Hakuya Sushi

Good price. Very nice sushi chef. Nice selections. it seems like patrons know owner and vice versa. I was there 2 times and will come back. Nice atmosfere friendly like family one. I recomend

Came for lunch after 2pm and still received the lunch special :). Sushi was fresh and the service was fast and polite. Enjoyed the quick bite very much. Ordered the super crunchy roll. Delicious :)

So awesome! Love the sushi! But to start off the staff was awesome bring water but not any water lemon water. And was so good about filling up my cup. Then they give you complimentary miso soup and salad and edamame! This along was impressive… the price was totally reasonable. We got the Tokyo nachos and four different rolls… everything was phenomenal. I love the menu was very easy to read put in different categories like raw fish, veggie rolls… for anyone new to try sushi! I was so impressed too that there was so many people getting orders or take out that’s when you know that’s a good sushi place.

Chef Chuck is awesome, the whole staff is incredible!
Absolute favorite sushi place!‘
Hands Down!
This place is outta bounds!

Enjoyed the Sushi here
1. Good quality sushi. Ordered crab/​salmon/​tuna and all three were fresh tasting.
2. Affordable. Most rolls were under $ 8-​$ 9 with the specialty around $ 12-​$ 15. Didn’t pack it with extra rice.
3. Double fried tempera crunch roll. The least authentic roll but so delicious.
Would return and recommend to others.

I don’t usually write reviews, but this place was a good find. I ordered the Ama Ebi, King Dragon and Zombie. The sushi were all fresh and the service was great to top it off. We were greeted and served by Ann and Chuck (owner). Great service. It was a very memorable dining experience and will make sure to visit again when I do come back to Buffalo Grove.

After living in the city for the last 3 years (where sushi spots were everywhere), I’ve been looking for a go-​to place for sushi and other Asian dishes near my home, now that I’m up in the burbs. And by golly, I think I found it!
I did try their sushi rolls before which I remember being tasty, and not too much rice (too much rice means too little fish!). But I will write more specifically about two of their lunch specials which I had today with my dad.
I ordered Chicken Katsu, he ordered the bibimbop which comes in a hot stone bowl (best way to have bibimbop, in my opinion).
They serve a small salad and miso soup before the actual meals come out. Like I said, I had the chicken katsu, and it is AWESOME!!! I’ve had other katsu before but the coating they use is crisped to perfection. You hear a literal crunch! The sauce on top of the katsu was also delicious. It has a subtle sweetness to it. I’m used to seeing the tonkatsu sauce that Asian groceries sell, but was pleasantly surprised that they had a different sauce. I should have asked if it was a pre made thing or if they make their own special sauce.
My Dad ordered the bibimbop. He’s an older Korean man who’s hard to please, esp with Korean food. But even my Dad said the bibimbop was great. Perfect amount of rice and veggies. He ordered his with beef and he said he was surprised how tender the beef was! I tried a bite — and I concur, it was awesome!
They do not serve a lot of side dishes like the Korean restaurants (ex. Sansoo Gapsan in Morton grove) do, but that’s okay. They did give us kimchi and a pickled radish that I really enjoyed. And I usually don’t like kimchi!
The owner is behind the sushi bar, and the servers are really nice! Atmosphere is great. Looking forward to future trips here!

Was greeted with a smile and a nice hello by all staff and cooking staff. Nice atmosphere at the establishment. There was a very good selection from the menu. The fish for the sushi was fresh. I really liked it when the owner came out and asked how we were and how everything was tonight along with asking if we had any questions. It was a good price for sushi. Highly recommend this place. I will definitely be back there again.

This place is amazing. The chef is always there and the news articles framed in the front indicate he used to cook at the Trump Towers. It’s extremely affordable and the service has always been up to par. Would def recommend this place for sushi in the burbs.

Great food, great maki and sushi rolls! Enjoyed the seafood pancake. One of the best I’ve had!

This place is awesome! Sushi is fresh and very tastes. We tried the cinco de mayo rolls and they were fabulous.
Chicken katsu was good and the miso soup plus salad were good appetizers.
Udon was tasty and will definitely come back.
Overall, a great place with friendly service,

Fresh, but not impressed.
I never knew this place was so close to my house. I was immediately excited to try this place out. The place is small and cozy, I enjoy going to to places like this. The place was quiet, with an intimate setting. The music was the top subject that night, they played everything I loved. The service was okay. I felt like they were not as attentive as they should be. I had to ask for a water refill twice. Toward the end of our dinner, I had felt like we were being pushed out. With regards to the food, I had looked up the menu before my friends and I went and I knew exactly what I wanted to order. I ordered the prawn and the golden mustang roll. Before our sushi arrived, we were brought soup and edamame (which I had ordered). The soup was not as flavorful as I had hoped. But I was too excited for the sushi. When they arrived, the overall appearance was beautiful. I snapped a picture. Both rolls were without a doubt SUPER FRESH. But I have to say, I’ve had better sushi before. I was a little disappointed about the bland taste.

