“Food was delicious and they had so many choices. Our server was nice. Some of our food didn't even come out until the rest of us were almost done but we went during lunch so maybe they didn't have the staff that day. Would live to go again soon.“
“Awesome place! One of the best sushi restaurant in northshore. I’m so happy I found this place. Food - especially sushi and sashimi are fresh and delicious.Staffs are friendly and nice, too. Highly recommended!!분위기도 좋고 음식도 맛있습니다.“
“I was hesitant to start writing, since I wanted to keep the place all to myself! But this would not be fair, so here goes my review. First, consider my vocabulary of superlatives to be already exhausted by previous reviewers. Second, these are the facts: we ate there twice in one week: we had a dinner and then immediately scheduled an omakase. Both time it was a life-changing experience. I kid you not! The sushi dinner was probably the best I ever had this side of the Pacific and this deep inland. In a 'regular' sushi place all sushis taste, well, like the defrosted raw fish with soy sauce. Not chef's Jino's! Each piece was different, complex, and exciting. The omakase performance was on par with a multi-Michelin-star restaurant I've ever been to with the difference being the absence of the usual hits or misses - hits only, be it a souffle, or sashimi, or filet. The host and waiter Danny was helpful and knowledgeable. And the place itself was pretty close to my ideal of a modern upscale restaurant - sleek, contemporary, and yet cosy. To the detriment of my convenience, I can only wish the place to have a month-long waiting list soon enough!“
“Went here on a Friday night recently for the first time with a friend. The host and the waitress made sure that my first experience would be unforgettable. We received delicious appetizers on the house. Service was probably the best service I've received in a really long time. And most importantly the food was delicious and fresh. Staff put so much effort into their service and food. It was refreshing to have such a positive experience at a local restaurant for a change. Will be back again soon!“
“I have been going to Hayashi for years. Whenever, I have a craving for Japanese strip steaks, sushi, or Udon that is my go-to place. Excellent Food, Excellent Service, and Excellent Ambiance. I would highly recommend this Japanese steak house. They go out of their way to serve their customers. In my case, I love to have their kimchi and they bring it without even me mentioning about it. 5 Stars.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available in their menu.“
“Food and service was amazing!Haven't been here for awhile. So sad they got rid of there all you can eat but totally understand why due to cost of food and inflation. As long as there service doesn't suffer, I appreciate them being around.“
“Typically I give this place all 5 stars but had to only give 4 stars for the service. The place was busy as usual, but one meal did not come until 20 mins after everyone else was done eating. They kept saying another 5 mins. Don't get me wrong the sushi is great and I will be coming back, but it would have nice if they offered us a discount or a free dessert.“
“If you're near Libertyville craving some sushi or hibachi, this is the spot to visit. Their sushi rolls are delicious! You must try the Dragon Ferrari and OMG rolls. They won't disappoint you. They're full of flavor. It's probably my 4th time coming to this spot and they never disappoint. If you're feeling hibachi, try the stake and shirmp, it's also delicious!“
“One of my favorite sushi restaurants. I wish it was a little nicer, kinda showing it's age, restaurant is over 10 years old, decors hasn't changed since then. Service is good, and they are attentive.Vegetarian options: Have friends who are vegetarian they enjoy their food.“
“Tokyo Bowl is one of Vernon Hills' hidden gems. It's tucked away in a strip mall off of Townline Road. Ever since I was a child, I've always asked my parents to take me here for a special lunch. Now, it's my go-to spot for sushi dates. Every dish on the menu is beautifully crafted and undeniably delicious. I would recommend this place to everyone who is a fan of Asian cuisine. If you're someone who doesn't like sushi, you should try the Korean cup-bop or the ramen instead. My favorite dishes are the mango ramen, rainbow roll, and beef cup-bop. I'd like to personally thank the business owner for being such a gentleman and providing the best possible service to all of his customers for the many, many years. You are appreciated!“
“Took me forever to give this place a whirl but I'm sure glad I did. I fell in love the first time trying this past December.It's amazing what you can do with a relatively short menu and turn it into a growing sensation. The teriyaki chicken here is the bomb!With some similarity to the likes of such competitors as Panda or Cajun Grill in the mall, TM definitely comes out on top as far as taste and that teriyaki sauce is boss!Clean dining area, still reasonable prices despite the madness roughly the last 4 years and friendly customer service servin' up delicious Asian fare.I hope this chain continues to expand and continue sprouting all over the country. I'm getting hungry thinking about my next trip there just typing this!“
“We haven’t been in the restaurant yet, but of the couple of times we’ve ordered food through GrubHub- the food has been some of our favorite in the area. It’s one of the few times we’ve really felt like care was put into making the food. We will keep ordering!“
“Aha Sushi is fantastic! Their sushi is fresh and delicious, with a great variety of deep-fried rolls. The ramen is good, but I wish the egg was runny vs hard boiled in traditional ramen style. Overall, great food and friendly service. We will definitely be back!“
