3.0 of 5 stars. Todai is overrated- in my humble opinion. Or at least this one in Schaumburg. I've been to Todai in Seoul, Korea and that was an intriguing experience- great food and creativity! I guess for the...

They're money hungry people that work there or maybe it's just the company. They charged me for being there and I didn't even get to eat. My husband and son did, but I couldn't and they still charged me!!!!...

I've been here for both lunch and dinner. While you'll save a bit on the lunch buffet, I think it is worth paying extra and going for the dinner buffet. The dinner buffet has a lot more options and I ...

Why do you need so much food in one place?

This place offers a huge variety, but the quality is very mediocare. If you are planning to go there to eat sushi, my advice to you - do not! Spend another $30 bucks per couple, and go to a decent place.
