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.

We've had better in bigger cities, but hey, this is Gurnee, and food options are limited. So go here sushi and ramen around here, What really stood out was the service. There was only one server working the whole place, and it was packed. She handled it like a pro and was super sweet, especially with the kids. Her service push this rating from 3.5 stars to 4 stars. We'll definitely swing by again next time we're in Gurnee.

Service was on point, very welcoming, professional and consistently ensuring needs were met from follow up on food after delivery to ensuring drinks were always topped off. While the exterior may look like standard strip mallesque design, the interior is modern with great music to enjoy in the background while able to entertain casual conversation amongst friends. It was like a transition into a sushi oasis as you pass through the doors to enjoy the fresh flavors the chefs prepare for you to enjoy! The portions, flavors and detail involved were excellent and by far this was one of the best sushi establishments I have visited in some time. Highly recommend checking out Blufish if you have that growing desire for sushi in style! It will be a "boat" load of fun and your tastebuds will be happy as well!

Aki of Japan may very well be the biggest oversight I've had in terms of Lake County restaurants…read more The exterior is so unassuming and even somewhat forlorn. However, the experience inside is anything but. The staff were so welcoming and genuinely seemed happy that our part of was there. Our group of 8 sat around a hibachi table. 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.

I had the teriyaki chicken bento which came with teriyaki chicken(tasted good, the chicken itself was not flavorful with the only flavor coming from the sauce), veggie tempura (pretty good but was very oily), miso soup (tasty), 4 California rolls (didn't taste fresh), fried rice (didn't taste right for a fried rice and was too sweet), and last but not least, seaweed salad (which was good). Additionally we got a sparking water and another seaweed salad and the total came out to over 50$ which I'd say is on the pricy-er side. I'm not sure in recommending this restaurant, but I'd say to give it a try if you want!

We didn't come here for AYCE, we saw the sign for Oishi and that drew us in. Tucked away, I mean tucked away in the corner, off a shopping plaza on Milwaukee, the prospect for delicious sushi brought us here. My companion ordered a few specialty maki, another one ordered ramen, and I ordered a few pieces of Saba and a roll. There were a few tables chowing on the $30 AYCE sushi lunch. If that's what you like, go for it. My companion pronounced her sushi "Oishi," and the other said their ramen was just ok, rather bland. My Saba was delicious. The only thing that brought down our visit was the TV, practically in front of our faces that was broadcasting a person we didn't want to see. Oishi Sushi is Oishi.

Quickly seated for party of four and placed drink order right out of the gate. Good selection of cocktails, Japanese beers and sake to choose from. Hefty list of appetizers and always enjoy a good gyoza and calamari! The salmon bento was calling my name and it was a perfect blend of fresh veggies and perfectly cooked salmon to enjoy with a side of rice. It is a cozy casual vibe with an upbeat feel here and great for anything from solo to group dining. Excellent service from the attentive snd friendly staff both quickly bussing table, drink service and even ensuring our parties "not the best with chopsticks" novice users with aided ones.

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.

Establishment is very bright and clean. Making it even better is a drive thru window for orders you call in and can pick up at the window. Yay! We chose to dine in. We ordered the Mongolian beef dinner with jasmine rice. Plus the Barbecue Korean Beef dinner. Additionally an order of egg drop soup was large enough for two to share. We also had the crispy egg rolls. The portions were large, nicely presented and absolutely delicious. Beef very tender and I was very happy to have the entree presented with just the right amount of onion. Lately other places we've tried have presented a very small amount of beef and way too much onion to fill in what they are chintzing you on. Couldn't be more impressed and very excited to have found our place. We can't wait to try other entrees. They are open for lunch and dinner - I don't think this restaurant will disappoint!
