    SLIME SHRIMP CHOP SUEY MUSH !!
    Denise B.

    Food extremely slimy and old taste. Do not order anything? Close it Down Nothing will improve Close it Down!

    Sigmund K.

    I tried this place out of pure curiosity, despite the reviews, as it's been around for so long and I kept overlooking or forgetting about it even when I lived here. I went with my parents and daughter for lunch on a Thursday and it was pretty empty aside from one other family (my parents had never been here either). We were promptly seated with the server being somewhat polite but not necessarily warm or friendly and didn't smile at all the entire time we were there. Interior is nicely decorated and spacious and looked moderately clean. The menu is huge, which is to be expected for a restaurant with pan-Asian cuisine. I was initially going to get the lunch special Pad Thai, but the server said the portion is smaller than the regular Pad Thai so I opted for the regular size since I was pretty hungry. My dad ordered the Singapore Rice Noodles, my mom got the Pineapple Fried Rice, and we got a Tonkatsu and Rainbow Roll to share. I ordered an avocado smoothie and I got a kid's bento for my daughter that had fried rice, broccoli, two pot stickers, and two fried shrimp. The kid's bento is nice since they provide different food item options to customize it. We didn't wait too long for our food, but that's where the experience goes downhill. The Pad Thai was hands-down the most bland Pad Thai that I've ever had, which is strange because it looks like it had enough sauce on it. The chicken itself was okay but it was still so, so bland. I used the lime and that's literally all I tasted afterwards, but I still finished it because I was that hungry and don't like wasting food. My parents didn't fare much better with their dishes. The pineapple in the Pineapple Fried Rice had a really weird taste to it, like it had gone bad. Additionally, both that and the Singapore Rice Noodles were incredibly salty and they could only take a few bites of each before they had to stop, so I felt really bad. The fish on the Rainbow Roll didn't look or taste fresh at all either. My daughter enjoyed her bento so at least there's that, but the fried shrimp was probably 95% breading and 5% shrimp (not even exaggerating). The only decent things we had were the avocado smoothie and the tonkatsu, although the tonkatsu was made super thin. I still feel bad that I dragged my parents along, so now I know to go alone the next time I want to try something out of curiosity. Usually when I have a disappointing dining experience I can say "I'm glad that I tried it, at least," but I'm sorry to say that that statement doesn't apply here.

    Pad Thai Lunch
    Annie K.

    I got the lunch special. The soup was egg drop soup I believe and it way okay. Nothing amazing, maybe slightly under seasoned. I got the Pad Thai with crab rangoons as my entree. The Crab Rangoons were basically just cream cheese, not much crab in it. The Pad Thai is what stood out to me. I took a couple of bites and couldn't finish it. It was really sweet. It tasted like the noodles were mixed with a bunch of sweet and sour sauce. Over all it was a lot of food for the price (under 15) but the food was just not to my taste.

    Thai Fried Rice Lunch, Chicken Broccoli Lunch Special
    Anita P.

    I feel like this food kinda is what you pay for. It's very mid, but I guess that's expected at this price point. They do have solid fried rice and the service is quick, so I'd still recommend it as a good place to stop for lunch in downtown Naperville. Overall the food is very average though.

    Pad See Eiw Mongolian Beef

    Adding on as my daughter wanted to come back just three days later! We had the Pad See Eiu again but added a Mexican sushi roll which was honestly below average. Will have to try other sushi next time.

    Honey walnut shrimp
    Sherwin C.

    Ordered some delivery from Jin 28 and had a mixed experience. The food took quite a bit of time to deliver (over an hour) despite the restaurant being less than a mile away, well after normal dinner hours (late evening), and the size of the order being small. Portion sizes were alright for the price, though most other restaurants do fill it completely full and this was only partially full except for the fried rice. The flavor was in line with expections. Orange chicken was sweet and a little spicy, with deep fried batter (no longer crispy by the time it arrived). Honey walnut shrimp had sweet and crunchy almonds with a fairly sweet mayo and lightly cooked broccoli. The pineapple chicken fried rice was a little underwhelming, with a good amount of onion and vegetables, but wasn't as aromatic as i would have expected. Overall, the food was alright and the prices reasonable. But not a top choice next time I need some Chinese delivery.

    Crab Rangoon
    Jessica T.

