Excellent food and service. Â I especially liked the beef wrapped asparagus and the calamari. Â I didn't have sushi this trip so I can't rate their sushi but I did have the tempura shrimp and teriayki chicken and I would recommend both. Â I didn't care for the miso soup but I don't care for seaweed and it was heavy in the soup. Â I would mark them down for it just because I didn't like it. Â I didn't like that the bath room was only one stall and I had to wait in line to use it.
Review Source:While I am not much of a sushi fan I found what I tried to be very good. Â The server was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions very well. Â The drinks were outstanding. Â My wife hade the Cucumber Martini with Sake and it was refreshing and strong at the same time. Â I had the Mai Tai which was like drinking tasted like fruit punch but was good.
We had the crab ragoon sushi which was delicious.
My wife had more sushi for the main course and she said it was outstanding.
I had the New York strip for dinner and it was outstanding. Â Just enough fat to give it flavor and cooked to perfection. Â I had sake with my meal and they have a very nice selection to choose from on their menu.
The place was extremely busy so reservations are highly recommended. Â Be prepared when you order sushi as it will take some time to get during peak hours.
Is it a little pricey? Â Yes, but most sushi places are a little pricey. I will be going back again!
My husband and I have been going here for 10 years. We crave Bistro Wasabi and if we have a rough day, we need our "sushi therapy". Â It is by far the BEST sushi around! It is consistent, fresh, high quality sushi. Even their steak kabob is fantastic! (for those that like their beef). Some of my favorites: Spicy Chirashi, Maki Karai, Sashimi Carpaccio, and Maguro Salad. They also have a $10 corking fee if you want to bring in your own bottle of wine from home. If you love sushi and haven't tried Bistro Wasabi, don't wait any longer. It is heaven!
Review Source:Crab rangoon. Imitation crab was excellent couldn't  taste the difference. Also ordered a spider in philly. Wife loves the white wine, kali hart. House salad dressing was excellent.. we are going to dairy queen. Full but need a little fill.. .. love this place. 645pm rez, lots of empty tables, but filled up at 8pm...
Review Source:My friends eat at this restaurant at least twice a month. When ever I am visiting friends in the Chicago  Burbs (I live in Los Angeles area)  this is our Go-to sushi place.  I agree with others that the prices are very high here, but I feel the quality of the food is representative of their pricing. The drinks are always plentiful and expensive  too but never weak, so you really do get what you pay for. Service is definitely on the slow side, but really if you are in a rush you need to visit a fast food sushi place, and that is not a good idea. Sushi shouldn't be rushed!  Get there early for tables and to minimize your wait. Otherwise I have nothing but good things to say about Bistro Wasabi.
Review Source:I've been to Bistro Wasabi so many times that I have lost count, but thought I should share why it's probably my favorite restaurant.
The freshness to their sushi is astonishing. And it's consistently this way. As the word has spread throughout suburbia on how good their quality of food is, they've never wavered to accommodate volume or try to stretch a buck. Their portions are larger than most sushi I've had at other places and far better too.
Sure, a drawback for some is their location. A restaurant in a strip mall doesn't always sound all that appealing, but I assure you that once you step inside, you'll forget all about that. The bar is the first thing to convene on you. It's well-lit, stylish and is its own island; stationed in between the main dining area, the sushi bar itself, and a wonderfully Japanese-esque side wing where the warm blue lighting transports you somewhere Far East and far away from a suburban strip mall. Â If there's room, I like to conquer a stool up at the bar and declare war on some fish. The usual suspect running the show behind the bar is a very knowledgeable gentleman named Dean. Make friends with him and he will take very, very good care of you. He always has exceptional recommendations into their specials, wine...you name it.
I usually order off their sashimi and maki menu. Â For the novice, they have wonderful California, and Philly rolls. Also, their Dragon, Rainbow and (off the menu; you have to ask for it) Godzilla rolls are fantastic ways to try a variety of their food. One of these orders is perfectly proportioned for two people to share.
As I've become more adventurous in raw seafood, I really dig the sea urchin, flying fish roe, and eel nigiri. The sea urchin is so unsullied and buttery and rich, you begin to think there's an ocean in the back of this joint.
A couple of other suggestions to try would be the Pineapple roll (tempura shrimp, with pineapple, cucumber, cilantro, lime, avocado, and a spicy pico de gallo) and, if they have it, the Lobster maki (Asian spices, cucumber, roe). The portions are huge--good luck getting an entire one into your mouth on a single bite. But, suggestions don't even matter. Everything they put in front of you is wonderful and clean, and you will clean your plate. You'll leave full, but not like when you leave your Aunts house on Thanksgiving.
