Edamame, Ginger Salad, And Tempura Vegetables

Steve A.

Great value of course when you get all you can eat. It certainly is the reason so many people like this sushi restaurant in Naperville. Sushi Naper is pretty casual yet also has a classy touch to it really. Fill up on the best stuff that doesn't taste like it was premade hours ago. The only thing is just eat it all or they will charge you for leftovers. Coming here at lunch is the best value you can get. It's also open at dinner when there's more stuff. The restaurant actually wasn't that busy the last time. Apparently enough that it got slow at times waiting for food. The waitstaff includes one of those robot waiters. It's about $23 at lunch. You fill out a paper. Appetizers include miso soup, and salad, along with things like sesame balls. Of course the rolls are the main thing. Get as many as you can. We got the Avocado, the Oshinko, and the V.G. Maki rolls. In the last one is avocado and cucumbers. They have dinner at about $32 and this has even more options. Get things on the hibachi. There's a crap ton for real and it's a wonder people aren't rolled out after getting stuffed. Has a lot to choose from like a buffet. It's just brought to your table. There's meaty things and seafood but it has plenty of things for vegans and vegetarians.

Various rolls, the staff didn't name them when they dropped off ‍

Our family's first time here and we enjoyed the appetizers, sushi rolls, sashimi, hibachi, and desserts options. Among our favorites were the miso soup which was quite tasty and flavorful with seaweed and was not just broth. We also like the ika salad, fish cakes, shrimp tempura, coconut shrimp, chicken yaki, fried oysters, and even sesame balls for dessert. They had so many options which was great. Our sushi favorites included Jojo, Rainbow, Sal-fornia, and Mango Tokyo, with its delightful crunch. If you aren't into too many sauces overtaking your sushi, we recommend these rolls. For sashimi, we always get some tuna, salmon, eel, tamago egg, and kanikama crab and they were generous on the slices. We also liked that the rolls were decently portioned and not overly stuffed with rice. Overall, the food here was delicious and they have a big selection for the price ($33/adult). They were also great at refilling water all through the night and taking plates away to help us make space at the table. There is also a robot that comes by to deliver some appetizers which made it fun for the kids. The women's bathroom also included a diaper changing table which makes it family-friendly. The only improvement I'd give is that we didn't know that the hibachi bar and desserts (ice-cream and mousse cake options) were included. It would have been helpful to know about the hibachi earlier because we can make some hibachi for the kids while waiting for our sushi orders. After seeing some people at the hibachi bar it prompted us to asked a staff and we found out it was indeed included in our AYCE meals. Now expect a little wait here if you dine. So upon walking in, we saw they had a sign that they were short staffed which helped set our expectations. I think we waited about an hour for our sushi order which was on the long side. The appetizers did come within 15 and another at about 40 minutes before the first sushi orders. We would have liked the staff to mention which rolls were which when they dropped off the plate but we know they were busy so we just tried to figure it out ourselves. I will credit that we're able to get all our orders in and didn't miss anything we had marked from our menu selections. Other than that, the staff were friendly and courteous. We ordered a Pokémon chopsticks and they gifted our kids a couple small toys which was such a nice gesture. It made our experience happy as we also enjoyed the food here and left with happy stomachs. And we got to top it off with delicious marble chocolate ice-cream and mouse cake deserts. What's unique about this place is that they display menu drawings from customers on their walls which our kids were excited about This place is family-friendly and offer many delicious selections for their pricing. This made our drive down to visit and dine in worth it so I'd be up for coming back! P.S. Also, if you're a fan of Sushi City in Downers Grove, this place share similar rolls on the menu (many rolls are of the same name as they are partner locations) but this location have hibachi option and the other one does not.

I was happy to see several sushi chefs working on orders for a busy Friday night. We had a large group of 11 and ordered AYCE sushi. I was pleasantly surprised the staff kept up with all the orders in such a timely manner. The sushi was fresh, sliced moderately thick and had a good selection of specialty rolls. I enjoyed the Ika salad and noticed it had an especially strong vinegar flavor. The Karage was not what I expected-- the batter was crispy but fairly dark in color. It was not piping hot like I'm used to it being served. It felt like it was fried in old oil and left out too long before being served. The staff was especially attentive to our large group and was great about refilling water, bringing extra napkins and taking additional orders. I would definitely come again!

