PHENOMENAL! The sushi was fresh & the udon noodle soup was delicious. We ordered the party platter the waiter was awesome very polite and professional very knowledgeable of the menu and had our party platter prepared out to us in a timely manner since we were on our way to ohare. The decor is very pretty, the private enclosed booths were nice for privacy, the complimentary miso soup was a very good appetizer. We will be back again when visiting town!
Had the beef teriyaki... didn’t really enjoy it that much. The fried rice was good. My daughter had the shrimp stir fry noodles that was also pretty good. Reasonable prices. Will be back to try the sushi.
I have been going to this restaurant for 7-8 years and it was my to-go place for sushi, but after they opened the second restaurant the quality of both food and service has declined noticeably. Staple dishes have different flavors or ingredients, rude waiters/waitresses, awful Customer Service, and items running out, or no longer being offered but still being advertised (e.g., bubble tea). On my last visit the miso soup was served in styrofoam cups and salad was no longer offered. Ive mentioned this to Chuck (the owner) but he always tries to justify it by being too busy or ignoring the issue (no apologies or attempt to mitigate our bad experience) I will never step in that place again which, by the way, is not cheap either.
This was my first time here. I thought the interior was beautiful and great to impress a date! I hope to return and try more dishes but so far we only got basic maki rolls. However, they were delicious! When we tried to order more (by now it was 2pm) they could not serve us anything that required frying because they had shut off the deep fryer (closes at 2:30p). I dont think thats fair but the lady was polite when she informed us and that wont stop us from returning.
This place is truly a hidden gem for sushi. One of the best sushi spots in the area for a great price. Definitely worth giving it a try.
It was my first time here and it was amazing. We were able to get a table around 630 on a Saturday even though we didn’t have a reservation. There were big wooden dividers between the booths for covid and some of the plates/containers were disposable, too. The food came quickly and was delicious and at least 4-5 different employees greeted us and then said goodbye and thank you as we left! I’ll definitely be coming here again!
The sushi was delicious. If you like bold taste then I would recommend the monitor roll. The golden Mustang is delicious as well.
DON’T BE FOOLED by the old photos or reviews from Management.Ordered Shrimp Teriyaki based on the great reviews and photos of large delicious shrimp and teriyaki with fresh vegetables.What I received was GARBAGE. Gray small shrimp with old carrots and onions in a weird sauce. I threw this s———t away immediately!
Best sushi place hands down. The chef Chuck is a genius and comes up with many original ideas for delicious food! One of the few authentic places for sushi (theres wasabi underneath the fish, and its all brushed with a little bit of soy, nothing extra is needed). Also many original options for sushi rolls if youre into that. Chuck also will do omakase requests (leaving it up to the chef) and create new concoctions on the spot!
So good! Sushi is so delicious!
Hidden gem! We usually carry out but ditched the kids for a night and slipped out for some sushi. Decor is really fun for the burbs and the staff is very friendly. House Miso soup is great, the salad is fantastic! Tempura veggies to start are excellent. All the special rolls are great but really love the Red Dragon among others. Wife ordered the beef teriyaki with fried rice and loved it! Love. This. Place.
Overall a decent experience, but not sure Ill be returning. First of all, when I walked in it was fairly crowded, but none of the patrons were Japanese. Considering this is the NW Suburbs and there is a sizable Japanese population in the area, this wasnt a good sign. Next, I noticed the menu had both Korean and Japanese cuisine on it, which is something I never understand as these are two separate cuisines and two separate cultures and unless youre running a Pan-Asian restaurant there is really no reason why both should be on the menu. Atmosphere was pleasant and inviting with lots of wood and booths that are almost like small rooms. Service was friendly and approachable, though timing was a bit off. However, the sushi itself wasnt overly impressive. Im not saying it was bad, it just wasnt very exciting. Both quality and technique were average. Certainly edible and, at times fun (the Dragon roll was rather enjoyable), but far from what it could be.
This is my second time coming to Hakuya and Ive greatly enjoyed both times. The sushi and sashimi are fresh and thick cut which can be hard to find in a suburban sushi restraunt. Price was pretty standard and decor was a little strange, but that didnt impact my experience. Wait staff was nice and unintrusive as well. Overall I had a very relaxing time and I think its a great little gem for a date or if you just like sushi!
The fancy incandescent bulbs for mood lighting dont do sushi in this picture and justice. It was probably some of the best Sushi Ive had in the Chicago area. The rolls are over sized. Normally when you order a tuna roll at other places it has tiny pieces of tuna in it the thickness of a pencil, the tuna in our roll was easily double or triple that size. The avocado roll had huge pieces of avocado as well. The specialty rolls were amazing and all the rolls were much larger then Ive seen at any other sushi place. We stopped in for their lunch hour and ordered off the menu and were pleasantly surprised to find out that miso soup, salad and edamame were all free with the order. Service was great and we left stuffed for about 30% less then we normally spend at other sushi restaurants. This place is an excellent find.
