    We visited right after seeing a movie at the AMC theaters across the way. We took a chance as it was a new place (only open one week) and so there was only one 5 star review. That said I feel obligated to provide a thorough review for all of you Food: okay, let's start off by mentioning... free edamame appetizer when you are seated!! I hope that continues! The menu has a variety of sushi, rolls, hand rolls, teriyaki dishes, hibachi, and lots of other entrees. They have a separate beverage menu that includes boba/bubble tea. we ordered the pork katsu, a dragon roll and miso soup. 5 stars! All the food was presented nicely... the portions were plentiful and the taste... delicious! The pork katsu was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside as you would expect it to be. The sauce was a good consistency. I drizzled it over the white rice that came with it. The dragon roll pieces were perfect wrt their rice to non-rice ratio. The pieces were not overly large so I could eat each piece in its entirety. Yummy! Service: Lili, our server, was so sweet. She was friendly, attentive and professional. The food came out promptly. 5 stars. Thank you, Lili. Ambiance: very nice... Simple and tasteful. 5 booths that sit 4 people. 5 four tops that could be pushed together for larger parties. 2 tables in a partially enclosed section up front that would be ideal for a party of 8ish who might be celebrating a special occasion. 5 stars Other: - 2 unisex bathrooms. Each has a toilet and urinal. - lots of parking (in a large strip mall)

    New Japanese sushi place near the AMc theater. The sushi was very well put together and fresh. We also tried their honey walnut shrimp and coconut curry with chicken. Both dishes are probably more Chinese influenced and tasted great. Service was friendly and prompt. The interior was clean with brand new furniture. Will definitely come back.

    They have a great variety of rolls to choose from. The ones we had were all great. Service was great, and cute inside.

    Ate here twice since it opened. Once for the lunch specials and once for dinner. Service was great and food was delicious. Will definitely be back soon.

    Tnt roll, butterfly roll

    Everything was really good quality and the restaurant was very clean, I will definitely be back, Lili was so nice and gave great suggestions, wonderful appetizers, sushi and meals, the boba was authentic flavors.

The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and is quite a nice location for a dinner date or to celebrate a special event. You either order take out or dine in.

Everything we tried was exceptionally good. My favorite dish being the Chicken Corn soup. Overall, the food is really good and worthwhile checking out of you are in the Chicago area.

The prepared the order quickly and within a few minutes, the order was ready. Upon picking up the order, we noticed how nice the establishment was inside. The Shrimp in the dish was jumbo shrimp which was a nice surprise. Both dishes were only okay due to lack of flavor. They were skimpy in the number of soy and sweet & sour sauce (2 of each). They were nice enough to give us 2 fortune cookies (one cheated me out of a fortune, LOL). NOTE: They have a Chicago location in Chinatown as well.

The pad see yew had that perfect chewy noodle texture and the Panang curry was super comforting without being too heavy. Really appreciated that they can make a lot of dishes vegan on request and were open to customizations too. The servers were also genuinely friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd go back to.

    I finally got to try White Crane for the first time. It's been on my list to try for a while now…read more The inside looked very modern and the staff was very attentive. The menu for the Thai food looked pretty similar to most Thai places with the exception of the sushi. I had to get my regular pad see ew. The flavor was good with not too much heat. It was just enough. Not much I would want to change. Maybe I would ask for a little more heat. I also tried a little of my friends pad Thai with beef. The beef was a little tough, but overall not bad. I liked that the dish was not dry at all. From the Thai dishes, I would say that the food is pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but would come back if I was in the area. Some of the sushi rolls seemed to be a bit pricy in my opinion, but maybe I'll try one next time just to try it.
