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.“

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

“Absolutely love Ton Ichi. Out of all the places that serve tonkatsu ramen in the area, this is my favorite and one of the closest to what can be found in Japan. Every time I eat here, the taste brings me back to the streets of Tokyo and Osaka. The service is always warm and friendly. Tha k you for serving our community with such wonderful food.“

“Food is super, staff is very friendly, prices very reasonable, the owner is always there and waiting for you. Strongly recommended, don’t miss that place if you’re near there. Im going there from Fox Lake to enjoy one of the best food.“

“love the food here! so many great halal options & the prices are great along with good portion sizes. for the couple times i have came here, every staff member has been kind & friendly. highly recommend the halal chicken ramen, karaage chicken & their fried rice! definitely going to come back!“

“This is a smaller establishment so service can be hit or miss. Seating is limited so you sometimes feel like you are right on top of the party next to you. The selection of options though for the all you can eat sushi is extensive. Always have to get an order of the edamame and crab Rangoons!“

“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.“

“We've lived in this area for 20 years now, and this is hands down one of our favorite local establishments. The service is warm, yet efficient, and the food is outstanding. Highly recommend for an evening with a few friends or an intimate one on one dinner.

I wish nothing but the best for this restaurant and its owners. Solid A+.“

“Spicy miso Ramen, so good“

“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“

“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!“

“Food was awesome and staff was very friendly“

“ROYCE’ Chocolate is absolutely incredible. This is some of the best and most delicious chocolate I’ve ever had. The texture is unbelievably smooth and creamy, and every bite melts in your mouth. The flavors are rich without being overpowering, and the quality really stands out. An amazing treat and also a perfect gift.“

“Lovely restaurant for parties of all sizes. We had 8 adults and 2 children.

Sushi is very good.

Spring roll was very good.

Shrimp,dishes were very good.

Service was very good.

Basically, everything was very good.

Not crowded for a Thursday dinner.

Menu had plenty of options.

Yep, no pictures. Someday I’ll remember. I don’t eat at restaurants just to review them; I eat at these restaurants because someone in my party made reservations.“

“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!“

“First time ever trying this place out as I’m not currently living in the Chicago area and we don’t have them where I live, but I had heard great things about this place and I was not disappointed at all. It was delicious and a lot of food for the price! I wish they would build one in Texas.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The bacon with quail eggs is my favorite skewer! The quail egg adds a deep flavor but is balanced out with the bacon.

The chicken skewers are consistently good. I personally enjoy the chicken thigh skewers. Also, the sausage skewers are pretty consistent in flavor.

I have tried their takoyaki multiple times. I feel it’s a hit-or-miss. Sometimes they are fresh, other times, they are a bit stale. But I still order them.

The same goes for their chicken skin skewers - they could also be a hit-or-miss.

Overall, whenever I visit Mitsuwa, I always order from Toritetsu. :)“

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

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

“Delicious food and good ambiance“

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

“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.“

“Great place! Highly recommend“

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

“The food and service were both quite good“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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❤️“

“The foods are good here that’s why I am keep coming back.But today made me a little bit upset, and I was trying to call the store, sorry I can’t find the store phone number. Because this morning I tried to order 8 spicy tuna onigiris, the girl told me only 7 left, so I toke them all, also ordered something else,when I came home found out only 7 spicy tuna onigiris but charged with 9,🥲 I don’t think she did it for purpose, but it was really overcharged.“

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