I was really disappointed from this location. There was nothing really redeeming from the second we walked in the door. Once they sat us down, nobody came up to us for so long to take our order/give us the AYCE menu. Once they did, the servers were very passive aggressive when taking our order. The food came very late with order missing/wrong nigiri. When we asked for them to fix our order, we were met with lore passive aggressiveness. We were there for an hour and a half and they gave the last of our food 15minutes before closing time and threatened to charge us extra if we didn’t finish the food before closing time.
Everything was with disposable silverware.
The fish was not fresh, and some of the rolls would fall apart very easily.
I was really excited for an AYCE place in Chicago, but this one is one to definitely avoid.

Classic Hyde Park energy. Good food and spacious location.
Unfortunately, the staff was a bit rude to me and guests I'd brought in town. We arrived at about 8:50 and before saying hello or greeting us, we were told the kitchen closes at 9:30. So we asked if that meant we couldn't be seated or ... Once seated they took quite some time to bring water and since we'd been told of the impending kitchen close time we had quickly decided on the items we wanted. But the server took about 15 minutes to come back. I think she was helping to clean for closing. Anyway, we felt very rushed, we heard heavy sighs that accompanied any question we had. I do understand it was later in the shift, so we wanted to be respectful of their close time, but the fact is, they were still open and we were underwhelmed with the attitude. It put a bit of a damper on the evening.
That said, the food was quite good and I was full for some time as the portions were generous.

Should have read the reviews before I spent my money here. Terrible service, added gratuity for two children that didn't order meals, never really came back to check on us, had a problem and wouldn't do an exchange or remake the food, the place felt dirty.....it was just gross. Would never visit this establishment again!

The food was great and well presented(despite disposable silverware), but the service was extremely slow and could be improved. I would recommend overall!

The sushi was mediocre at best (we did the all-u-can-eat sushi), understanding that, with that option, the quality was not going to be top-tier. What was most egregious was the fact that every single item they served either food or a beverage in was disposable. Plastic EVERYWHERE, plastic EVERYTHING. Not one item (silverware, straws, plates, cups) was something that they were not going to simply throw in the trash once u left your table. They even served the ice-cream in STYROFOAM!!!👀😒🤬 Who's using styrofoam in 2025, u ask?!?! This restaurant. 🙄 I'll never come here again.

Great local sushi restaurant. I've been going to this place for their all-you-can-eat sushi for years! The maki rolls are so fresh. I am disappointed that they now serve everything in disposable containers.

This restaurant is a MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH HAZARD.
It took them 30 minutes to prepare just 4 rolls, and they sent them to the wrong table. That table picked through the sushi for 10 minutes with their chopsticks before realizing it wasn’t their order.
Instead of discarding the contaminated food, the waiter BROUGHT THE SAME PLATE BACK TO THE KITCHEN, and TWO MINUTES LATER delivered it STRAIGHT TO MY TABLE.
I physically brought the plate back to the other table and they CONFIRMED it was the exact same one they had just touched.
When I confronted the waiter, they blatantly LIED TO MY FACE, claiming the rolls were “freshly made.” Somehow they expect us to believe they re-made four rolls in two minutes, including deep fried items when it originally took them half an hour?
The deep-fried rolls were cold, so they were not freshly prepared. When questioned, staff began GASLIGHTING us instead of owning up to what happened. They NEVER APOLOGIZED to either of us. Not for the mistake, not for lying, and not for serving food that had already been handled by strangers. They just kept deflecting and doubling down.
They SERVED US FOOD THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN TOUCHED BY OTHER CUSTOMERS and then LIED ABOUT IT.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, UNSAFE, AND UNETHICAL. This isn’t just bad service—it’s a MAJOR HEALTH VIOLATION.
AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS.

Hands down best sushi in Chicago. I have tried sushi in Lake View East, Bridgeport, Chinatown, and even super fancy restaurants. This is by far my favorite and their all you can eat lunch special up to 3pm cannot be beat.
Nice food, fair price, but the waiting time is getting longer and longer. I don’t know why.

Welcome to your next dose of micro plastics. The atmosphere leaves you feeling absolutely part of the rubbish. Dine in experience crashed by cutting corners and saving time. Cheap careless vibe. Table had 3 separate order pages. 3people total — wait staff never checked in after orders placed — everyone got their appetizers. Hubs and my food slid onto the table. Could clearly identify our two orders between 3 plates. {multiple people on one plate no warning. Eeehh} our third person never got their entree food. I was to happy in my food to notice, if we had been checked on it might have been solved. Since there’s a different charge for take out my friend basically gave up on having dinner here.
The fish and food itself: Didn’t taste fishy, the rice was the least favorite part. Everything was very Middle. Fish was sorta chilled, soup kinda hot.Things swim in sauce. They do allow modifications!! And I’d stop for another boba.
Then . . . They tried to shove the blame “3 plates, 3 people” 👀 hubs and I had 20 nigiri and 4 rolls between the two of us. Clearly 3 plates worth of food none of it was what friend ordered.
