What a wonderful ramen place across from the Millennium Park in Chicago. We came here for lunch on a Saturday and got a nice table with natural light. Their ramen is generous in portion (delicious but I couldn't finish it) and beautifully presented. Their poke bowl is also very nice. The place is casually but tastefully decorated (not upscale but inviting). Clean toilet is a plus!

Restaurant was recommended by a local. They seem to be very short staffed. I was seated in the front and only saw one waitstaff for the first 20 minutes. Another waiter came by after 30 minutes and apologized for the wait as he'd been in the back with another party. He was very nice. I was finally able to order and they were out of certain food and drink items. My food arrived after about 10 minutes. The pad Thai was very fishy tasting and lacking other flavors. The vegetarian mega roll with black rice was really good. 3 stars given long wait time; lack of food items. Pad Thai gets 2 stars. Mega Roll gets 5 stars

One of the worst and bland Japanese food I've had in my life. Although the staff were friendly, be aware if you're expecting authentic or even decent tasting food.

I brought my daughter here before seeing the symphony for a special night in the city. The food was OK. I had the sushi burger because it sounded interesting. The taste was good near the top, but it was very awkward to eat, and the flavors near the bottom were not so great- very bland in parts because there's not a variety of flavors like there is on the top of the sandwich.

Totally our first time dining at this restaurant. Ordered several Maki Rolls: California Rolls x 2, Dragon Roll, Shrimp Tempura Rolls x 5, a Philly Roll, Spider Roll, and a Spicy Tako. Asked for a House Salad and a Thai Iced Coffee, too. Food taste - 4 out of 5 Stars Food portion - 3 out of 5 Stars Food quality - 4 out of 5 Stars Food prices - 3 out of 5 Stars Table Service - 4 out of 5 Stars (House Salad was forgotten initially) Overall Rating - 4 out of 5 Recommended for some of the rolls and definitely the Thai Iced Coffee!!! Portions are kind of small, though. We had 5 Adults in our party, so 11 orders of the rolls seemed like an ample amount of food for all of us in our party. If we wanted, we could have honestly ordered a couple of more rolls, but we were full enough and satisfied with what we ate...

I was pleasantly surprised by this spot. The poke was large portions and very fresh, sushi was good and service was friendly. For a medium priced, casual option for families I would definitely recommend!

I'm really disappointed because this used to be my go-to for sushi in the city. My friends and I went to this restaurant last week and while we were eating a child vomited in the back of the restaurant and down the hall to the bathrooms. We notified multiple staff members because it was next to our table and they did nothing for a long time. They "called the cleaners". During the time before the cleaning people came the staff was walking THROUGH, not even around the vomit, and tracking it all over, even into the kitchen. It was disgusting, especially for a restaurant. I don't even care how good the food is after that disgusting experience and I hope that next time there is an issue like that the staff cares more about cleanliness.

Incredible place to have a fine Asian meal prior to the symphony! Everything was amazing. Today it’s our pre-jazz dinner celebrating the Year of The Dragon!

House salad with lychee was our favorite part. Sushi was average in taste but very filling. Food took a while to arrive, but was plated very nicely with good attention to detail. The prices were great, especially for downtown Chicago. Good ambiance, no loud music blaring, not overly crowded in the evening. We were seated promptly and the waitress checked on us frequently. Overall it was a good experience.

Lately the food they serve here, I can’t say for others looks and taste like leftovers scraps; especially with my To-go meals which I end up trashing.Also they have a lady up front managing the restaurant for years and all I can say about her: she’s amazing and loves her job.Please guys do better with the food so it don’t backfire at you guys should the health officials make a visit that’s if those ones even function in Chicago. Also one time I came in and they had a little fire incident in the back visible for all clients to see which was taken care of but the staffs had a terrible disposition especially the male server and one slim female server that just drops things on your table without curtsy. But I keep coming back because of that lady upfront and the convenience of location.
