The best place around where you can get high-quality authentic Japanese dishes.
You can enjoy so many kind of side dishes for your drinks at dinner time.
My recommendation is Chirashi Sushi at lunch time with full of different kind of sashimi for $15-16.
It's a real bargain.
Their Katsu Curry is also good.

I love it here. The food and service is incredible.. lunch is extra special awesome. It's packed for a reason
This hidden gem had some excellent Japanese food. I had the curry katsu and was not disappointed. Only a few miles south of Mitsua, so if you don't want those crazy lines, try this place out!

Kurumaya is literally the best Japanese restaurant we got. The staff is great and the prices can't be beat. Have had most fried items to all the way across the sushi menu, not a single bad item. "Never had a bad time there." Please stay open forever Kurumaya.

First visit and it won't be the last! We loved it. Started off with delicious warm green tea, we ordered the gyoza and croquet, both delicious. We had the Tonkatsu and Ten Zaru Soba and a warm saki. It was so authentically japanese and we were very happy with the food portion, quality and price. Highly recommend a visit!

The food is not heavy or oily, always fresh, the sides pairs well with each set, it cleanses the palate, and it encourages you to keep eating the next bite. The price is fair considered to the amount of food on your plate. They have a different special lunch menu everyday, whenever they have kakiage udon I try to order it, and they allow me order it separately even though it's only part of the special set lunch menu.
Very warm and home-y feel to the place. The food is consistently always delicious. Everyone greets you with a smile. I've come here enough that they know my order, and all the waitresses stop by to greet me; they make you feel special and important. It's not just the food that makes me keep coming back--it's the people.

Best Substitute for going to Tokyo
After my trip to Japan I've been craving tonkatsu and curry and this is likely the only place I've found that has it. Absolutely delicious.

I stopped at Kurumaya for dinner while visiting the area. The atmosphere here is okay enough (sort of a small, subdued, family-style diner mixed with an old-school pizza hut vibe), but not really what I expected based on some other reviews (I'd check it out by yourself first before you decide to bring a date here). Anyhow, I started off with the eel omelette. It was alright, but it didn't have that Japanese-style egg texture I was expecting. Next, I had the teriyaki salmon entree. I was expecting salmon, rice, salad, and miso soup (based on what the menu said). But, my entree also came with some mayonnaise-drenched noodles and a mayonnaise-potato medallion thing. I found these two additional sides to be inedible, but I'm admittedly not much of a mayo guy. Someone who loves mayo would probably feel differently. The salad was okay. The miso soup, not so much. There was so little flavor that it was like having a bowl of plain warm water. The rice was fine. So was the salmon. It was different than other teriyaki salmon I've eaten elsewhere, but definitely decent. And the food portions were certainly good for the money. The service was decent as well. A little bit of a language barrier, but whatever (not a big deal). If you're looking for an inexpensive Japanese meal in Elk Grove Village, Kurumaya could be a good option for you.
