    Miso soup, Japanese salad and green tea

    A hidden gem! Saturday lunchtime we venture to Woow Sushi. It was an excellent recommendation from my husband. We ordered their bento boxes: I got teriyaki salmon and my husband got the chicken teriyaki. Both came with miso soup, Japanese salad, 3 pcs of California roll and 3 mini fried siomai. We also ordered shrimp tempura & Boston rolls from their lunch special. The food was well prepared and delicious. The portions were above average. Fresh wasabi is very much appreciated Service was excellent. The contemporary design of place gave a touch of charisma.

    I literally just ordered some gyoza on Uber Eats, and I asked for a sauce (i forgot which one so i asked for whatever) they have me a whole plethora to choose from. Service is wonderful, food is amazing, and prices are great. Thank you guys for the samples of all the yummy sauces!

    From the outside, definitely not very much to talk about. Once you get inside, it's an excellent atmosphere and great service. We ordered off of the lunch menu. We ordered the two roll and the pork tonKatsu. Great special place for sushi, highly recommend eating here!

    WOOW SUSHI - Miso Soup. It's a little thin, but there is plenty of seaweed.

    "Woow Sushi" is a creature of it's time and location. Placed prominently in the front section of a very large, multi-buildinged strip mall on Randle Road (a major street) in the township of Algonquin (a fairly robust area in Chicago's far northwest suburbs), "Woow Sushi" is pretty easy to spot, but a bit harder to get to. After suffering numerous failed twists & turns through the winding roadways of it's enormous and confusing mall-scape, we finally reached our planned destination. Based on the goofy name, I expected "WOOW Sushi" to be some tiny dump of a franchise, but it was not. The restaurant's size was deceptive from the parking lot view. But once inside my girlfriend and I saw that it took up two or maybe even three entire store fronts, going back deep to the far rear wall of the entire mall building. The place was huge. Of course, this only made the handful of customers there look like a few little groups of hobbits, even though there may have been more than a dozen, sitting in twos at their tables in the intimately dim central dining room. It actually looked nice in there, and maybe even romantic. But unfortunately we were sat at the far corner table near the service area of the bar, with carts full of plate collection bins and a bucket full of cleaning detergent about four feet away. I wanted to move to a table in the much more pleasant middle dining room, but my girlfriend, Maureen, had recently been giving me a lot of trouble regarding my continuous expressions of dissatisfaction with our seats and food and other problems, at multiple restaurants recently, restaurants that I felt could have served us much better, and she was pissed at me for it. It actually got to the point that if I said anything to the staff, or even asked for a refill of coffee that had been empty for way too long, she would hang her head in shame and embarrassment and maybe even start a fight. So I decided to just accept the nasty seat that they gave us, and avoid ruining our lunch with my arrogant complaints. However, before we ordered, when Maureen jogged off to the bathroom, I took the opportunity to ask a staff member to please stop mopping around our table and to move the bucket of cleaning liquid far away, because it stank - which they did, promptly before Maureen returned. As far as the menu here goes, "Woow Sushi" has a multi-sectioned menu, with each section listing dishes from a different Asian Cuisine: Japanese, Chinese, and Thai, with Japanese cuisine being the most prominent (nearly all of it Nigiri Sushi and American style over-embellished Maki Rolls covered in glitzy but cheap ingredients). But like so many other supposed "Japanese" restaurants in this area, 'Woow Sushi' is hedging it's bets by also offering it's customers a variety of other Asian favorites, like 'Pad Thai', 'Fresh Spring Rolls in Rice-Paper Wrap', & 'Pork Sate' (from Thailand), 'Hot & Sour Soup', 'Fried Rice', 'Kung Pao Beef', and 'General Tsao's Chicken' (from China), and of course 'Shrimp Tempura', Sukiyaki Beef, 'BBQ Char-Su Ramen Noodle Soup', and various 'Teriyaki' bowls (from Japan). 'Woow Sushi' also has a decent looking Sushi Bar, and a few higher quality bottles of Sake on it's liquor shelf. Overall, the "Pan-Asian" menu here offers enough 'Fan-Favorites' that the local northwest suburban customer base should be more than satisfied. But the best thing about the menu, and the reason that we decided to come on a Saturday, is because "Woow Sushi" actually offers it's weekday lunch specials on Saturdays up until mid-afternoon. Maureen doesn't care for Sushi, but she loves Tempura, so I emailed her a copy of the Saturday lunch specials, and the prominent one to peak her interest was the Tempura set, which offered 3 shrimp tempura & 4 vegetable tempura, plus miso soup, a crisp salad with ginger dressing, 3 gyoza dumplings, 3 pieces of California roll, plus a large portion of rice, all for $14. It was a shocking bargain seeing as the tempura alone cost $18 just as an appetizer. So we both got that set. The salad was great with that yummy ginger dressing. And although the tempura breading was a little heavy (being panko instead of batter) the shrimps were big and juicy and the crust on every piece was crunchy-good. And like the huge restaurant itself, the portions here are enormous. Both of us had enough leftovers for at least a full meal (and I had enough for two meals because I eat less due to my gastric bypass surgery in 2011). Our waiter was very attentive almost to the point of being wacky. It was the day before St. Patrick's Day, and even though he was Asian, he kept wishing us a "Happy St. Patrick's Day" and bringing us to-go boxes filled with extra miso soups and extra salads. Maureen was so taken by him that she asked me write, "Liam was such a sweet waiter I hope you will give him a great review". So I have. And he deserves it. "Happy St. Patrick's Day" Liam. Yours, Maureen & Eric. We'll be back.