Great food here.Not a fan of the chicken wings but the kids will eat it.We always get the sushi and bibimbap.
Wow, excellent food, wonderful service, and beautiful restaurant! Sushi even came with edamame, miso soup, and salad that was served soon after we arrived! Would highly recommend for sushi lovers looking for something delicious and new. The spicy salmon roll was very unique and served in warm, fresh tempura.
I like this place, the lunch specials are good theyre fairly standard. Ive never had a dine in experience so I cant comment on that but the girls at the front that take your order are very nice and kind.The sushi is good, fresh and quick. One thing I do notice is that my shrimp tempura is prepared differently almost every time I go there, I dont mind as its always good but I think it depends on who is behind the sushi station.
Not impressed. Paper plates, and plastic silverware and cups should not be used in restaurants where you are paying a premium for anything. Our crab Rangoon was cold inside and the sushi was poor. The entire experience was actually embarrassing and we willNot be returning
By far our favorite sushi place in the burbs! The quality of fish is so good and the ratio of fish to rice is on point. Chef Chuck is super friendly and cool- I love to see an amazingly talented family business. We moved about 40 mins away from this place but still drive regularly to get it because it’s just that good
First time coming to this place, I have had food from there before. Food is not bad, however our visit was very disappointing we got seated, the waiter gave us a cup of water and basically forgot about us. She didn’t even bother to welcome us or even ask if we wanted some drinks as most places do. While this was happening another couple was seated. They got their drinks and appetizers, our waiter never came back we had to go get her. Probably she wasn’t having a good day or something but we didn’t feel welcomed there. The cooks are nice people.
The sushi are amazing and so fresh. My favorite one are the Angry Chuck! I recommend eating at this place 💯!
High quality sushi and very attentive yet friendly staff
I love this place it never disappoints. Great lunch specials hot chuck special roll is my favorite.
Ordered takeout for grandma’s birthday and decided to get a tray with a little bit of everything and we did not regret it. Really great sushi nice and fresh.
I work in the area and have been coming here at least once a week for the past year or two. Great sushi, always fresh. I usually get a lunch special, the poke bowls are great too. Service is quick and staff is polite.
Great service, yummy rolls but no kids menu. Kids got teriyaki salmon but it is very small.
The owners have gotten very creative with their covid booths - so cute and almost romantic. Sushi is fresh and flavorful, plus they offer terrific lunch specials. First time going, but definitely not my last
Love it!!! The chef is so friendly and funny! Thank you for making my fathers birthday a night to remember.
Ordered from here regularly and the sushi was great (months ago). Now, it seems that there are new staff and the food was not great. The sushi may be good but the entrees are not good at all. Maybe for a quick lunch it might be good but I would suggest grabbing an entree elsewhere.
One of the best sushi restaurants Ive ever been! Everything that I tried tasted REALLY good!
The food and service was awesome!
Previously happy with this restaurant and gave 5 stars. But very disappointed tonights visit. First, waiter messed up with one of the dishes so we had to wait another 10-15 mins to get the right one. Also we werent notified theres jalapeños (many slices) in my sons Chicken Udon. Nowhere in the menu indicates that it is spicy. Obviously he could not handle the spiciness and didnt enjoy the food at all.I mention it to the waiter it wouldve been nice if we were notified especially when I ordered it for a child. He said sorry that he didnt.Previously experience 5 star, todays experience 0 star. So I will leave it as 2 stars.
My go-to sushi place in this area! They have really reasonable weekday specials and be sure to try the Black Thunder roll! Didnt know Id enjoy an apple slice on a sushi roll, but hey, give the Abigale a try too (spoiler alert, its very tasty).
This place was delicious and refreshing. I ordered the lunch combo with the shrimp tempura roll, nigiri, and chicken teriyaki. I’m not a big sushi guy (but I’m working to change that) so I underestimated how much food that was, which meant I could take the chicken teriyaki home and eat that for dinner which was pretty clutch. The nigiri was definitely my favorite, but I liked the roll a lot too which was important development in my return to the sushi world. Sabrina clearly liked it a lot too because she went back a week later, so that’s a good sign for their business. Overall: 5/5 super solid.
Despite the many COVID restrictions on restaurants currently, I must say that this sushi joint knows their food. Even better: they know how to treat their customers, make them happy, and hungry for more! It is one of the many many reasons why my family and I keep coming back time and time again. Hands down one of the best sushi spots in town! Highly highly recommended.