This place is great! Michelle is the most amazing hostess. We come here every week with a group of 10-20 people and they are always so accommodating. This is a great place to enjoy sushi.

Sharon V.

Really enjoyed our lunch here. First time. Trying to compare it to the other nearby AYCE restaurant. Sushi Naper blew them away. Service was awesome. Half full today on a Friday but not once did they make a mistake. Water is filled constantly by different servers! Everything was good! Taking 1 star off for house salad. I didn't care much for the dressing. :) We will surely be back here. I'll bring the whole family next time. All 7.

Meeting my girlfriend here for the first time and it was a great experience! All you can eat with soooo much to choose from. They even have sashimi and half rolls! Super nice and friendly service, huge space with lots of tables and sushi was delicious with tons of appetizers! Will definitely be back and highly recommend!

I love Sushi Naper. They have a amazing menu with so much to choose from. I really love the AYCE Sushi rolls - especially the 1/2 rolls. The 1/2 amount gives you more opportunity to try Sushi. The Mongolian grill is just as yummy!

Hands down one of the best unlimited sushi spots I've been to! From the moment we sat down, the service was fast, friendly, and super attentive. The rolls kept coming out fresh, beautifully plated, and full of flavor--not the rushed, sloppy kind you sometimes get at all-you-can-eat places. Every bite tasted high quality and made-to-order. The variety was amazing: classic rolls, creative specialty rolls, appetizers, and even hot dishes--everything was consistently delicious. The fish tasted fresh, the rice was perfectly seasoned, and portions were generous without being overwhelming. What really sets this place apart is how efficient and organized everything is. Orders come out quickly, there's no long waiting, and you actually get to enjoy the "unlimited" part without feeling stressed or forgotten. Perfect for date night, friends, or when you just want to fully indulge in sushi heaven Absolutely worth it--will 100% be coming back!

Naper Sushi is awesome. We love sushi and this place is the best. The quality is second to none. Also, when you are here say hello to Michelle, she will treat you like family.

Dri A.

We've come here so many times and we always love the torched dragon roll! Sushi Naper's food, presentation, and customer service never disappoints. They even offer gluten free soy sauce, which is an awesome option for gluten-free eaters. 5/5 hands down!

Michaela B.

The all you can eat option is definitely the way to get the best bang for your buck. There are so many options to choose from including appetizers, soup, salad, etc. the quality of seafood is incredibly fresh. The integrity of the rolls was solid. Definitely will be coming back soon! The servers were very attentive and were quick to stop by often to refill water, and deliver food. Everyone was pleasant and kind on the staff. This location is more of a casual, modern setting, making it great for a group outing, family meal out, or a casual date night spot.

We live in suburbs and always Go to the City for good AYCE Sushi. This place is closer and have good sushi ! The appetizers are also good and a lot of selections, fried oysters and takoyaki! Service is quick and efficient. Definitely a new place for us.

Amazing food! And amazing people! Will continue coming back with my family! The sushi was delicious as always (: will forever recommend this place!

The selection is broad (including a blueberry sauce on one roll), and the rolls are fresh. Sesame ball's appetizer came out warm and tasty. The wait staff are very nice, but sometimes a robo-cart brings the food to your table instead of a human. But the wait staff checked on me when there was down time. I enjoyed every roll except for the fried one (Chicago Fire) which was a bit dense and heavy. It's nice that rolls, sashimi, hibachi appetizers, and dessert are all included in the all-you-can-eat price, so you Jane lots of options. The dining room is spacious and lots of booths, which is nice. But you need to order from a tablet at your table, so if you are really old fashioned that would be a draw back. read more

Excellent! All of the sushi was fresh, the service was impeccable, and they never let a glass go unfilled--which was a huge plus for me. The Mongolian food was also very fresh, with a great selection of ingredients from the bar that you choose for them to cook on the grill. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. If you'd like, I can also make it shorter, more enthusiastic, or more professional (for Google, Yelp, etc.). read more

I can usually tell if I'd like the sushi if the rice is seasoned well. In this case the sushi was mediocre. Service was good but it did take forever for us to get our check. They have a good amount of options on their AYCE menu so that's a plus. It's located inside a plaza so parking is easy. Overall I wouldn't come back only because everything was just okay and didn't stand out to me. read more

