“Great food. Excellent friendly service.“

“One of the best places to eat on earth! Flavors are amazing. Salad dressing is the best. Spicy Garlic Shrimp - amazing! The house made Teriyaki is the best I ever had! Such a great place! Highly recommend. :)“

“We have been coming here for over 10 years and love it! Tuna and salmon sashimi, tuna tempura wraps, angry tuna, raspberry chipotle shrimp, sashimi carpaccio, and the maguro salad are just a FEW of our favs! Hope you love it as much as we have all these years!“

“I'm from California and I'm a big fan of Sushi. I've eaten expensive sushi, cheap sushi, all-you-can-eat sushi, all sorts of sushi, and Tekka Sushi just got it right for a price that's actually not expensive, but also not cheap at the same time. The ingredients are high quality ingredients with amazing taste. I would recommend this place to friends and family 100%. Excellent high quality place.“

“Some of the best sushi I have had anywhere.

Edit: 1 year later and it was even better than my last time. The fish is incredible and the chefs know exactly what they are doing. Fantastic flavor combinations and one of the rare places they actually put some wasabi under the fish on nigiri- no soy, ginger, or wasabi needs to be added. Definitely give it a go.“

“Lovely service! Immediately as we walked in, we were greeted with inviting service and a very tidy nice atmosphere! Our service was great! Our waiter was attentive, kind and patient, and our food was delicious, to say the least. Flavorful, fresh ingredients in each bite! I totally recommend going here to try authentic ramen!“

“In town from MN, and saw this place on Google. Glad we did it was amazing. Place was busy which means you know it's good, so we got take out. They even through in a couple appetizers for free. Sushi and Sashimi plater for 2 was amazing.“

“Very nice, hardworking staff and delicious food! Love this place and highly recommend!! 😋👍“

“握壽司好吃！綠茶香，不澀。味噌湯不死鹹。to go的章魚燒🐙跟唐揚雞味道好份量足。所有食物價格合宜。有很多日式小包箱，適合多人聚餐唷。“

“I ordered takeout from here because I saw it was a local place and it did not disappoint! I tried the lobster roll, and it was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The portion size was generous, and getting three rolls for just $25 felt like an incredible deal. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“We wanted to try a new place tonight and this was perfect! The food was amazing, the service was great! Even my picky son loooved his ramen and he usually never drinks like soup or broth and he literally drinking the bowl. Definitely will be back!“

“Royce chocolate and cookies is located inside of mitsuwa along with several high end vendors and shops. Royce doesn't disappoint. Paris was extremely helpful and went over all of the offerings that Royce had. I ended up getting the variety pack because I couldn't make up mind. Great gifts for the adventurous tongue and even for someone with a sweet tooth. The have adorable pink gift bags to make it for a quick pick up. I absolutely recommend the fromage blanc chips, they are delicious and daring at the same time!“

“Spicy miso Ramen, so good“

“The food and service are great!“

“This unassuming sushi restaurant offers incredible sushi and exceptional service.I always feel welcomed by friendly faces. The servers are highly attentive, noticing when drinks are running low or when plates are finished.The restaurant itself is casual and small, but offers a cozy environment for a meal in small groups.There is a nice variety of appetizers. I love the asparagus beef roll, it’s without a doubt the best asparagus negimaki I’ve ever had.The sushi is high quality and fairly priced. Itamae diligently prepare the sushi from a small counter in the center of the restaurant, welcoming and thanking diners as they enter and leave.The menu offers a wide variety of maki, from simple California rolls to complex creations like the Sato roll. I keep coming back for the sweet potato roll, with immense flavor despite simplicity, and the delicious spicy tuna crunch roll. These rolls are edible works of art.Asahi is simply the best.“

“I really enjoyed my dinner at Tokio Sake. I ordered a volcano roll, and it was enough to
feed two people. The quality of the food was 5 stars! The presentation was artistic, and my server was attentive. The restaurant was very full on a Saturday night, which is a testament to the place. I had not eaten here before but will definitely come back! The ambiance is very nice as well. Great dining experience 👌“

“I dined here at the sushi bar for the first time this year (Saturday night, 11-9-2024)! I usually order about $100-$200 of take out! It was a GREAT experience! The main dining room was PACKED, so thankfully, I had the sushi bar area to myself! Anyway, for appetizers, I had the Golden Lobster, Golden Shrimp and Shrimp Shumai Dumplings (which were so pillowy soft and delicious)! Then for entree, I had a Salmon Skin Handroll, Spicy Tuna Handroll, and a ton of nigiri: Uni/Sea Urchin, Salmon, Fatty Salmon, Tuna, Fatty Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Mackerel, Ikura/Salmon Roe, Spicy Tobiko/Flying Fish Roe, and Tamago/Scrambled Egg! My total bill was $190!!! It was well worth it because I had the sushi bar area to myself, got to watch these cool blues videos on the flat screen TV, and have a nice time talking with Owner/Executive Chef Mr. Lee! I will, of course, be back for more awesome sushi! By the way, you can only dine in on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights! You can do take out on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights! They're closed on Mondays!“

“Food was awesome and staff was very friendly“

“Food tasted great! Friendly staff and amazing service. Will be back!“

“We love this place and we will going to miss it“

“First time going here was amazing, staff was great and very respectful, and don’t even get me started on the ramen, everything about it was amazing from the taste to the look. But yeah honestly great place to grab ramen.“

