Just. Wow. SHUT UP…read moreAND TAKE MY MONEY. To start, it smelled amazing as soon as we walked in! The customer service was above and beyond - (I'm guessing it was the owner) explained the categories of menu options and gave his recommendations. He assured us the 1-pepper-spicy wouldn't hurt tomorrow! And when I saw grape sac sac on the menu I got excited because I love it and haven't had it in years - and he brought me a second flavor (peach) just to try! We got the bulgogi bowl and the mep snow chicken. And OMFGWTFBBQ!! the flavors on both were to. die. for. We will definitely be back. Probably next week.

They are located in a plaza so plenty of parking and they are open late (11pm) which is great because of lot of places in the area close early. Sit anywhere and when ready they have a bell you ring. Service was quick and they were kind. There is a lot of stuff going on on the walls but it's a chill spot for sure.

What a great find this was in our travels to the northern 'burbs of Chicago! We were preparing to…read moreleave the area to head toward home, but it had gotten late enough that it made sense to grab dinner before we left. Our 21-month old granddaughter was along so we had to be a bit circumspect in our choice. But my wife and I both like Japanese fare and our granddaughter, whose Mom is Korean, gets a lot of that type of food at home. The location of this place is in a strip plaza tucked away in a non-descript commercial area. It was not too difficult to locate with GPS. The interior was well-kept and made a good impression on entry. Located in a single storefront slot, it was not too surprising that it was narrow in layout. It could probably be described as cozy. We were seated right away and our server attended to us quickly. She did an exceptional job taking care of us during our visit. The food was delivered promptly and was ready to eat with no problems. We started with the Asparagus Beef Maki, which was excellent. Served in a soy-based sauce, it was very tasty. For entrees, we tried a Bento Box (Box C) and a Dinner combo (Combo C). Both featured tempura and sushi. We both gave thumbs-up to these. We were able to feed our granddaughter from our portions amd have some to take home as well. With food, drinks, tax and tip, our total was $76. At roughly $38 per person (cheaper on a per-person basis really, since we fed a toddler as well), this was a good deal. We will definitely go back when we are in the area.

Racist treatment and price gouging at Ichiban Steakhouse, Gurnee, IL…read more I came to Ichiban Steakhouse in Gurnee, IL with my three children after our original restaurant choice was closed and it was raining. What should have been a nice night out with my kids turned into one of the most disrespectful experiences I've had at a restaurant. A woman who I later realized was a co-owner was working the front as if she were just a hostess, and never disclosed that she owned the business. Throughout the visit, she made a string of comments and actions that made clear this wasn't about hospitality: She commented that my son was "cute for a black child." While I was in the restroom, she approached my 17-year-old daughter and asked her why I was "so mad." While I was trying to clarify my kids' order with her, she cut in to tell me she'd "been doing this job for years," rather than actually listening to what we needed. She emphasized extremely long wait times for sushi in a way that felt designed to discourage us from staying. Her body language and tone throughout made it clear she didn't want us there. I watched her demeanor change completely, becoming all smiles with white patrons who came in during our visit. A Hispanic family seated near us witnessed the entire interaction, and their reactions made clear they understood exactly what was happening. We were charged $43 for a single glass of apple juice, 2 bottles of water, 4 side salads, and clear soup, all of which came with meals and service that was subpar at best. I paid it because my children were with me and I didn't want to make a scene in front of them, but I want to be clear: I paid so I could leave with my dignity intact, and so I'd have the standing to fully describe what happened here, not because the charge or the treatment was acceptable. I wanted to give my kids a nice night out. Instead, they watched their mother get condescended to, questioned, and charged an absurd amount by someone who couldn't even be honest about being the owner. As a Black woman and someone who genuinely loves going out to eat, I will not be back, and I want other families -- especially families of color -- to know what to expect here before they walk in.

DO NOT EAT HERE ITS SO BAD. My group and I had a less than ideal experience at this sushi place. We…read morecame in for lunch to have all you can eat sushi, and the menu was extremely small, the options were super limited, only having cheap roll options to choose from. We requested siracha and the waiter gave us a very rude face when she gave it to us, and she charged us $2.50! We got our sushi and the rice was SOUR. It was spoiled and all the appetizers were greasy. I pray we do not get sick from this food, we will share an update.

We ordered our food for delivery and it came SUPER fast esp since we felt guilty not noticing that we were ordering just before closing. We ordered a variety of rolls but my favorite one was the salmon sunshine one. It tasted fresh and the citrus on top made for incredible flavor through the roll. All in all a great experience esp for takeout! We can't wait to dine in the restaurant since take out sushi is always iffy and we had an incredible experience here.

The restaurant is so much bigger and livelier and were so excited to see all of their success. Definitely come early to be able to try their brisket and Tony Mac! You wont regret anything you try but those are defnitely our favorites. Oh and the ribs, if you're looking for the incredible smokey juicy flavor look no further. Any of their bbq sauces are great and pair well, but we highly recommend giving their original a go because of the perfect balance of sweet, savory, with a bit of a kick.

Went here on a Saturday night to grab an early dinner. We ended up going to the bar side which may…read morehave been the wrong decision, as it took quite a while to get our food. Our waitress came quick enough to get our order, it's just that the food took a while. Maybe the side with counter walk-up is quicker. I ended up getting the catfish sandwich with fries and of course tried all the bbq sauces with the fries. The catfish was fried perfectly and the seasoning on the outside was quite tasty. Made for a very good sandwich. The fries were a little soggier/more oily than I would like, but I did use them to try the sauces. None of them were overly spicy, just a good flavor. I think my favorite was the Memphis which had a nice smokiness to it. For dessert I did end up ordering the key lime pie and was very happy with it. Tangy and refreshing! I somehow managed to save some for the next day and it was just as good. Overall, the food was good and the staff was friendly, it just took a while to get the food. There was a lot of to go business, so that's maybe the best way to order.

It took a while to get our orders in but once we did, the food came out quickly. My AAC roll was as expected. Fresh and flavorful.

Bottom Line: Though the sushi/sashimi is good, very pricey and overall mediocre value for what you…read moreget in return. Tried this place for take out but the restaurant ambiance itself looks inviting. I had the Sashimi Regular. The sashimi tasted fresh (no fishy smell or taste) and was quite good. The soup: completely bland. The "salad": A clump of slightly wilted lettuce with something that resembled dressing. The soup/salad accompaniment is very much a disappointment. Umai: seriously. Flavor the soup like you care and dump the silly, embarrassed-for-you "salad" and just provide well prepared rice with properly prepared soup. At $25, for the overall poor quality, I feel I was taken to the cleaners versus a restaurant. THE saving grace was the sashimi but that is not enough to carry me back here for seconds--if I am paying.

Outside of the bags we shared crab fried rice, fried mushrooms and French fries. Crab fried rice - do yourself a favor and get it. French fries are perfect for soaking up sauce Bag contents were all wonderful. snow crab legs were plump and yummy, shrimp was firm yet tender and sweet. Corn was like it had been freshly picked and cooked same day. The only thing that wasn't rave-worthy was the andouille sausage. It was fine, but not epic. Even the forks, claw crackers, and shell breakers were substantial and held up well. Would get 5 stars if: 1. soda fountain instead of bottled drinks and/or BYOB; 2. table side hand cleaning - wet wipes are serviceable, a warm wash cloth would have delighted us, or a table side handwashing station for an over the top experience. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Add this local gem to your rotation.
