Maki, robata, sashimi, donburi, takoyaki, rounded out with sake flights: a full Japanese experience! Good selection of specials, too. Favorites include the maki - clean flavor focusing on the fish, not covered up with sauces. Ebi robata is a must (eel robata sounds exciting but it's pretty much the same bbq eel you get anywhere else. The flounder in the donburi tasted fishy and a bit over-grilled, the uni was duller than usual, and takoyaki could stand to have bigger octopus pieces, but overall a good experience with many choices (and we have yet to try the ramen!).

My fiancé and I love sushi. So, we decided to try somewhere that we've never been to. When we arrived, we got seated right away. But we waited for the server for quite some time. We said to each other that hopefully the food will make up for making us wait so long for service. And indeed, it did. The food was excellent. Although, it is a little overpriced. But we had a great time and we enjoyed our dinner.

This is a nice neighborhood spot for good food. There's nothing special about the food, but it's not overpriced. Good value. Very quiet. Nice décor with high ceilings. There are two big tables that can hold groups of at least 8 people, so we will be back.

This was an amazing dining experience - everything we ate (from the Restaurant Week menu) was delicious, the service was spectacular - not overly intrusive but always there and quick, and the ambiance was private and sort of upscale relaxed. We brought our (thankfully quiet!) baby with us and the restaurant was very accommodating. We already made plans to go back!

I had the $44 restaurant week dinner and I choose the BRUSSELS SPROUTS for the first course with togarashi, garlic chips, house soy, & bonito. The TAKO YAKI octopus beignets for the second course with tonkatsu sauce, bonito, & kizami. For the third course I had the EBI & MANGO maki sushi roll with poached shrimp, avocado, kewpie mayo, mango, ohba leaf. The fourth course I choose the green tea matcha ice cream. Everything was superb! Sooooo delicious! I wanted two of everything. In fact, my only complaint is that everything was so good I wanted more.

It was our first visit, we ordered off of the Restaurant Week menu and thought everything we had was great! We had a really nice server who was knowledgable and helped us w/ choosing saki as well. Nice place to have in the neighborhood and will be back.

A friend of mine was coming in from out of town, and we wanted to grab dinner that wasn't far from my home in Lincoln Park. I read the Yelp reviews for Ani and was not disappointed! The service was so friendly, and we did not feel rushed at all. The food was fantastic, and even though it was a bit expensive, we felt that the quality of the sushi and sashimi we ordered was well worth the price. I would recommend this for a low key dinner with a friend or significant other and will for sure bring my out of town guests here again!

Went for New Years sushi & wine and we were expecting to spend money for a memorable night between 4people. But for sharing the maki was tad overpriced & we were expecting more for 15$ per roll which wasn't enough food for us. But it was still a really fun place!