    Walked in and there was only one couple dining inside, which I should've taken as a sign that this place wasn't good. There was no one to greet us so we just sat ourselves at any table. We ordered crab rangoon, and for the sushi rolls we had the mushroom roll, salmon roll, sakura roll, spicy crabmeat roll, and spider roll. The crab rangoon was alright, not the best I've had but also not the worst. The salmon, mushroom, and spicy crabmeat were good but the other rolls were just okay. There's a lot better restaurants nearby I would not come back to this restaurant.

    Pad Thai
    Jakyah O.

    Ordered from them twice to-go and it was so GOOD! I was sick craving soup and pad thai and I was not disappointed. Their portions were great and I recommend trying the hot and sour soup. The restaurant itself is small and kinda hidden but it also cute inside.

    Chicken Chop Suey
    Ken J.

    Our group had sushi, chicken chop suey, General Tsao's chicken, and sesame chicken with broccoli. Also mai tais. The food came out quickly, nice and hot. Mai tais were good, had fun straws. It was not very crowded on a Sat nite, we got there at 5. Everyone liked what they ordered, they also have Thai selections to go along with the Chinese, and sushi. I found the chop sticks a bit " slippery", had to switch to a fork.

    Amazing sushi, cool vibes. Ate here last week and had an…read moreamazing time, the sushi is a next level, culinary experience. The chefs signature rolls are so innovative, I've never had any rolls like them anywhere else! The flavors were surprising and delicious! With flavors like a truffle vinaigrette, garlic sauce and strawberry and mango featured in maki we were blown away with flavor! It was all so good. And it was beautifully plated. Also unique, Chef Soon has nigiri that also features unique flavor combinations an we had several that were so so tasty. I want to go back and try more! My favorite bite of the night is a tie between Chef Soon's Special Maki and the Zuke Salmon signature nigiri. The vibes of this restaurant are so hip for being in an unassuming location. We felt like we were downtown Chicago with the quality and atmosphere! We can't wait to go back!

If you're a cheesecake fan, it's a pretty sad way to end the meal. Thankfully my last sushi bite was the Zuke salmon, which is always excellent. We spent around $350, which normally isn't an issue because we've had great experiences here in the past. But this visit was frustrating. My sister-in-law has a serious allergy to seeds and peanuts, and we were crystal clear about needing no sesame. In the past, the staff has been extremely careful and accommodating. This time, two rolls came out with sesame. We were willing to let those slide and said it was fine. But then they brought out a third roll with sesame--and that's when we got agitated. At that point, it really ruined the shared meal we were hoping for. What was safe tasted great, but the repeated mistakes took the enjoyment out of the experience. We weren't in any rush, but it definitely felt like the kitchen was winding down for the night. Chef Soon also wasn't there, which was disappointing because it genuinely felt like the attention to detail wasn't the same without him. And not to sound cheap, but after that many allergy-related mistakes, there should have been some sort of acknowledgment of an apology, actions speak louder than words. In my opinion a small discount, a complimentary dessert or app, something should have been offered. Instead, nothing. Chef soon is my favorite sushi restaurant. I often tell anyone in Illinois it's the best I've been to here. Normally this is a solid five-star spot for us, but tonight was a three out of five at best. Mistakes happen, and I'll be back... but this visit was honestly pretty upsetting. I think I may be on a search for a new favorite sushi place for my sister.

