Sagano Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Barrington

This may have been the worst sushi experience I have ever had. The sushi arrived to our table as though it was squished together in the hands of a toddler, and the order for Ikira (Caviar) was spoiled or extremely poor quality, the taste was sour and way over salted. When I informed the waitress of our experience she did not offer any sort of compensation but just handed us the bill. Only when we refused to pay for the spoiled sushi did she remove one of the Ikra rolls; in order for her to remove both of the rolls from our bill, I had to clarify that the sushi was so terrible that I had spit out the first roll into a napkin and did not eat the second roll. After paying the bill I requested to speak to a manager, and was told: "No, we don't do things like this." The waitress than said she would pass on our dissatisfied feedback... Since I knew that an interested manager would probably not ever hear my feedback, I demanded a phone number. I was than directed to the owner of the restaurant. After explaining my terrible experience to the owner, he did not seem to acknowledge that his establishment had provided less than poor service, but did offer an impassive apology.

In short and realizing that everyone is entitled to a bad day... If you would like to enjoy a nice sushi dinner, it may behoove to check out...

I dined here at the sushi bar for the first time this year (Saturday night, 11-9-2024)! I usually order about $100-$200 of take out! It was a GREAT experience! The main dining room was PACKED, so thankfully, I had the sushi bar area to myself! Anyway, for appetizers, I had the Golden Lobster, Golden Shrimp and Shrimp Shumai Dumplings (which were so pillowy soft and delicious)! Then for entree, I had a Salmon Skin Handroll, Spicy Tuna Handroll, and a ton of nigiri: Uni/Sea Urchin, Salmon, Fatty Salmon, Tuna, Fatty Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Mackerel, Ikura/Salmon Roe, Spicy Tobiko/Flying Fish Roe, and Tamago/Scrambled Egg! My total bill was $190!!! It was well worth it because I had the sushi bar area to myself, got to watch these cool blues videos on the flat screen TV, and have a nice time talking with Owner/Executive Chef Mr. Lee! I will, of course, be back for more awesome sushi! By the way, you can only dine in on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights! You can do take out on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights! They're...

Such a cute place for date night!! Colors are so vibrant yet the place is so low key and cute they are so nice and attentive. The service is a bit slow do to the master piece they come out with. The dishes are so well put together they don't just throw the sushi on a plate and call it a day the presentation is key and they are so good at that. Now let's talk about the dishes... They are so delicious! The fish is so fresh so vibrant, the taste is like no other the portions are big, we usually order alot because sushi sizes can be so small but in here they are big portions so hopefully you have a huge appetite. I love sushi and have gone to so many places but I find the small businesses to be more worth the money and they are definitely worth it . Drinks and dinner with my love was so romantic in this place after a hard day at work we came to unwind and that's exactly what it felt like in here.. It's perfect for families,date night or just for a couple of friends out for drinks and...
