We were looking for an omakase experience and while they did not have an official omakase course on the weekends, our server Max was more than willing to select the best offerings off their menu. He was highly knowledgeable and provided superb service throughout the meal. Each piece surpassed our expectations in terms of quality, texture, and flavor. The fresh Peruvian uni was mindblowing, we're still thinking about it now! We were also pleasantly surprised to find that the total bill ended up being cheaper than expected. The interior is dimly lit and stylish, perfect for a date night. If you're in the Andersonville or Chicago area, definitely try to stop by!

The food was incredible, and the prices were reasonable. We ended up spending nearly $30 and had a fantastic experience. This is definitely one of the best sushi restaurants in Chicago!

Service was a little spotty (super friendly, at times, slow), but man, the sushi was worth it. The specialty rolls and seasonal specials were memorable and distinctive and they were very accommodating of gluten/celiac. Thank you for an incredible night out!

The chef adds wasabi and soy sauce to each piece, so I don’t have to overwhelm them with soy sauce myself. I make sure to visit this place whenever I'm in Chicago. I usually order the salmon belly pieces and the poke bowl, and I've never been disappointed. Just a heads-up: the portions are a bit on the smaller side, so don’t come too hungry!

Incredible! I really wish I had taken pictures of every piece of sushi; they were masterpieces, both in appearance and taste. The service was just as fantastic! read more Incredible!
