You know, since moving to Schaumburg 2 1/2 years ago, me and hub hub had passed this place a lot…read more It seemed like 1 million times - and all the while we would say "we need to come here sometime!" So, last night was that time! We walked in about 5:15 on a Sunday afternoon, and they were pretty busy! In addition, they had a guy singing acoustically with his guitar, pretty sweet! We were quickly seated, and water came instant instantaneously along with the menus. I ordered a cocktail and hubby stuck with water. He is, after all, the designated driver tonight. We decided to order Arancini and bruschetta for appetizers, while we ordered a margherita pizza for our main. Very quickly, the appetizer showed up - and the arancini's were small, but very warm to the touch and the bruschetta, while small at only four pieces, had lots of mozzarella, tomatoes, and olive oil on them just the way we like it! Needless to say, the appetizers killed it. But what about the pizza? You may ask well, it showed up and it was very hot- not only was it delicious, but it was the first pizza we've had since arriving in Chicago that had a a crust that tasted like many pizzas we ate in California - that was not a bad thing. While we sat there eating and enjoying the music, we commented on how pleasant and simple the restaurant was and more importantly, the staff was wonderful and very accommodating. Do we recommend this restaurant? Yup, and it's now on our rotation list! Try it and tell us what you think will you?

What a hidden gem in an unassuming strip mall! We'd been wanting to visit here for a while, and…read morefinally made the trip after a long Saturday out and about. It was empty when it arrived, but filled up on our way out, telling me it's a popular place for the younger crowd. Either way, you know you're in for a good meal when you see the huge doner rotisserie spinning. The owner (at least I'm pretty sure he was the owner) helpfully walked us through their sauce selection and even offered my MIL some sauce samples. She ended up getting the hot dog with veggies, while my wife and I got sandwich combos (17 for the sandwich + 3.50 for fries and a drink). I was going to share my combo with my preschooler since they don't have a kids meal, but the owner thoughtfully offered some fries with chicken for him. We definitely had to tip well for such nice service. So this is no ordinary sandwich, and the pictures don't do it justice. In pics it looks kind of like a pita pocket, but this thing has some HEFT. Filled with veggies, meat, and sauce, it got a little messy but was really tasty. The veggies were fresh, and it's hard to top meat sliced right off the log. My MIL said her unique hot dog was good as well. To me it looked like a Chicago dog from another dimension, but I also want to give it a try next time. Protip: Ask for your sauces on the side. They're almost too generous with it on the sandwich so it's nice to have a little more control with it. This will definitely enter the rotation and will be letting our friends know as well. Great stuff!

Pretty much the only game in town for Hawaiian style poke in the Bartlett area…read more Located behind Barrington Road, in a building shared with a Starbucks (with Drive-thru), so a lot of foot traffic, but the restaurant inside was not busy. It is the classic set-up, where you pick a base (usually rice) and the protein (usually raw fish), and enhance the texture and flavor by directing the counter person to add various toppings and sauces. The counter person was very friendly, giving us plenty of time to make our choice. She was also generous with the toppings, and I'm pretty sure she would have customized it anyway we want. The prep area was very clean, tidy, and organized, with each bin fully stocked with the prescribed ingredients. There is only one size, with one large scoop of fish and rice being the base, and it's plenty. Some toppings are extra: if you get the basic with tuna and no extra-costing add-ons, it is $12. I ended up getting a predefined bowl called the Da Kine (Marinated tuna) for $13, and it was good: nice mix of flavors and made it simple. Some differences from previous poke places we've been: -- they offer a sushi rice option, taking the same hot white rice, and squirting a sushi (vinegar and sugar) mixture on top of it. In my case, it didn't really add much. -- they have a premarinated tuna option, along with the unmarinated. Some places are now letting you choose your sauce spice mix first, and then marinating your protein choice for you right there. It's a bit more work, but I think it does add something worth it. The marinated tuna that I had was fine, but definitely lacked the absolute 'wow' when eating just freshly cubed ahi tuna. It looks like the Poke Bros are THE place for Poke all around Chicagoland, and they have found a good place to source their ahi and salmon (hopefully) daily, as good as can be expected this far from the ocean.

Never heard of this place but my bf's family wanted to pick up dinner from here for one of our game…read morenights so we headed on over! After trying this place, I really wish we had this in CA (or maybe we do and I had no idea this whole time). I LOOOOOOVE noodles so this place was literally made for me lol. Although when we visited, I was already semi-full from an earlier meal so I ended up just getting their gyoza which was honestly perfect. Super delicious and would definitely get again with some noodles! Service was quick and easy. They have the menu on the left side along the wall before you walk up to the register to order. The interior seating felt a little outdated but I assume most people order take out anyway. Huge parking lot, it was basically empty when we came by! My bf got some kind of teriyaki chicken noodle thing and his sister got some Mac n cheese. The portions are a good size and can honestly be made for two meals for someone like me. Would definitely come back! IG: @ammysalamii

Perfect for a quick lunch, a relaxed date, or a casual meet-up with friends, it combines modern elegance with a welcoming atmosphere. Their bento boxes are popular, and signature dishes like yaki udon and crispy chicken katsu with Japanese BBQ sauce are highly recommended. Seasonally, try the Laura Abbey roll, soft shell crab, Hell roll or dragon roll for a truly satisfying experience. The miso soup and petite salad with carrot ginger dressing delight. The sushi boat sets sail an omekase amount of pieces (7 rolls, 8 pieces of nigiri and chicken karage). The go-to entrees are spicy chicken teriyaki or panko breaded or grilled salmon.

Honestly..these could make an argument for being "World Famous." Although their BBQ sauce is slightly on the sweeter side, it is still quite tasty and the meat falls right off the bone. Others at my table that I shared them with seemed to have a very positive reaction to them as well. Our server was super friendly and he did a good job stopping by on us to make sure our dining experience was overall going well. It's your classic sports bar type of restaurant where they keep the tv volume down pretty low. This leaves room for a more casual dining experience (at least this was the case when I went). Thanks VTG for an overall solid dining experience and I will definitely be back for those ribs!
