    Our waitress Chelsea was a delight, making us feel so welcome! She kept our drinks flowing and made sure we had everything we needed at all times. She remembered us from when we visited a few years ago, which was incredible! The sushi was great, the sake was perfect, and she even got us champagne to celebrate our anniversary! Highly recommend taking the time to visit!

    I absolutely loved our experience here. We did the 12-piece omakase for Chicago Restaurant Week and I’d definitely do it again! The ambiance really sets the mood for an incredible meal. Favorites bites included the hotate, toro and wagyuni. We also ordered hand rolls which were fantastic.
