“I have been coming here for years and Ruma Izakaya remains my favorite Japanese spot in the area. From the sushi to the entree’s, sides, incredible miso soup, and smoothies, Runa Izakaya wins my heart and my stomach over every time! Thank you for great service and even better food! 12/10 recommend😊“

“Went to Tokyo yesterday the sushi was excellent and service was excellent. Atmosphere is very good. Prices are very good also. Will definitely return“

“Stopped in from out of town, but growing up in Tinley Park I know the smaller places are some of the best places when it comes to Chinese as well as pizza. This place hit the spot and the price was amazing! I know where I’ll be coming from now on when I’m in town“

“Great cocktails! The Spicy-Mango San is my fave 🥭 Rolls are amazing. A few faves: Chicago Fire, White Street, Mr. Miyagi. Nice to have somewhere this good so close!“

“THE BEST time we have had at a restaurant - ever! Food was delicious, drinks were great and the people were SO friendly and funny; had such a delicious meal and great time! Will come back again and again and tell EVERYONE we know to Zuki! Cant say enough great things about our experience!“

“Unassuming exterior will make you think it’s not a top tier sushi spot but oh you would be wrong! I order here every time I’m in Alsip and it is consistently fresh and delicious! It’s the only place I’ve found that has low carb options that are not just sashimi too. My go to are the Yellowtail Jalapeño appetizer and the Rainbow Naruto roll with a seaweed salad. Love this place!“

“After 12+ years of coming here, I can confidently say this place is special. The food is incredible every single time, the service is warm and friendly, and the owners are amazing people—so kind and truly appreciative of their customers. Places like this are rare, and it’s why I keep coming back year after year.“

“Good flavor and service. Kelab was so nice and friendly.“

“We recently visited for my bday on 5/31. The decor is beautiful and the service was stellar! Everyone was attentive and friendly. Our hibachi chef was amazing. He was extremely entertaining and super accommodating. He made our hibachi dinner experience the best we have ever had. The food was perfect and great portion sizes. My son even ordered Spider rolls and said they were amazing! My two teens and 1yr old enjoyed it immensely! Thank you all for the great celebration. We will be back for sure!!! Highly recommend to all!!“

“Came here for my birthday expecting a traditional hibachi experience. One thing to note is that the hibachi is not cooked in front of you, which was surprising and not clearly communicated beforehand.

That said, the food itself was excellent. The quality was high, everything was flavorful, and the portions were solid.

The main disconnect was just the expectation vs. experience. If you’re coming specifically for the classic hibachi show and tableside cooking, this isn’t that. But if you’re simply looking for good-quality food, it definitely delivers.

Overall, I’d recommend being aware of the format going in — great food, just not a traditional hibachi experience.“

“I BEEN TO THIS PLACE A FEW TIMES AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. I ALWAYS BUY THE CHICKEN TERIYAKI THE CHICKEN IS TENDER PLENTY OF RICE AND THE SAUCE IS DELICIOUS. YOU CAN ALWAYS REQUEST EXTRA SAUCE ONCE IT IS COOKED. THE SAUCE IS WHAT MAKES THIS MEAL. SOME OF THE CASHIERS ARE MORE FRIENDLIER THAN OTHERS. BUT I JUST ENJOY COMING TO THIS FAST FOOD JOINT IT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE USUAL BURGERS AND CHICKEN PLACES.

Vegetarian options: ASK AND U WILL RECEIVE“

“Food is fresh and excellent. I find it to be one of the best in the area. Non greasy, good flavor, service is ok, but when they attend to you, you have their undivided attention. I have been there a few times, and it does not vary. It is also very clean, with large tables and booths.“

“On Thursday, 5/30, my wife and I had dinner at the restaurant. Our favorite server, Rita, was assisting us. During our meal, we witnessed a front desk employee yelling at Rita and slamming his hands on the table, causing a significant disturbance that was noticeable to many patrons. Despite this unprofessional behavior, Rita maintained her composure and continued to provide exceptional service. Her professionalism and dedication to her customers were commendable. We will definitely return, thanks to Rita's outstanding service.“
