“ Came here for a birthday dinner on Tuesday evening. The restaurant was well lit, there is ample parking in front and the decor was welcoming. Once inside we were greeted by the staff and seated right away. The menus are clear, and there are pictures of the different selections on the walls. We got the coconut shrimp, crunchy melt, golden lobster and Chef Supreme. The coconut shrimp was crunchy, tasty and I wish there were more in the order. The crunchy melt was a surprising favorite . Loved everything about the Chef Supreme, I'd gladly have it all again. Side note, I appreciate the extra dressing in my salad . The soup was tasty as well. Had a highball and it was delicious. The interior of the restaurant was clean, bright, welcoming and the staff were all amazing. They checked on us and made sure everything was good. Made us feel welcome. I will visit again when in the area, it was such a great experience. ”
“ What a hidden gem! Has to best sushi spot in the suburbs. Every single roll was amazing and fresh. You can't tell from the outside, but this place def has a charm to it. Lovely staff, kind and smiling faces. All around a wonderful experience. One note: We had a young gentleman server the entire evening ( didnt catch his name), he left before we had a chance to pay our bill tonight, but we wanted to make sure he got the 20 tip for his excellent service. The lady said he'd get half :( She took the cash but didn't take bother taking the dirty plates off our table. :( Hope someone reads this and gives the young man the full tip he deserved! ”

“ My personal opinion they deserve better than 5. Very very attentive and the food was better than unbelievable. Not everyone has a taste for expertise, and the art of sushi takes a little more than an average skillset.. believe me, I have a Culinary degree and believe these guys deserve to be noticed... Ramsay eat your heart out.. come to mount prospect and check these guys out... you will not be disappointed pics to follow.. large menu selection with a Drink menu.. what more can I say.. come check it out!!! ”
“ When you walk in, the whole place has another family owned restaurant vibe to it. Their menu item prices are very affordable for the quality of the food and service they provide. They have drinks menu as well. I tried their Philadelphia roll(the best for some unknown reason) and white lotus. Both of them are good they are rather fast and very attentive as well. The place is well known and the attention and care they deliver to every customer is unmatched! ”
“ Ari Sushi is hands-down one of my favorite spots. The vibe is on point—relaxed, welcoming, and perfect whether you’re dining solo or with friends. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to help with recommendations or walk you through the menu. The real standout, though, is the food. I make it a point to try something different every time I visit, and Ari Sushi never disappoints. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can tell they care about quality in every detail. If you’re looking for a place that gets it right from start to finish, Ari Sushi is it. Highly recommend. ”
“ If I could give this place 10 stars I would. This place focuses on high quality, fresh sushi. I would consider myself a sushi expert. Been to Japan over 5 times. This place has the highest standards I would compare to Japan. I'd highly recommend this place to everyone, you won't be disappointed. We wanted to try everything and the server did a good job with their recommendations. Esp for the location. I felt like there are not many options for high quality sushi in the suburbs. The pictures itself shows how well they prepare each dish. ”
