“Last time I had sushi was well over 15 years ago. Times change, appetite, and eating habits change so here I am. My wife enjoys sushi and has been here a few times and enjoys their rolls. I do enjoy food in the teriyaki family and I get this fix at a few other restaurants in town. The interior of the restaurant is inviting and it was strange being back in the former Peapod restaurant location. We ordered the crab ragoon, gyoza, chicken teriyaki roll, scorpion roll, Godzilla roll, and the beef teriyaki entree. Both appetizers were good but pretty standard. I tried a few rolls and it's still not for me. I believe the seaweed wrap is what I don't like. The filling is good though. My wife enjoyed every bite of it. The beef teriyaki comes with salad, rice, and miso soup. I don't particularly like miso soup but this one was slightly different in a good way. I enjoyed the simple salad as well. Now when I ordered the beef I wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked which is not unusual. When I received the beef it was too blue in my opinion. I'll eat beef anyway outside of raw but typically I like my beef medium. The sauce and vegetables were good and I still ate the beef. For drinks I stuck with water but my wife had a mango smoothie that was quite tasty. The employees were attentive and definitely hustling so I appreciate that. I would go back and get the chicken teriyaki (hopefully it's not pink) and let my wife enjoy the sushi rolls. 4 stars because everyone I know that has come here for the sushi raves about it.“
“this was our third time at kaido, and it never disappoints! the fish is so fresh, the sauces are delicate but flavorful, and the rolls are amazing. and the interior is cozy and beautifully decorated.we've been to many sushi restaurants in chicago and suburbs, and kaido is definitely one of the best, most creative, and freshest sushi in the area. this has become our go-to sushi place, and we highly recommend it!our favorites are: kenchin jinro soup, aloha roll, hamachi truffle roll, and the hamachi carpaccio in the omakase. the omakase was also amazing and filling. honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu!“
“I ordered a half order of the black dragon, which is a specialty maki. The ratio and texture of the rice were ideal. The outside became charred, resulting in a grill-like appearance and scent to the brittle eel meat. The black fish eggs scattered on the maki gave it a peculiar texture, and the tobiko's color fit the theme. What a welcome appetizer for me.I ordered their lunch special salmon bento box for my main course. Every section has distinct protein, carbohydrates, and vegetables. Perfectly cooked salmon was topped with shredded fried potatoes, and a stir-fried mixture of veggies with a teriyaki sauce. The gyoza had a tasty filling and a crunchy outside. Since the bento box included miso soup and salad, I believe they should replace the cabbage salad with something else. The food was tasty and substantial.“
“We've been frequenting another great Sushi restaurant in Schaumburg for a while; wanted to try something new for a change.Ambience is modern. Service was great. Food presentation was top-notch, but we felt, it lacked 'flavor'. Something about it - it had all the familiar ingredients and yet something was missing.Prices were reasonable. They have the a-la-carte and all you can eat options. We tried both. They have reduced price for kids' all you can eat option as well....which is nice. I will give it another shot and try some different items.“
“I cannot rave enough about Kinta Sushi. I have been a patron for over 15 years and no matter where I've moved around I'll make the drive to get there! Dining in is always a great experience. The most friendly staff I have ever encountered. The quality of sushi is always top tier and the price matches. Dining in is always comfortable and clean. Presentation is nice and a fair mix of traditional and modern twists. I also frequently pick up to go and they have never missed a thing in my orders. Not only that but they always label the containers which I appreciate so much. My go to order always includes the stuffed mushrooms. And I've always been a big fan of the green bay roll! Their sashimi always impresses me as well. I am just a very satisfied and happy long time customer and I will be as long as they are in operation.“
“First time going here and I couldn't be more impressed, the restraunt is very clean and the staff are nice. The food is fresh and very good. Got the salmon obsession sushi burrito and it was very good! Can't wait to try their other dishes.“
“Well, I came here for many times and didn't have a chance to write a review for this restaurant. It is located in a small plaza right off Higgins and Lively. The staff were friendly and quick service. One thing I love about this restaurant is the daily specials just $12. Every day they have different offers for their daily specials. The food was worth compared with the prices you paid. I would love to come back here to try their daily specials.“
“The beef tatami was excellent, lamb chops & calamari were good, yellowtail was ok...rice pot didn't have much flavorSteve, server had excellent interaction. Support staff was ok...plate change didn't happen unless we requested and was very slow, table never got manicured throughout$300 spend on party of 2“
