    Chicken fried rice
    Maggie M.

    Decor was really pretty. They have a bridge outside great for photos. Inside lots of cherry blossom trees and the inside is huge. We sat at the Hibachi table and it can seat up to 20ppl. Chef was entertaining and the table had lots of room for your appetizers and drinks. We ordered the Godzilla roll. Really big and filling. Came with side of wasabi and ginger slices. They do have the both green and red top soy sauce. I didn't know they had green until I saw someone collecting them at the end of the day. Had the hibachi chicken and salmon and my husband had the steak and shrimp. Comes soup and ginger salad. I don't like ginger so I asked for no salad. But the salad looked fresh. The chicken fried rice and the thick noodles were really good. The veggies were a bit salty. The steak was cooked perfectly at medium and the shrimp were pretty big. But the steak and shrimp were really salty. My chicken and salmon were seasoned well, but the chicken was cooked a bit too well/dry. I didn't get the 2 pieces of shrimp and the chef have forgotten and gave them to someone else at our table. Honestly with all the food and being really salted, I didn't bother to ask for those 2 shrimps. Had the white peach sangria was really good. They offer a choice of vanilla ice cream or rainbow sorbet. Sorbet was really good. Great for large group parties with great decor and entertaining chefs. Waiter is really nice and refilled our waters. Lots of food. But the food is probably a hit or miss with salt. Flavors were good though.

    Definitely a great experience. It wasn't too busy on a Tuesday. We opted for the hibachi. I got the steak and shrimp. Definitely a lot of food and it was delicious. The entertainment was great. They add an 18% gratuity on the bill just fyi.

    Filet and scallops.

    Before you even walk into the building, there is a beautiful bridge and giant teapot fountain outside. Once you walk in, an open space full of reds lanterns and pink sakura trees present a stunning visual treat to digest, definitely Instagram/TikTok worthy. Service is incredibly fast and friendly. Hibachi seating is communal. If you're a group of 2, you will get seated with other parties, an excellent way to make new friends. Unfortunately for us, when we sat down, after a 15 minute wait, no additional parties joined us. So it was just our duo, which in hindsight, was a private chef experience! In terms of food, you get huge portions for the price point. There is soup and salad as an appetizer and a sweet finish with a scoop of ice cream at the end of your meal. Dinner and a show. You get your choice of protein. Vegetables. 2 options of carbs, a fried rice/ or plain white rice AND noodles. So here I am raving about the service, the ambiance, and the portions. So why 3 stars instead of 5. It comes down to the actual taste of the food. It tastes good. You get a lot for the price. The issue is that everything kind of tastes the same? Monotonous. The fried rice, vegetables, noodles, and protein.... They're all cooked in the same homemade garlic butter. There's a dash of salt & pepper here, a splash of secret house sauce there, and a spritz of cola to dazzle. The overall flavor profile of everything was sweet and paired with the only condiment offered is the yum yum sauce and it too, is tasty, but fell flat after a few bites. In terms of taste, it's missing the remaining 4 out of the 5 basic fundamentals of taste( salty, sour, bitter, & umami). Like for example, yes. I probably could add some salt to the food on my own, but that was not provided on the table. I could have asked. Yes. But again. Shouldn't s dish be properly salted? Or is it salt to taste? For sour components, I ordered scallops, it could use a dash of lemon to brighten the dish. For bitter, not necessarily looking for bitter flavor, but a clove of garlic would have really elevated the vegetables. And lastly umami, a savory component that could have deepen the flavor profile of everything. Overall, definitely worth a try. A great visual experience. An opportunity to sit at the chef's table. And to learn how the food is prepped, cooked, and presented to the consumer.