“Jin is my absolute FAVORITE place to grab lunch. It is truly a hidden gem. The crab ragoon is the best I have ever had. Its my favorite thing!!! Although, everything I have tried is amazing. The serving sizes are so generous and the food is so fresh and clean, not greasy. Its the BEST! You have to give it a try!“
“I have driven by this restaurant for 3 years and finally tried it. I wish I would have stopped sooner. A gem of a restaurant, with amazing food and great service. I am a sucker for breakfast so when I saw that they serve it until 230, I had to try. The Alaska Benedict was TO DIE FOR!! The Wasabi hollandaise was such a surprisingly delightful taste. The cucumbers and lemon added a flavor and crunch that I never knew I needed in my benedict. It also came with potatoes and brussel sprouts that blew me away. Seriously, you have to try it. I also ordered a Philly roll and it was the best I've had. The smoked salmon on the Benedict and the roll was so good. The breakfast menu looks fantastic, along with the regular menu. I absolutely will be returning, I need to make up for lost time!“
“Really nice little place. Me and a friend came in and they sat us down right away. We got all you can eat sushi. We tried all of the sushi and every single one of them were delicious. The Crab Rangoon was the best I ever had and all of the other sides we had were amazing. We finished off with the mochi iced cream.Over all it was amazing and the only complaint was the service was a bit slow. I would definitely bring friends here again!“
“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“
“Many years ago we visited Koyasan in Japan and it was a village that was the center of Shingon Buddhism with 117 temples scattered around a cedar forest. We stayed overnight in one of the monasteries and dined on shojin ryori meals, made without meat, fish or animal products (and without onions or garlic). What does this have to do with Koya, the Japanese restaurant in Highland Park? Nothing, I'm afraid--the restaurant's name simply evokes memories of a very meaningful travel experience and I found myself reminiscing. This visit my Saba sashimi was cut a little thicker and did not seem to have the usual marinade. The Rainbow roll was ok but bland. The wait staff was a little argumentative when my companion checked if he was given the Dynamite roll. It was spicy but kind of meagre. We usually love dining here although this visit did not seem up to the usual standard. They do provide free miso soup if you want and complimentary mochi ice cream and Couque D'asse cookies. Though this visit was not our usual, we do love the food generally and will be back.“
“Imma be honest this place is really good me and my daughter went the sushi rolls are amazing the ugdon noodles are basically beef noodles and broth but good lol not gonna lie but the fried rice isn’t good to be honest that was only thing we didn’t “
“This was the best sushi I've had in a while.I ordered the summer roll and spicy salmon deluxe. Both were incredible and the quality of the fish was amazing. The only very very minor issue was that the rolls came with 5 or 6 pieces instead of 6 or 8, but had the same amount of rice and filling so each piece was really big and a little hard to eat in one bite - this would not discourage me from getting them again. The two rolls were very filling.I also ordered miso soup, which was very good as well and not too salty.We were the only customers at one point (2pm on a Saturday), so our food came out really quickly. Service was great and our waters were consistently refilled.“
“By far the best Chicken teriyaki I’ve had in a while. The portions are exceptional, I can honestly say I’ve never been let down. The servers are really nice ladies and occasionally a man, They are all wonderful. I highly recommend if you stop by Gurnee Mills.“
“Everything was great . New location is brighter than the old place. Sushi is so good for an AYCE restaurant. Have been going here for years and have never had a bad meal. I have ordered off the regular menu and that was also was very good. Their fried rice is delicious. I keep going back again and again,!“
“The food is 10/10. Always flavorful and well prepared. Their lunch special is really a deal. I enjoy my meal every time!It has a quiet atmosphere, which I like.The service isn't always prompt or direct - I certainly don't mind, but I can see how others might not.“
“My family and I love to go to Happy sushi and it’s my absolute favorite restaurant. Our favorite rolls to get are the carnival roll and the crispy rice. Absolutely amazing service and the food is out of this world. Would highly recommend stoping by and checking out Happy sushi if you have the chance!!“
“I've been to Japan twice. I won't waste your time. Give them your money. I've spent plenty of time eating sushi and being disappointed. This was not that. The soba was superb and the sushi brought me back to Osaka. The prices are fair for the quality. Enjoy!“
“Was unsure of how good this would be (strip mall restaurants aren’t always great)…but truly such a great experience. It was a bit quiet inside, but we made ourselves at home and decided to try. The food was really good - we got sushi, tempura, and teriyaki chicken. I got the Oyako Udon and it was great. Highly recommend.“
“Would highly recommend Kuro bistro for the playful menu, house-made sauces, fresh ingredients, great service, and relaxed ambience. We had hibachi scallops, sushi pizza on crispy rice, several rolls, and hibachi shrimp. We also ordered a side of the amazing spicy fermented daikon pickes and gomae. The kyuuri roll would be a perfect lunch choice too. Everything was very good and service was excellent. Lots more to explore on the menu, will be returning many times.“
