“I had just left a review somewhere else about how I've never had a restaurant that served both ramen and sushi where the ramen was actually decent, but there's a first time for everything, right?The restaurant itself is quaint, but comfortable and has a nice ambience. I sat right in front of the sushi making area so I had a nice little show while I ate. The server was nice and took my order quickly and checked in on me enough.I had ordered both a miso ramen and a couple pieces of tamago nigiri. Funny enough, while my usual complaint is the ramen at a sushi restaurant, today it's more of a small complaint about the sushi! The sushi itself didn't taste bad at all. It was well-made, in fact. My only "complaint" was that the tamago was still very cold from the fridge, but still really tasty. It didn't affect my overall experience.The ramen was great and the presentation was really nice. I'm really fond of miso ramen in general and they made it really well here.Noodles: The noodles are thinner, springy, and chewy. They were pleasant to eat and tasted amazing. They had a nice neutral taste that went well with the broth.Broth: The broth was rich and savory and had a good miso flavor. It was served perfectly hot.Toppings: The pork tasted like it was marinated well and was nicely braised. The egg wasn't marinated in anything and was a plain soft boiled egg. The bamboo shoots also tasted good on their own. I also enjoyed the corn last in the broth. Everything worked well both separately and together.Overall, I was very pleased with Lili Sushi & Ramen! I'll definitely be coming back to enjoy the other bowls of ramen offered here!Vegetarian options: They have vegetable ramen“
“Last time I had sushi was well over 15 years ago. Times change, appetite, and eating habits change so here I am. My wife enjoys sushi and has been here a few times and enjoys their rolls. I do enjoy food in the teriyaki family and I get this fix at a few other restaurants in town. The interior of the restaurant is inviting and it was strange being back in the former Peapod restaurant location. We ordered the crab ragoon, gyoza, chicken teriyaki roll, scorpion roll, Godzilla roll, and the beef teriyaki entree. Both appetizers were good but pretty standard. I tried a few rolls and it's still not for me. I believe the seaweed wrap is what I don't like. The filling is good though. My wife enjoyed every bite of it. The beef teriyaki comes with salad, rice, and miso soup. I don't particularly like miso soup but this one was slightly different in a good way. I enjoyed the simple salad as well. Now when I ordered the beef I wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked which is not unusual. When I received the beef it was too blue in my opinion. I'll eat beef anyway outside of raw but typically I like my beef medium. The sauce and vegetables were good and I still ate the beef. For drinks I stuck with water but my wife had a mango smoothie that was quite tasty. The employees were attentive and definitely hustling so I appreciate that. I would go back and get the chicken teriyaki (hopefully it's not pink) and let my wife enjoy the sushi rolls. 4 stars because everyone I know that has come here for the sushi raves about it.“
“We ordered sushi for take out from here on a whim (after our regular place turned out so busy on Good Friday that they disconnected their phone and turned off online ordering). They have a great selection of maki, both basics and specialty rolls at very fair prices. Edamame was piping hot when we got it home. We found a nice surprise in our order - they had included 2 ice cream desserts with a hand written note to have a good night on the box. Really sweet touch. Everything was fresh and yummy - I also feel like the specialty roll portions were very sizeable. Will definitely come back again to try some of the bento meals and udon noodles! Thanks :)“
“We ordered sushi here for the first time today but it certainly won’t be the last! The ingredients were fresh, the texture of each roll was perfect, and the service was quick and friendly. I seriously can’t recommend Zen’s enough!Parking: Parking is convenient! There’s almost always a spot right in front.“
“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!“
“Good food excellent service.My girlfriend says she really likes the music that they are always playing. I like that the staff is very attentive and the food is always good. The prices are very reasonable.Vegetarian options: It's possible to eat vegan or vegetarian here but you may want to check the menu for yourself before you go“

