    We went here for my birthday. All staff were friendly and happy. They wished me happy birthday. Our waiter was wonderful. I eat carnivore and he was very accommodating and explained the seasoning process of the meats. I ended up ordering the sea scallops, Wagyu filet along with lobster tail. The lobster tail came out after all of us finished our meals. I asked for more butter because the tail didn’t look like there was any butter. When the server told the chef, the chef was upset and my husband had a view of the chef and saw his reaction directly. By the time I received the butter, I just ate the lobster tail because it was hot. I didn’t want to wait and then it would be cold. Other restaurants normally give you melted butter on the side of your lobster. But they did not do that here. Honestly for the price we paid, I do not think my request for the steak to be grilled and seared in butter with salt to be so outlandish of a request. We first visited Scottsdale AZ location and that made us want to try Chicago, our home town. Scottsdale had wagyu ribeye and they were able to grill the octopus in butter. The vibe in AZ was better and at that price point that’s what I would expect.Again, all staff were great. They ended up comping our dessert. I did not eat dessert on carnivore but my family enjoyed it. Just a little disappointed in comparison to Scottsdale location. Maybe we will try Oak Brook in the future. Again, not waiter’s fault. Waiter and staff were great.

    This is one of my preferred restaurants in Chicago and I came to celebrate my Birthday and was amazing. Every dish was crafted with remarkable attention to detail, especially the Toro, Hirame and Hotate sashimiswhich was truly unforgettable. You need to try also their cocktails and the Brussel Sprouts. The balance of tradition and creativity in every dish is impressive, and it reflects the pride and passion of everyone in the Restaurant.

    I annually enjoy a dinner at this wonderful restaurant. The food is so tasty even in Japanese. We could have an amazing dinner with colleagues as ever. Particularly, the hospitality of the floor staff was remarkable. One of us was birthday at the day visited. Thus, the staff in charge of our table perfectly supported to celebrate her. Thank you for everything.

    Initially I just order two but the waiter said it's not enough. So I ordered 3 at the end. However, the three dishes were really too much for one person. The taste of food was ok though not extraordinarily exciting. The sauce on oyster was too sour.

    The food is outstanding. We had a group of 5 and everyone was blown away with how great the food was. Drink service was amazing as well. The only things that fell short were, the chop sticks were terrible, it sounds silly but some of us struggled to pick up the sushi with how blunt and big the chop sticks were. Second our server was dropping dishes and speed talking his way through the description. It was hard to understand what he was saying so our first few coarse’s were a bit of a mystery. Overall it’s an amazing experience and the food is the best meal we have ever had in Chicago.

    I had a reservation for 8:45PM, didn’t get seated until 9:05PM. With that being said, I would suggest implanting a time limit for tables on more busier days. The atmosphere was very lively for a Saturday night which I didn’t mind. I had “the imperial” as a cocktail which was really good. The octopus, Brussel sprouts, hamachi roll & warm chocolate cake. My favorite dish being the Brussel sprouts. I liked the flat top/kitchen, being able to see the food prepared from my table was nice. I would return either during the week or earlier on a Saturday.
