Ordered takeout from Nobori for an outing. Nothing fancy, just California Rolls, spicy tuna, and shrimp tempura rolls. All were excellent. Very tasty and fresh. I ordered during a busy dinner time and they still were ready very quick. I will be back to try the harder to make items.... Five stars.

Outstanding. An extremely authentic Japanese restaurant.

The inside is ok, but the bathrooms smell like a musty old basement. We prefer to pick up. The food is always FANTASTIC. We take many people here to show them REAL SUSHI. DELICIOUS. DELISH. YUM.

My wife and I had dined here once several years back and this was our first post-COVID visit. The place is located in a small strip center near a Taco Bell and a Culvers, so unless you're looking for it, chances are small that you'll just stumble in, but I can tell you now that you will not find better, fresher and more masterfully-prepared sushi/sashimi and related foods anywhere in the area. We've lived in NYC, LA, Chicago and Portland, OR and have eaten Japanese food both on our own and with friends of Japanese descent, so while we're not experts, we have been able to visit a number of highly-recommended places and while this place is not "fancy", the owner/chef is very talented and dedicated to his craft. For this lunch visit, we took advantage of the mix and match aspects of the lunch menu. Splitting a Kirin Ichiban (just enough for lunch), we ordered a mix of foods that included: a shrimp shumai appetizer, a seaweed/cucumber salad, a grilled tofu steak marinated and basted in butter and soy, an eel and cucumber roll (6pcs) and four pcs of sushi - white tuna, salmon, mackerel and tamago (sweet egg). After whetting our appetites on two small green salads with that ginger dressing we all love, the rest of the food arrived pretty quickly thereafter (being around 2pm, the place was not very busy). We shared everything so we could taste everything, and everything we tasted was just about perfect. Fresh, creamy, flavorful - just what you want. The sauce that the tofu steak was cooked in was just incredible - I poured the left-overs on top of my rice for a bonus treat! I had a question about how something was prepared and the owner was more than happy and forthcoming to share the info - it was nice to learn how things are done from someone so well-versed in the techniques. Inc. tax, the whole meal was about $60, so while it was more than we would have spent at Culvers and Taco Bell, it was truly a memorable lunch and a special treat we'll try and reward ourselves with more often. You should, too.

This is my favorite sushi restaurant in the north shore! The owner goes to Japan regularly for fresh ingredients and products, so it is always fresh and delicious! I always get the tuna here - it's truly some of the best aroundSide note : they do charge for the green tea now - $5Parking: Parking lot for the plaza this restaurant is located inside of.Dietary restrictions: Options for brown rice, vegetarian, etc

World Renown Gyoza (Potstickers). One of the best if not the best sushi restaurants I have been to. Coming from a sushi connoisseur thats a fair title.

Even after years and trying many spots in and out of IL- still the best tasting and quality sushi I’ve ever had!

I’ve eaten here a dozen or more times when I’m passing through your on business or errands. The sushi is great quality, the prices are reasonable and the service is always great. Highly recommend!

Nice cozy place in a strip mall off Waukegan Rd. Ordered the chirashi for lunch and it was excellent. Plenty of good fish, fresh, very tasty. The entire presentation was on point. But it was expensive. Almost $10 more than at other sushi spots in the area. I don’t mind spending a little more. But it makes me think if I’ll be coming here as frequently as I would like.