Food is always good, and the value is great if you get their specials! HOWEVER, they are extremely understaffed or unorganized in the kitchen or something. We've noticed this with our deliveries taking an extra long time. Tonight I placed an order online, said it would be "ready by" the time I showed up (30 minutes after ordering), and I waited an extra 20 minutes still in the place, just standing around. They're good value but not fast! read more

The food was delicious! My granddaughters love sushi, and they said this place was wonderful! They got an all you can eat buffet, and it was definitely filling. The service was good and the food came fast, and we were never waiting for sushi for more than 3-5 minutes. The people were also friendly, and checking in on us. I thought this place was great! read more

The headline here is that the service is SLOW! My husband and I went to Sushi Naper on a Sunday evening. The restaurant was close to half full. It took at least 30 minutes for our sushi order to come out. This is completely unacceptable. The quality of the sushi was really good and fresh. They offer rolls that I can't find elsewhere. Our sever was amazing. He was attentive, checked on us often, and was funny. He deserves a raise! The restaurant offers a lot on their all you can eat menu. Appetizers, sushi, nigiri, Mongolian barbecue, and dessert are all included. The service was too slow to warrant a return to Sushi Naper. read more

For me, some good parts and some not so good parts of the experience. Being the only all-you-can-eat sushi spot in Naperville, there was definitely a lot of interest -- as well as a spot that is large enough to comfortably accommodate a large group of people (10+). Service was friendly, though it took a rather long time to get food. Perhaps the greatest plus of this spot is their expansive menu. This is both in terms of the amount of offerings and the type of offerings. I don't think anyone around has nearly as many specialty rolls as sushi naper -- which makes up for a slightly higher than average 31.99 dinner price during my visit (though sushi seems to be quite expensive overall in Naperville, so this wasn't far off competitors). There are also unique ingredients like mango, torched salmon, fish eggs, etc. that you don't always see offered in an AYCE. The enormous choice might also contribute to inconsistency I saw throughout the meal. It almost seemed like luck for whether I got a tightly packed maki or of it was nearly falling apart. Throughout the menu, it was quite a variance between rolls that were good or just okay, which also applied to the nigiri as well. The only thing that was quite consistent was that the fish was quite generous throughout all the items and the amount of rice was the same as you'd expect from a non-AYCE restaurant. However, even between orders of the same roll, sometimes the assembly could be extremely neat and at other times a bit sloppy. With the ingredients as well, sometimes vegetables were quite crispy and other times felt a bit soft. Outside of a pretty crispy sweet potato roll, the texture contrast wasn't really evident in items either. The nigiri however was quite good throughout, better than expected for an AYCE restaurant. The presentation was also quite good throughout with a good amount of color and neat presentation. The appetizers were similar as well, both better than expected for items like the fried oyster and takoyaki, but a bit disappointing for the crab rangoon and miso soup. But the presentation was still good and portion sizes quite generous. Overall, the offering is quite good with lots of selection, and a little high but still reasonable price. The food has fairly good presentation and is enjoyable though inconsistent. But the large restaurant with plenty of parking and being the only AYCE sushi choice in Naperville do make it one of the places to return to, even if it takes a while to get food. read more

Sushi Naper has got to be our #1 favorite all you can eat sushi spot in Naperville! Our #1 Sushi Naper roll was without a question, the torched dragon roll! It consists of shrimp tempura/crab meat topped with salmon, super white tuna, spicy mayo, sweet eel sauce, nuto sauce and then is torched Other notable favorite rolls: Chicago Fire. Godzilla, Jo Jo, Turtle, Hi Way They also have a good selection of appetizers (our favorite being crab rangoon of course)! Apps are brought to your table via robots Rolls are brought to you via real people (good service) though Check out Sushi Naper next time you're in town! It was $29.99/person for dinner when we went. Ambiance conveys good vibes overall! It's spacious and the air flow is great. I've never had to wait long for a seat! read more

Service was very disorganized. As a party of two, we waited just over half an hour to get half of our entrees, and another fifteen minutes (after having asked a waitress AND the manager about it) for the rest of the food. Manager tried giving us a really low discount, initially at 10%, but we talked him into 15%, which I believe was still low. Couldn't get some of our food comped- staff seemed like they were trying to push us to get the rest of our food even when we considered not wanting it anymore. They mentioned that the order was "lost," but then also claimed that it was being made when we asked them prior to their admission. Overall a disappointing experience, would not go back again. read more

They did make a comment saying that they weren't expected to get this busy, but the restaurant was about 60% to 70% capacity at max.

