Spacious once inside, this place was clean. The service was great. The chicken fried rice was a bit sweet but had great taste and was a plentiful portion.

How and why this place isn't jammed at lunch baffles me. There's a massive amount of bang for the buck here. The dining room is massive so there's no problem even if there are others dining. The service is insanely fast and they have really good tea and water. It's all home made quality and that's what makes the place impressive. A+ cleanliness score was attained across the restaurant and the examined women's restroom. The men's room was not examined and will not be examined due to female examiner.

I specified my arrival time (which was not asap) and the food was being packed as I arrived. Perfect. But, of course, most importantly, how was the food? It was excellent. The nori was fresh and moist and wrapped the roles very well. I'll call out the handroll of hamachi. Several beautiful fresh slices of fish with rice in a nice hand roll. I recommend. Also had individual sushi pieces that were well assembled and tasty. I'm not looking for cheap sushi. But I was impressed by the relatively low prices.

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.

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.

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.

My partner got the miso udon and it was also overly salted. Whoever is cooking i hate to say this but its just not good and not being made the way it is in the original ramen house.

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.

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!
