"For many years, Chicago-area diners seeking well-made Japanese food knew the Northwest Suburbs were the place to be. The city’s offerings have grown and improved over time, but suburban spots like Sozai Banzai set the bar high when it comes to traditional bento and homestyle staples like oyakodon, kitsune udon, and curry rice." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
