For me, an okay choice within Hmart. While the presentation and selection is definitely nicer than the average supermarket sushi spot -- I wasn't particularly impressed with the flavor or ingredient quality. Prices are in line with what you'd pay at any other supermarket for sushi, but still high enough I'd consider going to a full sit down for similarly priced sushi. read more

I've been a fan of Udon Noodles for many years, ever since they had a location near the Washington Brown Line stop. Their udon noodles are perfectly made -- soft but still with a nice bounce. My favorite is shrimp tempura udon. The tiger dishes are delicious, and the portions are very generous. The owners, Jimmy and Jeanine, are a lovely married couple who are always kind and welcoming to their customers. Tip: If you visit after 6 PM, they offer a buy one, get one free sushi deal -- definitely worth it! read more

Came inside to H-Mart for some later evening shopping. While we were there we initially looked at the H-Mart sushi aisle, but then I looked over behind and noticed the Tokyo lunch box . I would say that the way the H-Mart aisles were stacked, it was actually a little bit hidden so you have to take a look against the side wall. Since we were here around 6:30pm we took advantage of their 50% sushi deal and picked up a really nice options of both regular sushi, larger sushi wrap type rolls, and sashimi still available. There was a short line at the time of others taking advantage of the same deal. The man at the register filled our order very quickly, and he was so sweet and joked with us. The sushi was pretty good as well and we will definitely would get again! read more

This was one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. The employee working there was extremely rude and aggressive. When I asked a simple question about my food order, she started yelling at me instead of helping. I had already paid for my food and was simply asking to receive my order. Instead of resolving the situation, she threatened to call the police on me. This was completely unacceptable and very unprofessional. No customer deserves to be treated this way. I felt disrespected and shocked by this behavior. Management seriously needs to train their staff on basic customer service and respect. I will not be coming back. read more

Service was great! This place is inside HMart in Niles. I have always bought rolls from them but when I saw the Katsu meals and honestly I saw a guy eating it on a nearby table. I had to get it and try it myself. I bought the Chicken Katsu and it was tje bomb!!!!. So tender, perfectly seasoned and cooked. Came with veggies and rice. I would go back again and again and again for this! Must try! What are you waiting for??!!!! Run!!! Happy eating!!!! read more

The sushi here is so so good, and they always have incredible sales! The staff is always so kind and sweet, and the sushi always looks beautiful. The refrigerated area the sushi is in is so well organized and beautiful. I will always recommend this place! read more

5 stars overall! The lady who works here is always SO NICE and helpful. My partner is gluten free and she helps us make sure we get a gf option and she offers free gluten free soy sauce which is rare to find lately! Sushi is 4 stars to me, and the bowls I would say are 5! Also the reviews about BOGO offers not being fresh is funny because that's the POINT? it's BOGO later in the day so it doesn't have to be tossed at night. So of course it's not as crispy but it's also HALF OFF. If you want super fresh go to a normal sit down restaurant :) Overall tho it's great for quick sushi that will fill you up! read more

Located in H Mart, to the right when you walk in. It's next to What A Dumpling. We came after 7 pm, so it was buy one get one Maki free. If you're looking for good quality, look elsewhere because the quality was like average kind of bland. The shrimp tempura was not crunchy, it was too soft. The spicy Tokyo deluxe combo was not fresh, it was probably prepared earlier in the day. This is a good place if you're just hungry and want something to either fill your belly, or to supplement your meal at What A Dumpling. The cashier very nice and helpful though. read more

I eat here quite often just because of its proximity and convenience, and every time I come it's a treat. The price is pretty cheap, but the price isn't reflected in the food. Everything here is fresh and tasty. And the service; the people working here are so nice! I couldn't recommend this place enough. read more

