    Really great tasting, server was excellent! Highly recommend and will be coming back. Miso ginger dressing on the salad was so so good, ramen with the pork was amazing. Jalapeño crab avocado delicious.

    Wonderful sushi!! Friendly service. Great atmosphere. Loved the hot mango tea and the Goyoza is the BEST I have ever had anywhere! Fresh ingredients and beautiful plates.

    We had dinner here on Oct 6. Decor, service, and food were all good. I ordered ramen. My son and husband ordered katsu. We also ordered some rolls. Everything was delicious. I also loved the teapot that the hot tea was served in. I think the only negative was the value. Pricey food that did not reflect the sushi roll portions. I would still recommend and will be back.

    Sake Flight

    Our favorite suburban sushi restaurant in the local area. Each time we dine here, we enjoy something new. And we've never been disappointed. This time I tried the Sake flight and oh yum yum yum !! You've got to try.

    Godzilla Roll

    This is my first time at this lovely quaint place. I was having lunch with my colleague whom suggested this place. The ambience was nice, clean. Our waiter was very polite and attentive. I had the Godzilla roll which was very good and fresh. Also miso soup was very good and hot. I love boba tea so their Chai Latte Mango Tea was amazing. I will come back again for a new "lunch spot"

    Blue Wolf And Vegan Roll

    Came on a good date to get some good rolls because that's what we were in the mood for. It has an upscale feel but it's more casual than it looks. OTOBO is in the one shopping center in Bolingbrook on Weber Road. Going there it's never been that busy. This is in the same plaza as Pita Zone. Amazingly it's never been busy. It could just be the current situation but the parking lot is always full. There's other places in this shopping center like Pita Zone. Along with sushi were the drinks. They have Japanese beer and harder stuff. I got the Blue Wolf, one of the cocktails that sounded good. It's $5 at happy hour. This is made with Cruzan Strawberry Rum, blueberries, and lemonade. As for the rolls we got the best sounding one. We both got the Vegan Roll. It's $9 and it's a pretty small one. This has avocado, cucumber, mango, and oisho sauce. Food is good but the portions are small and expensive. It has these tiny ass rolls. They don't give you much for what they charge for these.

    Clean, family oriented restaurant. Love the calm, romantic interior design. Spacious patio seating. Table aesthetic was classy, very date-friendly. Food was fresh and flavorful. They had several unique sushi choices. The sushi portions were quite terrible. For $15+ specialty rolls, I expect thick pieces of sushi. The portions were as small as grocery store sushi, very sad. Both the Dragon Roll and Temptunavo Roll were both portioned rather small. The portioning ruined a lot of the experience of the restaurant. We ordered three rolls and still wasn't full. I would not return here for sushi but I may come for a appetizer or drink. We ordered their Elder Old Fashion and was impressed. It wasn't too unique of a Old-Fashion but it was tasteful. Overall, sushi there is a no-go. Drink was great. Don't recommend for all my sushi connoisseurs.

    I note this place is really a 3.5, but Yelp doesn't have that rating option so I rounded them up. The service was really friendly and welcoming. They ask had good social distancing as well. If you're in the neighborhood and looking for good sushi this is a good spot but not a great spot. Overall the salmon rolls I ordered were y favorite. For the spicy salmon I didn't love their Mayonnaise blend.

    Sushi pizza...absolutely awesome!
    Joan S.

    Ordered contactless pickup during Covid-19 pandemic. I am very impressed by their sanitary methods! I would feel very comfortable ordering from them again. Everything was fresh and delicious! The service was very courteous and efficient. I am so addicted to those spicy shishito peppers! And I recommend the sushi pizza as a n interesting addition.

    Love this seating area

    Had a nice lunch at OTOBO. Stopped here for a business lunch. Was impressed over all and was inline with what reviews I found on yelp prior to stopping in. The Holy shishito peppers for a starter for the three of us and really enjoyed those. Not to hot at all... and the sauce was a nice smooth touch. I was in sushi mode.. and went with a couple rolls. First up was the Sumo. A thin tempura roll which was not to heavy like some others. I didn't care for the cut on the roll since they were falling apart but figured out the best way to enjoy them. Then a classic spicy tuna roll. Fresh good quality roll that I enjoyed. Good service overall- slightly slow at times. I would suggest checking them out if your craving some good sushi.

    I don't feel like sushi here was very impressive. And oddly I didn't like the soy sauce even though it was kikoman.

    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.

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.

Also upgrading the fried rice here is ALWAYS the move - trust me on this one! Since our last visit, they've added noodles to every dish as well!

Can't wait to come back to try more of their sushi rolls next time Shinto's is THE place to be!
