Ok, it's way late in the day but I relented and went to Fujiyama with the kids a few days ago and for the first time ever it was actually quite good. Perhaps it was quiet and so they could actually turn out some reasonable grub or maybe they've got their act together but, anyway, I (partly) take back my earlier dis.

Ooh - I often go for an oyako don too. Heart warming for winter.

I agree, I mean, Fujiyama is ok and all but if I wasn't often in Brixton then I wouldn't bother. Come to think of it I haven't for a while. It's always really bloody cold in there as well! Do you find that?

@sunfug - I am really not sure. I am a very bad Chinese person (as many of those near to me can profess) but the food has always been ok for me. Not outstanding but decent, good value local food.

@lizzie - Yep, nothing fancy and everything is pretty much under a tenner. I think the Oyako Don was about £6 and they have a menu online if you fancy checking out the rest.

Wild Boar - I have no love for raw fish (GASP!) but I do love this dish.

@getmarriedin.com - Definitely handy ;)

I think its a guy thing; we're happy to keep ordering the same stuff once we find something we like.

Tehbus, has Fujiyama changed hands? I have never had a decent meal there, yet over the years have been dragged back by friends insisting on how good it is. I'm from Hong Kong which may explain my view but then you're a Chinaman too so what's up? Maybe they've got their act together. Now, if you want something truly excellent get yourself to Cafe on the Hill, halfway up Brixton Hill on a Thursday to a Saturday. It's a greasy spoon, co-owned by a lovely Thai family. On those hallowed days Michael serves his Beef Noodle Soup made from long-simmered shin in an incredible fragrant broth - fantastic!

Looking forward to following your blog

What are the prices like?

there's a Japanese in Catford which I rather like, Sapporo Ichiban. Nothing fancy, but nice and cheap.
