This is the perfect place to dress casual or even dress up, but I was in the mood to just chill and have some excellent sushi. A friend and I shared 4 rolls - mango tango, tuna lover, Ogden avenue roll, and the great Naperville roll. Everything was delicious and fresh. I would order all of these rolls again and I probably will! I'm also looking forward to trying their entire menu. It's that dang goooooood.

It is a bit pricey as it is a downtown Naperville location, but it fits for a lot of family activities that tend to match what I do: friends in Bartlett, swimming events nearby, etc. They have two(!) nice outdoor seating areas in addition to lots of space inside - making this a great consideration for summer. I've been here at least 2 if not 3 times now, and I will be coming again. Happy hour menu during Happy hour (which I believe is Sunday) is well worth it. I found my photos for both days, and added them. I do appreciate they have the qr code stuff for paying at the table as well. I'll write more and update the next time I visit, but Blue *is* a good place to go. A good, vegan friendly place to go in specific.

When I go out with my infant I usually bring a stroller. Places have been hit or miss when I bring it in, but thankfully Blue Sushi Sake Grill had no issues with it. They placed my group in a spot where no one would be reaching over or around my baby. I greatly appreciated this! The options for happy hour are large, probably the best happy hour menu I've seen, EVER. The deals included drinks and food. I tried the white peach daiquiri and it was refreshing. It was a bit on the artificial side but overall I really liked it. It comes with boba which I found super fun for this drink. For food we tried the calamari and 4 different rolls. I don't normally like fried calamari but from Blue I LOOOOVED it. It was crispy, tasty and also comes with veggies. All the rolls were delicious too. A friend suggested we try the cowgirl roll and surprisingly it was so good! Reminded me of a cheeseburger in sushi form, super fun! This is a spot I see myself being frequent and recommending to others.

Yamada Sushi and Poke has been on my radar for quite some time and today was finally the day I had…read morea chance to have their sushi. The delivery was smooth and the anticipation of a new, at least to me, sushi place was exciting. An extensive list of options was available on their menu but we opted for the Eel avocado roll, a spicy Tuna roll, Yellowtail scallion roll, a Dragon roll and Miso soup. That was the right amount of food but I could have easily eaten more as this may be my new favorite sushi restaurant in Naperville. That says that a lot because there are many very good sushi options in Naperville. The Miso soup however was a small portion that I could also have ordered a portion three times the size and that still wouldn't have been enough especially since it was very good, just not as hot as I like which is understandable due to delivery and not a dine in order. I'll definitely keep Yamada on my list of must visit sushi restaurants. From the selection and quality I hope Yamada will stick around for awhile.

I'm told there are Teppanyaki Restos in Japan, but less theatrical than the Benihana models here in…read morethe USA. We do like a bit of cabaret with our meals, don't we? I've been a few places like this, from the familiar Benihana to a long-shuttered shithole storefront in OakPark where the Chef tried valiantly to put on a show, but fortunately he was a better Chef than a Showman. Shinto, here, is a fave of Daughter #3 and her family so we took over an entire table with our Party. A bit of Sushi pre-show, (it was edible) and then, curtains UP! The repertoire of Chefs in all these joints are quite similar, and the quality is measured by how inspired the chef is, and THAT metric is subjective to the receptiveness of the table. If all are ready to have a good time, the Circuses will match the Bread. If there's a Bruno Bummer in the crowd, it's going to be a long meal. Fortunately, our crew is of the "fun" persuasion and the Chef seemed to be, as well. The theatrics were the usual moves- tossing knives (and bits of Shrimp) in the air, and each of us got a chance to catch morsels in our mouths (mostly futile). The "onion train" thing, and occasional flambé were there, as was the balancing of the bowl of rice on a knife. The "Mustard Bottle with a string" is always good for a laugh. The Menu is pretty much the same at all of these places-Shrimp, Steak, or Chicken, Salad, Fried Rice, Veggies. All theatrically prepared in front of you. All of it top-quality and tasty. It would have been a great feed even without the stage show. If you're particular to only one type of dressing on your salad, you're out of luck unless you're into Soy Ginger, which is the onliest topper you're going to find here. Personally, I dig it, but Wife who is a Ranch aficionado took a pass. The Fried Rice was exceptional. There was nothing out of the ordinary in the ingredients, so the Chef's deft hand was responsible for the Yum. The Chef was quite fun, and he got our steaks off at the perfect desired temperatures, while keeping up the theatrics. There's an option for "French Garlic" topping for the proteins which is basically Garlic, Butter, and Breadcrumbs. This stuff would make a ceiling tile palatable. If you visit here, I highly recommend it. If you're looking for something different in the Hibachi line, this ain't it. But the show and the food were top-notch Throwing a well-deserved 5 stars.

