My boyfriend and I love sushi and have tried places over the country. This was hands down the best sushi we have ever had. The owner was so kind and even gave us a special role to just try! The salmon was amazing. My favorite roll was The Grinch and his was That roll. We will be back again soon!
This place is absolutely perfect. I had another favorite sushi place in Naperville but then I tried this one and holy cow it’s amazing. I went here twice in one week! Sat at the bar the second time and was able to see them making sushi behind the counter - the coolest guys and the best experience. They don’t take reservations for two so plan ahead if you want to eat here as a couple. Oh and 100% recommend the ice plum wine! Can’t wait to get back here <3

First time last night, and I regret that I just found out about this amazing sushi place! Everyone was so welcoming and polite. The place was very clean, small but with positive energy.We ordered Valentine's specials and ocean rolls. Ocean rolls called for the biss, and we did it.

We found the ultimate sushi restaurant. Jay and his staff work seamlessly to the benefit of their customers. The sushi is fresh, delicious, and some of the best sushi I’ve had in a long time. I would highly recommend going to IKKAI. Great job!

Jay and his team are the best. We have been going here since they took over. We loved how they taken the business to that next level of excellence. Great food. Great service. Great family. Just what a small downtown Naperville needs. Keep up the good work.
Wow. What a secret jem. Absolutely delicious but I would say "hold the smoke" when ordering the o'toro.

Fish quality is inconsistent and has gone down over the years. During my most recent visit, the service was as expected and the shrimp tempura roll was fine. But the nori in the spicy tuna roll was too hard to chew and the texture was off. The tuna was overworked making it mealy and mushy.On my visit before this one, the nigiri was decent but the uni was not fresh with that bummer of an aftertaste that you don’t want with MP uni.In winter, they need a winter vestibule, space heaters, or at the very least, lap blankets like ski town restaurants. It’s way too cold to eat without wearing your coat, and your legs are cold the entire time. Even the men had their coats on.I want nothing more than for independent, hip cute spots like Ikkai to exist in Naperville, but the quality of the ingredients can’t be compromised. I’m really rooting for Ikkai to ramp up the ingredient quality again and continue to refine and sharpen up on a few sushi techniques and skills (rice, temperatures, cutting/slicing etc).
