“We visited with a large party for a friend’s birthday, so there was a bit of a wait before we were able to get our food order in, but overall the experience was positive. I don’t usually like sushi, so I ordered the yaki udon, which was good, and it came with a miso soup that I really enjoyed; though I do wish the udon portion had been a bit larger.

My partner ordered the Mango Tango roll and chicken tempura sushi and really liked both. The sushi was good overall, and the presentation was pretty, even if it was served on fairly basic plates. We also tried the chicken karaage, which had good flavor but could have been a little juicier.

To top it off, since we were celebrating a birthday, the staff brought out a free dessert for the table, which was a really nice touch. Overall, it’s a solid local all-you-can-eat sushi spot and a good option, especially for group dining.“

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

“I went here with my mom after seeing a TikTok video about it, and I really recommend it! They have both a Chinese and a Japanese menu, so there are tons of options to pick from. I tried the Tonkatsu Don, and it was absolutely delicious! My mom had the Gyu Don, and it was also fantastic.“

“I've been to a lot of AYCE sushi places. I just tried this spot and it's my new favorite. The restaurant itself is small but the sushi was some of the best I've had. The rolls were on the smaller side which means I can order more and get more variety. The icing on the cake is that the AYCE dinner is $25 which is great considering others are at least $30 nowadays“

“We were met by two of the nicest people today. Ichiro and Mrs. Lee. They were warm and friendly, and Ichiro made a recommendation which we obliged. He said if you don’t like it, no problem I will make you whatever you like. He made a recommendation for Ramen and sushi and everything was top quality, amazing flavor, and our new favorite! Thank you so much! You are two beautiful souls! Luca and I will see you Sunday for lunch.“

“I have eaten at Tanaka Sushi once or twice a month since 2021, and they consistently serve the best Japanese and Korean food in the Naperville/Lisle area. I am a sushi snob, and their sushi is always fresh and well-prepared. Their cooked dishes are always served piping hot and delicious, well-plated, and the portion sizes are great for the price. The employees clearly have a tight-knit work environment, and they are all always polite. I cannot recommend this restaurant more. You will never regret a Tanaka Sushi lunch.“

“Absolutely blown away by Ichiddo Ramen in Naperville! Their ramen is fantastic—rich broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and toppings that hit the spot every time. But the real game-changers are their appetizers—absolutely freaking awesome! I highly recommend the short rib and crab jalapeño appetizers; they're insanely delicious, packed with flavor, and totally addictive. The service is always fast, friendly, and attentive, making each visit an absolute pleasure. Ichiddo Ramen has quickly become my go-to spot—5 stars without hesitation!“
