The name of the place has recently changed.The place is a bit misleading because it looks from the outside like a cheap, greasy, fake sushi strip-mall fleapit, but it's nothing but. Admittedly it's a bit pricey for its decoration, but the food is top-notch sushi, with elegant contemporary cuisine recipes and above all, first class raw ingredients that could pass in any serious restaurant in Hamamatsu. Legit good food, rations slightly small for my taste and price, but a safe bet. Top stuff.

We just had dinner today based on the reviews here, the first time we drove by without noticing it but got back en route in 2 mins, once we arrived the staff welcomed us in the most friendly way and made sure our table of 6 was comfortable, the menu options were so many we couldn't decide right away but the hostess was kind enough to offer her recommendations and explained all the menu.When the food arrived, from the presentation, the beautiful dishes and THE TASTE!!! From miso soup, to our specialty rolls to the beef box and amazing dessert, the entire experience surpassed our expectations.10/10 would recommend and we hope to stop by next time we're in town

We come here for lunch a lot. The drinks are good. They have good Sake selections. Sushi is really yummy, but I really love the Chicken Bento Box, they give you a lot of food. I like the salad they always give you and then ice cream at the end!Clean and lovely place. It is small though, so before Covid, it was always yam packed.

This is the first review I'm super disappointed with my rating as I really loved the food here. We came here first time on my bday and was pleasantly surprised with one the best dragon rolls I ever ate. But the second time was today and they actually kicked us out because we had a child who is 2 year old. They right away told us before we sat in our booth that they cannot seat us because he isn't vaccinated. We even showed the official page that states the law that vaccination proof is only for ages 5 and above and our son is not eligible for a vaccine. They were so concerned that another customer would be uncomfortable with having a 2 year old dining at their restaurant that the cook rudely said we need to leave. I even offered that I will explain to anyone complaining but the server was so confused concerned. I feel for her that she isn't well informed but are also losing good amount of customers by enforcing a law that is not even true. I am very bummed with the experience that I'm never going to come back to one of my favorite sushi restaurants I found. It's shameful.

Delicious quality sushi at a reasonable price. The inside is cozy and well decorated. Highly recommend!

My first time experience with this restaurant and I have to say that the staff were TERRIFIC!!! Unfortunately, one of my elderly guests has a medical emergency at the start of dinner (he's ok now!), resulting in us having to take him to the hospital in an ambulance. It was a very scary situation, but the staff was incredibly helpful, packing up our food, bringing extra hydrating drinks to help deal with the emergency, etc. I'm sure that having an ambulance outside didn't help the restaurant attract business that night, but they didn't express any thing other than concern and helpfulness for our situation! I'll go to this restaurant again (though hopefully this time without an ambulance!) Oh, and yes, the food and drinks were excellent as well!

I've been here a couple of times now after my dad recommend this place as he's been here countless times over the years for work lunches and friend dinners. I am super picky on my sushi as it is my favorite food and have a high standard when it comes to Japanese food. There food and fish is so fresh snd it's unbelievable how great their food is, and service! Not to mention the soup, salad, and jalapeño bombs are the best I've ever had compared to any other restaurant. A must try, great place!

I have been to many different sushi restaurants around Chicago and the country. This one is one of the best I have been too! The place is small, but romantic, the food is excellent, the sauces are out of this world, and the pieces of nigiri or rolls challenge any sushi restaurant out their for their exceptional taste and quality as well as their presentation! In sum, this is a really excellent sushi restaurant a gem!

Overpriced, subpar service. One and done for me. Bento box was a joke, small portion of undercooked steak that was cold & the place was empty.
I cannot for the life of me ever tasted such individual flavors yet dance and harmonize so well with each other. One of the best and sophisticated flavors I've ever encountered in sushi. The ambience and space is so well put and really sets the mood for the food as well. Will definitely be a regular from now on. No exceptions hands down. The price is much more then reasonable for the amount and quality of the food that they serve.

I really like this place but they've been doing some werid stuff with there business hours and definitely losing customers from it. This used to be the spot for late night sushi now they close at 9

The sushi was good. I enjioyed the various unique rolls they had.I've been having nightmares about the miso soup though. They give you this thin cup, but a standard size Asian soup spoon. It doesn't fit and you spend so much effort to get the tiniest bit of soup. I couldn't even drink the whole thing because i was so upset about the design decisions that went into this.Overall, would recommend.

This place deserves 5 stars no hesitation. Great food, fast and prompt service, cool ambience. Loved all the sushi they served as well as mochi delighted the end of our meals. Was surprised they actually had junmai daiginjo sake. Saved to my liked places to be back.