“This place is legit. We came here for the Korean Sashimi experience. I wasn't expecting much since this place is in a pretty unassuming strip mall but the quality of the fish is what did it for me. I believe the owner buys an entire tuna and expertly slices different parts himself. I had the best tasting sashimi here. And as much fish as I have had in my life I found myself asking the waitress what part of the tuna I was eating. First time trying Tuna jaw meat and it was astounding. The amount of toro grade tuna that was served amazed me. Service was a bit slow but with high quality fresh fish that they serve all was forgiven. 5 stars all the way.“
“This has quickly become my 'go to' place for sushi. I've had quite a variety of their rolls, and everything was quite good! In-person dining is best described as intimate owing to the small size of the restaurant. If you're claustrophobic, this might be off putting. Seems clean; a bit heavy on dark wood. Service was efficient, though the woman that served our table during my first visit seemed overwhelmed (I believe she was the sole server). Poor thing! My preference is to order for takeout so I can pig out in private at home. If you love the spicy kick of wasabi as I do, don't hesitate to ask for extra--they'll readily compliment your order with more. Overall, good quality sushi in terms of sizes of the rolls and taste, at price points that won't cause considerable angst. I can, and do, recommend Abishari with great ease.“
“Hidden Gem… my sister, daughter and I were out shopping when we drove past this restaurant. Everyone was so welcoming and accommodating. Everything was delicious and amazingly prepared. This place was a 10/10 and we can’t wait to return.“
“Service and atmosphere was nice. Sushi was tasty. I liked the volcano. I also enjoyed the appetizers. I tried the Misso soup, the calamari and the veggies roles. They also have individual sushi pieces which I wish I noticed them first before I order the other stuff. It is very very price. I paid rounded 41 dollars just for my self. 28 rounded all you can eat which is 27 something dollars plus a drink. I order tea and tip. Taxes were rounded 4 dollars. 40 for 1 person al you can eat buffet too expensive. Some sushi was no real sushi but it was tasty.“
“The only negative thing I will say about it is the music was turned up a little too loud.Aside from that, everything we had was incredible. Our 8 year old daughter inhaled her chicken gyoza & chicken teriyaki rolls. We ordered the King Lobster, Mango Tango, Boston & Philadelphia rolls and they were all delicious. Will definitely remember this place the next time we're here from WI.“

“Great food & amazing service! My coworkers go regularly for lunch & I joined them for the first time last week. Went again today with my family & the waitress even remembered my order. She is so kind! She went above & beyond & took the initiative to hold the door for my elderly mother & help her both going in & leaving while I parked the car & brought it around.“
“While it's a wee little place that often isn't crowded, the staff is on the ball and the food is better than you might expect. They do a serious take out business for a reason and their prices are reasonable especially for the fresh food.“
“My new favorite sushi place! The service is super kind and welcoming. They have such a wide variety of sushi as well as other dishes- all at an incredibly fair price! We ordered a few appetizers, rolls, and nigiri. Everything was so tasty and fresh! And even came out quickly!“
“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.“
“I'm delighted with this place, I was passing by and stopped in for dinner. Very tasty rolls names “Best west “ and sushi eel and salmon, the fish is very fresh. I would definitely come back here, price plus quality, decent friendly staff, and plus it’s very tasty. cozy atmosphere, music playing ♥️ ?“
“Let's start with the service and the atmosphere. When you enter, the atmosphere is warm, relaxed, the employees are cordial and attentive. We continue with the food, the Suschi is incredible from the presentation to the flavor, my taste buds exploded when I felt the exquisite mix of flavors.“
“Beautiful dining room with a unique raised floor with glass covering the sand.Sushi was ok. Lots of items but all very similar. Expensive!The entry does not have a vestibule and we were blasted with cold air each time the door opened.Server Noe was friendly and efficient“
