38 Best Sushi Bars near Lake Zurich

“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“

“The food and service were both quite good“

“The food and service are great!“

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

“I made my first visit to Prime Sushi & Ramen today. It won't be my last. I ordered negihama maki (yellowtail roll) and salmon roll for pickup. My order was ready on time, the portions of fish were high quality and generous, and they got my special request (no wasabi) right. I haven't had the dine-in experience yet, but they occupy the former Amore Mio space, which is lovely. I'm delighted to have another fine restaurant in that space, and I look forward to becoming a regular!“

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

“I love this place so much. The take out is quick, fresh, reasonably priced and SO delicious! My last visit, the chef was literally the server at the same time, I did a walk-in takeout order for Sashimi and it was ready fresh in 10 mins. Tasted incredible. Pro tip: Sometimes their hours aren't accurate on here, I've found them to be actually open a few times when internet said closed, so always worth a phone call attempt first!“

“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.“

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

“One of our favorite go-to spots! Everything is consistently delicious—the rolls are amazing, and the chicken and pork katsu are hands down some of our favorites. They put their own unique spin on the sauces, and it really takes everything to the next level. Also, the salad and dressing are super fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend Hakuya!“

“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!“

“If you want the very best sushi go to Taste of Tokyo! We can’t say enough about how nice, friendly, and creative the owners and their staff are! If they don’t have something on their sushi menu that you want, then just ask! And they will gladly make it! If you want to relax with comfortable seats, great background music, reasonable prices, then visit Taste of Tokyo! If you love to support small businesses in your community then visit Taste Of Tokyo! We are just so grateful for them and their Great Foods!“

“Modern decor, great service, excellent meal. Nice couples place. Not sure what to get? Our server gave us great recommendations. Will be back.“

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

“Bowlful of Korea is such a cute little spot! The restaurant is nicely decorated, clean, and has a really welcoming atmosphere. There’s also plenty of parking, which is always a plus since it’s conveniently located right next to a Jewel-Osco. Only downside is that there is two individual bathrooms which I could foresee being an issue if the place is packed.

The restaurant is self-serve and kiosk-style. You place your order at the kiosk, grab a number, and sit at any available table. They’ll bring your food directly to you, so the process is super easy and convenient. There’s also a designated area where you can grab water and utensils yourself.

One thing I thought was a really nice touch is that they have an additional private room on the side that’s available to rent for events. I could definitely see this being a great option for birthday parties, bridal showers, intimate gatherings, or other small celebrations.

We ordered three things: Chicken Katsu – $14 and two Assorted Sashimi Bowl – $21 each. Everything we tried was delicious and came in generous portions. I especially appreciated how fresh and balanced the bowls felt, with a great variety of vegetables alongside the protein. The meals felt filling without being overly heavy, and there was a nice variety of ingredients in every bowl.“

“Absolutely incredible experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The atmosphere is a solid 10/10, the interior and design are 10/10, and the food is simply on another level.

I ordered the Snow Crab Salad, and it was an absolute 10/10 — fresh, perfectly balanced, and bursting with flavor. The Sea Bass was just as impressive: beautifully prepared, incredibly flavorful, and cooked to perfection.

Both dishes completely blew me away. Every bite hit every taste bud and delivered layer after layer of flavor. This wasn't just a good meal — it was the kind of food you remember long after you leave.

Atmosphere: 10/10
Interior: 10/10
Food: 10/10
Overall experience: 10/10

Absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this place!“

“Love that they offer so many vegan options here. I come here for specialty itmes that I can't find anywhere else. They have vegan donuts, croissants, cookies, and more. They used to have vegan tamales which were great but I haven't seen them in a while. Good place for a variety of food!“

“My wife and I totally enjoyed their food. We were a bit surprised to see that the AYCE went up to $28.99. We will go back.“

“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 grateful for the gluten-free options offered here. I enjoyed the chicken Mei fun and sweet and sour chicken.“

“Hanakawa is my comfort food spot, no question. Their fried rice with the yum yum sauce is what I order every single time, honestly haven't branched out because why mess with perfection. Consistent every visit, great portions, and the yum yum sauce alone is worth the trip. If you haven't tried it you're missing out.“

“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!“

“delicioso! 100% recomendado“

“Ordered carry-out from the Vernon Hills location and loved it! Fantastic quality ramen, flavorful broth and still hot after getting it home. Miso Ramen and Taiwan Ramen are fantastic, but beware that single pepper icon, because it’s no joke! (And I say this as someone who grew up eating spicy food 🙂) Delicious, but intense! I would LOVE to see a milder version of the Taiwan Ramen (or at least a way to adjust the heat, like the Spicy Miso), because the flavor was truly amazing and addictive.“

“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+.“

“Good, friendly service. Good sushi. Fun place to eat sushi with family and friends.“

“Everything was excellent!!!“

“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❤️“

“It's a great local restaurant for birthdays and other events!! Delicious food and wine as well as wonderful service!!“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere and food“

“This is one of my go to places for authentic Chinese food! Their egg rolls and orange chicken are delicious with Great portions at a reasonable price. My waiter was super friendly and always tried to create conversation with us. Highly recommend this place!“

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

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

“Our favorite sushi restaurant, been going for 21 years, we love Mrs. Chen and crew!!“

“delicioso! 100% recomendado“

“Empire Buffet is easily one of the best buffet experiences around. The selection here is massive and far beyond what you’d expect from a typical buffet.

What Sets It Apart
- Incredible Seafood Selection: Massive variety including crab, lobster, and clams that make it truly unique in the buffet space.
- Real Sushi Bar: They serve legitimate sushi, rolls, and sashimi rather than basic, run-of-the-mill buffet sushi.
- Peak Freshness & Temperature: Because the restaurant is large and constantly full, food turnover is fast. Hot dishes stay hot and cold items stay cold.
- Attentive Staff: There are tons of employees continuously monitoring the trays. Someone stays stationed at the buffet at all times calling back low items to ensure everything is promptly restocked.

Atmosphere & Timing
It is a bit on the pricier side, but the quality and selection make it well worth the cost. The restaurant is almost always packed, often with a line out the door. We stopped by at 3:00 PM hoping to beat the lunch and dinner rush; while we were seated right away, the dining room was still 100% full! It's also a popular spot for celebrations where they bring a fun signboard to your table and play a special birthday song over the speakers.

The dessert section is good, but not quite at the elite level of their seafood and hot bars.

Overall, the quality and variety are fantastic. I barely scratched the surface of everything they offer and will definitely be back anytime I'm in the area!“
