The inside is ok, but the bathrooms smell like a musty old basement. We prefer to pick up. The food is always FANTASTIC. We take many people here to show them REAL SUSHI. DELICIOUS. DELISH. YUM.

The food options were plenty, and the food quality was top notch.

Excellent sushi with a beautiful and clean dining area and fast service for takeout orders. I'll definitely be coming back.

The sushi and udon were almost adequate. The “Big Calif. Roll” tasted of rice, mainly. White wine of unspecified origin costs 10 for a 4.5 ounce serving in a tiny old school wine glass. Wholesale, they cost $ 2.00 or so... I actually spilled the wine and broke the glass. They added $ 9.00 to the bill because of the broken glass. Karma’s a B, Nobori San. We won’t be visiting you again...

We don't get to come here for lunch often, but when we do it is always really good. They have some really good deals for lunch and the full menu is also available. The service is always good and Nobori is there serving you many days and nights. It is easy to tell he really cares about his business and wants to succeed. In the burbs it's a great place to go for lunch or dinner highly recommend!

Wow. I am so impressed. This has to be the best sushi restaurant in the Chicagoland area. If it's not number 1 it's hands down a contender for it.

We got 4 rolls and we're nothing short of blown away. I know the spider roll isn't something that's loved by all but I always love trying them at every sushi restaurant I go to. Putting my guilty pleasure aside (which was also perfect) the rolls were seriously perfect. The fish tasted so clean and the rice was the perfect temperature. They have plenty of fresh fish (non-spicy) options as well as spicy ones.

The major factor that separate this restaurant from your typical spot:
-very clean fish taste
-spices and auxiliary flavors were not overbearing
-the rice, the rice, the rice!
-the simplicity and beautiful of the rolls
-the atmosphere and service

Me and my fiance sat down and when I first opened the menu I will admit I was a bit overwhelmed. There are a lot of entrees/appetizers. With that said, when you get to the sushi section it's clear, concise, and has things for every sushi lover. Also also also, don't skip the back page!! That's where I picked up the yellowtail and spring onion roll!! This was probably my favorite of the 4!!

If you're ever in the area I seriously cannot stress enough how much I loved this place. It brought me back to Boston and Japan which were the 2 best sushi experiences I've had. That's saying something.
