The staff is quick to serve you and is very friendly and knowledgeable! The entire place is immaculate and tastefully decorated! And the smell of seared tuna and scallops fills the air making way to a pleasant and inviting atmosphere! Well done!“

“Best omakase menu in the suburbs.“

“This is my number 1 go-to spot and my favorite restaurant of all time. I've been going to this location since they opened their doors and every time I walk in I feel extremely welcomed and excited to see the great additions they make. The staff are some of the most kind and wonderful people I've ever met, super kind with a wonderful smile, they make every vist feel amazing. The atmosphere is beautiful, since the beginning they've been adding new details to fit the aesthetic and improving the overall quality. The food is amazing, it taste great with super fresh ingredients; it makes any tummy feel good. They are able to craft your meal however you need it be and they serve fast and hot! They have a wide variety or appetizers and main dishes that all taste great. I absolutely love this place and very thankful we have this restaurant in our community! Cannot wait till my next vist!“

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

“I’ve lived in Schaumburg for years and never stumbled upon here! New favorite. Everything is extremely fresh and tasty. Lady at the front was super kind as well. I’ll see you guys soon 😋Shrimp tempura roll(not pictured) is also very good❤️“

“For someone who loves eating out and loves ramen it is very hard to find a spot that me and my friends can agree on that can help accommodate my halal diet, but this place made it possible for me and my friends to have a place that can accommodate all of us. The halal spicy ramen was amazing and I enjoyed every bite, the atmosphere was amazing and calm, and the service was top tier where I didn’t have to wait long to get my order taken or wait too long for the food. Thank you US Ramen staff for your hard work.“

“Went here recently for the first time. We got the all you can eat deal. We started with the crab rangoons and they were below average. It was just cream cheese inside with no flavor. On the other hand, the sushi was great. Very fresh, quick, and flavorful. If the crab rangoon was seasoned better, this place would be 5 stars.“

“great food. bit of a wait but worth it. fresh crispy tempura with a sweet tendon sauce. the udon has a beautiful smokey broth with great noodles, add a bit of their onikasu for a bit of spice and extra flavor.“

“The food and service are great!“

“If you want authentic food an amazing experience then this is your go to. The owners are hardworking and they do everything themselves. When you come here, you will be greeted by the hostess/waitress with a smiling face. A sweet Japanese man will be making the sushi and a lovely woman in the kitchen preparing with love all of the hot dishes. It is places like this that I love to eat, quite the opposite of the corporate chain restaurants who give you minimal while charging the max. This place does the opposite. You get the full value out of your dollar and it is well spent. The freshness of the sushi and the flavor of the chicken yakitori are second to none, because love is an ingredient that is not often found in restaurants anymore. Please do yourself a favor and bring your family to a restaurant that you will feel wholesome while filling you up.“

“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!“

“Spicy miso Ramen, so good“

“Food was awesome and staff was very friendly“

“More people absolutely need to pay Carlos a visit.

Immaculate tempura and generally have your order ready quick and fresh.

I got the Edomar Tempura plate and loved it.
I especially love how when you get the plate they include the grated daikon in your tentsuyu! The only place in the US I've seen even include it.

Absolutely try it out if you haven't yet. I highly recommend any combo that includes a shishito pepper with it!“

“If you like chocolate then this is definitely a place worth visiting. There is an interwebs video thingy about how they make the chocolate which inspired us to visit. The chocolate is more european in style, and also not too sweet. I loved it and also exploring the japanese market nearby. A fun afternoon!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“This continues to be my favorite place in the food court. The food is always fresh. You can't go wrong with what you get. The curry is the best one out of all the places in the food court. The Udon noodles are always perfectly cooked. They offer fresh tempura flakes, green onion, ginger, sauces, and seasonings on the side as well. Highly recommend trying! Staff are always kind and efficient.“

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

“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.“

“Went to Yakitori Toritetsu inside Mitsuwa Marketplace, The setup honestly caught my attention right away. It looks like one of those little street grill spots you’d see in Japan. Small counter, grill going, smell of meat in the air… yeah, that smell pulls you in fast. No line when I got there. Staff was friendly but very straight to the point. Order, grill, done. Food came out quick.

It’s basically meat on a stick. The grill gives the meat this nice char on the outside, slightly smoky, and the inside stays juicy. The chicken I had was really tender, soft bite, not dry at all. Each piece had that salty grilled flavor that hits right away, then the smoky taste follows after. Hard to explain but it’s really satisfying.

I did think it could use just a little more seasoning or maybe a stronger glaze… but honestly the simple salt worked. It lets the chicken flavor come through more.

Simple food. Skewers, grill, done right. Sometimes that’s all you need.“

“Great food and service enjoyed my meal will definitely come back“

“Teriyaki Madness is one of the best places to eat. The service was amazing, and I was attended to right away. The staff was friendly, the food was fresh, and the overall experience was excellent. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal“

“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!“

“Great place! Highly recommend“

“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.“

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

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

“Delicious food and good ambiance“

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

“The food and service were both quite good“

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

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

“Love this place!!! Great prices and everything is SO fresh!! love the quality and the packaging is so cute and sustainable. They always make sure to cordon off the wasabi from the sushi which I love too because I don't care for it in the slightest but my husband loves it so I always give him mine. I don't know anywhere else I can get this quality combined with the price. 3 rolls for under $30 is unbeatable in my opinion. As long as they're around I'll continue to order from them at LEAST once a week!!! Keep it up guys❤️“

“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!“
