My family came to eat here when it opened on Saturday at 12 pm. The waiter greeted us and gave us a table and menus, but then we had to find him to place our order. We had to find him again to get our check. The place is not very clean. Utensils were not clean and the floor had debris on it. The bathroom did not have a lot of soap either. Possibly this could be because they just opened when we went in, but it's weird because on that day not a lot of people were outside in Barrington. The food lacked flavor. The waiter gave us sauces to use in conjunction with the food. We were disappointed that the chef's expected us to add sauce to the dishes to make it taste good. Prices are high as well which does not help, and some portions were big, but not big for 5 people. Buddha's plate was the most flavorful thing and tasted pretty good. The Shanghai Bok Choi only had 5 pieces in it. As a side note, the whole time my family was at the restaurant no one else came in to eat, which was a little
Top quality food. Sushi perfect, Garlic beef is my favorite dish of all Asian restaurants.Austin, makes you feel right at home, friendly, witty, makes eating out a fun time.
This place is a must try. Foods on point. The staff super personable and it's always nice to see an owner that not only cares about the food but also the people eating it. Alterations to the menu not a problem, sauce change...they have many. Nothing on this menu is typical, everything has an exciting flavor twist. My favorite example of that is the spicy edamame. You must give it a try. Nothing on their menu sucks and when you are there....you are surrounded by regulars. Both because of the menu and definitely because of the way they treat their customers. LOVE this place.
