I've always really loved hibachi/teppanyaki restaurants and this is my favorite in the western suburbs... mainly because they are the only restaurant around here (that I know of) that serves NOODLES as part of the hibachi dinner. Other than that I like that they use a creamy salad dressing as opposed to the ginger vinaigrette dressing some other Japanese restaurants serve, and the clear onion soup (with yummy tempura bits!) as opposed to miso soup. It's all delicious but these are just my preferences. read more

My wife and I went there for our Valentines Day! It was my first time eating Sushi. It was amazing! Our chef was awesome! If you make my wife happy, I'm happy! So we will go there again! Soon! read more

Anyone who has had hibachi more than a few times knows it can be hit or miss. This looks like one that will be a miss when you walk in but it was a definite hit. Our hibachi chef was funny and entertaining, he covered all the traditional bases of squirting sake in your mouth, tossing food at you, onion volcano, etc. I had the steak cooked med-rare and it was spot on. We also had some sashimi before which was great. They give you the rice but also noodles cooked on the surface which was a nice touch. I would come back. read more

Food was good. Chef came out and began squirting liquid in everyone's mouth only to realize that it was an alcoholic beverage. Very disappointed that this wasn't told to us before he started. Found out after he was done what it contained. Many in our group heard him say it was lemonade. read more

They stopped doing all you can eat sushi so I can no longer recommend them over all the other good choices. If you're going to pay per roll go somewhere with better quality like TL Four Seasons or JuRin. This would be an ideal 1st date spot for someone who doesn't know sushi but wants to impress with ambiance and safe choices in food. The atrium here is the coolest in the area for sure. My party did hibachi dinners and all you can eat sushi and was pleasantly surprised by most of it. (Edit, they don't do AYCE sushi any more. Since the quality isn't anywhere near JuRin or TL Four Seasons I can't recommend it any more as it's not worth the per roll prices here) In the area the competition is House of Tokyo in St Charles and Ju Rin in South Elgin (and Geneva) and it holds its own very well. The hibachi here is the best of the three. The portions are generous and the hibachi shrimp was fantastic. The sushi quality was on par with House of Tokyo but not as good as Ju Rin. read more

My family and I thoroughly enjoy this Japanese restaurant in Bartlett. I find they they have larger portions than some of the other teppanyaki spots in the surrounding burbs. I will say, my review is based solely on the teppanyaki, we haven't tried the sushi or other menu items. The chefs are fun, and really play up the crowd. They also squirt saki in your mouth, which is a fun(but messy!) plus! As for food, you'll get soup, salad, noodles, veggies, and rice(fried is extra) with your protein of choice....I mean, c'mon that's a lot of food! The one thing I thought was odd is that the soup they offer is a chicken broth with mushrooms in it, which seemed odd to me and very American. Would have preferred miso, so I'll ask for that next time! read more

Food is good, the guy that cook our dinner was funny and pretty good at what he does.

We loved this place ! Celebrated my sons 14 birthday the Hibachi Chef was amazing ! Everyone at our table was enjoying him as well as the other tables around us. Food was excellent ! We had the filet, lobster, chicken , octopus, veggies and salad . Top Notch ! Definitely will go back here ! read more

This place is so much fun to go with a big group of friends. The cooks are fun and entertaining! The steak and lobster was awesome!

