44 Best Japanese Restaurants near Mundelein

“At times this place can be short staffed and take a while to be sat , get your order and food . But the wait is totally worth it . I always get the spicy chicken ramen and it does not disappoint. I always come back and it always hits the spot .“

“A good option

Let's start with the food; They have quite a variety of food, good quality ingredients although nothing different or a reference point, I consider that their quality-cost-portion ratio is still in good balance, I would recommend perhaps improving the speed in food preparation a little .

Service, just good, nothing bad, nothing to highlight, it only remains as something that would not provide added value.

Regarding the environment, it is good, enough spaces for people, you can interact with the people you go to without any restrictions, you can go with your family, friends without any problem.“

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

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

“Thank you Tony and Young for sharing cheer every year for my birthday since 2006!! Every memory with you both has made my life better!! Teaching me how to clean my grill to how to make the best rice!!! You both have touched many lives and gave lake county excellent Golden Shrimp to teriyaki sauce!!! Every meal of Filet Mignon combination Golden Shrimp with a side order of Golden Shrimp has been perfect and the same for 17 years! I am glad you both get to rest and relax after the New Year!!!! I will miss you both moving to Dubuque, purchasing cups and plates makes me feel like I’m there even more!!! ❤️“

“Impeccable food, and some of the best service we’ve had in a very long time. We were looking for a sushi place to kill time while waiting for our kid and this far exceeded our expectations. What a gem! The food is amazing and the service is just so good we couldn’t believe it. They’re all so nice!“

“Food is amazing, Kenny was our chef and he was great! It as our first time doing hibachi and they definitely made an effort to show us a good time. Steak was the best thing we had ordered, it is pricy but definitely worth it for when u want a fancy night out.“

“Pleasantly surprised by the ambiance, food and service. I had the poke bowl which was awesome, but my favorite item was the crab rangoon. They were made like pastries (instead of the crunchy cream cheese style ones) and were phenomenal. I'd highly recommend trying them out for yourself.“

“Great sushi and food around! Price is amazing! Friendly staff (owner)!“

“This is the BEST sushi place I have been to. My wife and I have been coming regularly for the past year and have never had a bad experience. The staff are incredibly friendly, everyone greets you when you walk in and walk out. It’s a real special place.
The food is amazing too!!! Out of all the sushi places we have visited, this is number one and has become our go to place.
Do yourself a favor and order the miso soup! It’s the best!!“

“The food and service are great!“

“Everything was excellent!!!“

“Food tasted great! Friendly staff and amazing service. Will be back!“

“I really enjoyed my dinner at Tokio Sake. I ordered a volcano roll, and it was enough to
feed two people. The quality of the food was 5 stars! The presentation was artistic, and my server was attentive. The restaurant was very full on a Saturday night, which is a testament to the place. I had not eaten here before but will definitely come back! The ambiance is very nice as well. Great dining experience 👌“

“This unassuming sushi restaurant offers incredible sushi and exceptional service.I always feel welcomed by friendly faces. The servers are highly attentive, noticing when drinks are running low or when plates are finished.The restaurant itself is casual and small, but offers a cozy environment for a meal in small groups.There is a nice variety of appetizers. I love the asparagus beef roll, it’s without a doubt the best asparagus negimaki I’ve ever had.The sushi is high quality and fairly priced. Itamae diligently prepare the sushi from a small counter in the center of the restaurant, welcoming and thanking diners as they enter and leave.The menu offers a wide variety of maki, from simple California rolls to complex creations like the Sato roll. I keep coming back for the sweet potato roll, with immense flavor despite simplicity, and the delicious spicy tuna crunch roll. These rolls are edible works of art.Asahi is simply the best.“

