“Awesome service and the sushi lunch specials were great“

“man, i love tai san chef😙“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food and service“

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

“Our family has been coming to Fuji to celebrate special life events for 30+ years! We love that every visit is consistently delicious and that the quality has remained amazing.

Tonight, we came in just a half hour before close because it was the only day/time we could meet as a family. The owner graciously invited us in and told us to take our time and enjoy ourselves. Everyone made us feel welcome and it was a tasty celebration. Thank you to all!“

“I was blown away at how great this place is. Everything they served came feeling very fresh and excellent in quality, there was nothing negative that could be said about the food if I tried. They even brought out the sushi out on a fancy boat plate. All in all I highly recommend this place and plan on coming back whenever I'm craving good sushi or the other things on the menu.“

“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.“

“We recently visited for my bday on 5/31. The decor is beautiful and the service was stellar! Everyone was attentive and friendly. Our hibachi chef was amazing. He was extremely entertaining and super accommodating. He made our hibachi dinner experience the best we have ever had. The food was perfect and great portion sizes. My son even ordered Spider rolls and said they were amazing! My two teens and 1yr old enjoyed it immensely! Thank you all for the great celebration. We will be back for sure!!! Highly recommend to all!!“
