Fujima

You'll find Fujima tucked away on Abbey Street, in that stretch where Bangor's actually got some decent independent spots worth seeking out. It's the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself—locals know where to go when they want actual Japanese food, not the mass-produced stuff. The menu's straightforward: ramen that's been simmered properly, sushi that's fresh, katsu that's got proper crunch. Nothing pretentious, nothing trying too hard. It's exactly what you want from a neighbourhood Japanese restaurant.
