Shakou Arlington Heights

My mom and I came here for my birthday dinner and we were so happy with our experience! Beautiful restaurant in a wonderful spot down town! The food and drinks are presented beautifully and taste fantastic. My favorite had to be the lamb appetizer! It was perfectly cooked lamb on the bone with some yummy couscous underneath. They had many different sushi rolls, and the salmon nigiri was nice and juicy. Next time I would definitely want to try more of their appetizers, they looked so interesting! Sushi was good, but it is probably just as good as some rolls elsewhere (possibly for cheaper). Our server was fantastic and very kind to my mom helping her pick out a drink! She loved the pear marti...

The service was not terrible, but just not great. Everything about this restaurant was simply: meh. The food: okay but not great at the prices they charge I would expect more. The service: mediocre nothing terrible but just average. We are outside and the high top tables are super uncomfortable. But inside it's super dim and the music is loud. They can't decide if they are a restaurant or a night club. It was an interesting experience, glad I gave it a try but I won't be back. It just isn't worth the prices they charge. If you are in Chicago, go get some food at Del Seoul in Lincoln Park. Better Bulgogi at half the price.

Robin provided us with a fantastic service experience! The salmon avocado roll and volcano roll are soooo good but the Black Widow will blow your mind! And the Ferrari Carano Fume Blanc wine was delicious too. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
