50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Wood Dale

“It’s so so good 😃 Th good is Amazing“

“We started with the vegetable tempura. The veggies were fresh, lightly battered and perfectly cooked. We ordered three different types of rolls, Boston, Sweet potato and shrimp tempura, all were fresh and had excellent flavor. We also had the steak ramen, spectacular! This is the best Japanese restaurant anywhere! Fantastic experience all around. Well done Tekka!!“

“Love this place! The food was delicious with amazing presentation. It's very clear the chefs put careful detail into every menu item and is one of the best veggie maki rolls I've ever had from a restaurant. The service was great and staff made my experience enjoyable along with the amazing food prepared, I highly recommend trying this restaurant!“

“Best omakase menu in the suburbs.“

“Always a dining experience for my tastebuds. The service, the food, the ambience. You couldn’t ask for more. The sushi rice is, hands down, the best we’ve ever had. Questions answered, recommendations given, new adventures with unknown cuisine. This is our go to for the authentic taste of Japan.“

“豐富美味價格合宜，算是道地日本拉麵。服務很好，工作人員很友善！“

“In town from MN, and saw this place on Google. Glad we did it was amazing. Place was busy which means you know it's good, so we got take out. They even through in a couple appetizers for free. Sushi and Sashimi plater for 2 was amazing.“

“Very nice, hardworking staff and delicious food! Love this place and highly recommend!! 😋👍“

“Manooben is the cutest little hole-in-the-wall! It's cozy, homey, and owned by the sweetest Korean mama and papa. The kind of place that makes you feel at home. The name of the restaurant is an acronym for maki, noodle, and bento lol. So cute.

I tried the hand roll combo. Two massive hand rolls, packed with fresh ingredients, and a bowl of homemade udon that hit all the spot. The broth was simple but flavorful. It was clean and refreshingly light. The hand rolls were absolutely perfect. I'd go weekly for this combo if this place was near my workplace.

I also tried the spring train maki. The texture and flavors were solid, but those rolls are so fat and hearty, it will fill your whole mouth with every bite. You can really feel the love from the papa chef with those fat cuts.

Lastly, I tried the sashimi rice (Hwedupbap). The bowl was massive, and I wanted one at home so bad. This dish is also very simple, fresh sashimi over rice, drizzled with their homemade sauce. I love a good homemade sauce. I ended up squeezing that sauce onto every bite cause I love my food saucy.

Such a small place, full of love! I can't wait to go back.“

“We wanted to try a new place tonight and this was perfect! The food was amazing, the service was great! Even my picky son loooved his ramen and he usually never drinks like soup or broth and he literally drinking the bowl. Definitely will be back!“

“Delicious poke bowl! Fast delivery!“

“This is absolutely a one of a kind experience! My mother and I did the “Decadent Omakase” as it was our first visit. Lee, our waiter was amazing. All of the staff that helped us were so informative and kind! The flavor in each selection was beyond this world. It was pricey but worth every single penny. I have never had a better experience in my life. The Omakase was EIGHT COURSES. Every one being perfectly curated. I cannot wait to go back.“

“the food is yummy / authentic japanese ! the service is great ,“

“I ordered takeout from here because I saw it was a local place and it did not disappoint! I tried the lobster roll, and it was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The portion size was generous, and getting three rolls for just $25 felt like an incredible deal. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Folks, this is the real deal. All the food was great. I'm pretty sure the chef is Japanese. I say so because they have authentic items like Nira Tama and Kampyou Maki (both fabulous, by the way) that you won't see on the menu at other places. They also had Iichiko (wheat shouchu (think vodka)), and they were happy to make me an oolong wari. Loved it!“

“Royce chocolate and cookies is located inside of mitsuwa along with several high end vendors and shops. Royce doesn't disappoint. Paris was extremely helpful and went over all of the offerings that Royce had. I ended up getting the variety pack because I couldn't make up mind. Great gifts for the adventurous tongue and even for someone with a sweet tooth. The have adorable pink gift bags to make it for a quick pick up. I absolutely recommend the fromage blanc chips, they are delicious and daring at the same time!“

