Fujiyama [Restaurant Review ]

The real Fujiyama is thousands of miles away in Japan and is a real test of endurance and fitness to climb, no such efforts needed here. This quaint little spot at the quieter end of Norton Street is a humble eatery that offers some very nice dishes.

When we went Fujiyama one Thursday night, we were the only ones there. Fujiyama unlike the mountain is quite small but they say good things come in small packages and it was the case with this one.

Very clean and tidy which is a must in my books. Some strange bits to mention; like the water filled transparent gloves hanging in the kitchen (apparently this keeps flies away)

The menu was good and the price was very fair to say the least. We started with the Yakidori (or Yakitori) which was nice and well worth the $8, and the Goroke (or Korokke) which was very nice.

We decided to stay well clear of anything that even sounded like Teriyaki and instead opted for the delicious Yakiuiku Beef (or Yakiniku) followed swiftly by the Ton Katsu Don which was the winner for me, I must also mention the miso soup, which I thought was very tasty, even if I had to ask for the spoon!

If its fine dinning your after then I would say give this place a miss, but if it's a pleasant, clean, quick and economical place you are after, a local to Leichhardt and don't feel like Italian, then give it a go.
