Oily and heavy, the dish stands in stark contrast to the bright and lean sushi fare. For non-sushi lovers, Sushi Ten boasts a voluminous menu of other options, such as teriyaki, donburi, noodle dishes and tempura. Dipped in the accompanying mellow soy sauce, it makes a delicate appetizer. Not content to restrict our eel consumption to sushi, we sampled the unagi donburi, steamed rice topped with two large filets of charbroiled eel sprinkled with a sweet soy sauce. Presented in an elegant lacquered box, it's an uncomplicated, mouthwatering meal.
Service is efficient, if somewhat frenzied.
For diners looking to end their meal on a sweet note, packaged desserts are available. Warm wood tones, rounded partitions and dark-pastel walls give the restaurant a hip, sleek feel. Cool jazz and recessed lighting create a soft and inviting atmosphere. Sushi, only part of the appeal at Fujiyama, becomes a viable appetizer in light of the menu's wide range of traditional and modern dishes. Although the sushi is fresh and tasty, it falls short of sensational when compared to Sushi Ten's bounty.