On 3.25th, 2025 I ate a salmon burrito. On 4. 2nd, I got my card statement. Instead of Tokyo Lunch Box, a Permanently closed business name was charging its price, $14.45. At 7pm & 7:12pm I called here, but nobody picked up the phone. The Hmart CS woman HeeJung Kim 김희정 said, they close at 7pm and open at 11(?). So I gave up calling them more to solve this issue! *But if I google their website, it said they open for 9-9. The Hmart CS person gave me a wrong information! On 4.3rd, at 9:12 am, I called again. A Mexican employee said the owner Mr. Kim comes at 5pm. Around 5:05 I called 4th time ! To a woman on the phone, I asked the owner Kim, but she said he's not there. I said the employee woman told me that he'll be at the place at 5pm every day. She repeated he's not there. I asked her when he's coming back. She asked me why. I explained what happened. SHE SAID SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! Excuse me? Aren't you a Korean? I asked her. She didn't answer. I asked her name. She said 00 Kim. Aren't you his wife ? Then why do you pretend as if you're not a Korean ? She said she's not an owner and why she should tell me she's his wife ! And she said, " You mean you took money from my place, right? Then bring the proof, And I'll refund the amount!" Oh, my ! Do you "sell money?" I took money ? Isn't there a restaurant? I said I ate lunch there! When I explained you again in Korean, why do you say something odd ? She didn't answer. She rather asked my name ! Gosh ! Why do you need my name ? I asked her to focus the problem and asked her again, WHY AN UNKNOWN PLACE in CHICAGO CHARGED ME THE $14.45 FOR MY LUNCH WHEN I ATE IT AT HER BUSINESS IN NILES ! BUT INSTEAD, SHE COMPLAINED THAT I MADE HER UNHAPPY, COMPLAINING ON THE PHONE !!! I ASKED HER AGAIN TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED, BUT SHE HUNG UP THE PHONE !!! WHAT THE HACK IS IN HER MIND ???? Mr. Kim ! You give me a call & explain to me what happened for the charge of 3.25, 2025 ! BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T PICKE UP THE PHONE & DIDN'T GIVE ME A CALL, I CALLED H-MART AND ASKED THE HEEJUNG KIM TO ASK THEM TO GIVE ME A CALL, BUT SHE REFUSED IT, AND A DIFFERENT WOMAN CAME ON THE PHONE AND SHE SAID SHE WILL DO IT. BUT, SO FAR THE TOKYO RESTAURANT NEVER GAVE ME A CALL TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM ! read more

one of the best service I've ever had. the place let us eat after closing and gave out free water.

Pretty pathetic salmon and shrimp tempura maki... where is the shrimp? Oh is that the shrimp? Hmmm very shrimpy in size indeed. read more

Tokyo Lunch Boxes & Catering - Shrimp tempura maki - Japanese Near Me - Niles, Illinois

STILL IN LOVE!!! I honestly do not think there is a better place to get your fast-food Japanese fix. Its been 5 years since i eat here weekly. I'm never disappointed. If there's an issue w my food, i call to let them know. They make it right next time. I read reviews for TLB&C of smelly environment and allergic reactions from the sushi rolls... 1st of all, this business is inside a supermarket that has a fresh fish market. It WILL BE FISH SMELL around you!!! 2nd: don't buy and eat things you haven't tried before without sampling. For your OWN safety. Stay safe and hungry! read more

Great place to have Japanese style bento box. Really like the conversation had with the owner Jinny. Will come here often for great Japanese cuisine. Highly recommend the bento boxes. read more

Tokyo Lunch Boxes & Catering - a bento box with rice, meat and vegetables - Japanese Near Me - Niles, Illinois

This is the saddest meal I've ever had in an Asian food court. It was worse than some airport restaurants. Teriyaki chicken bento box: -- Dry, bland, tasteless chicken -- All the portions were stingy (very small), down to the sorry little pot stickers and the dab of seaweed. They even skimped on the rice. They should be ashamed of themselves. read more

Food: Fish katsu ($7.99): food portion is decent and it comes out just cooked so unlike some sushi items, it's fresh...tastes just ok.. *comes with miso soup with mushrooms in it (that's a first).. Restaurant lacks.. -Communication: they need a microphone or something to call out the orders when it's ready or delivery to the tables would be nice.. :) Costs: on the higher end for the portion/quality of food, but I guess you can expect it from a food court.. read more

The sushi is alright but the noodle dishes are fantastic, especially the ramen. Mighty tasty and filling.