If you want to have a nice dinner date or a small gathering with friends, Bistro Wasabi is a perfect spot. The confines are cozy, the vibe is always upbeat and the food is divine.
Since we drive by this place every day we figured it was time to try it. Definitely make reservations, it gets crowded. We had a reservation for 8:15 and still had to wait, that's how busy it gets on a Friday night. We loved everything we tried. The shrimp tempura was really good. We tried the Lobster roll, Spicy Tuna, California, Cucumber veggie roll, and Bistro wasabi rolls. Â All were really good. However, the place was extremely loud! It was romantic and we had a great time but it's not easy to communicate at a normal volume. The waitress was very friendly and service was relatively quick. Â The ambiance is nice and they had upbeat music playing. It was kind of hard to believe we were in a small strip mall in Lake in the Hills. Â It was a little pricey though...all said and done a meal for 2 people was over $75 not including tip.
We will go back and try the Crab Rangoon and maybe nigiri!
The restaurant felt like I was back downtown Chicago. Which is a good thing. I love the city so any piece of the city in the burbs is awesome. The food was delicious, we ordered a few different rolls (don't even remember which ones) but all of them were yummy. The place was pretty packed for a Wednesday night also. Good place. Definitely down to go there again.
Review Source:Nice place to get sushi.
You will like the atmosphere.
The help can be especially stodgy though. Â I've eaten there at least ten times and I always enjoy it but think they could improve their demeanor to their customers which are paying a little to much to get that sort of service.
I would be careful with taking a first date here or someone that meant something to you and most likely not if I wanted them to have a "special" night.
My cousin though thought that it was some of the best sushi he had ever eaten.
I think  the food is little above mediocre but here service should come with a smile and as costly as sushi is definitely better service.
It doesn't have the classic feeling of a Japanese owned place where every time I have felt like they were "honored" to serve me.
Not open for lunch.
Hubs and I do not get all the hullaballoo about BW. After reading raves here we decided to try it. Granted we've eaten sushi all over the 'burbs and have our faves in Chgo, but thought... ok, we'll try it. For the $$ we spent, we would have rec'd double the rolls (size and qty) at JuRin, Swordfish or even Coast in Chgo. Â
As for taste everything - EVERYTHING - was over salted. We both walked out of there feeling like we were given a salt lick with our dinner. Never had that experience at any sushi place. Odd... anyway, the white fish sushi was very FISHY tasting, which we were a little put off by. The smoked salmon was good, however. We also had the Cancun, shrimp w/ pico di gallo and the Bistro Wasabi special (scallops, shrimp and crab chopped up and rolled) Â
Lastly, no online menu isn't a great thing. It's time to get a basic website, BW. My husband can do this for you - he's a web designer - even if it's just a front page w/ a PDF of the current menu. Basic stuff....
If you go, bring your money, your high blood pressure pills and enjoy.
I've been to Wasabi several times and never been disappointed. Â We are always seated right away and the service is very friendly. Â Appetizers we've had that were good here include the beef asparagus rolls which are cooked beef in teriyaki sauce stuffed with asparagus and the ceviche that others have mentioned. Â We also had a special called dynamite the other night and it was sooo good. It's a mixture of some thin noodles, lobster pieces, shrimp, crab, and scallops all mixed in a spicy cream sauce. The plate is served on fire (seriously) which adds to the effect. As far as the sushi goes, I love the dragon roll and Sapporo. Â If you like spicy sushi ask for the Sapporo extra hot or 911. It's to die for! One thing that is weird is the water is room temperature and no ice. But other than that, I love this place!
Review Source:Their Crab Rangoon is like no other! Do not leave Bistro Wasabi without trying this unusual treat! We started our meal with spicy Ceviche on fresh corn tortilla chips. The maki rolls were super fresh. Good thing we made reservations to watch the chefs work their magic at the bar cause it was packed by 7:30. Can't wait to go again!
They need me to photograph their interior, the photos posted don't do it justice...
Went here with my cousin and the rest of her bridesmaids for dinner.
Like everyone said, very modern looking interior. I wholeheartedly agree with Valerie B's review: the chopsticks were cheap. My younger cousin and I spent several minutes entertaining ourselves by picking at the splintered wood.
