"Then you must go to Sushi by Chef Soon in Lisle. The Sushi is deliciously flavorful in every bite! We had 6 different rolls and they were all perfect. You can get sweet, spicy, fresh, fried...you name it. No soy sauce needed! No soy sauce! That says a lot. It's worth the trip...if you are not in Lisle. I'm in Chicago :)
Definitely not your vibrant, romantic, scenic, late-night ambiance, BUT it's a must for the sushi!"

"The investment here is in the food. What you get for what you pay is quite good. If you're looking for a great physical environment go somewhere else. If you're looking for good food & the ability top watch & talk with the sushi chef as it is prepared - ENJOY it here."

"Great sushi. Only our second visit and we were remembered-- very nice. Restaurant called to let me know of road closure (due to flooding) and then called again to let me know road was reopened. Saved us so much time. Highly recommend."

"To keep it simple, the food and service were comparable to any super expensive Chicago sushi place. The space is small and shared with a BBQ place, but it is screened off and feels completely seperate and decorated nicely. Chef Soon does a great job having a nice fresh variety, making you want to go back. If you want flashy and trendy, go downtown. If you want good sushi close to home, try it."

"It was great sushi, don't get me wrong. I am biased being a manager in the hospitality industry. They just don't run the plce well. The food again...killer! I just can see that they don't have a stationed hostess which hurts their organization between the Korean BBQ and Sushi sections. We could hear them arguing about how to seat people and how plates should be given to tables. I'll go again for the food...maybe to go."

"Started with the cucumber & mint salad - superb. Four of us split 7 specialty rolls and devoured all of them. Fish was super fresh and roll combinations were great. They had some spicy ones and unique combos like the tropical roll. This was some of the best sushi I've ever had. We were a little scared when we realized this place was in a shopping center but it was a pleasant surprise."
