    Dry ass hell

    Terrible food chicken dry and shrimp was tough. Customer service is bad as well. Two fake managers that don't speak good English

    Mulan C.

    No lie, this might be the best hibachi restaurant I've been to in the Chicago-land area! Ambiance: 4.5/5 There are about 10 hibachi tables and some regular tables. It is big and spacious inside. The only tiny thing is the lights can be a bit much cus they are directly overhead. However, it is nice to be able to see everything clearly haha. Service: 5/5 Everyone is welcoming, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Would like to shoutout our server (Mia), manager (Irving), and chef (Elver), who all did an amazing job taking care of us! We had such a fun time. Food: 5/5 They have the best hibachi fried rice! The grains were supple and perfectly seasoned. Everything was fresh and delicious. The golden sauce added some great artery-blocking goodness too if you're into that hahah. You can ask your chef to under-salt your food also. I tried their virgin piña colada and it was so refreshing. Overall, for the price, quantity, and quality of everything, I can definitely see our whole group coming back for more in the future!

    Filet Mignon Hibachi

    Went here on a Thursday with 2 friends. Newly opened. Use to be a cheddars. Set at the hibachi grill. Enjoy the show! The salad and dressing was great! The soup was well seasoned but a bit salty imo. The rice, noodles, veggies, and filet mignon with teriyaki sauce was really tasty. Large portions, comparable prices. Good service, good lighting, clean. And they had someone come by and take our pictures. Gave us a nice frame for $20 bucks. So if your looking to take a group out, this might be a fun place to go.

    Salt and Pepper Shrimp
    B G.

    I was in the area and decided to stop by and try out this new place. I placed the order online and it was ready at the time they said it would be. I ordered the salt and pepper shrimp. I always order salt and pepper shrimp whenever I see it on the menu somewhere because there are not too many places that sell it. I felt that this salt pepper shrimp had way too much breading on it. The shrimp were a very good size, but just too much breading for my taste. I also ordered the steak hibachi and that was very good .

    Theresa was sweet and attentive and Jimmy cooked a fantastic meal for a large crowd! Worth the extra time to get here and the money. Spacious and clean with a great vibe. Definitely coming back!

    Golden shrimp

    Went to the Zuka Bolingbrook location with my family today. The service and food were excellent! Would recommend to anyone who hasn't tried Hibachi yet.

    Mongolian beef

    I must say before you see the review, standing outside of this place smells amazing!! Like top notch Chinese food!! So far i love the fresh hot steamed edamane we got after sitting down. Drinks are great, chocolate martini (not the best one I've had but it was good and i would get again), midori iced tea (so good a fruity long island) Malibu lover was good too. My daughter got a blue Hawaii which was good not for me though. We order one appetizer shrimp toast, only dish for 4 people everything else was 3 pieces or 4 pieces (we want at least 2 pieces of an appetizer when we go out as a family). My husband got Crispy Kani salad omg it is amazing. Shrimp toast was so good especially dipped in sweet chili sauce. My husband got Mongolian beef and I just want to say that is the best I have ever had and I have had amazing Mongolian beef before and that just took first place in the best I've ever had. Sushi, was good spicy tuna, California roll, spicy crunchy tuna roll and dragon roll, Sapporo roll and spicy dragon roll. We are full and we are are coming back!!

    See all

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!

MUST order- anything Golden, Sushi, Gyoza and Teriyaki sauce on the side. What we ordered: Gyoza - delish would order again. Ponzu sauce was very flavorful and bright Boston roll- subbed soy paper. Fresh. Didn't look at tightly made as I am used to but maybe due to the wrapped. Very good. Spicy mayo on side was good! Hibachi Chicken and Shrimp combo- decent. A lot of food. Chicken a bit dry, shrimp good. A decent plate of food. My friend who is not the biggest fan of this type of cuisine liked it (win!) Golden sauce was delicious- got that on the side. Next time will order it on the shrimp and add to the fried rice. Chicken fried rice- lacking a little flavor. Also, I'm not a fan of corn in my fried rice. That's just a preference. Soup - a bit bland. Needed soy sauce Salad- ok. Teriyaki sauce- delish. Made everything better. Not too sweet. Kind of tasted like there was a little cinnamon in it. All in all- decent hibachi. Again, not my fave. Experience- The host was very inviting. Smiled and greeted us warmly. Our table wasn't ready just yet due to a mistake I made making the reservation. (Accidentally chose hibachi instead of regular table.) They apologized about that and said our table would be ready soon and said we can have a seat at the bar to have a drink while we waited. The owner pulled out a chair for my friend. Very nice touch. Drinks were decent. My friend liked hers more than I did mine. (Mine was too sweet but I am very picky). We paid at the bar and were escorted to our table by the owner. He was everywhere and that was awesome to see: love it when it's obvious someone cares about the food, service and ambiance they provide! Our server was amazing! So friendly, sweet, efficient, and always available. She repeated the order back and made sure I had all of my sauces (sauce queen for sure). Food was good and it came out very quickly- not my favorite hibachi place. What took it over the top was the warm and friendly service we received!

    (Kari's Rating 6.5/10)…read more Came on Valentine's Day and had a 7:45pm reservation. They're 45 behind schedule and just seating their 7pms. I know it's not the hostess' fault but absolutely terrible moods starting. They definitely should've called people and let people know that they are an hour behind because then it would give people the opportunity who drove 45 minutes like us the opportunity to cancel. I can't even rate the food because we didn't get it. We finally got seated around 8:30 and the food was really good. The chef was impressive and the servers were very attentive. We ended up getting out of here about 10 o'clock so if we had plans after our reservation initially at 7:45, we probably wouldn't have made them, but thankfully we didn't have anything after and it was a fun experience. We probably won't come back to this location as we live in the city, but the quality of the quantity of the food was plenty. The chef was relatively attentive and very skillful. It was overall a good meal.

The entire restaurant is running so behind and everyone is very frustrated. This is horrific customer service and disgustingly disappointing. Also, in looking at open table right now, there are still 6:30pm reservations for tonight. I am writing this at 6:23pm. Also, at 6:30, a group of our exact same size was seated, despite that their reservation was for 6pm and ours was for 5:45pm. The significant backup of patrons waiting for their very delayed reservations is also a fire hazard, surely putting the restaurant above capacity and without doubt completely blocking egress. This management is horrible. It needs a significant overhaul. Shame on the management of this godforsaken place. Would give zero stars if I could. I may be more inclined to give this place some grace, if not for my brother, who was also in our party, confirming that he and his wife had this same reservation/seating significant delay when just the two of them came in to this same establishment a couple of months ago. At that point, it's a habit/pattern, not a mistake.