“I dined here at the sushi bar for the first time this year (Saturday night, 11-9-2024)! I usually order about $100-$200 of take out! It was a GREAT experience! The main dining room was PACKED, so thankfully, I had the sushi bar area to myself! Anyway, for appetizers, I had the Golden Lobster, Golden Shrimp and Shrimp Shumai Dumplings (which were so pillowy soft and delicious)! Then for entree, I had a Salmon Skin Handroll, Spicy Tuna Handroll, and a ton of nigiri: Uni/Sea Urchin, Salmon, Fatty Salmon, Tuna, Fatty Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Mackerel, Ikura/Salmon Roe, Spicy Tobiko/Flying Fish Roe, and Tamago/Scrambled Egg! My total bill was $190!!! It was well worth it because I had the sushi bar area to myself, got to watch these cool blues videos on the flat screen TV, and have a nice time talking with Owner/Executive Chef Mr. Lee! I will, of course, be back for more awesome sushi! By the way, you can only dine in on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights! You can do take out on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights! They're closed on Mondays!“

“The food and service is amazing! I come frequently and have always had a positive experience. The food is of great quality and always really tasty. The presentation of their food is very pretty and the interior decor is also very vibrant and cozy, adding to the wholesome atmosphere. Overall, it's a spot I genuinely recommend.“

“Are you in the mood for sea food? One of the best local restaurant Umai Sushi & Hibachi has great selections of sea food dishes and sushi. We order takeout once in while and always have a great experience, the ingredients are always fresh and we are always craving more. Highly recommended 👌 👍“

“Always great entertainment and food!!!“

“Just went last night and happy to say that it is finally improving after hitting a slump during the pandemic. The food has always been excellent but service is spotty. Last night, I would give a solid A- for service, and the food, an A+! Hope they keep the upward trend!“

“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“

“Very kind gentleman who offered a sample of teriyaki chicken… That what got me to get food here lol. He was quick and piled as much food as humanly possible into the box. They definitely make sure you have enough for lunch AND dinner (if you can’t finish it all in one sitting). Good price for the amount of food you get, definitely recommend.“

“awesome sushi place it was yummy“

“I live in Sheboygan falls and i was in the area and decided to give it a shot for lunch. The girl with the glasses and tattoos at the register was very friendly. I asked her what she suggested and she recommended the spicy chicken with fried rice, or the chicken teriyaki with white rice. I took the spicy suggestion and OH MY GOODNESS. It was so good. I was just going to get a drink and she suggested I get an eggroll as well. It came with this sauce that was AMAZING. They need to open one of these places around me! I'll definitely back when I'm in the area! 10/10!“

“Amazing quality sushi!! Very friendly staff!! 10 stars“

“Amazing food and service. I drove in from Chicago to take my mom out for her birthday. Living in Chicago I am used to good food. I was pleasantly surprised at how great everything there was. There were five of us and we each enjoyed what we ordered. We ordered both from the Thai and the Japanese menu. we plan to go back. The weight staff was very attentive.“

“Stopped by on Wednesday 02/06! And was greeted and attended by Mercedes. She was SUPER kind and attentive with my order! Very grateful she took my needs seriously since I fast on Wednesday's/Friday's & can only eat vegan. She went above & beyond to make sure my needs were meet! & as I was waiting I noticed how clean the area is. & once I got my order it came out so fresh; plan on visiting again! & thank you for the great experience!“

“This place was no joke the best thai food I have ever had. We went twice in two days. The thai iced coffee, sushi, pad thai, sesame seed chicken, and chicken gyoza were amazing. Crab Rangoons were the best we had ever eaten. Every employee was courteous and super friendly!“

“Our family has been coming here for over a decade; at least a couple of times/month. Every single time the food has been consistently great and the sushi is fresh. The staff know exactly who I am when I am there and always get the “Red Carpet” treatment.“

“Top Notch!! Soon fun!! Staff is great, atmosphere is great... fun for kids and family and friends. Highly recommend!!“

“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“

“great place to eat, very good service and very large portions. loved it here“

“Standard sushi place with AYCE. It's decent and a good deal. The food is average sushi, nothing great but nothing bad, if it wasn't AYCE I probably would choose a different place, they charge for hot tea and it's flavorless, so maybe avoid that.“

“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.“

“The food and service were both quite good“