The Hakuya sushi restaurant is a staple of all that is right in this world. Have been going there for lunch during work for 3 years now. I’m averaging about 1/2-1/3 my Friday lunch at this fabulous restaurant. It’s just the best! Sushi? great! Katsu? great! Service, Great! Bubble tea, great! Prices, great! I live I. Chicago but work in wheeling and I will never buy sushi downtown again, it’s over priced, and the quality is equal to or less than Hakuya. I love this place and recommend it to anyone who love sushi or Katsu or would like to try something new
Best and highest quality sushi anywhere in the state. Great selection on menu and friendly, welcoming staff. Worth the drive from any distance. The owner is a talented gentleman and knows his art.10 Stars!!!++
Great food, great vibes, great serverI love the inside of the place it gives it such a relaxing vibe, the music was great too! We had the super crunch and the king dragon both were great. Prices are reasonable as well. Our server recommended an apple flavored sake drink and it was delicious. We loved her! Anyway, overall a great place and well be coming back.
Fried rice taste like burned oil. Edamame wasnt fresh and was dry. Expected more since rating was high.Might not try the place again.
Only had the sushi, but it was delcious, everyone was extremely polite, and the prices are great
Hands down best sushi in the area. I honestly dont know where to go outside of Hakuya for decent sushi. Great lunch options, super friendly service and maki rolls to die for. Ive tried almost all the signature rolls here and there isnt one i didnt like. Personal favorite is the Hot Chuck. If youre not a fan of spicy, the Sexy Lady and Salmon Addiction are also among my top orders here.
This place is the friendliest place I’ve ever visited!!! Not only are they great service wise their sushi is fun and creative! Delicious!!! This place is definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone looking for great sushi!! 10/10!
Im pleasantly surprised at this restaurant. Great menu, romantic atmosphere and fresh sushi! Would go here again.
Come here with my friends almost every week (before covid) I love the sushi that they give you and the service in the restaurant is the best. One employee even talked to us about the school we were attending. The other one was always happy to see us and greeted us with a huge smile on her face, which immediately made our day better. Cant wait to go to there again after the quarantine!
Great place for Sushi. Would definitely come back. A little pricey on the specialty rolls though, but they are large enough to share. There was a hot stone bowl on the menu filled with veggies and choice of meats. Wow! That was awesome. Recommend.
I truly love this place. They have great sushi, great non-sushi entrees and the owner Chuck is really cool. They just remodeled the whole place and it looks beautiful and much more modern. Their sushi menu goes on for days! And every roll I have gotten there has been absolutely delicious. I recommend the Abigail roll, the sweet potato roll, and pretty much any of their specialty rolls. Hands down my favorite sushi place and the customer service there could not be better. Theyre also great at catering to specific food requests and food restrictions. Highly recommend :)
U want great sushi stop here.Fresh n tasty...Must try salmon
Best Sushi on the North West Side! I have been going to Hakuya Sushi for over 5 year. Love the atmosphere, food, and staff is very good at what they do. The Food is mazing and priced reasonably. They have their own signature roles, Abigale is our fav!
So, Im sure all the NW suburb Sushi lovers all remember Sakura, the incredible sushi joint that went down in a fire and never reopened.Still with me?GO. HERE. Its just as good, and the prices are very reasonable. They recently remodeled the entire inside and it looks so good, not to mention that their rolls are very well-made.
Best sushi weve had in Chicagoland! Were from the east coast and had been missing reliably fresh maki. FOUND IT! Prompt service and super-easy online web ordering. They even have bubble tea!
I wanted to try a new Sushi place and was very disappointed with Hakuya. I asked to substitute a roll for the same price as what was offered and they told me there will be an up charge. Sushi is made to order and not already made before you order...very disappointed. Im going back to old faithful Naomi Sushi on Rand rd. They allow substitutions at the same price point at no up charge. bummer I really wanted to change places. I eat at Naomi once a week.
I went once with my 3 years old and Im impressed by their professionalism and attitude towards clients. We liked the food. The place is comfort, you have your privacy but you are not isolated at the same time. The sushi is very good. Wed love to visit again.
Ive driven by this place for the past year-and-a-half but have never stopped in... Until today that is. I looked up the reviews online and it came highly recommended and I must say that I tend to agree. This place has great sushi with average prices (not too high or low). The quality of the fish was great and I got the Abigail Roll which was warm, friend, and delicious.
Id dare to say that this is the best sushi Ive had in a while, and believe me when I say Ive had many. Prices are excellent compared with the quality sushi youre getting. Recommendations: Hot Chuck, Golden Mustang and O.M.G.PS: my wife and I go to that place so much that the chef asked us if we always order the same thing. Thats how good this place is
Have been many times; just went again today with my family. Each time, the service is amazing, the food is great, and the sushi is fresh and tasty. I love coming here, love the prices and the lunch specials, and love the service. I’ll definitely be going back soon.
