It's Korean-owned,…read moreand the business is very well run--clean, organized, fast service, and consistently good chefs. Every time I'm in the suburbs, I try to stop by because both the food and service are very consistent. My two favorites are the Omakase King and Hamachi Truffle Roll. I order these almost every time! The fish is always fresh, and I especially love that they use a smaller amount of rice with the sushi. You don't even have to ask for "easy rice," which is a big plus for me. Another nice thing about the location is that there are plenty of Asian markets, bakeries, and cafés nearby, so it's an easy place to stop for dinner before or after shopping. Fresh fish, good portions, clean atmosphere, efficient service, and very consistent quality. Definitely a go-to restaurant for me!

I got a hand roll for the first time as well, which was generous and delicious. For the prices of the sushi rolls here versus what's also in the nearby vicinity this is definitely worth it.

We ordered the Lemon Buttered Sea Bass -- pan-fried Australian sea bass with lemon butter sauce, sautéed asparagus and white rice. The sea bass was perfectly seasoned and really good! The rice, unfortunately, was a bit hard and cold, so that wasn't my favorite. We also got the Secret Garden Roll with avocado, greens, cucumber, asparagus, shiitake mushrooms and pickled radish, rolled in black rice and wrapped in soy paper. Vegetarian and gluten-free. For a gluten-free option, this was actually pleasant and tasty! The restaurant itself is chic and fun, and I think it's a great spot for a date night. The only downside for me was the music. It was SO loud that I felt like I was shouting the entire time just to have a conversation. Overall, we had a nice meal and I'm glad I finally checked out the Arlington Heights location!

Shakou has a few locations including this one which is a casual but classy place. For sure has lots of freshly prepared items. The menu also has lots of specials. Coming in here it wasn't busy. It's because it was early in the evening after it had opened. There's bar seating along with a good amount of tables. Get there at happy hour. There's great savings. It's about $12 for a cocktail. The best we had of these was the Japanese Mule. Great flavor. This is made with ginger beer, Junmai sake, lime juice, lime wedge, and mint. A lot of rolls to choose from. It's about $20 for a specialty roll. At happy hour it's a few bucks off. I got the Secret Garden Roll. This is made with asparagus, avocado, black rice, cucumbers, greens, pickled radish, and shiitake. It actually wasn't that much. Thankfully it wasn't the full price. Got to say it has great flavors.

PARTY TRAY G (67 PCS) - 86.95 Not sure what the markup was on the Uber Eats app, but it was definitely over $90+. The platter included nine different rolls. I'm not really a saucy roll kind of gal, so I stuck to the rainbow roll (a classic specialty roll that can be found anywhere) and valentines roll (raw tuna, salmon, yellowtail with avocado and masago, wrapped with pink soybean paper). These two were quite good, so I enjoyed 3-4 pieces of each. I tried a piece of the spicy tuna roll and the sauce was too overwhelming. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the rolls because they looked saucy so I avoided them. Overall, I enjoyed the rainbow roll and valentines roll, and the sushi rice hit the mark. Not a bad deal if you have a mid-size group looking to eat about 10 pieces of sushi for a meal or snack. You're only paying about $15 per person at take-out price (without Uber Eats markup or delivery fees).

A little shoutout to Sushi Station!…read more My sister and I have been frequent patrons for years, so we had to laugh when my niece chose a sushi theme for her 4th birthday party! Of course, Sushi Station had to be part of the celebration. We placed an order for the party and, as always, everything was perfect. The order was accurate, the service was great, and they even included the little chopstick helpers we requested for the toddlers at the party. Such a small detail, but very much appreciated! One of the things we appreciate most about Sushi Station is how consistently great they are. We always know what to expect, and they continue to deliver every time. Thanks for helping make our little sushi lover's 4th birthday extra special. Keep up the great work!

My family orders from Sushi Station probably every other week. No joke My daughter's favorite food is literally makis (we tell her it is sushi) from Sushi Station, so naturally we had to have them cater her birthday party. And somehow, even though we already knew how great they were, they STILL managed to completely over deliver. I actually faxed in my catering order I couldn't find an email contact, and while I saw that I could order online, I wanted to include some special requests and compliments. I figured hey, everyone loves a letter lol. They were so sweet about it and let me know I could order online in the future. But what really got me was how much they paid attention to the little things. Top priority of our guests were toddlers, and they gave us the cutest little chopstick helpers for the kids. I also made the slightly unusual request of asking if they could leave some space between the different sushi rolls because, let's be honest, we all have that one friend who doesn't like their food touching (oh my). They didn't even question it. They were incredibly accommodating. They checked in with me anytime they had a question, made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it, and the entire order came out PERFECT!!!!! And really, I shouldn't be surprised. They've been feeding our family for years and their service has always been amazing. The sushi was fresh, beautiful, delicious and incredibly affordable, especially considering we were feeding an entire birthday party. The quality and presentation were beyond what I expected. Thank you Sushi Station for helping make our little girl's 4th birthday so special. You guys absolutely knocked it out of the park. Amazing sushi. Amazing service. Amazing people. We will continue coming back again and again!

We ordered tako karaage (fried octopus), croquettes, Taiwan style tonkotsu ramen with 2 pieces of chashu, and the deluxe bento with butashoga (ginger pork). I had a bite of the pork and it was delicious. Ginger was not overpowering. Tender meat. Prices were very affordable and cheap. Service was great and he brought out our food hot and freshly made. I would definitely come back and try other items. -tako karaage 5 - it had a nice little chew and was not overly fried. Great taste. -croquettes 5 - I loved these. When you bite into them, they're soft. Flavorful, savory filling inside. I should have gotten more of these. -Taiwan style tonkotsu ramen 5 - noodles were chewy. Bountiful amount of ground pork. The two chashu pieces were tender and easy to break apart. Broth was not heavy, it was just right.

Unfortunately, we were not fans of the bento box. The bulgogi was extremely dry, and pretty much sauce less, and the chicken karaage was dry as well. The sauce was very rich.