Tokyo Steakhouse II is one of the newest restaurants in Bartlett. Making its home in the spot formerly known as Nest Café, it is a welcome addition to the barrage of fast food type chains up and down Route 59. We arrived around 6:30pm mid-week and found an almost empty parking lot. Panic struck as we walked up to the door - I'm about to get blamed for a less than adequate dinner...dun, dun, dun! A smiling family walks out the door. I'm feeling gutsy and ask how dinner was. They rave...I'm satisfied and we walk inside. We are greeted immediately by a hostess who escorts us to the dining area. Immediately, we notice the lack of overhead hoods above the hibachi grills. We've been to many hibachi restaurants and have never seen one without the overhead hoods. This concerns me a bit for the long-term. Won't it start to smell really greasy inside and where is the cooking smoke going? We take a seat, decide on drinks and are joined by a family of four. The server brings sealed, hot towelettes to wipe our hands. Drinks are served and kept full the entire meal. My glass was being refilled before it was even empty. I could get used to this. :-) Overall, the food was very good. Our chef was not overly interactive, unless you count when he squirted everyone with water from an inappropriate-in-mixed-company-especially-with-kids-squeezy-toy. I had noticed the toy (see photo) and couldn't figure out why it was on the chef's cart, but I soon learned. This was not my favorite part of the meal. The sequence of the food did not seem to follow what we are used to either. We started with the soup which made sense and was tasty, but it wasn't very hot. My husband pointed out that it was served in cold bowls with cold spoons which probably brought the temperature way down. Next came the salad which was what we expected. I really liked the dressing. They included cucumbers and tomatoes, so it wasn't just lettuce and carrots. Another plus. Then, we received the fried rice and noodles. This made no sense. Where was the shrimp appetizer? And, why not serve the fried rice OR the noodles? The extra charge for the rice was illogical since it was unnecessary. Give diners the choice of one or the other and don't charge extra or allow diners to have both for an extra charge. Anyhow, then a portion of my protein arrived - the garlic shrimp. These were delightful! And not overcooked...kudos!! The rest of the proteins followed around the table. Then, came the shrimp appetizer followed by the overly al dente veggies. Before we were done eating, the server was suggesting ice cream. I sent her away. We weren't ready. When she did return and I did have my scoop of chocolate ice cream, it was a disappointment. First, it had been pre-scooped. It was obvious it had started to melt at some point and was re-frozen because it looked melted, but was hard as a rock. Then, it was in a small ice cream cup that was only about half full. It was the tiniest scoop of ice cream ever. Hardly makes it worth mentioning except for the fact that it's part of the meal and every other hibachi restaurant doesn't leave me with a partial scoop of ice cream as my last impression. We had a coupon which they promptly honored. Was it worth a try - absolutely, yes. Will we go again - probably. Is it my new go-to hibachi restaurant - not yet. It's nearby and in our hometown which is where we prefer to spend our money, but they've got a few details to work out. read more

CAUTION: WILL CAUSE SUSHI COMA *if you overindulge like I did* We were on a mission. A mission for sushi and a lot of it. Of course we sat at the sushi bar and it was kind of nice because we were the only ones in that room, but it was also Sunday at about 4pm. We like that early bird special of course. Early bird special as in we're like old people and eat early and go to bed early. I can't even tell you what we ordered because we ordered so much. Let me try and remember: Crunch Roll, Spicy Roll, Salmon Nigiri, Salmon Roe, Super White Tuna, and my boyfriend got some weird stuff with quail egg on it and about 4 more rolls I'm forgetting. The display was beautiful! We had three VERY full plates of sushi and each one was displayed differently but a lot of effort went into the presentation of every plate. I loved it! There were SO many specialty rolls to choose from, which is probably why we had three plates worth of sushi. They were all delicious and very large and in charge! I just realized this review is pretty short but seriously I'm doing it for you... Stop reading and just go eat already!!! (Also try one of their fruity beverages but save room so you don't have to take home two rolls like I did) read more

Swung by to order some lunch to-go and found out that they had a nice 3 for $11.95 roll lunch special. Ordered a Salmon Roll, Spicy Scallop Roll, and a Tuna & Avocado Roll. Salmon Roll is on Point and they redeemed themselves with the Tuna! Its not the best tuna that I've ever had, but it was good with the avocado. The Spicy Scallop Roll was very good and refreshing, it has a nice crunch with the thin cucumber slices. Pretty good bang for your buck! Probably will try their specialty rolls since I like their basic rolls. read more

Great show and top notch service. The food is a solid b+. It really seems to depend on the chef. The food is always good, but on occasion it's great. read more

If it was possible to award more than 5stars...this would be the place. This places has the best crab dragoons ever. Everything is so fresh and the ambiance is great. Our chef was wonderful. Kudos..the prices are reasonable. If you want smaller portions lunch would be the best option. Dinner is abit more expensive Meals cost about 30$...but its worth it you can share a meal because of the portion sizes. highly recommend this place for a date, as well as big party sizes. You won't be disappointed. read more

Just ate here for the first time. Went for lunch had shrimp hibachi, friend had salmon hibachi. Both very good. We had two sushi rolls, they had a tempura shrimp specialty roll with apple, one of the best pieces of sushi I'd ever eaten. Inexpensive compared to other hibachi places I've been to. read more

Food was good with a great atmosphere. We had waited a little while we booked reservations at 7:30 and the chef didn't begin cooking until around 8:30. We also share a table with another family which wasn't a problem because they were cool but for Covid reasons I would have rather just sat with my family. The food was good with great portion and fair pricing. read more

