Noburi Sushi is Chicago's North Shore premier and top quality Japanese cuisine and sushi. This wonderful establishment is owned by Noboru Nakamura who originally came to New York from Tokyo and then came to Chicago in 1988. He was previously the President of Akai Hana in Wilmette and left to open Noburi Sushi two years ago.
His very fresh ingredients (I can't stress enough how fresh the food is.) come from wonderful vendors from his previous relationships at Akai Hana. The menu is made of very traditional Japanese dishes and are not Chinese or come from any other Asian culture or cuisine. Freshness and quality are very important to Noboru.
His clients consist of families, business people, High School students who bring their parents, Toddlers, Senior Citizens and friends who get together for lunch. The establishment is immaculate and one can eat off the floors. Noboru waits the tables himself and says that customer service is highly important to him and to the employees.
They were featured in the Pioneer Press on May 6, 2010 in an article that was written by Lee A. Litas which speaks highly about their quality and prestige within the community.
The future may hold another restaurant and possibly some additions or substitutions to their menu.
Noboru is very well versed in the cuisine of his homeland and loves customers who understand that his establishment is strictly of the Japanese cuisine (so there is no fried rice, crab Rangoon or chicken cashew) and those who ask for suggestions.
The menu includes vegetable appetizers such as goma, edamame, vegetable croquette and vegetable tempura. The meat appetizers range from goyza, yakitori to Kara Age and a Beef Teriyaki Appetizer. They offer great teriyaki offerings such as chicken, chicken and vegetable to Chilean Sea Bass Teriyaki. There are also different entrees such as chicken cutlets, Vegetable Tempura Oyster Soup and Sukiyaki. They have noodle dishes, various salads and of course countless sushi offerings.
For dessert, they have ice cream, Mochi Ice Cream, Mochi Daifuku and Cheesecake.
This author had the pleasure and privilege of trying the goyza, Chicken and Vegetable Teriyaki, the white rice (which was GREAT!!)the salad with carrot and ginger dressing and an unbelievable piece of cheesecake.
Noboru Sushi is just an absolute wonderful treat and great staycation to Japan. I highly recommend a trip with your family or friends.

Senoya Restaurant in Niles, IL: Asian fusion with a Korean Influence
BK and Sunni Jeon have owned Senoya in Niles, IL for twelve years and previously owned a great Asian buffet dining destination in Missouri. They met in Seoul, Korea where Sunni was a nurse before getting into the food business. Asian buffets are wonderful because the customer has the opportunity to sample different items and have an opportunity to learn what they like best.
Senoya offers a great buffet with a salad bar, sushi, appetizers and Asian entrees like chop chae, Korean short beef ribs, sweet and sour pork and three different rice offerings such as sticky white rice, red beans and rice and stir fried rice. They also offer Korean chicken and pork which were just out of this world.
All of the products and ingredients are seasonal and fresh. None of the dishes that are served come from the can and the produce is very fresh that is provided by some of Chicago's top notch suppliers.
One of Senoya's great attributes is that they offer catering and parties. They are able to accommodate parties of up to 150 people or more (with no room charge) and if you're in a party of 6 or more, they highly suggest that you have a reservation on the weekends. Senoya is much more upscale because they have great servers who help to take care of the customers and offer American and Korean beers and wines. For catering orders, they need two days to put the order together for their clientele.
The clientele is mainly Korean but they also have alot of different people who come in and dine with them.
Their son Peter and daughter Irene are working on a Korean Taco take out concept that will be launched in the near future.
There are no present plans to franchise or expand, BK and Sunni are going to help their kids with the new Korean Taco venture which sounds very exciting and will add a different flavor and concept to Chicago's dining scene.
Word of mouth is the marketing method that they utilize and is working very well for them. They're really busy and have many return customers. They also offer American and Korean beers and wines.
Some of their specialties are their steamed dumplings and the Korean BBQ. The crab rangoon and egg rolls are delicately well done. Alot of their customers are able to try the Korean delicacies when they partake of the Chinese and Japanese offerings.
The items on the buffet are rotated for seasonal freshness and the items change all of the time
The price range is as follows for Monday through Friday: Weekday lunch is $8.95, an early bird special of $11.50 from 3:30pm - 5pm and weekday dinner for $12.50.
For Saturday, Sunday and Holidays, they offer a great price of $12.50 that also includes a drink.
Senoya is wonderful stop because it offers a great pan Asian buffet with a great Korean influence for all to try and savor in a very clean and immaculate environment.
