“This was my first time here and the food was overall good I think the all you can eat is definitely worth it. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and attentive. It was very loud the day I went the were tables put together for a big party that had kids at it and it was really annoying and not very enjoyable to be there with all the noise. Food: chicken karaage was my least favorite I wasn't a fan of the batter and the texture/flavor was not what I expected. I really enjoyed my sushi rolls and the ramen was good for the most part it was basic and I added some additives (fish cakes (upcharge to add), corn and bean sprouts)“
“Ordered Tonkotsu ramen, Kaarage, Gyoza and avocado sushi.The ramen consistency was great, Broth had a distinct but wonderful flavor and it was frothy which I liked. The toppings were also great. Eggs soft boiled to perfection and I didn’t have much of the chashu but it was also good.The Karaage was also good. Breading was great and they use dark meat which was a pleasant surprise.Gyoza was good too. Less crispy then most and I like that but maybe some might not.Sushi was also top notch. For some reason its not on the online menu but I highly recommend.I also had a taste of someone else’s katsu don and It was good.The staff are incredibly nice and considerate and there was not much wait for our food (Infact, some of the ramen came before the appetizers!)I only give the atmosphere a 3/5 because the sun glares through the window and it can be quite annoying.P.S. Big portions on the ramen so be prepared for leftovers!All in all, HIGHLY RECOMMEND for ramen lovers in chicago.“
“Don't be fooled by the appearance! Behind the modest dining area with 3 tables and a narrow counter is hiding an amazing Japanese chef who is not only brilliant in delivering the highest quality of sushi and sashimi, cooking delightful hot dishes but also pays close attention to the presentation of his creations. My sashimi selection was delightful and miso soup very tasty. The nice nod to the classic Japanese cuisine was a delicious assortment of Japanese pickles. My husband loved the incredible dressing of the house salad, the right consistency of the egg rolls, and the freshness of the shrimp tempura roll. He was particularly fond of the rich flavor of his gyoza. Kelly made us feel very welcome at her restaurant. We cannot wait to be back at this hidden gem! Bravo, Akira-San! Save our table“
“Best Thai food ever!! The potstickers and pad Thai are toooo die forrrrr! Along with that the Shumi, Crab Rangoons, and Mango sticky rice is fantastic!! Affordable prices, great food and most importantly the best owner in the whole world! Jimmy is the sweetest person ever and you can see how much he cares about each customer! You have to try it outttttt“
“First time here last week and last night (2/23/2024), we came back and dined with friends. There were 9 of us in the group. Food was delish! We had diff types of sushi, ramen, gyoza, edamame, and Taiyaki with vanilla ice cream for dessert. All were delish and brought to our table quickly. The place was clean and staff were efficient. We sat on the part of the restaurant where you sit on the floor while you eat. We enjoyed the authentic Japanese dining set-up. They have various Japanese beer and wine, and dessert options as well. Prices are slightly higher than other Japanese restaurants nearby (Ari Sushi in Des Plaines & Sushi Nikko in Arlington Heights) but we can deal with it because of the efficient service. I think this becoming one of our fave sushi places.“
“I like the food of this place better than their Schaumburg location, the original chef from their 1st location was there cooking when we went. Service is still on the learning stage as you could tell the server wasn't on top of things yet. The decor was beautiful, best one of all their branches.“
“I can't believe I never tried Torino until now! We live walking distance and I placed an order for pickup. Wow, the freshness and quality of the food was fantastic. Loved my tuna avocado roll! The space is warm and inviting and it looks like a nice bar, too. Will definitely be back to dine in!“

“If you want quality sushi and sashimi, then this is the place to go! Don't let the "hole-in-the-wall" ambiance restrain you from experiencing great and healthy food. The service was very good and the owner and sushi chef were quite warm and charming. Many locals go to this small but delightful restaurant.“
“I stumbled into this gem of a restaurant by accident and has been a patron 1-2 times a month. I have brought friends and visitors and they all loved the food, service, and ambiance. Everything that I have tried is delicious and you will not regret dining in this restaurant.“
“We already love the food here. My teenaged daughter’s number 1 pick of places to go for dinner. But wow, last night we went there as a treat to celebrate her birthday. I happened to mention that on the phone when reserving a table. And wow…the servers were so nice and after we were done with dinner, they had the robot come out with bday music and an adorable gift, which she LOVED. (Not spoiling the surprise). It was so thoughtful and special. THANK YOU for your surprise and kindness!!! :)“
“Came here Friday evening around 7pm. Place was nearly full but the servers rearranged tables quickly to seat our family of 5. We ordered 5 bowls of ramen (Tonkotsu and Miso).Pros: Food came quickly, reasonable portions. Good amount of meat and veggies.Cons: Soup is too salty for our taste. Chashu lacks a searing finish.“

“Came here for my sisters bday and we were greeted by Chef Danny and seated immediately. We started out with a variety of appetizers. We tried the salted edamame, the miso soup, shishito pepper, chicken karaage, assorted tempura shrimp and diver sea scallops. They were all super tasty but really thought the star of the appetizers were the diver sea scallops which had a perfect sear and wonderful gelatinous consistency, they were perfect. The tempura shrimp were also amazing, they were large size shrimp with a light crispy and crunchy exterior. The rolls were wonderful as well, the ones that stood out the most were the spicy sexy dragon roll, the flaming 1800 and rainbow roll. The rolls had Alaskan king crab and lobster tempura which gave them an exotic flavor profile and really made the experience unique. One of the best sushi spots we have been to, highly recommended!“
“Sushi Kushi is great! Affordable prices, amazing ambiance, wonderful service, delicious food. Our server Julia was so attentive and made the whole dining experience very personable. My vegan brother and I dined here and they had plenty of options for us to try! We ordered the AAC maki, sweet potato makis, shiitake kushi, veggie egg rolls, yaki onigiri. Our total was only $30 for all of that food which is crazy, serious bang for your buck with this restaurant. Food reviews below! Shiitake Kushi 10/10 -- Grilled shiitake skewers with this delicious sauce on top. No idea what the sauce was, but it was seriously so good. At only $2 a skewer, you may as well order 10 of them. Similar restaurants sell these for $10+ and these taste the same if not better. Egg rolls 9/10 -- Great! Solid egg rolls. It was a little more pricey for the restaurant, $6 for 3. AAC maki 9/10 -- So fresh, sesame seeds and delicious high quality fillings Yaki onigiri 10/10 -- Amazing. Almost no restaurants have this on their menu. Grilled soy sauce rice ball, simple and delicious! They also offer other onigiris with seafood filling and plum for the vegan options. Definitely recommend. Sweet Potato Maki 8/10 -- Great!! I love the soft sweet potato. I wish there was more of a tempura crunch though... maybe if they changed it so the roll was i/o and had tempura flakes on the outside? I wouldn't mind a higher price if they made this change as well, I think it would taste way better! Great as is though. Overall highly recommend this restaurant. I have had nothing but amazing experiences with the staff, the hospitality, and the delicious food. Super affordable and worth trying if you're in the area!“
