The Starving Artist quickly learns the art of chopsticks at Fuji

The Vegetable Maki ($4.50), a type of vegetarian sushi roll, consisted of cucumber, carrots, lettuce and artichoke surrounded by rice and seaweed. The seaweed, which is a bit salty, may be hard for some people to take because of the texture or taste.
The main course was equally as fantastic. The Teriyaki Chicken ($12.95) which comes with white rice and vegetables arrived at the table on a sizzling hot plate. The sweet teriyaki chicken was bubbling from the heat, so a little caution was taken. Not a lot though, it was just too good to hold back.
After dinner was over we, of course, wanted dessert. When it comes to dessert, there may not be a better place for Fried Ice cream ($6). With the sad news that there was no more vanilla, chocolate was our choice. They also offered green tea ice cream, but that may be a little too daring for my taste. The ice cream was fried in a flaky batter that was sweet and very pastry-like in texture. This was cut into four triangle shapes and covered with whipped cream. Sweet, sweet creamy goodness. As soon as the customers seated next to us saw how fabulous our dessert was, they promptly ordered some of their own. Hooray for starting a trend!
I look forward to eating there again and maybe next time I will head downstairs to experience what else Fuji has to offer. I recommend this great restaurant with its quaint dining room, exciting downstairs with hibachi tables, and fine cuisine.
