“Insanely delicious and fresh sushi.“

“A Big Shout Out to Happi Sushi in Highland Park. We were lucky enough to try a number of their apps and rolls. Every single thing we got was SO delicious 😋. Their sushi was fresh, tasty, and so yummy. The apps are unique and full of flavor. We just love this family owned restaurant. The staff goes above and beyond for each patron. Please try Happi Sushi, Friends. You will not be disappointed!!“

“This is the best Japanese restaurant in the world, plain and simple. For food: sushi, ramen, tempura, you name it, they have it. For drinks: sake, beer, Ramune, the list goes on and on. Don’t forget the mochi for dessert as a sweet treat to end your meal. Service is impeccable. There is outdoor dining during the weather-permitting summer months. New customers often become regulars here and if you ask, many will say this is their local favorite. Can’t say enough positive things about this place. You just have to try it for yourself.

P.S. Look for Amanda. Love her. She’s awesome and always available.“

“I honestly really liked this place! My friend took me to dinner here and it really is a hidden gem. Yes, the prices are high, but the food and service was worth it. The owner is also such a cute, lovely lady and she makes the experience even better. She gave us free egg rolls and they were absolutely delicious. Our server was also kind and the whole vibes of the place are just super nice. Def recommend!“

“Delicious your food 🍱 very friendly !!!!“

“My first visit to Inovasi and it did not disappoint! Our server Lucia was fantastic- knowledgeable friendly and she helped me find just the right cocktail! We started with their delicious bread, and then had the crispy pork belly for appetizer. For entree we had a filet with shaved truffles and a blackened cod with lime and whipped edamame. Both were superb as was the dessert of flourless chocolate cake with raspberry purée and shipped goats cheese, and a pumpkin cheesecake. All was delicious, and the ambiance and decor was warm and inviting. We will be back!“

“We were so excited to have found this new place for yummy sushi poke bowl! We adore that modernized look of the restaurant and there are a lot of variety of poke bowls to choose from. My boys like the mushroom and California rolls sushi while I enjoyed the spicy hot fish poke bowl a lot. The staff and owner were super friendly and nice. The place was stylish, neat and clean. The sashimi was fresh and delicious! The food was served fast and the price was reasonable too. We are definitely coming back!“

“We ordered Bulgogi Kimbop, Crab Cream Cheese Roll, Teriyaki Salmon Roll, and Famous Fried Chicken with honey garlic sauce. Everything was very fresh and tasty. The bulgogi kimbop had a generous amount of fillings but I could have used more of whatever delicious sauce was on it. My kids (age 2 and 3) devoured the crab cream cheese roll and the salmon teriyaki roll was slightly sweet and smoky and delicious. The boneless chicken was great. It was so crunchy and perfectly cooked and drenched in the his sticky honey garlic sauce that I was licking out of the package. The man who was running the restaurant (and cooking and ringing up orders, one man show!) was really nice and super kind! The restaurant didn’t have too many tables but the ambiance and decor was super cute and it was not loud inside. I will be back when I’m in town next.“

“Van’s is my new sushi spot for ordering! Can’t wait to actually step inside one day lol but their shrimp tempura is by far my most favorite item!!!!! Everything is delicious.“

“First time at Kuma's Sushi Bowl yesterday...1) Wife went there for lunch. 2) I stole some of the wife's bowl. 3) We both went back to grab two bowls for dinner, partly to pay her back for her lunch. And, I'd like to add that it's not very close from us. Great, fresh and delicious sushi bowls. Worth upsetting your significant other for!“

“Best sushi. Better than your fancy Chicago spot. It’s the only restaurant we frequent regularly. They have something for everyone including non sushi lovers.“

“I really like this place! I had the Tantanmen ramen and chicken karaage and both were bomb. Great service too. We were seated quickly and our food came out in under 10 mins. 5/5 stars in my book!“

“I come here a few times a week. Annie and the other staff are amazing and friendly. Food is reasonably priced and consistently good. Menu options are also extensive. It's a nice combination of American Japanese and authentic Japanese food.“

“The best sushi spot in Evanston. They flew in a 200 lb tuna from Japan.“

“My fiancé and I went here over the weekend and it was amazing! The sushi is so fresh and super filling. The protein to rice ratio was great. We ordered Scallop deluxe roll, Spicy crab crunch special, Salmon special roll, and Volcano deluxe roll. We definitely will be coming back! The owners were so sweet and welcoming. It's not all you can eat, but the sushi quality is amazing and reasonably priced. I highly recommend!“

“This is a great spot for quick and convenient sushi takeout. While there isn’t indoor seating, the quality of the food makes it well worth the visit. The sushi is always fresh, flavorful, and prepared quickly, making it perfect for grabbing lunch or dinner on the go.“

“The food is amazing! Love the all you can eat setup where they bring you your broth, meat and seafood then you go to the buffet tables and get all the veggies, noodles, and sauces you want. This way you don't have to commit to a large quantity of just a few vegetables. I like it because I don't like mushrooms but my partner loves them so he can get a many as he wants and I can get extra lotus root instead. This is our new favorite place to get hotpot and we will definitely be back to try all the different broths, meats and seafood.“

“Food was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“HIDDEN GEM!!!! Best sushi around and beautiful presentation. Been coming here for 20 years maybe more and have never been disappointed. Lovely friendly staff, reasonable prices. I sinply can't say enough great things about this restaurant!!“

