I can personally recommend Yurakutei (Golf Rd, just eats of Arlington Hts. Rd.) and Daruma (Golf Rd, about 2 minutes west of Barrington Rd. in Hoffman Estates). Both have very good/excellent sushi and decent service. Sit at the sushi bar at Yurakutei and have a chat with the sushi chef - he's a pleasant guy.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Tasty Cuisine (Elmhurst Rd and Algonquin Rd.). My family has been going there for years, and I can honestly say that they're one of the best Chinese restaurants in the NW suburbs. Be sure to try the salt & pepper shrimp there! Also, Triple Crown in Westmont (in the Diho shopping plaza - Pasquinelli Drive, just west of route 83 on Ogden) is pretty good. They've got decent dim sum, arguably some of the tastiest outside of Chinatown.
Happy eating!

Is the Triple Crown Westmont's dim sum served on push carts or "order by menu"? Arab: There's also The Pita House in Schaumburg on Roselle Rd. Chinese: Cantonese style: (if you like noodle dishes) Hong Kong Cafe - in Schaumburg on Algonquin east of Meacham "Big Bowl" - in the same mall as Kampai Chinese: Mandarin style: Yu's Mandarin - in Schaumburg on Golf Ming's - In Schaumburg on Algonquin east of Meacham -et Felix W. wrote: > > I can wholeheartedly recommend Tasty Cuisine (Elmhurst Rd and Algonquin > Rd.).

Pita House in Schaumburg is quite similar to Pita Inn (in fact I believe there's some family connection, at least that's what I've heard).

On Elmhurst Rd just south of Algonquin there is a place that looks like a small bar called Crab & Things. It is really a nice restaurant with really good crab (& things). I have only ordered the "& things" a few times. The crab is good steamed or chilled and the fish is good. You've already been to most of the places that we go to regularly. Peter Richardson