“LOVE, LOVE this place!They are always always BUSY! Probably due to their fairly priced, delicious food and amazing customer services!!!This place is amazing, especially their services! Even when they are busy their servers are very very attentive and caring!Just when you think all servers suck, lazy and slow…especially after covid, nope, not here!A lot of restaurant after covid, their bill will recommend you 18%/20%/25%, I went to a bell sushi place meaning they don’t even serve you but when the bill come they recommend you 20%/22%/25% BUT NOT HERE!! Their recommend tips is still 15%/18%/20% even when their level of services is 1000% better than everyone else!Love their miso ramen, boiled eggs, the bowl of heavy veggies come w/ your ramenVegetarian options: Only a few dishesDietary restrictions: Jsut ramen is served hereParking: Shared big lotKid-friendliness: server are great w kids!Wheelchair accessibility: Fromt Door not automatic“
“Hidden Gem… my sister, daughter and I were out shopping when we drove past this restaurant. Everyone was so welcoming and accommodating. Everything was delicious and amazingly prepared. This place was a 10/10 and we can’t wait to return.“
“We visited this restaurant for my wife's birthday. The atmosphere was ok with attempts to make it look authentic Japanese. There's a small fish pond in the middle of the restaurant and cozy sunken booths to get that seated on the floor vibe. We came for sushi and were not disappointed. It was all fresh and seemed very authentic. Many places make sushi but Daruma's sushi seemed somewhat different... stepped up. The fish pieces on the Nigiri were larger. We tried some different pieces and there were Maki combinations that were fresh and different than the norm. My only complaint about the place was that it was either under construction or was just a bit run down. When you first walk in there were things piled into the corner of the bar area, there was a space heater in the middle of the room we were seated in to warm it up, and the bathroom was very rundown and in need of a makeover... fresh paint and an overall cleanup. The place needed a good dusting. Aside from the cosmetic issues, the food was excellent and well made. For my wife's birthday, they brought her out some green tea cheesecake that was very good. It was a nice end to a nice evening.“
“What a GEM! WOW, after having numerous locations near us in NY, it’s truly hard to find a good, fresh Sushi spot! BUT! Here it is! Lili’s is soooo good! And the staff is Amazing! Thank you so much for being so good to us! Great place to eat! Or take out!“
“Great place off the beaten path. Stumbled on this place while driving through and all were happy with the food court in the back. Authentic Asian offerings served quickly in a relaxed atmosphere. We will certainly stop in again when coming through the area.“
“We came here once before. This visit was during lunch. We didn’t know they had a lunch special starting at $9.95 depending on the protein you select. This is one of the most delicious Thai food restaurants I visited and I had visited many. We ordered the pekimao with beef and the of Thai with chicken. Everything was done very nicely with flavor and not over cooked. The drunken noodle was a little spicy but within my tolerance. They also add small appetizers such as egg rolls and fried tofu which makes the meal even more worth paying. Everything was great. I wish they would update their floors but other than that it was great!“
“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“
“This has quickly become my 'go to' place for sushi. I've had quite a variety of their rolls, and everything was quite good! In-person dining is best described as intimate owing to the small size of the restaurant. If you're claustrophobic, this might be off putting. Seems clean; a bit heavy on dark wood. Service was efficient, though the woman that served our table during my first visit seemed overwhelmed (I believe she was the sole server). Poor thing! My preference is to order for takeout so I can pig out in private at home. If you love the spicy kick of wasabi as I do, don't hesitate to ask for extra--they'll readily compliment your order with more. Overall, good quality sushi in terms of sizes of the rolls and taste, at price points that won't cause considerable angst. I can, and do, recommend Abishari with great ease.“
“This place is legit. We came here for the Korean Sashimi experience. I wasn't expecting much since this place is in a pretty unassuming strip mall but the quality of the fish is what did it for me. I believe the owner buys an entire tuna and expertly slices different parts himself. I had the best tasting sashimi here. And as much fish as I have had in my life I found myself asking the waitress what part of the tuna I was eating. First time trying Tuna jaw meat and it was astounding. The amount of toro grade tuna that was served amazed me. Service was a bit slow but with high quality fresh fish that they serve all was forgiven. 5 stars all the way.“
“Arriving with uncertain expectations, I was pleasantly surprised by the delectable freshness of the food. The Philadelphia Roll featured incredibly fresh and delicious salmon, truly amazing! The spicy miso soup was equally delicious, providing a mind-blowing culinary experience.“
“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.“
“We tried BNK for the first time last night, and could not have been happier! The mini crab & veggie spring rolls were delicious (we fought over the last ones) and the Spicy Peanut Sauce dish with chicken was so good I licked the plate :)“

“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!“