This place is awesome! Came here during lunch and the hostess were really friendly and good. They give you miso soup and salad before you get your food which was a surprise. The hakuya sushi tasted very fresh and something I’ve never had before. It’s very unique from different sushi restaurant. I will definitely recommend this to everybody.

Really great sushi! My first visit and I will be returning.
The waitress and the chef were both very friendly and attentive.
See you soon!

Japanese Sushi joint owned by Korean chef, you are greeted with a blown up pictures of the owner/​chef and Trump, which is disappointing, but who’s there to judge? I’m just here for some sushi bro. Place was pretty packed on Friday night and I though to myself «Damn, this place is way too packed for a first date», but no time to fire from the hip so we get seated rather quickly and take a look at their menu which is pretty extensive with Korean/​Japanese Cuisine. We agreed on the seafood pancake and Sashimi plate which was plenty for 2 people. And they were pretty good. Place can get little loud and it wasn’t really a place for a first date but I did get a second date so I guess it was a win-​win?

This is my absolute favorite sushi place in the area. Not only is the sushi menu extensive, delicious, and always fresh but Chef Chuck is so awesome and friendly. The staff remembers regular customers.
Each meal comes with complimentary miso soup, salad, and edamame. Love this place!
I’m not kidding when I say my boyfriend and I are regulars… We find ourselves going at least once or twice a month. We both agree that this is the freshest sushi we have ever had. I have never had a better spicy tuna anywhere else nor have I tasted a fresher salmon. Even the water is great… It is a lemon water that goes perfectly with sushi.

5 custom rolls for take out, fabulous. The nicest, most attentive service you could ask for. Miso soup gratis. This will be our go to take out sushi restaurant in the burbs, oh if it was only closer to home!
Not a fancy place, but what a sushi bar should be, about the fish and preparation.
Thank you.

Okay, so I’m back and I’m so glad to be. I ordered the Sashimi Salad, Fried Salmon Collar, and Tamago.
Sashimi Salad has a kick to it and full of bursting flavors that won’t be forgotten. I truly love this salad. If in case you’re not a fan of spicy food, don’t be afraid to tell them. They may make it to your specifications. What makes this dish is the combination of sauces to the salmon and tuna and the crunch of the cabbage/​salads. This is also great with white rice. I’m already full.
Tamago is always bomb. The sweetness of the egg by itself is awesome already. No need for rice but, also good with.
For my main course I ordered an appetizer, Fried Salmon Fish Collar. OMG! The taste of this dish was just amazing. This was cooked perfectly, crunchy outside and the meat was super moist. It wasn’t overcooked at all.
My dinner came with the perfect taste of Miso Soup and Salad. I’m stuffed! I’ll be back again before moving on to the new area of Chicago.
Fun Facts: the chef’s love for cooking came from his mother at a very young age working in their family restaurant business.

I enjoyed a delightful little lunch here at Hakuya. I was in the area for a couple meetings and had a hankering for some Ramen. I didn’t have enough time to read the reviews, but with a 4.5 star average I figured I’d give them a try.
I was sat at a table right by the entrance which was fine by me, especially since I was dining alone. I was glad it was a table for four so I had enough room for my laptop to get some work done while I eat. You should note that they have free wifi! You just need to ask for the password.
My waitress and the rest of the staff were great. They have a very large menu with awesome lunch specials. I definitely love my sushi, but was dead set on a hot bowl of ramen. The waitress did inform me that their ramen noodles were instant, but my mind was too made up to pick something else. The good news, was that a bowl of their spicy ramen came with your choice of one of four sushi roll options. I went with the shrimp tempura.
They serve lemon water automatically, so if that isn’t your thing be sure to ask for regular. I was pleasantly surprised to be served a complimentary cup of miso soup and a side salad. Sweet! Both were delicious.
Of course the spicy ramen I had was nothing compared to the authentic ramen I’ve had elsewhere, but I’m glad my waitress informed me prior about the instant noodles. The broth was really tasty and definitely spicy. I love spicy foods so ending this meal with a runny nose was cool with me, but if you can’t handle the heat I wouldn’t suggest this! The shrimp tempura roll was a very good addition. It’s wrapped in seaweed, and I prefer just the rice, but it was good nonetheless.
The cherry on top of all of this is that my bill was less than $ 9! Miso soup, salad, spicy ramen, and a shrimp tempura roll for that price is insanely awesome. I will definitely be keeping Hakuya in mind the next time I’m in the area. Thankful as always for my Unilocal app.

Checked out Hakyua Sushi for lunch on Sunday. Interior is simple and clean but a bit dated. This place is actually connected to MaMa House which is a Korean snack type restaurant. Actual sushi bar and restaurant are small with limited seating but it wasn’t too busy on my visit. Bathroom was clean, had plenty of air fresheners. The odd thing was they had the hand soap on top of the toilet?
I ordered the A-​2 combo which consisted of 6 pcs of nigiri sushi and shrimp tempera roll. Miso soup, salad, and potato croquet was also included. The potato croquet was delicious. Sushi was nothing special. Shrimp tempura was drowning in sauce a bit.
Overall average to above average food and average ambiance. Would come back to check out some of the other rolls and specials.
