    You have to bring your own beer from outside. They serve just sodas. Probably is something normal in Chicago but they should advise the public before make the reservation.

    Slow the day/time we were there (Sunday 4PM), but seems like a cool place that would be busy most weeknights. Great sushi and sashimi. Good options for maki as well. And the miso soup hit the spot, recovering from a few too many beers the day before. Server was maybe distracted/bored because we added to our order and she showed up with the wrong thing, twice. But the bill was accurate and it didn't take long to correct the order. Worth going again when it may be a bit more lively to really test ambiance (clean and hip seeming, but add ppl and we'll see).

    The food was great! Nice selection. No alcohol, but BYOB. Our seat in the front window was a bit sterile, but the other tables in the restaurant were quite charming. I would have like to sit elsewhere.

    My daughter and I both enjoyed the suggestions our waitperson brought us. The maki was very tasty and we both left full. It was not very crowded for lunch so we were able to have a nice conversation while eating.
