Very pricey but expected for the quality of food. Generous servings. A lot of parking available and wheelchairs accessable. Interior is designed very fancy and elegant.“

“EVERY time I have eaten a Roka Akor the food and service has been wonderful! I totally consider this restaurant to be my Cheers and I go often. I have even hosted two private events with Roka and will continue to do so when I have the need.“

“Good food, good atmosphere- good location Would go again. Service was okay, somewhat on the $$ side for me, but usually I order way too much so my bill is a lot (good leftovers!) Dining space is spacious and clean. Would recommend anyone who is looking for a quick bite.“

“This kaiten-zushi restaurant leans hard into automated services by offering at table ordering with a digital menu, a robot that delivers water to your table, and a special belt that delivers orders right to your table. The gachapon machines above the belt that you can order Dragonball goods from adds an unexpected gameofication element to the meal.The sushi itself was mostly a win, but one roll in particular turned really mushy and had a bad mouth feel, but the variety of sushi and desserts more than made up for it.It would be a great place for anyone looking to dine without distraction. The staff was courteous and eager to help when we needed assistance.“

“I’ve ordered take out for a while but finally dined in. I love the complimentary spicy cabbage appetizer. I recommend the dry chili chicken and the hot wok style beef.“

“Have been here multiple times and it has been amazing every time, it is 100% my favorite restaurant. The food is amazing, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is stunning. Consistently have great service and amazing servers. Will visit every chance I get while in the city. :)“

“Food was delicious! And although I forgot to mention it was my parents 50th anniversary when I made the reservation, our server was able to put together a little celebratory dessert that was incredibly delicious. So thank you again!“

“Very top tier Japanese Restaurant in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood. Fresh food, fresh, delicious, world class chef, and an evening to remember.“

“Best sushi I've had outside of Japan! Sometimes, omakase and high-end sushi spots try to get too crazy with their menu, but KND is simple, focusing on the quality of the dish. Our chef was very skilled and gave us a rundown of where they acquire all their fresh ingredients. The sake also paired wonderfully with the sushi. Our 16-course omakase was the perfect amount. A great place for a special occasion.“

“I've eaten my way around 40 countries + 48 US states and this is easily one of the most intimate, unique, and realest dining experiences I've had in my life.My partner booked a secret res for my birthday and when we rocked up, I was surprised when the team greeted me by name and spoke to me like a group of friends that were 'checking in' and 'gassing me up' at a celebratory dinner. Later, I was told that she filled out an 'intake' style form letting the team know of birthday, and recent accomplishments. I know... Different. Lol. Love that.The O.G. style Omakase Experience in an industrial speak-easy space with a mini-counter seating only ten. The ambience, hospitality, F&B menu, conversation, everything was M☆.Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee's creation took our palats through a rollercoaster of emotions.If talent is only as real as the people behind the wheel, and an idea is only as special as the person who executes it at its highest level, then Chef Naomi's talent and authenticity is nothing short of un-fu*kingreal, for real.We came strangers and left as friends – Brian; you're a real one. Chef Hannah, Chef Andy, and Alex on bar; y'all are craaazy! Thanks for the memories. Cheers, y'all – Braa + Ronnie“

“Wonderful service and excellent rolls!! Overall great experience“

“Everything about it is so great. The staff, from the host to the waiter were so nice and attentive. The chefs were friendly and very talented. Their specials are extremely special and over the top, but in the best way. Can't wait to be back.“

“Amazing freshest sushi , best in the town , great service , and nice ambiance.“

“Great service paired with very affordable sushi options for the size of the portions, and you can't go wrong with a sake flight!I hope more people come here, we came on a Thursday and we were the only people in there at 8p which was sad given how good everything was.Our server was so nice and all of the food came out quickly.Apps:-We started with the Wings and Gyoza and both were fineSushi:-We did the windy city and Hi Jack and we loved both of them and the rolls were huge!Drinks:-$25 for Sake flight is great!We will def come back but I hope more people start to support them.“

“We visited Shaw's on the recommendation of a friend and our hotel concierge. We arrived just after the lunch rush without a reservation but were seated quickly in the Oyster Bar section.Our waiter Luis was efficient and friendly and drinks and food arrived promptly. His recommendation of the jumbo lump crab cake was the winner, the best we've ever had. The ambience was good with background music that we recognised and liked, and there were enough people for the atmosphere without it being too loud.We loved it so much, we returned for a second visit a couple of days later and it was as good as the first time. Our waitress, Fawn, was bright and bubbly and the we just focussed on the crab cakes with a portion each being plenty!A good drinks selection too.If we return to Chicago, this will be our first lunch stop! Do not miss it!“

