not only does fuji hiro look like any one of the thousands of dimly-lit eateries that you can find scattered across asia, but the food tastes just as good aswell. and while the decor and furniture are basic, the restaurant is clean and the welcome warm.

the star of the show here has to be the noodles with grilled chicken and a crushed peanut and chilli sauce, accompanied by pork dumplings and a lovely chilled asahi.

the generous helpings and reasonably-priced dishes mean that fuji hiro is one of those little haunts you can rely on time and again.
