    I haven’t eaten here since I left Chicago. In fact, the last time I ate there, was in their old location. I am happy to say that nothing has changed in. This restaurant is still outstanding. The tuna sashimi and the rolls that we had were all terrific. The Hamachi jalapeño was also very good. They had a nice selection of wine and for a fair price. The service was very good as well. They had some nice background music that wasn’t invasive, but you could still hear and enjoy. The next time I am back in Chicago and I want sushi. This will be my go to destination.

    I come to Chicago a lot. My daughter lives there for 10 years now so we have tried all the pizza. This is hands down our favorite. We got the mozzarella cheese stick onion rings, the grandma crust, and the Detroit style + drinks. Perfection. Everyone was super friendly, checked in, and thanked us for our visit. Give them a shot. You won't be disappointed!
