“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!“

“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 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 👌“

“Family and I had some great food tonight. Large portions too. Will be back.“

“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!“

“I was craving a nice Poke bowl, and Google led me to this new business in Bartlett. I'm always willing to give a new place a try.We ordered two bowls in total. We love the fact that there is an option for half rice and half green. I ordered my bowl with half rice/half green with salmon with assorted toppings. I especially like the crabmeat salad and seaweed salad in my bowl. Gf ordered hers with salmon with toppings( she likes Avocado). There are 7/8 sauces we can choose from the menu.The staffs were very friendly behind the counter. Overall, I can definitely see myself coming back for more. If you are looking to have a bowl of goodness in your stomach, give this place a shot!“

“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. :)“

“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.“

“We have been coming here for over 10 years and love it! Tuna and salmon sashimi, tuna tempura wraps, angry tuna, raspberry chipotle shrimp, sashimi carpaccio, and the maguro salad are just a FEW of our favs! Hope you love it as much as we have all these years!“
