A neighborhood sushi counter in South Elgin, Illinois — where the chef still works the bar, the fish is cut to order, and all-you-can-eat starts at $24.99.
Nobu opened his counter on Randall Road with one rule: he'd stand behind it himself. Every service, every knife stroke, every plate that leaves the bar passes through his hands.
We buy from the same two purveyors every week. We break down whole fish in the morning. Nothing sits pre-sliced under plastic. When you order the sashimi, that first cut is the one you eat.
Come sit at the bar. Ask what's good today. That's how this place works.


Shrimp tempura inside, eel & avocado over the top, eel-sauce brushed.

Baked spicy crab lava atop California, torched to order.

Deep-fried spicy tuna & salmon, three sauces, one very hungry lizard.

Ora-king salmon, cut to order, per three-piece order.

One fish, one sauce, rice or greens. Simple and clean.

Our neighborhood signature — ask the chef what's in it tonight.
All guests in the party must order AYCE. No sharing, no boxing. $0.50 per leftover piece — we cook it fresh, please finish it fresh. Dine-in only.
