“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!“

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

“One of the best sushi spots in the suburbs 😍“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“fantastic tiny place but the food sushi huge selection and ramen are great. I have such a nice experience Everytime I go there. The owners Akira and Kathy are THE NICEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. REALLY PLEASANT! I go next door for a pedi and I just feel so relaxed and nice going in this mini strip mall. I really recommend both. if your having a crappy day go get a pedi and enjoy some great sushi or ramen. it's a counter place but it has its own charm and coziness. they use to own the restaurant in Wilmette but downsized. so help keep this gem and go often.😀“

“Our family has been coming here for over a decade; at least a couple of times/month. Every single time the food has been consistently great and the sushi is fresh. The staff know exactly who I am when I am there and always get the “Red Carpet” treatment.“

“Always great and fresh sushi here. Keep in mind this isn't a sit-down spot and is strictly a take out place. Not much options if you were to walk in as you are required to order ahead (which can take some time ~ buffer at least 60 minutes ahead)

Parking: Somewhat difficult depending on time. The free parking lot doesn't have a lot of space.“

“Jimoto is a true gem in Winnetka, and Kai's service elevates the entire experience to something extraordinary. Every time I visit, I'm reminded why this place stands out from the rest. Kai's attention to detail and genuine warmth make dining here feel less like a restaurant visit and more like being welcomed into someone's home. Their consistent excellence in service - always attentive without being intrusive - shows a real understanding of what great hospitality means. What makes this place special isn't just the delicious food (though that's certainly part of it) - it's the way Kai and the team create an atmosphere that keeps you coming back. They remember preferences, make thoughtful recommendations, and ensure every guest feels like a regular. If you're looking for a dining experience that combines excellent Japanese cuisine with truly outstanding service, Jimoto is the place, and if Kai is your server, you're in for a treat. Consistently the best indeed.“

“The care the staff takes with every single one of my orders is always top notch. From the Miso soup, to their deluxe rolls… the flavor in every bite is delicious. Even when it’s a simple take out order, the chef still takes the time to make the platter look cared for and even today, he or she wrote a little picture on the lid of my miso soup container. I am a sushi fanatic, and this place is my number one in the area. Thank you for always making my experiences with your dishes an absolute delight!“

“First time trying Nobori, and I must say the Sushi was amazing. The owner Nobori was kind, friendly, and attentive. To start, we ordered edamame, and miso soup. One of the best miso soups I've had. Edamame was streaming hot, and yummy. We ordered Ramen miso soup, which was really tasty. For sushi we ordered, the Patrick roll, Galapagos roll, and sushi/sashimi combo that comes with spicy tuna rolls. For dessert we ordered green tea ice cream. All the rolls were phenomenal. We will def be back.“

“Awesome. Kid friendly. Portions were generous and fresh. Can't wait to come back.“

“First of all, I hope this restaurant stays in Chicago for a long time. I tried the braised cutlassfish, and it was incredibly delicious. I never thought I would find such tasty cutlassfish in Chicago. Having lived near the ocean in Korea before moving to this landlocked city, I've had a hard time finding food that reminds me of home. But I think I've finally found the right place. May this restaurant prosper for a long time??

First of all, I hope this house stays in Chicago for a long time!! I had braised cutlassfish and salted fish, and the braised cutlassfish was particularly delicious. The altang was delicious too! I never expected to eat such delicious cutlassfish in Chicago... Thank you so much! I used to live near the ocean in Korea, but when I moved to Chicago, which is on the mainland, I had a hard time because the food didn't suit my taste, but I think I've finally found the right home. I ate it with my friends and kept saying exclamations of admiration? The owner was also very kind!! May you prosper for a long time... ???“

“Great Fresh Sushi. A very popular place, so expect a wait. But the staff is quick and attentive. Skilled chefs. One of few Sushi places that do not add extra rice as fillers to make the Maki or Sushi seem bigger. Bottom line ..... Good Food.“

“Food is amazing, Kenny was our chef and he was great! It as our first time doing hibachi and they definitely made an effort to show us a good time. Steak was the best thing we had ordered, it is pricy but definitely worth it for when u want a fancy night out.“

“Pleasantly surprised by the ambiance, food and service. I had the poke bowl which was awesome, but my favorite item was the crab rangoon. They were made like pastries (instead of the crunchy cream cheese style ones) and were phenomenal. I'd highly recommend trying them out for yourself.“

“I had been scared off from trying this for a while with the bad reviews, and I regret waiting so long. For the midwest, this is an incredibly high quality conveyor belt sushi joint. The ingredients are well sourced and the tech works seamlessly so that you can get anything on the menu within a five minute wait. I mostly ordered from the tablet vs the belt as I wanted to enjoy the many seared nigiri options fresh, and all of the seafood was excellent. The beef nigiri were not my favorite, but that isn't a surprise given the price point. I love the food, the variety of more traditional sushi options, and the fact that I can do so quickly without a whole lot of interpersonal interaction for a fast lunch.“

“Insanely delicious and fresh sushi.“

“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 🙌🏼)“

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

“This place was no joke the best thai food I have ever had. We went twice in two days. The thai iced coffee, sushi, pad thai, sesame seed chicken, and chicken gyoza were amazing. Crab Rangoons were the best we had ever eaten. Every employee was courteous and super friendly!“

“Fuji Thai is the best restaurant in the area! I worked here for 4 years when I was younger and Ive been back as a customer every time I’m in town for the past 5 years. I can say from first hand experience, everything is clean and sanitary. The staff was always great to work with. For a first job, I couldn’t have asked for more. And Mona and her family (owners) are amazing! The food is incredible. Almost everything on the menu is made fresh and from scratch. Favorites: Tom kha soup Panang curry Double shrimp lover“

“Great fresh sushi and the owners are amazing!!! Everything I tasted was delicious, and some things I had never tried before“

“Yummy food and good service.“

“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!!“

“Nice vibe on a Saturday night, pretty busy. The restaurant is very nice looking inside. Our server was great, but very busy. The food was OK. We had several different things and some better than others. The tuna crispy rice was pretty good. The potstickers were also pretty good. The spicy deluxe funeral was very good, but the noodle dish we had was not something we would order again. It was thin noodles with vegetables and beef. The beef was very small and very dry/overcooked. The noodles didn't really have enough sauce. Overall, I would like to come again and order more sushi and try other items. I think it's worth another try. Some things we saw at other tables looked good, but it was our first time eating there and we didn't know what to order.“

“Cool.“

“I cannot say enough good things about Koya. I was so happy to find this restaurant. Everything we ordered, tempura, tempura udon soup, kids bento boxes, and sushi was incredibly good. Can't wait to go back!

Kid-friendliness: The bento box options for the kids were great! My 2 and 5 year olds loved it.“

“Love this place. Very fresh sushi!“

“Akai Hana has been in business for over 30 years, and the steady traffic means the sushi is fresh and safe, offered at a good price. However, the ambiance is lacking, with an outdated, cafeteria-like vibe and cheap-looking menus. It’s a solid spot for a quick, no-frills sushi meal, but not the place for a special dining experience.“

“Wonderful restaurant. Good menu selection. service attentive and friendly. Definitely eat here when you can. Lemonade was delightful.“

“Great food and beautiful restaurant ambience.“

“Top Notch!! Soon fun!! Staff is great, atmosphere is great... fun for kids and family and friends. Highly recommend!!“