Fresh fish decides, I recommend you to visit. The kitchen is on top. Special thanks to the official Nikita, excellent service, attentive and unobtrusive service. A solid five, my personal recommendation.
Loved the veggie hot pot dish! Warm and yummy on my cold, rainy day visit. Sushi is expensive here, but I bet its good. I went to try their sushi, but the weather and sushi prices steered me toward the hot pot--and Im glad!
Amazing food at reasonable prices. The best sushi restaurant I had tried so far. Chuck offers personal service and his staff is always very courteous and welcoming. The tables are clean and all is organized and in order. I go there regularly for Sexy Lady roll and nigiri, because the fish tastes fresh and delicious. If you live in the area and love sushi, this should be your place to go on the regular basis.
Good sushi. Good miso soup. The beef teriyaki was more of an entree when I expected beef skewers. I would dine there again.
We have eaten here twice so far and it has become our favorite Japanese Sushi restaurant. I have loved everything I have tried so far. The miso soup is so yummy, shrimp tempura roll is absolutely delicious, teriyaki chicken is great, and the Udon that I normal don’t like elsewhere I really like here. Definitely a great find.
Great food, excellent prices. Havent found a spot this good since living in CA!
Best sushi in the area! Im a regular here, and its consistently good. The only complaint I have is that sometimes the rolls dont stay together as nicely as others (they fall apart), but the taste is always excellent.
My husband and I stopped by for a late lunch with our almost one year old son. The food was amazing. Even more important the staff was extremely helpful and sweet to our son. They made sure he had plenty of miso soup and entertained him while we ate. We will definitely be back regularly.
I was on a quick trip and wanted some sushi so I busted out the Yelp app and this place popped up. Sushi places are a dime a dozen in this area but getting a good one can be challenging. Hakuya Sushi did not disappoint! The fish was excellent and service was very good. I will most definitely be back!
Great service but more importantly amazing sushi. Everything tastes just great. I have tried many places in Chicagoland but these are fantastic. Highly recommend. We will be back
Ive been to tons of sushi restaurants in the Chicagoland area.. even expensive ones in the loop, and this is by far the BEST sushi Ive ever eaten. The balance of flavors was perfect with every single roll, very affordable prices, they use the freshest fish ever, and the staff goes out of their way to make your experience fantastic. I recommend this place to everyone. A+
This was good and the fish tasted pretty fresh. Their combo platters are sizable and should be enough to feed 2 people. They give out nice thick slices of fish on their nigiri and sashimi. Good sushi spot in the northern burbs
We havent been in here in a little while. We really like the upgrades they have made in the interior. My kids always get the udon and chicken with fried rice. They love it. The rolls are great. I tried the sashimi platter which I will definitely be ordering again.
Never had sushi before, so take my experience with a grain of salt.Great food. Enjoyed every bite, and even finished what my wife couldnt eat. I would definitely be going again when back in the area.
This is the only place for sushi I go to because I always know I will leave with a full stomach and complete satisfaction. When I do choose to break my diet even slightly (low carbs) I would rather come here than any other food place out there. Fails to disappoint every time. Very happy for Chuck and family with their newest Sushi restaurant (Haku) as well! Check out these restaurants if you want pure Bliss in your mouth! 😁
Their party trays are awesome. Dine in is great too. I have been their customer since they opened. Too bad they are closed on Sundays.
Very nice place with great prices. I ordered a chicken teriyaki and it was a huge portion. The wine and beer prices beat all sushi places, not at all overpriced like other sushi places. Great service! Will definitely come back.
The prices were fair and had that Japanese style to it! Bento boxes were amazing, they give miso soup and salad with their homemade dressing (both amazing). Sushi is amazing too and so is their tea! Would definitely recommend and go again.
I love this sushi place the food Is amazing and reasonably priced. Best sushi Ive ever had. I eat there almost 6 times a week and I do not regret a single penny that Ive spent there. Amazing service you really feel like they care about your dining experience.
Amazing. Great sushi. Salad and soup included. Owner is very involved. Weve been going here since it opened and the quality has stayed very high. Havent found a better sushi place in the burbs
We usually take out or deliver, and its always delicious! Tonight we went into the restaurant and its such a fun date night. Little private booths and great staff. Our favorites are: tempura vegetables, beef teriyaki and any of their special rolls 🍣
They all said that this restaurant was the BEST sushi restaurant in town. Well, they got that right. I just moved to town with my wife and we went here for a date and everything was AMAZING. The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. We didn’t expect to eat so much! We left feeling very full and very satisfied!Our recommendation: try the Apple Sake! It’s not strong at all and tastes like apple juice haha
The best sushi ever ...i really recommend Salmon addiction; crazy mango; Rickys favourite and etc ..
