Chuck and the staff are great. Very nice and attentive without being overbearing. The sushi is great quality, large pieces of fresh fish, fresh vegetables, and the rice is high quality as well. Every meal I get comes with edimame, miso soup, and a salad for no additional charge. I love sushi and have tried many different places in the area and this is, without question, my favorite. The values is unbeatable. You may pay a bit more than some of the all you can eat places, but the quality they serve is worth every penny and compared to the other a la carte sushi restaurants, they are usually a bit less expensive as still better sushi. If I had any complaints,it could be a little bit cleaner, but it is by no means a dirty establishment or gross or anything like that. Also 90% of the specialty rolls have teriyaki sauce and it isnt necessary and if you ask they have no problem making it without. The décor isnt really flattering or anything too over the top and special, but it isnt ugly either. Those are my only very small critiques. I love this place. Go because its the best sushi in town and for the price it is an insane value.

This will be our third visit to HAKUYA. The first two were excellent and showed great promise for future great experiences. Sadly, not today. I dont know what happened except the owner wasnt there, but we got tuna rolls with old tasting dark brown tuna. Spotty service, the rolls seemed skimpy compared to previous and no EDAME which was on the table the previous two visits. The MISO soup was watery instead of rich tasting. In short, pretty much everything was off the mark, and for the life of me, I dont know why. We had great hopes for this place, even though it looks a bit shabby, because it is close to home. I have to say that during the past three months we discovered another place on Barrington Road in Streamwood named MINAMI. This cute little place is so excellent in every respect that it has become pretty much our benchmark, but we still liked HAKUYA until today, so - - - we intend to try this place one more time; - - hopefully when the owner/chef is there. I guess well see. It is so disappointing to experience restaurants that cant maintain their standards.

Worst sushi Ive had in a long time, especially for the money. I ordered a eel Maki and a shrimp Tempura to go and I called back in to tell them they didnt give me my eel. Turns out they did give me eel... I just couldnt identify it because the eel was paper thin and they drowned the entire dish in panko. My girlfriends shrimp dish was mediocre at best and was also drowned in panko. The wasabi was not spicy and tasted like it had dry chunks in it. Also, ordered Ikura (salmon eggs) and they where kinda dry and tacky like they had been sitting out. The seaweed salad was the only thing that tasted as expected. I eat raw fish and sushi all of the time. Someone that likes sushi from a mall kiosk stand or Walgreens might be fine here if you dont mind paying 2x for the same thing but if your a conasour of raw fish dont look for quality here.

Have driven by here frequently but never went inside, outside doesnt really stick out as notable. Now were disappointed we didnt try this place sooner. Very creative food, starting with the water which is infused with lemon, apple, and cucumber (super delicious). Amazingly friendly staff, the owner and chef came out to chat a few times. Prices are extremely reasonable, cant recommend highly enough. UPDATE: Been coming here off an on for awhile, and I think I can say now that its the best sushi place I know of in the suburbs. Everything is consistently fresh, and perfectly made. Just tried their kimchi for the first time today (they do have a limited selection of Korean dishes) and I knew right away it was homemade. Have never tasted kimchi that fresh before (and Ive been to a lot of Korean restaurants).

Food was really good. Interior is new. But service was not very good. They only brought 3 lunch menus and 2 dinner menus and we were eating dinner as a 3. And they only included 2 chopsticks. The rice was kinda all over the place. I also think they should add miso soup to the menu because I had to ask them to order miso soup. Last thing is that music was kinda strange. It was more for road radio. They should change the music to something more for restaurant. Some of the servers were nice. Though we only stayed an hour and we got about 10 different servers it was fine. Food came out pretty fast.

I really felt that I had really great quality fish. The best that i ve ever eaten. Also the prices are not bad especially during lunch time. We had the Tuna Poke which i thought was made perfectly and had a great sauce mixed in. Then we go Nigri and spicy salmon rolls. Best ive ever had and 2 lunch combos with tuna poke came out to $25. Also the lunch combo comes with miso soup and a house salad. I would def come back here for lunch. I was very loyal to Sushi Para, but Hakuya is better in my opinion.

Amazing food at reasonable prices. The best sushi restaurant I had tried so far. Chuck offers personal service and his staff is always very courteous and welcoming. The tables are clean and all is organized and in order. I go there regularly for Sexy Lady roll and nigiri, because the fish tastes fresh and delicious. If you live in the area and love sushi, this should be your place to go on the regular basis.

Ive been to tons of sushi restaurants in the Chicagoland area.. even expensive ones in the loop, and this is by far the BEST sushi Ive ever eaten. The balance of flavors was perfect with every single roll, very affordable prices, they use the freshest fish ever, and the staff goes out of their way to make your experience fantastic. I recommend this place to everyone. A+

I cannot say enough about Chef Chuck and the staff at Hakuya. My husband and I sat at the sushi bar to celebrate our anniversary and they did not disappoint! Unique and delicious - amazing salads, and incredible sushi rolls and nigiri! Best sushi weve had in a very long time! Thank you all for a wonderful evening!

My husband and I stopped by for a late lunch with our almost one year old son. The food was amazing. Even more important the staff was extremely helpful and sweet to our son. They made sure he had plenty of miso soup and entertained him while we ate. We will definitely be back regularly.
