My husband and I discover sushi junkie the day before my birthday and we absolutely loved it! The design and decour of this restaurant is absolutely adorable and very contemporary. We were very excited because we found our new favorite Asian restaurant in the Oakpark/ Cicero area.
Last month my husband and I visited sushi junkie for our anniversary. My husband ordered some sort of fried combination rice dish and I ordered three maki. The sushi was delicious but there was something hard inside. To my horror there were two staples inside one of the piece of sushi.
We immediately told the waiter and he took that Maki off of our bill. He did not apologize; he simply said that he did not understand why it happened because they do not prepare takeout orders at the sushi prep station. I told him that I understood but my food was contaminated and that they should check the station so that this doesn’t happen to anyone else.
I had a hard time writing this review and I felt conflicted; the food was good and the prices are fair. I actually felt really embarrassed because I did not want to cause a scene. My husband and I will not be back at this establishment. The people that work here are incredibly hard-working but unfortunately I can’t risk biting down on a sharp object. I think (and hope) this was isolated event but it was handled...
Read moreThe food is fantastic and the service kind! My wife and I have been enjoying a variety of Asian foods with consistent quality at Junki (rather an unfortunate name). For me, sushi is the main attraction. The variety, quality, and presentation has been consistently delightful. The salads are well dressed, the soups condimented perfectly, and the fish always tasty. For example, Saba or mackerel as nigiri or in roll seems to me that the chef has carefully cured and prepare the fish as shushi. The server we have had, a mid-age Asian-looking lady (sorry I did not asked for her name) has always been patient and very attentive to our needs at the table. Lunch is a good time to taste dishes from various regions in Asia at a reasonable price. Dinner has been a time for us to enjoy quality of food with families and friends. I do not recommend ordering food to take out, which you have to do through J Wok, the store next door. The food and service have discouraged our business at each experience we had with them. I encourage you to try Sushi Junki, which provides quality of food, great service, in a down to earth setting. Such businesses improve community life and we need to keep them around. Enjoy a culinary tour of...
Read moreI went with my husband and my daughter, we don't know the place, we arrived very politely asking to see the menu, and I don't know if the two people who are there, the waitress and the person who prepares the sushi, don't know how to speak English, they couldn't answer you if they could give the menu, my super kind husband asked for it again and the waitress there who by the way is the most rude and uneducated in the world with a rude tone told us to sit first, to which my husband agreed to sit and I told him what was happening, why didn't they show us the menu first, to which the waitress and the person preparing the food began to speak in their language angrily and the waitress proceeded to throw us out of the place making signs like "shu shu, leave from here", we did not deserve that treatment since we were only looking to see the menu first, we ended up leaving there angry and scared, I understand why the place was completely ALONE, I agree with other comments from the waitress, DON'T GO! He will give you a hard time thanks to his bad behavior, if he doesn't like customer service or doesn't know how to handle it, get...