I cannot say enough about Chef Chuck and the staff at Hakuya. My husband and I sat at the sushi bar to celebrate our anniversary and they did not disappoint! Unique and delicious - amazing salads, and incredible sushi rolls and nigiri! Best sushi weve had in a very long time! Thank you all for a wonderful evening!
Great sushi. We have been going there a few times. Easy call ahead and pick up during these turbulent times. Great sushi. One of our favorite spots.
Have driven by here frequently but never went inside, outside doesnt really stick out as notable. Now were disappointed we didnt try this place sooner. Very creative food, starting with the water which is infused with lemon, apple, and cucumber (super delicious). Amazingly friendly staff, the owner and chef came out to chat a few times. Prices are extremely reasonable, cant recommend highly enough.UPDATE: Been coming here off an on for awhile, and I think I can say now that its the best sushi place I know of in the suburbs. Everything is consistently fresh, and perfectly made. Just tried their kimchi for the first time today (they do have a limited selection of Korean dishes) and I knew right away it was homemade. Have never tasted kimchi that fresh before (and Ive been to a lot of Korean restaurants).
Always an incredible and wonderful experience with the incredibly kind and accommodating chef and owner, Chuck. Best sushi in the Chicagoland area for sushi lovers and doubters alike. Definitely worth checking out if you have yet to!
Fresh, delicious, sushi with thick slices of fish, with just the right amount of spice or cream cheese or whatever else you might find in your roll of choice to bring out the flavor of the fish instead of masking it. I cant believe this is so close to home - Im completely beside myself with glee right now.Update: its been 6 years and Im still in love. I have eaten here a mortifying number of times and picked up sushi to go even more often and Ive never had a bad experience.
All the sushi weve tried from here has been delicious. They have a lot of unique specially rolls and their overall quality is very high
This place is amazing. The sushi is always fresh and delicious and the staff is so nice. The owner is always there and always so personable! Not to mention they dont close in the middle of the afternoon so I can get their sushi anytime! Yummm
Miso soup and salad to start, potstickers for an appetizer. Ordered four different sushi rolls, very generous toppings ans servings. A bit salty but good! GREAT waitress! Definitely going back.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much food I got for what I paid. Fish tasted fresh and everything came out perfect. Will definitely go again next time I want sushi.
Service is quick and great, I have a 45 minute lunch and am always in and out without rushing in about half hour or so. Great food very reasonable prices. Love their Philly Roll and Beef BiBimBop.
Chuck and the staff are great. Very nice and attentive without being overbearing.The sushi is great quality, large pieces of fresh fish, fresh vegetables, and the rice is high quality as well. Every meal I get comes with edimame, miso soup, and a salad for no additional charge. I love sushi and have tried many different places in the area and this is, without question, my favorite.The values is unbeatable. You may pay a bit more than some of the all you can eat places, but the quality they serve is worth every penny and compared to the other a la carte sushi restaurants, they are usually a bit less expensive as still better sushi.If I had any complaints,it could be a little bit cleaner, but it is by no means a dirty establishment or gross or anything like that. Also 90% of the specialty rolls have teriyaki sauce and it isnt necessary and if you ask they have no problem making it without. The décor isnt really flattering or anything too over the top and special, but it isnt ugly either. Those are my only very small critiques.I love this place. Go because its the best sushi in town and for the price it is an insane value.
Food was really good. Interior is new. But service was not very good. They only brought 3 lunch menus and 2 dinner menus and we were eating dinner as a 3. And they only included 2 chopsticks. The rice was kinda all over the place. I also think they should add miso soup to the menu because I had to ask them to order miso soup. Last thing is that music was kinda strange. It was more for road radio. They should change the music to something more for restaurant. Some of the servers were nice. Though we only stayed an hour and we got about 10 different servers it was fine. Food came out pretty fast.
Great price for a great quality of fish. Eel and tuna were delicious. I always order brown rice for a roll and they used a fresh tasty brown/purple rice. Very good, will certainly be coming back.
Great place. Food was great as well the service. Will come back.
Best sushi! Fresh, clean tasting. Service the best. Cooked food is wonderful as well. I go there often and have never been disappointed.
Simply put, the best sushi you will have. After eating here, all other sushi places feel like waist of money. Also, dont forget to try their Korean dishes as well. When we dont feel like eating sushi, we still come here for Korean food.
It was my second favorite sushi place, since the first one is now out of business, this one made it to the top XP. Their sushi is really tasty, but personally I would expect a warmer experience, price is fair and sushi variety is very decent. Very good music and friendly staff.
