I found this place on Google and really thankful that this came up in my search! This was a special occasion for my friends b-day, we loved the menu & drink options and had an amazing time!! We all fell in love with the ambiance and the aesthetic of the place, very quaint and cozy environment. We tried the “Rainbow” and “Dragon” Maki and they were so flavorful and fresh with a beautiful presentation! I also tried my friends “Shrimp Tempura Maki” and that was really delicious as well!! Highly recommend, prices are very reasonable, I will definitely be back. 10/10 ❤️

We have eaten sushi all over the US, and this was the best sushi we have ever had!!! The tuna roll melted in my mouth and had the perfect flavor combination. We had 2 other rolls that were outstanding as well. The service was amazing. They brought our food quickly and were super friendly. I loved the atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for sushi in Chicago!

It was a cute small sushi place. The service time was way too long, over an hour for three rolls (especially when it was not full yet). The food was delicious but the service pushes the review down.

Stumbled across this place and it was fantastic. Some of the best sushi rolls anywhere and excellent service. Try the chefs volcano roll, it was my favorite. It is a small place so reservations are a good idea.

The sushi was awesome, with some creative rolls. Spicy Miso was really good, specialty drinks were really good. Service was great too. Atmosphere was not great but cozy, background music was awful, but not too loud. Only real disappointment was the bill.
