Sagano Japanese - Barrington

This restaurant is a true hidden gem. The fish is of excellent quality, tastes wonderful, and is well worth the price.

The Japanese cuisine here is incredibly authentic, and I could easily enjoy a meal here every day. Service: Dine-in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50

I've been visiting Sagano since it opened over 20 years ago, and they serve some of the best sushi I've ever tasted—it's even superior to some sushi I've had in Japan. Service: Dine-in Meal type: Dinner

Absolutely amazing! The food is incredibly fresh, and the service is outstanding.

I dined here at the sushi bar for the first time this year (Saturday night, 11-9-2024)! I usually order about $100-$200 of take out! It was a GREAT experience! The main dining room was PACKED, so thankfully, I had the sushi bar area to myself! Anyway, for appetizers, I had the Golden Lobster, Golden Shrimp and Shrimp Shumai Dumplings (which were so pillowy soft and delicious)! Then for entree, I had a Salmon Skin Handroll, Spicy Tuna Handroll, and a ton of nigiri: Uni/Sea Urchin, Salmon, Fatty Salmon, Tuna, Fatty Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Mackerel, Ikura/Salmon Roe, Spicy Tobiko/Flying Fish Roe, and Tamago/Scrambled Egg! My total bill was $190!!! It was well worth it because I had the sushi bar area to myself, got to watch these cool blues videos on the flat screen TV, and have a nice time talking with Owner/Executive Chef Mr. Lee! I will, of course, be back for more awesome sushi! By the way, you can only dine in on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights! You can do take out on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights! They're closed on Mondays!