(It wasn't a joking manner that they said it.) Overall, the vibe that we got from the server was so strange and uncanny, it took forever to get our food, and we left disappointed. The restaurant looks really cool and the food was good, so it was disappointing.

If you're a cheesecake fan, it's a pretty sad way to end the meal. Thankfully my last sushi bite was the Zuke salmon, which is always excellent. We spent around $350, which normally isn't an issue because we've had great experiences here in the past. But this visit was frustrating. My sister-in-law has a serious allergy to seeds and peanuts, and we were crystal clear about needing no sesame. In the past, the staff has been extremely careful and accommodating. This time, two rolls came out with sesame. We were willing to let those slide and said it was fine. But then they brought out a third roll with sesame--and that's when we got agitated. At that point, it really ruined the shared meal we were hoping for. What was safe tasted great, but the repeated mistakes took the enjoyment out of the experience. We weren't in any rush, but it definitely felt like the kitchen was winding down for the night. Chef Soon also wasn't there, which was disappointing because it genuinely felt like the attention to detail wasn't the same without him. And not to sound cheap, but after that many allergy-related mistakes, there should have been some sort of acknowledgment of an apology, actions speak louder than words. In my opinion a small discount, a complimentary dessert or app, something should have been offered. Instead, nothing. Chef soon is my favorite sushi restaurant. I often tell anyone in Illinois it's the best I've been to here. Normally this is a solid five-star spot for us, but tonight was a three out of five at best. Mistakes happen, and I'll be back... but this visit was honestly pretty upsetting. I think I may be on a search for a new favorite sushi place for my sister.

We had a reservation for five people, but one family member was unable to attend due to a last-minute conflict, so we arrived with four. When we checked in, we informed the host of the change. Rather than simply adjusting the reservation, the manager immediately began lecturing us about not calling ahead and told us that if we had notified them earlier, our reservation would have been canceled and we would have been placed on the walk-in waitlist. What made this especially confusing was that we were still honoring our reservation and dining with four guests. We were not canceling, arriving late, or significantly reducing our party size. The change occurred at the last minute, and while we would have called had we known earlier, arriving with four instead of five did not seem like a situation that warranted the response we received. We were then told we would have to wait and were placed on a waitlist despite several open tables, including an empty table already set for four guests. A few minutes later, another table was prepared and we were seated directly next to that same four-person table, which remained empty. Unfortunately, the interaction did not end there. After we were seated, our server informed us that she had been instructed to tell us that making a reservation for five and arriving with four would not be tolerated in the future. At that point, I asked who the manager or owner was and was directed to the same individual who had addressed us when we arrived. To the server's credit, she apologized and explained that she was simply relaying the message she had been told to deliver. By then, however, it was clear that the manager felt it necessary not only to reprimand us personally but also to have the message repeated through our server after we had already been seated. What could have been a simple conversation about reservation expectations instead felt unnecessarily confrontational and embarrassing. To be clear, this review is not about a restaurant's right to establish reservation policies. It is about how those policies are communicated. We never expected special treatment--only courtesy, professionalism, and respect. After four years of dining here and bringing family and friends, we were surprised to be treated this way over a one-person difference in our party size. We chose to leave before ordering and, unfortunately, will not be returning. What makes the experience even harder to understand is that there were multiple open tables visible in the restaurant at the time, including the empty four-person table next to us and several other unoccupied tables. Given the available seating and the fact that we were still dining with four guests, the manager's response felt unnecessarily rigid and entirely out of proportion to the situation