“I took a few moments of respite from my quest to be a great person to go to this great Japanese-influenced food place.
The meal I had was very good and inexpensive. It was a very good ramen. There were also good fried ingredients, the fried egg was crazy as the young people who are hungry for crazy things say. However I give 0/20 to the fried fish.
But I still give 19/20 to the whole meal which was super banger.
The only downside and one point less is that there is clearly no place to eat your super yum meal: "(please think about putting more chairs or tables or benches or anything (not a suitcase or a mini pistachio, neither of these would be useful in this situation)

Banco for this place yum.
Goodbye UwU

Vegetarian options: Rice and miso“

“We've gotten take-out three times now and the food is consistently hot and delicious, and prepared very quickly. Staff is friendly over the phone and at the front desk. We have closer options for Japanese food but Umai is SO worth the drive! Highly recommend!“

“They had yakitori, which I tried. I ordered the chicken thigh, pork belly, and sausage. Everything is cooked to perfection and smells good from the charcoal fire. The pork belly is my favorite because of the fat, the meat was crispy and tender. I ordered the karaage don (mayo & poached egg) as my main course. I believe the teriyaki sauce was overdone. As a result, the chicken lost its crunch.“

“Just went last night and happy to say that it is finally improving after hitting a slump during the pandemic. The food has always been excellent but service is spotty. Last night, I would give a solid A- for service, and the food, an A+! Hope they keep the upward trend!“

“Really enjoy this place. Golden shrimp is fabulous“

“Best sushi ever, great hospitality, I recommend the Salmon Sunset. I can never get sushi anywhere else, this place is a hidden gem!! 10/10“

“Excellent , 💯 % recommended“

“Great sushi. Friendly service. Consistent quality.“

“Love, love, love this place! After a long time, Teriyaki Madness has finally reopened! Long thought to be gone for good they opened just this past weekend and the food is just as good as ever.

Fresh, hot and hella delicious. Can't recommend the Spicy Chicken bowl with rice n veggies enough, and be sure to try the chicken potstickers.

The staff were nice and friendly and the restaurant clean and in good order. Be sure to stop by if you are in the area!“

“Love this restaurant! The food is consistently delicious, the wait staff is top notch and the restaurant is an enjoyable ambiance with multiple booths for seating or tables if preferred. We're so glad this opened!

Parking: Parking is right out front of door which helped once when it had begun to rain! Also, handicapped parking is available.“

“Went there for a birthday party with part of our family and grandchildren. Our chef was wonderful paid attention to the children made everyone's meal. Very entertaining and enjoyable food was also good

Kid-friendliness: Everyone was great“

“Best sushi in Schaumburg! Fresh and delicious, as well as innovative rolls! The new owners are doing a great job holding Joe’s standard.“

“Ordering through this restaurant is an introvert's dream. You mainly order through a kiosk and I was able to customize my order to my liking. Looking back, I wish I had added more curry to my dish.I got the chicken katsu curry w/ extra rice, 10 gyoza on the side to share and a water bottle. Food was fantastic and I actually took home leftovers, (which were fantastic leftovers btw). I spent about 30 bucks on my food, however you're near Chicago, so what do you expect?Others complained about wait time, however I came with a group of people, so it worked out as I was able to locate a table while I waited for my food. The kiosk also asked for my phone number so to text me with my order number and to tell me when it was ready.“

“amazing all you can eat wagyu and snow crab shabushabu!“

“Delicious food and good ambiance“

“I went to Wok n Fire for my first time tonight and got to experience it a little differently with it being the first day you are able to dine indoors since COVID. Our waitress, Stacey was absolutely amazing! She gave personal recommendations and even traded out my girlfriends wine that she didn’t like. Great food and delicious!“

“Wow just wow. This is my first time trying sushi in American and if its this good i will never go back to my own country. Everything is fresh and yummy. The nicest and most caring Staff i ever experianced. I believe the waitress is the owner and she is the most caring person in a resturant i had ever dealt with. Truly very good food and service i will Come back😍❤“

“I was craving a nice Poke bowl, and Google led me to this new business in Bartlett. I'm always willing to give a new place a try.We ordered two bowls in total. We love the fact that there is an option for half rice and half green. I ordered my bowl with half rice/half green with salmon with assorted toppings. I especially like the crabmeat salad and seaweed salad in my bowl. Gf ordered hers with salmon with toppings( she likes Avocado). There are 7/8 sauces we can choose from the menu.The staffs were very friendly behind the counter. Overall, I can definitely see myself coming back for more. If you are looking to have a bowl of goodness in your stomach, give this place a shot!“

“Standard sushi place with AYCE. It's decent and a good deal. The food is average sushi, nothing great but nothing bad, if it wasn't AYCE I probably would choose a different place, they charge for hot tea and it's flavorless, so maybe avoid that.“

“The food and service were both quite good“

“Excellent value especially if you get Lettuce Entertain You Rewards!“

“It’s so so good 😃 Th good is Amazing“

“Fantastic atmosphere, big portions of delicious food and tasty hot sake👍👍“

“The food is really good we got #43 and #48 it comes with extra spices/seasoning on the side. The only “issue” is that this place is located inside of Mitsuwa Asian Market so it tends to be VERY BUSY during the weekend which means that customer service is not the best unfortunately. The food was under $15 each.“
