37 Best Sushi Bars near Barrington

“Bowlful of Korea is such a cute little spot! The restaurant is nicely decorated, clean, and has a really welcoming atmosphere. There’s also plenty of parking, which is always a plus since it’s conveniently located right next to a Jewel-Osco. Only downside is that there is two individual bathrooms which I could foresee being an issue if the place is packed.

The restaurant is self-serve and kiosk-style. You place your order at the kiosk, grab a number, and sit at any available table. They’ll bring your food directly to you, so the process is super easy and convenient. There’s also a designated area where you can grab water and utensils yourself.

One thing I thought was a really nice touch is that they have an additional private room on the side that’s available to rent for events. I could definitely see this being a great option for birthday parties, bridal showers, intimate gatherings, or other small celebrations.

We ordered three things: Chicken Katsu – $14 and two Assorted Sashimi Bowl – $21 each. Everything we tried was delicious and came in generous portions. I especially appreciated how fresh and balanced the bowls felt, with a great variety of vegetables alongside the protein. The meals felt filling without being overly heavy, and there was a nice variety of ingredients in every bowl.“

“If you want authentic food an amazing experience then this is your go to. The owners are hardworking and they do everything themselves. When you come here, you will be greeted by the hostess/waitress with a smiling face. A sweet Japanese man will be making the sushi and a lovely woman in the kitchen preparing with love all of the hot dishes. It is places like this that I love to eat, quite the opposite of the corporate chain restaurants who give you minimal while charging the max. This place does the opposite. You get the full value out of your dollar and it is well spent. The freshness of the sushi and the flavor of the chicken yakitori are second to none, because love is an ingredient that is not often found in restaurants anymore. Please do yourself a favor and bring your family to a restaurant that you will feel wholesome while filling you up.“

“It's a great local restaurant for birthdays and other events!! Delicious food and wine as well as wonderful service!!“

“Best sushi ever, great hospitality, I recommend the Salmon Sunset. I can never get sushi anywhere else, this place is a hidden gem!! 10/10“

“I made my first visit to Prime Sushi & Ramen today. It won't be my last. I ordered negihama maki (yellowtail roll) and salmon roll for pickup. My order was ready on time, the portions of fish were high quality and generous, and they got my special request (no wasabi) right. I haven't had the dine-in experience yet, but they occupy the former Amore Mio space, which is lovely. I'm delighted to have another fine restaurant in that space, and I look forward to becoming a regular!“

“Absolutely fantastic! I ordered the Kaiseki Bento with Salmon, and it was a feast! The grilled salmon was perfectly cooked—crispy skin with tender, flaky meat. The bento came with miso soup, fresh salad, delicious gyoza, tempura that was light and crispy, and a few California rolls that rounded out the meal beautifully. Great presentation and flavor. Sushi EN has definitely become my new go-to for Japanese lunch and dinner specials!“

“I love this place so much. The take out is quick, fresh, reasonably priced and SO delicious! My last visit, the chef was literally the server at the same time, I did a walk-in takeout order for Sashimi and it was ready fresh in 10 mins. Tasted incredible. Pro tip: Sometimes their hours aren't accurate on here, I've found them to be actually open a few times when internet said closed, so always worth a phone call attempt first!“

“握壽司好吃！綠茶香，不澀。味噌湯不死鹹。to go的章魚燒🐙跟唐揚雞味道好份量足。所有食物價格合宜。有很多日式小包箱，適合多人聚餐唷。“

“Phenomenal in a true gem in the Hoffman Estates area. The crabcake is to die for. Some of the best sushi that I’ve eaten all around. Very reasonably priced super tentative staff. If you have the opportunity to eat here, take it.“

“Awesome time. No rush dining. All you can eat!“

“They make really good cooked to order fried rice. My Fiancé has also enjoyed sushi from this establishment. Top notch stuff.“

“The best sweet potato sushi I’ve had, delicious.“

“Party sushi Trays - Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — every bite was perfection.“

“Food was so good 😊 we love the lunch special’s they have.“

“Absolutely incredible experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The atmosphere is a solid 10/10, the interior and design are 10/10, and the food is simply on another level.

I ordered the Snow Crab Salad, and it was an absolute 10/10 — fresh, perfectly balanced, and bursting with flavor. The Sea Bass was just as impressive: beautifully prepared, incredibly flavorful, and cooked to perfection.

Both dishes completely blew me away. Every bite hit every taste bud and delivered layer after layer of flavor. This wasn't just a good meal — it was the kind of food you remember long after you leave.

