17 Best Sushi Bars near Lake Forest

“Best sushi. Better than your fancy Chicago spot. It’s the only restaurant we frequent regularly. They have something for everyone including non sushi lovers.“

“I love reviewing and eating Japanese food, and being from Japan, I find it very difficult to come across truly authentic Japanese cuisine. Most American Japanese restaurants barely scratch the surface of what Japanese food really is.

This place not only captured the atmosphere of a real Japanese restaurant, but the food itself was genuinely close to what you’d find in Japan. I had the pleasure of ordering the Zaru Soba Tempura, and I honestly haven’t had authentic tempura in a long time. I’m happy to say it exceeded my expectations, the food was outstanding.

What made the experience even better was that the waiter spoke to us in Japanese, which really showed the restaurant’s respect for the culture and added to the authenticity.

Japanese authenticity rating (if this restaurant were in Japan): 7.8/10
American-Japanese restaurant rating: 8.9/10

Overall, this place is amazing and absolutely worth visiting.“

“Delicious your food 🍱 very friendly !!!!“

“It’s so great to finally have such good-quality sushi right here in Lake County! My overall experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The food is fresh and flavorful, and I love the variety on the menu from classic rolls to bowls and even sushi tacos. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious. Honestly, it’s absolutely worth the visit, and trust me, once you try it, you’ll definitely be coming back!

You can dine in, drive thru, and order to go!“

“My wasabi roll was outstanding! Absolutely delightful. Thank you!“

“Great place to hangout and good sushi“

“First time at Kuma's Sushi Bowl yesterday...1) Wife went there for lunch. 2) I stole some of the wife's bowl. 3) We both went back to grab two bowls for dinner, partly to pay her back for her lunch. And, I'd like to add that it's not very close from us. Great, fresh and delicious sushi bowls. Worth upsetting your significant other for!“

“Love it!!!, the food and service was amazing. Would go for it again. 10/10!“

“Food was absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend!!“

“Van’s is my new sushi spot for ordering! Can’t wait to actually step inside one day lol but their shrimp tempura is by far my most favorite item!!!!! Everything is delicious.“

“awesome sushi place it was yummy“

“One of the best sushi spots in the suburbs 😍“

“we ordered miso soup, house salad, shrimp tempura, and a chicken teriyaki single. All of the food was delicious. The Chicken teriyaki was a little dry for my taste but thats because i love fries with my ketchup like i like chicken with my teriyaki sauce! so this comment is not meant to be a negative comment. It’s more meant to be descriptive. The shrimp tempura’s breading is more corse than other places but again definitely not a negative. just describing. My favorite part though is what is shown in the picture! THANK YOU for the note! I loved it!!!!“

“My first visit to Inovasi and it did not disappoint! Our server Lucia was fantastic- knowledgeable friendly and she helped me find just the right cocktail! We started with their delicious bread, and then had the crispy pork belly for appetizer. For entree we had a filet with shaved truffles and a blackened cod with lime and whipped edamame. Both were superb as was the dessert of flourless chocolate cake with raspberry purée and shipped goats cheese, and a pumpkin cheesecake. All was delicious, and the ambiance and decor was warm and inviting. We will be back!“

“Second visit as good as the first. Fresh ingredients quick service good selections. Several great vegetarian options too! I should have taken a few pix because each plate was artistic. Above all the food was great!“

“The food is amazing! Love the all you can eat setup where they bring you your broth, meat and seafood then you go to the buffet tables and get all the veggies, noodles, and sauces you want. This way you don't have to commit to a large quantity of just a few vegetables. I like it because I don't like mushrooms but my partner loves them so he can get a many as he wants and I can get extra lotus root instead. This is our new favorite place to get hotpot and we will definitely be back to try all the different broths, meats and seafood.“

“Fish in sushi has multiple pieces of bones in. VERY DANGEROUS. COULD CAUSE BOWEL OBSTRUCTION AND DIVERTICULITIS. THE STAFF DOESNT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AT ALL.“
