We were the 2nd to last table to get our order in with the opening rush. However, the annoying Naperville pre-teens next to us got theirs first. Their parents were seated at the bar due to lack of space and both parties kept getting up and down. The quality of the sushi saved their score. The sushi was amazing. The specialty rolls were fun and flavorful. My recommendation would be get there right when they open, or come back around 2 pm when the first group of diners is complete.

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.

Spicy chiggae soup was yummy, nice and spicy. So much food. Super yummy. Park in the structure around the corner on Chicago Ave.

This was our first visit to Shabu-Yo. Knowing nothing of Japanese Hot Pot cuisine, I wonder if I…read moreshouldn't have added a star, just for good measure! We had a lovely time! The only "problem" we had - and it was OURS - was that we were utterly unfamiliar with the cuisine, or any 'best practices' related to cooking and eating our own Japanese meal. In the end (and we may be wrong!), we discovered that the best way to approach the meal was to create bowls of soup with ingredients that looked yummy, and to proceed from there. The issue with that, was that the flavor of the wagu seemed to be lost in the soup broth... so it seemed immaterial to me if the meat was wagu or some other thicker tasty meat. The crab portions were fresh and immense! I don't usually care for crab or lobster- too much heat loss between kitchen and table, and by the time I've released the MEAT, it's cold. I detest cold food - an abusive childhood. My bride gave me a few bites, dipped in the broth to warm it up. Yummy. We arrived at 6:45 or so on Mother's Day, with reservations. (Thanks!) We were immediately seated. It looked as if Shabu Yo had had a brisk afternoon - many as-yet-unbussed tables - which posed no issues at all - they were still sitting people lickety-split! Our waiter ("Putki"? sp) was very attentive and kind, and really cared about the quality of our experience. In fact, ALL of the staff seemed to evince the same care and attention, no matter how hard a day they may have had. And that brings up a point of realization: my wife and I are die-hard "Foodies". But the most memorable meals we've had have been at restaurants that exhibit care and pride at doing their ENTIRE JOB well - not just food quality, but ambience and the "experience" of dining there. Shabu You definitely met that measure! Heck, I'm gonna add that star! :) My Bride and I agreed that we'd definitely come back to explore further, after some personal research on the cuisine. I'm looking forward to it!

Absolutely terrible service. Came in for a family Valentine's Day dinner. We had an early…read morereservation (4:30p) for our family of 4 (two school age children). We were barely greeted when walking in and making immediate eye contact with the host but yet nothing was said - no "hello," no "welcome in", no nothing. After an awkward 10-15 seconds of standing there face to face, all that was said was "how many?" in the most irritated and unwelcoming of acknowledgements from the host. Dinner was decent and food and side options were good, although service was lackluster. Nothing really wowed me but I also don't really have complaints of the meal itself. We were sitting and eating for about 45 minutes when my husband asked for the check. We are "early payers," making sure to square away the bill if most of us are finished. We do this as a courtesy to staff so that the minute the last of our family is finished, we don't need to wait for the server to get our bill and wait to pay, we quickly leave so they can turn over the table (my family has owned a restaurant so I understand this need). My one child was not entirely done although 3 of us were. We are still under an hour of being at the table when the host comes over to do a general clean up then says, "now if you can please take the conversation outside, it's busy." Normally I would respect this method as turnover is importance, however, we had been at the table for LESS THAN an hour - not obnoxiously exceeding their 90-minute rule. My husband looked at him and said, "that's really rude, we've barely been here an hour." To which the host responds, "Yea, but don't you see it's busy? I have tables waiting" while pointing to the host stand. My husband and I are shocked at the comment so we end up seeing the owner helping tables and my husband tells him, "We understand the need to free up tables but his delivery was extremely unprofessional. There could have been a better way to have said that, we've only been here for 50 minutes." The owner was shocked himself that his host said that considering we were not there all that long. But the host came back hovering and telling him, "but they paid so I assume they should have left knowing there's tables waiting and they've already paid the bill." Again - shocked at the delivery. The owner was very apologetic but he should consider a better front of the house host/manager. It completely turned us away from ever coming back, it has been over 2 weeks and we still talk about how rude service was. All of that disrespect when here we were trying to make turnover quicker for them by paying right away. We were willing to give them another chance to enjoy a second meal there but not anymore.

This is the perfect place to dress casual or even dress up, but I was in the mood to just chill and have some excellent sushi. A friend and I shared 4 rolls - mango tango, tuna lover, Ogden avenue roll, and the great Naperville roll. Everything was delicious and fresh.

On top of the food, the staff was beyond friendly and sweet. Everyone was welcoming and attentive without being overbearing, which made the experience even better.

The menu for the Thai food looked pretty similar to most Thai places with the exception of the sushi. I had to get my regular pad see ew. The flavor was good with not too much heat. It was just enough. Not much I would want to change. Maybe I would ask for a little more heat. I also tried a little of my friends pad Thai with beef. The beef was a little tough, but overall not bad. I liked that the dish was not dry at all. From the Thai dishes, I would say that the food is pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but would come back if I was in the area. Some of the sushi rolls seemed to be a bit pricy in my opinion, but maybe I'll try one next time just to try it.

Their sushi though? Oh my god, their sushi honestly tastes so incredibly fresh I was shook- the fish is just so buttery and melts in your mouth!

The bread-to-meat ratio was perfect, and the sauce was delicious. We also ordered the lollipop shrimp, which was very good. The sweet and sour sauce that comes with it was even better than the teriyaki sauce. For our main dishes, we got the chicken stir-fry ramen and the Niku Soba ramen. Both were 10/10.
