I wasn't very impressed with my visit to Sushi Para in Palatine. I'm not a big fan of raw fish, so…read moreI asked if I could substitute a California roll for the salmon roll in the lunch special. They wouldn't allow it, which was surprising because other sushi restaurants I've visited have been much more accommodating--especially when the substitute item is equal or lower in cost. It definitely started the meal off on a frustrating note. I ended up ordering the Salmon Bento Box, and overall it was below average. The salmon didn't taste very fresh to me, and the grill marks looked more like they were added for appearance than from an actual grill. The whole dish just felt a bit off and not what I was hoping for. Between the lack of flexibility and the underwhelming food, this visit just didn't hit the mark. With so many other sushi places nearby that are more accommodating and offer better quality, I'm not sure I'd return.

We've only tried Chicago Ramen, Palatine location this one time. It was a bit of a weird…read moreexperience. The restaurant was empty when we arrived, a few tables arrived after we were there. I believe we ate lunch on a weekday. The service was ok, a few of the items we wanted to order were not available. Their sushi chef was not there that day, so no sushi was available to order, along with one or two other entrees we wanted to order. The food was average, nothing that stood out as great or exceptionally bad. The one thing I remembered thinking positively was the curry chicken rice plate. The curry sauce was good. The chicken wasn't the traditional breaded chicken cutlet, rather pieces of chicken karage, which was good. I don't know if it would be fair to say we'd never go back to try again, but we do have places we really like near by, so it isn't likely we're going back anytime soon.

This restaurant has nothing. They have only a good ambience…read more I can get good ambience at a damn picnic ground in the forest. Food? WHAT FOOD IS THERE FOR ME TO GRADE!!!! Service was atrocious. There's one small woman running the entire FoH and she's claiming she just started today can't run the PoS system. They don't have free refills on tea. Ordering experience was horrible at best. Lady. It's like an iPhone just type what I asked for in it. I shouldn't have to point at it in the menu. If you can't understand English that well then you don't need to be working in a hospitality field, go find another job as an ESL learner. The restaurant floor isn't a place for unskilled people. She had to multiple times to back to the kitchen to ask some man about things. Everything here is stupidly expensive. Drinks are overpriced. A bowl of soup that I can get for $8.99 at the local Asian marts food court costs near $20 This is just another hack chain restaurant trying to bilk money. Don't open your damned restaurant if you don't have tofu. Thats basic Asian. Don't bother opening if you don't have your flagship soup or sushi and just have crap available. I finally got fed up after ordering sushi getting told that out of stock and then ordering fried tofu which is in the damn supermarket across the street. That too out of stock. Incompetent management. Incompetent employees. How the hell does this dump have over 15 locations. Must be a dark money laundering network for p3d0ph1l3s Also. Major red flag when you display a MASSIVE case of alcohol in the front unsecured foyer. I could have easily smashed and grabbed hundreds of dollars in liquors and easily dashed in a getaway car. This isn't an eating restaurant. It's a place for hacks to get drunk. It's open late for the exact reason of it being a dive bar playing off as a restaurant. It's not a restaurant. RESTAURANTS HAVE FKN FOOD IN STOCK. BARS DONT HAVE FOOD IN STOCK

I really enjoy Ramen House. I've ordered for pick up and delivery several times, and everything…read moreI've ordered has always been very delicious and fresh. My favorite is the Tonkotsu. Very delicious broth! Only complaint is that I've had some pretty chewy pork a few times I've ordered, but overall- it hasn't been a consistent issue.

Shakou upon entrance lets the atmosphere set the tone. It's sleek, modern, and energetic without…read morebeing over-the-top. There's a kind of "night out" vibe here, even if you're just grabbing dinner on a random weeknight. The menu is creative, with specialty rolls and fusion-style dishes that feel a little more elevated than your standard lineup. When it's on, it's really on. Service is iffy to be honest. Staff is attentive and knowledgeable, and the whole experience feels polished. Drinks are well-crafted, and the patio (when open) adds a whole extra layer to the experience. That said, this is where the missing fifth star lives. Shakou can be a little inconsistent. Some visits feel like a five-star experience, others land closer to "really good, but not unforgettable." A few dishes might lean a bit too sweet or not quite balance the flavors, and during busier times, things can feel a little rushed or loud. But even with that, it's still an easy recommendation. This is a great spot when you want sushi that feels a little more upscale without going full fine dining. It's stylish, flavorful, and usually delivers a really solid experience. Four stars, comfortably... with just enough flashes of brilliance to make you keep coming back!

Made a 6:30 reservation here on a Friday because I was given a gift card for Shakou. The arrival /…read moreseating was disappointing. 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.

I have been eating TTOWA for over a decade(?) since I came across Terry's stand at a festival in…read moreDTAH. The food is consistently delicious, the service wonderful, and it always makes me feel special when Terry greets me at the restaurant! There are tables accessible at the time I eat dinner, haha, but they fill up later! The restaurant is dark and quiet and the bathroom is clean. We're a bibimbap family--chicken and pork, respectfully. Sometimes in a hot stone bowl, sometimes not. The buns, japchae, and assorted bonchon are all delicious, too. I prefer the aioli sauce over the traditional sauce on my bibimbap. I still remember how during COVID Terry had the ability to donate meals to thank the frontline workers. Also, one time, something was missing from my delivery order and Terry himself drove it to my house to apologize! Those are the offerings and moments that make a giant difference. Overall, I am always happy with the food, service, and love supporting a small, local business!

This is not Korean BBQ where you get a plate of raw meat and cook it at the table; if you want that kind of "interactive dining experience," head up to Vernon Hills, Ttowa has the experts in the kitchen to do the work for you (not to mention, better than most of us ever could). Did I mention the dak buns? Just to be sure: Dak Buns!!!

Poke Hale is soooo delicious! Hubs and I were craving sushi, but it's pretty pricey these days and…read morewe've had some "off" meals at our usual places we decided to have poke instead. Poke Hale was our favorite and yet somewhere along the way it fell off our radar as places to eat. Well, we are back!!! Our order can be easily made online. Hubs and I go with the Build-your-own Bowl. A regular bowl allows 2 proteins and a large bowl allows 3 proteins. We can have a reasonable amount of adds in and toppings. We started with appetizers of edamame, shrimp tempura, and Crab Rangoon. All were really good, there was a good amount of edamame for the order. Everything was fresh and hot! The portions of the poke bowls were generous and filling. The Hale Ginger dressing was SO DELICIOUS!!! Service was friendly and quick. We placed our order online and picked up. The woman at the counter was appreciative of our order, doubled checked to make sure we weren't missing anything, and thanked us for choosing their business. She was so nice! The inside and outside were clean and comfortable. There are tables for dine in. Plenty of space for people to stand without bumping into each other while waiting to order or waiting for our order. We will certainly be back! Not only is this such a well priced meal, it was absolutely delicious! *No pics - I forgot as I was really hungry and it was all really good!

Poke Hale is consistently good. I've never been there when it is crowded so I hope they are doing well. They certainly deserve people trying them.