I was going to give one star for the food; however, I wanted to tack on one more for the martinis. They were served in some of the biggest martini glasses I've seen thus far and tasted great. I hate tasting the alcohol in mixed drinks, but these tasted like juice. I can't clearly recall the names so bear with me. I had the mongo mango one and all the girls liked mine the most. Another girl had some white cranberry (or was it raspberry?) one. I remember that one tasted a little sour, mmm. The only martini that was super strong was the sake one the maid of honor got. The martinis didn't touch me, but the bride was having fun after drinking two. I even downed mine fast. I suppose being in college has turned my liver into a champ. I wish I could've seen the bill to see how much the martinis are, but the maid of honor grabbed it before anyone could take a peek.
The waitress took so long to come back and get our food order. We got worried that she assumed all we wanted were martinis. The sushi was.. ehh. Not really memorable. It's just all your typical rolls and what is it again with this $4 for one piece of hamachi?! Is this just how sushi is done in Illinois? I wanted to order one because my theory is that you can get a real feel for the caliber of the restaurant's sushi by their quality of yellowtail. I ended up not being able to order it because our waitress took our orders and disappeared so fast that I didn't have the time to register that I didn't even order it. I'm glad that I decided against ordering nigiri in the end because  all the fish in the rolls tasted the same. It's a sad day when you can't discern salmon from tuna based on taste alone.
The girl that was the one who took us to this place kept ranting and raving about their spicy tuna roll. I cringed inside when she went ahead and ordered three rolls for our group of 5. Not really a fan since I found out that some restaurants will mash up the bad parts of tuna in order to make their spicy tuna. The bride did comment on how it had chunks of tuna instead of being the usual super fine fare. I couldn't taste the soft shell crab in the spider roll.
Lastly, some of their patrons suck. I know it's not the restaurant's fault so I didn't take that into account when rating the place.The fact that a table of OC housewife wannabes were glaring at us because we took three pictures is laughable. You're eating mediocre sushi at a restaurant located in a strip mall nowhere near Newport. Get over yourself.
Its kind of pricey for what you get but it is pretty much the only sushi place within 30 miles of Woodstock, so you don't really have a choice but to suck it up, slam it down and fork it out!! I went here while I was visiting from out of Arizona. I grew up around here and was pretty upset to see that its still behind on the times. This place was kind of further down the road than I had expected but it was in a cute little strip mall. There was ample parking and they did carry out very quickly.
It is very upscale interior wise and I would definitely recommend eating in just to bring that extra little something to your meal. It is a bit pricey for the quality of sushi but its going to be the best you can find around these neck of the woods!! The  sashimi was sliced to perfection though.
*If you are visiting from a city with great sushi, don't hold your breath!*
REVISED - I've gone here to many times to count. I was here last week and our server Erica was fantastic from start to finish. I originally wasn't a fan of their service but she changed my opinion.
Their presentation is good, their cuts of sashimi great, and their rolls are good. In regards to the decor love it - it's modern and clean-reminds me of Nobu Miami.
I know I saw on Randall Rd more towards the Algonquin Commons Mall a sign last year stating that Bistro Wasabi was coming to a new and larger location. That sign since has been taken down - I'm not going to assume why. I was looking forward to them upgrading to larger digs because their current location is cramped.
Bistro Wasabi is THE BEST! Â Sit at the sushi bar and enjoy! Â
For those that don't know, sushi is generally raw fish and seaweed is a component of many sushi rolls.
Getting steak at a sushi place is like eating fish at Fogo de Chao.
The fish is excellent. Â The quality is superior. Â The sushi chefs are true artisans. Â It is the total sushi experience. Â
I have never experienced having an automatic tip added to our check. Â We have always decided gratuity on our own terms at this place. Â
I enjoy this place tremendously but now live on the west coast and sadly, am having the most difficult time finding anything comparable.
I can't wait to visit Bistro Wasabi again, someday!
My theory is that there was some psycho tornado that must have transported this restaurant from some hip-happening Chicago corridor to this strip mall in the middle of nowhere. Seriously. It's that impressive.
To be really honest, it's not that impressive at first. You wonder how good it could possibly be since it's located in a strip mall. You walk inside, and it's absolutely mobbed, and you most likely will grumble about the wait. You try to get a drink at the bar, but the bar is surrounded by people, 3 to 4 deep, all trying their valiant best to get the attention of the overworked bartenders who are all churning out colorful drinks like there is no tomorrow. You take a look around you and realize that everyone is yuppie and this could easily be mistaken for a scene right out of River North save for that forlorn farm field right down the road.
