I've eaten at more than a dozen sushi places in the Chicago region, and many, many more overseas (including Japan).
Without a doubt, Sakuma makes the best sushi in the area. This gentle man makes his own soy sauce and takes immense pride in the quality of his fish. He refuses to sell anything that is not up to snuff, and prepares the rice and each piece of sushi with pride. His assistants have been highly trained by him and also do a fantastic job.
In addition, Sakuma carries some unusual fish and shellfish (such as awabe) that are hard, if not impossible to find, at other establishments.
Sakuma's is fantastic and is well worth the drive to Streamwood!
Pros: Oustanding fish, Skill, Service
