Japanese Restaurants near Clarendon Hills

“We stumbled upon this gem leaving the doctors office in the area. We seen the menu online and were very much intrigued. We decided to come check it out. The restaurant was a great ambiance, clean, the staff was friendly and welcoming. Now lets get to the good part the food... We had the combination rice Thai style, crab rangoons, egg rolls, and also the General Tso Chicken , followed by some of the signature rolls. OMG DELICIOUS. The taste of everything was so good, fresh, hot and so good. We loved everything brought to the table. We found a new spot to visit for sure. Highly recommend the food.“

“Wow, backwards AND forwards! Recommended by our AirBnB host Brad in Villa Park, a short drive, and we were greeted upon arrival by a no-nonsense oriental man who seated us immediately. The menu for All You Can Eat Sushi was bigger and better than expected, including appetizers; we chose jalapeno poppers aced Miso soup; and the quality was superb. Flavor was very fresh, place is beautiful, got stuffed (seldom happens with sushi)... can't wait to go back!“

“Great service, fantastic food, and I had a great time with my cousin there. The server was so helpful in explaining their combos and allowing us all the food combinations we wanted in a simplified manner. The boba smoothie was Devine too!“

“Delicious poke bowl! Fast delivery!“

“This is absolutely a one of a kind experience! My mother and I did the “Decadent Omakase” as it was our first visit. Lee, our waiter was amazing. All of the staff that helped us were so informative and kind! The flavor in each selection was beyond this world. It was pricey but worth every single penny. I have never had a better experience in my life. The Omakase was EIGHT COURSES. Every one being perfectly curated. I cannot wait to go back.“

“Had a great experience here. The sushi rolls were really good—fresh, flavorful, and put together well (the kind where every bite tastes intentional, not sloppy or overloaded).

What really made the night, though, was our waitress. She was kind, fun, and genuinely made us feel welcome without being over the top. Service was quick, drinks stayed filled, and she had the perfect vibe for a relaxed dinner.

Definitely a solid spot for good rolls and friendly service—I’d come back.“

“The wait staff was excellent and if I remember correctly we had Gary as our waiter!! Quick and friendly! Wonderful food! Amazing drinks🥃“

“Great food and service. Large menu to choose from. Will be back.“

“Amazing food and service“

“first time here last night for dinner and certainly not my last time. I love downtown Lagrange. my Friend and I were so lucky to find this gem of a restaurant.“

“Awesome service and the sushi lunch specials were great“

“I love this place! The food is always fresh and delicious. I'm not able to frequent this spot in person like I used so I order through Uber Eats and they do such a great Job at packaging your food safely and they always listen to the notes section. 5/5 Would recommend“

“Love the North Riverside location they’re always delicious and the customer service is friendly and welcoming to say the least.“

“Always yummy !!! Love their salad, sushi, ramen and sake especially.“

“its so good and many to choose from. This would be a good place to go eat especially on date night.“

“I’ve seen there place my whole life and never went till today. It was really good and had awesome staff. Sushi 10/10 will come again.“

“My husband and I recently discovered this gem!!! We don't live in Glen Ellyn and we started coming in July and have already been back 8 times! The fish is the freshest, the rolls/sashimi beyond delicious, the service and all the staff are always so nice and thoughtful. we can't wait to reserve their private seating floor room soon too. Highly recommend.“

“Just ordered BNK today for carryout and was so pleased with the portion sizes and the food was so fresh and made to order! I'll be back!“

“Delicious! I went to dinner out with my son for the first time in this place and I recommend it ! Good sushi, cozy place and nice service!!“

“Sushi is no longer served here which surprised me but instead I chose a teriyaki shrimp lunch meal which was excellent. I also LOVED the golden shrimp and will be back for that!!! My food was hot with decent portions, and the lemonade tasted freshly-made and tart. I think she may have used pure ingredients as I watched her make a pitcher at the bar area. I also liked the music which surprised me- 90's R&B slow jams. Super chill and quiet atmosphere here with interesting and unique decor throughout.“

“My food was very yummy, the staff and service was also top notch!“

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

“I find some of the low reviews here baffling. I think some people may be confusing this restaurant with other Chinese restaurants due to its rather non descript name. Make no mistake, the food here is excellent and punches way above its price point.Coming in the first time I was pessimistic. It seemed your standard pre prepared food menu ready to dish out quickly to the lunch crowd panda express style. I quickly became a huge fan after eating large well prepared portions I would expect from a normal sit down restaurant. Yes it's your standard generic fare but made so much better.Great food, great price. Appreciate these places, the owners care about making something good.“

“good quality sushi, friendly service and a great value“

“My husband and I have been coming for years ! The sushi is fantastic and our server Tami is amazing!! We request her every time. She already knows our favorite items and is always there to help with a smile. PS The Tuna dumplings are a must have !“

“This place is such a wonderful dining spot for a girls’ night out! From the moment we walked in, our waitress greeted us with such genuine delight. She was warm, friendly, and set such a positive tone for the evening.

Then came Carlos, who completely elevated our experience. He was attentive, understanding, and incredibly talented. I can be pretty particular with food, and when I told him exactly how I like my salmon, he went above and beyond. The result was even better than I expected! The flavors were perfect, the presentation was beautiful, and his service was outstanding from start to finish.

Between the amazing food, the welcoming atmosphere, and the exceptional service from both our waitress and Carlos, we felt so comfortable and well taken care of. This spot is definitely a must-visit if you want great food and even greater service!“

“Food was great- ordered a few combos and they were wonderful. Drink menu was fab and the bartender and server deserve some extra credit. Our table was the furthest from the bar and we ordered 2 rounds of martinis. They filled those martinis to the top- and I mean the top. The server walked all the way from the bar (slowly) and did not spill a single drop. We were more than impressed! Love a full martini glass!“

“man, i love tai san chef😙“

“It's amazing! I live in Illinois and I still wish it could be closer!“

“todo muy bien es la 2 vez que venimos en menos de 1 año . nos encantó“

“I have lived out in the western suburbs for 20 years but finally went here last night. This place will definitely be on my short list of places to frequent. Great food, great service, great value!!“

“We've come to Sushi Time enough times that the owner knows my son by name and his order. (I'm actually surprised it took me this long to review!) Sally and Mike are wonderful people who go above and beyond in customer service. Be it chatting with my son, cutting up the maki rolls into smaller pieces for him, or remembering GF soy sauce - I'm always so impressed. While my son and I indulge in the rolls, my husband has shown me their menu is extensive and includes other delicious meals including the fried rice, crab rangoons, and chicken katsu. Keep doing what you're doing! We always enjoy our lunch visits.“

“Love this place. Best we've had in a long time. Fresh and yummy.“

“Every time we come here we always have a good time! The service is always amazing, the food is also amazing.
We always come here for lunch and the lunch special for chicken is 12.99$ and that includes salad and soup. This place also doesn't up-charge for fried rice!
Overall, this place is my go-to for lunch. A cheap but great meal with a great hibachi performance!“

“So I don't know about the negative reviews but when order on the phone got the chow main and orange chicken and dinner special it was really good fresh and they where super nice before closing they let me use the bathroom and it was clean . I will be coming here again thank you and have a goodnight.“
