Sagano Japanese - Barrington

We had heard good things about this place and decided to try it. When we entered, there was a private party in progress. We were told our only option was take out and that it would take an hour. We agreed to that, ordered, and came back an hour later. Our food was ready and we returned home. The Canada salad was a lump of cooked salmon with a ton of mayonnaise on top of greens. I despise cooked salmon and was assuming it was raw, so I can’t tell you more about that because I didn’t eat it. The wasabi shiu mai tasted like ground pork with no seasoning: so boring I gave up after two of those. The rice in the sushi was dry and undercooked. The rolls were boring; no imagination in their construction or their seasoning. So disappointing! The fish itself was fresh and good, so at least that was decent. All in all, we were seriously underwhelmed and will probably not be back.

To the person who said slow service, there is only 3 people who work there, they are working hard trying to feed a full dining room, i love this restaurant i have been coming here since i was a baby, literally, they have great service, great food, for a great price, if your willing to pay the price they will give you excellent service, this place is a home to me, they have become my family, i wish all of the staff the best of luck and a good bright future. Vegetarian options: They have gluten free soy sauce and imitation crab so im sure theres alot of stuff people can have Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free soy sauce and it is awesome! They are also super clean without any cross contamination! Parking: Behind the catlow!

Sagano is definitely underrated ? my fiancé and i came here for his birthday. It was very low key and there were only 2 other tables in the restaurant that had people at them.... This place definitely deserves a lot more credit. The service was very respectful and helpful when suggesting dishes and drinks. Once we got our food we were definitely surprised by the portion size as they were quite big. The food was so good and tasted fresh. We will definitely be back

True gem, chef Lee and his wife are a local treasure.

This place is a great hidden gem. The fish is high quality, tastes great and worth the price.
