"The art of sushi is about time and patience, reflecting the attention to detail put into every bite as well as the many years that can go into a chef’s training. In this case, Chen Zheng has been the chef for over 25 years; in 2016, he bought the restaurant from Masaharu “Matt” Ito and his son, Jesse Ito (who now owns the acclaimed Royal Sushi & Izakaya in Philly’s Queen Village neighborhood). With its dim lighting and serene music, Fuji sets a relaxing scene for diners to take their time and savor every piece of delicately prepared fish. Beyond classic sashimi and playful rolls, Fuji also makes a mean shabu shabu, a hot pot filled with thinly sliced beef and harusame noodles." - Kae Lani Palmisano