Wow where do I start with this place. We arrived at about 5:30pm. After walking in we waited 5 minutes for someone to acknowledge us. Then we were seated in the sushi bar. The menu was a little confusing and getting the waitress to help us was like pulling teeth. After we received our Luke warm watered down soup and our salad , we had to wait for about 20 minutes for my wife's sushi dinner. Then after that was gone I then received my salmon hibachi dinner about 15 minutes later. The whole time we were eating there was about twenty people in the entrance waiting to be seated. There is almost no place to sit and wait so they all just stand in a crowd looking at us eat. So the food was good but the service was horrible. So bad I would never return. read more

First impression, not good. Table in front of us was being cleaned by the busboy. Upon cleaning the table he purposely emptied the previous customers beverage on the table, and wiped it up with his wash rag....um? Sanitary?? I think not! We ordered the golden shrimp appetizer (somewhat under cooked) For dinner, I had the filet & scallops ( filet was fatty, some pieces, unchewable) My husband had the lobster & filet ( lobster was over cooked) Overall taste was bland. I know they try to be creative and humorous while preparing our meal, but squirting the customer with a squirt bottle that is a plastic figure urinating is inappropriate! And in my opinion, in poor taste. I think I'll check this one off my list. read more

We like that place a lot, and tend to go once a month. We sit at the hibachi and enjoy a delicious, and fun to watch dinner. We tried the sushis once, and they are ok, but we definitely prefer the hibachi. The place is ideally located on 59, with a lot of parking space. The place itself is pretty clean, but I am not a big fan of all the patrons' pictures on the walls. Overall we recommend this place. read more

Love this place! Very busy on Friday& Saturday nights, grab a Mai Thai at the bar while you wait, bartenders are very friendly. Make reservations for your group& have a hibachi table to yourselves, fun show& they never rush you out. We've had the sushi& hibachi both are great. Nice variety of hibachi dinners& they'll let you create your own combo. For the steak lovers the filet is sublime! Includes soup, salad, noodles, fried or white rice, veggies& ice cream dessert. Bento boxes are great to try a roll& other options off the menu. All& all great for couples, families& group get togethers read more

Weirdest experience in a restaurant I've ever had. I ordered an udon soup and when I got it it was just simply not any good. So I flag down my waitress to exchange my order. This is what happened next: Me: "I'm sorry this just wasn't very good, could I exchange it for the scallops?" Waitress: "No we can't do that because you already ordered." Me: "Yes but it's not any good." Waitress: "We cannot take it back because there's nothing wrong with it and once you've ordered it we are not responsible for it, you are." Me: "No, it doesn't taste any good! It's poorly seasoned and the fish is undercooked!" At this point a manager who was watching nearby stepped in and I assume (they were talking in a different language) told her to take the plate and to give me the other order and she ARGUED with him about it until he took the plate away himself. The food itself isn't that great and they seem the rely heavily on salt as their main spice. The chef was funny and entertaining, the hostess was pleasent, the manager did his job well; I just had a crappy waitress that really ruined what would have been a somewhat decent experience. read more

I can only write this review based on their takeout sushi. I haven't tried anything else off of their menu, and I have not dined in the restaurant. We are loyal customers of TL Four Seasons in downtown Bartlett. We order takeout sushi from them monthly. My only problem with TLs is that their sushi selection is very "vanilla" They don't have any super creative rolls, nor is their sushi menu very big.... It was a Friday night and we wanted to try a different place, but we were really craving sushi, so we gave Tokyo a try. I feel bad saying this, but I think I like the sushi better at Tokyo then TLs... Their variety is awesome and everything is creative and fresh. Their staple rolls are very good. Spicy tuna, spicy scallop, tuna avocado, etc. All very delicious and fresh. They also have funky rolls for the more adventurous type, and all of them were great. Additional perks - if you order online they give you 15% off of your order. TOTALLY AWESOME. Only downfall, they don't deliver... I definitely would've given this place a 5 out of 5 if they delivered, but unfortunately they don't offer that option. I'll definitely be ordering from them again in the very near future! read more

Just got home from another great experience here. This was my third time here, and my first sitting in front of the grill. We were a party of 9, and were able to sit at a single table without being split up. I ordered the sushi deluxe, see pic. Phenomenal. Pieces didn't taste fishy. No soy or ginger needed! Rest of the party got hibachi. Best chef ever at a hibachi house (Evan)!! Very engaging. Everything was delicious! Hope this location continues to do well. I'll be back for sure. read more