“The food is delicious and the drinks are great!! The atmosphere was amazing!!“

“Amazing sushi... unique offerings, and ultra delicious. i seriously think about my next visit waaaay too much...“

“What can I tell you! 5 rolls for $45. Better than most OVERPRICED rolls at restaurants. Always fresh and they don't hold back on the contents.Don't play with the meter maids on Lawrence, they write tickets like it's a contestThis is the BEST place for party trays BTW“

“This was a fun experience with my partner.“

“The Next Neighborhood Hot Spot:This restaurant recently opened and it did not disappoint. If you don’t want to fight long waits at 7:30PM on a Friday night, give Wave a try! (Although I imagine when word gets out, there will be lines to deal with).SERVICE: From the warmth of the greeting to the prompt efficient service, we had an all around great experience.ATMOSPHERE & VIBE: The decor is cozy, hip, and relaxing. The background music is a cross between Island music/The Girl From Ipanema meets Rock N Roll…in fact, part of the fun was trying to figure what song was being covered…the volume was just loud enough to provide ambience without impeding conversation.FOOD: Simple yet complex, light in textures but flavorful - very nicely executed. Faves: Truffle Tuna (Taco) Appetizer was perfection - delicate shell with loads of tuna and the truffle ponzu rounds it all out. Prime Short Rib could serve as an an entree or easily shared. I recommend sharing to spread the wealth! Again, each element blended beautifully - tender short rib, comforting miso polenta, and the playful mushrooms all played their role.Dietary restrictions: They had regular, low sodium, and gluten free soy sauce.“

“No idea how this place isn’t more busy! I’ve been here four times and enjoyed everything I had: the negi hamachi roll, the salmon roll, the unagi mango, the crazy, spicy tuna, and edamame. We especially enjoyed the edamame and unagi mango. The edamame was seasoned perfectly and the unagi mango just melted in your mouth it was so cohesive and delicious. The only thing I didn’t like was when we got takeout edamame it didn’t have the same seasoning. Obviously since I’ve only had the rolls and the edamame as mentioned, I can’t speak for the bowls, ramen, or nigiri (yet). Photo is of negi hamachi and edamame.“

“Excellent sushi in Lincoln Park. Staff is fabulous. We were treated like gold in the back cocktail room. A hidden gem!“

“It’s very pleasant and the food is delicious!“

“Delicious! Enjoyed every bit and did not leave hungry. The caviar/duck egg/toro tartare on brioche, the Kama toro and the wagyu course were the ultimate bites of the night! Did the $65 mocktail pairing- amazing. 5 awesome drinks- I will definitely do this every time from now on!“

“Very good sushi and pasta!“

“Ordered the bibimbap and it’s probably the best I’ve ever had! It was flavorful with a variety of colors and textures, and the perfect amount of spice (just enough to add a little kick). I also loved the teriyaki sauce on the chicken. Superb!“

“Talk about an experience!! This was the first Omakase I have been to and it blew my expectations away. Firstly, you walk into a private dining area, which has a sushi bar that can sit up to 10-15 individuals. Around the sushi bar is a lounge that you may sit at before or after your reservation to chat and grab a few drinks. The whole venue is very warming and feels exclusive. Secondly, the staff was wonderful. The hosts (especially Emilio and Gonna) were very prompt with drink orders and kind with suggestions. The sushi chefs (we were fortunate to have Bank and Poom) were incredible! Shared all of their sushi knowledge while putting on a show. Needless to say, the sushi was incredibly fresh served in a very thoughtful order. I HIGHLY recommend you make a reservation if you are looking for the right mixture of a warming environment, great company, and flavor explosions. A good spot for a special occasion or a date night!“

“Amazing AYCE sushi. Presentation is top notch. Perfect date spot for those hungry for sushi.“

“Loved it! Stopped by after a movie for some light dinner, and left very satisfied! The Takoyaki were delicious, as were the Toyko and Shogun donburi. The server was very good, efficient and polite. The kitchen got our food out quickly and our dishes were plated carefully and in a visually appealing way - the impression we got was that the whole staff really cares about what they are doing. We will definitely be back!“

