My wife & I had a wonderful evening at Todoroki! We arrived early in the evening and so we had a hibachi table all to ourselves, which was cool! Overall the portion sizes are huge, the cooking is fun to watch, and the food is delicious. Pro Tip: A 20% service charge is included regardless of your party size (at least for the hibachi). It makes sense, but I wish it had been called out better, as I almost double-tipped!

Went out for solo dinner in Evanston during a campus visit to Northwestern. This place was conveniently located with EXCELLENT food. It was easy to make the reservation, the staff service was SUPERB, and they made it easy for me as a solo diner to get seated for hibachi! Highly recommended.

Tonight’s dinner was good. I went with the steak hibachi and it was delicious 🤤. I also had the tiger roll sushi which was also on par with most sushi 🍱 locations I have eaten at. The atmosphere was clean and very pleasant. The service was okay but was lacking a little. Being one of only three others inside the restaurant, getting a server was a struggle.

When I first came here about 10 years ago the food was very good including the hibachi and sushi. Recently the sushi has really been downgraded it just tastes bland and extra chewy spicy tuna use to be awesome now it's ehhh I will be ordering sushi from other places for my money. I've tried a few times just to see if I got a bad order but no the quality has downgraded. Service Delivery Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50

Review update: I was very confused about the cash discount, when I ask waitress, she was very inpatient and ROLLED HER EYES…… OMG…… I saw that…… (for more info to restaurant owner: that was an Asian girl, skinny and darker skin tone. Not racism just want to describe who she is) New knowledge: Buffet means there are some rules for ordering. Totally different from “all you can eat”.

It is important to review your bill for informational purposes as you might have already been charged for a tip. We ordered a hibachi meal for two, which cost $88, and a couple of side dishes. After including tax, our grand total came to $119.61, and there was an additional service charge of $21.60. The complete total was $141.21. Upon noticing this charge, I inquired about its purpose, and I was informed that it was a gratuity for the chef and waitress. However, I had already tipped the chef $10, and I had intended to leave an additional tip for the waitress until I saw this charge. When I asked for an explanation, they clarified that it was a tip intended for the services provided. Apparently, the $88 for the meal for two people, along with the cost of the sides, was not sufficient to cover the expenses of the cook and waitstaff. Upon expressing my concern, they refunded the charge, and I ended up leaving a $13 tip for the waitress. Once again, it is advisable to carefully examine your bill, as you might have already paid a gratuity. This charge was not mentioned on any physical menus we received, and we did not see it listed online. However, when we contacted the establishment again to address this issue, they assured us that it is a standard practice. Therefore, I recommend being vigilant with your bill, and if you wish to leave a $45 tip on top of a $100 bill, please feel free to do so. That is approximately what we would have left had we not reviewed our bill. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+ Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Gyoza

My favorite sushi place in Evanston. They have ice cold beer!!!! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
We have been coming here for over 10 years at least one or two times a year. It’s a great time and we enjoy the experience. Sadly my small family of 3 went out for dinner on 12/16/23 and the experience was very disappointing. We made reservations at 530pm and we were told it’s important to be on time so we arrived at 525pm. We were promptly seated with menus and within minutes a server arrived to take what I thought was our drink orders. Mind you we had no chance to look at the menus. When we gave the drink orders she just looked at me. I asked do you want to take our dinner order now? She said yes! Again no time to look at the menu but because we do eat here often we are familiar with the menu. I did ask for a sushi menu which did not come until after we placed our order. They accommodated my gluten issue stating they cannot cook it on main grill due to cross contamination which I appreciated. Drinks came quickly and soon it was show time. The presentation was grand as always. Food was served in the usual fashion and my gluten free meal was served last, not an issue. We maybe had 5 minutes into eating our entree when they came out asking if anyone wanted to go boxes. Everyone at the table said yes and within minutes the boxes were handed out, while we are still eating. There is no room to put the to go boxes while eating. So there was a balancing act going on. Soon after the check appeared so it was a clear indication they wanted us to leave. So, as I put the 3 plates of food into the different boxes which is always the case so no issue. I got around to the check. To my surprise there was a 20% service charge! This is the first I have seen this at this restaurant and it was not on the menu, however keep in mind we had no time to look at the menu. I was in shock. The total bill for 3 people with the service charge was $171 with no alcohol and 2 appetizers of sushi. As I was considering to add additional tip or not I was asked to move to lounge in a different section because they needed the table. I told them I was not lounging! We spent at most 35-40 minutes for a rushed and expensive meal. It was not enjoyable. I was completely disappointed in everything. You cannot do this. It’s not right. You need to post on the menus additional charges. I checked your web site after the fact and could not see anything. You need to allow people time to eat their meals and not be rushed out just because you want to flip the table. I appreciate the fact you need to make money but 35 min for $171 for three people is a lot of money. I waited this long to write a review, which I seldom due, because I wanted to ensure my feeling where sound.
