So I currently reside in Bartlett and when I heard that one of the owners from TL's was opening up shop with another small business owner, I knew I had to check them out. Life got in the way, but tonight the stars aligned and I was off to Main Street in Downtown Roselle. The entrance looks inviting as were the hostesses. They were greeting us before we even made it in the door. There were some specials on a menu board over the host stand that we took a moment to read through. The dining room was maybe 20% full on this Tuesday evening at 7:30. Water glasses were kept full and extra white rice was no problem to get quickly. Our waitress could use some polishing. Bringing an unwrapped drinking straw with her bare hands and placing it in the glass was the thing that stuck out to me the most. Although the gentleman filling water glasses brought a straw wrapped in a paper napkin, so I think that faux pas was specific to the waitress and not the restaurant. Our meals were fine. Nothing exciting or enough to send me running back. The basil garlic chicken was requested as white meat only. We were told that it already was, but I really don't think so. I told my sister that it was to appease her, but I'm pretty sure I was rocking the thigh meat in the bites I tasted. My son's sushi roll looked lost on the giant plate he received. When it arrived, I immediately suggested that he order more food and he declined. Finally, my crispy black pepper beef was overcooked and tasted like seafood. I didn't mind the seafood undertone since I enjoy shrimp, but my sister and son noticed it prominently and wouldn't eat the dish. And the potstickers...I almost forgot. Pan fried to a milky white color! The waitress suggested fried rather than steamed, but the potstickers spent very little time in the pan based on all appearances and the lukewarm centers. The menu was very similar to TL's with a few twists including an option for family style with six or more guests. I don't think I'll make my way back to 8000 Miles since TL's is closer to home, has the service down to a science and the food has me thinking about our next meal there. read more

3 stars. We went on a Thursday night at 6 it was about half full which is expected for a relatively new restaurant. The interior was very well decorated and designed. A lot of open space, high ceilings make for a comfortable setting. The problem is the dining room projects sound so even though it was half empty the place was loud and lively. We ordered: Chong Ching Fish Soup: Serves 2, its basically fish filets with some pickled greens in soup with some cellophane noodles. (8.00) Its not bad, definitely spicy enough, I don't think its anything special though, just fish filets in some broth. Bbq Eel Maki: Kind of rough looking, their sushi chef needs more practice. There was barely enough rice to cover the seaweed wrapper. (See picture) (6 bucks) Spider Roll: Good, the soft shell crab was fried well also the portion was larger (See picture). (11.00) Housemade Ginger ale (3.00) not bad but a tad too sweet. Basically tastes like ginger and sugar. Overall I'd best describe this place as an "asian" restaurant designed for white people or "Americanized" pallets. The service was kind of slow and our waiter wasn't too attentive and seemed to have a cold. They also wouldn't let me bring in my bottle of unsweet iced tea which was kinda like saying "we want YOU to spend money on OUR drinks damnit!" I'm not totally sure where to categorize this restaurant, its not the best sushi restaurant near here, nor is it the best chinese restaurant but its got elements of both. There are hits and misses and the service and speed needs work. Being brand new I'm willing to overlook a few things but it seems to me this place isn't really ready for primetime or a full packed friday night yet. read more

Interesting concept with both Chinese and sushi on the menu. This restaurant reminds me more of Pl8 than it does TL's four seasons due to the decor choices and silverware. The food wasn't spectacular but it was solid for classier Chinese in the suburbs. The two dishes I liked the most were the crispy honey sesame beef and dry chili chicken. read more

