MIND BLOWN. Best sushi in Chicago hands down. Amazing Japanese cuisine, beautiful presentation, delicious sake, and incredible, personalized service (I have several dietary restrictions). The unagi was to-die-for and every bite from their menu was unique and very special. Very knowledgeable and accommodating staff, and cozy atmosphere. I will be coming back here many, many more times.... I can't wait to see what's next up on the menu!

What else can you say about a restaurant with so many accolades? The service is consistently outstanding! The food is absolutely to die for! By all means, treat yourself to omakase, if only once. I love seeing the sustained success and consistency. It's not very often a restaurant maintains this level of excellence.

Ate here tonight for the first time. The soba seafood special was to die for. Actually all the good, starting with the oyster shooter to the mochi was fantastic. Justin, our waiter was very sweet and knowledgable. Million kisses to the chefs for doing their thing. You will see us again!
