Kegon Japanese Restaurant
569 Waukegan Rd, Northbrook, Northbrook,
Incredible place. The cook the food right in front of you, and the chefs make a complete show out of it. As for food, your best bet is to get one of the combos on the menu. They come with soup, two types of meat or seafood, and friend rice. While a little on the pricey side, you get a really good value, not to mention delicious food. The service is generally quick and pleasant, unless it's a really busy night, such as around holidays.

Tonelli's Restaurant Incorporated
1038 Waukegan Rd, Northbrook, Northbrook,
Tonelli's pizza is the greatest in the world. My family loves it! Of course, this all depends on how you define a great pizza, and for me Tonelli's is it. I love the thin, crispy crust, with just a hint of a few blackened blisters underneath. The sauce is generous, with excellent oregano and basil seasonings and more than a hint of garlic. The cheese on top is always baked until bubbly and slightly toasted, to really bring out the flavor. An excellent thin crust pizza, produced consistently for many decades now. As you can tell, I'm a fan of their pizza, and we usually get salads too. The rest of the menu is OK I guess (Americanized Italian food), but the pizza really shines. The crowds of families on Friday and Saturday nights makes this a really popular place.
