There has been a big increase in sushi competition in Naperville, with most places discounting their sushi to help drive business. Sushi House is different. It is a bit more expensive, but the flavors and fresh taste that pop from each roll really makes their sushi stand out. We can really taste a big difference every time we come in. Nice atmosphere but nothing fancy, and good, friendly service. The sushi is easily among the very best in town and definitely worth checking out.

5. KiKu Japanese Steakhouse

Saturday night with my daughter's family at Kiku Japanese Steakhouse. We have eaten at several Japanese Steakhouse restaurants in the Western Suburbs. Kiku's is not the very best I have experienced, but it is a close second. The chef show was what you would expect and it was well executed. The food was very good with some interesting twists. I thought quantities were not as huge as some other restaurants. Their vegetable rice was interesting, but not my favorite. The other courses were well cooked and tasty. I had hibachi steak and scallops. I liked their vegetable course, the ginger salad was one of the best I have had and the miso soup was excellent. All in all an enjoyable evening.

Our family has dined at Wild Tuna many times. Their Tuna Tower is excellent! The chef, Gene, is very innovative and creative. Believe it or not, they have pork belly tacos on the menu that are the best tacos I have ever enjoyed. Unagi and all their sushi is the best ever. Super service, always family members on duty to guarantee excellent service.This is a repeat review. We have been many more times, and my original review is spot on. Wild Tuna is excellent!!

I don't like sushi. I've never tried it but the thought of raw fish just doesn't do a thing for me....however....some friends convinced me to try this place with them anyway, saying they have other Asian dishes than sushi so I went. I'm glad I did! First, about the place. It's very bright and not huge and there's not a lot of space for people to wait for a table but they do have chairs so you can sit if you're fast enough and manage to grab one. It's also pretty noisy but it's not horrible. Everything is clean and inviting and that rotary thing is really interesting as is the pricing of plates. It was very busy when we arrived so we had to wait like 45 minutes to be seated near the rotary (it's optional seating) but it wasn't that bad. Now about the food.....If it's your first time at this place, it's helpful to try and go with someone who has so they can explain how it works. If you want to get sushi, it's all on the rotary which circles around past you if you choose a table on the rotary. The plates are color coded with different prices per color. They also have little signs on the rotary that explains what each dish is. If you see some sushi that you think you'd like, you open your little window and retrieve it from the belt on the rotary. It's that simple. Now the menu.....You can also order off the extensive menu that includes a multitude of dishes other than sushi....appetizers, main dishes of different types, fried rice, etc. I ended up getting the shrimp on a skewer, the fried rice to which I added beef and the vegetable tempura with shrimp. The skewered shrimp was very good...a little over done and kind of tough but good flavor. The fried rice was exceptional but DO NOT...UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES...ADD THE BEEF. The beef was cut too big (you don't get knives at this place) and it was so tough, I could hardly eat it. That being said, the rice itself was amazing...moist and flavorful...and it had corn in it which I had never seen before in fried rice but it was good. The vegetable tempura was really good. The shrimp was battered and fried just right. It also had battered and fried sweet potato slices, two huge mushrooms and some strips of eggplant. It was very good as well. Now for the big surprise....The menu said they had creme brule there which I thought was a big unusual for a place with Asian cuisine and I really wanted to try it. I was NOT prepared for the best creme brule I have ever had. It was very creamy without being runny and the crust on the top was perfect. There was a slice of strawberry on top which was the perfect addition to this great dessert and instead of one of those little ramekins that they have at other places, this was in a sizeable dish and you got quite a bit. I highly recommend it.So if you aren't really into sushi but your friends want to go here, go with them. You'll like it anyway. :)

Arrived without reservations at 4:45pm. The entire sushi side was reserved. We were sitted at a high table near the bar. We were initially concerned about being forgotten by the staff because of our location but we were promptly served. The up -to-half prices on selected rolls and happy hour specials is a fantastic deal.

We wanted to get out of town for a day trip and Naperville is always a great place to take a drive! We stumbled upon this jewel! Service was fantastic. The server was very knowledgeable and helpful. Drink selection was impressive! And of course the Sushi was amazing! I love that they even had vegetarian and vegan rolls! We will be back!