Tokyo Lunch Box is just A-OK. I used to work at an internship in the city, and ended up going to one of their other locations in Chicago and remembering it was decent sushi for its price. It's located inside of H-Mart, which has a small Asian food court on the right side of the building. There are choices of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean cuisine, a 180 degree difference from what you see in all other food courts. I love the convenience of it because its super close to work, so when I crave sushi and don't feel like ordering takeout from a nearby restaurant, I just come in and go in a manner of minutes. They have all types of maki rolls and nigiri ready to go, but you can also ask the chef for other requests. The quality of the sushi is a good 3.5/4 stars considering where I get it from. It's not as fresh, creative, or delicious as you may get from a high-end restaurant, but it's undeniably better than sushi from other grocery stores (Garden Fresh, Whole Foods, etc.). My favorite is the Spicy Tokyo Deluxe (picture attached). It comes with a 6 piece Spicy Tuna and 5 pieces of different nigiri. I rate it 3 stars because I find the prices are too high for what I get. I have an amazing spot I go to near my work as well, and I get more sushi for less money there. Also, they are very cheap when it comes to ginger and spicy mayo. There is maybe 2 pieces of ginger in each box, and when I asked for extra, I was given a total of 6 small pieces. I asked for spicy mayo which I am sure I paid for, and I didn't even have enough for all the sushi. Regardless of my issues with this place, I still find myself here every once in awhile and I will continue to do so. The man working at the counter is very friendly and I don't mind giving them more business. Also, they have a special (at least I remember seeing it awhile ago) where you buy one roll, get one or two free after 5 pm. I will def keep that in mind next time I stay at work late. read more

Not sure what I should have expected. I walked up and bought a couple packages of sushi that were already boxed and sitting in the front case. Don't know how long they were sitting there, but I was expecting them to be decent as it is a sushi place inside an Asian market. It was terrible. Could barely eat it. Guess I'll never buy sushi unless it's made to order. read more

For fridge-kept sushi, I'm a fan. Tucked within the food court area of H-Mart, TOKYO lunch box offers a variety of ready-to-go lunches, as well as made-to order foods. I came late in the afternoon, and was suckered by the B1G1 Free marketing. Great ploy, and reassuring to know that the sushi is made fresh daily, rather than kept in the cooler for several days. For about $7-10, the rolls are flavorful and meaty. You can definitely note that the sushi rice takes a hit from the cold exposure, but it's not super dry or stale. I had the California roll with masago. Surprised to find the imitation crab (Pollock) was as meaty as it was (good sized!) and really had a nice flavor to it. I gobbled this roll down. However, you'll notice they definitely use a drop of wasabi in each piece to hold everything together. You'll get that zingy after note. I don't mind it, but others might. The other roll I had was the spicy shrimp tempura, which was finessed with some spicy mayo and unagi sauce (I always love). Flavorful, but simple. I still think I liked the California better for some reason. Maybe it just tasted better refreshing, and I prefer any shrimp tempura with that fresh-from-the-frier heat to it. I'd definitely grab more to go, and might even be interested in trying their soups sometime. read more

This place is just terrible, first time I came ordered a pork kimchi ramen, it was terrible. Broth is not even close to tonkotsu, noodles were soggy. And yesterday I pass by the owner was yelling Buy One get Two Free! So i was thinking thats a good deal. So i got a couple spicy tuna rolls and stuff. Rice was hard and ice cold. Fish is not fresh and I'm sitting on my toilet right now writing this review. Avoid. read more

This is a place you go when you are craving sushi or udon but do not want to pay outrageous prices. They have a 2-for-1 deal Monday through Friday. It is from their premade selection only. The sushi was fresh for the most part, and I was able to get a very filling meal. For under $10, I got a spicy roll sampler and a rainbow roll. For some reason, the salmon was a bit more "fishy" tasting than what I would like. Service was almost nonexistent. The guy at the counter helped me pay but that was it. Other times, I have had their udon soup. It is typically made fresh, but I do not think they make their noodles onsite. Very solid option otherwise. read more

Not even worth the one star!!! I came here and got the one one get two free deal!!! I got the tuna and another kind of tuna and the fish inside smelled and was dark! I thought it was normal but I was wrong! The next day, I had a huge allergy reaction due to what kind of fish that was. I will NEVER EVER go to this store again! The rice was hard and everything was just bad! Just pay the $12 for some good Korean food!!! read more

I will never buy anything from Tokyo lunch boxes in the future. On Nov. 10 around 7:45PM, I purchased two sushi boxes since they had B1G1 promotion for to-go. After I came home with the two sushi boxes, I realized that rice inside the sushi is so hard that we couldn't eat them! read more

