    When it comes to good quality sushi, we cannot beat this place for the price. We come here often even though we live about 35 to 40 minutes away. The spicy tuna hand rolls have a nostalgic taste that we always come back for. Their menu is extremely vast. Even if you're not here for sushi, they have so many other good things on the menu. If you're someone who likes a lot of different types of makis (rolls), you have so many different options to pick from here. Some rules are served inside out, with brown rice, avocado wrap. You can find different rolls that are classic or you could find unique, different makis with different flavors and sauces. The staff always treats us very well here. It always feels like that we are with family whenever we come to this restaurant. The location is always very clean, relaxing, and you're usually able to get a table here pretty easily without a long wait. We cannot recommend this place enough. Every time we bring someone else here, they always speak highly of the quality. Thank you for such a great dinner as always!

    Pineapple Fried Rice

    We had the pleasure of going here for dinner and omg, the Vernon Hills and Purple Dragon roll taste so good. We also enjoyed the rice and ramen. The service was quick and the waiter helped us with options from the menu. I also love that they serve nuggets and fries for the kiddos. The restaurant isn't huge but we've never gone and felt that it was overcrowded or uncomfortable. The decor is pretty cool too! Definitely have gone here several times and would go more if we lived closer.

    sushi San special combination One with salmon and one with chicken.

    Overall ambiance is 4.5/5. Service was 5/5. Nothing notable or exceptional, but took care of basic needs. Food 3/5. Chicken and salmon teriyaki was decent, but the sushi it came with just didn't do it. Rice did not taste or have the texture of sushi rice. Felt mushy and loose. The stir fry noodles was ok with al dente texture. The mashed potato and chicken nuggets (tasted like microwave) was a poor method to fill the tray.

    Further down Rt 60 (Townline Road), past the mall is Sushi Kushi San3, which is the third Sushi Kushi (1 in Highland Park, Too in Lake Forest). I am assuming if you like either of those (I do, I do), then you will probably like this one also. We came on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. The restaurant was fairly empty, we were seated in the window alcove at a large table. The lunch special is still in effect on weekends so I ordered the katsu curry lunch which comes with a standard green salad with ginger dressing. The katsu looked to be a portion for three--crisply fried, sliced tender pork katsu bathed in a slightly spicy brown curry sauce with rice, and a dollop of pickled red ginger. It was cooked perfectly, the sauce was delicious--this was perfect for a chilly fall afternoon. My companions went with ramen--ginormous bowls with molten hot broth, thinly sliced char siu and ramen and vegs. This was super filling and tasty and they could not even finish half of it, the rest taken to go. I also had some saba nigiri -- the Saba was perfect--oily, bathed in a light vinegar, tender -- although the rice fell apart. We really enjoyed our meal -- service was timed perfectly -- server was cordial and efficient. Lunch seemed a perfect time to experience a leisurely meal.

    Barria Ramen, with a side of onions, cilantro, and lime

    Everything was so very good. I wanted to try the barria Ramen. Though I knew it was gonna be spicy. It was spicier than I anticipated so I did slurp the broth a little too fast. So warning to future slurpers.

    My husband and I ordered a pickup through the Too Good To Go app. We got three rolls, which filled up the take out box. The flavor of the rolls was average, but that may be because we didn't get to close which rolls we got. I'm still excited to try their food in their restaurant.

    Purple Dragon Roll
    Kristianne B.

    One of my favorite sushi places to go to. I usually opt to get the seaweed salad and the purple dragon roll. My favorite thing to order. Service is usually pretty quick. Came in and it wasn't that busy at the time. The prices were up a little more but that was expected.

I will describe the place as more of a modern take on Ramen with Korean elements. everything tasted excellent in my opinion. I was torn between getting the yellow curry, Ramen of the day or the pork belly Ramen. To help with the decision They gave me a side of their pork broth to try for the next time I come in. So I ordered the yellow curry Ramen of the day since the pork belly is on their menu daily. The broth for both was so good. Since it was just me dining, I did have plenty of leftovers which were just as good a couple days later. Especially since the tofu in the Ramen really soaked up some of the flavor of the broth. I will definitely come here again, especially for that Tokyo old-fashioned. It was delicious. It was made with a tequila versus a whiskey and I think about it every day.

The shrimp was sautéed with no seasoning at all and the scallops hand zero salt or proper on them. The plate came out smelling of cheap fish which is a bummer since this is an Asian restaurant known for its food and sushi. After the terrible risotto, I would have thought the manager would have come over to apologize or something, but no visit at all. Not even a check in from them while we were there.

