My favorite neighborhood place! I’ve had many good nights with friends here. The food and staff are so amazing! The perfect spot for Chicago winter nights! Ramen and sushi are amazing!

Came here on a Tuesday evening with a party of three. We were seated promptly by the friendly wait staff. Their fryer was broken so we didn’t get a chance to try anything that required it. The seaweed salad, cold tofu with bonito flake sauce, and the various rolls were excellent! I finished off the meal with some fantastic red bean ice cream with the anko topping. Definitely recommend trying this place out!

Been looking everywhere in illinois for a Japanese restaurant that has Japanese speaking people to practice but couldn’t find any until I went here. The most friendly atmosphere and real Japanese food that makes you feel like you’re in Japan. It’s a little pricey but honestly worth it. Even outside of my Japanese bias it’s still my favorite restaurant right now.

Authentic Japanese Cuisine. No mango, cream cheese or avocado in your sushi. Real food, great experience.

Visiting Chicago for work and was looking for authentic Japanese food. This place blew away my expectations. It's the best and most authentic Japanese food I've had since I moved back to the States from Japan. A must-visit and will definitely be back on my next trip through.

The food here tastes like what I imagine authentic Japanese home cooked meal to taste like. My favorite udon place to go during the winter.

Tonkatsu was very nice and crispy. The eel in the eel rice bowl was a bit cold and the bboo they used for plating had many holes in them which made the rice fall down through the hole. While not a lot of rice still doesn’t feel great to waste, easy fix that I recommend they take. Miso soup and salads were good. Seems pretty authentic compared to a lot of other japanese restaurants and there were a lot of asian customers there. They’ve been around for a long time but the store feels pretty cozy and home style. The price point was pretty high but overall experience was not bad. Food was served in 5-10 minutes. I would revisit but not very frequently because of the price point.

Maybe my favorite place for Japanese food in Chicago- very homey atmosphere and great for homey Japanese food, like grilled mackerel or sanma. They also have solid sushi, curry rice and tempura, but I always come here for teishoku and their little bites like the ginkgo nuts and agedashi tofu.
It tasted excellent, nice and peaceful atmosphere, and the service was excellent.