Went there the first week they were opened. Service was extremely slow yet they weren't busy. At first I was shocked to see prices higher than I am used to paying for hibachi cooking, but the amount of food you got more than made up for the higher prices. I ordered Golden Shrimp and it was so so good. Would go back again but not out of my way to. read more

We had a great family meal seated at a Hibachi grill. 11 of us, including 3 under 3 years old. The food was great, we were all entertained by our chef. The kids loved watching him perform while preparing our meals. Chef engaged all of us with his tricks and antics. Again, the food was delicious and prepared exactly how we wanted it. If you're looking for a great Japanese meal and be entertained while it's being prepared, TS II is the place for you! read more

Got the groupon -- and yes, its just $30 off the bill and not $30 for two hibachi dinners. They should probably update their wording with Groupon, nonetheless we were not upset by it and even figured that would be the case. Anywho... double date night at Tokyo Steakhouse II and we went in with mixed feelings due to reviews. Did we figure the hibachi presentation would be the same? Yes, its like that EVERYWHERE. Even if you go to the freaking Caribbean, I am not kidding. We were super pumped for the food? Eh, kind of. Were we surprised? Yes. You get a ton of food for the money. Soup, Salad, Rice, Noodles, Veggies, Shrimp Appetizer, your main dish and ice cream. Everything was really good. Plus, our chef asked us if we wanted to try the Spicy Garlic topping. GET THIS. I had it added to my shrimp and it was amazing. Then, every 10 minutes or so he would ask if we wanted Sake shots through a squeeze bottle. I only did it once cause somebody had to drive home. I am pretty sure it was watered down, but I can't complain about free shots. The one setback? They were not the greatest about serving drinks, whether it was booze or just water. They were pretty slow and you had to hunt them down for a refill. It is an expensive night out, so the groupon helped a lot. read more

When we came in we almost left because the customer service was not the best - but within 5 minutes of eating the food - we were so glad we stayed. We had the Mexican Fire Roll and hibachi dinner - the noodles were beyond awesome - so yummy! When packaging up the leftover shrimp I literally said to my fiancée - back off my shrimp! Definitely recommend for a quiet night in the suburbs. read more

Good food good time. Went here with family for my grandmothers birthday. The cook was on point with a lot of jokes for the whole crowd.

Great hibachi place! The entrees are huge, the food is delicious, the service is wonderful! You get noodles AND rice with your entree-- plus free ice cream at the end! Come here prepared to gain another 10 lbs, but totally worth it! read more

Ok.. It's official. I love this place. I've talked about the Hibachi and how addictive the appetizer noodles are (Very.). We've gone a few times for the All you can Eat Sushi. You can choose whatever you want ( while there is a total limit on sashimi, which makes sense) However, you're charged for whatever you don't eat. Is that an issue to me? No. Just order small amounts, and then order more if you're still hungry. It's great because this way they don't have people ordering a ton of food that they won't eat - which is a total waste of food. And, i'm gonna say it: I think this place has better food than T.L.s. Yeah. Our favorite rolls are: Mexico Fire (Fried jalapeno? Hell yeah) Pacific Tuna ( spicy tuna and super white tuna- my favorite) Nobu (order this one a lot) read more

Good food and a lot of it for the price and value. If you sit in the steakhouse hibachi area and get a lively chef, be prepared for anything, including laundry later that evening! Getting saki squirted at us was fun at first, but it got a little too much after a couple of us repeatedly said "no" and the chef kept trying to squirt the bottle at us. My husband's and my daughter's boyfriend's shirts were so wet and smelly we had to wash them when we got home. The filet and shrimp were delicious as were the noodle appetizers. Everything we tried was really tasty. We were "good sports," we really were, but our chef needed to do a better job of reading his guests. "No means no" especially for those who just prefer to eat their meal without getting wet or messy. If I return, I may try the other side or quiet dining room instead because I really do like the food and drinks here, especially the lychee martini. read more

