15 Best Japanese Restaurants near Darien

“Awesome service and the sushi lunch specials were great“

“man, i love tai san chef😙“

“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 was a pretty decent spot for ramen considering there are not a whole lot in the Lisle area. There is shared parking. They have a decent amount of seating, I don’t think they get super busy. They also have a special Chinese menu so I guess this is a good Chinese and Japanese place. I’ll have to return to try their Chinese dishes. We ordered gyoza, kaarage shoyu ramen, and tonkotsu ramen. The broths were well seasoned. The kaarage chicken was very juicy in the middle and crispy on the outside. The chashu was very tender and little chew. Gyozas were tasty. They had a nice crunch to them. Service was okay, not much of a service. Prices were good.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“After 12+ years of coming here, I can confidently say this place is special. The food is incredible every single time, the service is warm and friendly, and the owners are amazing people—so kind and truly appreciative of their customers. Places like this are rare, and it’s why I keep coming back year after year.“

“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.“

“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“