It's a beautifully converted old mansion with manicured outdoor spaces and an elegant interior. The white tablecloth atmosphere delivers on the promise of a special night out. That said, if you're coming expecting a transportive Spanish dining experience, temper those expectations. A few decorative plates on the walls aside, the space reads more traditional Southern manor than Iberian escape. Charming, yes. Spanish, not really. Now the food, because that's where things get interesting. The cream of rice soup was a genuine highlight. Buttery, brothy, deeply comforting. The kind of dish that makes you lean in after the first spoonful. The baguette served alongside it though? Stale. Sliced too far in advance and the butter arrived ice cold, straight from the fridge. At $100 plus per person, that is a detail that matters. The Queso con Pacanas had beautiful individual components but suffered from what became a recurring theme of the night: strong flavors competing rather than collaborating. The pungent cheese steamrolled everything else on the plate. The wine soaked pears showed up again later on the Chuleta de Cerdo, and while the idea is lovely, serving a pear half unsliced in a fine dining context means you're asking the guest to do compositional work that the kitchen should have already done. The Jamón Iberico is the most expensive item on the menu and the meat itself is worth every penny. Nutty, buttery, exceptional on its own. But the parmesan blanketing the flatbread crisps overpowered it completely, and a lone raw garlic clove sitting on the plate with no instruction is not fine dining. Our server was sweet enough to explain you're meant to rub it on the cracker yourself, and she handled it with grace, but that explanation should not have been necessary. The Patatas Bravas were well seasoned with a solid aioli but landed mushy rather than crispy. A miss. The Gambas a la Plancha was the clearest win of the evening and not by coincidence. It was the simplest dish. Well seasoned shrimp, bright lemon butter, nothing fighting for attention. Sometimes restraint is the whole answer. The Chuleta de Cerdo had a beautifully cooked, smoky and peppery pork chop and a mushroom sauce that genuinely complemented it. But then the cinnamon heavy root vegetable puree pulled the whole plate in a completely different direction. Our server was genuinely wonderful, funny and warm and attentive even while training a new hire. She was the clearest bright spot of the service experience and the one thing we left talking about fondly. We left the rest of the meal a little baffled. The head chef hails from Valencia, and we were told that influence shows in the food. Maybe it does and our palates just weren't reading it. But between the confused flavor profiles, the inconsistent execution, and a cuisine identity that felt more scattered than intentional, we walked out laughing and scratching our heads more than satisfied. Beautiful place. Lovely server. The food just never quite found itself.

Another party of two came and they were also waiting and they flagged someone down. The host said the same thing as earlier, they have tables that haven't been cleaned. 10 mins later he goes to try to seat them knowing we were there first. The lady even told him, well they were here first. He went ahead and seated them anyway then came back and got us. It's 245. I told him we had a reservation for 230.

I ask him if that's enough food and he says yes, but you can keep a menu in case you want more. Our table was 2 adults and 2 kids who are 11 and 9. Fried rice comes out first and the meats. I ask him to bring the white rice too for my son. He said he forgot and will grab it right away. Let's just say he brought the white rice a good 15 mins after...and I had to remind him. So my son is sitting there eating his meat with no rice. The hirami in the pot was a good size but there were 5 pieces of ribeye and 5 pieces of filet and 5 pieces of chicken and maybe 8 pieces of the kalbi. How is this enough for 4 people? So we order another 2 orders of kalbi. I don't know the happy hour portions are tiny. We also needed refills and that took a couple reminders. We also ordered another order of rice. We are pretty much done eating when I ask him what happened to our rice order? He said he will check and that he ordered it awhile ago. He comes back within 2 minutes with our rice saying there was a mix up in the kitchen? Was it really a mix up or did you just forget? By the time we get our check it's 445. Why did this take so long? We have been there before and we are usually in and out in an hour and a half. So they took the fried rice off our bill. Then for tip, it's asking if we want to tip 18, 22 or 22%? Are you being serious? This guy had to constantly be reminded of everything, service was so slow and he had only two other tables. Someone else was picking up our dirty plates and bringing us the meats. I've never had a bad experience here until now. The visit wasn't worth the $180. Food was good except the filet. That had no flavor at all and had to be drenched with the sauces on the table. We have gotten delivery from here before and the portions were bigger during delivery. One other thing to note, the server never even changed out our grill...they usually do that half way through.

