    I was disappointed in the service we received last night. We were seated right away and no server came to our table. At first we didn’t notice but after 10 minutes, I had to get up and ask the host if someone was going to come to our table. She went to get someone and again after another 10 minutes someone came. Waiting a total of 20 minutes to get some service. It was frustrating and the service last night was not how it usually it. The tuna and salmon bites were okay. The rice was tough and not soft how it usually is. The sushi rolls were great tho! But overall very disappointing service experience

    Great restaurant with a nice sushi vibe. I appreciate the GF markings on the menu. Staff was wonderful and the food was outstanding. Seemed like a good takeout business was going on as well, and restaurant was pretty full, but no problems with getting our food and in the service. I highly recommend going here.

    First time here, and it did not disappoint! We were seated right away, although the restaurant was mostly full. I highly recommend the Ramen Noodle salad as an appetizer, and our favorite sushi roll is the Chicago Fire Roll. The drinks are also excellent! We will definitely be dining here again.
