Best Sushi Restaurants in South Barrington

We very much enjoyed PL8 and plan to return. The food was very good, and the service was attentive. The vibe is fun and a bit eclectic. The owner engaged with us which was a nice touch. The one thing that would help is better descriptions of the ingredients and prep in each menu item so that guests have a better idea of what they’re ordering. My husband ordered a dish he frequently chooses at other Chinese restaurants, and the prep and ingredients at PL8 were much different than what he was expecting. The dish was good, but not what he’d had in mind.

My girlfriend and I had reservations at 6pm and we got there on time and were told there was still a 25 minute wait. Aside from that and not being served for 20 minutes after being seated, it was a delightful meal and a very nice waitress. She made great recommendations as it was our first time trying sake and dining at this restaurant!

The food was way better than I thought ! Delicious , quick and great service

Me and my girlfriend had a wonderful time and the food was great as always. Only drawback was today’s fried rice was a little dried out, but nothing a little extra soy sauce couldn’t fix. Can’t wait to come back!

These days, with inflation driving up the cost of everything, it’s hard to find a good deal. But at Shabu-Yo, you get unlimited fresh vegetables, beef, pork, and seafood—plus a great selection of ready-made dishes and desserts. On top of that, the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The overall value you get is well worth the price. Highly recommended!
