What You'll Get
Menus provide diners with a manageable amount of meal options to choose from, ensuring that their overwrought brains don’t end up ordering a plate of seared ketchup. Select from a curated collection of meals with today’s Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of sushi and Japanese fare at Nozumi in South Barrington.
Nozumi, an OpenTable Diner’s Choice restaurant, ornaments tables with small, shareable plates of fusion-style Japanese dishes chosen from five menus. Chefs thinly slice yellowtail carpaccio to intermingle with slivers of jalapeño and cilantro ($14), and lemongrass chicken ($17) squeals under splashes of yuzu cream, teriyaki glaze, and grilled asparagus. Signature sushi rolls transcend traditional recipes with hints of international flavor, as exemplified by the Kokoro sunrise, a blend of citrus-scented snow crab, salmon, and mango chutney ($15). The ceviche roll ($10), with calamari and shrimp cooked in tart lime juice, does the salsa with pico de gallo and avocado, and soy-ginseng braised short rib dunks udon noodles and green onion in soy broth ($14).

About Nozumi
Nozumi’s culinary team of world travelers turns to seasonally available ingredients and their own global palates to create innovative Japanese cuisine. While seated at a high-top table beneath a hushed lighting fixture or nestled in a cushy booth, diners can choose shareable plates from five tapas-style menus or entrust their selections to the chef, who employs a fresh selection of seafood to furl signature sushi rolls such as Rinjin Dragon, packed with shrimp tempura, fresh-water eel, and veggies drizzled in spicy mayo. Non-sushi entrees include grilled tiger shrimp and seared day-boat scallops swimming in creamy basil sauce and fettuccine noodles, and a tuna sandwich anchored by seasoned yellow-fin steak and coleslaw. Guests can also set up shop at the sushi bar or reserve the private Tatami room, designed to accommodate 8–10 people or one very large secret.