My boyfriend and I went on a Monday at 5 for hibachi grill. There was no wait and got sat right away with another couple. The I had spicy shrimp dinner that was good. My boyfriend had steak dinner. He said his was ok and he was not that big of a fan. I also got a shrimp tempura roll that was really good. They did not provide me with a cup to put soy sauce in, so that was a little hard. The waitress did not provide chopsticks either. The food was really good and there was a lot of food. I will go back to this place again. The only thing that was not that great was the service. The waitress was not all that friendly. She was just there. She seemed like we were more of a bother to her. At the time we were the only hibachi table. Half way through another family came in but they had a different server. The chef was nice and did some entertainment. read more

I have been there so many times, I can't even count on 2 hands. And this is all within the last 6 months. The food is great and the sushi tastes fresh. I go here with some coworkers after our shift and its great because not many sushi places are open till 11 on weekends. And this one is! My only complaint is that although (on Saturdays) they close at 11, they sometimes close up early, about 10:30, and all stand at the front door waiting for you to leave. They sometimes even come up to the table and say you have to go. Politely of course, but to me, if your open till 11, that's when you should go up to people, or 5-10 minutes prior but not 30. I understand though, I worked as a server before too, and people just want to get home. But if 11 is too late for the whole staff, because they all have to wait for one another it seems like, then make closing 10. read more

Sooo disappointed, let me count the ways... 1. Arrived at 6:30PM, seated at 7:20PM, served water at 7:50PM and dinner over at 8:50PM. 2. Groupon stated $16 for two Hibachi entrees ($30 value) restaurant said that meant $30 off the bill. Not cool but didn't argue. 3. The entire meal was cooked in reverse order from Benihana, Japan 77, Kampai or any other Hibachi Steakhouse I've visited. The fried rice was made first, then some greasy noodle dish that was inedible, then the vegetables, then the entrees and finally the Hibachi Shrimp Appetizer which is exactly two medium-ish shrimp per person. 4. The Miso soup was so bland I'm not even sure it contained Miso. It may have just been brown water with some flakes on top, no tofu, no seaweed. 5. The salad was fresh, and crisp however, the dressing tasted like a watered-down spicy ranch and it was one of the better tasting items. 6. The sauce tray had three spots for sauce. They filled two of the spots, one was definitely the watered-down spicy ranch dressing again and the other was a reddish ginger sauce that had the consistency of diluted jam. Where was the hot mustard sauce? 7. The Tuna Tataki was beyond bland and hard, as if it had been sitting out a long time. It was served with soy sauce but no wasabi. Another guest ordered a maki roll and that had wasabi on the side. Why doesn't the tuna come with wasabi? I did not bother to ask since our server seemed to run in and out of the dining room without stopping at our table. 8. The filet mignon I ordered rare was tender and tasted okay but then I had to get home in a hurry. I think they used a lot of meat tenderizer since that is the reaction my body has to meat tenderizer. 9. Hibachi dinners come with ice cream, the chocolate ice cream was so un-chocolate tasting I again wondered did they take ice cream and water it down? I would be surprised if this restaurant is open in a year but if it is they should be selling water. I will not go back. read more

Bartlett Residents!! DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PLACE- Esp if you want to come ALONE I would Give this place 0 Stars if possible - As i wasnt even served. I came in to try and support a new Bartlett place in town. I came in for lunch today at 12 noon to an empty restaurant. Needless to say i asked to be seated at the Habachi Tables. They denied me - saying i wasnt worth the seat as being a single guest. Needless to say ive never in my life been treated this way in a restaurant before- especially a brand new one. Since when is one customer valued different than any other especially when they came in to enjoy and try out this new place. When i even said specifically- "Are you sure you dont want my money" the people at the host station looked at me like it didnt matter to them. BAD CUSTOMER TASTE without ever trying the food. Def will be enjoying other locations for my lunches read more

Heres the deal with these hibachi steakhouses.. Once you have been to one you have been to them all, well at least this is what I thought. I wanted to thank this particular location and staff for providing us with coupons immediately when we entered the restaurant. Of course the chef put on a show and entertained us well. My wife and I both left with a togo box... and we were both sleepy from eating so much!! If Im ever in the area again I would not mind stopping in for another early dinner. read more

This is my first hibachi experience, so I really don't have much to compare to. We really enjoyed it a lot. The meats were very tender and tasty. They use this spiced butter or something as their seasoning for everything, including the noodles and rice. I really hope it's not margarine or anything like that. I'll have to ask. My little 5 year old also really enjoyed it and wants to go for her birthday lol. We went on a Saturday night and had no issues with seating or service. I hear that the prices are very good compared to other hibachi restaurants. read more