Been wanting to come here for awhile since I do like fusion food. Being a person with ADD, what better way (than a buffet) to fulfill my mind-changing ways with a blend of awesome cuisine (Japanese and Chinese)? So this place is located right next to a train station. If you sit outside, be forewarned that you will hear the train zoom by blaring their horns every time. Sucks that this is the case, but I suppose the location is good for those commuters getting off the train for a bite to eat before going home. I would classify the ambiance and decor of this place to be "modern" and somewhat "trendy", but don't feel like you need to dress up for the place. Casual clothers like me are welcomed! The interesting thing about the menu is that although they claim to be fusion, there really wasn't any fusion going on; sure, they have Japanese and Chinese cuisine on the menu, but no dishes were fused together. They had sushi and chinese food. I ordered the Peppered Beef, which was absolutely AWESOME! My gal pal Jen P ordered a lamb dish, that was kinda chewy. We also ordered the Crazy Roll, which was nothing that really stood out, but it was OK. Overall, wish there was more fusion going on, and the train was a distraction, if you eat out. But the Peppered Beef was delicious and overall the staff was attentive and helpful with their food suggestions. BATHROOM REVIEW: The bathrooms were super clean. They had Chinese newspaper plastered all over the wall, like wall paper. The wood stalls were very nice. It also had two nice clean urinals. Sit or squat? Sit!! read more

I was choking on the delisious kung pao chicken when an ambulance came. great food though. would come again if i dont choke.

Fried rice and General's chicken was amazing!! Full of flavor. Not salty or two sweet. We are excited to order again!

Went here for lunch with coworkers and honestly was slightly disappointed. We ordered appetizers, rolls, and meals. 2 people ordered the lunch meals that should have come with spring roll and soup. Neither came. Two shared a dinner meal and received no rice. Once the waiter came around again we asked and it was very strange. He said the rice was coming right out and that the spring roll was just put in. We were already done eating at this point so it just had to be boxed up. The soup was completely ignored and never brought to table. It seems odd to skimp on the cheapest things because then you just have upset and unhappy customers rather than just giving us everything that should be included with the meal. The sushi was ok. The meals (honey chicken and honey beef) was VERY sweet. I unfortunately won't be returning. read more

Came here for New Years Eve dinner. The service and food was excellent! I loved that our food was piping hot. The sushi was amazing. I recommend it. read more

Recommended we go to this restaurant for dinner with friends. They loved it as much as we do. We had 4 different appetizers which were all great - the Edamame, crab rangoon, pot stickers and some Chinese chips with the delicious dip. Three of us had the Crispy Garlic Shrimp which was awesome and the 4th person had Pad Thai. Our of our dinners were very large portions so we all took meals to finish at home. The drinks were also good and reasonably priced. In all and excellent meal in a very nice atmosphere. read more

We lovingly call this place 8 Mile. ;) The food here is excellent. There is a ton of flavor and the ingredients are fa-resh!! It's also in a great location, smack dab in the middle of downtown Roselle. For appetizers, the seaweed salad is a refreshing renewal of a classic. There's a cucumber bedding underneath. The pot stickers are scrumptious. The wonton is delicate and not too doughy, perfectly paired with the dipping sauce. Crab rangoon is delish- but it's a reliable app that is always safe to order. Love that they support the local winery, Lynfred. There's always new Lynfred wines to order by the glass or bottle. There's even events that join the two power houses, Asian cuisine and Wine?!? Yes please! For main course I LOVE the Seven Flavor Chicken. The sushi is great. Can be an appetizer or a main course. We have ordered the Roselle Town Hall... I do not recommend this party tray. Most of the pieces of fish are unusual cuts and we had a hard timing stomaching all of it. Worth paying slightly more and get the exact rolls you want. Dessert. Usually we have no room for dessert BUT when we must, we must have the mochi balls. They are light, flavorful, and you leave 8 mile feeling like you've had a complete dining experience. What I'm not a fan of is the dining experience. I do like the modern ambiance BUT it's arranged like a large dining hall. It feels like a cafeteria when it's empty or filled with people. When it is filled with patrons, its very noisy, chaotic and crowded feeling. Regardless, we love coming here. It's close. It has great dishes. Serves fab drinks.... Nothing else to desire. ;) read more

Food and service are great. But if you're coming in with sushi in mind, I'd suggest you go to a more authentic japanese/sushi bars instead - more sushi with less bucks == happier tummy and tastebuds!;) Try the scallion pancake rolls! Really tasty! read more

