Q Sushi Bar & Omakase — Restaurant in Lake View Township

We sat at the bar and did the omakase for $99 per person. Two people. We have eaten sushi everywhere from Kyubey in Tokyo and Nobu to sushi go round and spots throughout the US, and of course Costco.

Food review dish by dish at the end.

Service was good. Filled our waters and tea quite quickly. A bit awkward trying to peak into our bowls, but generally satisfactory service. They also made it seem like the mochi ice cream at the end was “on the house” when it was clearly in our omakase.

Atmosphere was not what we expected. Rap music with curse words. Shots for the workers and bar folks. Not quite the atmosphere we expected, but that’s just from our experiences, it was a bit off putting.

Food wise, everything was adequate. It was a decent amount of food. The quality of the fish was okay but the fish wasn’t made to be the star. The rest of the review focuses on the food in more detail.

The biggest overall disappointment was that the fish really never got to shine through (other than being able to eat the sashimi on its own), but it could’ve definitely used a bit more plain or very subtly accented nigiris. All the dishes had quite a lot of sauces and add-ons.

Aside from that, the devil is in the details.

Some dishes were over salty such as the shrimp with hollandaise.

Some dishes had unnecessary components (black cod with caviar, didn’t need the caviar).

The omakase was also not quite what you’d expect from omakase, all the nigiri (and all their sauces) were side by side touching.

We had the following dishes (each with our one comment review): snow crab with wakame and cucumber salad with a broth (great starting dish, nice a fresh)

sashimi (don’t remember the type of fish, was good but not particularly memorable)

black cod nigiri (one piece on rice) with caviar, could not taste the caviar but the black cod was really tasty, just felt like a waste of caviar

mushroom miso soup - really rich for miso, really enjoyable, a couple mushrooms were really garlicky which we love but be wary of that if you’re not a fan

sashimi aside a wasabi sauce and an uni shooter. Sashimi was a tuna, salmon, and hamachi belly. One of our hamachi belly had a bone which was very unacceptable and we’ve never experienced, but we didn’t complain. Fish was pretty good. Wasabi sauce was really good though really took away from the fish. Would recommend having some with and without it. Uni shooter was too strong, we ate the uni out of it to try to enjoy it for what it is.

nigiri dish. Shouldn’t have had all of them right next to each other with all these sauces. One fish with ao nori very similar to nori potato chips if you’re familiar. One salmon belly with a mayonnaise dish which was good but really tasted like the seared mayo salmon from Kura sushi, kind of a shame since this fish is a lot better. Shrimp/prawn nigiri we were really excited for, shrimp sushi should be fresh and sweet, but unfortunately this was just salty due to the hollandaise and the shrimp was lost. Lastly, otoro (tuna belly) was good but the garlic pickle did not add, would rather it had been on its own with the nicely seasoned rice and served on its own.

tuna on tuna, spicy tuna roll topped with tuna, very good and as expected. Good amount of spice.

hand roll - pretty good, not the open coned shape hand roll we expected but still pretty good it had maguro tataki.

lastly mochi, sweet potato, peppermint chocolate, and black...

Food was delicious but I’m leaving a negative review because the restaurant denied my wife’s disability accommodation which is illegal and violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Here’s the story: my wife has an invisible disability which requires her to have a medical alert service animal. It’s a small dog that is easy to transport. He doesn’t “look like” a typical service dog. The service animal is still crucial in a medical emergency for my wife’s condition. We came in and at first they said we couldn’t dine inside because of “the pet.” Her service animal is NOT a pet. He’s medical equipment, the same as a wheelchair or oxygen container. My wife told the hostess and manager that they couldn’t deny him (the service animal) entry, and they said “let me talk to the manager.” They then lied to us and said there wasn’t any space inside (there was) and that we’d have to wait for the patio to open up an outdoor table. We gladly waited and the food was absolutely excellent.

However, the restaurant lied to us and then denied us entry into the restaurant because of a medical service animal. I know that some people don’t like dogs, and maybe they don’t “believe” that someone has a “real disability” if they haven’t met anyone with a disability that you cannot see. Still, this is NOT OKAY. People typically don’t lie or fib about these things just to bring an animal (that would be illegal). So in the end the restaurant treated us with respect and consideration while dining just like any customer. But underneath it all they lied to us and denied us entry with the service animal. Picture what it would be like to deny someone with a wheelchair space in your restaurant, this was the same thing. I hope next time you will do better and treat people with disabilities more fairly. You actually don’t have the right to deny someone with a service animal a space to eat at...

Me and my partner had our 6th year anniversary here, wanting to try something delicious since we were recommended this place. We told the the staff ahead of time in our reservation that it was our anniversary. The first half of our stay was great, food was coming out at a decent pace along with it being very good and just no complaints. Until we both finished, the server came over and asked us if we wanted anything else to eat. Spending already over $100 we said no at first and then he proceeds to judge us for what we got so far and not getting more. So that made us pressure into getting something else, which we didn't want because we were full already. While we ate here, there were two birthdays going on, both got free desserts. Once we actually got the bill, for one we were surprised we didn't get anything before the bill since it was our anniversary, and secondly, when we checked the bill to see if we got a discount or anything off at least, nothing was done. It was the full price as if it was a normal dinner stay. We were quite disappointed as the other two peoples events were honored, ours was not. By the time we left, they didn't say any goodbye to us, just ignoring us. We felt like we were treated differently compared to the other customers within our dinner stay, and it felt like we were rushed for a good portion of our meal. If the service was better, then I would rate this higher, but unfortunately, they didn't honor our special day like they did to the...
