Ordered on a rainy night via DoorDash with moderate expectations and a serious ramen craving. Yoshi…read moreRamen did not just meet the moment, it completely exceeded it. First, a standing ovation for the packaging. The broth and noodles arrived completely separate, clearly labeled, and perfectly intact. No soggy noodles, no sad collapsed toppings, no delivery regret. Someone in that kitchen actually thought about how this food travels and it shows. More restaurants take note please. The Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen itself was rich, creamy, deeply warming, and some of the best broth I have had anywhere. I genuinely did not expect to find this level of ramen quality outside of the city. And yet here we are, in the suburbs, slurping our way through a bowl that could hold its own against any ramen shop Chicago has to offer. The pork was beautifully charred and flavorful. The gyoza was excellent. But the Berkshire pork belly buns were the true standout of the night. Fatty, deeply seasoned, pure indulgent decadence in each bite. The kind of thing you think about the next day. Yoshi Ramen will now be our permanent go to ramen spot out here in the burbs and honestly that is a little dangerous given how close it is to home. Our wallets already know.

Now let's talk about the food... WOW. Everything we ordered was absolutely jam-packed with flavor. Like, next-level good. I fully walked in thinking I'd stay on track with my health journey and somehow... blacked out and just ate zero regrets though because it was THAT worth it. And service was great! They got the kids engaged in the convo and ordering off the menu too. Seriously . . .every bite hit -- rich broths, perfectly cooked noodles, and just overall comforting, crave-worthy food. Safe to say we'll definitely be back (maybe next time with a little more self-control... maybe lol).

I ordered the Naperville Roll and the Hangry Roll, and both were absolutely delicious. Each bite was perfectly balanced, and you can really tell they take pride in their ingredients and presentation. The atmosphere was welcoming and the service was friendly and efficient, which made the whole experience even better. The dinner was candle lit and balanced the mood in an energetic atmosphere. If you are looking for great sushi in Naperville, IKKAI is definitely worth a visit. I will absolutely be coming back to try more from their menu.

Our server, Katie, was amazing. She was attentive, funny, and gave great recommendations on both food and drinks. The menu has a wide variety of options, so her guidance definitely helped. We ordered hibachi, which was delicious and a fun experience. The chef put on a great show and even gave us cues for slow motion videos, which made it extra memorable. A few people in our group ordered sushi and said it was really good as well. I had the shrimp dinner and added calamari on the side. The shrimp portion was generous, and everything tasted great. My only complaint is the noodles. They were very thin, similar to Pad Thai noodles, and I personally prefer thicker hibachi noodles. The soup was one of the best I've tasted. The ambiance was cute and spacious, with a cool fish tank and the drinks were a highlight. I had a coconut sake drink that was so good I'd honestly go back just for that. Overall, great food, fun atmosphere, and excellent service. I would definitely return.

Also upgrading the fried rice here is ALWAYS the move - trust me on this one! Since our last visit, they've added noodles to every dish as well! So you get a delicious soup, scrumptious salad, noodles, veggies, fried rice, and proteins of your choice This time we also tried their crispy spicy tuna roll - it was phenomenal! Can't wait to come back to try more of their sushi rolls next time Shinto's is THE place to be!

LOOOOOOOVVVEE! I was here for friday dinner and the place was poppin. Be sure to make a reservation…read moreto avoid a long wait time. Kiku has a sushi lounge and hibachi tables. My group chose to sit in the sushi lounge since none of us planned to order hibachi. I'd say this place is moderate size when compared to the franchise Benihana. Service throughout was pretty good, at times it was slower. However, I noticed Lisa, our server, was assisting the sushi lounge and hibachi tables. She was busy busy, so I understood why things look a little bit longer. I tried 3 different rolls - Paradise roll, Butterfly roll, and the Spider roll. All are very different from each other, which I planned on purpose. Very tasty and the portion is generous with a fair price. I had plenty of left overs which my husband was grateful for haha. I really like this place and am planning to come back to try their hibachi items too.

Only carry a few soda choices and those are in 20 Oz bottles. The waiting area smelled weird and pretty big hole in a couch where you wait. Noticed lots of air purifiers scattered thru the business . The waitstaff was prompt but they were just standing around waiting for something to do. Way to many chairs at the hibachi tables. Had to move quite a few to be comfortable. Very light traffic for a Thursday night. 2 tables had customers at them. We had 4 and the other table had 4 at it. No mind you the food is not cheap. They dont tell you what the price on say lobster or scallops just says mkp. They charge for everything, If you want garlic breading or golden sauce it not included. They gave us maybe 3 tablespoons of garlic breading.

There are plenty of available options for sushi and they are all available on the AYCE menu along with appetizers, soup or salads. The quality of the sushi is fantastic and fresh.

Everything was fresh, beautifully presented and not overloaded with rice. The service was very attentive and the wait to put new orders in filled very quickly.

It was plenty of food, topped off with smores for dessert. The meat was fresh. Lots of meat, good beef, some pork, and a few shrimp. The salads were good... might be better if we'd asked for the salad dressing on the side. The sukiyaki was surprising in that it was more like fried rice. Spicy chiggae soup was yummy, nice and spicy. So much food. Super yummy. Park in the structure around the corner on Chicago Ave.

Came here in a Monday for lunch. We had a reservation for 230. We arrive at 215 and there is no one…read moreat the host station. Ahead of us is a couple and another guy waiting. After 10 minutes the host comes and tells the couple they have tables but they aren't cleaned yet and he's waiting. Mind you the restaurant isn't packed, but there are a few tables dining. I'm guessing they were understaffed. Anyhow, after another 10 minutes the guy ahead of us gets seated. Nothing was said to us. 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. The lack of communication from the host was off putting. We were hungry and my son really wanted bbq. I would have gone to SGD, but they are closed on Mondays. Anyhow, we wait around a good 10 mins before a server comes to take a drink order. Again, they weren't completely packed, I counted 3 servers and a host. We order ribeye, chicken, filet, kalbi and the hirami in a pot for our meats. We also got corn, spinach, a salad and the fried rice and an order of white rice. 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.
