Fuji Hana

Nice food an place tobeat

Food is very good, place is full and family friendly.

Fuji Hana, or "Fuji" is probably the number one kosher Asian restaurant in the area, and typically frequented by the Jewish community nearby.

It's almost a sure thing that the food will be consistently good. While the ambiance can sometimes feel like a high school cafeteria, the service is speedy and the food itself is what keeps everyone coming back.

The menu has something like 100 items, and everyone's got their favorite. However, a few key options stand out to me:
1) String beans - probably blanched and then pan blistered in a garlic sauce, these beans are crunchy and flavorful. Others have tried and failed to replicate this recipe over the years.
2) Salad - they've got this salad composed of iceberg, cucumber and tomato and it's super crunchy. There's a green dressing (probably most similar to 'green goddess' from Chop't) and a ginger dressing, both great.
3) Sesame chicken, lemon chicken, finger lickin chicken, chicken katsu, or really anything in the special items list.

Sushi is always fresh, and they've recently added in a crispy rice, topped with spicy tuna and avocado (although it wasn't the kind you'd expect in Manhattan).

The fried rice (with chicken, beef, or salad) is consistently fresh and crunchy, but sometimes needs salt or soy sauce. And I wish they would give some kind of spicy sauce on the side, because spice doesn't seem to be part of their menu.

I don't think they've changed much on the menu in years, and their takeout/delivery is always speedy. The staff is all Asian, for an authentic feel.

For dessert - get the Toll house pie a la mode. It's non dairy (to comply with Jewish dietary laws) but is sure to please. Oh, and tell them it's your birthday.

Good Kosher Japanese food, good service. The Fuji Hana String Beans are amazing. Great Sushi. Salad dressings are incredible.