Best sushi, and even better customer service. We had an issue with our order, and they addressed it promptly and professionally.Everything is so fresh and flavorful. Must try.
Best sushi place weve been to since moving to Illinois 5 years ago. Chuck keeps everything fresh and has some ridiculously good creative rolls. The Salmon Nigiri is amazing!!!
This place is my to-go lunch place for between my work breaks. It has been absolutely great and super friendly staff. Cannot really say anything negative about this place. It has a wide variety of options for everyone, and so far everything we have tried been fantastic. Definitely go back again
Great place! Lunch specials are a great value, sushi is tasty and fresh, and the attention of the server was amazing. Ill be back any time Im in the area!
Amazing taste of sushi, one of the best Ive ever tasted. Nice service and atmosphere. Definitely will come again, many times :) And very pleasant chief! Also I like their water with fruits.
Staff is friendly. The sushi is good and very reasonably priced. They have lunch specials all day long so you can get a great value.
Very delicious food ,great staff ,my only complain could be the little soy sauce and little Wasabi they serve but other than that great food 😋
I really enjoyed this place. The miso soup, salad, and sushi rolls I had were all delicious. The staff was great too. Highly recommend.
Looks like a hole in the wall, but the sushi is very good. I had the spicy tuna roll, the tuna tasted fresh. The service was great and prices are very reasonable. This is now my favorite sushi spot in the area.
I really felt that I had really great quality fish. The best that i ve ever eaten. Also the prices are not bad especially during lunch time. We had the Tuna Poke which i thought was made perfectly and had a great sauce mixed in. Then we go Nigri and spicy salmon rolls. Best ive ever had and 2 lunch combos with tuna poke came out to $25. Also the lunch combo comes with miso soup and a house salad. I would def come back here for lunch. I was very loyal to Sushi Para, but Hakuya is better in my opinion.
Amazing Sushi, very friendly and warm staff. Plenty of extras that make the cost very worth it. I cant believe that Ive waited until now to visit. Simply the best sushi place around!
Hakuya has the best sushi in town and the best staff. My husband and I go at least once a week. It is like being welcomed into the family every time we walk in.
Great family owned sushi place. They just remodeled the interior. Looks great! Best in town. We come here at least 3 times a month.
Checked it out one day. Glad I did, food was excellent and decent portions. Owner was very interactive and came to the table to ask how everything was and gave us a taste of appetizers on the house. Highly recommend going!
We moved away and we crave this place! Their sushi is amazing. You have to try the Abigail and Hot Chuck! Very reasonably priced as well.
Love this place! Excellent lunch choice for quick, pleasant service and delicious sushi. Bibimbop good too. Owner very personable. In my regular lunch rotation.
Amazing sushi and so much cheaper than Chicago prices! Very friendly staff. Sake bombs were authentic and great as well! Will come again and again!
Fun menu, great customer service, got to talk to the chef who really cares about the food he serves. Awesome ambience
We ordered the Salmon sushi and the fried Shrimp sushi and it was delicious. Fresh ingredients. I recommend it and i will continue to come here. Dine in or take out.
Whenever Im in the area this is one of your favorite sushi places. The lunch specials especially help since you can order a few different kinds of rolls.
Great sushi! Fantastic lunch specials, 2 huge rolls, salad, soup, high quality food and great service. I highly recommend this restaurant.
I dislike sushi you cant fit in your mouth, and all three (regular and special) rolls were ordered were like that. Hot entree, salad, and soup were all great. Service was fast.
Loved this place. Even got adventurous and ordered Salmon Collar for appetizer and it was amazing. Don’t let the salmon head intimidate you because my friend ate the eyeball and said it was delicious!
Hakuya is honestly the best sushi places Ive been to. And Ive been to a lot because I want to try sushi from everywhere. But I will always come back to hakuya where I know I will always get my moneys worth.
Great food! The owner is really nice. Sometimes he checked on the customer to make sure we satisfied or need something else. Decent price for lunch and dinner!
Great food, service and ambiance. Only suggestions to staff are to know the flavors of the saki better to help your customers choose, and make sure your restaurant shows up on Google maps when you search for Japanese restaurants.
Great little place for sushi. Family-owned atmosphere is great. Good selection of sushi. Bonus, you get soup and salad with your meal. So tasty!