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

“Love that they offer so many vegan options here. I come here for specialty itmes that I can't find anywhere else. They have vegan donuts, croissants, cookies, and more. They used to have vegan tamales which were great but I haven't seen them in a while. Good place for a variety of food!“

“Food is super, staff is very friendly, prices very reasonable, the owner is always there and waiting for you. Strongly recommended, don’t miss that place if you’re near there. Im going there from Fox Lake to enjoy one of the best food.“

“One of the best places to eat on earth! Flavors are amazing. Salad dressing is the best. Spicy Garlic Shrimp - amazing! The house made Teriyaki is the best I ever had! Such a great place! Highly recommend. :)“

“The food and service were both quite good“

“We've lived in this area for 20 years now, and this is hands down one of our favorite local establishments. The service is warm, yet efficient, and the food is outstanding. Highly recommend for an evening with a few friends or an intimate one on one dinner.

I wish nothing but the best for this restaurant and its owners. Solid A+.“

“Spicy miso Ramen, so good“

“I went to Wok n Fire for my first time tonight and got to experience it a little differently with it being the first day you are able to dine indoors since COVID. Our waitress, Stacey was absolutely amazing! She gave personal recommendations and even traded out my girlfriends wine that she didn’t like. Great food and delicious!“

“Ordered carry-out from the Vernon Hills location and loved it! Fantastic quality ramen, flavorful broth and still hot after getting it home. Miso Ramen and Taiwan Ramen are fantastic, but beware that single pepper icon, because it’s no joke! (And I say this as someone who grew up eating spicy food 🙂) Delicious, but intense! I would LOVE to see a milder version of the Taiwan Ramen (or at least a way to adjust the heat, like the Spicy Miso), because the flavor was truly amazing and addictive.“

“The food and service are great!“

“Family and I had some great food tonight. Large portions too. Will be back.“

“Love this place!!! Great prices and everything is SO fresh!! love the quality and the packaging is so cute and sustainable. They always make sure to cordon off the wasabi from the sushi which I love too because I don't care for it in the slightest but my husband loves it so I always give him mine. I don't know anywhere else I can get this quality combined with the price. 3 rolls for under $30 is unbeatable in my opinion. As long as they're around I'll continue to order from them at LEAST once a week!!! Keep it up guys❤️“

“Good, friendly service. Good sushi. Fun place to eat sushi with family and friends.“

“Lovely restaurant for parties of all sizes. We had 8 adults and 2 children.

Sushi is very good.

Spring roll was very good.

Shrimp,dishes were very good.

Service was very good.

Basically, everything was very good.

Not crowded for a Thursday dinner.

Menu had plenty of options.

Yep, no pictures. Someday I’ll remember. I don’t eat at restaurants just to review them; I eat at these restaurants because someone in my party made reservations.“

“Great food and service enjoyed my meal will definitely come back“

“Excellent value especially if you get Lettuce Entertain You Rewards!“

“I am not a fan of sushi but my friend likes it. we went to try it out. The revolving sushi was really nice for me since the servings were generally 2-3 pieces so icould try different items without being committed to full roll. If there was something that we wanted to order off the menu then we could order separately from the electronic ordering menu and these items were delivered quickly. all items were very fresh. The sushi items were 3.90 from the revolving bar. Additional menu items had different charges. Beef udon soup wa 10.95 , serving size was ok. I would not order it again since it had a sweetness to it and I prefer more savory. Overall, fun experience, good food and lively atmosphere.“

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

“I been coming to Sushi King since I moved to Algonquin back in 2017, it's one of my favorite sushi places. Since I work from home I will sometimes go on my lunch break for a quick sushi lunch. My wife prefers hot food so she loves the Raman and the Udon noddle's which are really GOOD! I like to go with just my wife but I have also taken groups of friends as well, great service each time. I love the Angel Roll and tuna salad is fantastic! I hard recommend the Algonquin Sushi King from it's great staff to the amazing food. In the last 8 years I been eating there about 50+ times and each time is great! The Raman is perfect right as wintertime sets in here in Algonquin.“

“Fantastic atmosphere, big portions of delicious food and tasty hot sake👍👍“

“Empire Buffet is easily one of the best buffet experiences around. The selection here is massive and far beyond what you’d expect from a typical buffet.

What Sets It Apart
- Incredible Seafood Selection: Massive variety including crab, lobster, and clams that make it truly unique in the buffet space.
- Real Sushi Bar: They serve legitimate sushi, rolls, and sashimi rather than basic, run-of-the-mill buffet sushi.
- Peak Freshness & Temperature: Because the restaurant is large and constantly full, food turnover is fast. Hot dishes stay hot and cold items stay cold.
- Attentive Staff: There are tons of employees continuously monitoring the trays. Someone stays stationed at the buffet at all times calling back low items to ensure everything is promptly restocked.

Atmosphere & Timing
It is a bit on the pricier side, but the quality and selection make it well worth the cost. The restaurant is almost always packed, often with a line out the door. We stopped by at 3:00 PM hoping to beat the lunch and dinner rush; while we were seated right away, the dining room was still 100% full! It's also a popular spot for celebrations where they bring a fun signboard to your table and play a special birthday song over the speakers.

The dessert section is good, but not quite at the elite level of their seafood and hot bars.

Overall, the quality and variety are fantastic. I barely scratched the surface of everything they offer and will definitely be back anytime I'm in the area!“
