Hands down the best place to get Japanese food in the suburbs!
Very authentic with a wide menu. The sushi is top notch and it’s THE place to get yakitori in the Chicagoland area. I got the beef bowl tonight and I loved it so much I forgot to even take a picture of it before I devoured it.
They also have a good selection of Japanese beers, whiskeys, and even highballs and shochu cocktails!
The staff is very nice and attentive...

This is my new favorite lunch and late dinner spot. Food is very good and authentic. I feel like I am in Tokyo.
My favorite thing is that they are open until 2AM!
