Friday: Sushi Ya in Schaumburg
Restaurant: B+
Staff: A+
Food: A
This is my second time coming to this restaurant, and I can't wait till I go back again. This Japanese restaurant is a bit small, so we got stuck by a table near the door and felt the cool air every time the door opened. However, don't let this stop you from going to the restaurant. The sushi is beyond delicious. Although, they have a vast array of food options to order from, I have only ordered the sushi. And it has never let me down. Best sushi I've had in the suburbs by far! :) The Fire Crunch Sushi is a must try (far right). I also got the Tiger Sushi (middle) and for an appetizer- along with the miso soup and edamame they give with every meal - I ordered a Spider Spider (far left). On top of that, the staff is very helpful and kind. They help you decide on what to order and their recommendations are great! 
Saturday: Udupi Palace in Schaumburg

This is a restaurant with South Indian cuisine. I went for dosa's. I don't really like potatoes, so it was kind of difficult to find a meal option without any. However, I was able to find one dosa without potatoes! :) Usually that doesn't happen. The Cheese Dosa (right) was great, but I wish they had different dipping sauces to along with it instead of the regular coconut and sambar dips. I also had the Udupi Chaat (left) which also doesn't have potatoes for an appetizer. It was the perfect mix of sweet and spicy! I would definitely order that again. Both of these items had very generous portions. The staff was a little overbearing. They were just standing a couple inches from our table, from the moment we walked in until we ordered. It kind of rushed us to make the order. Even after we ordered, it seemed like someone was popping in every 5 minutes or so to make sure "everything was okay" or we had enough water. I found it a bit annoying. On the other hand, the restaurant is quite spacious, so we were able to have a seat at a table far away from the door!
Sunday: My Sweet Kake in Schaumbrg

This cute little shop is family owned, and their cupcakes are all advertised with pictures of their kids eating cupcakes. They were adorable. The restaurant itself is spacious and very colorful. However there was only one worker at the store, so service was a bit slow. The cupcakes are ready to order, but the drinks took her some time to make. The cupcakes speak for themselves! I got the Red Velvet Cupcake. Not only do they look mouth watering, but they taste equally as good. I also ordered a Mango Peach Smoothie. I was a little hesitant because I thought the cupcake taste would ruin the smoothie taste. I was wrong. The smoothie was very fruity! I could definitely taste the mango and the peach. It was a little icey, but it hit the spot!