“I came to Sushi on Saturday for lunch. They had specials but I chose an eel roll for $11. And a Japanese drink. Both were delicious and fresh. The place is modest and small but the sushi is excellent. I recommend this place and will be back for sure.“

“Our dinner at Jimoto was wonderful. We are somewhat limited in our choice of selections by my wife's seafood allergies, but we were able to put together a varied selection that were both excellent and safe. The food was excellent, and the service, specifically our server, Isabella, was superb.“

“ALWAYS delicious food, courteous staff!! 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽“

“Welcome to Elmhurst! My poke bowl was amazing and my kids loved their sushi! So fresh and good! We will be back.“

“perfect foods...great decorations.. nice price...“

“Nobori Sushi is a sleek, welcoming spot that blends traditional Japanese charm with a modern, relaxed vibe. The sushi here is consistently fresh and beautifully presented — every roll feels thoughtfully crafted rather than rushed. The Nigiri and sashimi stand out in particular, with melt-in-your-mouth texture and clean, balanced flavors.

Service is polite and attentive without being overbearing, and the staff seems genuinely proud of what they serve. The menu offers a nice mix of creative rolls alongside classic favorites, and the prices feel fair for the quality you’re getting.

The ambiance is calm and intimate, perfect for either a quiet dinner or a casual night out. If anything, a few of the cooked dishes could use a touch more seasoning, but that’s a minor note in an otherwise excellent meal.

Overall, Nobori Sushi earns a solid four stars — a dependable go-to for quality sushi, great service, and a pleasant dining experience.“

“Great selection of sushi. Poke bowl was massive with a ton of fish, maki was very tasty, salad with the tempura crunch was excellent. Atmosphere was nice and classy, but not too loud or flashy. Service was very good, they checked often enough without being intrusive. Overall great experience.“

“Good food with good asmosphere. I really recommend this restaurant if you are in a mood of craving yummy food!“

“The widest selection of Sushi grade seafood Ive seen on a menu in a Long time- all very fresh and very generously portioned! Octopus and salmon Sashimi were the dessert orders from our kids 😂 We will definetly be returning, and highly recommend. Servers, Host, Owner, entire staff was extremely attentive- and to top it all they were happily and safely able to accomodate my childs severe dairy and peanut allergies (first sushi experience for him, and we Love seafood, so huge win for the whole family 🙌🏼)“

“We liked very much. We strongly recommend“

“Hands down one of the best Tonkatsu Bentos around. The pork cutlet was crispy, golden, and incredibly juicy. Sankyu Sushi & Izakaya does an amazing job honoring traditional Japanese flavors while delivering consistent quality. A five-star experience every time.“

“So, I stopped here after my post-op visit and ordered crab rangoon & orange chicken.
The crab rangoon is what I ate first, and as someone who has visited over three dozen american-chinese food selling restaurants in the Chicagoland area it is the best I have ever eaten. Really really spectacular. Incredibly tasty, strong flavors in both the filling & the sauce. Perfect amount of wrapping to filling. Will be coming here again when I'm in the area, just so I can get another set of them. I genuinely considered going back in and ordering another set when I finished the first but I had my orange chicken to eat so I sadly decided against it.

The orange chicken was next, and it was okay. I did enjoy it, but it came with onions (which I love) and bell peppers (which I hate) so I would've asked for it without the bell peppers if I'd known. Also the flavor wasn't as strong as I like, I prefer a strong orange flavor and a lot of sauce. This didn't have that, but it was the crispiest chicken I've ever had with orange chicken so that was definitely a bonus.
All in all, I'll definitely come back the next time I have an appointment here, mostly to get crab rangoon but I'll definitely be trying other things as well!“

“Really good place! I was expecting generic Chinese but I was pleasantly surprised. I asked the owner if the egg foo young was made with real eggs, or eggs from a carton. He was kind of shocked at the notion he would use eggs from a carton and assured me it was made with fresh eggs and freshly-made vegetables, like he would not be caught dead doing it any other way. That gave me a good feeling about the place - he clearly had pride in what he does. We had a vegetarian and a celiac in the party and he was very understanding and respectful of their needs. We are picky eaters but were all very happy with our meals, which were really good. Big portions too!“

“This place truly lives up to its name with flavors and craftsmanship that match its reputation.

I recently discovered an incredibly amazing sushi spot. It is easily one of the best I’ve ever been to. Everything is unbelievably fresh and full of flavor, and the sauces are absolutely amazing.

The staff is very friendly, and Justin, the owner, gave perfect menu recommendations. His culinary skill genuinely impressed me, and I can confidently say that from now on, this is the only place where I’ll be eating sushi.

I highly recommend the Angry Tuna Roll, Liger Roll, and Poke Nacho. Every single one was outstanding.

If you love sushi, this place is an absolute must-visit.“

“The food & service are always spot on. We only go a few times a yr for birthdays, & we are always greeted kindly by the front of the house as well as all the servers. Had the hot dynamite roll for the first time & it was amazing!“

“Absolutely love their Salad Maki and order it every single time I visit. All of their rolls are delicious but every veggie roll shines. Their Cucumber & Japanese Mint salad is also one of a kind and always order it.

A real gem of a sushi spot in downtown Des Plaines and worth a trip from neighboring cities to experience.“

“Yummy food and good service.“

“Fresh, Fresh, Fresh Seafoods! Great Service! Tasty foods.“
