Spicy tuna can be done with chili oil vs spicy mayo if you can't do eggs. Spicy tuna with Chili Oil is better in my opinion. Grilled with salt options for chicken and fish if you can't do soy or wheat like me. Decent selection and rotating specials. If the Toro Taku Maki is on the Specials Menu and in stock try it. It is so good Service is attentive and overall very good. No complaints. If you like Japanese food I highly recommend this place.

Our waiter was helpful in answering all of our questions about the extensive menu. Tako Wasabi: A small bowl about the size of a pointer finger, but packed with lots of small, strong pieces of octopus; chewy, savory, with a sharp and fragrant wasabi kick. Leaned on the salty side, but very unique! Beef Tataki: The yuzu sauce, very sour, pairs well with the raw steak, with a side of fresh seaweed Japanese Spaghetti (full): Al dente, chewy pasta with a tangy flavor and a creamy aftertaste, with a side of parmesan and tabasco to add if you want; shareable between 2-3 people Buta Nira Moyashi: Slightly crisped pork with a good balance of lean and fat, served on a generous bed of chives and crunchy soybeans, comes with chili pepper to add if you want; leans a bit on the salty side Curry: A huge bowl! Celebrated a birthday, they gave our birthday person a small free matcha japanese cheesecake with a candle. :)

Well- let's just say he wasn't too warm or welcoming and could barely grunt a greeting. Hmm. We were quickly seated in a very japanese-looking restaurant (a good sign). We ordered two apps - the chicken karaage and the agedashi tofu. I ordered the spicy tonkatsu pork ramen (not on their web menu, but still...). First demerit- my ramen arrived before the apps did. Seriously. Seriously? Me with a main dish and my hubby/friends bereft of food? Oh wow. I didn't touch it until the apps arrived a couple minutes later - finally their mains arrived. Yay. The apps? Well, the chicken karaage was really fried chicken breast meat (no bones; not a prob for me, but hubby - a japanese man by birth- was not impressed). The agedashi tofu was yummy and quite good. Nice! Ok- my ramen was - yes- spicy and oily, as any good ramen should be. The bad part? I could tell the bean sprouts weren't fresh as my sensitive digestive tract let me know - fast- that the sprouts were "not" fresh. Yikes. Not a good thing - hence the demerit. Ok- first- we may come again. But gosh. the workers really need to be a bit happier to be there- or - if they can't be pleasant - keep them out of the public's eye. That would be a big help- after all, this was our first visit- and it wasn't too welcoming - it would have offset the bad sprouts, you know?

However, my most recent visit came in for dinner and I just had to finally update this post because throughout all of these visits, this place is so amazingly consistent in the food quality in the portions and in the incredible Japanese hospitable service. This is truly authentic legitimate food. And it's great to see the menu over the years really evolved as well as expand. This is a real go to, and I am so glad that they're here and not too far away and this is truly a great Japanese cultural feast and taste for the mouth!

Perfectly cooked and…read moreseasoned rice, fish that's been carefully chosen and prepared, and a menu that reflects tradition but also elevates it beyond the mundane. They've put the same level of attention and care into their selection of sakes. Service was warm and friendly, but never pushy or bothersome. They sent me a free dessert when they overheard my wife mention it was my birthday, it was a complete surprise. They also very thoughtfully asked if I'd like them to sing (I did not). That kind of thoughtful service reflects the comfortable, laid back atmosphere they've maintained, a welcome change over many high end sushi establishments that can be too stuffy. If you love sushi, you owe it to yourself to visit Kaido.

Kaido Sushi came as a top sushi recommendation to me from another Yelp Elite and it did not…read moredisappoint. It's located in a strip mall and the inside isn't overly large. One can sit at a table or the main sushi counter. The night I visited, it was rather slow which allowed staff to thoroughly wait on us. I asked a couple of questions about the menu. Our server explained that the most popular rolls were the Garlic Salmon, Mafia, and Hamachi Truffle. Most premium maki come as 8 rolls with the exception of Pink Flower and Tequila which are served as 6. All rolls are made to order with fresh ingredients. I also loved that they offered three options for veggie rolls as it's still my preference! To start, we ordered both the Lychee-tini and Old Fashioned cocktails. They couldn't have been more different in flavor profiles. The Old Fashioned was spirit forward yet smooth. It had a really nice finishing note that directly came from the Japanese Whiskey used. The Lychee-tini was sweeter and had good flavor. I also loved that there was actually a lychee at the bottom of the glass. For mains, my husband got the Mafia and Hamachi Truffle rolls per the staff's recommendation. He explained that the Mafia rolls were more of a mild heat. He preferred the Hamachi Truffle roll as it had a more unique and depth of flavor. I got the Black Garden roll without the jalapeño. I loved the freshness of the rolls and thoroughly enjoyed the veggies mixed with the sauce it had. We both agreed that all rolls tasted like they were made with premium, high quality ingredients. Once we finished, the chef came out to ask how we liked everything. Kaido's service level was amazing with staff clearing plates, refilling water, checking in on how we were doing, and just making sure we had the best dining experience. The details didn't go unnoticed and makes perfect sense why they have such an amazing Yelp score! Highly recommend visiting Kaido Sushi and looking forward to my next visit!

I was surprised to learn this is a small chain only with a couple locations in Illinois and the rest in California, which just gives it more credibility to me. Just a heads up that this place is pretty small, so you might run into a wait. But, they do have Yelp waitlist, so be sure to take advantage if you're coming by. While the waits can get long, once you're actually seated service is great and prompt. You won't be waiting long for your food, and if you get a counter seat you can see it being prepared which is fun. So far I've had the spicy tan tan ramen and the miso ramen. You get a generous amount of noodles, the meat is super tender, and the broth is the perfect cure for cold weather or a rough hangover. They have a kids meal option too, but they also have small chicken or pork and rice bowls that are perfect for our toddler. We'll definitely come back, I'm very curious how their curry dish is.

For new beginners to hot pot, I believe this place to be a good introduction, but for those who are…read moreexperienced in hot pot this place is abysmal. My party of 3 ordered the wagyu menu. The veggie stand is nice has everything you need as well as the sauce bar. It even has additional appetizers if you'd like. Here's the problem, the meat quality is terrible, barely enough to pass and we got the "Wagyu" menu. The meat you order is anything but Wagyu, with almost NO marbling to see and taste bland at best. The glitz and glimmer of this place lead you to high expectations but fail at the most essential part of a hot pot, the meat. If you got the basic menu, I believe this place to be satisfactory, but anything beyond that is absolutely NOT worth it.

The only things I didn't see on the food line were the great chicken wings they used to have. The ambiance is casual and nobody is rushing you. All questions were answered and explained in detail. Plenty of veggies to make your hot pot. Plenty of great sauces and salad bar options. Our party of three delighted in the $49 per person Wagyu beef, chicken and shrimp and plenty other choices. We had plenty of everything. Meats were so tender and cooked rapidly. We all tried different broths with different levels of heat. One in our party had the 9 spice miso broth at a level 6 and enjoyed it very much. I had the spicy broth and I was happy with it. Another person tried the teriyaki and also the butter broth and were happy with them. We saw a lot of young people here enjoying their food. We came for a late Sunday dinner and there was no wait. I would come more often if I lived in the Chicago area. I do recommend coming here. We enjoyed everything. Loved the robots. Give it a try.