It's a beautifully converted old mansion with manicured outdoor spaces and an elegant interior. The white tablecloth atmosphere delivers on the promise of a special night out. That said, if you're coming expecting a transportive Spanish dining experience, temper those expectations. A few decorative plates on the walls aside, the space reads more traditional Southern manor than Iberian escape. Charming, yes. Spanish, not really. Now the food, because that's where things get interesting. The cream of rice soup was a genuine highlight. Buttery, brothy, deeply comforting. The kind of dish that makes you lean in after the first spoonful. The baguette served alongside it though? Stale. Sliced too far in advance and the butter arrived ice cold, straight from the fridge. At $100 plus per person, that is a detail that matters. The Queso con Pacanas had beautiful individual components but suffered from what became a recurring theme of the night: strong flavors competing rather than collaborating. The pungent cheese steamrolled everything else on the plate. The wine soaked pears showed up again later on the Chuleta de Cerdo, and while the idea is lovely, serving a pear half unsliced in a fine dining context means you're asking the guest to do compositional work that the kitchen should have already done. The Jamón Iberico is the most expensive item on the menu and the meat itself is worth every penny. Nutty, buttery, exceptional on its own. But the parmesan blanketing the flatbread crisps overpowered it completely, and a lone raw garlic clove sitting on the plate with no instruction is not fine dining. Our server was sweet enough to explain you're meant to rub it on the cracker yourself, and she handled it with grace, but that explanation should not have been necessary. The Patatas Bravas were well seasoned with a solid aioli but landed mushy rather than crispy. A miss. The Gambas a la Plancha was the clearest win of the evening and not by coincidence. It was the simplest dish. Well seasoned shrimp, bright lemon butter, nothing fighting for attention. Sometimes restraint is the whole answer. The Chuleta de Cerdo had a beautifully cooked, smoky and peppery pork chop and a mushroom sauce that genuinely complemented it. But then the cinnamon heavy root vegetable puree pulled the whole plate in a completely different direction. Our server was genuinely wonderful, funny and warm and attentive even while training a new hire. She was the clearest bright spot of the service experience and the one thing we left talking about fondly. We left the rest of the meal a little baffled. The head chef hails from Valencia, and we were told that influence shows in the food. Maybe it does and our palates just weren't reading it. But between the confused flavor profiles, the inconsistent execution, and a cuisine identity that felt more scattered than intentional, we walked out laughing and scratching our heads more than satisfied. Beautiful place. Lovely server. The food just never quite found itself.

It was plenty of food, topped off with smores for dessert. The meat was fresh. Lots of meat, good beef, some pork, and a few shrimp. The salads were good... might be better if we'd asked for the salad dressing on the side. The sukiyaki was surprising in that it was more like fried rice. Spicy chiggae soup was yummy, nice and spicy. So much food. Super yummy. Park in the structure around the corner on Chicago Ave.

    Came here in a Monday for lunch. We had a reservation for 230. We arrive at 215 and there is no one…read moreat the host station. Ahead of us is a couple and another guy waiting. After 10 minutes the host comes and tells the couple they have tables but they aren't cleaned yet and he's waiting. Mind you the restaurant isn't packed, but there are a few tables dining. I'm guessing they were understaffed. Anyhow, after another 10 minutes the guy ahead of us gets seated. Nothing was said to us. Another party of two came and they were also waiting and they flagged someone down. The host said the same thing as earlier, they have tables that haven't been cleaned. 10 mins later he goes to try to seat them knowing we were there first. The lady even told him, well they were here first. He went ahead and seated them anyway then came back and got us. It's 245. I told him we had a reservation for 230. The lack of communication from the host was off putting. We were hungry and my son really wanted bbq. I would have gone to SGD, but they are closed on Mondays. Anyhow, we wait around a good 10 mins before a server comes to take a drink order. Again, they weren't completely packed, I counted 3 servers and a host. We order ribeye, chicken, filet, kalbi and the hirami in a pot for our meats. We also got corn, spinach, a salad and the fried rice and an order of white rice. I ask him if that's enough food and he says yes, but you can keep a menu in case you want more. Our table was 2 adults and 2 kids who are 11 and 9. Fried rice comes out first and the meats. I ask him to bring the white rice too for my son. He said he forgot and will grab it right away. Let's just say he brought the white rice a good 15 mins after...and I had to remind him. So my son is sitting there eating his meat with no rice. The hirami in the pot was a good size but there were 5 pieces of ribeye and 5 pieces of filet and 5 pieces of chicken and maybe 8 pieces of the kalbi. How is this enough for 4 people? So we order another 2 orders of kalbi. I don't know the happy hour portions are tiny. We also needed refills and that took a couple reminders. We also ordered another order of rice. We are pretty much done eating when I ask him what happened to our rice order? He said he will check and that he ordered it awhile ago. He comes back within 2 minutes with our rice saying there was a mix up in the kitchen? Was it really a mix up or did you just forget? By the time we get our check it's 445. Why did this take so long? We have been there before and we are usually in and out in an hour and a half. So they took the fried rice off our bill. Then for tip, it's asking if we want to tip 18, 22 or 22%? Are you being serious? This guy had to constantly be reminded of everything, service was so slow and he had only two other tables. Someone else was picking up our dirty plates and bringing us the meats. I've never had a bad experience here until now. The visit wasn't worth the $180. Food was good except the filet. That had no flavor at all and had to be drenched with the sauces on the table. We have gotten delivery from here before and the portions were bigger during delivery. One other thing to note, the server never even changed out our grill...they usually do that half way through.
