Sea Ranch! They have a little place next door to their fish shop to sit now, it's not big on atmosphere, but it's impeccably clean. Their sushi is the best I've had, and the other Japanese noodle and rice bowls are good too. I'm sorry I can't give you an exact address, I don't know the area well, and just drive there to go to Yaohan and Sea Ranch. regards, trillium

Order the Pollo En Salsa Verde and of course a margarita or three. Yu's Mandarin 200 E. Golf, Schaumburg - very good Chinese O'Grady's Brewery and Pub 372 E. Golf, Arl.

How about LA Tasca in downtown Arlington Heights for tapas and such. Very good place (I'm a Spanish teacher). The is also a restaurant on Roselle Road near Euclid, west of Harper College called Embers Charhouse (I believe) that has pretty good food, but the singing waiters are the draw! Hope this helps.
