I ordered this sushi for pick up and it was ready so quickly! The location itself is really…read moreconvenient and close to a lot of the hotels in the area. The restaurant itself did seem like a really fun spot to go, especially with friends. It was packed and people seem to be having a good time. I ordered a few dishes so I could try a variety (they offer five piece rolls!) Truffle shiitake maki - my second favorite roll. SO flavorful, the flavors almost dance through your mouth. You get kind of a pepper flavor at first that transforms into the delicious shiitake flavor. The truffle flavor nicely pairs with the roll. Would absolutely get this again. Spicy salmon Maki - visually beautiful. Taste wise also exceptional. There's a very springy or fresh taste to it at first and then the flavors blend with the salmon to give you an outstanding pairing. If you like bold flavors, I would really recommend this one. Spicy tuna Maki - was so excited for this one, but honestly it really fell flat. The only thing you can really taste in it is the avocado, and then you just get a spicy aftertaste of which I'm assuming is the jalapeño. You honestly don't really get the tuna flavor, which was disappointing. Spicy scallop maki - WOW. Easily my favorite roll. The flavor is so hard to describe other than it's the thing you taste that makes you say wow out loud. The lightly torched scallops pair so well with the sushi that it's over...it's truly exceptional. Pan fried chicken and vegetable Gyoza - it was a pretty good dumpling. Honestly, I don't know if I would come here specifically for the dumpling, but it's a nice appetizer. The only reason I say that is because while it was pretty good, the sushi was just much better. Next time I'm in Chicago I'll definitely stop by here again! If you're looking for a good sushi spot for takeout or for eating and then I think this is the spot for you.

We wanted to have some sake and asked for help. Their sommelier was very helpful and recommended the Snow Tiger Yuki Tora which is unfiltered and looks like milk, but it went beautifully with our food. We started with Edamame which had a perfect char. The grilled Avocado was a pleasant surprise with the char flavor and great spicy sauce. You get a spoon to scoop out the avocado and it's sliced so it works with chop sticks. By the way everything is great for sharing which gives everyone a chance to try the wonderful menu. Then we attacked the main menu. The Wagyu Nigiri, the must have Bluefin Tuna Crispy Rice, Crispy Spring Rolls and I drank the juice with the Hamachi and Lemon. Now it's time to figure what's next! spicy Tuna roll, triple tuna roll, the incredible Wild Mushroom sizzling rice bowl and it is sizzling! We're nearing the end! The Unagi and the Black Cod couldn't have been any better. It melted in our mouths. Think we're finished, we saved room for dessert! The Miru-Ishi and Black Sesame Mochi. We're finished! Maria was a great server and was very attentive!

My only critique is the pacing. Since the chef already had the fish sliced and prepped, I expected a smoother flow, but the meal took about an hour and a half for 14 pieces of sushi. It felt a bit slow, especially for a lunch service. That said, if you're looking for a reasonably priced omakase with quality fish, this is a solid choice.

Both were great. Our bartenders were lovely and very friendly. Found out this is a Malort tasting room and we were able to sample some different Malorts (the cocoa one was good!). Then we were taken back to our table for dinner. Our server was super friendly as well. Started with the miso soup and crispy tuna bites which were probably my favorite dishes. The taki yoki fritters weren't bad either. We saw people getting omakase, so we ordered a yummy looking piece they were receiving. It was just okay (chutoro truffle). The nigiri was also okay. The tuna piece was the only I really loved. The fish quality wasn't as high as I was expecting. The sushi was decent. A little too much truffle in the spicy blue fin tuna and a little too vegetable forward in the hamachi serrano. All in all, the atmosphere and amazing service pushed this up to a 4 for me.

I was seated at the sushi bar shortly and to my surprise I had the chefs table all to myself! It was very beautifully decorated and clean and got to meet Chef Shoji. I was well taken care of by both the staff and Chef Shoji and he meticulously explained every dish and we chatted about everything from his time in America, Japan, and even shared some of my life stories. All in all the dinner service was about 90 minutes with maybe 12-15 or so dishes? I was absolutely satisfied and more. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience having personalized service!
