“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😌”

The staff is quick to serve you and is very friendly and knowledgeable! The entire place is immaculate and tastefully decorated! And the smell of seared tuna and scallops fills the air making way to a pleasant and inviting atmosphere! Well done!”

“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.”

“I love this place so much. The take out is quick, fresh, reasonably priced and SO delicious! My last visit, the chef was literally the server at the same time, I did a walk-in takeout order for Sashimi and it was ready fresh in 10 mins. Tasted incredible. Pro tip: Sometimes their hours aren't accurate on here, I've found them to be actually open a few times when internet said closed, so always worth a phone call attempt first!”

“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!”

Consistent every visit, great portions, and the yum yum sauce alone is worth the trip. If you haven't tried it you're missing out.”

“More people absolutely need to pay Carlos a visit. Immaculate tempura and generally have your order ready quick and fresh. I got the Edomar Tempura plate and loved it. I especially love how when you get the plate they include the grated daikon in your tentsuyu! The only place in the US I've seen even include it. Absolutely try it out if you haven't yet. I highly recommend any combo that includes a shishito pepper with it!”

“I have been to Wu’s House in Merriville, IN and Orlando Park. This location is by far an overachiever. The pond, the bridge the decor inside I felt like I was on vacation. all employees were oh so inviting, but our server his name is Yoga. He put his heart and soul into our service and made our experience extraordinary. I have been having sushi for quite a few years now, but this sushi was the best I’ve ever had. I know that is a bold statement, but oh so true. Our meals were freshly made. The flavors were spot on. I wished I lived next-door so I could go every day. I live in Joliet, but I will be coming here as often as I can. It is well worth the One hour trip. I Pray for your success, you are an asset to the community.”

Basically, everything was very good. Not crowded for a Thursday dinner. Menu had plenty of options. Yep, no pictures. Someday I’ll remember. I don’t eat at restaurants just to review them; I eat at these restaurants because someone in my party made reservations.”

“The bacon with quail eggs is my favorite skewer! The quail egg adds a deep flavor but is balanced out with the bacon. The chicken skewers are consistently good. I personally enjoy the chicken thigh skewers. Also, the sausage skewers are pretty consistent in flavor. I have tried their takoyaki multiple times. I feel it’s a hit-or-miss. Sometimes they are fresh, other times, they are a bit stale. But I still order them. The same goes for their chicken skin skewers - they could also be a hit-or-miss. Overall, whenever I visit Mitsuwa, I always order from Toritetsu. :)”

“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.”

It's the only ramen joint to make it into the Technomic Top 500 restaurants list. What's their secret? Founder Tomo Takahashi reveals.
