Tokio Sake - Deer Park, Illinois

I really enjoyed my dinner at Tokio Sake. I ordered a volcano roll, and it was enough to
feed two people. The quality of the food was 5 stars! The presentation was artistic, and my server was attentive. The restaurant was very full on a Saturday night, which is a testament to the place. I had not eaten here before but will definitely come back! The ambiance is very nice as well. Great dining experience 👌

Unique, beautiful, and FRESH sushi creations. Be prepared to be wowed by the sushi's presentation here. Most of the specialty sushi rolls are huge and are meant to be shared. This is one of our favorite sushi restaurants in the area. My poor pictures don't do justice to the size and beautiful presentation of the dishes. Service is just okay, and our food was sitting for a while before it was brought to our table. Besides that we would come back.

Excellent food and service. Not a big place, but cozy atmosphere. We had 5 people for my birthday. Glad I got reservation. We got a semi private booth that surrounded our table. Everything was top notch. I got the miso soup, edamome, pork dumplings and the Dear Park roll which was fantastic! Then I had the marshmallow moshi green tea icecream for desert.

We had dinner here on a weekday around 7:30 pm. Awesome selection of food and good ambiance. The restaurant is interesting and has a good mix of decor. I loved the black rice roll and the ginger dressing salad. They had a matcha cloudy saki which I'd never tried before and that was a treat! Clean bathrooms, warm welcome- I highly recommend this little spot.

We've been going to Tokio Sake since my kids were young. (Definitely over 10 years now).
They, IMO, have the BEST sushi around. They will add, remove, substitute if you wish and always have specials. The other places in Barrington or any of the surrounding towns, charge more and one place (which is well-known with multiple locations) hasn't changed their menu since they opened, their fish doesn't compare and they keep raising prices and zero changing or adding to a roll.
Tokio Sake is amazing and nothing compares. Took a friend for the first time who lives in the city and he was blown away! Loved it and will be returning as well.

We frequent here often and love their sushi. The nigiri pieces are large and there is a wide selection of specialty rolls. Some are massive. Our favorites are Ocean Drive, Volcano Roll, Black Tiger and my personal favorite (all cooked) is the Tokio Dragon roll (we swap out the potato crunch and ask for tempura crunch. SO good!). The Japanese Truffle Salmon and Hamachi Wonder appetizers are absolutely phenomenal and we order those two every time. The fresh ginger dressing that comes w/ the Tokio Salad is so freakin delicious too. My sister prefers hot dishes and she has enjoyed every hot dish off the menu as well. Staff are great and the owner is the absolute sweetest. It's always a joy to see and chat w/ her when we can. =) It can get expensive but to be fair, we order a lot of sushi. Lol

This is by far, one of the best sushi spots in the area. The cocktails are great, especially the Japanese Whiskey Sour. The menu has plenty of options for everyone. The fish is high quality and so fresh. You must try the Japanese Truffle Salmon, it melts in your mouth. The Spicy Tuna Seaweed Salad is also another solid dish. The rolls are also fantastic. Actually, I've never had a dish I wasn't pleased with. Great customer service and lovely ambiance. You better go check it out!

this little place is quite a gem! my friend suggested we stop in for dinner so we did and WOW it was incredible. everything we had was so delicious, flavorful, and fresh!! our server David was very tentative, and super sweet. thanks David!

we got the golden shrimp as an appetizer. i wasnt sure what this was going to be, but we had a go for it. you have to get this! the shrimp was perfect- had a nice char grilly taste and was swimming in this amazingly delicious “golden sauce”. 10/10 totally recommend!!!

first off, i love hot sake. its my go to whenever i have sushi. this was the best sake i have tried hands down. im not sure what kind it was but oh my gosh it was so good

then i got a spicy tuna roll, and the black panther roll. im an absolute sucker for spicy tuna rolls, and they are my go to every time. this was honestly one of the best spicy tuna rolls ive had. the black panther roll was good too! i have never experienced the black rice before. it was very yummy!

my friend had the shrimp and scallop dinner. i got to try it and it was seriously so delicious. i recommend this dish too 10/10 will definitely order that next time! the scallops were so tender and flavorful. she said it tastes just like a steak, and i honestly agree. it came with rice and some veggies~ SO yummy!!!!