VAI's Italian Inspired- Kitchen + Bar

Family-owned & operated

Full bar

My girlfriend Diane and I have been coming to Vai's Italian Inspired Kitchen + Bar since we first…read morestarted dating in September of 2023, and somehow this place continues to exceed expectations every single time. Tonight felt especially memorable and worthy of a proper review. We usually avoid Friday nights because Vai's is almost always packed... and after tonight, it became crystal clear why. Diane and I were craving a standout meal, a little comfort, and a relaxing evening together. What we received was far beyond dinner service. We were treated like valued regulars and genuinely welcomed from the moment we arrived. Pete, who I believe is the manager, recognized us immediately and encouraged us to put our name on the waiting list despite the crowd. I'm grateful he did. While we waited, we sat outside near the fire on a cool evening, which added another layer of warmth and ambiance to an already inviting atmosphere. Within minutes, Pete came outside personally to let us know two seats had opened at the bar. That level of attentiveness matters. As soon as we walked in, Eliot and Mallory greeted us with smiles and authentic positive energy. Not forced. Not transactional. Genuine. They made us feel appreciated simply for being there. Even on one of the busiest nights imaginable, they engaged with guests with the same warmth and attentiveness we've experienced during quieter weekday visits. In the background, Morgan was crafting cocktails with precision while still finding time for a familiar nod that quietly says, "Good to see you again." That kind of hospitality cannot be faked. We ordered our favorite dish, the Lobster & Shrimp Rigatoni and once again it was exceptional. Rich, consistent, perfectly prepared, and easily one of the best dishes in Naperville. Without us even asking, the kitchen thoughtfully split the entrée onto two plates. That small gesture perfectly captures what makes Vai's special... attention to detail seems woven into everything they do. From the fire outside to the flowers inside, from the cocktails to the consistency of the food, Vai's creates an atmosphere that feels welcoming, polished, and sincere all at once. Authenticity and respect seem embedded in the culture there. Tonight was a standout evening for us, and I'm genuinely glad we decided to stay despite the crowd. Pete, Eliot, Mallory, Morgan, and the entire staff - thank you for reminding us what great hospitality looks like. Outstanding indeed.

Happy Lamb Hot Pot

The best hot pot in the burbs, hands down…read more The location is a fun re-purposed 70s build. It is a cozy location with a lot of space. Always feels welcoming and warm (especially in the winter). I cannot say more than all of their food is delicious. The meat is great and fresh, the buffet veggies are tasty, and the extras they offer (sesame balls, spring rolls, etc.) are a nice touch! You can't go wrong with any of the broths, but don't be shy to try the spicy. It is not overwhelming and adds great flavor. The staff is great and always willing to answer any questions. They are quick to refill broth or bring any refills for meats. Perfect for a group or a delightful date. Many happy returns to this favorite!

This was my first time at the Happy Lamb location in Naperville. I've been to other locations in…read moreChinatown and Bridgeport, but each location has its own appeal. This one's building looks like a beautiful lodge. While there is an online Yelp waitlist (that goes up to 6 people), we had a party of 8 so I called the restaurant and they were happy to put my name down for a reservation. We came to celebrate my dad's birthday. We brought a cake to share, and when we arrived, our server was gracious enough to store it in the fridge until we were ready. We had 6 adults and 2 kids. Kids under a certain height (I forget the details exactly) are free. So we didn't have to pay for the little ones, and not like toddlers appreciate hot pot anyway. It was more, "how do we make sure they don't touch the pot?!" which went totally fine. It's to position the high chairs the furthest away from the knobs/hot surfaces. On our end of the table, we got the half-half broth of classic marrow and the gold cabbage marrow. The golden marrow was SO GOOD. I would get this again and again, because it's hot/sour; the flavor of pickled cabbage and the spice of Szechuan peppercorns. Our server said the spice builds over time, and it did. It was so flavorful that I barely used my dipping sauce. If you like hot/spicy and sour, choose this broth, it is DELICIOUS. The sauce station and the prepared food buffet was located in the middle-back of the dining area. It's a little packed and cozy in there, especially during the dinner rush, you may need to wait a little longer or keep an eye on the area to determine when to get out of your seat. This same area has self-service personal ice cream cups, soda, additional toppings/veggies/proteins, buffet (fried rice, fried chicken, egg rolls, fried buns) AND the sauce station. What I did love is there was a gentleman who was making balloon animals/hats/characters for sale near the front of the restaurant. He says he does this occasionally when he doesn't have other gigs like parties or weddings, etc, so my kiddo and my niece each got a cat and a bunny, respectively. This made their day! And it was nice for them not to be strapped into a high chair the whole time, and have something to entertain them. Overall, 4 shining stars! It would have been great if they had private and semi-private rooms like the Bridgeport location, but I think this wasn't possible due to their building. It looked like they took over a from a Mangia Bubala Roadhouse (Italian and Jewish fare) which took over from a Connie's Pizza. This place has gone through some changes, but it looks like Happy Lamb will be there for the long-run.

