I'm not a fan of Sushi or Japanese food in general. My wife is, though. They have a big enough menu that I can always find something, and you can always fall back on the teriyaki chicken. The staff is attentive, friendly, welcoming... We've only been there a few times, but it always seems like there are regulars that speak with the staff as if they're long time friends, which make for a very comforting and warm environment.
Some of the menu items can be a little pricey in my opinion, so we wouldn't eat here regularly, but once in a while it's good.
No Natto (never available as not enough customer demand). Nice waitresses, good, friendly and prompt service (not like in other reviews, but it was quiet when I was there), non-Japanese chef and personnel. At least they had nice and fresh Uni. Typical American style nigiri sushi with too much rice and very little or no wasabi. Did not try the monster rolls, but if you like them, they have them. American taste and popularity of sushi is killing good sushi slowly.
Review Source:I'm kind of bummed when I read the negative reviews of this place. My fiancé and I are regulars here and we love Sushi House. I don't think people understand that you have to go in to this place expecting it to be slightly slower service than the other restaurants in the area. That's fine and I can completely understand that people don't like slow service.
My suggestion is to go to this restaurant expecting it to be a more relaxing dinner (expect 1-2 hrs sometime) and give yourself some adequate time. However, the wait staff usually keeps our drinks refilled and checks in often. So I never complain. They aren't over bearing and give us a chance to chat without being in our faces.
It might not the BEST sushi in Chicagoland to many people (again, completely understand), but to each their own and we consider Sushi House to be damn good. It is our go-to place for sushi really. They take their time making it to ensure it's quality. The guys behind the sushi bar are charming and always greet you when you sit up there.
Slight side note: We went to RA sushi for the first time a couple weeks go just to try it and honestly, that place did not impress me (pieces of sushi way too big and kind of made me nauseous...almost thought I had lost my love of sushi after that). So we went to Sushi House to redeem ourselves and we go to few other places now (moshi moshi being the other great choice).
The portions at sushi house are perfect and they have a great selection. They cut their sushi perfectly. Also, you can get a lot of different vegetarian options and non-sushi items. Their bento boxes are awesome. I would recommend the crunchy roll and fire roll..very good flavor. The prices are very fair and reasonable. You can definitely get a fair amount of drinks and food for under $90 (2 people).
My criticism of this place is I wish they had a bit larger drink menu to accommodate more cocktail lovers and more wine options. But hey, what they have is just fine. I usually just go with a simple sauvignon blanc anyway and my fiancé loves their sake flights.
The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. If you want to see a movie after, it's right next to the studio movie grill place. Can't beat the location if you live in the North Naperville/Wheaton area. Parking spaces are always plentiful.
I can understand everyone else's criticisms but we go here a couple times a month and have never had a bad experience. I highly recommend it for a nice, relaxing, simple dinner.
terrible. Â This place is VERY American....not even sure why it's named "Sushi house". Â The name implies that sushi is a good item to get here. Â not the case! Â First of all, when you walk in, you'll be ignored, then, after asking for assistance, you'll be handed THREE menu's (where no items overlap). Â Not a 3 page menu....3 literal separate menus. Â Once you take way too much time to figure out what each one offers, they'll ask YOU to write your order down! Â (not just if you're getting sushi rolls - if you're getting anything at all). Â If you do NOT order chicken teriyaki they'll be completely thrown off. Â If you ask about a certain fish they may or may not have that day (extremely standard in most sushi establishments) they'll give you push-back. Â And if you have any special requests or modifications, God help you!! Â (because nobody here will!). Â Finally, you place the order, wait (i did take-out, so I can't really speak to the typical wait-time), and get your food. Â You might think it's a mirage given all you've gone through up to this point, but you confirm it is indeed reality....you dive in.....turns out they can't even get the RICE right on sushi rolls!! Â It was extremely sticky......more so than it should be....actually a LOT more so than it should be. Â Done. Â You can only give a place so many chances! Â Perhaps if they changed their name to "Chicken Teriyaki" it would be more fitting....I wouldn't know how the ACTUAL chicken teriyaki is....I got sushi.
