“Had some frustrations with this place. It's a family favorite. Been a number of years after some less then thrilling experiences. Went there tonight after a long hiatus, two years, wildly excited with the new vibe and what must be new management. Great experience, food was wonderful. Clean, bright delicious. Will be back! Thank you for dinner tonight. Was great!”

“Sushi lover here. Ordered couple times 3 rolls lunch special and it was great. The quality of the rolls is top notch. Today I went to try the signature nigiri and Ari maki along with their house sake and it was just amazing. Make sure to try the Zuke salmon nigiri, Yellowtail signature nigiri and the Big eye tuna nigiri as well. They are all wow😌”

“I stopped by K Teriyaki in Niles and tried the Chicken Teriyaki lunch special. I placed my order at 11:46 and received it at 12:02, so the wait was pretty reasonable. They also have an online ordering option if you’re short on time. As far as the food goes, I’d put it on the higher end of middle-of-the-road for me. It’s not the best teriyaki I’ve ever had, but it’s certainly not the worst. The chicken had a slight char, which I enjoyed, and the steamed vegetables—cabbage, broccoli, and carrots—were still crunchy rather than overcooked. I also like that the teriyaki sauce comes on the side instead of the chicken being covered in it. You can add as much or as little as you want, which gives you more control over the calories and can be helpful for people with dietary restrictions. It’s a family-friendly spot, too, with high chairs and booster seats available right by the door. They have five lunch specials, and I’ve decided I’m going to work my way through all of them. The Chicken Teriyaki was a solid start and landed on the higher end of middle-of-the-road for me. I’m looking forward to trying the other four to see which one comes out on top.”

“Now one of my favorite restaurants! My friend and I came in for dinner, and everything was amazing! The atmosphere was so inviting and warm, the food was fresh and tasty, the complementary tea was super delicious, and the owner/chef/waitress was so kind and an absolute gem! I had the beef bento box, and it was hot and fresh and extremely good. There is so much food you get in each of the bentos! My friend had the chicken katsu dinner and it was the best katsu we've ever had. Absolute recommend to anyone wanting some comforting Japanese food.”

“Everything was absolutely delicious! The grilled mackerel was the highlight of the meal—so juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We also loved the gyoza, which were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor. The miso soup was fresh, comforting, and a perfect start to the meal. The Daikiri Salad was also excellent—fresh, light, and a great complement to the rest of the dishes. Everything tasted fresh and was beautifully prepared. We will definitely be coming back to try more dishes from the menu. Highly recommend this place!”

“I am not local, this is a regular go-to place for a friend, so when I visit with her, she wants to bring me. I had a Chinese Eggplant with chicken dish, flavorful and spicy. Also had some nigiri sushi, all very good. The Black Tobiko was plentiful and fresh. The Tamago and Inari, which are types of sushi that are deceptively simple seeming but really show a chef's knowledge and artistry, were excellent. I'm sure I will go again.”

Everything is incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The menu is so extensive and full of amazing choices that you literally want to try everything! You can truly taste the quality and care that goes into every dish. It's rare to find a place where the food is this consistently impressive.

“Wow!!! What a treat. The CYO bowls are my way to go because they let you decide exactly what you were going to get. If you don't want to go to the create your own route they have eight signature bowls that you can choose from. They also have a Bento Box that you can choose from or create on your own as well. For kids they offer a kids box for $11 which offers chicken beef tofu all Teriyaki style orange style or tempura. They have a ton of different sides from sushi rice to house salads to edamame to gyoza. What I really like so is the sunset cup, as it's a half a bowl with all the fixings at half the price. This place is very solid and the prices are on point as the servings are enormous... Plus the fact that you get free parking right outside and makes it a very easy option for lunch or dinner.”

Their Cucumber & Japanese Mint salad is also one of a kind and always order it. A real gem of a sushi spot in downtown Des Plaines and worth a trip from neighboring cities to experience.”

