seafood and chicken dishes were using frozen material, rice and seaweed were cheap stuff. Very overrated. Ok place.

Based on other reviews, I had decent expectations. However, the food wasn’t quite right during my visit, the rice split into two chunks when I picked it up and struggled to hold together. I also noticed some resistance when biting into it, which is quite unusual for Japanese cuisine.

The staff was friendly, but the food didn’t live up to the expectations set by the photos in the reviews. The sushi rice in the nigiri lacked the proper texture, and the taiyaki was dry and not at all moist or flavorful.

Pretty decent Japanese place for river north area. I do have to say their food iso n the saltier side. We loved the izakaya selection. Especially their kushiyaki selection! Strony recommended the pork belly and prawn and chicken skewers selection ! Their service was amazing too

Very very nice restaurant with fresh Japanese foods. Good place for drinking and having a talk. Very nice service, great decoration and nice taste of music. Suggest reservation though I didn't wait for a seat.

This was our favorite restaurant throughout our visit to Chicago. The happy hour menu was fantastic. The house made yuzu sake was truly special, couldn't get enough of it.

It’s ok but could be better:
1. The miso soup and some skewers, are too salty
2. The sashimi, doesn’t tastes fresh. This is not reasonable for this price. I’m not sure whether it’s because fresh seafood less available in Chicago

Our staff Summer was exceptional! She took care of all our needs and gave excellent recommendations. The food was phenomenal. The drink was great as well. We ordered a bottle of sake that Summer recommended. The chef gave us complimentary nigiri that was great (salmon belly). I highly recommend this place for hig quality Japanese food!