Then you get seated, wait for some more, and then realize that everything that you have thought was just superfluous. Because no other sushi place even comes CLOSE to this one.
Make sure you try the asparagus beef roll, any of the tuna, the nigiri, and the tempura. If you have room, go for the Godzilla. But in the end, you honestly can't go wrong with any of the sushi. It's always fresh and decadent. And you're left wondering just how they get all of this fresh seafood.
I used to love this place and they had the best sushi around-bar none. Â The service is always really slow, so if you are going on a 1st date, it would be great to talk for 2-3 hours. Â Lately, the bistro has been slipping. Â The sushi does not melt like it used to, but they still have the best eel nigiri around. Â Solid location, but I would rather go to Kyoto in CL-better quality and service.
Review Source:I read the reviews on Bistro Wasabi and made a point to try it out.
It was "okay". The restaurant definitely has a unique atmosphere...especially for the LITH area.
I had the beef asparagus roll as an appetizer, it was pretty good.
I also tried their California rolls - pretty good.
My fiance had the NY Strip Steak - it was pretty good as well.
Miso soup came with the entree - that was very tasteful.
Overall,it was good food - but not the best I've ever had by any means.
Fun to experience a different environment for the suburban area.
This just might be my new favorite sushi place. I like to consider myself a sushi expert of sorts...I've been to pretty much all the noteable sushi restaurants in the city, and this place blows them all out of the water. I NEVER expected to find a place like this in the suburbs, with normal, professionally-dressed people of all ages actually enjoying sushi! If you live in the burbs you will understand what a rarity it is to find a suburbanite who likes sushi. Which is why I can only ever order takeout from here...no one will come with me!
Anyway, the rolls are a little pricey but the serving sizes are generous. The sashimi is fresh and delicious. Now I just need to find a suburban friend who will actually come and eat here with me...
I'm not a sushi eater. I had the Chicken Teriyaki, and for appetizers we had a teriyaki sampler-I loved the shrimp and the chicken was good too. We also had tempura, which was pretty good. My wife had sushi, which she said was great and my kids liked what they had (I don't remember their orders) but keep in mind, they would eat their body weight in rice if we let them.
I thought the decor was nice, but it was too dark. I can understand a little mood lighting, but this was like a night club. We got out at 8:30 PM and I had to squint for minute until my eyes adjusted to the light while the sun was just over the horizon.
I have recently become a sushi-freak. Since moving to Chicago I didn't think anything back home could compare to the places in the city. But Bistro Wasabi blew me away. The decor of the restaurant is very beautiful. The furnishings are simple and not distracting. I tried the beef-rolled asparagus and was shocked when it came out. It was essentially a thin piece of beef rolled around 8 stalks of asparagus. But oh was it WONDERFUL! The asparagus was tender and everything went so well together. I've also had their seared tuna as well as their shrimp tempura. Bother were excellent. Not too expensive...and totally worth the drive!!!
Review Source:I love sushi. Â Bistro Wasabi is the best I have ever had. Â You must order off the menu items. Â One of the other reviews mentioned the Godzilla roll. Â That is a great roll but they have several other fusion type rolls which are even more amazing. Â The "Crab Rangoon Roll" it is Alaskan crab meat, and some other type of crab I can't remember right now, with cream cheese, and rice obviously. Â But then they take it to a anew level. Â They tempura fry the whole roll before the slice it up. Â It comes out out and tastes better than any crab rangoon you have ever had. Â It is 8 pieces huge pieces and only costs $16.
My recommendation go with 3 friends and order no less than 8-10 rolls.
PS Sake rules, get expensive stuff and drink it cold. Â Hot sake is usually shit, and if you like it you are cheating yourself.
I went there hoping for great sushi and experience. Â I was severely disappointed.
Service was very slow, prices were high and the rolls were uninspired. Â There was not one roll on their menu (with the exception of their namesake roll) that I can't find on a menu at any other sushi place. Â As for the service, we waited 10 minutes before the waiter took our drink order and then it took him another 15 minutes to bring them - but he did not take our dinner order. Â We had to wait another 10 minutes for him to come and take our order. Â When we were done and he cleared our plates, it took him another 10 minutes to bring our check.
I have found better sushi in the area, at much better prices. Â I won't be back.
Yes, it is very good, and an oasis for sushi lovers stuck out in LITH. Â My only complaint is that it is so "hot" that the wait can be ridiculous and therefore some of the staff seems to suffer from Manhattan Syndrome. Â They have another location in Hoffman Estates on Algonquin Rd, which has much less of a crowd problem.
