The business is registered at 2557 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60622; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip.

This group covers Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and other Asian cuisines that are not Chinese, and the etiquette varies by kitchen. Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot. Korean BBQ restaurants typically charge per person for all-you-can-eat service with a time limit, and grills are shared at the table. Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself. Card and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; cash-only is more common at small family-run counters.

Chicago is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Chicago follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

I made a reservation for the anniversary dinner and was very impressed. We ordered omakase experience and it was so delicious. Each dish looked and tasted like a piece of art. Servers were pleasant and fast. I highly recommend this place.

Hands down the best sushi I've ever had in Chicago, or anywhere else (including Japan!). Each bite was a brilliant combination of flavor and freshness. The atmosphere is charming, and the service was impeccable - attentive but not intrusive. It’s a well-run restaurant that obviously takes pride in providing an excellent dining experience in every respect. Highly recommend!

10/10 stars! I chose to do the omakase dinner and it did not disappoint at all! I will absolutely be doing this again when I come back in to town. Servers are very attentive, my water did not go empty once! The food is curated in an upscale manner and it is absolutely delicious! As soon as you are done with one course they are serving you the next, timing is impeccable! I cannot say enough about this restaurant.

Wonderful restaurant, service, and food. We partook in the omakase for the evening. It was a beautiful 11 (I believe) course meal perfectly curated by the chef. The nigiri was fantastic as was the scallop, which was a unique experience for me as I typically am not a fan of scallops.

I have mixed feelings about this place. The omakase menu is good, the fish is very fresh, and a few dishes from the tastingβ€”like the oyster shooters and clams on fireβ€”are quite unique. The atmosphere is intimate, and the noise level allows for comfortable conversation. Now, the downsidesβ€”and they are significant. Serving an 11-course tasting menu in 1.5 hours is simply not an appropriate timeframe. Being asked to leave because the table is booked next is also unheard of at most restaurants offering this type of dining experience. Imagine paying $500 for three guests, being rushed through your meal, and then asked to leaveβ€”it takes away from what should be an enjoyable, paced experience. At times, it felt more like a production line than a dinner. I found myself trying to keep up with the pace just to avoid having multiple plates stack up on the tableβ€”which, in fact, happened. For an omakase experience, reservations should allow at least 2.5 hours to properly enjoy the meal. Also, sparkling wine should be served colder than regular white wine. It’s surprising how often this basic detail is overlooked even at a fancier looking places. Had this meal cost $70/person, I would have g
