12 Best Japanese Restaurants in Arlington Heights

“They had yakitori, which I tried. I ordered the chicken thigh, pork belly, and sausage. Everything is cooked to perfection and smells good from the charcoal fire. The pork belly is my favorite because of the fat, the meat was crispy and tender. I ordered the karaage don (mayo & poached egg) as my main course. I believe the teriyaki sauce was overdone. As a result, the chicken lost its crunch.“

“Some of the best sushi I have had anywhere.

Edit: 1 year later and it was even better than my last time. The fish is incredible and the chefs know exactly what they are doing. Fantastic flavor combinations and one of the rare places they actually put some wasabi under the fish on nigiri- no soy, ginger, or wasabi needs to be added. Definitely give it a go.“

“Very nice, hardworking staff and delicious food! Love this place and highly recommend!! 😋👍“

“the food is yummy / authentic japanese ! the service is great ,“

“Royce chocolate and cookies is located inside of mitsuwa along with several high end vendors and shops. Royce doesn't disappoint. Paris was extremely helpful and went over all of the offerings that Royce had. I ended up getting the variety pack because I couldn't make up mind. Great gifts for the adventurous tongue and even for someone with a sweet tooth. The have adorable pink gift bags to make it for a quick pick up. I absolutely recommend the fromage blanc chips, they are delicious and daring at the same time!“

“We love this place and we will going to miss it“

“I took a few moments of respite from my quest to be a great person to go to this great Japanese-influenced food place.
The meal I had was very good and inexpensive. It was a very good ramen. There were also good fried ingredients, the fried egg was crazy as the young people who are hungry for crazy things say. However I give 0/20 to the fried fish.
But I still give 19/20 to the whole meal which was super banger.
The only downside and one point less is that there is clearly no place to eat your super yum meal: "(please think about putting more chairs or tables or benches or anything (not a suitcase or a mini pistachio, neither of these would be useful in this situation)

Banco for this place yum.
Goodbye UwU

Vegetarian options: Rice and miso“

“Very good quality fish. great service“

“Ordering through this restaurant is an introvert's dream. You mainly order through a kiosk and I was able to customize my order to my liking. Looking back, I wish I had added more curry to my dish.I got the chicken katsu curry w/ extra rice, 10 gyoza on the side to share and a water bottle. Food was fantastic and I actually took home leftovers, (which were fantastic leftovers btw). I spent about 30 bucks on my food, however you're near Chicago, so what do you expect?Others complained about wait time, however I came with a group of people, so it worked out as I was able to locate a table while I waited for my food. The kiosk also asked for my phone number so to text me with my order number and to tell me when it was ready.“

“Wow just wow. This is my first time trying sushi in American and if its this good i will never go back to my own country. Everything is fresh and yummy. The nicest and most caring Staff i ever experianced. I believe the waitress is the owner and she is the most caring person in a resturant i had ever dealt with. Truly very good food and service i will Come back😍❤“

“Enjoyed a simple but incredibly tasty lunch with the BlueFin tuna and crunchy rolls that were soooo good. Yum!!!!😊👍“

“The food is really good we got #43 and #48 it comes with extra spices/seasoning on the side. The only “issue” is that this place is located inside of Mitsuwa Asian Market so it tends to be VERY BUSY during the weekend which means that customer service is not the best unfortunately. The food was under $15 each.“
