“Phenomenal in a true gem in the Hoffman Estates area. The crabcake is to die for. Some of the best sushi that I’ve eaten all around. Very reasonably priced super tentative staff. If you have the opportunity to eat here, take it.“

“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. :)“

“So glad to have Tekka Sushi in town. There are numerous sushi options in the immediate area, and our family enjoys most of them, but for ambience and presentation, Tekka cannot be beat. I have visited for date night, business lunch, family meals--they never disappoint.“

“We had a phenomenal lunch here! It was a cold day, and we knew we needed some hot ramen. Tim-Ichi was fantastic. Really declious food, fantastic service, and a beautiful atmosphere.

We look forwarding to returning soon.

Thanks!“

“We visited with a large party for a friend’s birthday, so there was a bit of a wait before we were able to get our food order in, but overall the experience was positive. I don’t usually like sushi, so I ordered the yaki udon, which was good, and it came with a miso soup that I really enjoyed; though I do wish the udon portion had been a bit larger.

My partner ordered the Mango Tango roll and chicken tempura sushi and really liked both. The sushi was good overall, and the presentation was pretty, even if it was served on fairly basic plates. We also tried the chicken karaage, which had good flavor but could have been a little juicier.

To top it off, since we were celebrating a birthday, the staff brought out a free dessert for the table, which was a really nice touch. Overall, it’s a solid local all-you-can-eat sushi spot and a good option, especially for group dining.“

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

“I went here with my mom after seeing a TikTok video about it, and I really recommend it! They have both a Chinese and a Japanese menu, so there are tons of options to pick from. I tried the Tonkatsu Don, and it was absolutely delicious! My mom had the Gyu Don, and it was also fantastic.“

“I've been to a lot of AYCE sushi places. I just tried this spot and it's my new favorite. The restaurant itself is small but the sushi was some of the best I've had. The rolls were on the smaller side which means I can order more and get more variety. The icing on the cake is that the AYCE dinner is $25 which is great considering others are at least $30 nowadays“

“All other ramen pales in comparison to Chicago Ramen Annex. The Jiro style Ramen is amazing, the appetizers have been outstanding. The staff is super friendly and helpful.“

“This is the best sushi, hands down. Whether you dine in or order out, you will not be disappointed. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. My favorites include gyoza, Hawaiian roll, Volcano roll, seared tuna, bento box..... and everything else I've tried. Please give them a try, you'll be so happy you did. We will never go anywhere else! Thank you Asahi!“

“The food and service are great!“

“I visited this place 3 times for the last 2 months and I was so impressed with their food and wonderful service. Fish was so fresh and owner Mr. Lee owned this restaurant over 40 years....consistent food quality and good customer service.I just recommend you should visit this place and get the service.
You will be able to enjoy the essence of Japanese food and service here.^^&“

“Spicy miso Ramen, so good“

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

“Food was awesome and staff was very friendly“

“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!“

“Great restaurant very good portions of delicious food. Compared to other hibachi restaurant this is by far the best .our # 1 will be back for more.“

“I’ve been going to Tokio Sake for last 10 years. The food is amazing and the variety of Sake to choose from, the Chefs are creative and consistent . Not many places carry bluefin tuna but Tokio Sake does. Sashimi is fresh and kitchen entrees are outstanding.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Came here from Dallas. It was like $9 for a bowl of udon absolutely loaded with chicken. The chicken was unbelievably tender and the broth was super good. Like unironically, this was the best udon I've ever had and it was like $5 cheaper than what I'm used to in Dallas. And the lady was very nice.“

“Absolutely fantastic! I ordered the Kaiseki Bento with Salmon, and it was a feast! The grilled salmon was perfectly cooked—crispy skin with tender, flaky meat. The bento came with miso soup, fresh salad, delicious gyoza, tempura that was light and crispy, and a few California rolls that rounded out the meal beautifully. Great presentation and flavor. Sushi EN has definitely become my new go-to for Japanese lunch and dinner specials!“

“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.“

“Great sushi. Friendly service. Consistent quality.“

“The food was amazing and the service was even better! Jacklyn was so helpful throughout the whole menu process and was very attentive to mine and every other customers needs! The owner, Steve was also great as well! I highly recommend the restaurant.“

“Party sushi Trays - Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — every bite was perfection.“

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

“They make really good cooked to order fried rice. My Fiancé has also enjoyed sushi from this establishment. Top notch stuff.“

“Curry has good flavor. Yakisoba has good flavor, but mixing the two in the same dish was too much. The yakisoba also comes with thinly sliced pork mixed in so it's not vegetarian. The karage chicken had good crunch and was soft on the inside but seemed over priced for the quantity given. There's a good variety of side sauces that you can put in to go cups yourself at the counter. The wasabi soy sauce was the best. There's a long wait time.“

“I absolutely love the chick who works here at the front counter, she’s so friendly, I love her energy. Doesn’t hurt the food is really good. But honestly I look forward to seeing her every time I order there! Thanks for your good attitude towards the service industry, it’s appreciated.“

“Delicious food and good ambiance“

“Awesome tasting food snd smoothies!!! Great service too! Large portions, and ready fast! But most of all I love the taste. Can’t wait to have more!“

“The food and service were both quite good“

“The sushi here is delicious and always packaged so you can be sure of the freshness and quality. But the price per person of $25.99 is simply insane. My husband and I counted everything we ate and it turned out that it was less than the amount we had to pay, which was $57.70 WITHOUT TIP. So there is no point in coming to the buffet anymore, because there is no point. I recommend calculating the cost of sushi and rolls on the website before you decide to pay $25.99 for All you can eat“

“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👍👍“

“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!“

“Located in the food court of the Mitsuwa Marketplace (on the west side of the food court just to the right of the hallway to the bathrooms), this Japanese restaurant had a good selection of food, in usual Japanese tradition- had visual representations of all the meals, and the prices were good. This was my wife & I's first time eating at this place, and we enjoyed the food a lot. They accept cash which is huge in my opinion as a lot of the businesses and restaurants inside Mitsuwa do not accept cash; I tipped them as a result & told them Thank You for accepting cash. The lady who took our order was very friendly and answered our questions about the food with a huge smile on her face. Seating is located in the general food court area so you can't really say much about the food court other than it is very busy if you go around lunch time on the weekends, but you'll find plenty of seating for lunch on a week day.

Plenty of fun things to do before or after eating in Mitsuwa as well from the grocery store, book store, One Piece card game store, boba tea, and lots of other restaurants and food vendors.“