Review Source:I feel bad that I haven't updated my review since waitress Liz (who promptly disappeared from the server lineup) set me off on a 1 star rant. Â So here we go.
Sushi House is our go-to for sushi in the suburbs. Â Jem is wonderful, along with the rest of the staff. Â We probably eat at SH every other week and we're always greeted by name and treated like royalty. Â We order basically the same stuff every time: shumai, negi hamachi, maguro negiri, unagi... etc etc. Â I guess we're just boring and don't need loads of variety, but this menu suits us fine.
The restaurant has loads of parking, and the strip mall where it's located is quite lovely after all the recent renovations and landscaping efforts. Â SH itself is tastefully decorated compared to most strip mall sushi places (e.g., not covered in Christmas lights and Valentine's Day decorations). Â
My sole complaint, and a brief review of fellow yelpers says I'm not alone, is the wait time. Â It takes FOREVER to get your sushi here. Â We've learned to order shumai and edamame immediately upon arrival so we have something to snack on for the hour it will take to receive our sushi. Â We also try to avoid rush times (weekend nights) but the wait still ends up around 45 minutes. Â Carry out orders are a large part of the problem since the three sushi chefs spend at least half of their time on weekend nights frantically preparing carry out orders along with the dine-in business. Â
So, you've been warned. Â The service will be slow. Â But the sushi is good quality and the service is excellent. Â Drive to Naperville for higher prices and less personalized service, or pop over to SH? Â SH wins every time.
All around Sushi House is a decent place. Â There's nothing here that's going to blow your mind, but it's not bad either. Â I got a spicy tuna and a spicy himachi roll for lunch and neither were actually spicy (wasabi paste FTW!), but both were pretty good. Â I wish they had a little more *something*, but they weren't too mushy or dry, weren't too gingery, and there wasn't a bunch of added crap either. Â Once again, I call this the "good in a pinch" type sushi joint. Â It will satisfy your cravings, but you won't rave about it. Â Sometimes, that's good enough.
Review Source:I went with a colleague for lunch. Â I ordered one of the lunch specials that pairs a teriyaki dish (I chose chicken) with a California roll. Â Cost = $9.95. Â The lunch came with Miso soup. Â The chicken teriyaki was good although the portion was small. Â I was disappointed in the California roll and found it lacking in flavor. Â All in all, I left the restaurant still a bit hungry.
Service was good and the server gladly refilled my water and soda.
The menu isn't like typical sushi menus- you won't find california rolls or philidelphia rolls, but they will make it for you. Sushi House has a good handful of house rolls, and they make all of their own sauces. The best was the Fire Roll. I've been to a lot of Sushi places but I have never had a roll that was spicy like this one. It was delicious! Tender fish on the inside and very lightly battered and crunchy on the outside. We later found that this is their most popular roll, and I can see why. I only give 3 stars overall though because service was really poor. We waited a long time for drink refills and it took at least 15 minutes just to place our order.
Review Source:I love Sushi House. They have the best sushi around and the sushi chef will makes us the Diet Roll that was on the menu years ago but was taken off. We like it so much and he makes it every time for us. Love the soba and udon noodle soup. Very reasonable prices compared to many other Japanese restaurants in the area. Now they offer brown rice and black rice for sushi and rice sides. Hard to find an Asian place that have these healthy rice alternatives. Â We go every chance we get.
Review Source:Ok, so my girl friend and I went here for our anniversary, we have tried other sushi places in the surrounding areas so we thought we would try this for the heck of it.
Anyway, the food was ok, we had the Gyoza (pot stickers) the dipping sauce was a pretty standard ponzu sauce, but the Gyoza skins were hard, like they had been in the fryer too long, the prices were a bit high for the amount of food you got, the rolls were below average.