My husband planned a wonderful surprise party for my birthday. We were there on 2/12/18 along with about 25 friends. They are normally closed on Monday's, but owners Ben and Shawn opened up the restaurant just for our group. They had our tables set up in the middle of the restaurant, because we had the whole place to ourselves. Ariel and Jon were our servers/bartenders for the evening and were very attentive to our needs. Our preset menu included some crowd favorites that allowed our guests to experience a selection of what they have on their normal menu. Our sushi included Spicy Tuna Maki (my personal favorite), California Roll, and Tempura Roll. We also had Pot Stickers, Combination House Fried Rice, and Crispy Spice Calamari. Oh, and great wine and cocktails! Everything was perfect! read more

The sushi was delicous and we really enjoyed the egg rolls and pot stickers as well. It is a bit pricey so I wish the portions were bigger but still very tasty! read more

I would say this place is a repeat. We liked the food, I would give it 8/10. We had crab Rangoon and pot stickers for appetizer . For the main course I had the cumin scanted lamb and hot and sour soup, my wife had Mongolian beef and our 8 year old had kids sushi and chicken dumpling soup. All was good. I had cumin lamb in Shenzhen two years ago, and I think this one measured up to the Chinese one. Desert was good too, chocolate banana wanton. Server was a little rough on the edges but still cordial and hospitable. We were pleased. read more

We love this place. Right up the street and great patio. Quite disappointed though that they haven't opened patio during Phase 3. And now it's Phase 4 and not opening anything stillll??? Glad that roselle peeps have been helping them out during COVID with carry out but I think they're doing better with carry out than when they were actually open, so will they ever open up so we can get out of our homes??? We probably will stop doing carry out for awhile here so that we can actually go and visit other places. Tired of eating at home. Let is come BACK soon 8000 miles!!! We have been helping you. Now we need YOU to help US!!! read more

We like TL's Four Seasons in Bartlett and this is the same ownership so we gave it a try. There are some dishes that are the same as TL's but they also have their own unique dishes as well. Personally, we are huge fans of the potstickers and the garlic beef. The service is friendly, sometimes a little bit slow -- but overall a consistently good dining experience. The drinks are delicious. And the atmosphere is great. read more

We went here last night at 7:15pm. We sat down at the bar. The Hostess came running over and said it would be 25 minutes we have a wait list. We said ok we will have a drink and wait. She said that would be 25 minutes. The Bartender/Server was behind the bar all he had to do was turn around pour one beer and one glass of wine. There were 2 other people at the 7 seat bar. Clearly they don't want the local business. So we left. On our way out she told us to have a nice evening. Oh and the wait list? There were two people standing outside but I'm pretty sure they were not waiting to get in because the place was empty on the inside. The sad part is they have a sign on the door that says please be patient we are short staffed and we totally get it but for her to turn us away when we were willing to wait 25 minutes she obviously does not care weather that restaurant makes it or not! We took our local money down the street to Pollyanna! read more

Came here for lunch with my parents to kick a serious sushi craving. Hit the spot! Most asian fusion restaurants have been disappointing for me but at 8000 Miles both Chinese and Japanese dishes were delicious. For appetizers we ordered potstickers and crispy rice. The potstickers were good but nothing special compared to some of our other dishes. Crispy rice was yummy! Sort of an inside-out spicy tuna roll. My mom also order their house made ginger ale...YUM! Very fresh, light, and sweet. For entrees we had ginger asparagus shrimp, shanghai fish, and a ben roll. The shrimp dish was definitely our favorite; cooked and seasoned to perfection. The shanghai fish and ben roll were both from the specials menu and were equally satisfying. Shanghai sauce had similar flavors to sweet and sour sauce and was poured over crispy flaky fried fish. Loved the ben roll, the red pepper and cilantro gave it a unique taste. We also had the banana nutella wontons for dessert which were okay, nice with the side of ice cream. The space itself is beautiful, they also have a huge patio that I'm sure is awesome in the summertime. Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because our service was kinda slow, especially since the place was pretty empty. Also they were playing terrible music which totally took away from the atmosphere. Overall this place is a win! read more