“Great service and atmosphere. The service is always attentive and polite. The decor and ambiance is great for date nights or just a chill dinner The food is the only thing that gets a star off. I wasn’t expecting the ramen to be rocking for a sushi place but it was lukewarm warm and not very flavourful. Along with the stray nigiri being crazy fishy or rubbery. Otherwise their rolls and sashimi are pretty great, along with their banging fried rice. Highly recommend stopping by!”

“The greeter seemed to not wanna be there, possibly from the attitude of the other staff, while she was trying to get us setup another dude jumped in and interrupted and took over. Figure out who does what. I also found some bogus transaction on my card from this day, and the only time anyone ever took my card from me was from this restaurant I ended up with an uber charge but I DRIVE MY OWN CAR! this is the only time I had anyone else touch my card this day so is someone back there taking card information? has anyone else experienced this from this place? check your transaction history if this is a trend its gonna be a problem, if not perhaps a different vendor is doing it, eitherway its unproven yet so it doesnt affect my rating, if someone does get a bogus charge after going here, can you post it on a review so we can see a pattern.”

“This restaurant has been a longtime favorite for our friends and family, especially when we’re craving sushi! 🍣❤ The interior has been expanded several times, so there’s plenty of comfortable seating, although it was completely packed when we visited on a Saturday night. Everything we ordered was consistently delicious, from the spicy kinoko, buta kimchi, ika butter, and karaage to the must-try carpaccio. 😋 The sushi and sashimi are always incredibly fresh! What really makes this place special is the loyal staff-many sushi bar and kitchen employees have been here since the early days, which gives the food a truly authentic and consistent taste. Annie at the front is always so warm and welcoming, making every visit feel like dinner at a relative’s home. 🥰🍱✨”

“Really good place! I was expecting generic Chinese but I was pleasantly surprised. I asked the owner if the egg foo young was made with real eggs, or eggs from a carton. He was kind of shocked at the notion he would use eggs from a carton and assured me it was made with fresh eggs and freshly-made vegetables, like he would not be caught dead doing it any other way. That gave me a good feeling about the place - he clearly had pride in what he does. We had a vegetarian and a celiac in the party and he was very understanding and respectful of their needs. We are picky eaters but were all very happy with our meals, which were really good. Big portions too!”

“Nobori Sushi is a sleek, welcoming spot that blends traditional Japanese charm with a modern, relaxed vibe. The sushi here is consistently fresh and beautifully presented — every roll feels thoughtfully crafted rather than rushed. The Nigiri and sashimi stand out in particular, with melt-in-your-mouth texture and clean, balanced flavors. Service is polite and attentive without being overbearing, and the staff seems genuinely proud of what they serve. The menu offers a nice mix of creative rolls alongside classic favorites, and the prices feel fair for the quality you’re getting. The ambiance is calm and intimate, perfect for either a quiet dinner or a casual night out. If anything, a few of the cooked dishes could use a touch more seasoning, but that’s a minor note in an otherwise excellent meal. Overall, Nobori Sushi earns a solid four stars — a dependable go-to for quality sushi, great service, and a pleasant dining experience.”

“Got Pork Tonkatsu with house sauce curry. Was $16.99. Came with 2 pork cutlets, good helping of rice, and a salad with what tasted like thousand island dressing. Pork was crispy and tender, sause was a slightly sweeter curry, rice was well cooked. Over all great price for food. Lady at counter was very polite and food took about 8min to cook. Would recommend”

Remember the "ramen wars" a few years back? Well, we might have a winner. Jinya Ramen Bar is slurping up success, becoming the second-fastest growing full-service Asian restaurant in the U.S. In 2023, this Tokyo-born (and Los Angeles-based) chain grew by 30.2%, second only to KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot. It's the only ramen joint to make it into the Technomic Top 500 restaurants list. What's their secret? Founder Tomo Takahashi reveals.

The conveyor belt sushi chain Kura Revolving Sushi Bar has huge growth plans for 2024.

"Our organization has demonstrated that it's more than capable of meeting that challenge year after year, and we're excited to keep delivering on that," said CEO Hajime "Jimmy" Uba.
