Reviews for Shakou Barrington in Arlington Heights, IL
It’s good but not great. The martinis are awesome, the other drinks have too much ice. The food is pretty good but nothing... exceptional. Good environment, especially in the summer. Read more
One of my favorite restaurants in Arlington Heights. Black widow sushi roll is a must try.
Located at the heart of Downtown Arlington heights, Shakou is in a very lively location. The food was excellent, starting with... the Egg Rolls, the Sushi and the beef/rice entree, were all excellent. Read more
Never disappoints! I love requesting black rice on my rolls, so tasty. If you haven't gone on the weekend, be wary how busy and... loud it gets. It's more club like and it's hard to hear each other at your table. Read more
Okay, first off, the atmosphere is sexy, chic and really nice. Toss a nice outfit on and enjoy an evening out. Cocktail to try:... Pear Martini or Sakitini. Apps to try: Salmon Carpaccio (to die for), and Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice. Due to COVID, they tooksome dishes off the menu, like the Bacon Wrapped Scallops. That app was my absolute favorite. But, they have plenty of otherdelicious items. For Maki Rolls, get the Niku Niku. I am drooling, just thinking about it! If you love sashimi, definitely getthe Chef's choice- Kaze. You get 10 pieces of assorted fish, perfect to share. Prices aren't cheap, but you are paying forquality and the experience. Treat yourself and go try it out! Read more
Never had sushi in my life until my wife brought me here. I'm now hooked on sushi. I'm very picky and didn't know what to... expect. From the flavors and texture and sight, I liked everything. From spicy to mild, there's a taste for everyone. Very cleanrestaurant and friendly staff, it's enjoyable to sit and have drinks and a great food. This is my go to place. Read more

Black Widow roll (scallop roll comes with a black rice) $22 - Lobster roll (serving is beautiful) - $26 - glass of the whitewine Overall: would highly recommend going here for an occasion not for take out.

Food is mediocre at best especially the sushi. You can find far better sushi at a cheaper price. The atmosphere and the drinks... are really nice. You pay for the atmosphere not the food. Read more
