We were actually headed somewhere else for dinner, but I happened to spot Yamada as we were driving…read morenearby. I suggested we pull into the plaza to take a peek. It didn't look busy at all on a Friday night, so we popped in. Yamada is tucked away in a big strip mall, so there's plenty of parking. Inside the restaurant is quaint. They kept the design simple. Not a ton of seating, though. The service was very friendly. There was just one lady taking/serving orders, and we only saw one sushi chef. Thankfully it wasn't too busy, so our food came in very reasonable timing. We ordered onion soup, sashimi appetizer, Crazy Tuna roll, Coconut Island roll, and Bumble Bee roll. The onion soup was decent. It was served in a cute bowl, although with a plastic spoon, which took away from the aesthetics. I liked that it was a nice small bowl of soup and only cost something like $2.25, so it didn't fill us up too much before the main food arrived. The sashimi sampler included six pieces of fish: two salmon, two tuna, and two pieces of some white fish. Everything tasted great. All three rolls were very good. I was really excited about Coconut Island since I love coconut, and it was good, but the Bumble Bee roll exceed our expectations. The Crazy Tuna was unique because it was topped with seared seasoning, providing a nice smoky flavor. Pricing was very reasonable. Turned out to be a great place for date night.

FULLY LOADED At…read moreNaperville's Poke Bros, your order can be as simple and straightforward as you like, or absolutely loaded with extras. When my wife and I are craving sushi but don't want traditional maki rolls, we'll pickup carryout from this place on Route 59 & Hassert in Naperville. Poke Bros is near a Melting Pot fondue joint and a Warhammer nerd rendezvous (sorry, it's the truth). I'd venture a guess we order poke bowls once a month or so, that's how much we enjoy them. I usually get a custom poke bowl with spicy tuna ($11.50), but you can also get regular ahi or marinated tuna. Preset choices include "the Hula" ($12) with shrimp & crab stick, or the "Johnny Utah" ($12.50) with salmon & avocado. I *have to* believe the owners of Poke Bros were fans of the 1991 action movie Point Break, as Keanu Reeves' character is named....Johnny Utah. There's no other explanation, or Google result! If you're feeling bold, you can opt for squid salad in a poke bowl. For those not interested in sea creatures, there's an option for chicken ($10). They even offer kids bowls ($7), which is the exact same thing albeit a smaller portion. Miso soup is available for $3. When making your own poke bowl, you first select a base (sushi rice, brown rice, or salad), then pick a protein, main ingredients (corn, tofu, ginger, carrots, pineapple, edamame, cucumber, scallion, sweet onion, jalapeno), sauce (ponzu, gochujang, wasabi aioli, coconut ginger, sweet chili), and toppings (sesame seeds, crunchy onion, wonton chips, tempura flakes, crushed cashews). You can add mango, avocado, seaweed salad, or fish roe for $1 extra. Their listing of mochi (Japanese ice cream) gets longer every time we visit. You can get 2 for $4, or 3 for $5.50. I've counted over TWENTY flavors so far: vanilla choc chip, red bean, strawberry, espresso, salted caramel, purple ube, coconut, earl grey, passion fruit, belgian chocolate, lychee, green tea, mango, black sesame, hazelnut, cake batter, banana pudding, açaí, and something called 'hojica'. That's a hell of a selection! * TL;DR * When the mood strikes us, Poke Bros has been a reliable choice. As much as we love these guys, I'd put them a tick below the Bolingbrook Poke Bros (on Boughton near I-355). That location has slightly nicer folks and gives "frequent eater" stamps towards a free poke bowl after 10 purchases. This one doesn't offer that perk, and most of the time the staff just hands over my bag of fish without any pleasantries. Come for the customizable poke bowls, stay for the impressive (and delicious) assortment of mochi. We'll be back.

The GLASS NOODLES (served with it) were some of the best I've ever tried. Although, the portion of the "Spicy Pork" itself was a bit underwhelming (in terms of quantity, texture, and flavor). Highly recommend ordering a side of Spicy Mayo and Garlic Soy to drizzle on top of the bowl for some extra flavor. The Rose Tteokbokki was okay. I selected an optional addition of Mozzarella Cheese along with it, but it had a VERY funky scent when it came out, which made it almost unpleasant to eat. While it was plenty cheesy and creamy, it was also missing the depth of flavor I was hoping for. It wasn't BAD, but I've had better. Perhaps I'd opt for the (regular) Tteokbokki instead of the Rose Tteokbokki next time (and I'd skip the cheese). I always appreciate when a spot offers free cups of water, which Kogii Kogii Express did. Overall, it was a solid dining experience. If you're craving Korean comfort food (in the suburbs), this place is a good choice.

Blue is a damn, damn good place to go. The vegan options are wide and varied (Hello full vegan…read moremenu), and most importantly - good. It is a bit pricey as it is a downtown Naperville location, but it fits for a lot of family activities that tend to match what I do: friends in Bartlett, swimming events nearby, etc. They have two(!) nice outdoor seating areas in addition to lots of space inside - making this a great consideration for summer. I've been here at least 2 if not 3 times now, and I will be coming again. Happy hour menu during Happy hour (which I believe is Sunday) is well worth it. I found my photos for both days, and added them. I do appreciate they have the qr code stuff for paying at the table as well.

When I go out with my infant I usually bring a stroller. Places have been hit or miss when I bring it in, but thankfully Blue Sushi Sake Grill had no issues with it. They placed my group in a spot where no one would be reaching over or around my baby. I greatly appreciated this! The options for happy hour are large, probably the best happy hour menu I've seen, EVER. The deals included drinks and food. I tried the white peach daiquiri and it was refreshing. It was a bit on the artificial side but overall I really liked it. It comes with boba which I found super fun for this drink. For food we tried the calamari and 4 different rolls. I don't normally like fried calamari but from Blue I LOOOOVED it. It was crispy, tasty and also comes with veggies. All the rolls were delicious too. A friend suggested we try the cowgirl roll and surprisingly it was so good! Reminded me of a cheeseburger in sushi form, super fun!