I'd return again and again. I will always sit in a high-top at a restaurant, with the comfort of…read morethe stools at The George, I couldn't resist. Leather stools, dark wood, the place had a cool, masculine look, but was very comfortable. There was also low upbeat music playing. The food was impeccable, very fast, and knowledgeable; friendly waiters served us. Minus one, but that's a topic for another post. Let's talk food. I refuse to eat spam! Canned meat.... absolutely not. The spam here was .... so good, and came with a spicy mayo. literally so good! Eat them before they get cold. Ruffle fries, excellent, also need to be eaten before they get cold. There is a somewhat sweet sauce on top. The salads are huge!! so delicious and filling. Also, this place is on the corner and offers great people watching. Excuse the half eaten food pics the convo was so good, I lost myself.

Monday night @ 4:45. Greeted and seated immediately. We had heard this place was always busy, and…read morethey don't take reservations, so we made an early night of it. We were the only table in the restaurant, so our plan worked. Multiple tables were seated while we waited and dined. There is not a ton of seating at The George, so I can see why it gets so busy. If you're like me, and don't like waiting, plan on an early evening. The service was very good. Our server was very attentive, and the food came out quickly. I am a Stroganoff lover, so I had the Short rib stroganoff. Hubby had a Patty Melt. He requested American cheese vs Swiss, and no salt on the fries. His order came out exactly as requested. His meal was delicious. I, unfortunately was not a huge fan of my food. To start, the dish was very very salty. In addition, the short rib was very tough and chewy. The meat also had somewhat of a gamey taste. To be fair, I have not ordered short rib before, so maybe that is normal. Regardless, I did not enjoy it. We might return as there were several other items on the menu that sounded good. Based on the ambiance, the service, and hubby's meal, I would recommend The George, but I would steer clear of the Short Rib Stroganoff.

I rarely find myself compelled to write a negative review, but my recent experience at Sushi Naper left much to be desired. Upon entering the restaurant with my husband and our three-year-old, we were greeted with an absence of smiles or basic courtesy. Despite our request for a booth, we were informed that they were unavailable. As we settled down, we asked for menus and inquired about a kids menu, only to be told that one wasn't available. We decided to order the all-you-can-eat sushi option and some edamame, although it was peculiar that the latter wasn't listed on the all-you-can-eat menu. Throughout our visit, the hostess appeared to be in a perpetually sour mood, providing no smiles or expressions of gratitude for our numerous expressions of thanks whenever she brought out our food. Regrettably, the quality of the sushi was subpar. The rice was cold and hard, overpowering the flavors of the fish. However, the most disappointing moment came when my three-year-old began to eat some edamame. Since there was no kids menu available, I requested chicken nuggets for her. To my surprise, as soon as the plate arrived, the hostess promptly reminded me that I had to pay for her food separately. While we had no qualms about paying, it was disconcerting that there was no clear indication of the pricing for kids' meals. Lastly, when we asked for some Mochi and inquired about the available flavors, the hostess replied, "I don't know, I'll have to check." This left me feeling as though I had entered an alternate reality. Upon her return, I specifically requested the chocolate flavor, to which she responded, "You know this is additional charge, right?" I have never encountered such a discourteous manner of speaking in any establishment. Despite the quiet ambiance and the lack of a crowded lunch crowd, I couldn't comprehend the underlying issue. It's important for those in the service industry to adhere to certain etiquettes. Apart from the abysmal service provided by the hostess, the food itself was undeniably below average. I strongly urge you to save yourself the disappointment and choose another dining option. read more

Sushi was fine for AYCE and price was pretty good. My issues are with their service being terribly slow, and their "must finish all your order" policy or be charged a la carte for remaining food policy. My family and I ordered a fair amount of food, because we're not afraid to eat. Probably 80-90 individual pieces of sushi, all in. With literally 6 pieces of sushi remaining, we were getting full. I asked for the check, as we were wrapping up. Waiter says he will NOT bring my check until either (1) food is completely consumed, or (2) be charged a la carte for remaining pieces. I asked if I can have the remaining food packed to go. Yes, but still a la carte charge for that. Waiter seemed bothered that we were having this discussion at all. (Owners - I hope you're listening here.....) Seems understandable that customers who eat AYCE tend to eat until they're full. Forcing them to OVER eat or be punished is just strange and unusual. I'm paying for the food already, so what's the point of the extra charge over 6 pieces? After we forcibly finished the remainder of the food, our waiter was reluctant to come back to our table to close us out. Maybe your policy could just be that one must finish what's on the table before placing orders for any ADDITIONAL sushi? Again, food was fine, and it wasn't a bad value. Maybe 3-4 stars on the food, but absolutely 1 star on service. Until this policy changes, we have plenty of other sushi options in town. Just my humble 2 cents. Thanks for reading. read more

