A MUST GO!! If I could I would give ZAAB Bistro 10 stars for excellence in quality, fusion of flavors, generous portions and wonderful service! The menu offers a variety of entree from authentic Japanese barbecue, teriyaki vegetables with a choice of protein, pho and ramen soups along with hand cut steaks and more. ZAAB has a fully stocked bar and of course a variety of Sakai’s. My husband and I started with a beautiful jasmine tea. It was served in a clear glass mug in order for the guests to see the attractive bundle of green tea leaves, jasmine and vibrant flowers. The aromatic blend is intoxicating. My husband ordered the rib eye steak with the garlic mashed potatoes. He was extremely pleased with his meal. A dinner salad is included with entrees. I highly recommend the house dressing, a ginger vinaigrette. I chose the teriyaki vegetables with perfectly grilled, beef tenderloin medallions. When Lek, our server and one of the owners, presented our meals, my jaw dropped to the floor! The 3 filet medallions that adorned the top of a platter of vegetables, were thick, perfectly cooked and absolutely mouth watering. The bed of vegetables that lay underneath was a vivid array of colors, flavorful and fresh! This dish was accompanied by a side of jasmine rice, its lovely aroma and flavor enhanced the already delicious tastes. We finished off our dinner with ZAAB’s take on an apple dumpling ( a croissant stuffed with apple slices and baked to a perfect golden brown. Its buttery, apple awesomeness was paired with French vanilla ice cream. The service was excellent and so was Sam, who made sure our water glasses were full and any empty plates were taken away. I wholeheartedly recommend ZAAB Bistro and Japanese Fusion restaurant!!!! I know we will most definitely be back!

Food was super delicious, and everyone we interacted with was very kind. You can tell they care about their customers.
However, the service was extremely slow. If you’re seated toward the back of the restaurant, it feels like you’re completely forgotten. It took a long time for our drinks and food to come out, and it was nearly 20 minutes after being seated before anyone even came by to take our order.
Overall, great food and kind staff, but the service definitely needs improvement.

Delicious food with huge menu of enticing choices. Our waitress, Baicha, was helpful in guiding us to decide. Spicy soup was excellent. The stir fry I was thinking about didn't come with beef but they made the change for me. We would have to return many times to try all of the options.

I was here with my family on a trip to Lake Geneva, and we had a fantastic dinner! Staff was friendly and efficient, and the food was filling and delicious. Most of us are vegetarians and enjoyed the saucy lava tofu, udon soup, and yaki soba. My sister-in-law enjoyed her pork tonkatsu as well. Definitely would recommend!

My Mexican compadre and I decided to give this place a try on her birthday. The food was fantastic and the service was great. The ramen is bomb and the fried ice cream was delicious. Speaking of delicious if you are ever in the Mchenry area check out El Vado Mexican restaurant for a true authentic experience.

This place is great! They have the best chicken I’ve ever had a restaurant. Just beware it is a bit pricey but it is entirely worth it!
Stopped by for lunch - we were the only people in the restaurant. Two of us had the ramen and we’ll be back for that again. Third person had a steak and raved about it.

Our food was ready in 40min. Grilled fish was raw in the middle, without any seasoning, dry.