The service was however better than some of my fellow yelpers have posted. Our server was young and slightly inexperienced bt she made up for that with her friendly attitude which is sometimes more important than speed or experience. My last thought my gf and I told them it was our anniversary and we got a free scoop of green tea ice cream, which I had not had in quite a while
I'm a Sushi addict, I go cold turkey without it, so I checked this place out. First, the place is small as what I expected but very intimate The bar looks very lively with 3 chefs busy rolling sushi and entertaining. Well, I wasn't so hungry so I ordered a Sashimi plate which what I wanted, fresh slices of fish. The presentation is phenominal, of course... My wife got the Bento box which she shared some for me. The beef teriyaki was superb, very tender and the fatty flavor stood out, rolls of sushi is good too, nice crispy vegetable tempura plus shrimp tempura. The salad I ordered is so fresh too and the ginger dressing is just perfect. Miso soup taste like made from scratch, mild but flavorful. THE FOOD IS GREAT !!! But here's the Dark Side of the Moon... That's why I only gave 2 stars.
THE SERVICE IS SUPER SLOWWWWWW,... Check other yelpers review, same problem... VERY SLOWWW, it took almost an hour for our few order to be served. On top of that when we asked for our check, it took another 15 minutes, their reason, the charge machine broke, Whatever.... I wont come back to this branch again ... I would probably go to the one in Naperville just because of the food quality.
The Tako balls were good. Â The lamb chop appetizers were so so as the meat was a bit tough. Â The dan dan noodles though were probably below average. Â Won't be ordering that again. Â Sushi rolls were decent. If i go back, it'd be out of convenience more than anything else.
Service was good though and the decor was nice.
Although a little far from our place in Naperville, this location was worth the drive. Not only was the sushi at the same quality that we've come to know at the Naperville location, there were other items on the menu that aren't served at other locations. One in particular were the oysters, which were so delicious that we ended up finishing the restaurants supply for that night.
Service was good, prices on par for sushi, and atmosphere was clean.
I called in a custom order order to pick up. The woman over the phone said it would be ready in 40-45 minutes.
I arrived and it was ready for me to take out immediately. They had my order made perfectly.
The staff was curteous. The restaurant was clean. I was out in less than 5 minutes.
All and all, a great experience.
I'll never return. Â Had lunch there yesterday, and the service is so slow! Â I didn't find the interior very appealing, and it was extremely cold. Â Upon ordering our food, I definitely thought the portions would be larger considering their prices. Â At other restaurants, I receive 2 pieces of sushi for the price listed, and Sushi House only serves one. Â The roll I ordered was also bland, as if I had ordered it from a grocery store. Â I was really hoping to like this place, as it's extremely close to me, but I definitely will not return.
Review Source:This place looks cool. The lunch specials are ok. But there's better sushi very nearby. Everything is super clean and the staff was friendly enough. One important thing to mention is that this place is much much much much too slow to do lunch at if you're trying to stick to an hour.
Not much else to say about this place.
If you want the best and freshest tasting Sushi in the western suburbs. Â The staff is outstanding, they are very attentive and knowledgeable. Â Their Tampico Tuna rolls are the best, other must tries are the Red Dragon Roll, Volcano Roll and Spider Roll. Â Sushi chefs can also make special orders upon request.
We drive 30 minutes to dine at Sushi House. Â Love the Sushi chefs as well as the staff. Â You will never be disappointed when you dine at Sushi House. Â Lunch menu is same as dinner just smaller..lunch menu has great pricing.
This sushi house makes me very happy.
Let me start by saying I am relatively picky about raw fish. Â Who wouldn't be?! Â I have been to too many of those little fast food sushi places where every single sushi is one of those delightful nuggets of overly sweet rice with a strip of fake crab shoved inside for good measure. Â May I add that this fake crab is a) clearly not crab, b) made of whitefish, corn syrup, and red food coloring, and c) vile. Â So, yeah, looking for something that's not this.
The Sushi House in Wheaton is small, so I wouldn't go there on a Saturday or Friday night because it gets crowded and the wait is long. Â That's the price you pay for good sushi; they make it there for you...it's not riding along on a demented little train, around and around for hours till someone eats it. Â
There are three little private "rooms" with sunken tables and carpeted floor "benches." Â You politely take off your shoes to go in there. Â Families with shrieking children are oft best contained in there. Â Wahoo...sliding closing doors! Â You can also sit at a table or at the sushi bar.
