    Fries with chopsticks anyone?

    This place has really gone downhill. Too bad to see. The sushi rolls used to be amazing but now they're soggy messes. Their delivery food is just downright bad. Very small portions of miso soup, crab rangoons that are 90% wonton (or whatever type of wrapper) and 10% filling, no dipping sauce with the rangoons. The sushi rolls even when made fresh at the restaurant are just not any good anymore for the reason listed above. I keep trying to like this place, but just can't anymore. They do have relatively decent prices in a tough economy, but it shows in the quality of their food. Unfortunately I won't be back in person with my family anymore nor will I order delivery again. It's just too bad that the poor quality has driven my business elsewhere.

    Chirashi and vegetable tempura appetizer.

    Came here on a whim after shopping at Woodfield Mall. This restaurant is definitely catered towards a western crowd. Nothing is traditionally Japanese but you get a decent amount of food for the price. I can see why people come here for ayce. I got the Chirashi, vegetable tempura, and a Sapporo draft. A pint came out to $2.50 which is such a deal. Otherwise the tempura was decent and the Chirashi was a bit weird but fine. The cuts aren't the best with a variation of sizes and not the best pieces of fish but it didn't taste spoiled or anything. Just not smooth like good quality fish. The thing that turned me off was that the rice was cold and sweet. If you can get past that this isn't Japanese sushi then it's fine. If you want a cheaper sushi-ish meal in this economy then come here. If you're looking for something more traditionally Japanese, I would go somewhere else.

    On a whim, while at work, a day that I'd forgotten my lunch, I ordered from Sakura Sushi. It's been a long time since I had anything from there, and the first time I ordered delivery. I ordered two Maki Rolls. They were delivered, as expected, with ginger and wasabi in styrofoam. They also deliver chopsticks and soy sauce along with small trays to mix the sauce and wasabi. The presentation was fine, for delivery in styrofoam. I really prefer to have sushi in the restaurant, the presentation is so much better. I will admit, the quality of the food far surpassed the presentation. To go next time, I think I'll wait until it is safer to eat in their dining room. If you are comfortable doing so during COVID, Sakura Sushi is really worth it.

They've put the same level of attention and care into their selection of sakes. Service was warm and friendly, but never pushy or bothersome. They sent me a free dessert when they overheard my wife mention it was my birthday, it was a complete surprise. They also very thoughtfully asked if I'd like them to sing (I did not). That kind of thoughtful service reflects the comfortable, laid back atmosphere they've maintained, a welcome change over many high end sushi establishments that can be too stuffy.

One can sit at a table or the main sushi counter. The night I visited, it was rather slow which allowed staff to thoroughly wait on us. I asked a couple of questions about the menu. Our server explained that the most popular rolls were the Garlic Salmon, Mafia, and Hamachi Truffle. Most premium maki come as 8 rolls with the exception of Pink Flower and Tequila which are served as 6. All rolls are made to order with fresh ingredients. I also loved that they offered three options for veggie rolls as it's still my preference! To start, we ordered both the Lychee-tini and Old Fashioned cocktails. They couldn't have been more different in flavor profiles. The Old Fashioned was spirit forward yet smooth. It had a really nice finishing note that directly came from the Japanese Whiskey used. The Lychee-tini was sweeter and had good flavor. I also loved that there was actually a lychee at the bottom of the glass. For mains, my husband got the Mafia and Hamachi Truffle rolls per the staff's recommendation. He explained that the Mafia rolls were more of a mild heat. He preferred the Hamachi Truffle roll as it had a more unique and depth of flavor. I got the Black Garden roll without the jalapeño. I loved the freshness of the rolls and thoroughly enjoyed the veggies mixed with the sauce it had. We both agreed that all rolls tasted like they were made with premium, high quality ingredients. Once we finished, the chef came out to ask how we liked everything. Kaido's service level was amazing with staff clearing plates, refilling water, checking in on how we were doing, and just making sure we had the best dining experience. The details didn't go unnoticed and makes perfect sense why they have such an amazing Yelp score! Highly recommend visiting Kaido Sushi and looking forward to my next visit!

Conveyor belt sushi is a fun way to see what you're getting before grabbing a plate, and it's also nice to have the option to order directly from the screen at your table. I went to Kura in Japan over the summer, so I was really curious how the U.S. locations would compare. I honestly enjoyed the one in the States more. It's not fancy sushi, but it always hits the spot. I love that when you order nigiri from the screen, you can choose between regular rice or less rice. It's a great option if you don't want to fill up too quickly on rice. One thing to keep in mind with conveyor belt sushi is that you're charged per plate, and it adds up fast. Most plates are $3.85 and usually come with two pieces. If you're a big eater, I'd recommend an AYCE sushi spot instead. I'd also suggest going with an even number of people since many items come with two pieces per plate. On our most recent visit, my boyfriend and I ordered various nigiri plates, along with a bowl of shrimp tempura udon and their warabimochi dessert. Our favorite is always the garlic ponzu salmon, but the ones with yuzu jalapenos are so good, too! We ended up eating a total of 18 plates/items. With drinks, our meal came out to a little over $100. We weren't overly stuffed, but we felt content. After you insert 15 empty plates, you get a mini prize dispensed from a machine, which is a little something to look forward to. We got a small hand-roll acrylic charm on our recent visit!
