| - Right on the south border of Chinatown, Fuji Yama serves much standard fair to be expected at a Japanese restaurant. My dining companion enjoyed his udon noodle soup and some spicy roll (the variety of which I sadly do not remember). As it had been a hot day, I had a tofu appetizer--soft tofu served with some aromatics (green onion etc.) and bonito shavings. It seemed to be a bit messy to handle just with chopsticks, given the tofu wasn't firm. However, this appetizer was rather refreshing. For my main course, I had shrimp curry over rice, good rich flavors, not very spicy, if at all (I could have used a bit more kick for sure). And it seems a bit of a misnomer, as it was tempura shrimp covered with the curry sauce atop the rice. Attentive, timely service, paired with rather reasonable prices. The sort of place I would come back to when visiting Calgary again.
