I also got the Jiro-style ramen, and the broth was delicious with so much flavor. The pork was soft and tender, and the noodles were great too. I liked that they put the sides in a separate container so you can put everything together yourself. I also tried the small aburi bowl, which was delicious and had such good flavors, especially with the pork. The chashu bun was just as good! No complaints at all. Everything was flavorful and delicious, and I definitely have to come back and dine in next time!

Kitakata Ramen was so good that I ended up eating there four more times during my one-week stay…read more That's probably the highest compliment I can give any restaurant. The standout for me was their Jiro-style ramen. It was every bit as good as some of the bowls I've had in Osaka--rich, satisfying, and packed with flavor. As someone who has spent plenty of time eating ramen in Japan, that's not praise I hand out lightly. What impressed me most was the consistency. Every dish I tried was on point, and every visit left me looking forward to the next one. Whether you're a ramen enthusiast or just looking for a great meal, Kitakata delivers. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

My husband and I stopped in for dinner and we were in and out within an hour. Staff members were on top of their game. Within 5 minutes of us ordering, the rolls were on their way to our table. We ordered 4 rolls - Picasso, karma, dynamite, and Medusa. My favorite was the Picasso. It was light, refreshing and very tasty. I would order this again next time. I really enjoyed my time here and am looking forward to coming back soon to try many more rolls.

Wow, Kizuna Sushi fires on all cylinders and serves some delicious sushi!…read more Despite driving past MANY times we finally decided to stop in - normally we frequent Sushi Ukai in downtown Glen Ellyn due to proximity. We were delighted by an enthusiastic greeting from the host and the rapidity at which our server arrived at our table. We took a bit to surveyed the menu but ultimately made our selections. The highlight: the appropriately priced Miso Soup! (usually places gouge you on it) Oh, and, of course, the sushi - DELICIOUS and FRESH! We had a decent selection of rolls and each were phenomenal! Same goes for the service: our waiter was everything one would hope for! We left knowing we'd found our new sushi home' Can't wait to return!

The broccoli had some black spots, which did not seem to be as fresh. However, I was able to switch my order without a problem. Server was super understanding and I ordered the chicken karaage.

The overall ambiance was pretty clean!

I found my new AYCE sushi spot and I couldn't be happier! Sushi Nova is in a plaza that has some…read moreother spots that I like which makes this a convenient location. It's not a large restaurant, but the service and quality are spot on. The variety of sushi from nigiri, sashimi, rolls, signature rolls, and even chef specials is refreshing to see. I loved the assortment to choose from, and the ratio of rice to fish was nicely balanced. There are appetizers and ice cream to choose from which make dining here a pleasure for a variety of palates. Service was friendly and checked in regularly ensuring we had drinks topped off and any new orders put in. My party enjoyed the presentation of sushi placed on a boat, the good service, and decor. This is a place to come back to for sure.

Time and time again, Sushi Nova continues to be a consistently FANTASTIC and delicious AYCE sushi…read morespot. Anytime I've been in town and have a sushi craving, this is my go-to and has been for the past 5 years. Staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, the menu has a wide variety of options - including appetizers, traditional rolls, specialty rolls, and so on - and the food is always fresh, made-to-order, and leaves my tastebuds doing backflips! This time around, we ordered our usual appetizers - crab rangoons, shrimp shumai, chicken karaage, & miso soup - as well as a handful of rolls including the color dragon roll, regular dragon roll, fire dragon roll, yelllow tail roll, the sweet 16 roll, and an assortment of nigiri and sashimi. We ordered enough sushi to have it served on a boat (which is always such an exciting feeling!!). As usual, everything was fresh and tasty! The highlights of our sushi boat were definitely the fire dragon roll and the color dragon roll; DYNAMITE flavor! With all that being said, I highly recommend Sushi Nova to all folks that are willing to make the drive out to Westmont and are open to having a delicious experience with loved ones!

Having just returned from the trip to Japan, I was having a taste for Japanese food. I happened to…read morebe in a suburb far from where I live and had some time to kill so my mother-in-law and I headed over to Tsuki Sushi and Grill. We got really lucky with this amazing stand alone restaurant in Lombard. We walked into this cute, unassuming restaurant at around 1:30 for lunch. Interior is really simple and cute and they have options of all you can eat for $33 which is a great deal or à la carte. We chose à la carte as we weren't super hungry. We were so pleasantly surprised at the quality and amount of food that we were served. Everything was super fresh and delicious and there was so much food that we wound up taking some of it home. Presentation was also excellent. We started with the Tsuki sashimi appetizer and the seaweed salad and ended with the maki combination sushi platter. There were so many rolls on the plate and it probably could've served three people. The service that was great and the price was really reasonable. This is such a great find and a place that you really need to check out if you live in the area. We felt so lucky to have stumbled upon it!

My fried Shrimp Tempura was definitely old. Had to spit it out into a napkin. Conversely, my Super Philadelphia roll was huge and perfect. Salmon seemed fresh. Also my seaweed salad was perfect. Service was excellent. Chef tried to re-make scallop to my order, but I did not like it. Waitress took it back and they did not charge me. Ambience was ...tired. Menus were beat up. Place was nearly empty at 1pm. Friend and I met for lunch - our first time there, easy to find. But, sadly, we will not go back to Sakura Sushi. 2 stars, not 1, because of excellent service.
