My wife’s blood orange margarita was really good and the two glasses of wine I had were excellent. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. Loved sitting in the booth. Very lovely dinner with my wife at Christmas time in Chicago. Couldn’t have asked for a better dinner. The desserts were the best we’ve ever had. Thank you and we’ll be back the next time we are in the area."

They offer an amazing variety, and tasting them from lightest color to the final tuna is a must-do—it totally unlocks the flavor profile. Seriously, every single dish is extremely flavorful (shoutout to the unreal mushroom side). Beyond sushi, the Prime Rib Eye was a perfect, juicy medium-rare, and we loved that it was served pre-cut. The vibe is chic: a cool open kitchen, and the window views of the street bathed in fall colors are stunning. Plus, the staff are genuinely friendly and take time to explain everything. Highly recommend—it's a perfect Chicago dining moment."

To begin, we shared an assortment of appetizers, including tempura, sushi, and dumplings, each prepared with remarkable freshness and balance of flavor. For the main course, I ordered the New York Strip, which was exceptionally tender, perfectly cooked, and finished with a crisp, flavorful sear. The service was equally impressive—attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely committed to ensuring an excellent evening. I look forward to returning soon."
