I stopped by Sushi Ukai in Wheaton for lunch and ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box. The bento…read morecomes with chicken teriyaki, shrimp and vegetable tempura, a California roll, and miso soup. The restaurant itself is clean and cute, with a nice, casual atmosphere. It could be a cute spot for a date night. And they have a large fish tank that adds a fun touch to the dining area. The staff was also friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the chicken teriyaki was a big miss for me. It was extremely peppery and also a bit on the salty side, and I really didn't enjoy it. The California roll was decent, but the shrimp and vegetable tempura was actually deep-fried really well -- crispy and probably my favorite part of the meal. The miso soup was disappointing because the pieces of tofu were really cold. Overall, the meal was just okay for me. The atmosphere and service were nice, and I enjoyed the tempura, but I wasn't a fan of the teriyaki or miso soup. If I'm in the area again, I'd probably try a different sushi restaurant. ---- After the restaurant's response to my review, I do want to clarify that my 2-star rating is based primarily on the food (Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box). I agree that the service was good and that I enjoyed the atmosphere, but good service and ambiance don't necessarily earn an additional star when the main part of my experience -- the food -- was disappointing. Of course, taste is personal, and I understand that not everyone will feel the same way about a dish. However, that doesn't change my personal experience or how I choose to rate it. I appreciate the manager taking the time to respond.

The dining room looked…read moregreat, but we had a date with a TV show, so it was takeout. 3 rolls, 6 pieces of sushi, and an order of crab Rangoon to start. The crab Rangoon would have been better as a dine in option as it cooled a bit too much once it got home. Good flavor and loved the spicy dipping sauce (which is often watered down at other places). VERY generous portions of sushi. Tuna, salmon, and yellowtail all delicious. 3 rolls: Pink Lady, Crunchy Roll, and Sweetheart Roll. The first and last had their own special sauces to add, which we each delicious. The crunchy roll was the least interesting, though still tasty. Will need to dine in next time to give the crab Rangoon a fair chance. Otherwise, I recommend a good takeout experience.

Love the flavor of it...creamy, sweet & spicy and some crunch! The sushi rolls are solid as well. So many good rolls to choose from. I like the yaki udon. It's udon noodles stir fried with your choice of protein and veggies. I liked it before when there was some sweetness to it, but it looks like the recipe changed a bit and it is a bit more savory now. The tempura udon can definitely hit the spot on a cold night with its warm broth. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. This spot will always be on my top 3 spots to go to in the burbs.

We went full tapas mode and shared everything across the table, which is absolutely the right way to do this. The trio of salsas was a strong opener. The smoky Al Morita was the clear winner for me, though all three brought something distinct to the table. The Patatas Bravas were well seasoned and the sunny side egg on top added a richness that elevated the whole dish. Wanted a little more crisp on the potatoes but honestly a minor note on an otherwise solid plate. Tacos were a mixed bag. The Al Carnitas fell flat, the pork belly felt underseasoned and the lime overpowered everything else. The Al Fundido though was a genuine standout. Perfectly cooked butterfly shrimp, pickled onions, melty cheese. Every component earning its place on the tortilla. The Al Chulo got solid marks from the table but could use something bright to cut through the richness. The Chicken Empanadas were a highlight of the night. Shatteringly crispy, loaded with flavor, and the slaw alongside them was exactly the right call. The Al Mango Salad was fresh and balanced but leaned sweet and desperately wanted a crunchy element and maybe a little heat to round it out. Dessert delivered a split decision. The Al Platanito Frito was the surprise of the evening. Sweet, sour, bright, crunchy. A perfect final bite. The churros were perfectly fine and nothing more. Service was attentive and our server steered us well with recommendations. One heads up: this is not a casual weeknight cheap eat. It is tapas priced for the experience, so come hungry, come with a group, and come ready to spend. Worth it. The Plainfield location is next on our list and we cannot wait.
