“The food was great. A terrific interpretation of Japanese favorites for the local neighborhood.“

“I called ahead on a Tuesday for their dinner reservations, we were told they weren't busy that night so we went ahead and made the one hour drive just for their sushi and their great reviews. We had the best experience and their sushi was truly top notch. We basically ordered everything on the menu from sushi, caviar to desserts and drinks. they did not disappoint, customer service was superb. The owner even came outside to attend us, he showed up with his own bottle of sake. I truly appreciate the great experience we had at this beautiful and clean restaurant. I have nothing bad to say, the food was high quality and extremely delicious. I definitely recommend this location, even if you have kids which I did. We left so happy and satisfied, loved it.“

“We went here for our anniversary this year! This omakase is unique compared to other ones we’ve done. There’s a mixture of hot dishes, sashimi, nigiri, and custards. All were really delicious and meticulously presented and well thought out. We also did the sake pairing which was fun and really good. On top of all that the service was phenomenal and Chef Shoji was so kind and wonderful and it was amazing to watch him work. Highly recommend!“

“30 years I’ve been going to Sai Cafe. Quality has never changed. Always the best.“

“So much to love. Many tasty options and it's BYOB!“

“My favorite place for sushi. A hidden gem of the neighborhood. Nice and hard working people. Food is very good. Highly recommended!“

“Really enjoyed this place. Ramen seemed priced fine for the amount you get, very flavorful. Nigiri was very fresh, buttery soft. It was more expensive but well worth it. Some of the specialty sushi dishes would be more doable with a group of people so can try a little of everything for a more reasonable price. Definitely would come again.“

“Some of the best sushi my girlfriend and I have had in Chicago. Never had a bad meal!“

“We loved all the tropical plant life at Poke Okie Cafe

It really set a relaxing mood.

I got the 3-scoop poke bowl, it was thoroughly delicious!

My hubby got the roasted duck rice bowl, good but very dry.

We both got a Hawaiian sunshine smoothie- Big Mistake!

No, seriously.

They were amazing, but very filling. We could have gotten one and shared it.

Go to Pokie Okie!

“I came by for the lunch special recommended by a friend and it’s 3 rolls, 2 pieces of sushi, and miso soup for 15 if you dine in! I like that the amount of rice they use is less most other places so I can actually taste the other ingredients. Their sweet potato tempura is nice and crisp when eaten fresh. Will come back“

“Wow. It's simply impossible that fine dining could be this fantastic. Tashon, Jens, and Jackie rolled out the red carpet so amazingly, you would have thought our last name was Bou. Sebastian behind the counter was simply breathtaking. We've had omakase at some of the world's leading places in Miami, in Seattle, in NYC, and Tokyo, led by folks who were trained by one of the global icons, and I have to say that Sebastian's ability to create absolutely new and inventive tastes and flavors - while adhering to simple and gorgeous presentations - was simply unmatched. While Sebastian was working his magic, the rest of the team was working hard to make sure every other part of the experience was simply flawless. Water? Always full. Cocktails? We were always asked about how we enjoyed each one well before each was empty, by the expert mixologist who was able to explain the difference between how American mint and Japanese mint can enhance the flavor of certain beverages. Plates? Cleared instantly. Feedback welcomed by the chef? Absolutely. The energy level is not “watch me make your next item while the brightly lit room cowers in awkward silence” - like so many high end omakase spots. This experience is more like “Do you want to be sad when your dinner ends because you don't know when you're ever going to feel this happy with a meal?” There's so much more I could say, including how the effective background evening vibes by Utah's legendary DJ Ta-Salmon made us want to sing each employee's praises. As MJB once said, it truly feels like this team is a family, and it was a Family Affair. Concluding, let me say what MJB would - when you go to Sushi by Bou at Fulton Market - Leave your stress (and hunger) at the door, so when you step inside, you'll see what's in store. Sigh... I know every review is supposed to have one “constructive critique”, but we can't find a single flaw in our entire experience. Thank you, Sushi by Bao team!“

“Sakura was a cozy restaurant with really good Sushi, we enjoyed our time there! 😊🙏🏻“

“I PURCHASED CHEF FRANCO'S SERVICES AS A XMAS GIFT TO MY GRANDSONS!! HE WAS WONDERFUL!! CHEF FRANCO WAS VERY PATIENT WITH THE BOYS. HE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING STEP BY STEP ALL WHILE GIVING THE HISTORY ON SUSHI !! AS A ADDED TREAT THE BOYS WERE ABLE TO PREPARE DESERT!! I CHEF'S VERSION OF A ICECREAM CAKE !! ALL THE FOOD WAS FRESH & DELICIOUS!! CHEF FRANCO WAS ALSO VERY PROFESSIONAL. 🤗. WE DEFINITELY WILL BE BOOKING CHEF FRANCO AGAIN!! BESIDES MY GRANDSONS WANT TO EARN THEIR STEP TWO CERTIFICATES!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHEF FOR A SMALL OR LARGE PARTY.“

“I wish I took pictures so you can see how great the food looked but I went right in to eating being selfish to your needs for a proper review. The service was amazing, the wagyu choices were top notch. Today was their grand opening and they did not disappoint the wait. Price is great for all you can eat.“

The service was excellent, the place was super clean and cozy, and our food arrived really fast. Everything tasted amazing fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We were genuinely surprised by the quality and overall experience. Definitely a must-try restaurant trust me, it might become one of your favorites too!“

“Upscale, elegant atmosphere. Outstanding cocktails.“

“Delicious food and fabulous service!“

“First time ordering. A very good experience all around. The takoyaki was delicious. Wasn’t sure what to expect but they were soft and flavorful. The eggplant was mixed. Not a fan of the sauce and the texture varied from slice to slice.One soft, others firm and the skin was impossible to cut and chew. The pork belly was okay. Not enough ginger flavor came through and the pieces could be cut smaller. The salads were yummy.“