This will be our third visit to HAKUYA. The first two were excellent and showed great promise for future great experiences. Sadly, not today. I dont know what happened except the owner wasnt there, but we got tuna rolls with old tasting dark brown tuna. Spotty service, the rolls seemed skimpy compared to previous and no EDAME which was on the table the previous two visits. The MISO soup was watery instead of rich tasting. In short, pretty much everything was off the mark, and for the life of me, I dont know why. We had great hopes for this place, even though it looks a bit shabby, because it is close to home. I have to say that during the past three months we discovered another place on Barrington Road in Streamwood named MINAMI. This cute little place is so excellent in every respect that it has become pretty much our benchmark, but we still liked HAKUYA until today, so - - - we intend to try this place one more time; - - hopefully when the owner/chef is there. I guess well see. It is so disappointing to experience restaurants that cant maintain their standards.
Hakuya Sushi is the best. The menu is creative and the service is great. We ordered a variety of sushi rolls. Couldnt have asked for a better birthday dinner.
Enjoyed every deliciously fresh bite!
I usually pick up from this restaurant, always keep the customers waiting. Only order if you’ve got heaps of time to wait for your food.
Chill and cozy vibe, very friendly staff and fresh, tastey rolls. Its our favorite neighborhood sushi spot! The salmon addiction roll is appropriately named. :)
Worst sushi Ive had in a long time, especially for the money. I ordered a eel Maki and a shrimp Tempura to go and I called back in to tell them they didnt give me my eel. Turns out they did give me eel... I just couldnt identify it because the eel was paper thin and they drowned the entire dish in panko. My girlfriends shrimp dish was mediocre at best and was also drowned in panko. The wasabi was not spicy and tasted like it had dry chunks in it. Also, ordered Ikura (salmon eggs) and they where kinda dry and tacky like they had been sitting out.The seaweed salad was the only thing that tasted as expected.I eat raw fish and sushi all of the time. Someone that likes sushi from a mall kiosk stand or Walgreens might be fine here if you dont mind paying 2x for the same thing but if your a conasour of raw fish dont look for quality here.
The menu and service were ahead of my expectations. I truly liked the atmosphere of this restaurant. Amazing place to take my family out for lunch.
The best sushi restaurant around. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Great service
Delicious, unusual flavor combinations. Whether you prefer spicy or mild, sushi or beebimbop, meat or vegetarian, theres something tasty for you. The decor is warm with Intimate alcoves or space for a group. Highly recommended.
The food is DELICIOUS! Great value and large servings. The best is the crunchy sweet potato sushi. Everyone is very nice and helpful as well.
My friend and I went on a last minute dinner date today, and it was an absolute delight! Everyone was welcoming and considerate, and their food was great. I would definitely come here again.
Freshest Sashimi I seen in Illinois, great food, because the chief/owner really do care about his restaurant. It is very dark inside, but the food and the services are great.
Best sushi place in the suburbs... High quality sushi, great fish, tons of options and an amazing price - even if its not a lunch special.
Absolutely went above and beyond our expectations...when looking at it from outside you would not expect it to be what it is...this restaurant is super cute...every person in there was very friendly and the food was very good!! Would definitely recommend!
The food is always well prepared and yummy, workers hands over good service. I loved the cleanliness and mood. Worth a try.
Amazing!! I love this place. I go here almost one a month. The fish quality is amazing and the sushi is prices are unbeatable.
Very good sushi rolls
Hakuya roll and Mango Gaga. What an amazing place and this is the best sushi in town.
The food is regularly fresh and delightful, cashiers gives great service. I liked how clean it is and character. Will come back again.
Great fresh sushi for low price. Everyone should try it you wont be disappointed. Very nice and friendly service.
Great sushi and very friendly staff. Happy after each visit. I think this is the best sushi place in the area.
Hakuya is great as always. Now they serve bobas, flavored iced teas, and new cocktails.
Came here for lunch with a coworker. Service was quick, staff was friendly, and food was great. Ate the lunch special and was definitely full afterwards. Highly recommend for lunch.
Best sushi within 20 miles Id say. Plenty of special dishes I had never heard of. Too manh recomendations to name. Absolutely delish!
Delicious and reasonably priced sushi lunch specials (most under 10 dollars) that include soup and salad. Fast, pleasant lunch and service. Plenty of food.
I really like the stone pot. Sushi rolls are also very good. Very reasonably priced.
Great folks and great quality sushi! Very nice interior as well. I highly recommend this spot..
Quality of the food is decent, and prices too. But I ordered a shrimp tempura udon, and they brought me the udon with shrimp tempura sushi on the side... not exactly what a shrimp tempura udon is supposed to be.
Owner is awesome and goes around to check on each table. Lunch is a great deal. Get your sushi fix here!
This place has changed a lot since the last time I went. Looks a lot nicer and more modern. Fish tasted really fresh, and there was a lot of high energy from employees.
Wonderful food, great service and all-around solid dining experience.
This spot clearly knows how to serve their customers. Regularly with a very friendly attitude. The food is fairly priced, regularly fresh and neat.

