Definitely a hidden gem, good bang for your buck all-you-can-eat sushi spot. Perfect for Sunday brunch. They do take reservations if you want to skip the wait. Didn't have a large selection of nigiri, but the vegan and vegetarian rolls were very tasty!

This is the best sushi place in Chicago imho. Very affordable for ayce sushi, nigiri are very generously portioned, the rolls are almost never rice heavy. I come for the lunch when i want to save some money but dinner buffet is really where its at. I would eat their yellowtail and eel nigiri every day for the rest of my life. If you truly love sushi, or especially if you want to expand your sushi palate, their buffet is perfect for you!!

Some of the better Pork tonkatsu shoyu ramen I’ve had. Japanese curry with chicken katsu was very pleasant too. Sushi rolls were good value with plenty of fish. Will have to try back for the $17.99 all you can eat sushi lunch special. Just as a heads up, there is a 10% discount if cash is used.
