Go Green Roll
Steve A.

Good priced sushi often doesn't taste good but it does here. It has some pretty big ass rolls and you definitely get a lot. Ni Hao is one of a few places in Elmhurst to get sushi. Maybe they're not as good as before but they're still good. There's a few good choices for vegans and vegetarians. Came in recently and we got lunch. I knew we were getting sushi, but not sure what exactly so we looked the menu over. The one I picked was the Go Green Roll. It's $11 and humongous. This has avocados, cucumbers, fresh greens, inari, kampyo oshinko, shiitake inside, sweet soy, and tempura crunch on top. Has a few other items besides sushi, so you can still come if you don't want any. It includes sides like miso soup but there's fish broth in it. They still have many vegan friendly items including a few rolls.

Fantastic staff and prices. I was craving dumplings and got their 4-piece potstickers for $6.75 and was very happy with the purchase. I also got their lunch special, which includes a select entree, a side of rice (steamed/fried), an appetizer (egg roll/crab rangoon), and soup. I got their Mongolian beef which was super tender and flavorful. We also got their General Tso's chicken which was a 4.5/5. The best part is that the lunch special is only $10! It fed us for 2 meals. The staff is super friendly and personable. I have a severe nut allergy and the staff made sure everything was safe.

You wouldn't expect the mango salmon roll to be so good, but it's fucking delicious

Godzilla roll

I was craving some Asian food but was far from my usual go-to. I gave this place a try and they had quite a lot of variety. Unfortunately, that was too good to be true. As this was my second meal of the day, I was ready to chow down, so I ordered a bit of everything. The food took quite some time, but that is to be expected for such a big order. This meal was also to go. The owner was cleaning up the sushi area when I had asked if he could make one of my dishes spicy to which he answered "of course my friend we can make it as spicy as you want". I ordered 3 bao: chicken, red bean, and seemed. They were great! Nice and warm, soft and chewy with just the right amount of filling. The godzilla roll had absolutely no flavor at all. There was no nuance of any texture. The rice was mushy, the "sauce" they put on was flavorless and had no depth. Just tasted like watery mayo and soy sauce. The lettuce wrap came with a generous portion of chicken that was seasoned..with enough salt to make the dead sea jealous. I literally could not finish it. It tasted like a mix of chicken thigh and breast but the flavor was off. You get 5 lettuce wraps but with the flavor being off the portion defeats the purpose. Finally the "spicy hunan chicken" was everything but spicy. It was a generic mix of chicken, broccoli, , and bell peppers. The sauce was a bit bland, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and msg for taste. The rice helped sop up the excess liquid. I paid $50.59 and I feel a bit disappointed. The bao was good, the staff was friendly, and the location was clean. Bonus points for not forgetting plasticware but the overall flavor of the food did not satisfy my appetite. I did call the owner to let him know about the bland chicken to which he took down my name said would "watch out for me next time to make it right". Stay tuned for part 2.

Red Dragon and Avocado Roll

I've only gotten take out and each time it's been perfect. Good is fresh and flavorful! Loved the variety of sushi roles. I recently tried the Bao buns (wish they had a bit more meat) otherwise really good. Love the Crab Rangoon -- yum!

Menu aug 2018

I've been legit waiting for this place to open for almost a year. Standing in front of Elmhurst Metra station, I've stared at the "Coming in Spring 2018" every morning and speculated what exactly was coming to this Asian restaurant-deprived suburb. It finally opened and I tried it as soon as I could. The semi-bad news is that the menu is mainly your typical Chinese take-out stuff. The good news is that the food they serve is prepared really well. They also dabble into food items that aren't as common around here parts (steam buns, good quality dumplings that are worth getting and bubble tea). I ordered the lunch Hunan beef, which had your typical brown sauce, only with a lot less salt and prepared with a decent quality of beef. The rice was also cooked really nicely. But the thing that I liked the most was the veggie spring roll which was huge, perfectly fried and so very tasty. I wish I ordered more of those rather than their hot and sour soup that had good amount of ingredients but it was not remotely sour. One thing that was a bit confusing to me was that the restaurant is somewhere between a sit down restaurant and a takeout restaurant. I got my soup in a to-go container but the meal came on a real plate yet was served with plastic ware. The condiments were all in packages and as of right now, they had canned drinks if you dine in. And because the atmosphere doesn't really invite you to sit and stay, I decided against the sushi for now as I like to watch someone prepare my sushi versus having it appear in a box to take home. I did try their Jasmine milk tea and it was good for Elmhurst. And because I'm always searching for good Chinese takeout with great service, I know I'll be back here. I just hope their quality doesn't slip.