My experience at the only all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant in Naperville had its ups and downs. It's a spacious venue, ideal for large groups, and the staff was friendly, though the food took quite a while to arrive. One of the highlights is the extensive menu, featuring a wide variety of specialty rolls that justify the $31.99 dinner price, which is fairly competitive in Naperville. Unique ingredients like mango and torched salmon were a nice touch and not often found in AYCE spots. However, the variety also led to some inconsistency. The quality of the rolls varied; sometimes they were tightly packed, while other times they fell apart. The fish was generous, but the overall assembly could be hit or miss, with some rolls being neatly presented and others quite sloppy. Vegetables also varied in texture, though the nigiri was surprisingly good. Presentation across the board was colorful and appealing. Appetizers were a mixed bag too. Dishes like fried oysters and takoyaki exceeded expectations, while crab rangoon and miso soup were a letdown, though still well-presented and generously portioned. In summary, while the offerings are extensive and the price reasonable, the quality can be inconsistent. The large space and ample parking make it a worthwhile place to return to, even if you have to wait for your food. read more

Updated review. I had to go from a 5 to a 3 since their service has gone down a notch. I got the all you can eat and my wife ordered a dinner entree. After receiving some of my sushi, one of the other servers brought out two plates. My wife was waiting on her entree and all of a sudden, our main waitress rushed over and yelled "you cannot share!" She could of definitely approached it a different way. I also felt there were eyes on us the whole time making sure we weren't sharing. I also never got a water refill ‍ Sushi naper, you have good food but your service needs a little attention. Bring back the servers when you first opened. ---------------------------- One of the best AYCE sushi spots. Fresh nigiri and you can tell they are all about quality. The torched dragon roll is on point. The ambiance is incredible and they are getting beer and sake soon. Super nice owners and service is great. I approve read more

Sushi Naper has quickly become one of my go-to spots. The fish is super fresh like, surprisingly fresh for an all-you-can-eat place. The rolls are solid, with tons of variety, and they're not skimpy with the good stuff either. What really impressed me, though, were the hibachi and Mongolian BBQ. You don't usually expect that at a sushi spot, but both were awesome. The hibachi had great flavor and was cooked just right, and the Mongolian BBQ was a fun surprise, definitely worth trying. And the best part? The price. You seriously can't beat what you get for the AYCE. Great food, generous portions, and a ton of variety without breaking the bank. If you're anywhere near the area, give it a shot. You won't regret it. read more

I ordered a mixed sushi roll set and really enjoyed how fresh everything tasted. The slices of salmon, tuna, and avocado on top looked vibrant and well cut. Each piece was evenly made and held together nicely. The rice had a good texture, not too dry or too sticky. I also liked how the ingredients were balanced in each bite. The avocado added a creamy texture that worked really well with the fish. The presentation was simple but still appealing. It didn't feel overly decorated, which made it look more natural. The portion size was just right for a light meal. Overall, a solid choice if you're looking for something fresh and easy to enjoy. I would order this again. read more

Sushi is about average. The sushi all you can eat deal is attractive but only limited on the rolls. If you order sushi piece alone they come with huge amount of the rice. And you must finish all the rice. Any rice left on the plate will be additional charge to your final bill. Which is ridiculous. Traditional sushi is call 【one bite sushi】I guess the owner care about the profit more then have customer returning. If you want really good quality sushi this is not the one. There are many good sushi restaurant in Naperville. Consider Wild rice sushi good price good quality. Or Yamada sushi and poke . read more

I've been dining here for years now & never had an issue with staff, service, cleanliness, or freshness of the food itself! This place evolved over time they made things more convenient on placing orders & even do things digital which is better compared to other places.

When this restaurant opened it was great. The food is still good but the service has steadily gone down hill. There are 4 occupied tables and it took almost 10minutes to get our order taken, we stood at the Mongolian grill for a while waiting to even be noticed. The waitress was more interested in talking to the sushi chef instead of customers. Very disappointing. read more

Just getting in the location makes it not worth going. The parking lot is so disgusting. Everything may be fine on the inside but the outside is too much. I don't care who's fault it is but someone-needs to handle that. It's totally crap that's these businesses don't care about the filth on the outside that the customers have to deal with. read more
