Food was absolutely delicious. Drinks were great as well. The service lacked a bit. It was not busy at all, but our food came out well before our drinks, and then our drinks came out over 5 minutes after the other. Definitely not a deal breaker. And will come back again.

Fresh sushi, excellent cocktails, and top-notch service. As parents of twin toddlers, dining out can be a challenge—but the staff here made it a breeze. Our server went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and even brought out toddler utensils for the kids. It made a huge difference. We’ll definitely be back!

Really great sushi, especially the rice. Some of my favorite in Chicago. Great spicy tuna roll and the house “wave roll” is awesome as well. Happy to have such a great sushi spot in the neighborhood.
