22 Best Japanese Restaurants near Grayslake

“I wish I got some photos because of how lovely everything was! Best wonton soup in the area hands down, and always pleasant service! We used to come here often enough that the lovely waitress would recognize my boyfriend and ask if he wanted their (fabulous) Thai beer. Wonton soup is garnished with cilantro, green onions, and DELICIOUS fried garlic, had to order some to go! Fresh sushi that is rolled very well with beautiful presentation, delicious drunken noodles, perfect miso soup, and very fresh house salad with crisp red onions (I've never had such a nice house salad like this before, honestly!) Great portions and everything always the perfect temperature!“

“The sushi here is amazing! I highly recommend going here.“

“Food is always great and their service is amazing. They have an extensive menu with everything from great appetizers to traditional Japanese desserts. Good selection of drinks both regular and adult. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and service. You can depend on having a great experience!“

“It's a decent auahi spot that seems like a stealth Korean place. The sushi burritos (gimbap) are great. The Korean chirashi (hwe dup bop) has a smoky, spicy sauce (gochujang). The veggie tempura was very mid though. And the tables had that cheap wax that immediately spots when your cold drink sits on the table. But the staff were nice. So it definitely seems like they could shake it out if they tried. I suspect if you know what you're doing and your order leans Korean you can get the best out of this place. Still a nice neighborhood sushi spot either way.“

“Very fresh and good food.“

“The food here is delicious & everyone was so nice! They gave my kids lollipops on the way out, which they especially loved. The sushi tasted very fresh and the hibachi was amazing (especially the rice). 10/10 experience, this is our new go-to hibachi place“

“Always great entertainment and food!!!“

“The evening was really lovely, and I truly enjoyed the place. I couldn't upload all the pictures, but I visited to celebrate my niece's birthday, and she absolutely loved the food too. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and very helpful, and the atmosphere was just as great. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!“

“Super delicious food, I totally forgot this place was right by me! It's good to know because the sushi was delicious. The crab rangoons are amazing, I wish they were bigger because the flavor was amazing! Everyone was so nice here. The lovely older staff helped us out by lending us a lighter to light my friends birthday candles and then the lovely older lady took our photos. Overall, great vibes! Will be back.“

“Love it!!!, the food and service was amazing. Would go for it again. 10/10!“

“Everything was excellent!!!“

“First time here. Will definitely be coming back many times! The Red Miso Ramen was the best I have had in a long time! Cannot wait to come back!“

“Food was absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend!!“

“The spicy crab poké bowl was lacking spicy crab, although the kimchi made up for it. Chicken fried rice was very tasty but not enough as a meal. Charsu was very fatty. Beef shoyu ramen was ok. The two slices of beef were a little tough. I liked the tasty broth, with lots of ramen, but I would have liked some kimchi or other pop of flavor.“

“Very inviting folks! Absolutely delicious and HUGE portions for a very good price! I'll be eating off the chicken teriyaki for a week!! HIGHLY recommend!“

“The ambiance was top tier. I really enjoyed the multiple sea creatures used in the decor. clearly an expert design concept. The cuisine was orgasmically good. The service was great! however not authentic since the server took my order in English which didn’t give me the authenticity I desired.“

“Tried this restaurant because we happened to be in the area. We ordered the spicy teriyaki and spicy tofu bowl. Both bowls were awesome! Tasted great. We also got the Tum yum sauce which was a nice addition. The bowls were actually not spicy but they gave us hot sauce and bottle of teriyaki sauce. We also ordered the spicy edamame which tasted great. The side of noodles turned out to be very plain noodles so we added some teriyaki and tum yum sauce to it. The regular bowl had enough portion for more than 1 person to eat it. Overall highly recommended!“

“Stopped by on Wednesday 02/06! And was greeted and attended by Mercedes. She was SUPER kind and attentive with my order! Very grateful she took my needs seriously since I fast on Wednesday's/Friday's & can only eat vegan. She went above & beyond to make sure my needs were meet! & as I was waiting I noticed how clean the area is. & once I got my order it came out so fresh; plan on visiting again! & thank you for the great experience!“

“Very kind gentleman who offered a sample of teriyaki chicken… That what got me to get food here lol. He was quick and piled as much food as humanly possible into the box. They definitely make sure you have enough for lunch AND dinner (if you can’t finish it all in one sitting). Good price for the amount of food you get, definitely recommend.“

“My wife and I totally enjoyed their food. We were a bit surprised to see that the AYCE went up to $28.99. We will go back.“

“Just enjoyed an amazing meal! The sushi was so so good and the service couldn’t have been better. Don’t skip this restaurant if you’re in the mood for sushi!“

“I ordered the Happy Family meal, it never disappoints! Always enough food for 3 meals~ for me😉“
