Ordering takeout was smooth/seamless as I only needed to call ahead and do a pickup order. I appreciated the delicious bento box (Bento Box B) and the fatty salmon (2 of them). I will be back again! read more

I stopped by Sushi Ukai in Wheaton for lunch and ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box. The bento comes 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. read more

Great place for sushi. Large menu with lots of choices. Not just sushi, other Chinese and Japanese items as well. Probably the best Crab Rangoon I've ever had. Large pieces, fried just right. So often the edges are fried hard and the filling is bland. Not these. The family ordered a good variety of rolls and everything tastes great. Smallish place with a bit of a strip mall feel, but service was fantastic and food top notch. read more

Looking for a sushi spot in Wheaton I came across Sushi Ukai. Super friendly! When we walked in, we were greeted like we were family. Plenty of sushi options and some other options for non-sushi lovers. They have sake and wine available. My rolls were tasty. Check them out ! read more

This should have at least a 4.5 star to five star. The owners at the Wheaton, IL Sushi Ukai make it such a great dining experience! My family treasures this place. Great ambiance as well, rather than some techno-vibe throbbing music you will get nice music, warm atmosphere and a more traditional sushi bar feel. They also get great cuts of fish...."O Toro", Beni-Toro, (fatty salmon), Unagi, and many others. Try the black dragon roll with black "forbidden rice", (saved for the emperor only in the past), with soft shell crab on the inside, avocado, paper thin julienned cucumber, unagi, (bbq eel), on the outside with unagi sauce on the outside, (similar to a thicker teriyaki sauce). You will not find a sushi bar with better service, food and a place you will want to frequent more than this! They do a great job! I have been eating sushi for over 40 years and this place is special! read more

Really like this cute sushi restaurant in the Wheaton Danada area. Most of the time I get the Salmon Bento Box. The Bento box includes teriyaki grilled salmon, California rolls, shrimp/ vegetable tempura, soup and white rice. Can't really go wrong with any of the Bento boxes. Restaurant has a very nice layout with a small sushi bar. They also have semi private booths. Service was good and restaurant was clean. Thank you read more

A true hidden Gem in a corner of a shopping mall. I've always seen places that have those boats, I was so elated when it came out. I didn't even ask or expect it! The rolls were incredible, I loved my plum wine. I order it at every location. Incredible, friendly service. I posted a video on my Instagram: Lexi_thefoodie. Highly recommend! Outdoor seating (small intimate tables) and indoor which also seemed very nice. Pretty sure I saw a walk up window, and cool booths. read more

We tried a new place for sushi. I am glad we did. The sushi here was delicious. Our favorite was the Snow White Roll. It melts in your mouth. I couldn't give them 5 stars because when seated we were presented with a menu and then a sheet of paper to mark down our orders for the sushi chefs. The paper and the menu did not have the same items on them. A little confusing. Perhaps they are updating their menu... Either way, I would visit again. read more

Sushi Ukai - Wheaton - Snow White Roll, Sweet Heart Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

We ordered from here for a little pre-valentines meal. My husband got the niku noodles and gyoza. I got a sweet potato roll, the chicken vegetable noodle dish and crab Rangoon. The crab Rangoon- super rich, smooth and creamy. Very savory! There isn't any discernible crab chunks in there but Ir was enjoyable. Sweet potato roll- not overly flavorful, but worth the try. Chicken vegetable noodle- had a delicious sauce unlike anything I'd tried before. The chicken in it was tough and dry though. Niku noodles- my husband saw the picture on DoorDash and was excited to try this. He is EXTREMELY onion-averse and the dish did not list onion in it, neither did the photo show that. The picture vs what he got was pretty different. There was lots of onion and he was unable to eat it. I ended up having it for leftovers and I thought the flavors were good. The noodles were filling, but again the meat was a little tough. All in all, a 3 star experience. read more

It's usually a disappointment when I patronize a Japanese restaurant that employs non-Japanese servers who don't know much about Japanese cuisine. Not always, as in cases where the servers actually spent some time in Japan, but at Sushi Ukai, the ambiance is one of a wannabe Japanese restaurant. The staff needs to be educated on Japanese spices, condiments, utensils, manners. They were nice, but obviously other-Asian. We got served ramen with forks!!! read more