    While visiting my wife's sister and her family in Naperville, Illinois, six of us dined at Wu's House, a Japanese restaurant, on May 25, 2026. This restaurant serves Zabiha/Halal meat. The restaurant has gained considerable popularity for its impressive architecture, hibachi experience, sushi offerings, and upscale ambiance. The grand entrance, complete with a bridge and koi pond, creates an inviting first impression. Inside, the décor is equally impressive, featuring cherry blossom trees, lanterns, and elegant Asian-inspired design elements. The spacious dining areas and hibachi seating add to the restaurant's appeal. The extensive menu includes Japanese, Chinese, and other Asian dishes. We chose several Chinese-style dishes and ordered them family-style for sharing. Due to dietary restrictions, we requested that the sweet sauces be served separately, and our waitress graciously accommodated the request. Although we did not try the hibachi or sushi, many other diners appeared to be enjoying those popular options. The service was excellent throughout our visit. Our waitress, Lucy, was especially courteous, attentive, and welcoming, contributing greatly to the overall dining experience. One point worth noting is the automatic service charge/gratuity. However, unlike some establishments where such charges come as a surprise, Wu's House clearly discloses this policy on its menu. The food is best described as Americanized Asian cuisine rather than highly authentic regional Chinese or Japanese fare. In my view, the prices were reasonable, portions were generous, and the overall value was good. Since this was my first and only visit, I cannot comment on the consistency of food quality over time, but our experience was enjoyable and positive.

    My family and I usually visit the Orland Park location, but we checked out the Naperville spot and it's huge! The lobby is incredibly spacious, perfect for accommodating large crowds without feeling cramped. We've dined here on separate occasions for both hibachi and regular dining, and we've enjoyed both experiences. Some of our family favorites include the orange chicken, pineapple chicken, sesame chicken, sushi, and of course, the hibachi. The mango smoothie is always a hit whenever we get it. The hibachi area is roomy and has a fun, lively atmosphere, making it a great choice for both casual dinners and celebrations. The dinner is definitely worth the price with all the sides and appetizers included. We're big fans of Wu's House and love that this location brings the same great quality and experience.

    Shrimp and Chicken Hibachi
    Anita P.

    Was super excited to see a new hibachi restaurant in Naperville! I think this spot is great for birthdays (they will definitely sing to you multiple times just an fyi lol). The hibachi portions were huge and I really enjoyed the yakisoba, which I typically do not expect with hibachi places. It's worth the extra $$ for shrimp as well.

    Fried Rice
    Adaora O.

    I had a good experience at Wu's House! It's gained some traction since opening and I see why! The interior is beautiful, such a vast different from a lot of the restaurants in Naperville. It's cultural, vibrant, and inviting. The staff are all so kind and genuinely seem happy to serve their guests. The service was good as well. That being said, the quality of ingredients is what made me give 3 stars. The food is just okay, but nothing that I would go talk about or be itching to return for.

    Huge hibachi area
    Bertha C.

    It was our first time at Wu's House and it definitely won't be our last! We loved it! This is honestly probably the prettiest restaurant I've ever been to! From the exterior to the interior everything was beautifully decorated. We made it just before their lunch hour ended. I ordered the chicken hibachi and my Husband ordered the steak hibachi. I had a melon flavored alcoholic drink (I forgot the name) and it was sweet but tasty! My Husband had a beer and an old fashioned which he said were also good! Our food was cooked to order and tasted great. Our Chef was very nice and kept us entertained. They even brought out a birthday hat for me, sang to me and also gave me a complimentary dessert. We ordered some chicken fried rice to go (for the kids lol) and their portion sizes were great! Overall I give this place a 10/10. Great food, ambiance and service! Could be that our entire experience was superb because we went on a Monday during lunch and there weren't many people there but I'm happy that we did!

    Hey Yelp Family! I just found another gem you've got to check out Wu House in Naperville. The view was stunning, and the vibe made me feel like I was dining in another country warm, beautiful, and inviting. Our server, Lucy, was amazing friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. I was even impressed with the service desk greeting, The food? Absolutely next level. Generous portions and incredible flavor. This I highly recommend you try out.

    Lobster Hibachi
    Deanna W.

    We walked in thinking this would be your typical hibachi experience, but we were in for a ride! This place is more like a music festival held in a warehouse with grills LOL The food and service were great. Food is a bit on the pricey side but the portions were MASSIVE! We had the steak, lobster, shrimp, and chicken and it was all very good. I'm only deducting a star because it was so absurdly loud inside. It was definitely a great spot for a party/birthday/celebration, but would probably skip if you are looking for a romantic or quiet evening.

    We've been here three times. I definitely recommend this place however on our anniversary we had a gentleman named, Petra cooking the hibachi. I think he really needs to go back and master the art of how to properly cook and serve the lobster; for this reason only I gave four stars otherwise I would've given five. Mine was definitely chewy did not enjoy it however, the last time I had it, I had a wonderful chef who did a great job. Lots of fun for the family overall great food.

