SHAKOU IN PARK RIDGE??? OK!!!!

We go to Shakou in Libertyville a few times a year, and LOVE the ambiance, food, and service. Shakou Restaurants have been named in the Top 100 Hot Spot Restaurants in America and in the Top 10 Chicago Asian Eateries by Open Table. Shakou in Park Ridge their 4th location they opened, followed by Libertyville, St. Charles, Barrington, and finally their most recent location Arlington Heights.

Eddie and I sat at the bar waiting for our table to be ready, and for our friends to arrive…I love their bubbly glasses

We ordered 5 rolls: (????)

I must say…the black rice is a favorite of mine! All of these rolls were so good and very easy to eat…all I can say is one of these is the spider roll with black rice, can’t really tell you which one it is-it may be the one in the middle.

The place was packed, and our server was overwhelmed. We were busy catching up with our friends, we didn’t mind the wait so much….at least until we needed water, so we just helped ourselves. She was very apologetic, and gave us a free dessert for the slow service….ok twist my arm to eat a dessert lol. All in all, this visit with the slower service wont stop us from coming back, as long as the food stays consistently amazing….