Inside the H-Mart's food court... I don't eat in the food court often.. but once in a blue moon... if we are grocery shopping, we may stop by for a quick bite to eat... I keep forgetting that I don't like their maki but since I'm not there very often, I tend to forget... They have these "buy one get one free" deals after a certain time of the evening... probably the last 3 hours before closing time. Basically, they bring over all the leftover sushi from their other locations and they are trying to get rid of them with the BOGO free deals... The rice is very hard ... and you can only get the cheap ones for free... buy the expensive one... and then cheap one for free... To be honest, I don't think it's really worth the "free" deal.... On the side note, unless you are super hungry .... in general, I wouldn't really recommend eating in this food court, period. Everything is way overpriced! read more

It's nice to have this in the HMart for a quick good meal while, before or after you shop. It's not crazy awesome sushi but I think it's pretty darn good for being in a grocery store. My only complaint is that it's pretty pricey for what it is. You can get higher quality for the same price in the city. Al the rolls are good as is their miso soup! It has mushrooms which I love! read more

I keep coming back to this place (might have to do with the H-Mart that it is in but regardless...) This little shop still has some of the best rolls. Come late and some days and they have a 2 for 1 special. read more

I've gone here a couple times considering it's only a couple minutes away by foot. It's located in the cafeteria section of H-Mart so it can be pretty loud and busy. Regarding the food, it was alright. I've had their sushi multiple times. They're good. Not bad, not amazing. Just okay. Their meals are pretty filling. However, when I ordered the fish katsu, my fish was way too hard. It was a bit difficult to chew. I also never eat the small side of salad they add to the meals because I don't like the dressing they add on. Like I said, the quality of the food is alright. It makes sense considering the cheaper prices. read more

What Clifford J. said. I like their beef U-dong, too. Very nice on a cold day. If I'm looking for a specific sushi roll that is not ready-made, the chef will make it for me, no problem. I also like a nice cucumber salad with my meal and he'll make that for me fresh any time. read more

Everytime I go to Super H-Mart, I always look forward to going here to get my fix of a roll or some udon. The sushi's cool but a lil overpriced. They cater though so it's a convenient two birds with one stone if you've gotta get some groceries at H-Mart for a party that's going to be serving sushi. read more

"BUY ONE GET TWO FREE". My friend and I were looking for a place to grab a quick dinner and we passed by Tokyo Lunch Boxes. The workers were promoting their sushi deal. I think they have this special Monday-Thursday from 6-9pm, or something like that. My friend and I decided to split some sushi. I had the spicy tuna with brown rice. It was my first time trying sushi with brown rice and I liked it! It was a good deal considering how much we got. read more

I used to really enjoy this place in the Super H food court but after visiting Tokyo and eating sushi there I have since become a little snobbish. This place is a fast food type joint, with prepared foods at a cheap price. They'll make for you too if you ask, either rolls or nigiri. But it just doesn't have the freshness or quality that I'm looking for. The tuna is OK but it's a little chewy. So, it's a decent place for a snack if you're shopping at H Mart but temper your expectations accordingly. read more

Loved it. The ambiance, the service, and the food were really good.

If it would be possible to give this place a zero star rating I would. Having just tried to buy dinner at this location, I was promptly shown the special buy one more expensive one get one cheap one free. After exploring the expensive options i decided to pay full price for the cheaper ones instead. At which point the guy behind the counter promptly took the contents out of my hand and told me to buy the special or nothing. Flabbergasted I walked away and came back a minute later to ask why the cheaper stuff has a price on it if it's not for sale. At this point I think he realized he went to far and moved to what he thought was a middle ground and told me this once he would sell me the cheaper stuff without buying the expensive stuff as well. I was so upset I walked away and decided to post this to warn others. I will never grace this or any other Tokoyo Lunch Box in the future after this experience again. There a plenty of grocery stores that carry the same quality sushi for similar or cheaper prices. read more

I really only come here on cold days to pick up one of the udon soups, the sushi is decent, but most of the reviews here expect something amazing when its a food court sushi spot. No the noodles are not made on site, like the rest of the other ones they make them from a package and jazz it up with extras. Pre-made sushi is ok if you get it early enough, but near mid to the end of the day the rice gets so hard. If anything the ones that don't have raw fish would be your better bet since you can kinda heat those up a bit. Spicy mayo is just sriracha and mayo mixed, everyone has both in their home. Please stop complaining about that. The guys that work there are friendly and no they will not come to your table to enhance your dining experience to see how you are doing, again its food court sushi. Price is a little higher than some other cheap places for sure, but I'm wondering if its cause they do make some specialty rolls on site? Oh well. xD read more