Service is fast (considering there are three sushi chefs and they're making custom sushi for everyone in the restaurant...this isn't fast food). Â Servers are courteous and friendly.
Were you to require my menu suggestions, I would offer the following tidbits of deliciousness:
Start with miso soup. Â It's awesome and very light.
Have a seaweed salad next.  It contains three types of seaweed, cucumbers and something crunchy I can't identify.  It's a plant though.  All comes topped in a lemon  dressing.  Be brave.  Eat seaweed.
Next, if you want a little of everything, order the Sushi deluxe. Â It comes with various rolls and regular sushi. Â
I usually get rolls instead. Â The ones my friends and I love include the Crunchy Roll (shrimp and crunchies), Red Dragon Roll (avocado-wrapped roll with salmon or tuna in the middle), Fire Roll (spicy, no kidding, with yellowtail, scallions, and red spicy sauce, tempurah fried), and Volcano Roll (salmon and mayonnaise, roll baked in oven).
For dessert, I highly recommend the mochi ice cream. Â They are little ice cream balls about the size of a golf ball. Â The outside is a very tender and delicious pulverized glutinous rice layer. Â Sounds so icky when I put it that way, but it's not. Â Flavors include, chocolate, mango, strawberry, coffee, and green tea. Â I've had all of them, but I usually get one mango and one chocolate.
When you leave, you get an Andes Chocolate Mint thing. Â And if you're really talented, like me, you can make a teeny-tiny paper airplane with the wrapper, and it flies really far. Â Don't throw it in the restaurant, even if you think you're aiming at your dining companion. Â Trust me, I know this from experience.
Great place!
Okay, last experience there was pure 1 star. Not so good. Overpriced. Felt really rushed for some odd reason. Not satisfied in the least after I left.
Every other time has been fine--- still way overpriced, but in Wheaton you can do that with sushi I guess. It's more of a rarity. But yeah, it's always been good enough. In fact I've had a couple of really good experiences here. It's kind of a shame if my last trip here is what it has turned into.
My suggestion? Take the car and drive over to Kinta Sushi in Carol Stream. Sushi House will be there. Try something new that is in my opinion more authentic, better, and cheaper.
Just sayin. Sushi House is going to be there. They have a captive audience and a nice loyal following it seems. Spread the love.
What was I ever thinking when I first reviewed this place and gave it four stars? This is the best sushi place in the suburbs, you can bet your booty. The itamaes are sweet and kind; don't forget to ask them what fish is fresh that day. I recommend the Benitoro nigiri and Alaskan roll.
Review Source:The service at Sushi House is among the best I've received in the suburbs. Â They truly wait on you, hand-and-foot. Â The chefs are very friendly and will accommodate some specific requests.
The restaurant itself is located inside the Danada Square shopping center so there will never be a problem finding extremely close parking. Â The interior is sparsely decorated in a somewhat traditional Japanese style. Â It is always spotless inside.
The sushi is one of the best in the immediate suburban area. Â But their meats are really what puts this restaurant on the board. Â Their chicken and steak have little to no fat on them. Â Whereas other tempura chickens use really low-quality poultry, these guys go all out with the quality. Â
As with most Japanese restaurants in Illinois, the restaurant is somewhat expensive but if you join Sushi House's e-mail list, they send out discount coupons every month or so. Â So unless you decide to make sushi your post-bourgeois, upper-crust daily haunt, the prices shouldn't be too exorbitant.
Sushi House is a great place to go once. Â It's also a great place to frequent with its consistently excellent service and high-quality food.
Craving sushi on my birthday, this was an easy pick. Â We ordered five rolls between the two of us. Â The spicy tuna was, indeed, pretty spicy. Â In fact, I only got through about half the roll. Â Tim, however, was happy to gobble up the rest as he is more into spice than I am. Â The shrimp tempura was decent. Â However, I would have liked it to be a little bit more crispy. Â I felt it was a little on the mushy side. Â It also didn't have much in terms of complimentary flavors. Â I felt this was also relevant in the california roll I ordered. Â While all the ingredients, independently were good in quality and freshness, I feel their standard rolls lack originality and flavor combination. Â The only exceptions seem to be on their special menu, where the rolls soar to double the price. Â Their "Red Dragon" was much better than the other standard rolls, but were certainly not worthy of an $15 price point.
