Lovely low-key neighborhood spot. BYOB. Good sushi, casual environment.

Nice environment the waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu (gluten free). The only thing, they didn't have lemonade and there wasn't free refills on beverages

I ordered two rolls, neither of which was particularly flavorful. The Kamikaze roll was supposed to have white tuna inside. Instead, it had albacore tuna, or possibly mackerel. Whatever was inside this roll was not the white tuna I was expecting. The flavor was lacking. There was very little eel inside the eel roll. The $6 Blue Moon beer was just a small can. I will not come here again.

Simply excellent. High quality food at affordable prices, and friendly staff. Much better than many restaurants in Chicago and the Hyde Park area. Please advertise at UChicago / Booth, I am sure there will be plenty of extra demand. Meat could be better made though, but veggie sushi and edamame were excellent

Delicious sushi! We frequently Hyde Park and had never been here! The sushi was good and fresh. The caprese salad was excellent, I really liked the dressing! My son was not impressed with the steak sandwich because the steak was paper thin.

Nice place with a separate gluten free menu and lunch specials. Something for everyone with sushi and Italian in one restaurant.

My absolute favorite spot in Hyde Park! The menu is amazing offering delicious sushi and pizza. And the lychee martini is incredible. Family owned restaurant with outdoor seating, couldn’t be nicer or more delicious