“the food here is amazing!! they made an adjustment for me because i'm a vegetarian and made tofu in a dish served with meat. i also ordered a lot of things spicy and they did not fail! super quick & sweet people. i will be coming back“
“The food was really great, huge portions for a good price. We did have to wait a while even though we had a reservation. It felt a little chaotic, but we did have 12 in our party, so probably that was the reason. They are super busy, give them a lot of credit handling so many in a small space. I do plan to go back, maybe takeout, though.“
“Lu’s was recommended and we couldn’t be more pleased. A great choice and nothing disappointed. Crab Rangoon was delicious, pot stickers were dense and fill of flavor and the Mongolian beef simply the best I have ever had. There was a sweetness to the gravy and I can’t wait to have leftovers today.“
“I ordered a bowl for pickup through their website. I chose crab sticks for my main protein. Extra $1 each to add avocado and crabstick salad. It was delicious and the sushi rice was hot. Bowl was ready at their estimated time. My only complaint is that they forgot 3 of the ingredients that were written on the receipt: pineapple, mango, sweet onion. There was no extra charge for these so I wasn't too upset about it but forgetting 3 items in the bowl is kind of a lot. Next time I'll order there inside the restaurant.“
“Every single thing we ordered was delicious and nothing was left uneaten! From the crab Rangoon, to the chicken friend rice and all 6 sushi rolls- it was delicious! A great atmosphere from the moment you arrived. Love the warm towels and nice chopsticks! Definitely recommend and kid friendly for how nice it is!“
“Absolutely out of his ?! Best Sushi I've ever had... The service is absolutely wonderfu!!!. This restaurant has a very homey vibe and the staff is very welcoming. They have the Christmas spirit, well decorated and I can't hardly wait to come back! A+++++Kid-friendliness: Super patient with my 6yr old daughter with tons of curious questions. I can't speak enough about the outstanding service and welcoming atmosphere!“
“I would give this 10 stars if I could - The best sushi in the western suburbs! The quality is always AMAZING and the service while dining in is also incredible. The prices are so good for the quality of rolls. Some of our favorites are the Godzilla, XMas, Cubs, Ogden Ave.“
“This is a revolving sushi bar where you pull your sushi off a conveyor belt. It's fun to see all the different types go past, and I'd say the novelty is the main reason to eat here. The sushi is fine; not the best I've had but not the worst either. The atmosphere is pretty lively/noisy.I've now eaten here twice and I found the sushi better the second time than the first (last summer). I could not tell you what I had the first time, but the second I had two types of eel (both delicious), salmon (fine), and inari/fried tofu (so-so). Do be careful because the plates can add up quick.“
“OMG best little place in carol steam, I'm here Sunday night no one is here and I am wondering why, I had a drink called sunshine, it's pineapple, orange, strawberry juices is delicious. I had crab legs, corn, potato, eggs, salad came with meal, the dressing on salad was very different but soft and delicate, the crab was very clean, sweet and plenty. ordered the cajin house, mild still had a kick of spice but perfect.If I could give this place a 10 star it would get an 11. Fabulous delightful very quiet, server's was not a pest, but cleaned up right away. I still don't know why it's not packed. This is a must go to if your in carol stream IllinoisParking: Plenty of pull in spotsKid-friendliness: Tv, kids menue“
“Excited to have a quick date night at the new ramen spot! The lights were warm and just right. They clearly figured out a way to dim their lights (or turn off some of them). The ramen was delicious! The broth was creamy and seasoned well. Definitely not watery or bland as previous reviews suggested. Must have tweaked the recipes. Ramen typically isn't like Pho with a lot of broth. After the ramen, we were actually pretty full. We each also got a roll and an appetizer and struggled to finish everything! My rainbow roll was fresh and done well. My Caucasian husband liked his Wheaton roll. The tuna appetizer had a nice bite to it from a slight sear. Servers were very nice and attentive. We had a great time!“
“I want to give an excellent review of the restaurant. The sushi menu is on another level. I have eaten at different sushi restaurants, even with native Asian owners, and I think this restaurant exceeds all my expectations. Every time I go, I try a new dish, and I am satisfied with my choice. The service is unique, and the atmosphere is calm, relaxed, and welcoming. a 10/10.“
