Good Sushi

Living in the area, I’m always on the lookout for a good sushi restaurant. I have a couple that I go to, and they are good enough to satiate me.

This place though. The ambience is beautiful. The wood and gold is just so pretty. The lights are low enough to be romantic, but not dim enough that you can’t see what you’re eating. There is also a second floor that would be perfect for a girls night out. Secluded and private.

The fish. You come to a sushi place for the fish. It was exceptional here. It was so buttery and smooth. I couldn’t stop eating it. And I wasn’t even sorry I didn’t share. The cuts were generous and thick. I was told the chef goes every morning to pick out the fish, and you can tell. It is top notch. The spicy tuna maki was so damn delicious. I didn’t take a picture because we ate it too fast. Next time!

The dumplings could be a meal of their own. Juicy meat filling dunked in a chili sauce that juuuuuuust leaves a tingle on your tongue. Fabulous!!

I wouldn’t say it’s the best family restaurant. The space is small and intimate. Perfect for date nights and girl friend dates!!!
I will be back for carry out and date nights. I’m so glad it is so close to my house! It’s a great addition to Lincolnshire.

Nobu is the only other omakase restaurant I have been too and Good sushi was an even better experience than that! The atmosphere, price, fresh ingredients and excellent staff were all things that stood out. It gave off a fine dining feel without the over embellished feeling one can get from other fine dining establishments.

The appetizer was an amazing way to start the meal. I was presented with shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, an oyster shooter and giant homemade dumpling in a delicious broth. Each component of the dish complemented each other and enhanced its counterparts. Every aspect could stand alone and be amazing but I was shocked to see how well it all worked together combined. My favorite had to be the homemade dumpling. It was prepared perfectly and helped bring out the fresh combination of ingredients.

The sashimi platter was the next course and was fresh and delicious. It was hands down the freshest and best quality sashimi I have had in Illinois. I am going back here just for this, it was so good!

We finished off the meal with a filet. I know what you're thinking, steak at a sushi restaurant? YOU HAVE TO TRY IT! It was cooked perfectly and like everything else here, was prepared to let the great ingredients be the star. Anyone who doesn't like sushi or fish will be impressed to come here and order one of the best steaks they've ever had. It was served with a roasted sweet potato, I was stuffed.

I would recommend this hidden gem to anyone, definitely will be back!