    Mojito with a side of simple syrup
    Shinette M.

    My man and I sat at the bar for a drink while waiting for my cousin. We ordered one mojito. It cost $19.01. We were charged tax and 18% gratuity. It wasn't posted anywhere about automatic gratuity. We made it to our table and were rushed to order because other guest were already at the table...and the chef was about to come. I immediately expressed my distain for being rushed. Our host...Rafly immediately took accountability and apologized and did his best to make the remainder of our experience pleasant! The food was pretty good..a little salty, however; the experience ended up being great thanks to our host! The environment was very clean and entertaining.

    Went there for the very first time. It's a small chain and Naperville is their newest location. There located right next to Walmart and Xsport fitness and share the parking lot with them. Plenty of parking, no issues there. Interior of the building is beautiful and excellent ambiance setting. They have the hibachi area separate from the sushi sitting area. Nice and organized. I felt like food quality for the price you pay is not justified. It was oily and tasted subpar. Both me and my friend felt sick after the food. They are significantly pricey compared to the similar or better Japanese restaurants. The thing the annoyed me the most was a mandatory 18% service charge for and one using their sit down service, regardless of the party size (picture attached). I always tip over 20% but seeing this that they are forcing people with a 18% service was very disappointing. On a positive note their customer service was excellent. Based on the lack of food quality and mandatory service fee I will not recommend this place. There are several better options locally that you should try before going here. Overall I felt very disappointed.

    Bday party @Wu Hibachi!

We were seated promptly and our service was great. We tried so much delicious food. Crispy brussel sprouts, spicy garlic edamame, miso soup and a ton of the vegan rolls.

We sat 25 minutes before we got water, and that was after we had gotten an appetizer of edamame. We waited 40 minutes for our other appetizer and our actual dinner came out around the 55 minute mark. We had asked timing on the food, and our server was very dismissive. They did make a comment saying that they weren't expected to get this busy, but the restaurant was about 60% to 70% capacity at max. After our appetizer came out and we scarfed it down, they made a very strange remark, saying, "Sorry, I didn't know you were that hungry." Of course we're hungry - we came out to eat at a restaurant. (It wasn't a joking manner that they said it.) Overall, the vibe that we got from the server was so strange and uncanny, it took forever to get our food, and we left disappointed. The restaurant looks really cool and the food was good, so it was disappointing.

The chefs signature rolls are so innovative, I've never had any rolls like them anywhere else! The flavors were surprising and delicious! With flavors like a truffle vinaigrette, garlic sauce and strawberry and mango featured in maki we were blown away with flavor! It was all so good. And it was beautifully plated. Also unique, Chef Soon has nigiri that also features unique flavor combinations an we had several that were so so tasty. I want to go back and try more!

If you're a cheesecake fan, it's a pretty sad way to end the meal. Thankfully my last sushi bite was the Zuke salmon, which is always excellent. We spent around $350, which normally isn't an issue because we've had great experiences here in the past. But this visit was frustrating. My sister-in-law has a serious allergy to seeds and peanuts, and we were crystal clear about needing no sesame. In the past, the staff has been extremely careful and accommodating. This time, two rolls came out with sesame. We were willing to let those slide and said it was fine. But then they brought out a third roll with sesame--and that's when we got agitated. At that point, it really ruined the shared meal we were hoping for. What was safe tasted great, but the repeated mistakes took the enjoyment out of the experience. We weren't in any rush, but it definitely felt like the kitchen was winding down for the night. Chef Soon also wasn't there, which was disappointing because it genuinely felt like the attention to detail wasn't the same without him. And not to sound cheap, but after that many allergy-related mistakes, there should have been some sort of acknowledgment of an apology, actions speak louder than words. In my opinion a small discount, a complimentary dessert or app, something should have been offered. Instead, nothing. Chef soon is my favorite sushi restaurant. I often tell anyone in Illinois it's the best I've been to here. Normally this is a solid five-star spot for us, but tonight was a three out of five at best. Mistakes happen, and I'll be back... but this visit was honestly pretty upsetting. I think I may be on a search for a new favorite sushi place for my sister.

    BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY…read more Mesón Sabika is a truly beloved restaurant with whom I have a complicated history. ______________________ ***REVIEW #1,300*** ______________________ As hundredth milestone reviews go, this one is deeply personal -- I was supposed to have my wedding & reception here in March 2020.  That never happened due to things far beyond my control (damn pandemic) and I've been not-so-secretly pining for that moment ever since. I wound up tying the knot with the love of my life at a nearby park but without any of the fanfare, guests, food, liquor, live band, florist, or photographer.  We had already placed a sizeable deposit on a food & bev package, so when Mesón management abruptly raised the prices on us by 20% due to "volatile market pricing", we accepted a buyout in the form of gift certificates. Between dine-in and carryout orders, over the next 18 months we ate here a LOT.....I'll admit it was fun treating family & friends to dinner with reckless abandon.  Each experience was great, from the service and ambiance to the small plates and sangria.  We did get pretty ill following one visit, although I suspect it came from another guest in the vicinity, rather than a bout of food poisoning. The picturesque mansion - built in 1847 - is elegant but cramped inside, so I recommend dining on the gorgeous patio if weather permits.  Prices for tapas are the same regardless of lunch or dinner, although they do have entree specials unique to both meals (and their delicious paella is exclusive to dinnertime). Without going into crazy detail about each cold dish (of which there are 15) or hot tapas (of which there are 23), I'll call out a few highlights: the bacon-wrapped dates ($14), the duck confit ($16), the cold garlic potato salad ($15), goat cheese w/poached pear ($15), cured salmon in dill cream cheese ($14) and grilled skirt steak ($19). Their paella is great and feeds 3-4 people; I recommend the 'campesina' ($25 with chicken & chorizo) unless you're big on seafood, in which case the 'mariscos' ($42 with shrimp, mussels, clams, scallops, and octopus) might be up your alley.  Desserts are splendid, especially the crème brûlée ($12) and the pear tart ($12). The servers are all male (it's a Catalan thing) and very attentive.  Order a pitcher of white or red house sangria and let all your troubles melt away until you're set adrift on memory bliss.  Or until they kick you out. * TL;DR * Just like the 'tarta de chocolate' on their dessert menu, Mesón stirs up feelings in me that are poignantly bittersweet. On one hand, I've been here 10 times and have nothing but praise for the kitchen + atmosphere.  On the other hand, whenever I see the staff prepping the adjacent event space for a wedding, I get wistful and cry a teeny bit inside.  Couldn't the COVID outbreak have waited one more month, until after my nuptials? The restaurant biz is tough with plenty of overhead, but Mesón is still chugging along and serving the same excellent tapas since 1990.  Anyone who's ever dined here can attest it's a gorgeous venue with spectacular food and professional service. I highly recommend Mesón Sabika for lunch or dinner, and if you're considering having a wedding here, do it.  Hopefully you'll have better luck than me.

    Let me start with the setting because it genuinely earns its reputation. The grounds are stunning…read moreand you can immediately understand why people book weddings here. It's a beautifully converted old mansion with manicured outdoor spaces and an elegant interior. The white tablecloth atmosphere delivers on the promise of a special night out. That said, if you're coming expecting a transportive Spanish dining experience, temper those expectations. A few decorative plates on the walls aside, the space reads more traditional Southern manor than Iberian escape. Charming, yes. Spanish, not really. Now the food, because that's where things get interesting. The cream of rice soup was a genuine highlight. Buttery, brothy, deeply comforting. The kind of dish that makes you lean in after the first spoonful. The baguette served alongside it though? Stale. Sliced too far in advance and the butter arrived ice cold, straight from the fridge. At $100 plus per person, that is a detail that matters. The Queso con Pacanas had beautiful individual components but suffered from what became a recurring theme of the night: strong flavors competing rather than collaborating. The pungent cheese steamrolled everything else on the plate. The wine soaked pears showed up again later on the Chuleta de Cerdo, and while the idea is lovely, serving a pear half unsliced in a fine dining context means you're asking the guest to do compositional work that the kitchen should have already done. The Jamón Iberico is the most expensive item on the menu and the meat itself is worth every penny. Nutty, buttery, exceptional on its own. But the parmesan blanketing the flatbread crisps overpowered it completely, and a lone raw garlic clove sitting on the plate with no instruction is not fine dining. Our server was sweet enough to explain you're meant to rub it on the cracker yourself, and she handled it with grace, but that explanation should not have been necessary. The Patatas Bravas were well seasoned with a solid aioli but landed mushy rather than crispy. A miss. The Gambas a la Plancha was the clearest win of the evening and not by coincidence. It was the simplest dish. Well seasoned shrimp, bright lemon butter, nothing fighting for attention. Sometimes restraint is the whole answer. The Chuleta de Cerdo had a beautifully cooked, smoky and peppery pork chop and a mushroom sauce that genuinely complemented it. But then the cinnamon heavy root vegetable puree pulled the whole plate in a completely different direction. Our server was genuinely wonderful, funny and warm and attentive even while training a new hire. She was the clearest bright spot of the service experience and the one thing we left talking about fondly. We left the rest of the meal a little baffled. The head chef hails from Valencia, and we were told that influence shows in the food. Maybe it does and our palates just weren't reading it. But between the confused flavor profiles, the inconsistent execution, and a cuisine identity that felt more scattered than intentional, we walked out laughing and scratching our heads more than satisfied. Beautiful place. Lovely server. The food just never quite found itself.

