    Crazy Tuna
    Naomi W.

    I am so pleasantly surprised by this place. I've passed by multiple times and thought it was weird that they would serve both sushi and Thai food. Being from Okinawa, sushi is a staple in my world. I was shocked to find the ahi (tuna) very fresh and vibrantly red colored. The salmon on the other hand was on the verge of going bad in about 2-3 days. I recommend sushi that has ahi for the quality. The rice was dense and tacky which is not how sushi rice is supposed to be. But overall I would say this place and Sushi Tatsu in Fairview Heights is close if I'm just needing to satisfy my sushi fix close-by. I realize that I will not get true sushi unless I'm on the coast or back home but this place has a thumbs up from me. It helps that the owners are super nice; no complaints on service.

    Best sushi place in Belleville/surrounding areas and one of my favorite restaurants in town at that. We always come for lunch (buy 2 rolls, get 3rd free), and the sushi is always extremely fresh and delicious. Spicy tuna roll and spicy crab are my favorite, although everything I've tried is good. Their pineapple fried rice is also to die for. The owners (chef/server) are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Even when they're extremely busy, you will be in and out within 30 minutes with a gracious "thank you" from the chef. Ps. It's so good that I actually hate Sundays because they are closed.

    Sashimi for 1, notice the pepper flakes....spicy yeah!!!

    Went in for a quick lunch on Halloween day and had the sashimi for 1, the fish was fresh and tasted great. The meal came with miso soup and I ordered a bowl of rice on the side. I asked for some pepper flakes for my rice and what I got kicked the sh.t out of the usual stuff in a shaker. The pieces could have been larger but were cut thick. Will be back.

    The N Illinois roll

    If one were to assume this is a dump, they'd be so very wrong. If you've wondered about this place, I urge you to do yourself a favor and GO IN AND TRY IT!!!! I came in and Maureen greeted me. I asked a few questions about the menu and decided to go with the N Illinois roll and the Philadelphia roll, as well as a Thai iced tea. Little did I know, I could have gotten away with just the N Illinois roll. Now they offer both sushi and some Thai options. I came in specifically for the sushi this trip. The iced tea was delicious, the rolls were well prepared, beautifully presented, and tasted so good. The fish was fresh, there was a perfect balance of sweet and spicy with the N Illinois roll. After I finished, Maureen even gave me a to go menu and recommended a couple of rolls for my next trip. I'm excited to take my mom here. I know she'll enjoy it as much as I did.

    From left: spicy salmon, salmon, tuna, crunchy tuna.

    Great place to drop in and grab a quick roll very fresh and comfortable, not a big place so seating at times is a premium .

    I got some take out and shared a few options with others:…read more - bulgogi lunch special: a smallish portion of rice and bulgogi, looked yummy, $15 - japchae (chop che): chewy noodles with vegetables and beef - kimchi pancake: was okay, barely crispy on the outside with a soft center, had a fair amount of kimchi and a light soy based sauce, $12 - pickled spicy cucumbers: crunchy and fresh, a bit spicy but tasty, complimentary - pickled marinated beansprouts: light, still crunchy as well, not much flavor, complimentary - kimchi: spicy and sour, nice crunch, complimentary I called ahead and the food was ready in about 15 minutes, with a few minute wait once I arrived. The lady on the phone was very friendly and gave recommendations. It's a large restaurant and was quiet inside, would be great for families and groups. They also have a little grocery area inside. The parking lot was large and convenient.

    I ordered the "Dragon Ball" sushi & "Chicken Katsu". The presentation was excellent & the food was…read morehot & fresh. The chicken wasn't greasy at all & super crispy, same for the sushi roll. For the price, the portions were great for one person. 9/10. The restaurant was overall clean although I did not use the bathroom so no comment. Service was great, I was 1 out of 7 people there & I still got serviced pretty quick & I only waited abt 15-20 mins for my food. Definitely will be going back.
