The $55 omakase special was delicious and comparable to omakases that I’ve had for double to cost. The staff was amazing and offered me a complimentary shot of sake. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Chicago area.
We had the Signature Omakase dinner for $70 each. The sushi was amazing and the service was great! However, the music playing in the restaurant was a drawback. It was mostly pop songs in an old-timey style, and it felt cheesy. In our opinion, classic jazz music would fit the vibe much better.
First time here, and it was incredible!
Chef Pete is the absolute best. He takes such amazing care of his guests, and the omakase was outstanding—the presentation was beautiful.
Thank you so much! I can't recommend this place enough.