    Had a girls night out. We had a few fun cocktails they were delicious. We then ordered some sushi and tuna. It was a delicious dinner. It was a fun birthday dinner

    everything was very tasty, cheap and the waitresses were very nice everything is clean, nice atmosphere, everything is great, I recommend it

    Upon walking up to the front it doesn't look to grand as its inside a stripe mall, however the decor is pleasant to look at and everything looked neat, tidy and clean. Service 5/5: Pays great attention to their customers and brings a bowl of complimentary edamame to the table. Made sure my water glass never ran dry and had good timing to ask how I might be doing, or if I needed anything else. Food 4/5: great presentation and huuuge rolls. Unique flavors and the chef sauces they used were amazing!

    DO NOT COME TO KOBE THEY CHARGE YOU A 18 SERVICE CHARGE…read more Went to Kobe to try it for the first time. Lived around the area so wanted to try it at least once. It looked super empty and kinda gave me a bad feeling. The food was great we did all you can eat. Sushi was great. The service was absolute GARBAGE. I CAN SEE WHY PEOPLE DONT COME HERE. The server was rude and rushed us to get something to drink. After we finished a first round of sushi he came back saying "Are you getting more sushi or not" and I said "yes, just finishing up my edemame". He leaves and came back after a minute and said "ready?" And snatched our paper as we were trying to hand it to him. At the end of it all we didn't receive refills on our drinks. We got our check and were charged a 18% service charge. I was confused. I can understand if for a part of 6 or more but it was only 2 of us. I asked hime and said "we do it to everyone not just you" and I said "okay I don't care if you do it to everyone you didn't let me know" and said "It was on the menu" and I said "it's not written on the all you can eat menu" and he then pulls out the regular menu and shows me at the end of it written in small text. Let me remind you its my first time and I never got to see the menu. They didn't let me take it off and just talked to the rest of his coworkers giggling. I will never return here because of this. All of them are on there phones not paying attention to anyone. That 18% was not deserved.

The atmosphere here is very casual. It's definitely not a fancy Hibachi Steakhouse... more of a casual Asian restaurant. Service was hit or miss. Our chef was a funny guy but the waitresses were very busy in gossip and it was hard to flag them down. Everyone was pretty polite, though. The food was good but not great. The soup was bland, but the salad was typical delicious Hibachi salad. The entrees were good but the proteins were a bit overdone and the noodles were slick with grease. Everything could have used more seasoning as well. The ice cream they gave us was a tiny portion and freezer-burnt as well. Considering I don't live in the area, I don't think I'd be back. Next time when I'm visiting family, I will try our typical spot for reservations. Not a terrible place but not worth the price.

The green beans I believe came from next-door in fact, and there is a picture of it. As soon as you walk in, it's really cute and cozy and people are immediately greeting you and are quick to also sit you down, which is great. There are quite a few people already eating dinner as well as sitting at the bar area too. There were also lots of pick up takeout orders. This restaurant located in a strip mall, so there was lots of shared parking. Great to see a lot of of the Japanese chefs behind the sushi counter. We did not get dessert here as the portions were very fair and quite filling. A few of the main entrées come with vegetables, and one of our friends was very familiar that you could substitute the vegetables with some type of tempura vegetables, and I think this was a great decision because what ended up coming to the table was a mishmash of vegetable tempura, which was delicious. My friends also rave about the cocktails here. So some of us had cocktails and some of us had tea. The green tea here is a little light, but it's still very hot and tasty. We did not have any desserts. But would definitely come back here again.
