I waitied a long time and people that prdered after me were getting their food vefore me.
My order was wrong. I didn't look until I got home, but I should've realized because she asked me a question relevant to the order that didn't make sense. Now it makes sense.
Sashimi is overly cold, not exactly thawed. Kind of ruins the texture.

It’s hard to find good, authentic Korean food. I’m not from Naperville, so sometimes I really miss that home cooking! I also appreciate that they don’t alter the authenticity of some dishes, and the family that owns this restaurant will always accommodate. They are the sweetest!

A small hole in the wall!! Talk about authentic, kind AND DELICIOUS??? I usually dont care about service if food is that good, but here???????? 10/10 for everything!!!!!!! Def do party platters here for sushi, such a bang for your buck. Also if youre looking for some home style “grandma cooked this” type of Korean food, come here!!!!
I have picked up from here many times. This last time I placed an order via DoorDash, it stated a pick up time of 7:10-7:15 pm. However upon arriving the establishment was already closed even though the sign on the door and online said 8 pm. Turns out I was charged for the food anyways, upon contacting DoorDash they advised me to reach out to the store directly the next day, so I did. Upon reaching out the staff was rude, unhelpful and would not refund me. I would not recommend this establishment anymore. There are so many sushi restaurants in the area I would rather go to one that is open when they say they are and not refunding me when I never received any food is quite astonishing. It’s nobody’s fault except their own that they closed early.
I ordered the jjamppong and was mostly satisfied. The broth was decent (lacked depth), there was a ton of seafood, but the noodles are what's holding this back. They used thick Japanese udon noodles, which doesn't really fit the dish. If they were to switch it to a thinner wheat or hand pulled noodle it'd be better. Price wise it's the typical price for a bowl of jjamppong ~$16, and the portions decently sized. If I could give this 3.5 stars I would.

Time again and again I come back to Tanaka with NO disappointments. Family ran, quick eats, local amazing restaurant. Love the counter service and how many pics there are for the food! You can’t go wrong!!!
Tanaka Sushi might be an OK take-out place, but dining in was not pleasurable at all. Waiter services are non-existent there and our meal was many times interrupted by the hostess announcing that our food is ready and her demand that we remove our prepared food from the counter - one dish at a time. On the plus side, the premises were clean and not noisy. All in all, that was a strange and not pleasant experience.

Tanaka Sushi provides the quintessential culinary experience featuring authentic Japanese and Korean cuisine. Nestled in a local strip mall along with other small businesses on Ogden Avenue in Lisle, Tanaka Sushi continues to inspire and dazzle multiple generations as a staple in the community with exquisite and traditional delicacies, such as Bulgogi, Bibimbap, Katsu, Kimchi, Fried Rice, Udon, Seafood Noodle and Soft Tofu Soups, Chicken / Salmon / Beef Teriyaki and, of course, my personal favorite, Ramyeon (Korean Ramen), among other delicious, delightful menu items. The Sushi / Sashimi / Maki rolls are created fresh each and every day from the finest ingredients - and with the utmost care, diligence, and consideration. Both dine-in and carryout options are equally viable. For over 20 years (12 years in this current location and 10 years in another strip mall), this fine family-owned establishment has served members of the surrounding western suburban communities, in addition to entertaining visitors from nearby neighborhoods and guests from Chicago, and even patrons from out of state. I was introduced to this remarkable small business, yet delectable giant, during the onset of the pandemic in 2020. And for the past four years, I have ultimately realized that not a finer sushi restaurant exists in the Chicagoland area. The owner (husband, whose caricature also adorns the restaurant’s logo) and short haired cashier (wife) combine to form a truly dynamic duo - specializing in lunch specials, made to order dinner entrees (with special attention given to allergy concerns) and Sushi / Sashimi / Maki party trays, especially on nights and weekends. The owner specifically is a well-traveled pioneer learning his culinary skills overseas and showcasing his talents now in Lisle for all to enjoy. The husband and wife dynamic duo also keep the dining area functioning elegantly and superiorly on a daily basis. There is also a smart, devoted Korean uncle / gentleman whom provides the expertise and fine craftsmanship in terms of successfully fulfilling Door Dash and Uber Eats, as well as dine-in orders, alike. Additionally, the young, very bright, and highly resourceful cashier consistently exhibits exceptional customer service with an extremely friendly disposition characterized by exemplary manners and kind social graces. As you can imagine - Tanaka Sushi is a family-friendly and family inspired restaurant where community, family, and togetherness are emphasized and celebrated over delicious authentic Korean / Japanese food. Beyond these mainstays - Tanaka Sushi also employs a diverse and talented work-staff, including cooks and servers. I am impressed with everyone’s commitment to excellence, as well as the drive and dedication to continuously succeed. As a result, Tanaka Sushi will always remain in my heart with unconditional love. For all reasons stated above and for all those reasons which stand dear to my palate, I highly recommend Tanaka Sushi with a full 5 star rating! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Vegetarian options: Vast selection of sushi rolls are essentially vegetarian. If an item contains meat - accommodations will be made for vegetarian selections. Several menu items are already vegetarian friendly.
Dietary restrictions: As one example - will remove egg from menu items - if specified upon request. Other dietary considerations will also be granted.
Parking: If the lot - which is shared with other businesses is full - you also have the option of parking in the back of the building.
Not the worst Korean/Japanese restaurant but not the best either. It's a bit dirty and it was warm inside and the food was okay. They may have amazing dishes but the ones we ordered were just okay. We probably won't go back anytime soon.
Parking: The lot can fill up pretty quickly bc there are other businesses in the plaza