“In my view, Ora is far and away the best sushi spot in Chicago, and among the best restaurants period. The quality of the fish and the attention to detail in preparation are outstanding. On top of that, they've got great service, reasonable prices, and it's BYOB. If you haven't tried it, give it a shot, you won't be disappointed!“

“Best Sushi Restaurant on the planet. Not only was all the food superior than any other Sushi restaurant I've been to. My family and I had a feast.(I mean all the food was good). Very reasonable prices as well. The most astonishing fact about this restaurant was the host (Quam) his amazing knowledge of food and customer service was unlike any other. The Ice cream desert was mind blowing. You don't have to take my word for it, but I guarantee you, you won't find another Sushi restaurant in the city of Chicago as good this one. The ambiance of this establishment is very warm and pleasant. I highly recommend this place for family gatherings, and with people you want to share a special food feast with. It's pure laughter and joy. Thank you Quam for your kind recommendations on food selections. My family and I had the time of our lives, as if we were on vacation. Thank you! "Fresh Shushi Chicago" is a gift to eating out.“

“Good atmosphere and nice place to dine in“

“Second omakase experience I've had and compared to the first place, I feel the chefs could have been more engaging. There's 3 chefs and you didn't really get to know anyone. The dessert was one of my favorites. They do accolade certain things you won't eat, ie bone marrow. Wine list is short. It's interesting how this is placed inside of another restaurant.“

“Delicious food and fast delivery! I've had food from Wonder Chop many times, pick up and delivery. It's always been hot and delicious. The staff has been welcoming, friendly, and my order is correct. Love this place!“

“DELICIOUS SUSHI. Fresh, fast and good.“

“The food was absolutely AMAZING. But the SERVICE!! Was top notch! We are sushi lovers and when I saw this place in TikTok I begged my husband to go. And let me tell u.. it did not disappoint! Every single thing we ate was DELICIOUS. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Definitely adding this place to the roster!“

“Our waiter Kong was so attentive and very helpful with choices from the menu since this was our first time eating at this restaurant. The sushi was amazing! We had the Crab Wontons, Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen, the Lobster fried rice, Rock N Roll, Spice Girl, and the Spicy Cowboy rolls. The atmosphere, staff, and food will definitely have us coming back when we are in town!“

“Best Japanese food in Chicago“

“We order takeout and dine in at Blowfish often. We have always loved the cuisine and are grateful for the vegetarian ramen option! Service is always very friendly and efficient. The new location is a real jewel for our neighborhood and we are looking forward to many more years of takeout, dinners, and celebrations at Blowfish.“

“Fantastic atmosphere and very fresh food“

“I always recommend it for the variety, assortment and prices. The best offers. In food without competition.Vegetarian options: For every taste.Dietary restrictions: Choice. There's a lot.Parking: Spacious and comfortable...Kid-friendliness: YeahWheelchair accessibility: Very good“

“I called ahead on a Tuesday for their dinner reservations, we were told they weren't busy that night so we went ahead and made the one hour drive just for their sushi and their great reviews. We had the best experience and their sushi was truly top notch. We basically ordered everything on the menu from sushi, caviar to desserts and drinks. they did not disappoint, customer service was superb. The owner even came outside to attend us, he showed up with his own bottle of sake. I truly appreciate the great experience we had at this beautiful and clean restaurant. I have nothing bad to say, the food was high quality and extremely delicious. I definitely recommend this location, even if you have kids which I did. We left so happy and satisfied, loved it.“

“California man says Yes, and highly recommend here“

“Ordered from them for some quick lunch. Prices were unbeatable, and the quality of food was incredible. Really can tell a lot about sushi just from the rice, and the rice was spot on. Would highly recommend giving them your business. They are take-out only at this time though. Thank you so much for a delicious lunch!“

“The Sushi was absolutely delicious .“

“Great affordable sit for sushi and Thai! Also it’s byob so that’s a plus. Sushi was very tasty and also enjoyed the pad see ew. The fried rice was interesting not what I expected but still pretty good. Service was really nice.“

“Great welcome by hostesses even though we arrived before opening time; she sat us immediately. The Rolls and Sashimi are standard good. Server was not very knowledgeable of menu. Our friends do know the place and ordered a “black rice” that is different. Had a nice bottle of Gruner wine. Overall a good experience“