Went in for a visit with my wife after catching a showing of Godzilla and despite protests of going somewhere a bit more familiar, we gave 8000 miles a shot. Much to our disappointment, it didn't stand out all that much. The service was fantastic, welcoming and exceptionally friendly, but it was the food that failed to really achieve any sort of distinctiveness during our visit. My wife's Pad Thai was bland, with little taste to the noodles. Admittedly, she said she wasn't looking to have any spice in the dish, but that shouldn't render it devoid of anything palatable. Similarly, my sushi failed to offer any flavor above the typical conveyor-belt style offerings. Disappointingly average, no more or less. read more

Im giving this resturant 4 out of 5 stars cause my recent experience has been unpleasant. I have ordered food here several times for delivery. Pad tai, scehwan dumplings, sushi and it has all been great. Today i ordered my usual Pad tai and decided to add an order of calamari. The calamari was so salty and overfried that they were naked little dried up rubber rings. The batter had been fried right off half them and they were super chewy. I called to relay my experience it was 130pm and i was told there is no manager onsite till after 4pm the next day. How do you successfully run a food service business with no manager checking food quality? Only positive note today was that the pad tai was still delicious. read more

They have a nice patio, if you don't mind trains roaring bu six or seven times an hour, blaring their horns an unnecessary amount of times. The food was just okay. We had the scallion pancakes which were nice enough, though bit anything I'd order again. My date had the beef and scallions, which was a huge portion, and by his report it was pretty good. I'm not sure what the entree I ordered tasted like because it's not the entree I received. I ordered the Harvest roll but whatever I got didn't have asparagus or sweet potato tempura. Kind of a disappointment. At least the company was good! read more

I was looking for a place to grab a quick bite and ended up here. It's beautiful inside and easily located across from the train in Roselle. Even though my order came out wrong, (I ordered fried rice, no egg but when it came - it had egg), the final result was plentiful and delicious. read more

I went here with a couple of friends on a beautiful evening. There was about a 20-30 minute wait to be seated outside on the patio, which was totally fine with us, and so we sat at the bar inside and had a couple of drinks and an order of crab rangoon while we waited. This was all very good, and the service was even better, being very friendly and attentive. We were seated outside before too long, and among us, we placed an order of vegetable fried rice, pad thai, philly roll, and rainbow roll. Let me just tell you that my friends who ordered the fried rice and pad thai will have leftovers for at least a week! So much food! The fried rice tasted as it should, but the pad thai wasn't as tasty as we've had at other places, and that's usually a staple dish with Asian fusion restaurants. The maki dishes were as expected, but nothing to write home about either unfortunately. The main gripe was their form of live entertainment. While this might not be an everyday thing for the restaurant and others might have enjoyed it, the man on guitar overstayed his welcome by playing for HOURS. At least take a break, man! He wasn't awful, but when going to an Asian-themed restaurant, I wasn't looking to listen to obscure acoustic oldies. That really killed the atmosphere for us. Overall, the service was great, the food was okay, and the atmosphere was okay. Inside was very neat and visually appealing. It was just that guy! We drove be an hour or two later after we had left, and he was still playing! Props to him for having such endurance! Would I go again despite this man? I'd probably try out other Asian restaurants before I'd come back for a second round. read more

I feel like the abundance of reviews for 8000 Miles average in the opinion of good but not great. And from my experience this evening, I would have to agree. It feels a bit like the restaurant is really reaching and trying to be an upscale dining destination when in reality it's just the local corner Asian place. Sorry, but, I'm not. This was not where we intended to have dinner, but after the place we were planning to order from was closed, I spotted this place on my way to pick my wife up from her workout down the street with Ericka Z. I've heard good things from a work friend and while I waited for my wife, I decided to order takeout thru the Yelp app. Pickup time indicated 15-20 minutes. We were there in 15 and waited another 20-25 before the food came out, with no apologies and two irritated looking young servers. The price for two entrees came to a steep $27, which is about $5 more than I think it's worth. Again, they're going for faux upscale and missing the mark. The fact that only a handful of diners were there at 7 pm on a Thursday was indicative of this, not to mention the fact that the kitchen was so slow. The basil garlic chicken was very good. I'd order that again. The Seven Flavor Chicken was anything but flavorful. It was a watered down General Tso. The description doesn't say the chicken is breaded, and the flavor was barely there. I'd definitely skip this if I were you. In fact, skip the whole place. There are much better and cheaper options out there. read more

Everything is fantastic here but mostly I dream about the crab rangoon which has to be the best ever.

