I love tsukasa so much that I make the drive from Evanston to go there. The food, in my opinion, is much better than that of Ron of Japan and Behihana and while it is a little pricy, it is cheaper...

Call it, "Beni-hana on steroids". And as always with hibachi grill - prepare to wait for a table.Tsukasa has a nice decor, but aside from that, it's not all that different than Beni-hana. The prices...

This restaurant has become our "place to celebrate" anything memorable in our family. Grand decor, family friendly, good sushi and killer Golden Shrimp.

I go to Tsukasa for Hibachi, but have also had their sushi a number of times. Their hibachi is the standard by which I judge others, and IMO none have met that bar.
