Let the chefs at Fujiyama entertain you with their skills on the hibachi (Japanese grill). From flaming onions to dancing eggs, the food here will do anything except disappoint. Did I mention that the shrimp appetizer is included in most of the entrées?

Souvlaki

The Souvlaki is a great little sandwich made with slices of meat, lettuce, and tomatoes cradled with pita bread and drizzled with sadziki. If you haven’t tried Greek food yet, you’re missing out.

Crunch Roll

Every week, Washington Menu will begin posting “Lunch of the Week”. It will feature an item ordered at a restaurant that Washington Menu visits for lunch.

Our featured item this week is the Crunch Roll. And when we say crunch, we mean crunch. Shrimp tempura with cucumber and avocado is delish and the tempura flakes add a nice touch. Order it the next time you’re in Auburn at Himitsu Sushi & Teriyaki.

Joel - owner of Himitsu Sushi and Teriyaki

What does Himitsu mean?
“Secret” in Japanese.

What do you  like most about running the restaurant?
Socializing. I love to talk to people.

What do you like least about running the restaurant?
Time away from family.

Describe the type of food that is served here.
It’s kind of a fusion. 90% is Japanese style. 10% is made up.

What’s the most interesting comment you have ever received from a customer?
I had a customer tell me, “With your talent and your ideas, you should be in a 5-star hotel!”

If I were a first time customer, what would you recommend I order?
If you don’t like sushi, I encourage people to try the Bento box.
If it’s sushi you like, try anything with salmon.

You have quite a variety of sushi rolls. What’s your favorite and why?
Flaming Salmon. The reason why is it’s fun to make and when I light it on fire, the finished product is cool.

What makes your restaurant different from all the other Teriyaki restaurants out there?
Food just tastes better overall.