Great sushi place in the suburbs. Great sashimi and nigiri combos. Soup and salad is included with dinner.
Best sushi in town! I highly recommend the Tokyo nacho appetizer, definitely my go to!
Best sushi in the suburbs, creative rolls, owner/head chef cares about restaurant will see him help bussing during busy hours without drawing attention to himself.
I really like family owned restaurants and this one is one of the best for my opinion. Food is great, servant is awesome atmosphere is terrific!
Excellent place for dinner. Great atmosphere and outstanding food. Everything we tried had incredible flavor.
Absolutely delicious! And great, friendly, over-the-top service! Thanks guys! My mom and I will definitely be back again? Gomabseubnida!
Sushi is amazing. Love this place and the people. Chuck, the owner, is a great chef and very personable.
Delicious and amazing service. Would go back in a heartbeat!
Do not order take out online, phone is down, and when you go to pick up the order no one is there to give you your order. Long wait times and huge crowds of people waiting and not practicing social distancing.
My favorite sushi place. The mango Gaga and mojito lime are my go-to’s.
Excellent portion sizes, and the lunch special even came with soup and salad. An excellent place for a great meal, at a very good price.
Amazing sushi prepared creatively and beautifully. Best sushi in the suburbs, and better than Ive found in the city.
Excellent! Fish was fresh, miso and salad were great, service was good. Water had lemon in it already. Will be back.
Love the food. Service may use a bit of improvement but still good. It a place we visit often.
So happy to have found this place so close to home. Been back there several times always just great. Everyone we have brought there has also been impressed.
Best sushi around, lunch specials are always a good move
Good food, neat environment.
Good service, amazing quality and tasty sushi. Best place in the northwest burbs
Pleasantly surprised. Great appetizers and great service. The presentation and flavors were amazing!
We go every Saturday and it is simply the best sushi in the Chicago area no doubt
Pretty good sushi, and they have lunch specials. The ramen is not homemade, so probably better to stick with the sushi.
Some of the best sushi Ive had in some time. Some great special rolls.
Best sushi 🍣, try the Abigail, my daughter loves the shrimp teriyaki.
I love sushi just love their sushi. Good soup and salads to which you have additional to sushis.
Tokyo Nacho, Udon, and Mojito Lime Roll are to die for! Staff is friendly! Good atmosphere!

2021-10-26This is my second visit to this restaurant. The male staff serving was very friendly and made me feel good. The sushi quality is very good and delicious compared to other places. There are cheaper restaurants around, but I will come here even if its a little more expensive. This is one of the restaurants I would happily recommend to my family and friends.

2022-04-15I used to order a lot from this place, as I really liked how fresh and well prepared sushi were. But the last couple of times this place disappointed me, poorly made sushi, soy sauce smelled very old. Yesterday I placed an order, and I think it will be the last time ordering from there. I found few bones in the fish, the roll with shrimp tempura did not even had it, instead I found only some shrimp tails which did not even were pilled of the skin.

2022-06-05I have been going to Hakuya sushi for many years consistently, this is only because of how well made there sushi is and the amazing taste that chuck and his chefs make. The sushi around here is not amazing and I feel that the only restaurant who should be making sushi is Hakuya. I can’t really explain it because it’s such a regular treat I am used to it. Overall it’s some damn good sushi and I would highly recommend it

2022-05-22Absolutely recommend! Smaller spot but was convenient, available (Saturday ~6.30pm without reservations), everything was delicious with a large array of options, and the service was really great too everyone was super nice. We were super hungry so we ordered quite a bit: the shrimp tempura, the Bibimbap shrimp and beef dishes, and the chicken with shrimp fried rice. We also got a miso soup which was fantastic (we couldnt find on the menu, but our waiter asked if we would like it). We had come here a couple of years ago while dating and now accidentally ended up back here married, still just as delicious! We never tried the Bibimbap before and decided to go different & highly recommend (picture = pre- mixed)!!!! It comes with a little sauce on the side which we werent sure what it was but it has to be added to the dish and mixed. It was sooooooo good. I took half home and ended up eating the rest at home 🤭.

2022-04-26Hakuya has the best lunch specials. The 3 roll lunch special is my favorite!!! It is a great proportion for the price. Ordering is easy online. They are usually busy at lunch time, so call ahead. Their spicy sauce is slightly sweet while being spicy, so so good!We stopped by for dinner, and with covid, I think they’re short staffed. We weren’t able to dine in, so that wasn’t great, but we understood.

2022-07-22Small sushi spot with great food and an immersive atmosphere. Sushi is prepared fresh along with various other hot/cold dishes. Decor inside is very reminiscent of an authentic sushi experience and elevates your meal. Service was attentive and the pricing is standard for sushi in the area.
