I…read moreordered the spicy miso ramen and it was packed with toppings sweet corn, bamboo shoots, seaweed, fresh greens, green onions, and a generous scoop of miso paste that melted right into the broth. The crispy fried onions on top added the best crunch and extra flavor. The broth was rich and savory with just the right level of spice, and the noodles had that perfect chewy texture. Portions are huge too I was stuffed but still didn't want to stop eating. Super casual, quick service, and such a cozy spot for ramen, especially on a cold day. Definitely one of my new go-to ramen places in Chicago. Can't wait to come back!

Every bite was comforting and rich without being too heavy. The edamame was surprisingly amazing, perfectly seasoned and super fresh. And the shrimp tempura? Chef's kiss.

Definitely coming back next time I'm craving ramen.

We've been coming to this restaurant for a few years now. With a recent name change to Sakana we…read morenoticed some new options at the restaurant. The ambiance has always been cute and a nice little date spot that's easy to get into. The servers have always been very kind and helpful. We did not realize that they changed to a more premium style. All you can eat menu as an option. Typically with all you can eat options. You have very limited roll selections, but here they have a lot of chef specials on the menu as well as hand rolls sashimi and nigiri. The fish quality didn't change at all! It's still really good. We're typically turned off from all you could eat restaurants due to the fact that their rice to fish ratio is pretty high. That is not the case here. The sushi rolls are still billed in a very cohesive manner. The flavors hit your palate perfectly and are not buried in rice. The all you can eat option may be more expensive than competitors in the area, however, their quality is second to none in this tier. We will definitely be coming back and frequenting this option because you get great quality for a great price!!!

I typically don't leave reviews but this restaurant was honestly the worst AYCE I've ever had in my…read morelife. Separately, also possibly the worst sushi place. We paid for their AYCE menu which includes a set menu; there's a disclosure on the menu "any leftover rice will be charged for" Understandably, if customers are unreasonably wasting food. We ordered two small rounds of sushi and didn't even want to eat anymore because the quality of fish was so disappointing. The amount of rice they put in the rolls is embarrassing. I'm from Japan and it's so disappointing and honestly heartbreaking that some people will eat here and will create a first impression of sushi which may cause them to not enjoy it from then on. For 4 sashimi, 4 nigiri, 3 hand rolls, and 2 maki, it took them one hour. $80. Sushi Taku is significantly better AYCE in Chicago, Sakana with the same namesake in Las Vegas, NV is significantly better as well. Side note, the waiter and waitress were extremely nice. This review does not reflect service.

We arrived on a Saturday around 7:30 and they started getting packed and had a wait by 8. They are cash only but if you forget they have an atm inside as well! Prices are so shocking! Each bowl was about $14 which is the cheapest I've seen a bowl of pho in a looooong time. Food comes out pretty quickly. We order the appetizer fried shrimp Rangoon, bun Bo hue, pho dac biet, and avocado smoothie w/boba. The base of soup for both dishes was AMAZING! Good depth of flavor and not lacking anything. The bun Bo hue had a ton of meat and they even have the pork blood cubes! Pho dac biet was lacking a quantity of meat but good variety. The only complaint I have is the Avocado smoothie was very bland and didn't have much avocado taste. The boba tasted old because it didn't have its chewy texture anymore. Will DEFINITELY be coming back for the food!!!

Best of all, the prices are very affordable compared to other places I've tried. The goi cuon is only $5.50 for two rolls, while other restaurants charge around $7.50. I highly recommend this spot. Just keep in mind that they only accept cash, although there's an ATM inside.

If in need of late nights eats, dropping by the Casino is a decent option, and you can get some gambling in. Fish Fillet in Spicy Bean Sauce had a slightly crunchy exterior, but the fish was a bit chewy. Bean sauce was decent though. Large serving, but the thinish cut of fish meant the entire thickness was firmer than I would have liked. Salmon belly was much better. Center was moist and the tofu, and bok choy were very tasty. I would order this one again. Overall we are fans. Great open hours, Casino has tons of parking, and there is sufficient seating. Not a destination, but if my the casino, a very solid choice.

They have a very extensive menu with a lot of creative rolls. The person taking my order at the restaurant was very quick and reassuring that I would be able to get my food in like 10 minutes. When I came back he was already on his way to handing me the bag, such sweet and attentive service. I got the midnight heat and the sunrise sushi roll and a California roll. The sushi itself tasted great, but I have to say that the presentation was slightly questionable. The rolling did look a little sloppy, but that might be because there was pressure to rush my order. Also they give a lot of extra ginger, which I love and this is without asking, so kudos to them for that. Either way, I would be happy to come back in order more sushi rolls from here.

The pictures on the menu were helpful in knowing what to expect with each bowl of ramen order. We tried: TEMPURA APPETIZER, SPICY SHRIMP WONTON W/EGG, and SPICY RED MISO RAMEN W/EGG. I also ordered SPICY CHICKEN RAMEN W/EGG and (level 3 spicy) BEEF CURRY RAMEN to go. The broth for each ramen was flavorful, rich, and delicious. The noodles, eggs, protein, and vegetables in each bowl were also great. For me, I liked the spicy red miso ramen and the beef curry ramen the best. The flavors were savory and full of flavors. Thank you. 'Til next time!

I stopped by on a Thursday night since it's close to where I live, and it was unbelievably cold inside. Honestly, it felt warmer outside than in the restaurant.

I honestly feel bad for the employees having to work in those conditions doesn't seem right. The food itself was good, but not good enough to make up for how uncomfortable the experience was.