Our server, Katie, was amazing. She was attentive, funny, and gave great recommendations on both food and drinks. The menu has a wide variety of options, so her guidance definitely helped. We ordered hibachi, which was delicious and a fun experience. The chef put on a great show and even gave us cues for slow motion videos, which made it extra memorable. A few people in our group ordered sushi and said it was really good as well. I had the shrimp dinner and added calamari on the side. The shrimp portion was generous, and everything tasted great. My only complaint is the noodles. They were very thin, similar to Pad Thai noodles, and I personally prefer thicker hibachi noodles. The soup was one of the best I've tasted. The ambiance was cute and spacious, with a cool fish tank and the drinks were a highlight. I had a coconut sake drink that was so good I'd honestly go back just for that. Overall, great food, fun atmosphere, and excellent service. I would definitely return.

The wait staff are very nice, but sometimes a robo-cart brings the food to your table instead of a human. But the wait staff checked on me when there was down time. I enjoyed every roll except for the fried one (Chicago Fire) which was a bit dense and heavy. It's nice that rolls, sashimi, hibachi appetizers, and dessert are all included in the all-you-can-eat price, so you Jane lots of options. The dining room is spacious and lots of booths, which is nice. But you need to order from a tablet at your table, so if you are really old fashioned that would be a draw back.

Okay... what to say. They unlocked a new pet peeve for me at AYCE--and honestly, at any restaurant…read morefor that matter. I'm incredibly laid back and tip well. However, as a customer I felt completely unwelcome and neglected. They literally handed me the tablet and left me to my own devices. I'm sorry, but what the actual fuck? This isn't my first rodeo. Even when they're short-staffed, most AYCE restaurants at least bring you water, take your drink order, and explain how their AYCE system works. (Luckily I'm not new to AYCE, so I knew not to over-order, but I'd be pretty annoyed if I were a first-timer and no one explained anything.) They didn't do any of that. I had to ask for water, and thank God I'm over 21 because I ordered sake through the tablet and nobody ever checked my ID. (So yeah... if I were a parent, I wouldn't let my teenager go here alone.) The part that didn't piss me off? They had a great variety on the AYCE menu, and the sushi had the perfect rice-to-fish ratio--so bravo for that. Some places give you almost double the rice they should, which honestly feels a little insulting. If I'm paying for sushi, I want to taste the fish, not fill up on rice. Had the service not completely and utterly ruined the experience, this easily would've been 5 stars and a generous tip. Unfortunately, the service overshadowed everything else. Which is honestly ridiculous. They need to figure out a better system--whether that's having a dedicated drink runner for the whole floor or closing part of the dining room until they have enough staff. Being that short-staffed isn't just bad service; it's how restaurants end up making serious mistakes, like accidentally serving alcohol to someone under 21 because nobody ever checked their ID. Mine was never checked. I did notice my servers seemed to rotate throughout the meal, but that doesn't change the fact that no one ever asked. I'm literally not asking for much. Water. Food. Maybe take my drink order. I mean... that's a really weird concept to expect at a restaurant, right? I'm honestly the easiest customer to please. Give me good food, a glass of water, and you can neglect me the rest of the meal. Ironically, I noticed the items I paid extra for that weren't included in the AYCE came out pretty quickly. So I guess I drank half the tip instead. Good thing I'm a responsible adult, because if I wasn't, I probably would've drank the whole tip waiting for someone to bring me water or take my drink order. In my book, mediocre AYCE gets a mediocre tip. Had the service matched the food, this easily would've been a 5-star experience.
