"I don't ask much from my sweet and sour chicken only that it satisfies my once a month craving. I know that I won't be presented with big chunks of chicken like I remember from my youth on the East Coast, so I've become accustomed with the low ratio of chicken to breading situation. Zen Asian Bistro was no different in that regard; however, they did hit the mark on the flavor of the sauce and the variety of vegetables that came with the dish. Lunch time gets you salad and an egg roll as well. It was well worth it and the food was delicious and the service was attentive. Plus, it's always nice to have the option of ordering sushi, which i did partake of a California maki (roll). They could've rolled me out of their dining room after stuffing my face! I'm surprised it wasn't busier."

"I took my wife out for dinner at Montira Restarant located in Glenview at the Glen. The customer service was very good. Unfortunately, as soon as we ordered our food, we realize that this meal was not going to be very good. The tea was not very good and lacked any flavor. The Teriyaki beef was extremely overcooked. My wife had shrimp dish. Both dishes lacked any flavor. Both entrees tasted like they were missing ingredients. I would highly suggest that the owner start tasting the food before it is given to customers."

"Sushi was delicious. Way better than Papajin. Grand Caribbean and Red Nori rolls were really good. My friend got the teriyaki with which I think he was satisfied. Drink selection is lacking, but there is a Walgreens right across the street which serves alcohol."

"9/2/22 update: A sad state of affairs. We order and had it delivered. Something happened that I can't explain. The food, almost overnight, has gotten horrible. The menu is different, and the dishes that are still on the menu are totally different. Checkout my new pictures. The seaweed salad is a container of lettuce with a small amount of seaweed. The cucumber salad was similar, lettuce with plain cucumbers with a strange ginger dressing. Next up, the asparagus beef rolls were half raw, as you can seein the picture. The sushi rice tasted different making the sushi not taste good. And, hopefully you've read this far becausehere's where we stopped and threw the meal out. There was a bug in my Hawaiian roll. It did not look like it was fromHawaii. Must say, we will not be eating here again. We are all so disappointed because this was one of our favoriteplaces. Update: I guess I go here to much. They recognized me from before. Still great service still great food. Prices haveincreased, but where haven't they. Our new favorite sushi! Delivery time is sometimes long, I guess we aren't the only ones whothink it good. The tamago came presented like 2 hearts. Clever. Prices are great and quality is too. The aloha and ca rolls areespecially tasty. I've only had takeout, so I'm not sure about dining in the restaurant. Update: Went for lunch during theweek. The restaurant has a nice feel to it. It's comfortable inside and they have a few tables outside on the sidewalk/ in thestreet. Service was good, it wasn't busy when we were there and the staff was attentive, but not overly. And if course the foodwas terrific and we'll presented."

"Forgot to post this on Wednesday night. Me and a best friend went there for dinner. It is his 1st time there I've been there before. The restaurant is small and it's fine. You can see the chefs making the sushi. The music was low but you can still hear it. For starters we had drinks. I had the pomegranate martini. My friend had the mango margarita. Both drinks were amazing. Then he had a Japanese beer. We order edamame as a starter. The main course we both ordered is Boston Maki (Tuna and Avocado) it was amazing. He orders the Fire Dragon Maki (Tempura Shrimp, Avacado Wrapped w/tuna and topped w/spicy shrimp, scallions, and sweet sauce). I order Dragon Mski (Tempura Shrimp, topped w/unagi, avocado, and unagi sauce without the mayo). The chef's special was Toro (Fatty Tuna). The service was great. Our server was nice and friendly. For sure we will be back."

"Nice place! I had the spicy stir fried udon noodles and kappa maki rolls, and my friend ordered the turtle roll. I loved the presentation, and the food was delicious. Great service as well. Will definitely go back!"

"We are definitely coming back my good long time friend Pat inviting me to experience her restaurant. Do to COVID restrictions and shut down it was not possible. Now that my husband and I felt more comfortable we come to try all her delicious plates. We had two tables filled with such amazing and delicious food. I will invite all my family and close friends and clients to experience the high quality of service and hospitality. Beautiful ambiance and delicious cocktails."

"We had an 8:30pm reservation and when we checked in the place was full. Not sure why so many tables where available on open table if it was this full. We didn’t get seated until around 8:50pm. Luckily, the waiter brought us a couple beers on the house while we were waiting and when we got seated they gave us a free edamame. The waiter was amazing (such a hard worker). Overall, we had a great time. I recommend this place to everyone. Amazing food!"

"Have been here several times for the Shanghai menu but honestly might not be coming back in a while. The food is rather authentic and so it really helps to come here when I miss my hometown flavors terribly. The menu carries lots of traditional and “real” dishes which is what we love and crave for. However, lately the quality has been inconsistent. The fish 熏鱼 and the pork 红烧肉 are both soft and tender one day, but hard and over-cooked the next. Soups can be super bland one day and way too salty on another. We have tried to put in notes when ordering (e.g,. Less spicy/salty) but felt that they were never honored. Overall, it feels a bit “try your luck” each time. The other thing is that sometimes when you order ahead the person who answers the Wechat messages can be a bit rude… finally, it can get a bit pricy if ordering seafood (crabs especially) and from the Shanghai menu only. We’ve been here 5+ times and it’s always been $200 or more for 4 people. In short, I truly have mixed feelings for this place and wish that the quality can be more consistent. If that can be achieved we’d be more than happy to make this place the go-to for every occasion."

"Full disclosure, we did not stay for food and honestly, they may be good but were having a very bad day. It was incredibly hot outside and when we arrived, their A/C was on but struggling mightily. It was very hot in the restaurant, which is not something you really want when they 're serving raw fish. They had a couple of fans on, but it was not really enough. We were sitting there for about 10 minutes with nobody coming over to us (we were one of two tables occupied in the space) when someone walked to the door and put a sign on it. They did not say anything to us about the sign. We sat there for another couple minutes before one of our party looked at the sign and saw it said Cash Only. System Down. Based on that, the fact they didn 't feel the need to check in on us or alert us to the cash only update, and the heat, we decided to go elsewhere for food."

"We (my wife and I) have eaten at many Japanese food restaurants. Sai seems like a neighborhood restaurant, no very important looking from the outside. Inside, nice tables, handsome wood panels in back of the sushi making area. Quiet, thank goodness. The owner patrols the dining areas, as an owner should. Superb yakitori, fine sushi and sashimi. All at bargain prices. A real find. Trappfin."

"We had planned to dine in but the restaurant was so loud. There was a large table with people laughing at the top of their lungs! We wanted a nice dining experience but just couldn’t dine in. The take out order was packed nicely and the food was delicious!"

"Slow the day/time we were there (Sunday 4PM), but seems like a cool place that would be busy most weeknights. Great sushi and sashimi. Good options for maki as well. And the miso soup hit the spot, recovering from a few too many beers the day before. Server was maybe distracted/bored because we added to our order and she showed up with the wrong thing, twice. But the bill was accurate and it didn't take long to correct the order. Worth going again when it may be a bit more lively to really test ambiance (clean and hip seeming, but add ppl and we'll see)."
