The people that run this place make sure you are walking into your home dining room to eat. The decor is very sound and welcoming. I have come so many times now that we know the servers by heart. They are very kind and go above and beyond to make your experience a great one. I ordered the sweet potato roll and added spicy tuna. The roll usually comes tempura, battered and with avocado already which most places don't even do. The quality of the fish is phenomenal and fresh and the whole roll put together is great. Another spectacle at this location is the chocolate most dessert. They make it every week and it is a colder version of a three chocolate layered Ferrero Rocher. The side salad is fresh and comes with a ginger glaze, and the miso soup is a perfect balance of savory with the included toppings. Overall everything on this menu is a must try and the ambience, plus the service plus the food makes this an above and beyond place for the suburbs of Chicago. I also met the owner, Michael. He was very kind and one of the things that resonated with me was that he said I want to keep things the way they are. He did mention that the chocolate mousse dessert might come off the menu, which I advised and highly recommended not to do. It is homemade and wonderful and a fan favorite, whatever you do, please continue making that one item. Tim, one of the servers is also a phenomenal person that has been there from the start and is so respectful and courteous in his service. Amazing job in keeping the place feeling like a home and so welcoming!

The restaurant is decorated so nicely and thematically. The roof looks authentic and the there is a pond and waterfall inside the front door. The food is familiar to the American pallet but different enough to be special. On this occasion we had the crispy Szechwan beef, honey walnut shrimp, sweet and sour pork, and the orange chicken. My favorite was the honey walnut shrimp. It came out of the kitchen fast and tasted great. I recommend Sun Shui Restaurant.

Only three tables, and really not very welcoming as a setup. Functional and clean, just not with any kind of atmosphere. The food is actually very good! We tried two different dishes, mine being Mongolian Shrimp. LOTS of Shrimp, and wonderfully rich (and spicy) flavor. We also added egg rolls, and though tasty, were not hot fresh. They would be better if made to order with the rest of our food - or brought out ahead of time, if this was the case. Just an idea for the owners. ;-) Overall, excellent option for take-out, but not so much for dine in. Great option to keep in mind when we're looking to take Chinese home.

We ordered the Lemon Buttered Sea Bass -- pan-fried Australian sea bass with lemon butter sauce, sautéed asparagus and white rice. The sea bass was perfectly seasoned and really good! The rice, unfortunately, was a bit hard and cold, so that wasn't my favorite. We also got the Secret Garden Roll with avocado, greens, cucumber, asparagus, shiitake mushrooms and pickled radish, rolled in black rice and wrapped in soy paper. Vegetarian and gluten-free. For a gluten-free option, this was actually pleasant and tasty! The restaurant itself is chic and fun, and I think it's a great spot for a date night. The only downside for me was the music. It was SO loud that I felt like I was shouting the entire time just to have a conversation. Overall, we had a nice meal and I'm glad I finally checked out the Arlington Heights location!

We had to stand in the lobby for 5 minutes without much information, while other groups who came in without a reservation after us were seated before us. Furthermore, the reservation was for the "Patio" and while technically we were seated on the "Patio", I would say it was the bottom rung of the patio. Sat at the first table outside the restaurant, underneath the awning with a bird's nest overhead chirping the entire time. Essentially in my opinion, when you make a reservation somewhere, you don't really expect to be seated in probably the worst location they have to offer. Food was pretty decent. We had two bowls basically. Both were okay, like any Sushi style restaurant, prices were a bit high, especially considering their location in the heart of the AH downtown. I would come again, but for a first try it wasn't anything special for sure.

This review is for my first visit to the Wheeling Chicago Ramen location. I have been to their Des…read morePlaines location once. My family and I had been wanting to go to this location for a while and a recent weeknight presented a perfect opportunity to check out this establishment. Located in a small plaza in front of the Westin hotel, this Chicago Ramen is a nice little spot for grabbing a delicious bowl (or two) of ramen. Upon our arrival, we were seated promptly. Our friendly server provided the menus and shortly after was ready to take our order; however, we were not ready yet and took a bit longer to order. The menu was a condensed version of what I have seen at the Des Plaines location. There were six Ramen options, a handful of appetizers, extra toppings options, and beverage options. Also, there was a Ramen special menu and a Kids menu. A few minutes later, we placed our order of 1) Edamame, 1) Karage, 2) Shrimp Wonton Ramen, and 1) White Miso Ramen. The apps of Edamame and Karage came out soon and the ramen bowls followed shortly. The Karage were freshly cooked. The Karage were chunky, meaty and plump chicken nuggets. The meat was juicy and tender, and they were lightly battered. The flavor was decent and the texture was okay. I felt that a bit more frying would have helped it taste better. My Shrimp Wonton Ramen was the start dish for me. It was everything I wanted as far as the flavor of the broth and the texture of the noodles, shrimp, and wonton were concerned. The broth was hot and fresh. It had a nice savory flavor and I added some of the table side condiments for extra umami and spicy taste. The noodles were of the right texture where they had body and good slurp-a-bility factor without being soggy and sloppy. The White Miso Ramen was a nice creamy and rich broth that came loaded w/ cuts of pork that were tender. It was also delicious. I enjoyed my bowl of ramen a lot and managed to finish it instead of having leftovers. It hit the spot perfectly. We had a good experience and would go back. If you haven't been to this spot, then definitely check them out.

This Chicago Ramen is a small restaurant, so far, we have not dined in, we would rather eat in the…read morecomfort of our own home. However, it has been our go-to place for ramen takeout for some time now, this review is focused on their takeout ramen. After about two years' time, we have narrowed our preferences to the Red Miso Ramen with Egg and the White Miso Ramen with Egg. Both ramen comes with a big piece of Cha-Shu (pork), bamboo shoot, and green onion. The Cha-Shu is very tender and flavorful, and the egg cooked just right. The ramen noodles are bouncy with the right texture. When it comes to broth, the White Miso Ramen is definitely a winner over the Red Miso. I found the broth of the Red Miso a little too thick and there is a taste that makes it less pleasant than the other. There is ground pork in the broth of the White Miso, which adds flavor and complexity to the texture. Portions used to be very big, and I used to have leftovers. However, recently portions have shrunk and I could finish the entire bowl of White Miso Ramen with Egg in one meal with no problems. It would not be enough to feed someone with a bigger appetite than me. They had made a couple of mistakes in our takeout orders a year ago. Since then, they have been accurate with the orders and timing has also improved. I am pleased to have Chicago Ramen in our neighbor town, and a bowl of tasty ramen is so close by. I just saw that they have added Shrimp Wonton Ramen (and two other items) to their menu recently. Next time I might give that a try.
