“This is my number 1 go-to spot and my favorite restaurant of all time. I've been going to this location since they opened their doors and every time I walk in I feel extremely welcomed and excited to see the great additions they make. The staff are some of the most kind and wonderful people I've ever met, super kind with a wonderful smile, they make every vist feel amazing. The atmosphere is beautiful, since the beginning they've been adding new details to fit the aesthetic and improving the overall quality. The food is amazing, it taste great with super fresh ingredients; it makes any tummy feel good. They are able to craft your meal however you need it be and they serve fast and hot! They have a wide variety or appetizers and main dishes that all taste great. I absolutely love this place and very thankful we have this restaurant in our community! Cannot wait till my next vist!“

“For someone who loves eating out and loves ramen it is very hard to find a spot that me and my friends can agree on that can help accommodate my halal diet, but this place made it possible for me and my friends to have a place that can accommodate all of us. The halal spicy ramen was amazing and I enjoyed every bite, the atmosphere was amazing and calm, and the service was top tier where I didn’t have to wait long to get my order taken or wait too long for the food. Thank you US Ramen staff for your hard work.“

“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.“

“Went here recently for the first time. We got the all you can eat deal. We started with the crab rangoons and they were below average. It was just cream cheese inside with no flavor. On the other hand, the sushi was great. Very fresh, quick, and flavorful. If the crab rangoon was seasoned better, this place would be 5 stars.“

“Fantastic place and Luke was a great server. Will come back again when we are back in the area! Don’t skip out on this place. 🤤“

“Wonderful food and great people, highly recommend them!“

“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!“

“This is lovely place to relax and enjoy a meal. Our waiter, Paul, was so kind! His service was impressive. This was our first experience with Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ. The food was amazing. When we return, we will ask for Paul!“

“My boyfriend and I love sushi and have tried places over the country. This was hands down the best sushi we have ever had. The owner was so kind and even gave us a special role to just try! The salmon was amazing. My favorite roll was The Grinch and his was That roll. We will be back again soon!“

“I'm updating my review because I believe it's important to recognize businesses that take customer feedback seriously.

I've been coming to this Teriyaki Madness location with my coworkers for about two years, and it's always been one of our go-to lunch spots. My previous visit was disappointing due to burnt orange chicken and a very small portion of meat, so I left an honest review with photos.

Shortly afterward, Nik Patel responded, apologized, acknowledged the mistake, and invited me to contact the manager, Killian, so they could make it right. I stopped back in today, and they absolutely did. My replacement meal was fresh, properly prepared, generously portioned, and exactly what I've come to expect from this location. More importantly, everyone was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about making things right.

Mistakes happen at every restaurant. What really matters is how a business responds, and this team handled it the right way. I truly appreciate the excellent customer service and the willingness to stand behind their food. Because of that, I'll continue coming back and would recommend giving them a try.“

“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!“

“Great restaurant very good portions of delicious food. Compared to other hibachi restaurant this is by far the best .our # 1 will be back for more.“

“Had the best experience dining here with coworkers. Jess was our server and was warm and welcoming, offering suggestions and pairings, and had the beat timing- we never felt rushed or interrupted. The martinis and crafted cocktails were as delicious as they were beautiful. Appetizers were delicious and the portion size was great- don't miss the brussel sprouts! Now the sushi... wow- creative and meticulously prepared rolls and sashimi with a menu that has something for everyone-- and the vegan options are incredible! Can't wait to come back. Thanks for a great night out and a. fantastic service experience.“
