Amazing sushi, cool vibes. Ate here last week and had an…read moreamazing time, the sushi is a next level, culinary experience. The chefs signature rolls are so innovative, I've never had any rolls like them anywhere else! The flavors were surprising and delicious! With flavors like a truffle vinaigrette, garlic sauce and strawberry and mango featured in maki we were blown away with flavor! It was all so good. And it was beautifully plated. Also unique, Chef Soon has nigiri that also features unique flavor combinations an we had several that were so so tasty. I want to go back and try more! My favorite bite of the night is a tie between Chef Soon's Special Maki and the Zuke Salmon signature nigiri. The vibes of this restaurant are so hip for being in an unassuming location. We felt like we were downtown Chicago with the quality and atmosphere! We can't wait to go back!

We ordered drinks, salads, sushi, and dessert. I'd honestly skip the dessert--the cheesecake was…read morethin, dry, and just disappointing. If you're a cheesecake fan, it's a pretty sad way to end the meal. Thankfully my last sushi bite was the Zuke salmon, which is always excellent. We spent around $350, which normally isn't an issue because we've had great experiences here in the past. But this visit was frustrating. My sister-in-law has a serious allergy to seeds and peanuts, and we were crystal clear about needing no sesame. In the past, the staff has been extremely careful and accommodating. This time, two rolls came out with sesame. We were willing to let those slide and said it was fine. But then they brought out a third roll with sesame--and that's when we got agitated. At that point, it really ruined the shared meal we were hoping for. What was safe tasted great, but the repeated mistakes took the enjoyment out of the experience. We weren't in any rush, but it definitely felt like the kitchen was winding down for the night. Chef Soon also wasn't there, which was disappointing because it genuinely felt like the attention to detail wasn't the same without him. And not to sound cheap, but after that many allergy-related mistakes, there should have been some sort of acknowledgment of an apology, actions speak louder than words. In my opinion a small discount, a complimentary dessert or app, something should have been offered. Instead, nothing. Chef soon is my favorite sushi restaurant. I often tell anyone in Illinois it's the best I've been to here. Normally this is a solid five-star spot for us, but tonight was a three out of five at best. Mistakes happen, and I'll be back... but this visit was honestly pretty upsetting. I think I may be on a search for a new favorite sushi place for my sister.

Finally tried White Crane Thai and honestly it was worth the wait. We got the pad see yew, Panang…read morecurry, veggie sushi, and chive dumplings -- everything was really flavorful and fresh. The pad see yew had that perfect chewy noodle texture and the Panang curry was super comforting without being too heavy. Really appreciated that they can make a lot of dishes vegan on request and were open to customizations too. The servers were also genuinely friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd go back to.

I finally got to try White Crane for the first time. It's been on my list to try for a while now…read more The inside looked very modern and the staff was very attentive. The menu for the Thai food looked pretty similar to most Thai places with the exception of the sushi. I had to get my regular pad see ew. The flavor was good with not too much heat. It was just enough. Not much I would want to change. Maybe I would ask for a little more heat. I also tried a little of my friends pad Thai with beef. The beef was a little tough, but overall not bad. I liked that the dish was not dry at all. From the Thai dishes, I would say that the food is pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but would come back if I was in the area. Some of the sushi rolls seemed to be a bit pricy in my opinion, but maybe I'll try one next time just to try it.

That said, the sushi was nothing too impressive -- it was decent, but lacked that fresh, standout flavor you'd expect from a great sushi spot. The Crab Rangoon was okay, but nothing memorable. One thing that really took away from the experience was that the glasses of water were not clean, which was disappointing and unsanitary. Overall, it's an average place that might satisfy a casual craving, but there's definitely room for improvement in both quality and attention to cleanliness.
