Aki Hibachi & Sushi Bar in Bolingbrook Offers Fresh Food, Entertainment at Your Table

Bolingbrook's newest restaurant is Aki Hibachi and Sushi Bar. 

The restaurant opened recently on 1296 W. Boughton Rd., near the intersection of Weber Road and Boughton Road. 

Unlike many of Bolingbrook's other restaurants, Aki is not a chain. Owner Song Zhang started working in his parent's restaurant in Oswego for 13 years. When his parents decided to retire, Zhang decided to open his own restaurant in Bolingbrook. 

The location is great, and "Bolingbrook doesn't have a restaurant like this," he said. 

Zhang called on several of his friends to man the restaurant, including chefs he said have worked in restaurants in Manhattan, NY. 

"They have many, many years of experience," he said. 

The quality of Aki's food sets it apart from other restaurants, Zhang said. 

"Everything is fresh," he said, from fresh scallops and steak to tuna and salmon. 

Aki Hibachi and Sushi Bar offers entertainment, as well as fresh food, Zhang said. A chef cooks your food in front of your table, making the restaurant great for birthday parties and special occasions, Zhang said. 

The restaurant has specials that change weekly. Aki might also have a happy hour in the future, Zhang said. 

You can find the restaurant's full menu at akibolingbrook.com.