“Holy cow that was really good. Won’t be a weekly regular, prices are a bit high (but I’m also a stingy jerk). My wife and I shared Tataki Tuna ( my favorite) wildfire (my wife’s favorite), the King Kong and Viagra- yes they have a roll called Viagra. They were all fantastic, but with 2 glasses of wine and a Edamame appetizer it left a $140 hole in my bank account. Either way, I’m sure we’ll be back for an occasion.“
“They all know me as soon as I walk in the door! Wendy and her husband are great as well same with the servers !! Great all you can eat I can never go to another sushi restaurant since I’ve discovered this place never cheating on oishi again with another sushi “
“The only negative thing I will say about it is the music was turned up a little too loud.Aside from that, everything we had was incredible. Our 8 year old daughter inhaled her chicken gyoza & chicken teriyaki rolls. We ordered the King Lobster, Mango Tango, Boston & Philadelphia rolls and they were all delicious. Will definitely remember this place the next time we're here from WI.“
“Amazing food. This restaurant has the HIGHEST quality salmon (sake) in the Chicagoland area. The portions are generous, and the freshness is unmatched. Service is quick! Ambiance is what you'd expect for a small sushi restaurant. 11/10, I'd highly recommend the Sake Don!“
“While it's a wee little place that often isn't crowded, the staff is on the ball and the food is better than you might expect. They do a serious take out business for a reason and their prices are reasonable especially for the fresh food.“
“My new favorite sushi place! The service is super kind and welcoming. They have such a wide variety of sushi as well as other dishes- all at an incredibly fair price! We ordered a few appetizers, rolls, and nigiri. Everything was so tasty and fresh! And even came out quickly!“
“Excellent service and sushi!! They served 22+ of us and were on top of it! Drinks, many different menu items and never missed a beat. Delicious sushi, sashimi and cooked items along great portion sizes. Awesome place and definitely returning!“
“We went there last night and got a take out order. I love Chinese food. This food is the best ! The staff is very friendly and polite . The food is so good that this is My go to restaurant when I’m in Elmhurst from now on. I am very delighted that we stopped in .“
“the food here is amazing!! they made an adjustment for me because i'm a vegetarian and made tofu in a dish served with meat. i also ordered a lot of things spicy and they did not fail! super quick & sweet people. i will be coming back“
“I ordered a bowl for pickup through their website. I chose crab sticks for my main protein. Extra $1 each to add avocado and crabstick salad. It was delicious and the sushi rice was hot. Bowl was ready at their estimated time. My only complaint is that they forgot 3 of the ingredients that were written on the receipt: pineapple, mango, sweet onion. There was no extra charge for these so I wasn't too upset about it but forgetting 3 items in the bowl is kind of a lot. Next time I'll order there inside the restaurant.“
“I want to give an excellent review of the restaurant. The sushi menu is on another level. I have eaten at different sushi restaurants, even with native Asian owners, and I think this restaurant exceeds all my expectations. Every time I go, I try a new dish, and I am satisfied with my choice. The service is unique, and the atmosphere is calm, relaxed, and welcoming. a 10/10.“
“I've been going to sushi nest for years, this place is still amazing, ordered to go recently so that's where the picture is from, BUT EVEN TO GO IT WAS SO GOOD, definitely prepared with love, thank you guys!Top left is forest roll, under it is the red dragon, the one with the small leafy garnish is called four seasons, below that the Godzilla, below that the king crab roll, and we ordered a sashimi dinner on the side as well with the edamame“
“Every single thing we ordered was delicious and nothing was left uneaten! From the crab Rangoon, to the chicken friend rice and all 6 sushi rolls- it was delicious! A great atmosphere from the moment you arrived. Love the warm towels and nice chopsticks! Definitely recommend and kid friendly for how nice it is!“
“Absolutely out of his ?! Best Sushi I've ever had... The service is absolutely wonderfu!!!. This restaurant has a very homey vibe and the staff is very welcoming. They have the Christmas spirit, well decorated and I can't hardly wait to come back! A+++++Kid-friendliness: Super patient with my 6yr old daughter with tons of curious questions. I can't speak enough about the outstanding service and welcoming atmosphere!“
“A little pricey but it's a fun experience, sushi quality was great and getting the toy prize is fun as well. I've been to this chain in Japan and I feel the experience is almost the same, though the amount of plates per prize is less.The sushi tasted fresh and watching the conveyor belt go by with all of the sushi you can get carried away. The beef options were alright, nothing mind blowing. The robot server is pretty cute, first time actually seeing it in use in person, it's pretty neat and it navigates well.Overall had a great time.“
“I love this restaurant! The sushi and other menu items are always tasty and good quality. The staff is nice and very helpful for first timers. The meal can get expensive really fast as they charge by the plate, so come prepared for that. The only downside is that it can be exceptionally loud , especially when they are busy as it is a small space and there a lot of people in it. The kura bots are cute but play a loud song to let you know they are coming or near, as a safety thing.“