    We went at 3:30pm and got seated right away, especially because of reservations. There are plenty…read moreof seats and the service is quite efficient. We ordered the Gyu-Kaku Feast (for 6 pax). It was plenty of food, topped off with smores for dessert. The meat was fresh. Lots of meat, good beef, some pork, and a few shrimp. The salads were good... might be better if we'd asked for the salad dressing on the side. The sukiyaki was surprising in that it was more like fried rice. Spicy chiggae soup was yummy, nice and spicy. So much food. Super yummy. Park in the structure around the corner on Chicago Ave.

    Came here in a Monday for lunch. We had a reservation for 230. We arrive at 215 and there is no one…read moreat the host station. Ahead of us is a couple and another guy waiting. After 10 minutes the host comes and tells the couple they have tables but they aren't cleaned yet and he's waiting. Mind you the restaurant isn't packed, but there are a few tables dining. I'm guessing they were understaffed. Anyhow, after another 10 minutes the guy ahead of us gets seated. Nothing was said to us. Another party of two came and they were also waiting and they flagged someone down. The host said the same thing as earlier, they have tables that haven't been cleaned. 10 mins later he goes to try to seat them knowing we were there first. The lady even told him, well they were here first. He went ahead and seated them anyway then came back and got us. It's 245. I told him we had a reservation for 230. The lack of communication from the host was off putting. We were hungry and my son really wanted bbq. I would have gone to SGD, but they are closed on Mondays. Anyhow, we wait around a good 10 mins before a server comes to take a drink order. Again, they weren't completely packed, I counted 3 servers and a host. We order ribeye, chicken, filet, kalbi and the hirami in a pot for our meats. We also got corn, spinach, a salad and the fried rice and an order of white rice. I ask him if that's enough food and he says yes, but you can keep a menu in case you want more. Our table was 2 adults and 2 kids who are 11 and 9. Fried rice comes out first and the meats. I ask him to bring the white rice too for my son. He said he forgot and will grab it right away. Let's just say he brought the white rice a good 15 mins after...and I had to remind him. So my son is sitting there eating his meat with no rice. The hirami in the pot was a good size but there were 5 pieces of ribeye and 5 pieces of filet and 5 pieces of chicken and maybe 8 pieces of the kalbi. How is this enough for 4 people? So we order another 2 orders of kalbi. I don't know the happy hour portions are tiny. We also needed refills and that took a couple reminders. We also ordered another order of rice. We are pretty much done eating when I ask him what happened to our rice order? He said he will check and that he ordered it awhile ago. He comes back within 2 minutes with our rice saying there was a mix up in the kitchen? Was it really a mix up or did you just forget? By the time we get our check it's 445. Why did this take so long? We have been there before and we are usually in and out in an hour and a half. So they took the fried rice off our bill. Then for tip, it's asking if we want to tip 18, 22 or 22%? Are you being serious? This guy had to constantly be reminded of everything, service was so slow and he had only two other tables. Someone else was picking up our dirty plates and bringing us the meats. I've never had a bad experience here until now. The visit wasn't worth the $180. Food was good except the filet. That had no flavor at all and had to be drenched with the sauces on the table. We have gotten delivery from here before and the portions were bigger during delivery. One other thing to note, the server never even changed out our grill...they usually do that half way through.