We ordered sushi takeout from Sushi Ukai in Wheaton recently. First time trying this place. When I got there to pick up the order, the place was packed with people picking up orders, presumably due to Valentine's Day. Despite being crazy busy and continuing to get calls for new orders, service was friendly. Anyway, we ordered a Fire Dragon roll, a Crunchy roll, and a Karma roll. The Fire Dragon roll was pretty tasty and was surrounded by a healthy dose of sliced daikon in its container. The black rice was an interesting touch, and it was nicely garnished with sauce. The Crunchy roll was a pretty standard shrimp crunch roll, with one difference -- the bottom had what seemed like a simple syrup, lending the roll an interesting touch of sweetness. I think it was missing masago, though. The Karma roll was unique because it was wrapped in daikon. Interesting. These rolls were rather big, so I had to try and bite each in half, which can get pretty messy thanks to the toughness of seaweed. At first, these seemed to be lacking in flavor, but then my wife realized that one of the plastic containers had not soy sauce, but unagi sauce. That upped the flavor. All the rolls were good and had some nuances that I haven't commonly seen, but taste-wise were nothing out of this world. Overall, 3.5 stars. read more

We had a nice lunch experience at Sushi House on a Friday afternoon. Quick service, water & tea refills. We had a salmon & a chicken bento box. The California rolls were a bit bland, but they tend to be anyway. Chicken & salmon were both hot & tasty and the teriyaki sauce was good. Tempura was very fresh. We shared 2 specialty rolls the Snow White Roll was extra delicious. Prices were average for sushi. We enjoyed our meal with no real complaints. read more

This was my place to go for sushi when I used to live in the area. I tried other sushi places around for the three years I live there and this one was so far the best sushi.I used to order the Fujiyama, it was sweet, the right type of sweet for me and crunchy (fried). Other rolls I liked were the dragon roll and the Chicago fire. For dessert their Mango, strawberry mochi were so delish. Their service was top notch always. I would definetely recommend this particular Sushi House that is located in Wheaton. read more

Have eaten here twice only during lunch. First visit had bento box with steak. Pretty decent but wouldn't do again. Tad bit too much rice considering it's comes w/a Cali roll & side of rice. Second visit did two rolls one feisty roll & tuna roll accompanied with miso soup. Overall tasty & affordable. On a Monday nice see other patrons ~ 4 other tables eating or celebrating a birthday. Can only speak on lunch dining since I've never come during dinner service. Not a big place inside but tables set apart that you feel comfortable not like communal dining. Overall a good choice whenever I'm grocery shopping at adjacent Pete's market but wanna grab lunch & never "grocery shop" hungry as the saying goes. read more

Great job on take outs! And always timely . I would definitely recommend. Thank you

Amazing service and some of the best sushi I've ever had. You won't be disappointed.

Very disappointed. I didn't realize this had changed ownership and was no longer Sushi House...until I got home with my order and saw the menu and our order. The roll we ordered was just bland and wasn't as described on their menu. We each ate one piece. We wanted a hot noodle dish so we got DanDan Noodles. The description said "pork and garlic stir-fry with hot sesame and peanut sauce." The sauce wasn't hot sesame and peanut sauce. I don't really know what it was because it had no flavor. It was gritty and absolutely awful. We got about 1/4 cup of meat total. After a couple bites it went into the trash with the roll. I doubt I'll give this place another chance because it was that bad. I am not a fast food person but I'd rather eat McDonalds than here. read more

Sushi House Wheaton is part of a small group of family owned and operated sushi restaurants in the western suburbs. I haven't been to all of them, but like their restaurant in downtown Glen Ellyn, the Wheaton location features an upscale feel, friendly and accommodating staff, and wonderful food. This evening three of us (two sushi lovers and one non-seafood eater) had a wonderful experience and a delicious meal. The sushi is fresh, expertly made, and delicious. The non-seafood items are wonderfully flavorful and delicious. Also, the hot and sour soup is worth the trip alone. Hot, spicy, and very tasty, I could almost have had the soup as a meal. The Wheaton location is smaller than the Glen Ellen location, it seems, but both locations are worth your time. We will be back. read more

