    I absolutely loved our experience here. We did the 12-piece omakase for Chicago Restaurant Week and I’d definitely do it again! The ambiance really sets the mood for an incredible meal. Favorites bites included the hotate, toro and wagyuni. We also ordered hand rolls which were fantastic.

    Great seasoning! The ingredients are pretty fresh too. The portion is very small, even with several extras, we still need a burger after . Probably it’s about 60% size of the other fine dining sushi restaurant. I remember 2 yrs ago the portions were not as tiny as this one.

    Not worth the price at all, sushi tasted fishy and rude service. Maybe a restaurant week experience but it was shame. Ended up feeling very ill after this dinner, heard other omakase in the city is better

    Loved the experience. We’ve been trying to make this happen but our schedules got in the way. The food was great. The ambiance was comfortable chill and laid back. Definitely a place I would want to go again. Perfect for a date night or to celebrate an intimate birthday or anniversary. Everything I thought it would be.

    All of the courses were up to the highest standards of freshness and quality. The amount given with that price is awesome considering it’s very affordable for people who are avid sushi lovers and want to increase their taste. 10/10 would come back again
