We were pretty quickly welcomed, and our drink orders were taken. Soon after our food orders were taken and the show started (about 20 to 25 minutes after our reservation time). The staff was great to check and double check regarding accommodations for allergies. We started with Japanese clear soup and salad with ginger dressing. Our hibachi chef was so personable and fun. We thoroughly enjoyed his cooking style, jokes, and the food he prepared for us. We received very generous portions of food and many of us walked away with leftovers. I am excited to return. Every part of this experience was great.

This was a a mixed experience for sure. I had Lovely Thai on my list... but I have a Thai spot I…read morelove, albeit far from here, so I never got there. The Google results still reference the old name and this Yelp page still shows the reviews for the old name so I'm not sure if this is just a fresh branding or actually a new concept or what. That confusion aside, I placed a takeout order online. Afterwards I realized I was charged a fee for this so if I order here again it'll be by phone... they also ask for a tip despite no service being involved which I think we're all pretty sick of. I ordered a chicken Thai basil entree, wonton soup, and the appetizer sampler. 50+ dollars when all was said and done which seemed like a lot for the quantity honestly. The email said my food would be ready in 30 minutes, it was faster. That's good technically but if you planned around that your food would be cold by the time you picked it up so just head right over after ordering. It only took 15 minutes, possibly 20. Walked in after getting my message that my food was ready but no one was at the counter. I think I waited 5 minutes for a worker to show up and hand me my order which was just sitting in front of me anyway. Can you tell we're not off to a great start? I get my food home and fix myself a plate with some of everything. VERY hit or miss. Let's talk the sampler first. Fried shrimp rolls were pretty good. Executed well if just a bit bland. Egg rolls were sad, just not very good and really no substance to them. Potstickers are small and just ok. Worst Crab Rangoon I've ever had. Tiny, not crunchy, a teaspoon of cream cheese for filling and certainly no discernable crab whatsoever. Hard pass on those and this sampler platter as a whole. The wonton soup was a slight improvement. Nice broth with a strong garlic flavor I enjoyed and tasty dumplings. The pork in it was dry and not worth eating but not awful, but this was basically a small soup for 15 dollars and it was pretty average. I'd expect more quality and/or quantity at that price point. Now, my Thai basil entree was the standout. And it REALLY stood out. This was great! Maybe the best iteration of this dish I've had, and it's my go-to Thai dish. I ordered medium spicy 2 times on their online ordering system, it asks 2 times and I'm not sure why. One was listed as "food prep" the other had no listing so I was, again, confused. I just locked it in twice and hoped for the best and it was perfect! I like it hot enough to clear my sinuses but it's a fine line and this hit the mark. Flavor, heat level, doneness, all nailed. It came with a small white rice that wasn't very fresh. The place has a fair amount of tables but it was quiet and awkward in there. They need some music or something. So yea, this place is kind of all over the place. Would I come back for that Thai basil? I definitely will. Would I recommend anything else I ate? Not really. Overall I wasn't impressed with the price to quantity ratio, and the quality didn't do much to make up for that. Maybe stick to authentic Thai dishes when ordering here and skip the generic Asian dishes. They DO offer sushi and a few other Japanese dishes and I didn't try any of that, so I can't speak on that side of the menu.

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.