The service is good and the place is never really crowded. Â We will certainly return as overall, it is one of the better suburban sushi options.
I always enjoyed going to Sushi House when I lived in Chicago. I made sure I stopped in when I was in town last week. I started with green tea to warm me up (damn it was COLD in Chicago) and the edamame. I'm obsessed with spicy tuna rolls but I decided to get crazy and have the spicy tuna "cone." Ok, it's pretty much the same thing but it has more tuna than rice and looks like an ice cream cone. Tasty morsels! The service was awesome. Super friendly and attentive.
Review Source:30 minute wait despite reservations. Â
Food took an hour for 3 of us, but one person's food never came until finally breaking into tears and leaving hungry.
They tried to charge us for her dish!!! Â
Having lived in Asia for several years I'm pretty sure there weren't any communication difficulties. Â They were just a**holes.
Oh, and the food. Â yeah, who cares...
Ate lunch here with my co-workers and service was sloooooooww... Â I had a spicy tuna roll that was not very good at all and a "#7" specialty roll that was good, but cost a whopping $17 (which was not indicated on the board at the front of the restaurant where I saw the roll described). Â Thats a lot of dough for lunch.
Review Source:Aaaaaamazing sushi. Would be 5 stars if the service wasn't so slow sometimes.
If you come with a group of 4 or more, sit in one of the cushion seats up by the windows. Love it!
Some of my favorite rolls here: shrimp tempura, bbq eel, volcano roll, green river roll, haru maki, and...drum roll please...the ever-pleasing spicy tuna. MMMMMMM.
Great place for either a date or with a small group of friends. Wonderful, quiet ambiance.
I have nothing bad to say about SH. Â They have friendly service and it's a nice, quiet place to eat. Â I do recommend going on a weeknight when it's not so crowded. Â The sushi there is pretty good, although I have had a little better. Â It is a little pricey for what it is, but I always leave happy and relaxed - maybe that's because the staff does a great job of recommending sake.
Review Source:For the first time in a long time I don't have much to write (this is a big deal as many who know me I love to talk and express my opinion both verbally and written). Â Mainly because it's been awhile since I went to Sushi House. Â
What do I remember that I could possibly write about? Â Good sushi, good service. Â Need more information - I think not!
We gave this place another try because being pregnant makes me testy about where I eat. Â A marked improvement for all members of my family - my husband loved the steak teriyaki, first in the burbs he said that is not half fat. Â I had the healthy roll dinner which was so cute (I love presentation) it has veggies on top of rice (how tuna, etc comes) and rolls filled with tofu - of course $15 was a bit pricey for 8 pieces of veggie sushi and a cucumber roll in my mind, and the service did take more than an hour. Â The quality and offerings defintely went up in the veggie market - no offering kaiware, and shitake rolls, but sadly the service was still subpar and slow.
Bonus points for there being no fish roe on my rolls like there is at Wild Tuna, one reason I don't go there anymore.
My wife and I decided to stop by Sushi House over the weekend since we were at nearby stores and we were hungry to try a different sushi place. Â For a Saturday night, the place was filled to capacity. Â However, we could tell there were plenty of carry out orders being fulfilled, and as such we didn't even get any appetizer until almost half an hour later. Â The sushi itself came much later and although we anticipated some great maki rolls, it wasn't too spectacular. Â I'd say if we weren't so hungry and waiting so long for our sushi, we would've enjoyed it more, but our expectations weren't met. Â We tried the tiger roll, crunchy roll, and the wheaton roll. Â The Wheaton roll being one of the specialty rolls, it wasn't that bad, but we actually enjoyed the crunchy roll better. Â Not a great experience, but it probably would be better on a less busy night.
Review Source:Some of the best sushi I have ever had. Â All of their dishes are fresh and have wonderful flavor. Â The restaurant is small, but very relaxing. Â The servers are great, they help you with any questions you might have. Â I've enjoyed myself ever time I've been here. Â A definite must if you're in the area.
