Recently Yucca Asian Cuisine Restaurant opened it's doors in Orland Park. Having searched for quality sushi across Chicagoland, we were anxious to act on the tip that Yucca has really good sushi.
In that Yucca offers both Chinese and Japanese dishes, it's kind of one stop shopping for Asian food.
On our visit we sampled the California, Philadelphia, Spicey Kana, Spicey Tuna and Spider rolls. Judging from those rolls we feel this is some of the best sushi we've eaten and compared to other Sushi restaurants, it is more reasonably priced. Yucca offers a lunch special consisting of two rolls, soup and salad for $9.99. It's enough for two people to share. Lunch for $9.99.... for two. Are you kidding me? We also tried the Shrimp Teriyaki which came with steamed vegetables and rice. Delicious.

The room is tastefully appointed using clean lines. Without over-doing the Asian theme it presents a Zen-like feeling of ease and comfort. The "spa" music adds to the relaxing vibe. The spacious bar is modern and accommodating.
The Maitre'd, Paul's willingness to please is natural, not forced. He actually appears to enjoy his job as well as the patrons. His understated charm adds to the entire dining experience. Because it was my daughter's birthday, Paul made this special dessert consisting of tempura bananas and an assortment of ice creams. This complimentary dessert was accompanied by a birthday song.
It's good to have dining choices and now Orland Park and the Southwest suburbs have another fine choice in Yucca Asian Cuisine.
