Dining with a large group? Craving some creative sushi? Just looking for a quick drink? That’s all available at Fuji Sushi & Hibachi in Greenway Station.
The space (formerly TGI Friday’s) is gigantic, divided into a bar, sushi bar, booth seating, table seating and hibachi seating. The menu is equally large, though many of the items are simply variations of one another.
How’s the sushi? Since sushi is in the name of the restaurant, you should expect some really good sushi, and you will find it here. It’s served a la carte, in rolls, in special rolls and as entrees.
- If you like seafood, you have to get the Fancy Rainbow Roll ($14.95), which is tied for most expensive roll on the menu. It’s an explosion of flavors, as the roll is packed with salmon, tuna and cucumber, then topped more tuna and salmon plus white tuna, red snapper, avocado, chili, mayo and wasabi mayo.
- Not as filling but just as delicious is the Black Dragon Roll ($12.95). It’s got eel, imitation crab and avocado, plus some not-really-spicy mayo, and everything was proportionally balanced.
- Next time I’ll probably get the aptly named crawfish roll ($11.95) or the blue crab roll ($14.95).
What else can I order? The rest of the menu includes the expected Japanese fare such as bento boxes, noodles and tempura.
- It’s a good thing you get dipping sauce with the soft shell crab ($8.50), which is deep fried, because it’s quite bland.
- The Nabeyaki udon ($15.95) is hearty and loaded to the brim with imitation crab, fish cake, salmon, chicken, beef, veggies and egg. Still, these ingredients didn’t chip in much flavor to the nearly tasteless broth, so you’ll likely need to add Sriracha or some other sauce.
Fuji Sushi & Hibachi is open every day for lunch and dinner.

Despite opening less than two years ago, the Edgewater Hotel has overhauled its food offerings. A revamped management team includes a new GM, a new executive chef and consulting help from Bartolotta Restaurants. I was invited recently to see the outcome of these transformations that abide by the theme of “Modern Midwestern.”
Bar food, too. Start or end your night at Augie’s, named for the previous owner of the Edgewater. You’ll find bar snacks, small plates, sandwiches and salads on the larger-than-expected menu.
Now’s a good time as any to visit 
Good variety in seafood selection. I appreciated that the seasonal menu is focused but has some breadth to it.
