Amazingly chill place. You can drink and relax without any rush or pressure. If you come on Friday and Saturday nights, a DJ will play very relaxing Japanese music. No place like this one in Chicago and they have a karoake room available for rent. Highly recommend. The bartender Destiny is a treat to chat with. You won't be disappointed with this place.

Please edit your opening hours. We came into the resto because it says on the google Map that it is open. But the lady on the front desk informed us that it opens at 0730pm

5 star reviewVisited here several times. Definitely our favorite bar in Chicago. I can’t have heavy or dry alcohol and they provide a wide variety of hard drink menu.My favorite is Zen which is a mix of green tea and oolong tea with a hint of liquor. So special and refreshing.Love the atmosphere as well. Really chill with light music- not a place for party people haha but recommend for ones who are looking for relaxing vibes ☺️

It was a lovely place to enjoy Japanese food and drink. The service was good and the food was a fantasy for recalling my good memories in Japan.

This is a great place to come with friends. They have food, sake, Japanese whiskey, karaoke, and live music. It’s not a huge place but it’s nice when the crowd is smaller. The sake I tried were delicious and not too strong. Good quality. I tried the cha siu don. The portion was just right since I needed something in the stomach while I drank. The meat was tender and flavorful though. Service was good since there weren’t many people there. I would recommend coming here once to give it a try.

So much fun, especially if you're already familiar with singing Japanese and Korean music. The lyrics on the screen for Japanese music are only displayed in kanji and furigana so you'll need to know how to read it or else pull up romaji lyrics on your phone. Still, an absolute blast! We ended up staying for three hours and honestly would have stayed longer if the bill hadn't started to rack up.Employees were very kind and helpful, and we felt very welcomed and cared for.

Everything about my experience here was amazing. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful. She had the best recommendations and helped us with the menu. The ambiance is intimate and cozy and they had 90s anime playing in the background. Our food was delicious and the sake was amazing! Highly recommend to everyone!

The food was delicious but the drinks were overpriced and not. The karaoke is small and uncomfortable and the machine was hard to use. The actual bar has a nice atmosphere but if you are doing karaoke it took over 10 minutes to receive your soda order.Parking: There are a few garages nearby, the one we used was only about a block away.
