My wife and I went to shakou for Easter dinner. Had a wonderful time! Great environment, terrific food and our waitress was outstanding. This is a fantastic place to have a great drink and delicious food, not to mention the and customer services was a cut above the rest. As soon as we enter the restaurant, the hostesses were fantastic… welcoming, smiling and inviting. What made the evening even better was our waitress, Nattaya. She was terrific, very professional, provided great recommendations for food and provided outstanding customer service. We will definitely be going back, as well as bringing our friends.

Cute place, good food, yummy cocktails, and very nice overall. I definitely recommend the Blackberry Mojito over the Japanese Mule as the mule is a bit tart but still good regardless. The Pink Panther roll was delicious. I absolutely loved it. Great place for a quick bite or even well enough for a cute date! I highly recommend checking it out

If you’re looking for a really good food, nice atmosphere, really good service and don’t want to break the bank, Shakou is a great place.

Came last night for the first time and had a great experience. Our server was very sweet and food was delicious. Excellent pear martini!! Black widow roll is excellent and the sashimi was fresh. Would recommend spicy tuna on crispy rice for the app – only critique of that would be to make it a little crispier so easier to handle (kept falling apart).

I honestly don’t know why this place is so popular! Maybe I was unfortunate enough to visit on their worst night ever? Sushi was meh, comparable to store bought sushi at best. My husband got chicken fried rice and it was bad! How do you mess THAT up? The hostess was rude, we had birthday reservations, but waited too long for our table and then stuck in a spot next to a door used by the staff to the patio….. air conditioner was on full tilt. Atmosphere was noisy, cold. The staff was overwhelmed, rarely saw our server. My guess is that if someone opened a really good sushi restaurant in downtown Arlington Heights (with valet parking cuz there’s NO parking) this place would be toast. So very underwhelmed and disappointed.

I heard mixed reviews about Shakou in the past. Had a gift card for here so thought I’d try it out with my husband since we both love sushi. We both had the miso soup for an appetizer which was standard miso, nothing special but still good. I had the salmon and avocado roll and the Black Widow roll – and WOW the Black Widow roll was one of the best rolls I’ve had in a long time. The black rice gave it such a interesting but awesome texture and the little sauteed scallops on top were a wonderful touch. Will definitely be returning here again!

We went here with a gift card we received as a gift. The food was excellent. The prices were to be expected given the location, etc. It took just a few minutes than I expected to receive our food. When it did come it was delicious. My only complaint was how loud the music was. Other than that it was an enjoyable dinner.