Horrible experience from the first enter and service. They have bad training... Don't ever come to this restaurant. Not recommended... waitresses are rude, moody. Not wonder if this will be out of business soon... read more

Nice atmosphere, great service, amazing food... the only downside is I wish I new of this place sooner. 203 Chicken Dumpling

The Mongolian beef is some of the best around. Always have to get it when out visiting in the suburbs

The first and last time I ever came here, I was carrying a small shopping bag because we were having "a night on the town" and wanted to check out this new restaurant. We were turned away and we were told we can't bring our shopping bag in and had to put in the car. That is so stupid. The car was 3 blocks away, too. This was soon after the grand opening. The staff was extremely rude. We never even considered going back because of how horrible of an experience it was. read more

First time trying this place, and was in the mood for sushi. I ordered Crab Rangoon (can't go to an Asian restaurant without have Crab Rangoon) and, The 8000 Miles Feast Combo, which consisted of Spicy Tuna, Spicy Crab and California Rolls. Overall the food was good, reasonably priced, service was good, since this place is close to my house I can see myself being back read more

Been all around the country and 8000 Miles is still our favourite restaurant! Great food, atmosphere and service.

Every time I order from here via Uber Eats, the order is fresh and correct. I love the large selection and fairly moderate prices. A few months back I actually saw the place and I'm really liking their modern look. Overall great selection, taste, and decent prices for some of those delicious specialty plates. I'd recommend them as one of the better sushi/Asian places around. read more

We were in the area and stopped in for dinner. It was not busy. The hostess seemed more than annoyed when I asked if we would be sitting in the sun on the patio. She never really answered so we chose to sit inside. Our waiter was a little goofy in trying to be friendly, but he was efficient enough. Appetizers (potstickers) arrived quickly and were delicious. My buddy order sushi, I ordered the Mongolian Chicken. I as not impressed with my meal. The chicken was far from tender and some pieces I couldn't chew up enough to swallow. The vegetables seemed under-cooked as well. My buddy said the sushi was okay, but nothing special. For the price, I would have expected something better. read more

When to this restaurant once before and the service was good, and food was delicious for a local authentic pan Asian restaurant. So tonight I decided to take my girlfriend here to try out there food. Upon arrival the hostess sat us down. However, my girl friend and I waited about 10 minutes, and noticed our server didn't come to our table. So I decided to go ask the hostess who my server is to at least we can start ordering our food. The hostess immediately apologize, and got us two glasses of water and told us who our server is. Another 5 minutes gone by, the server didn't come to our table. So we just left the restaurant without ordering a single thing. I would not recommend any of my friends or anyone to go this restaurant! read more

Ordered for the first time yesterday and it was great. Can't believe it only has 3.5 stars? The best Chinese food I have had in a long time. I ordered five different dishes and they all were excellent. Also had 5 rolls which were all very good. Wish they were a little closer and delivered to my area? I can't wait to order again. Plus the order only took 25 minutes from the time I called. read more