“OMG best little place in carol steam, I'm here Sunday night no one is here and I am wondering why, I had a drink called sunshine, it's pineapple, orange, strawberry juices is delicious. I had crab legs, corn, potato, eggs, salad came with meal, the dressing on salad was very different but soft and delicate, the crab was very clean, sweet and plenty. ordered the cajin house, mild still had a kick of spice but perfect.If I could give this place a 10 star it would get an 11. Fabulous delightful very quiet, server's was not a pest, but cleaned up right away. I still don't know why it's not packed. This is a must go to if your in carol stream IllinoisParking: Plenty of pull in spotsKid-friendliness: Tv, kids menue“
“Excited to have a quick date night at the new ramen spot! The lights were warm and just right. They clearly figured out a way to dim their lights (or turn off some of them). The ramen was delicious! The broth was creamy and seasoned well. Definitely not watery or bland as previous reviews suggested. Must have tweaked the recipes. Ramen typically isn't like Pho with a lot of broth. After the ramen, we were actually pretty full. We each also got a roll and an appetizer and struggled to finish everything! My rainbow roll was fresh and done well. My Caucasian husband liked his Wheaton roll. The tuna appetizer had a nice bite to it from a slight sear. Servers were very nice and attentive. We had a great time!“
“The spicy salad with salmon and tuna was great. The lettuce was very fresh and you could add as much spicy sauce on the side as you wanted. We would definitely go back to eat there instead of Mitsua where there was no seating on a Saturday.“
“We love Bistro Wasabi in Lake in the Hills, and we wanted to come check out this location tonight. We had Victoria as our server and she was wonderful. The food is always fantastic but we were really happy with the service, despite it being a busy Saturday night. Thank you Victoria!“
“Have had sushi here a couple times now with my family, and it’s always so good! Really attentive and friendly service, and the sushi is fresh and tasty. The owner is also the chef, so you can really tell the care he puts into the food. Some of the best sushi I’ve had in the area ??“
“This place is a hidden gem. It's not much to look at but dont be fooled! The sushi is fresh and delicious. I ordered a seaweed salad, salmon roll, and a dragon roll on my last trip. The seaweed salad is a bit small, but very tasty. It comes garnished with sesame seeds. The salmon roll was fresh and better quality than other places in this area. The dragon roll had a perfect balance of roll, sauce and eel. Generally I do not like to order eel because it is very easy to screw up but this roll was perfect. I will add pictures on another trip. If you are considering going definitely try this place out. You will not be disappointed!“
“we to this restaurant for my birthday and the food was great we liked it because they have sushi and Asian and Thai dishes my grandsons were with and they also had a kids menu.My husband had chicken fried rice , I had double fried noodles that had a very good sauce and my daughter sushi that she said was also fresh and very good . I had a drink with dinner the waitress recommended that was a mangoitini that was great , the good was very good the service was really good and we liked the look of the restaurant.I would definitely be eating there again a lot of different dishes to choose from and nice atmosphere.We also had appetizers that was calamari and crab Rangoon the calamari was very tender and the kids and adults enjoyed tge crab Rangoon.“
“Best local Sushi Place in Town! Always quality and care made in each roll. Absolutely delicious tastes, textures, and flavors. They offer roll options that are good for those with Gluten and Dairy sensitivities and allergies. The wait for your rolls is very short compared to the care and time they take making each roll. Overall, highly recommend if you are a Sushi enthusiasts to eat from their All-You-Can-Eat Menu and enjoy the many Sushi Rolls they have to offer! ?“
“Our post Valentine's dinner. Gregorio was entertaining. I had the steak and scallops, both delicious and well seasoned. My hubby had the steak and lobster. Come hungry when coming to a hibachi dinner, as the rest of it is taken to go.“
“We always enjoy the food and drinks here. Service wasn't great- our side dish was brought out as we were finishing up our meal. It had obviously just been reheated, which I guess is better than bringing it out cold.Volcano Roll is my favorite.“
“Jeremy was our server and he was amazing!!! He had great energy and he checked in on us often.The food was great! We had several apps and they were all good. We filled up and took most of our meals to go. I would recommend going and ask to sit in Jeremy’s section.Kid-friendliness: Loved the kids menu, tons of options and served on a cute plate with an animal shaped fruit.“
“My husband and I order from here often. Quality is great, everything is always fresh and delicious. Staff is always friendly. Poke bowl is soooo good. Don’t pass it up! Sushi Time is the only place we’ll order sushi from. We’re happy customers and we’ll be back again, and again, and again….“
“Hidden gem located in the suburb area. Friendly staffs, clean and comfortable seating restaurant with decent size menu. Reasonable price with the portions. Foods arrived pretty quick. Plain Egg noodles soup was on point with light broth, the egg noodles were perfectly cooked. Tender beef in flavorful black pepper sauce, peatips sprouts and water spinach were delicious in light flavor with garlic. Beef Chow fun was good not overly oily. Overall we enjoyed our quiet dinner. We can’t wait to return .“
