One of the best Sushi restaurants I have been to. Everything on the menu is refreshingly different and delicious. If you are in a group - order and share. Best way to enjoy as portions are good.

Highly recommend; negative reviews are off-base. Ordered the naan bread, lobster roll, duck trio, and day scallops. Ordered scallops per server's recommendation, was thoroughly pleased. Ask 4 Nicholas

You can't go wrong with the beignets, their signature dessert. For vegetarians, order the veggie sushi as it is. The pineapple adds a nice kick.

I'm pretty sure there is a new chef. I know it's a different menu from the "tips" I've read. Here on a Thursday might. No problem getting a seat at 6:30 pm good service. Naan w/ sauces, halibut good!

Gotta try chef beverly kims signature dish, the quail egg and pork belly kimchee stacks. Kimchee is made in house, these were awesome!

Sushi is great; very fresh! Must try the octopus maki and the fried lobster maki. Both were delish!

Gnocci is amazing! Steak is overcooked and is like shoe leather. 5 steaks were ordered, not one was tender or cooked properly. Moscow mule drink is a must!

Chef Beverly was so nice and amazing! Best restaurant week menu we have had :). Highly recommend!

Wow. The lobster maki has an amazing slightly smoky charred not that rocks. Give it a go.

Short-rib pad see eew is a knockout. Flavorful, well-seasoned beef and sweetly glazed — not gravy-laden — wide rice noodles take this dish beyond the takeout staple. Read more

The seafood in the entrees was decent but overall there is a lack of uniqueness/flavor. Service is pretty on point for a Fairmont restaurant. You will be paying $$$ for a meal here. Go elsewhere!

Wow. Friday night and there isn't a soul in this place. Did I miss something. Have been told that this is a great spot to eat????

I don't think it's currently in the menu but their crème brûlée is/was fantastic! This is one of my favorite restaurants

Unless your sodium is in the tank, be sure to ask for 'no added salt' to your steak - otherwise your blood pressure will be at comatose levels by the time you leave.

Burger and fries for lunch is off the hook. Nice bread and spread before and orange bark after rocks

Sushi is tasty but expensive. $10 for a roll and $6 per nigiri? Domo arigato

Don't go for brunch. The waiter seemed 'surprised' we were there for brunch (only 1 table was there) It took 30 minutes just to get drinks in which we closed out and left to go somewhere else.

There are lots of great places to eat in Chicago. Go to one of those places instead.

expensive to do it right. food and service are excellent. I'd get the BBQ duck chow mein again!

Great sushi! Very fresh!

Chicken is anything but ordinary here, with each dish given its own global spin. Try the lightly spiced tandoori chicken. Read more

Bring your own thermos! Coffee refills require taking a server and coffee pot by force!

aria restaurant will be featuring two specialty cocktails: “Lights Out” sangria and “Light My Fire”.

Chef Beverly is a wok queen. Bimbimbop is TDF though.

Apple Berry smoothie is awesome

The food is good, but the service leaves a lot to be desired.

Extremely slow service. Waited 30 mins after dinner until dessert was served.
