18 Best Japanese Restaurants near Evergreen Park

“Good flavor and service. Kelab was so nice and friendly.“

“On Thursday, 5/30, my wife and I had dinner at the restaurant. Our favorite server, Rita, was assisting us. During our meal, we witnessed a front desk employee yelling at Rita and slamming his hands on the table, causing a significant disturbance that was noticeable to many patrons. Despite this unprofessional behavior, Rita maintained her composure and continued to provide exceptional service. Her professionalism and dedication to her customers were commendable. We will definitely return, thanks to Rita's outstanding service.“

“March 2025
Dined here for the first time. Place was packed on a Sunday night. Menu looked decent. Total spent $75 with tip.

4/5 stars overall on food
Ordered shoyu tonkatsu ramen, regular tonkatsu ramen, and one homura don to try the rice bowl. Appetizers gyoza and the age tofu.

The two appetizers were good, just enough portion wise to wet your appetite. Typical dumplings that you can buy in the frozen section but still tasty. The tofu lightly coated and fried sat on top of a slightly sweet soy based sauce.

The two ramen bowls were good size. However, everyone agreed that the broth in the shoyu bowl was tastier, 4 stars. 😋 The other one was bland 😒, according to the person who ordered it, but adding the chili oil helped, 3 stars. Bowls were mostly bamboo shoots, one piece of seaweed, 2 pieces of thinly sliced chashu pork belly plus half soft boiled egg. Approx $15 each.

As for the homura don, which was a ground pork rice bowl, this was the most disappointing, 2 stars, compared to other Japanese restaurants back home in Michigan, as well as the Taiwanese version, which is lots of ground pork drenched over rice with a sauce and pickled vegetables, which were nonexistent in this recipe.

For $8.99, this was basically a bowl of rice, with maybe a tablespoon of ground pork, sauce, green onions, plus half soft boiled egg. Also added a side of kimchi for a dollar. This was not what I expected. I would not order this again. Basically ate a bowl of rice for dinner with kimchi. The pork had no flavor and not even visible in this dish. 😢

5/5 stars on service and atmosphere
The waitstaff are all male and in observing all the busy tables plus ours, and a line waiting to be seated, they were on top of it. They filled water glasses, food came out fairly quickly, took care of people walking in...kudos to great service! 👏👏👏

The atmosphere is quite lively. The space comprised of some booth type seating, with a few tables to accommodate 4 to 6 people; and places for 1-2 guests available separated by a wood panel. Comfortable and easy for conversation.

We would go back and try a few other dishes to see how we like it, next time we visit Chicago.“

“Wow, amazing lunch, just amazing!❤️😃“

“If you are in Chicago and want to eat Wagyu Steak: This is definitely the correct place!
We enjoyed our visit in this restaurant our waitress supported us by grilling the food and we enjoyed the dinner. Unfortunately I forgot here name, but I will update the comment when I remember her name. She was really very helpful and with great patience as we not understood in the beginning the system.
So for my followers I will explain the process:
Basicly you have two tiers to select: Silver and Gold. The details of the tiers can give your waitress.
You order through a iPad and each person can order 6 different dishes. Be careful the time is limited on 2 hours.
I would suggest to go early to avoid any waiting times.
Enjoy your Wagyu 🤗“

“First time here with my son. We love it!! So fresh! Definitely coming back.“

“Went there around 4 for a late lunch and couldn’t have been happier with what I ordered. I tried the following rolls: yakuza, anaconda, spicy tuna, and Philadelphia. Each tasted super fresh, had delicious flavor, and was a great amount of food for the cost. Our waitress was very attentive and polite. I can’t believe I didn’t try this place sooner!!“

“The Xtra hot flavor on the chicken sandwich is blazing hot 🥵 but still full of flavour. Loved it.“

“Been here a few times now and got their sushi lunch special. Decent sushi at decent price. It's a small carry out with 2 booths. Not intentionally for dine in. They're always friendly and nice. Which is why I'll keep coming back. I liked that the lunch special comes with a big container of soy sauce and miso soup. As a matter of fact, I might stop by for some sushi today ?“

“the food here is exquisite, they put a lot of care into their preparation... And it makes for delicious dining.. I give this place five stars“

“We had the pleasure to eat here today and everything was GREAT. The atmosphere was nice and homey.They have some new customers. Thank you guys so much!“

“I really enjoy with with Matcha drink tonight“

“Joy Yee is an absolute gem for Asian cuisine! The menu is extensive, with everything from bubble tea to delicious noodle dishes. I loved the vibrant flavors and generous portions—perfect for sharing. The service was quick, and the food came out fresh and hot. It’s always busy, but worth the wait. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for authentic, tasty Asian food!“

“Food is fresh and excellent. I find it to be one of the best in the area. Non greasy, good flavor, service is ok, but when they attend to you, you have their undivided attention. I have been there a few times, and it does not vary. It is also very clean, with large tables and booths.“

“I BEEN TO THIS PLACE A FEW TIMES AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. I ALWAYS BUY THE CHICKEN TERIYAKI THE CHICKEN IS TENDER PLENTY OF RICE AND THE SAUCE IS DELICIOUS. YOU CAN ALWAYS REQUEST EXTRA SAUCE ONCE IT IS COOKED. THE SAUCE IS WHAT MAKES THIS MEAL. SOME OF THE CASHIERS ARE MORE FRIENDLIER THAN OTHERS. BUT I JUST ENJOY COMING TO THIS FAST FOOD JOINT IT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE USUAL BURGERS AND CHICKEN PLACES.

Vegetarian options: ASK AND U WILL RECEIVE“