It immediately brought back memories of my time in Japan--it tasted exactly like the authentic bowls I had there! The only downside is that the noise level is a bit high, making it hard to hold a conversation. Otherwise, it was a fantastic experience, and I will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    This review is solely based on delivered food…read more It was interesting discovering the place for the first time. I was there to visit the bakery across the hall from them, when the name CM Chicken caught my eye. I was super weirded out by the fact that it was *inside* a mall, and still don't know exactly how I feel about it yet. Chicken n' beer places in my mind are usually "late-night" hangout spots that focus more on the drinking aspect if it, and malls are something I don't usually associate with late nights. Then again, it might just be nothing more than my personal preconceived notion. What do I know about how kids these days hang out, right? I do, however, consider it an amazing convenience to have a chicken place that's 10 minutes away from me that I can get Dash delivered any time I want. Most of the reviewer and all the photos they've posted gives me a rough idea that most of you have already tried the KFC -- Korean Fried Chicken of it all. As you may or may not know, there are plenty of competing brands out there. There also are varieties to choose from within each brand. CM differentiates themselves with their "Snow" chickens and "Green Onion" chickens. Add to that, this particular location, I've found has a very expansive menu, offering some of very traditional Korean style "anju" -- think bar grubs -- that gets me nostalgic. But, I'm not here to talk about that. I'm here to rant and rave about the CM Tong Dak today! Koreans call it the "Yet Nal Tong Dak," which roughly translates into "old school fried whole chicken." This is the stuff that gets us, gen-X'ers nostalgic about our childhoods back in Korea, where "salaryman" dads would bring home a giant brown-bagged chicken on their monthly pay day to treat the kids to a special dinner. We're talking '60s thru '80s, where Korea was not quite the first world country it is today, and was still being rebuilt. They didn't have access to crazy varieties of spices like today, so the only thing they used to fry up chickens was with basic flour plus salt n' pepper. Naturally, we have access to more spices that we can use to spice up the flavor, which is what CM does with theirs. In that, it's not exactly the same flavor as what I can recall from my childhood, but sure adds more flavor to it. As long as the method in which they're fried mimics the old, I'm happy. The differences between these kinds and any other KFCs are mainly two things; batter has to be super thin, so that you can get super crispy skin, and it must be fried whole, without being chopped apart. If you're some kind of a fried chicken connoisseur, let me tell ya, you *MUST* try these kinds of KFCs. Crispy skin with super moist, tender, juicy meat is crazy satisfying. This cannot be done if you were to chop the chicken up into multiple pieces, and can only be accomplished by deep frying the whole chicken. Add some pickled radish and salt/pepper for dipping, then accompany with some light beer to wash it down? Mm mmm mmmmm..!!! At my first visit, it definitely helped to be Korean, speaking Korean to the owner when I first discovered the place. He was super attentive in explaining what his schtick was all about. He could immediate tell that I come from the old world, where I would be less interested in all the side menus he'd created, so he only wasted his efforts in explaining what I should be focused on, which naturally was chicken. He could immediately tell that I was interested in CM Tong Dak, so he made sure to explain to me that it takes extra amount of time to cook up this types of chicken, so that I can manage my expectations when ordering. I didn't think I'd ever come to a mall to sit down and order a whole chicken to hoover down, so it didn't bother me. Plus all things considered, I was super impressed with the amount of time it took to get the Dash order delivered a few times. It would have taken me 15 minutes go, pick up, then another 15 minutes to come back. Delivery didn't take much longer than half hour from the time I ordered, and chickens were super hot both times. I was just exchanging a thought with my wife during tonight's dinner that we have it "easy" now, compared to what we would have had to have done, when we lived in less accessible places. People who live in large metropolitan areas with wide variety of ethnic cultures should *NOT* take these accessibilities for granted. Everyone should realize that there are plenty of semi-rural places all over the States, where immigrants yearn to replicate their favorite foods from memories, and be thankful for knowing what you know and having what you have. Alright, that last part was definitely an old man ranting. Forget the unnecessary preaching, but please do try the Tong Dak. You won't regret it!!

I didn't try the Korean fried chicken, but I did try the Original Spicy Tteok-Bokki - very delicious and a nice spice level to it. Portion size was also generous and included 2 fried dumplings. We also tried the ramen which was decent, but the Tteok-Bokki certainly was the star of the meal. Service was very good - the owner was super friendly and explained what things on the menu were. Inside decor is pretty cool as well - definitely a lot of homage to K-Pop if that's your thing. I'd recommend a visit for sure.