Review Source:When visiting my dad in the far burbs, I always want to stop at Bistro Wasabi. Â This restaurant was the location of my first sushi experience back when I was in high school, so it always holds a special place in my heart. Â
I have had some funky sushi in Chicago, and not in a good way. Â So, I'm always pleased when fish is fresh. Â I have to say that Bistro Wasabi has fish so fresh it would rival any of the high-end sushi establishments in Chicago.
One of my absolute favorite things at BW is the tempura calamari.  The calamari are "tempuraed" calamari steaks in a sweet sesame soy glaze.  They are stacked like logs and absolutely fantastic.  We also had edamame  and ceviche with corn and mango which was really flavorful and unique.  I've never had corn in ceviche before, but it really created a fresh, light flavor to the ceviche.
I had the special sushi which was shrimp, avocado, cream cheese with habanero masago and crunchy tempura flakes, and boy was it spicy. Â But it was so delicious and interesting. Â I had another maki which was tuna with avocado and pico de gallo. Â Delicious.
Some of our dining companions got "the boat" for 2. Â Which was 2 different maki rolls, a ton os sashimi, and a ton of nigiri. Â The boat is actually served in a boat (I've seen this other places, but nowhere is the boat as large as it is at BW. Â There was everything from octopus to tuna to shrimp to fluke. Â Everything was beautiful
Dinner was excellent and I wasn't disappointed with our meal. Â It was fantastic!
We would give this a 3.5 if we were able - but we have to pick either 3 or 4 - we picked 3.  The overall experience was very good but not exceptional.   (Keep in mind we *rarely* give 5s - so a 3.5 is good based  on how tough we rate - this is more than 'liked it'.)
Dinner for two, with one drink each and tip was $100, which, for the big picture visit we didn't find to be a great value. Â Having said that, I should note that portions are large - we ordered what seemed appropriate for 2 people, but could have done with half. Â
The Tempura Calamari appetizer was *great*. Â We had a variety plate of sushi and of sashemi, which were very similar and overall a little bland with several different items tasting the same. Â Oustanding however was the smoked eel. Â (Yum!)
There was a language issue, with our waitress (who was very nice) not being able to understand what we were asking. Â
Timing of the meal was a problem. Â We were still eating our appetizers when soup arrived - we felt rushed. Â Then, we had a long wait between the soup and the entree. Â It would have been better to have had each course more appropriately spread out. Â
Decor was well done - you never felt you were sitting in a room in a strip mall, though hubby and I had to switch seats due to very cold breeze from a/c at our table. Â
We will go back - but not for dinner. Â A better use of money is to go for drinks and few individual items at the sushi bar.
I cannot rave enough about Bistro. Â It is definitely a top notch sushi Bar, I almost think it doesn't belong in the burbs'. Â The Nigiri is fresh and delicious, I don't think I have had a roll I didn't like. Â Ask for Godzilla roll(its not on the menu), they will make it if they are not to busy. Â Sake selection is pretty good, and Dean knows what he's doing behind the bar! Â Wait staff is excellent; attentive and friendly. Â I thought twice about reviewing Bistro, I would rather keep it a secret because the crowds are getting big and gathering there all days of the week.
Review Source:For my first adventure in the sushi world, this place was fantastic! Â I think it's going to be hard for other places (yes, even city places) to live up to it. Â I was in a party of five. Â Three of us ate sushi, one had crab cakes and teriyake skewers and one, the non-fish eater had the steak. Â We ALL were able to enjoy our food and I was lucky enough to get a teeny tasting of the steak and crab cakes and they were great. Â
We had edamame and the beef asparagus rolls for appetizers and for someone who doesn't like asparagus, I don't know what they did to it to make it taste SO good. Â
But the sushi, that's what you really have to have at this place. Â Since I love roe, I had the salmon roe with the quail egg. Â I thought...what the heck! Â How often do I get the chance to try a raw quail egg... hehehe. Â It was good too! Â We shared 6 different kinds of rolls and there were only two I wasn't crazy about. Â The Godzilla was great until I got a taste of the wasabi. Â Eeeeek, I'd forgotten how much I DON'T like wasabi. Â So I just ate around it. Â And then there was a spicy one I wasn't crazy about, so I just ate the others, The California roll, one with eel, and others I can't remember. Â ALL great.
