46 Best Japanese Restaurants near Elk Grove Village

“I'm from California and I'm a big fan of Sushi. I've eaten expensive sushi, cheap sushi, all-you-can-eat sushi, all sorts of sushi, and Tekka Sushi just got it right for a price that's actually not expensive, but also not cheap at the same time. The ingredients are high quality ingredients with amazing taste. I would recommend this place to friends and family 100%. Excellent high quality place.“

“Always a dining experience for my tastebuds. The service, the food, the ambience. You couldn’t ask for more. The sushi rice is, hands down, the best we’ve ever had. Questions answered, recommendations given, new adventures with unknown cuisine. This is our go to for the authentic taste of Japan.“

“Some of the best sushi I have had anywhere.

Edit: 1 year later and it was even better than my last time. The fish is incredible and the chefs know exactly what they are doing. Fantastic flavor combinations and one of the rare places they actually put some wasabi under the fish on nigiri- no soy, ginger, or wasabi needs to be added. Definitely give it a go.“

“FIRST SUSHI EVER and I’m so happy it was here where I had it. The staff was so friendly and even helped my mom, who is not well versed in the art of chopsticks, by getting her a fork. The food was so beautiful and delicious and the atmosphere was perfect for a quaint family meal. 10/10 would recommend!!!“

“Wow, just wow. We went last Friday night before we realized they were an all you can eat place. Unlike other all you can eat sushi bars, the quality was top notch. Everything we had was fantastic quality. We enjoyed it so much we went back again on Saturday night. Next time we're in the area, we'll have to stop by again.“

“豐富美味價格合宜，算是道地日本拉麵。服務很好，工作人員很友善！“

“Very nice, hardworking staff and delicious food! Love this place and highly recommend!! 😋👍“

“Delicious poke bowl! Fast delivery!“

“I ordered takeout from here because I saw it was a local place and it did not disappoint! I tried the lobster roll, and it was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The portion size was generous, and getting three rolls for just $25 felt like an incredible deal. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“the food is yummy / authentic japanese ! the service is great ,“

“We wanted to try a new place tonight and this was perfect! The food was amazing, the service was great! Even my picky son loooved his ramen and he usually never drinks like soup or broth and he literally drinking the bowl. Definitely will be back!“

“Great food. Excellent friendly service.“

“Folks, this is the real deal. All the food was great. I'm pretty sure the chef is Japanese. I say so because they have authentic items like Nira Tama and Kampyou Maki (both fabulous, by the way) that you won't see on the menu at other places. They also had Iichiko (wheat shouchu (think vodka)), and they were happy to make me an oolong wari. Loved it!“

“This unassuming sushi restaurant offers incredible sushi and exceptional service.I always feel welcomed by friendly faces. The servers are highly attentive, noticing when drinks are running low or when plates are finished.The restaurant itself is casual and small, but offers a cozy environment for a meal in small groups.There is a nice variety of appetizers. I love the asparagus beef roll, it’s without a doubt the best asparagus negimaki I’ve ever had.The sushi is high quality and fairly priced. Itamae diligently prepare the sushi from a small counter in the center of the restaurant, welcoming and thanking diners as they enter and leave.The menu offers a wide variety of maki, from simple California rolls to complex creations like the Sato roll. I keep coming back for the sweet potato roll, with immense flavor despite simplicity, and the delicious spicy tuna crunch roll. These rolls are edible works of art.Asahi is simply the best.“

“This was a great little surprise date night spot. Not a huge menu but everything they had on the menu was fresh and great. The owner served us and she was a gear host

We dined in on a week night

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space for kids“

“perfect foods...great decorations.. nice price...“

“Royce chocolate and cookies is located inside of mitsuwa along with several high end vendors and shops. Royce doesn't disappoint. Paris was extremely helpful and went over all of the offerings that Royce had. I ended up getting the variety pack because I couldn't make up mind. Great gifts for the adventurous tongue and even for someone with a sweet tooth. The have adorable pink gift bags to make it for a quick pick up. I absolutely recommend the fromage blanc chips, they are delicious and daring at the same time!“

“First time going here was amazing, staff was great and very respectful, and don’t even get me started on the ramen, everything about it was amazing from the taste to the look. But yeah honestly great place to grab ramen.“

“Spicy miso Ramen, so good“

“They always have the best service here. My wife and I have been coming here for nearly a decade now and we have never had a bad experience. They are always very accommodating and help my wife who is Vegan. Hanabi is the best.“

“Love this place. Very fresh sushi!“

“Warm, cozy, and slightly upscale. The izakaya has karaoke rooms available for rent, but the vibe of the place is great for ordering a few beers, some karaage, and whatever's on special (check their Instagram).Don't forget to bring something to read. They use great coffee beans and have good pour over technique if you get a cup of coffee to cap your meal.Haven't checked out any of the live Jazz or classical music but it sounds interesting!“

“Good food for a great price. Service was fine, not friendly, not rude, but very quick and competent.
Trust me on this, get the noodles, oh yes yummy. And add veggies, very satisfying. Hubs agrees.
I was happily surprised by the amount of well made food for the price. And made quickly.“

“Really cute Japanese place close to the airport, our actual plan was to get Halal pizza from Girodano’s but had to change our plans and the wife picked this place at a walking distance.

