“Our experience here has been phenomenal - this place was recommended to me by all my coworkers and we were passing by. We ordered the Gyoza, the Chicken Karage, the Tokyo Miso Cha Shu ramen, and a Hakkaido Cha Shu ramen. The Hakkaido broth was good but a little too rich for me, but the Tokyo Miso Broth is absolutely amazing - it's light enough without being bland, noodles were decent, the Cha Shu pork was really good, and all other small soup components (cabbage, corn, etc) added a lot of flavor and detail to each bite. Gyoza was not bad, Karage was amazing and juicy. Overall love the vibe of this place and how simple and straight forward everything was. Highly recommend, this may be my new favorite ramen shop in the Chicagoland area.“
“Ordered Tonkotsu ramen, Kaarage, Gyoza and avocado sushi.The ramen consistency was great, Broth had a distinct but wonderful flavor and it was frothy which I liked. The toppings were also great. Eggs soft boiled to perfection and I didn’t have much of the chashu but it was also good.The Karaage was also good. Breading was great and they use dark meat which was a pleasant surprise.Gyoza was good too. Less crispy then most and I like that but maybe some might not.Sushi was also top notch. For some reason its not on the online menu but I highly recommend.I also had a taste of someone else’s katsu don and It was good.The staff are incredibly nice and considerate and there was not much wait for our food (Infact, some of the ramen came before the appetizers!)I only give the atmosphere a 3/5 because the sun glares through the window and it can be quite annoying.P.S. Big portions on the ramen so be prepared for leftovers!All in all, HIGHLY RECOMMEND for ramen lovers in chicago.“
“Don't be fooled by the appearance! Behind the modest dining area with 3 tables and a narrow counter is hiding an amazing Japanese chef who is not only brilliant in delivering the highest quality of sushi and sashimi, cooking delightful hot dishes but also pays close attention to the presentation of his creations. My sashimi selection was delightful and miso soup very tasty. The nice nod to the classic Japanese cuisine was a delicious assortment of Japanese pickles. My husband loved the incredible dressing of the house salad, the right consistency of the egg rolls, and the freshness of the shrimp tempura roll. He was particularly fond of the rich flavor of his gyoza. Kelly made us feel very welcome at her restaurant. We cannot wait to be back at this hidden gem! Bravo, Akira-San! Save our table“
“Absolutely delicious Japanese food. You can order at the counter (they’ll bring it to you) or you can order on your phone and leave a tab open (and close out at the end). We got a meal set with shio mackerel and katsu with ponzu, udon, edamame, and a large katsu curry. Everything was delicious and authentic. The prices are great for the portions and quality. If this place were near us in the city, we’d be in trouble. #curryeveryday“
“I like the food of this place better than their Schaumburg location, the original chef from their 1st location was there cooking when we went. Service is still on the learning stage as you could tell the server wasn't on top of things yet. The decor was beautiful, best one of all their branches.“
“First time here last week and last night (2/23/2024), we came back and dined with friends. There were 9 of us in the group. Food was delish! We had diff types of sushi, ramen, gyoza, edamame, and Taiyaki with vanilla ice cream for dessert. All were delish and brought to our table quickly. The place was clean and staff were efficient. We sat on the part of the restaurant where you sit on the floor while you eat. We enjoyed the authentic Japanese dining set-up. They have various Japanese beer and wine, and dessert options as well. Prices are slightly higher than other Japanese restaurants nearby (Ari Sushi in Des Plaines & Sushi Nikko in Arlington Heights) but we can deal with it because of the efficient service. I think this becoming one of our fave sushi places.“
“I can't believe I never tried Torino until now! We live walking distance and I placed an order for pickup. Wow, the freshness and quality of the food was fantastic. Loved my tuna avocado roll! The space is warm and inviting and it looks like a nice bar, too. Will definitely be back to dine in!“
“The food delicious , sushi was very tasty . The desserts were pretty good . My family and I enjoyed the atmosphere here as well as the delicious sushi rolls . We got spicy salmon, spider roll ,caterpillar ,kamikaze ,chili mango . All very delicious .“
“Came here Friday evening around 7pm. Place was nearly full but the servers rearranged tables quickly to seat our family of 5. We ordered 5 bowls of ramen (Tonkotsu and Miso).Pros: Food came quickly, reasonable portions. Good amount of meat and veggies.Cons: Soup is too salty for our taste. Chashu lacks a searing finish.“
“Line is always long, especially during lunchtime, 11 am - 1 pm, even worse during the weekend, normally around 30- 40 mins wait or depending on how many people ahead of you. But is it worth the wait? Yes! Definitely. I always enjoy the ramen and other side dishes they offer. Prices are a bit expensive, around $15, but it's very filling and say worth it. The only downside of this place is that it is hard to find an empty table to sit at during lunch rush hours as this restaurant is located inside Mitsuwa market food court. So, I recommend that if you are going to this place with a friend, 1 person should start looking for a table while the other one is waiting in line or if you're by yourself and very hungry avoid going here during lunch hours.“
“Best Thai food ever!! The potstickers and pad Thai are toooo die forrrrr! Along with that the Shumi, Crab Rangoons, and Mango sticky rice is fantastic!! Affordable prices, great food and most importantly the best owner in the whole world! Jimmy is the sweetest person ever and you can see how much he cares about each customer! You have to try it outttttt“
