I went there with my girlfriend for a date. We ordered the dango, she ordered the vegetarian chahan, I ordered the lamb chops, mushroom tempura maki, otoro sashimi, and we got the raspberry passion dessert. The dango and chahan were a disappointment. They were not up to par in terms of presentation, flavor, and creativity based on the restaurant’s atmosphere. The lamb chops were delicious! However, I did not taste any Japanese influence in the dish. The mushroom tempura maki and sashimi were also tasty! The highlight of the meal was the dessert, a raspberry flavored panacotta with freeze dried raspberry cereal, vanilla ice cream, and raspberry sauce. It was tart, creamy, not too sweet, and had a homemade feel. In my opinion, this place was a 3.5/5 and I’m glad I tried it. More than likely it will be a one and done for me.

I was looking forward to go back. Had great memories of how good the sushi was..This time it wasn’t the same. The fish was very salty, full of soy sauce. Didn’t care for the Chicken dumplings, that were highly recommended. My husband had the spaghetti which was the best tasting dish

Talk about legos…..the best ice breaker. Food was pretty good too.

Every item ordered was delicious. Brittany (sp) was amazing, was so knowledgeable and guided us through our evening for a seamless dining experience. It was our last night visiting Chicago and it was the perfect ending with the best service we had recieved throughout our entire trip. PS. Do not skip dessert!

What an amazing space and meal to boot. The dinning spaces are impressive – for a more intimate experience try a table upstairs. I’ve never thought of pate as Japanese but the Jidori Kimo was amazing, and the Broccoli Goma-ae makes for a nice refreshing starter. We were also impressed with Chahan. We weren’t so impressed with the Mishima Skirt Steak, but maybe that was just a clue we should have stuck to more of the amazing sushi on the menu. The Monk’s Journey on the drink list was different if you’re looking for something unique. The service of course was impeccable. This place is great for groups who like to try a lot of little things.

Had an interesting experience here recently I’ve been here many times and think they have one of the best burgers in the city. My food order downstairs was delayed maybe waiting 15 mins more than I should have but they insisted on taking care of the entire bill pure class

Food was okay, but the seating area, especially for a party of two, was cramped. You can't help but overhear conversations from the neighboring tables
