Shakou - Arlington Heights

“There truly is no sushi place like this with the ambience and high level of food served. They also have high end "non-sushi" options. The atmosphere is gorgeous inside and they open a whole side of the restaurant during good weather. We saw roses on a personal, tucked away private booth table that would be ideal for a romantic meal or anniversary ❤️ The food is upper level and the service was kind , patient and gracious! - Kate”

“We’ve been here many times and the food is always great! This time was even better, we had dinner along with our 2 year old son and our friends whom we haven’t seen in a while. My son wanted to walk around and wasn’t a fan of sitting at the table the entire time, and Jasmine our waitress, grabbed his hand and took him for a walk around the restaurant several times throughout our meal! She even brought him strawberries and ice cream. She was so sweet and helpful, I hope she is recognized for above and beyond service! Thank you for being so kind, Jasmine!”

“We choose Shakou for our dinner out this week. We had not been here before but the menu looked amazing & it did not disappoint. We had made a reservation for Thursday at 6 but there was plenty of seating at this time. Our server was prompt & helpful, directing me to this amazing Pear martini. Our food came quickly & was so delicious! I like that their menu indicates spicy, raw fish & GF - so helpful. I look forward to trying more dishes on the menu! My only 'thing' was the atmosphere- high top tables in the bar - chairs were back to back, no room to move. Music was very loud but okay & there were many families with kids coming in all night. 🌻🌻🌻🌻❌️”

“Over all the food was great! We made a reservation for 8 pm . The service was very slow . We didn’t leave til almost 10 pm. I think we saw our waitress 3 times total . The one issue I had was our volcano roll came almost 15-20 mins after my original rolls had come out and was almost done with them. I would rather know it was going to be awhile for the specific one. Overall food was good but service times could be way better .”

“Modern pan Asian sushi. I didn’t think the sushi sashimi were outstanding but it was fresh and good. Service was polite and prompt. Food came out quickly for a busy restaurants.”
