They say the restaurant used to be packed with people with a line out the door, but now they are seeing a lot less business and so they are forced to close the restaurant.
I haven't eaten at Mt Fuji Inn in at least 12-15 years so I can't speak about that.
However I grew up 4 blocks from this restaurant and walked by it on the way to school every day for 8 years. Â The place wasn't anything special to look at and the only upkeep they did on the exterior of the building was when their parking lot started to collapse on to the neighboring building and the city forced them to fix it.

I don't care how good or popular some place is, if they don't stay somewhat current, they aren't going to last forever.
I know on the TV story the mentioned something about chains running them out of business, but that's |expletive|. Â What Japanese chain is competition to this place? Â
I enjoyed this string on Twitter from the OWH's Emily Nohr, who was live-tweeting the hearing about "Candyland" at today's council meeting.
The council unanimously denied recommending a license. But they moved to rename the business "Candi's" in the event the state liquor board overrules them and issues a license, which the owner apparently agreed with.

With the Internet, WiFi, Smartphones and social media, who has a need for “gentleman’s clubs” anymore? I am totally serious.
I agree. When I was more into the lifestyle, clubs/breast taverns were my least rewarding avenue. Between Motley Crue cranked to eleven, $5 club sodas, women who charged extra to smile, a-cups with stretch marks...I was glad when the Only Chance gor urban-renewaled.
