to restaurant for me!

This particular day that I tried to do the order, I could not do it online so I had to call it in. In fact, I learned that if you call it in, it's the same price as the menu that they give you in the restaurant. If you order it through any of the platforms online, it's a higher price. The key to order Ordering online as I learned also later because the website came back up is that they will only do same-day orders that are available immediately you cannot do orders that are planned for the future online, but I'm sure if you called in you could So I ordered a bunch of sushi as usual and a bowl of tempura over rice. Everything was ready on time. The bag was full of soy sauce and the ginger, wasabi napkins and chopsticks, which was absolutely fantastic. Everything was super well prepared and packaged that when I got home, everyone could just dive in. I would definitely recommend them for takeout again. I would use them for takeout again, especially if you are ready to pick it up immediately. And they are still the best value best quality for the price in the area.

I really like that you have a lot to choose from, and the included amount was decent. Like, you can pick up to five different toppings like edamame, pineapple, etc, up to three different proteins, toppings like tempura flakes, and different types of rice, including purple rice, which was great. I went with black rice, pineapple, masago, green onions, edamame, salmon, tuna, tofu, and some spicy sriracha. It was delicious. My son loved his poke bowl, but he did say he wished there was more rice. Overall, food was great, service was good, and the overall dining experience is worth a revisit. BATHROOM REVIEW: Located near the back, there is a men's and women's bathroom. In the men's, there is a urinal and a toilet. I always wondered whether to lock the door behind me in these situations. Well, I couldn't anyways, as the lock was broken. So I peed as quick as possible, to avoid being walked-in on. The toilet handle was hard to press but thankfully I got to the gym and it paid off here. Sit or squat? Squat.
