This place is so nice! It was crowded on the weekend. We had a girls night and got their lychee martini which was good but a little strong. We also shared a lot of sushi rolls and appetizer which was so flavorful and delicious. We got their udon minced pork and fish which was really good.
The only reason I give it 3/5 star is the wait time. We waited for over 35-40 min for a table which was disappointing. Also when we walked in we were not greeted by the host or anyone at all. They could have at least given us a menu while we were waiting would have been nice. Our server for our table was absolutely amazing, he made it a fun experience and night for the girls, recommending food options.
Overall, it costed around $265 for 4 people and the sushi was good but lacked the service.

If you are looking for more than just a meal, you must check out this sushi spot! From the moment you walk in, the hospitality is simply outstanding. The owners and the entire staff truly go above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome—they are committed to delivering the best experience possible.
The food itself is nothing short of amazing. The chef’s skill is evident in every piece of sushi and sashimi, which is always incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. This isn’t just good sushi; it’s top-tier.
I highly recommend checking out their happy hour deals for a fantastic bargain, but honestly, the quality here is so high that I would happily pay full price for everything on the menu. It is totally worth it for the incredible food and the genuinely warm service.
Go support this incredible local gem. You won’t be disappointed!

Mazd soba udon is definitely a must-try, which has a unique yet authentic flavor. Overall, the staff were incredibly friendly, and the food exceeded my expectations. As a Korean visiting Chicago, I was really glad to find such authentic Korean-Japanese cuisine here.

Food is okay, not surprising.
Price is expensive with its small portion. If you were a man and wanna get full at here, prepare to spend over $80/person.
There’s no line to get into the restaurant so you don’t need to make reservations. They charged no show fee if you make reservations.
However, we wait for a long time to get served even if there are pretty empty in the restaurant.
Atmosphere is just okay, but lower than expected with its price. You can find better options.

The food was still delicious and authentic since my last visit in Chicago. Their kushiyaki and wagu sukiyaki were cooked to perfection and fun to eat. The karage and age dashi tofu were crispy and fried just right. The sushi could be improved since the rice was a bit dry. We were greatly disappointed with their service this time since they served our food totally out of order like the entrees came out super fast and then the small dishes after, except for the main sushi dish which came out extremely late. We had to order a second round of kushiyaki just to wait for the sushi to come which prolonged our dining time. The sake selection choice also decrease since last time. The atmosphere did not feel like authentic Japanese Korean anymore.

I came into this spot last night during Happy Hour 1/22 @ 5:30pm. I had a great experience at this sushi restaurant from start to finish. The atmosphere was welcoming, but what really stood out was my server Jose. Our server had an amazing attitude—friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. They took the time to give thoughtful recommendations, and every suggestion hit the mark.
The highlight of the meal, though, was the mussels. Hands down, the best mussels I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked, incredibly fresh, and packed with flavor—it’s rare for a sushi spot to impress me that much with a non-sushi dish, but these were unforgettable.
Between the outstanding service, spot-on recommendations, and exceptional food, this place definitely earned a return visit. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great sushi and an all-around excellent dining experience. ✨

I was disappointed with the skewers. I got 6 different kinds and they all fell flat for me. I got one yellowtail hand roll and that was really nice quality but definitely surprised considering people rave about the skewers here.

Sashimi were fresh and ikura were delicious. Staff were friendly. Like others said, they have small portions. Two of us ordered agendashi tofu, chicken karaage, variety of kushiyaki, chirashidon and a sushi roll. We didn’t feel so full when we left.

Thank you, Chef Danny, for an amazing night! You are always fantastic and never disappoint us. Each piece of sushi was expertly crafted, showcasing the freshest ingredients and a perfect balance of flavors—especially the donburi. The presentation was stunning, and the attention to detail made every bite a true experience. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall dining experience with great recommendations.

loved the cozy atmosphere of this place. went with a friend on a saturday night (with a reservation) and they told us service would be slow because they were understaffed – it was not slow at all
we tried:
• lychee please cocktail
• toro tartare
• chicken karaage
• shio pork belly
• tako nuta
• takoyaki
• hamachi nigiri
• sake nigiri
toro tartare and shio pork belly were definitely the stars. toro tartare was delicious, and it had a perfectly soft & buttery texture. shio pork belly was juicy and flavorful with a tasty sauce drizzled on it
the chicken karaage and nigiri pieces were dishes that i could tell were quality, but not necessarily for me. the ginger flavor in the chicken karaage was too strong for my liking, and the nigiri pieces had strong wasabi flavor, which i don’t personally like
overall a very pleasant dining experience that i would definitely recommend
