    This is a cute spot. Food is decent, and they have comedy shows occasionally during the month. It's a large space. Drinks were only okay but this is a nice vibe for a date night or night out with friends.

    Pleasant dining experience at Kamehachi, starting with the Tokyo 75 a light and refreshing cocktail which I highly recommend for French 75 fans. Cocktails were accompanied by a plentiful portion of steamed edamame helped bring some salty balance to the table. After hearing our server's recommendations, we indulged in the summer specials. The overwhelming fan favorite was the spicy tuna crispy rice with an honorable mention for the passion maki, which was actually far more spicy than the crispy rice. I was content with portions and was full after the meal. This is a nice spot for a dinner with a few friends or a date, but be mindful if you have a short attention span - some of the tables are close to each other so you may be inclined to eavesdrop. Great menu for sharing, but I wish there was a bit more variety in the types of rolls offered.

    We went to the Asian take out comedy show and it was held here at kamehachi. It was on the 2 floor of the place and they offered a special menu for comedy show attendees. The food was thoroughly disappointing. All came in take out containers and overpriced terrible food that i preferred to have Whole Foods take out sushi. Not sure why the regular menu that kamehachi has was not offered. The drinks were good though!

    I have to say I really enjoyed this restaurant. We walked here from our hotel and there was a really cute ambience and very cute walk there. The restaurant was bigger than I thought and they were able to see us right away. We had five in our party, including a baby and our waitress was very kind. All of the weight staff were to make sure that we were good and our table was cleared. We started with the shrimp shoe mine, which was great and the tempura vegetables which were also good and not fried too hard or too greasy. I had the mayflower roll, which I highly recommend to order. The people at my party also enjoyed their sushi and we will definitely be back the next time we come to Chicago.

    While on a business trip I walked here for dinner. Very cute neighborhood with a lot of nice shops. They had indoor and patio dining. I sat inside. I had the Ebi Shumai and Mayflower sushi. it was delicious - I was hesitant because of the raw tuna but I thoroughly enjoyed my appetizer and sushi. The service was great! Ask for Ishi - she was such an amazing waitress, she was friendly, personable and offered recommendations when I wasn't sure about what to order. This is a great dining spot with a bar and tv's to watch sports. Go check them out when you are in Chicago.

    Very yummy food but nothing special for the price. The service was alright but she lost our order so it took forever and then got it wrong. The place is very cool with a great bar and outdoor space. Would try out their happy hour

    I ordered some rolls for a lunch out by the lake on a warm day, which I highly recommend! I was not notified when it was ready for pickup, but it was on the table when we walked in. All the sushi was packed together nicely in a single box which made it easy to share. I highly recommend spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls if you like fresh fish. Both the rolls were not too spicy for my taste but had great textures and flavors. I wasn't a huge fan of the tempura rolls because they had a weird county fair old fried taste.

We wanted to have some sake and asked for help. Their sommelier was very helpful and recommended the Snow Tiger Yuki Tora which is unfiltered and looks like milk, but it went beautifully with our food. We started with Edamame which had a perfect char. The grilled Avocado was a pleasant surprise with the char flavor and great spicy sauce. You get a spoon to scoop out the avocado and it's sliced so it works with chop sticks. By the way everything is great for sharing which gives everyone a chance to try the wonderful menu. Then we attacked the main menu. The Wagyu Nigiri, the must have Bluefin Tuna Crispy Rice, Crispy Spring Rolls and I drank the juice with the Hamachi and Lemon. Now it's time to figure what's next! spicy Tuna roll, triple tuna roll, the incredible Wild Mushroom sizzling rice bowl and it is sizzling! We're nearing the end! The Unagi and the Black Cod couldn't have been any better. It melted in our mouths. Think we're finished, we saved room for dessert! The Miru-Ishi and Black Sesame Mochi. We're finished! Maria was a great server and was very attentive!

My only critique is the pacing. Since the chef already had the fish sliced and prepped, I expected a smoother flow, but the meal took about an hour and a half for 14 pieces of sushi. It felt a bit slow, especially for a lunch service. That said, if you're looking for a reasonably priced omakase with quality fish, this is a solid choice.

Both were great. Our bartenders were lovely and very friendly. Found out this is a Malort tasting room and we were able to sample some different Malorts (the cocoa one was good!). Then we were taken back to our table for dinner. Our server was super friendly as well. Started with the miso soup and crispy tuna bites which were probably my favorite dishes. The taki yoki fritters weren't bad either. We saw people getting omakase, so we ordered a yummy looking piece they were receiving. It was just okay (chutoro truffle). The nigiri was also okay. The tuna piece was the only I really loved. The fish quality wasn't as high as I was expecting. The sushi was decent. A little too much truffle in the spicy blue fin tuna and a little too vegetable forward in the hamachi serrano. All in all, the atmosphere and amazing service pushed this up to a 4 for me.

    Such a wonderful spot! Fantastic happy hour. Everything was made fresh and tasted delicious…read more Service was super friendly, and they even brought out a free birthday mochi for my friend. We got the karage, three of the skewers , and the spicy salmon and tuna rolls. This place, along with the entrance is a bit hidden, so would love to see them market themselves more as I think it's a spot people would really love, especially for more affordable sushi in the River North area. Quiet and cozy ambiance for casual outings but also cute enough to be a date spot. Got seated immediately. Service was a bit slow, but that's only because they seemed to have one host/server working at the time, who was working super hard and kept a super pleasant and attentive vibe.
