IMHO (as did many others based on reviews) they had the freshest fish, best presentation and friendliest staff of all other Sushi places in both Forest and Oak Park. We ended up at another place in Oak Park (which shall remain nameless.) that was a major disappointment and couldn't compare to Fuji Grill. Overall a very disappointing evening.
Pot stickers, egg rolls, crab rangoon... Pad Thai...

I'm guessing it'll be packed for a while.

I’m in. I always wait a month for them to iron out the kinks.
The burgers and Mac-n-cheese have always been pretty good.
We’re going tomorrow for a date night drink.

First the bad news...
The stalwart...
Inos

... has a For Sale sign in the window. Still open for business.
I have been a fan ever since they were located just on the other side of Harlem and Carm’s Beef occupied their current spot.
Several unique items, double burritos, all beef burritos and their special Steak and Mushroom burrito.
Most of their menu was prepared well to this standard.
Don’t know what the story is about the sale.

So true. I thought it was just me, but that guy was sullen at best.

For a while they had designs to move into a storefront on Madison just east of KFC but that never materialized.

Maybe we will be surprised!
Driving by today I noticed the cases (deli and beverage) were filled.
Is the opening imminent?

Owner often on the premises, greeting patrons with a big smile and casual conversation, ready to man the register when things get hopping.
Glad to have them around.

Brewing tanks have arrived for installation this week at One Lake, the craft brewery currently under construction at the corner of Lake Street and Austin Boulevard. Another key step in the long conversion of the handsome old bank building into a multi-level beer pub.
