Tsukasa of Tokyo - Vernon Hills

Delicious, classy and fun, a group of elements not commonly found together at most restaurants, Tsukasa has all three. The décor is crisp and modern, the vibe of the place is celebratory and alive, starting from the large bar that warmly greets you at the front, to going on towards the back where the restaurant has well over 40-50 Teppan cooking tables spread out across several large rooms, which on most nights, all seem to be going at full capacity. Tsukasa is one of those Japanese restaurants where the chef prepares the food in front of 8 guest Teppan style cooking table. The key to success at these places is that the chef must be both entertaining and skilled in his cooking. The food is really amazingly simple, or so the chef makes it look anyway, the Teppan table is basically a giant stainless steel griddle on top of which rice and veggies are stir fried by the pound, onions go turn from volcanoes into choo-choo trains, butter flies through the air (butterfly), airborne eggs cleave themselves into perfect halves on shinny vertically held spatulas.