My first time here on a Sunday early evening - dining room had quite a few patrons, but it was pretty "open" for the most part (I suspect due to the time around 5:30ish..). First - I loved that it was not overly crowded. Second - the host greeted us immediately and was very nice (he even walked me over to the ladies room when I asked where it was located) yes, I thought that was odd, but nonetheless it was a nice gesture. Third - our server could not have been friendlier or more attentive. Great experience so far right? I'm thinkin 'yay I'm a fan'! My friend & I were craving sushi, so we only looked at the 'small plates' and maki rolls off the menu. We started with the Tuna Avocado Sumiso and Sichuan dumplings. The tuna avocado was described as having 'large pieces' of big eye tuna. Not only was the bowl it arrived in small, but the tuna was cut very small as well (picture a dice cut into 4 pieces) with small sliced avocado. While this dish had a tasty sesame-miso sauce - we just wanted MORE, MORE... it felt like a toddler sized serving??? There was just not enough tuna... The Sichuan dumplings were delicious. chicken dumplings (made in house) with a super tasty spicy sauce (chili oil, garlic, scallions)..not as much heat as I would have liked, but I would definitely order this again and one small plate is not enough for two people... 6 dumplings on the small side...um...I'd like more, more please? Out comes our rolls: Triple k.c. & Roselle roll. Triple k.c. was cucumber wrapped (thick sliced cucumber, not paper thin) smoked & Scottish salmon, crabmeat and a dab of cream cheese sitting in rice wine. This was absolutely delicious. Not a complicated roll, simple ingredients - but nicely done!! I'd like to meet the creator of this roll!!! So refreshing and light!!! WINNER! . Again, I could have had 2 plates of this myself. Who doesn't want more cucumber? I highly recommend trying this... On the flipside, the Roselle roll was good.. Large roll and much more filling...10 super sized pieces filled with shrimp tempura, asparagus, daikon, avocado, tempura flakes, cream cheese? Lots going on here...I enjoyed both rolls, but LOVED the triple k.c....I will be returning here....Service was very, very good. While service and some dishes deserve a 4. Serving size on starters and lack of tuna was a 3. Overall, 3.5. read more

In the shadow of Lynfred Winery and spitting distance from the Metra lies 8000 Miles. I don't know much (read: anything) about Roselle, but given my experience I'm going to call it a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I'm wary of places that try to be everything to everyone - in this case Chinese, Japanese, and a little Thai, but 8000 Miles seems to be pulling it off. My only complaint (if you could call it that) about being 8000 Miles a bit of everything to everyone is that the menu is really large; it took all of us a while to decide on what to order; on the flipside, it gives you plenty of reasons to return. Our group started with four appetizers - potstickers, crab rangoon, scallion pancake, and fried spring rolls. Seeing as there were five of us, I wish our server gave us an inkling about portion sizes. With all of our food preferences, it ended up working out, but not everything was easily split 5 ways. I tried every item except for the potstickers and of those four would recommend the scallion pancake and spring rolls. The crab rangoon, while not oily, simply had too much wrapper and too little filling. While the scallion pancake was quite delicious, I suggest asking for a side of sauce; the amount drizzled on the plate simply wasn't enough. For dinner, I ordered the thai basil shrimp and my dining companion and I shared a yellowtail spice lovers maki. The maki was good, not overloaded with rice, whole pieces of fish and it brought some heat; I would definitely order it again. I would also order the tuna poke roll; one of our fellow diners got it and raved about it - it was plated beautifully with lots of raw tuna dotting the top of the roll. What can I say about the thai basil shrimp? Holy citrus Batman! If you do not love citrus, do not order this dish; the citrus was a bit overwhelming, like a slap in the face. A citrus fan, I truly enjoyed it, but was disappointed that there was no hint of the heat the menu alluded to. Otherwise, the dish was great; a colorful dish full of fresh ingredients and a hearty helping of shrimp. What I found bizarre was that one of my dinner mates got the thai basil chicken and it was an entirely different dish; they looked (and presumably tasted) nothing alike. Like I said, 8000 Miles has something for everyone, including a gluten free menu and plenty of vegetarian options. They also have a good drink menu, which includes a Midwest craft beer menu, specialty cocktails and homemade ginger ale. I'm not usually out in the Roselle area, but if I was, I wouldn't hesitate to come back. read more

Average good food. This place is cleaner than most of the other local Chinese restaurants which is a definite plus- service is a bit lacking. The decor/ambience is cool and trendy. I like that they have a patio to eat outside and it's a good location. I got the pineapple cashew chicken fried rice- I was a bit underwhelmed. Barely any flavor, minimal pineapple and cashews. My mom got just he veggie fried rice and the pretty much tasted identical. I was really hoping for a good pop of flavor, disappointing. I liked the spring rolls and sweet and sour sauce. I will go back because it's clean and decent food- just getting something different though. read more