And to end the meal we had the mochi (?), ice-cream balls with bean paste. Â Yummy. Â
With 2 orders of saki around the table, the bill came to just uner $200....and for 5 people, that isn't bad. Â I know sushi can get real expensive, real quick, so I was pleased at the price. Â I'll definitely go back to Bistro Wasabi, and next time I'll sit at the sushi bar.
I've had the best sushi in NYC and LA (Nobu, Blue Ribbon, Sushi Nozawa, etc), but I'm gonna have to say when I go home to see my parents all the way out in bumblef#$% LITH, the cute little things always make sure we get dinner there because they know how much I love it. Â
The owners and staff are super polite to even friendly, the decor is pretty chic for a strip mall across from corn fields all the way out in LITH and the sushi....well...
The sushi is great! Â Fresh large cuts of fish (although they do tend to run out of certain kinds later on in the night) for your standard sushi/sashimi. Â I know it's dorky, but when I go with my parent's we'll order the sushi love boat (or whatever it's called) and it's plenty for the 3 of us and I'm very very piggish. Â
The chef also does a lot of creative appetizers, not typical of a Japanese restaurant (but they are all Korean so...) but more typical of a big city place serving a nuevo-Sushi-cuisine. Â Either way, the creative-nuevo apps are tasty, innovative, and definitely hearty...none of that amuse bouche small portions with foam and a dollop of caviar crap. Â
If ever stuck out here in the Boonies...this is the only legit place to grab dinner. Â Otherwise, it's Chili's for you!
This hidden gem is a lifesaver for those craving good sushi out in the burbs, but not the burbs close to Chicago. I've been to this restaurant four times now, and each time, I come away extremely satisfied. I usually order the makis and the negiris, and my friend who is extremely choosy as to the fish (only the best quality for her) says this restaurant is on a higher level than many of the fancy Japanese restaurants in Chicago.
The Salmon skin salad is delectable and all the rolls are great. This is definitely worth the driving time for those living in Chicago or Rockford.
When I was living in the suburbs, Bistro Wasabi was a livesaver. I crave sushi at all times, but Lake in the Hills/Algonquin is not the most ... let's say ... "chic" area. Hint: they put a Holiday Inn Express in front of our high school and everyone booked it for prom night. Anyway, the food is, as previously mentioned, surprisingly fresh and the rolls are huge! Unique: they have a ceviche appetizer that will DESTROY any ceviche you have every had anywhere ... it's so surprising to see it at a sushi place in the burbs. Only four stars instead of five because it's a bit pricey and so far from the city, but luckily it's quite close to the parental units so I can make the trip fairly often without feeling ridiculous for taking an hour long train ride for sushi. Dang, now I'm at stuck at work with a jones for sushi ... is there decent lunch sushi anywhere in the Loop? Anyone???
Review Source:this is my favorite sushi place in the entire world. Â i used to work there and believe me, a good portion of my paychecks went towards sushi. Â
the original bistro wasabi is tucked away in an unassuming strip mall in the sleepy town of lake in the hills. Â unfortunately, its easy to pass by without knowing its even there. Â however, once inside the doors, you quickly forget that you're in the far northwest 'burbs. Â the interior is sleek, modern and minimalist. Â techno is usually pumping through the speakers and there is a busy and upbeat vibe that makes you feel like you're in the heart of the city.
everything on their menu is incredibly delicious...from the sushi to the salads to the entrees, you simply can't go wrong with any of the selections. Â i'm an admitted sashimi snob. Â if its not super-fresh i won't eat it. Â over the years, bistro has spoiled me to the point where i can't eat sashimi in most other restaurants. Â the only sashimi i've had that was as fresh as bistros was on the west coast. Â in my opinion, few (if any) restuarants in the midwest can touch the quality and flavor of the fish that bistro serves. Â my all-time favorites are the salmon and yellowtail. Â i usually need a moment of quiet while i'm eating them. Â heh.
for non-sushi people, there are plenty of great dishes to choose from. Â i highly recommend the beef asparagus roll (an appetizer, but big enough for a regular entree) and either the grilled salmon or hibachi steak with vegetables. Â jeffrey's special salad is also delicious, but there are pieces of raw fish in it.
last but not least, dean the bartender rocks. Â his martinis are the stuff that dreams are made of. Â he's there every night except tuesday...be sure to stop by the bar for a pre-dinner cocktail.
weekends can be busy, so its a good idea to call ahead for reservations. Â overall, its definitely worth the drive, but if you can't make it to lake in the hills, check out bistro 2 at 1758 w. algonquin rd. in hoffman estates. Â same menu, similar strip mall, not as far.
