Kasey SchindlerDecember 7, 2014Can You Handle It? roll is a must. It is delicious with a nice kick of heat. Many of the rolls come with 10 or so pieces which is a lot so keep this mind when ordering. We were stuffed!
Dana DanielleNovember 1, 2016Tiny spot, very NY like. Friends roll was good, but lots of flavors going on! Shashimi was very fresh! Also ordered Niku soup which was delicious! Not good for groups, 2-4 people max! Friendly staff!
Echo TongFebruary 21, 2017I ate here several times. I love sushi, but I prefer to enjoy the time I spent with my friend here. The first time, I ate sushi in US is this restaurant with my friend.
Adam ChestertonJuly 11, 2013One of my favorite Sushi restaurants - always visit when I come to Chicago. Umi roll is great but if you love crab and avocado try the Jazz roll
Angela QuigleyAugust 26, 2013Devil's Roll and Friends Roll are both really great and different from each other to satisfy the spicy fresh (devils) and sweet tempura (friends). Get them both!- Kevin DulinDecember 30, 2014Fantastic sushi! The Sweet and Spicy roll was very tasty and all of the Nigiri was delicious! Incredibly comfy chairs as well!
Allan WhiteFebruary 21, 2016Sit bar side & watch five #sushi Master's working in a closet sized kitchen create amazing food!
Maria SánchezMay 28, 2013Order sreaded salmon signature roll! Spicy for spanish standards but tasty! They close early at night and they do not hide their intensions of kicking you out!- The Friends and Big Friends rolls are highly recommended! The service is also great here.
- Demir DemirkanMarch 9, 2013Try at least one of the Friends Signatures. Big Friends is awesome. It seems one needs come here a few times to begin to appreciate fully.
Small, intimate setting. Definitely make a reservation on Fri or Sat. Great specialty rolls, the chefs are great
The iced green tea (matcha) is really good. Also they have green tea ice cream if that is more your jam.
Ray HostetlerFebruary 12, 2012Small area but usually not that busy. Bring your Wikipedia app though because most menu items are in Japanese. Crunch and Cream Roll is Great!
Pocket SunAugust 9, 2014Sushi is nice, I like the tempura udon and Friends sushi. The appetizers are pretty good too.
JillApril 5, 2013Don't expect comfortable seating- the chairs are super awkward but the sushi is great. I'm bringing my own stadium chair next time I come.
Jeremy NelsonJanuary 11, 2015If you're into raw fish, get the king crab nigiri- definitely worth it!
Sue FurthMay 27, 2014Great place, delicious sushi! I will visit every time I am lucky enough to go to Chicago!
Priya VaswaniJanuary 5, 2013Everything was amazing...from the drinks and maki roll to the mochi! One of my favorite sushi spots for sure.
IzaDecember 1, 2013Unless you are darn lucky (we were!) you better have a reservation. Tiny and very crowded, but awesome sushi.
You have to try the creamy spicy tuna! Amazingly good!
Arpit MidhaFebruary 16, 2011Try the "can you handle it" and the "devils tuna" if really really love the spice
Marissa FlaxbartSeptember 27, 2009Order the bento box. An amazing deal, plus you get to have a variety of yummy foods.
David BohnDecember 18, 2011The "can you handle it" roll is too much to handle... Sooo much heat and I like spicy food.
Daniel LopezFebruary 10, 2014Best modern sushi ever! The service is amazing, the food is delicious and the place is wonderful too. The Tune Lover and Can you handle it rolls are a must!
Jonathan MendozaJune 10, 2011Be prepared to wait. RSVP system SUCKS. Had to wait and watch several parties sit before we finally got a table.
