Best Japanese Restaurants in Downers Grove

Our cook Adan was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious last night, as lately the times I have gone with my family it has been so so, well last night made up for the other experiences. Also our waitress, I don’t remember her name but it was her first night, she did absolutely amazing for it being her first night on a Saturday ! She wasn’t nervous and she jumped right in like she has been doing this forever. She was friendly and smiled a lot , she was quick to get everything we needed and very interactive with the guest! An atmosphere like Beninihanas needs more waitresses like that as it can be very intimidating with the amount of guest on weekends!

The food was tasty and the chef was skilled but didn't have as much personality as many in the past.

Everything from the service to the food and the timing of the entree’s was amazing. The drinks were also amazing. This was my first time and will be back very soon.

We are regulars here and really love the service and food! We got to make it for happy hour. We had the sliders, popcorn chicken, avocado chicken rolls and the shrimp taco. All delicious. Hector is the best and always takes care of us. The drinks are made to perfection

We had dinner on a Sunday night. The location was very convenient with its own parking and a nice outdoor patio area. We ordered miso soup, the Fiesta, Black Monster, and Picasso rolls. It was all really good and had new flavors I had not tried before. Black Monster uses black rice rather tan white sushi rice. Fiesta had a delicious and assertive chili oil which worked well with the other flavors in the roll. And the marinated onion in the Picasso roll was a big improvement on the fried crunchy onions that many other places use. That was plenty of food for two, but after seeing a surprising number of desserts go out to other tables, we ordered a bomba (mango, passion fruit and raspberry sorbetto) to share. That was also very tasty, and I now get why so many people were going for dessert on Sunday night at a sushi place. It was a nice surprise to have a such a nice dinner while on the road and choosing from unfamiliar spots. I would definitely return when I'm back in town.
