Jurin Japanese - South Elgin

Took The Fiancee here for lunch. She had the salmon and scallops combo, I had steak. Alejandro did the cooking. We love this place. Good food, reasonable prices, excellent service.

Regular hibachi spot. The waitress was ok. We had to wait for a while in-between service and we had 5 people. The sushi was great. The hibachi was middle of the road. The sake was too hot; it burned myself and another person I was with. 6/10 overall.

Excellent food, service, and price. Went during lunch and it was very busy but they didn't rush us and had excellent service. I don't think my drink got to half full before a fresh one would be brought out. All requests were promptly take care of and food was great. Truly exceptional.

Been coming here for over 15 years. Probably no more. Expecting no crowd since it was minus 5 out, with a 30 mph wind. I was correct, no one waiting, and 2 hibachi tables prepped and open. Was told an hour wait. So we went to the sushi bar. First 30 minutes, 2 tables remained open. then some guests were shown and seated. A few minutes later , 2 table left, and now 3 were open. Our entire time there, 2 tables were always open. At the sushi bar, soup and salad immediately. barely a chance to try the salad, the fried rice came. Almost right after, the entrée. Table was completely covered with bowls and dishes. Not sure how long the food was sitting in the back, because I've watched how long it takes to grill. Rice and vegetables were cold. Shrimp was cold, and the filet was raw. Mushrooms? I scrapped my plate in search of, found 3 slim slivers, when piled on each other, wouldn't have made half a mushroom. Vegetables looked like they were leftovers from another table. The experience and food was terrible. Not why you go to a hibachi grill. When I explained my experience to the manager when we left, he stood there like a bobble head. In the past, not a lot of options. And we are loyal to a good service and good food. Now, there are other options to go.

Hands down the best hibachi restaurant in the state. I don’t eat hibachi anywhere but here. Sometimes the waiters underperform but I don’t hold that against them as young kids just want a paycheck and tip. If I could give more stars I would
