    We’ve been to the Oakbrook location before and also loved it. But had an amazing experience at the Chicago location, our waiter was so great, he was so helpful with making all of our decisions on what to get and really made the experience that much more great. We started with edamame, the chicken skewers and pork belly - all fantastic, recommend them all. Then ordered the black cod and we each got spicy tuna rolls - absolutely amazing. Then proceeded to order the New York strip, followed by the lamb chops - 10/10 for both. I’m not usually a lamb person, but it was so tender, flavorful and delicious. We ended with the chocolate lava cake - perfection. I would go back here in a heartbeat, and hopefully have the same waiter again! The food is on the higher end with price, but absolutely worth it, no doubt.

    Highly recommend splurging on the decadent omakase option. Great dish after great dish came out and not hot knowing what was coming next made for a more exciting experience.

    We celebrated my mom’s birthday here and it was perfect. We were seated in a semi-private area without a special request which was a really cool surprise when we arrived. Beyond that, the waiters were super attentive to our 8-person party, and every single thing we ate was to die for. The waiters also answered every question we had about the menu so clearly which made it easy to understand all of the options. We had an absolutely amazing evening and my mom felt so special, from the birthday card to sorbet for dessert. We will be back!

    Overall we had a nice experience. We started with the crispy rice and tuna appetizer which was very good. The sea bass was cooked perfectly and was very flavorful. We ordered the ribeye medium rare but it came out well done. We didn’t see the waiter for a long while after the food was dropped off so we were able to say anything. Other than the cook, the steak was pretty good but didn’t stand up to other good steakhouses in Chicago and was a bit disappointing.