“Spicy miso Ramen, so good“

“perfect foods...great decorations.. nice price...“

“Great food. Excellent friendly service.“

“Warm, cozy, and slightly upscale. The izakaya has karaoke rooms available for rent, but the vibe of the place is great for ordering a few beers, some karaage, and whatever's on special (check their Instagram).Don't forget to bring something to read. They use great coffee beans and have good pour over technique if you get a cup of coffee to cap your meal.Haven't checked out any of the live Jazz or classical music but it sounds interesting!“

“Good food for a great price. Service was fine, not friendly, not rude, but very quick and competent.
Trust me on this, get the noodles, oh yes yummy. And add veggies, very satisfying. Hubs agrees.
I was happily surprised by the amount of well made food for the price. And made quickly.“

“First time going here was amazing, staff was great and very respectful, and don’t even get me started on the ramen, everything about it was amazing from the taste to the look. But yeah honestly great place to grab ramen.“

“I took a few moments of respite from my quest to be a great person to go to this great Japanese-influenced food place.
The meal I had was very good and inexpensive. It was a very good ramen. There were also good fried ingredients, the fried egg was crazy as the young people who are hungry for crazy things say. However I give 0/20 to the fried fish.
But I still give 19/20 to the whole meal which was super banger.
The only downside and one point less is that there is clearly no place to eat your super yum meal: "(please think about putting more chairs or tables or benches or anything (not a suitcase or a mini pistachio, neither of these would be useful in this situation)

Banco for this place yum.
Goodbye UwU

Vegetarian options: Rice and miso“

“Fresh, Fresh, Fresh Seafoods! Great Service! Tasty foods.“

“Really cute Japanese place close to the airport, our actual plan was to get Halal pizza from Girodano’s but had to change our plans and the wife picked this place at a walking distance.

Her favourite thing was the “spicy fire” appetiser, which is made with cream cheese, jalapeno and salmon. We also had the spicy ramen noodle soup and the yakisoba (another noodle dish but stir fry).

Cozy ambiance inside and the service is really good too. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to have sth asian“

“We've gotten take-out three times now and the food is consistently hot and delicious, and prepared very quickly. Staff is friendly over the phone and at the front desk. We have closer options for Japanese food but Umai is SO worth the drive! Highly recommend!“

“First time going here was amazing, staff was great and very respectful, and don’t even get me started on the ramen, everything about it was amazing from the taste to the look. But yeah honestly great place to grab ramen.“

“They had yakitori, which I tried. I ordered the chicken thigh, pork belly, and sausage. Everything is cooked to perfection and smells good from the charcoal fire. The pork belly is my favorite because of the fat, the meat was crispy and tender. I ordered the karaage don (mayo & poached egg) as my main course. I believe the teriyaki sauce was overdone. As a result, the chicken lost its crunch.“

“its so good and many to choose from. This would be a good place to go eat especially on date night.“

“I've been going to this place in the mall since I was a kid. Now I honestly make trips to the mail just to pickup food from here. The chicken teriyaki is always what my family gets. They love it with white rice and vegetables. I usually opt for the shrimp with white rice, and vegetables. The app they have is great, you can place an order ahead of time and show up to pick it up. You no longer have to wait in the long line, to order. The food is the same, the hot sauce which made the food next level seems to have been discontinued, through no fault of their own. They have small packets now. Food is still good, and service is always great and fast.“

“The lady behind the counter was ready to take my order as soon as I walked up, she was very pleasant. I ordered #1 teriyaki with white rice and veggies + extra protein. It came out to 13.33$, more than fair price for the portion I recieved. Cook got to working it right away and it came out fresh. I could barely close the plate with how much chicken was on it. Everything was hot and great tasting just how I remember Sarku to be. Shame this is one of the last few locations available. I’ve been to this location once or twice before but definitely will keep it in mind more often.“