I was unimpressed with Sushi House. I was going to see a movie at Studio Movie Grill, but arrived early to get good seats. Since we had time to kill we decided to try out Sushi House. We ordered miso soup and two rolls: Blackhawks and spicy tuna. The rolls were very small for the price you pay. The Blackhawks roll went overboard with the Tobiko. The service was lacking. I should have paid closer attention to the reviews before coming here. I learned my lesson and will not be back. read more

Amazing gem in Wheaton. We go at least once a month and I always have a great experience. The Uni is a must try as it is extremely fresh! It's difficult to find quality sushi and this place is great. The service is attentive and friendly and we always enjoy the quiet ambiance. My husband orders the noodles and says they are great as well! read more

I've had some mad sushi cravings lately, so (again after yoga) I called in an order to Sushi House. I ordered nigiri: 2 Tuna ($6) , 1 Ikura ($4), and 1 Benitoro ($3.55). I also ordered the Red Crunchy Roll ($15.50 - shrimp tempura, avocado, and masago, sliced tuna on top). They quoted me 10 minutes for pick-up. I got there a little after the quoted time, and my food wasn't ready yet. Since there is no seating in the front, they offered me a table to sit at. (There I am in tight, sweaty yoga attire and messy hair, right by the cash register with 3 servers who are just kind of standing around. Awkwardddd!) The space IS cute, though. It has a pretty decent Date Night vibe. There were two sushi chefs - one older Asian man, and the other a 20-something Caucasian guy. The latter was VERY chatty and was telling stories in a really animated way as they made sushi. I found it a bit humorous since the older man didn't seem the least bit interested. Still, entertaining. I waited for about 10 minutes inside. The containers they pack in are very large, so if you don't have a large order and get take-out, expect your food to slide around. My roll and nigiri ended up all pushed together, and the Ikura had toppled over on the commute (fish eggs everywhere - nooooooo!). I was really pleased that they packed the Benitoro separately in its own container, but dismayed that there was some sort of sauce poured on it, saturating the fish and rice. It was still good, but *I* like to control my saucy portions. The Tuna and Ikura Nigiri was really tasty. The fish-to-rice ratio was very good - LOTS of fish! I was super excited about the Benitoro, and it was also good. The rice was just OK - not the best sushi rice. The Red Crunchy Roll was also just OK. In all it was a better experience this time around, but the cost vs. taste... yeahhh, not really feelin' it. Sorry Sushi House. read more

Delicious food! Restaurant was quite busy so service was a bit slow. I had sushi and my partner had the ramen. Will be back!

Been going to this location for over 20 years....change in management has caused a shift in quality and service. Most of the rolls Sushi House use to serve is no more. Miso soup use to be so good, now it's so watery. The new sushi chefs care more about how rolls look verses quality of sushi rolls. It's sad we will hunting for a new sushi place. read more

The sushi was meh but the Dan Dan Noodles are one of the most disgusting things I've ever attempted to eat. And, it looks like a baby pooped in it. Essentially, it's brown mush atop udon noodles. Tastes like a mix of mud and peanut butter. Note to self - don't buy Szechuan at a mediocre sushi joint. read more

I've enjoyed trying many sushi restaurants over the last 10 years and I have to say Sushi House is one of the best I've been to. The place is immaculate, small, and charming. The waitresses (especially Tanya) are nice and every attentive. This is one of those places where you run out of your drink and they discreetly refill it without you even noticing. I've tried a large portion of their menu and I've always been pleased with the quality of the food. The sushi is always very fresh. The food is really presented with Japanese aesthetics in mind. I enjoy taking pictures of their dishes as evidenced from some of the pictures I've uploaded. The prices are definitely more expensive for dinner which is why I prefer going their for lunch, but it's all good. I'll pay the extra for the good quality and the good service. read more