Great new Asian Cafe in Elmhurst. Bright & airy interior. Super friendly owner. I had their hot & sour soup. Very good, & I love hot & sour soup. Crab Rangoon quite good with lots of filling. We ordered one of their Chef's Specials, Chef Treasure; Beef, shrimp BBQ pork & chicken in a very tasty brown garlic sauce. A lot of brown garlic sauces are usually heavy & gravy-like. Not this one, it's light and super flavorful. I'm sure I'll be back to try more. P.S. they were having problems with their phone today. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon. We just drove over because I knew they were open. They were very quick getting our order ready.

As a pregnant mom with a serious sushi craving, I was so happy with my experience at Sushi Time!…read moreThe woman who helped us was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, taking the time to recommend rolls that would satisfy my craving while still being safe during pregnancy. My husband and I had been here once before and loved it, so we decided to come back--and we're so glad we did! The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The lunch specials are an amazing value, and the rolls have been perfect every time we've visited. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend Sushi Time in Elmhurst and will definitely be back again!

Unfortunately, they recently removed the option to add special instructions on DoorDash and other ordering platforms. Now the message says: "The store has chosen not to accept special requests. Contact them directly with questions about their menus." This has made ordering much less convenient and has been really disappointing for us as regular customers. Small accommodations can make a big difference for people with dietary needs, so losing that flexibility has definitely changed our experience. Can you please allow special instructions so I can update my review?

It's the same marinated eel piece wrapped in egg layers in a traditional Japanese technique and they served it so fresh and hot! Their apps should not be slept on!

Staff are always friendly and welcoming and offer really great suggestions if you're new to Japanese cuisine. Interior isn't pictured but it's filled with beautiful traditional decor

But it just kind of slipped out of my consideration for no particular reason. But today I was driving near there, headed for somewhere else, and it hit me - Bento box sounds good today. And so it goes.. Parking in this small strip mall is usually pretty easy. It is a popular choice for lunch for many people that work in this business area of Elk Grove. I think that is because in addition to the good food, the service is not only friendly, but also very efficient. That allows you to have a nice sit-down lunch and still get back to work in time. They don't rush you, but you won't have to wait long for both the food and the check. Today I did have my delicious bento box, which as others have agreed, is a great deal for lunch. But I also splurged for a "Rock' n Rol" sushi roll, which was quite tasty. My waitress was wonderful - friendly and efficient as usual. But she didn't rush me personally. She even asked me if I wanted tea. In summary, it's an excellent choice for lunch. Good food, affordable, kind people, and a nice change from a fast food drive-thru.

He did all the tricks and didn't kill the egg yolk, he gave us sake sprayed into our mouths, made volcanos, and made it a really fun time. Lisa was our server and she was attentive, detail oriented, and considerate and friendly. Highly recommend. They have a huge 100 inch screen to watch TV and 3 more flat screen TVs all around. They have some K-pop music mixed in with other American pop music. The owner came by to check in with us and he was very kind and accommodating. They have free candy at the door. The portion sizes were very good. And if you are vegetarian, instead of giving you two shrimp on top of your meat selection, you will get fried tofu, which was a really nice substitution. This is my favorite hibachi place. And they also have frozen drinks which many restaurants don't do. My pina colada virgin was only $8 and with alcohol is $12. The beef was good quality and fresh. Great deal! Free parking.

Their game ended a little before 8:30pm. close time for JoJo's was 9:30pm. We had called ahead and gave them a head's up. I am very leery on going to a "team dinner" as they usually take a long time. This time was different, the staff was great, we all had a seat at a U-shaped table, team (20+) on one side, parents on the other side. Service was fast, and the food was so good (hibachi & sushi). We were out of there in less than 2 hours which seems like a long time, but that big of a party, that's unheard of. Thank you so much to the staff that was there Sunday night, highly recommend Jojo's!
