Kawa Japanese - Grayslake

So sad what this place has turned into. This use to be our favorite place to go for sushi and Mongolian grille. Now it is a horrible experience. All of the lights weren’t even turned on. The waitress but unpleasant and rushing us out and giving us a time frame after we ordered our drinks. The quality of the food isn’t great. Really sad that this use to be such a great place with an awesome atmosphere to somewhere we will never visit again.

We ordered tonkatsu ramen and it was awful. We ordered this last winter and it was actually pretty good. Something has changed. The broth was an odd bright red color and it did not taste like it was made from scratch. Not sure what’s going on here but we won’t be eating here again.

ALWAYS a delicious treat, no matter which entre, appetizer or drink is ordered. The wait staff is accurate and quick. The owner is friendly and accommodating. There's a group of regulars that make dinner a great experience. A

I’ve been to Kawa many times, and their sushi is pretty good for the price. Especially the eel, the sauce on it really compliments the eel flavor. However, this last time, the rice was not packed well and some of the rolls and every single piece of nigiri, fell apart when i picked it up.

If; could give them 0 stars, I would. What happened? It used to be good.