“we to this restaurant for my birthday and the food was great we liked it because they have sushi and Asian and Thai dishes my grandsons were with and they also had a kids menu.My husband had chicken fried rice , I had double fried noodles that had a very good sauce and my daughter sushi that she said was also fresh and very good . I had a drink with dinner the waitress recommended that was a mangoitini that was great , the good was very good the service was really good and we liked the look of the restaurant.I would definitely be eating there again a lot of different dishes to choose from and nice atmosphere.We also had appetizers that was calamari and crab Rangoon the calamari was very tender and the kids and adults enjoyed tge crab Rangoon.“
“Our post Valentine's dinner. Gregorio was entertaining. I had the steak and scallops, both delicious and well seasoned. My hubby had the steak and lobster. Come hungry when coming to a hibachi dinner, as the rest of it is taken to go.“
“I often remind myself to avoid rushing to judgment based on first impressions. This mantra proved valuable during my recent visit to Kona Grill, booked via OpenTable—an app that rarely lets me down. The online photographs of the restaurant were promising, though they offered little insight into the ambiance.Upon arrival, I noted the setting was more casual than anticipated, but the warm welcome from my server, Paige, convinced me to stay. Paige was knowledgeable and attentive, expertly guiding me through the menu. She recommended the Ribeye Meatballs—a succulent combination of shallots, shiitake mushrooms, macadamia nuts, a chili glaze, and a creamy peppercorn sauce. The dish was an unexpected delight.Encouraged by Paige's impeccable taste, I also tried the Sweet-Chili Glazed Salmon served over fried rice. The pairing was innovative and flavorful, challenging traditional plating methods with its bold textures and tastes.I concluded the meal with a cappuccino, which arrived charmingly accompanied by a rock candy stirrer—a whimsical touch that rounded off the dining experience pleasantly.A heartfelt thanks to both Paige and Mario, the General Manager, for their exceptional hospitality that transformed a simple meal into a memorable culinary adventure.#chicago #foodie #restaurant #hiddengems #oakbrook #Illinois — at Kona Grill.“

I'll be going back every time I'm in the area :)Vegetarian options: Vegetable nigiri, miso soup, tempura veggies were all delicious and I'm tempted to drive the 2 hours just so I can have more tonight!“
“My family enjoys visit this place, the torched dragon is the best overall, we order tempura, miso soup, karaage, chicken nuggets, gyoza, and salmon sushi. A pro tip, because is so good place, during weekends will be full of customers so you can eat Mongolian bbq waiting for the sushi order. The people is so friendly and kids have fun with the robot bringing the food too.“
“Hidden gem located in the suburb area. Friendly staffs, clean and comfortable seating restaurant with decent size menu. Reasonable price with the portions. Foods arrived pretty quick. Plain Egg noodles soup was on point with light broth, the egg noodles were perfectly cooked. Tender beef in flavorful black pepper sauce, peatips sprouts and water spinach were delicious in light flavor with garlic. Beef Chow fun was good not overly oily. Overall we enjoyed our quiet dinner. We can’t wait to return .“
“Great food at great prices. I ordered the beef bibimbap (forgot what it was called on the menu) and it was honestly the best I've ever had. Our server, Mary, was frequently checking in to see if we needed anything. We will definitely be back!“
“I cannot rave enough about Kinta Sushi. I have been a patron for over 15 years and no matter where I've moved around I'll make the drive to get there! Dining in is always a great experience. The most friendly staff I have ever encountered. The quality of sushi is always top tier and the price matches. Dining in is always comfortable and clean. Presentation is nice and a fair mix of traditional and modern twists. I also frequently pick up to go and they have never missed a thing in my orders. Not only that but they always label the containers which I appreciate so much. My go to order always includes the stuffed mushrooms. And I've always been a big fan of the green bay roll! Their sashimi always impresses me as well. I am just a very satisfied and happy long time customer and I will be as long as they are in operation.“
