Tony Park: An amazing restaurant, I try to get to it every time I am in town. Try the tempura rock shrimp or the Brussel Sprout Salad. The Lobster Wagu roll...cue the drooling...now.
P L: Pork belly, beef short rib, pork adobo flake fried rice
Elyse Estrada: Amazing sushi! Start w/ the saketini, oxtail pot stickers, rock shrimp tempura. Get crispy rice spicy tuna jalapeño and escolar "the great white". Both to die for. Then have more "living jewel" sake.
Mike Schatzman: Amazing happy hour from 5pm - 6:30pm: $1 Oysters, $2 Beef Filet Skewers and $3 Shrimp Tempura Rolls.
Ms Helene: Black rice sushi sampler $27, spicy tuna, eel & crab, shrimp tempura and sweet potato tempura. BBQ sampler $28, 1 scallop, 2 shrimp jalapeño and 3 meats but cauliflower miso best. Perfect for 2.
Kinshasa Hawkins: Try the Truffled Tuna, King Crab Legs, Scallops, & Lamb Chops - all were super delicious! For rolls... the Shrimp Tempura, Bay Street Cali (get it w/blk rice) & Hokkaido were all amazing.

michael Spencer: Never go wrong with the sweet potato tempura maki!
Jessica Reynolds: The sushi is the best I've had in the city. Try the Spicy Blue Crab, Spider, Sweet Potato Tempura, Summer Passion, or Volcano maki. They also have the BEST crab rangoon in the city.
Liz Weber: The crab rangoon and the sweet potato tempura maki are to die for!

Emily R: Dragon roll and sweet potato tempura maki were amazing. Mis amigos also gave thumbs up to little sea monster and scallop app. All in all, VERY solid.
Philip: Sweet potato tempura is really good.
Peter Harders: Tried the "Triple S" roll per many recommendations including Time Out Chicago's. I prefer the "Lovers" roll but everything was wonderful and fresh. Intimate setting perfect for date night.

Eater: The specialty sushi burritos are hulking wraps of rice packed with proteins like tempura shrimp, spicy tuna, tuna ceviche and Korean BBQ beef. Read more.
Scott R: Really interesting take on the sushi roll. Tempura fried seaweed in place of taco shell, then packed just like a sushi roll. Inventive and delicious.
Teresa: The sushi burritos are delicious and super filling. Love the juicy & crispy chicken wings as well!

Alfred Ko: Banana Tempura roll is surprisingly awesome!
Kristin: 50% off Monday tasted, well, like 50% off . . . . Service was excellent but the sushi just was not good. Banana Tempura is very sweet - save this for dessert if you do decide to try Nori.
Rachel: Loved everything about this place! Half price maki Monday, really yummy sush, good veggie options, and a great vibe. Can't wait to come back.

Serious Eats: Sambal Fish Taco: The tempura frying method is an inspired choice, since it produces a particularly crackly crust. It easily stands up to spicy sambal sauce, losing none of its crunch along the way.
Ed: The shrimp tempura taco and the grilled short ribs taco won't disappoint you!
Eater: The restaurant helped popularize Korean-inspired street food, such as tacos filled with sesame-chili shrimp, tempura fish, grilled short rib, spicy barbecue pork and more. Read more.
Angie Munoz: Gyoza and shrimp tempura rolls were alright. Pier 69, i did not like. Chicago roll was REALLY good! My husband ordered the Robata #2 and enjoyed it. Miso soup is really good here too, very flavorful.
Bethany Ulrich: Blown away by the tasty sushi rolls, the sweet potato tempura, the udon, the byob policy and of course the beautiful artwork!
Mariluz Rivera: Best night of my life. Incredible environment and intimate yet casual.

lance elliot: Vegetable tempura and orange "chicken" was amazing. They stay crispy forever.
Michely: Fyi: only 6 tables. Soy fish & soy shrimp? Yes, pls!
Jenny: The peanut sauce is the best I've ever had. I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but I'll take soy chicken from here over real chicken anywhere else. Even the meat-loving boyfriend likes it!
