Abandoned Fujiyama Japanese Steakhouse Weirton, WV. This old restaurant used to be a Hardees at one point. Closed in late 2016.

That looks like it was an older (80's) Hardees fast food originally.

That building was originally a Hardee's. The Japanese place probably moved into the restaurant after Hardee's closed there.

Thanks for the upload, Wallie! Keep the videos coming. I ate at that place as Hardee's in my childhood and they had a play area similar to that of Chuck E. Cheese. I frequent the car wash next door and even filmed going thru it. Next time you are in Weirton, we should meet up, Wallie!

welcome to my hometown. It closed late in 2016. Those cats are feral and diseased. It closed because the cost was too high for an area that has an average income of maybe 20000 per household per year. I used to work at the little marathon across the street. It started its life as a Hardee's.

They closed down very shortly after someone posted a video on Facebook that went viral about their sanitary conditions. They shot video all throughout the kitchen. It was very appalling. Thankfully I only ate here once for mother's day around 2011.

I grew up in the Steubenville area, back in the late 1990's I remember this as a Hardees. Sometime me and my buddies would stop there after leaving Boots, was a country bar / club in Weirton area....not sure if that's still around would be interesting if you could do a video on it :-)

Before it was Fujiyama, it was a Hardee’s for nearly 20 years. Fujiyama came to the Ohio Valley in about 2008-9 in Wheeling. ... point of trivia: To the right of it once stood the Red Rose Inn, Weirton’s house of ill-repute. ... it’s my guess that it closed due to downtown being a poor business environment. There’s better restaurants nearby, like Mario’s, and much better Asian fare in the area.