“Very good quality fish. great service“

“Tantan noodles was delicious.
Surprisingly, I didn't expect that tasty soup bowl at a food court restaurant.
The broth was rich and full of taste.
The greens were fresh, noodles were cooked well, and even the ramen egg, which I normally skip, was good.
I really enjoyed my lunch bowl.“

“Love, love, love this place! After a long time, Teriyaki Madness has finally reopened! Long thought to be gone for good they opened just this past weekend and the food is just as good as ever.

Fresh, hot and hella delicious. Can't recommend the Spicy Chicken bowl with rice n veggies enough, and be sure to try the chicken potstickers.

The staff were nice and friendly and the restaurant clean and in good order. Be sure to stop by if you are in the area!“

“My co workers recommendation was spot on. You get miso soup and salad included with the Maki Rolls! I had the Miami . It was totally delicious and at $11:00 Such a value!“

“Phenomenal in a true gem in the Hoffman Estates area. The crabcake is to die for. Some of the best sushi that I’ve eaten all around. Very reasonably priced super tentative staff. If you have the opportunity to eat here, take it.“

“Best sushi in Schaumburg! Fresh and delicious, as well as innovative rolls! The new owners are doing a great job holding Joe’s standard.“

“Just recently moved to Bloomingdale. First time trying this restaurant. It was by far the best Chinese food we have ever had! Shrimp fried rice actually had a lot of shrimp. All the food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be making this our go-to restaurant for Chinese food.“

“Food was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“Delicious food and good ambiance“

“amazing all you can eat wagyu and snow crab shabushabu!“

“My food was very yummy, the staff and service was also top notch!“

“I find some of the low reviews here baffling. I think some people may be confusing this restaurant with other Chinese restaurants due to its rather non descript name. Make no mistake, the food here is excellent and punches way above its price point.Coming in the first time I was pessimistic. It seemed your standard pre prepared food menu ready to dish out quickly to the lunch crowd panda express style. I quickly became a huge fan after eating large well prepared portions I would expect from a normal sit down restaurant. Yes it's your standard generic fare but made so much better.Great food, great price. Appreciate these places, the owners care about making something good.“

“Ordering through this restaurant is an introvert's dream. You mainly order through a kiosk and I was able to customize my order to my liking. Looking back, I wish I had added more curry to my dish.I got the chicken katsu curry w/ extra rice, 10 gyoza on the side to share and a water bottle. Food was fantastic and I actually took home leftovers, (which were fantastic leftovers btw). I spent about 30 bucks on my food, however you're near Chicago, so what do you expect?Others complained about wait time, however I came with a group of people, so it worked out as I was able to locate a table while I waited for my food. The kiosk also asked for my phone number so to text me with my order number and to tell me when it was ready.“

“My husband and I recently discovered this gem!!! We don't live in Glen Ellyn and we started coming in July and have already been back 8 times! The fish is the freshest, the rolls/sashimi beyond delicious, the service and all the staff are always so nice and thoughtful. we can't wait to reserve their private seating floor room soon too. Highly recommend.“

“Delicious! I went to dinner out with my son for the first time in this place and I recommend it ! Good sushi, cozy place and nice service!!“

“I’ve seen there place my whole life and never went till today. It was really good and had awesome staff. Sushi 10/10 will come again.“

“Just ordered BNK today for carryout and was so pleased with the portion sizes and the food was so fresh and made to order! I'll be back!“

“Amazing food, made to order!! Delicious and fast please tip the servers well!! They deserve it“

“Wow just wow. This is my first time trying sushi in American and if its this good i will never go back to my own country. Everything is fresh and yummy. The nicest and most caring Staff i ever experianced. I believe the waitress is the owner and she is the most caring person in a resturant i had ever dealt with. Truly very good food and service i will Come back😍❤“
