Ok I'm back to talk about my favorite sushi restaurant. They are all in the suburbs because, well I live in the 'burbs. These are my opinions that are based on my experiences at each restaurant.
So let's go restaurant hopping...
Sushi Inn -Lombard-
A small family run place. Overall prettty good but the pieces and rolls are a little smallish. There are a few private rooms that are nice for a special occasion.
Nagano -Lombard-
Another small family run place but the price per piece is better. We go here fairly regularly so they kind of know us. Service is not outstanding but good and overall quality is quite good. My wife said I had to mention the Rainbow Roll. It's her favorite roll. I have to mention the time we ordered the Sweet Ebi (cooked shrimp). After the food was brought to the table the owner an older gentleman came to us carrying a small beautifully decorated plate with the shrimp heads that had been deep fried. I still am not sure but I felt it was an honor to have been offered them in this manner. Of course, we ate them.
Bistro Nami Sushi -Clarendon Hills-
Very nice atmosphere and price around average for quality sushi. The presentations are quite artistic and the service is attentive. Bothy sushi and Shashimi are very good.
Sushi House -Wheaton-
In a word overpriced and yuppyish (OK 2 words) Average at best. Nothing to make me go back again.
Sushi Nest -Elmhurst-
This is our favorite special occasion sushi restaurant. Excellent quality sushi and shashimi. Outstanding service . Careful, and artistic presentations. This is the only place where I will order the seaweed salad it is excellent. It is the little touches here that make the difference. The atmosphere is elegant without being pretentious. It is modern Japanese without leaving behind the traditional. In my opinion, it is the best sushi in the western burbs.
Kona Grill -Oakbrook-
While not a strictly a sushi house I've included it for the Hamachi Carpaccio. Thin slices of yellowtail topped with a slice of Jalapeno and a single cilantro leaf served in a ponzu sauce. It is a little bit of tastebud heaven here on earth. It is worth a trip just for it. My first post gives a full review of Kona Grill.
So what do you think? Did I miss your favorites? Do you disagree with my tastes? Let me know maybe we can exchange ideas and I'll find a new favorite sushi restaurant.