Her favourite thing was the “spicy fire” appetiser, which is made with cream cheese, jalapeno and salmon. We also had the spicy ramen noodle soup and the yakisoba (another noodle dish but stir fry).

Cozy ambiance inside and the service is really good too. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to have sth asian“

“Overall food was really good. Some apps not worth it for portion size/taste. Sushi was good but a bit lackluster. For this vibe and place of "chicagos first sushi" i was expecting a bit more flavor/presentation but still tasty. Drinka were good but thw bottles of sake seemed way overpriced. Service was great too. A little disappointed that i had included that we were celebrating a birthday and our table candle wasn't lit and no treat or little dessert was offered for the birthday person at this type of restaurant.“

“First time going here was amazing, staff was great and very respectful, and don’t even get me started on the ramen, everything about it was amazing from the taste to the look. But yeah honestly great place to grab ramen.“

“I took a few moments of respite from my quest to be a great person to go to this great Japanese-influenced food place.
The meal I had was very good and inexpensive. It was a very good ramen. There were also good fried ingredients, the fried egg was crazy as the young people who are hungry for crazy things say. However I give 0/20 to the fried fish.
But I still give 19/20 to the whole meal which was super banger.
The only downside and one point less is that there is clearly no place to eat your super yum meal: "(please think about putting more chairs or tables or benches or anything (not a suitcase or a mini pistachio, neither of these would be useful in this situation)

Banco for this place yum.
Goodbye UwU

Vegetarian options: Rice and miso“

“Fresh, Fresh, Fresh Seafoods! Great Service! Tasty foods.“

“We've gotten take-out three times now and the food is consistently hot and delicious, and prepared very quickly. Staff is friendly over the phone and at the front desk. We have closer options for Japanese food but Umai is SO worth the drive! Highly recommend!“

“They had yakitori, which I tried. I ordered the chicken thigh, pork belly, and sausage. Everything is cooked to perfection and smells good from the charcoal fire. The pork belly is my favorite because of the fat, the meat was crispy and tender. I ordered the karaage don (mayo & poached egg) as my main course. I believe the teriyaki sauce was overdone. As a result, the chicken lost its crunch.“

“We love this place and we will going to miss it“

“High quality, super delish sushi! You are missing out on something if you won't try the place!
The service is super kind and attentive.
The place is located in the corner of a little mall and parking is available right in front of it.“

“Love, love, love this place! After a long time, Teriyaki Madness has finally reopened! Long thought to be gone for good they opened just this past weekend and the food is just as good as ever.

Fresh, hot and hella delicious. Can't recommend the Spicy Chicken bowl with rice n veggies enough, and be sure to try the chicken potstickers.

The staff were nice and friendly and the restaurant clean and in good order. Be sure to stop by if you are in the area!“

“Very good quality fish. great service“

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

“Best sushi in Schaumburg! Fresh and delicious, as well as innovative rolls! The new owners are doing a great job holding Joe’s standard.“

“Food was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“Parking: There is a parking garage directly under the restaurant, taking the elevator up brings you right next to the patio. There were plenty of parking spots.

Wheelchair accessibility: The two sets of doors into the restaurant are not automatic, but the restaurant is very wheelchair accessible otherwise, and parking in the garage below, you're able to take an elevator up easily.“

“Ordering through this restaurant is an introvert's dream. You mainly order through a kiosk and I was able to customize my order to my liking. Looking back, I wish I had added more curry to my dish.I got the chicken katsu curry w/ extra rice, 10 gyoza on the side to share and a water bottle. Food was fantastic and I actually took home leftovers, (which were fantastic leftovers btw). I spent about 30 bucks on my food, however you're near Chicago, so what do you expect?Others complained about wait time, however I came with a group of people, so it worked out as I was able to locate a table while I waited for my food. The kiosk also asked for my phone number so to text me with my order number and to tell me when it was ready.“

“We had the pleasure of being served by Jason — he ROCKS! He was attentive, made sure that my bf’s peanut allergy was taken care of, and overall an amazing server! Food was delicious as always. All staff are fabulous. My favorite sushi place!“

“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.“

“amazing all you can eat wagyu and snow crab shabushabu!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious! This is a gem of a place that I would go back to time and time again if I lived in the area. Fish is flown in from Japan and the chef has worked in restaurants all over the world. Everything we ordered was fantastic- highly recommend!“
