Lange Farms

What Lange Farms does

Fushi Yami Hibachi & Sushi is a family-owned Japanese restaurant located at 822 W Lincoln Hwy in DeKalb, Illinois, founded in 2020. It operates a single dine-in location that combines two Japanese dining formats under one roof: hibachi (teppanyaki) tables, where chefs perform live cooking with fire shows and knife tricks while grilling steaks, chicken, and seafood in front of guests, and a sushi bar serving nigiri, sashimi, and creative maki rolls. The core technology is standard commercial kitchen equipment (teppanyaki iron griddles and sushi prep stations), with no proprietary software or AI components; the only notable digital integration is the third-party imenu360 platform for online ordering.

The business runs on a direct-to-consumer food-service model, monetizing primarily through in-restaurant dining and secondarily through carryout and delivery. Pricing is à la carte across menu categories, with appetizers from $1.50 (miso soup) to $6.50 (tempura/calamaris), hibachi fried rice and noodle entrees from $9.95 to $14.95+, hibachi combination entrees at comparable levels, dedicated kids' hibachi options from $6.95 to $12.95, and beverages ranging from soft drinks at $2.50 to cold sake bottles at $12.00+. The restaurant is open seven days a week, accepts reservations for hibachi tables on weekends, and accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and cash (no personal checks).

Marketing is conducted organically through the company's website (fushiyami.com), an active Facebook page, and the imenu360 storefront, with no formal paid acquisition programs disclosed. The company is privately held and family-owned, with no institutional investors, parent company, funding rounds, or executive team disclosed in the data. Note: the input firmographic header references "Lange Farms" (Portageville, Missouri, 14 employees, thelangefarm.com), but the substantive source material — including scraped website content, structured product/pricing/location data, and company history — uniformly describes Fushi Yami Hibachi & Sushi; this analysis is grounded in that substantive data.
