    Tasty sushi, very different sushi choices. Lunch menu is well priced for the portion. Staff is friendly. Clean place and lovely ambience.

    New Japanese sushi place near the AMc theater. The sushi was very well put together and fresh. We also tried their honey walnut shrimp and coconut curry with chicken. Both dishes are probably more Chinese influenced and tasted great. Service was friendly and prompt. The interior was clean with brand new furniture. Will definitely come back.

    They have a great variety of rolls to choose from. The ones we had were all great. Service was great, and cute inside.

    Such great quality sushi and a beautiful presentation Favorite place for sushi around here!

    Ate here twice since it opened. Once for the lunch specials and once for dinner. Service was great and food was delicious. Will definitely be back soon.

    Tnt roll, butterfly roll

They have all sorts of neat decorations, I couldn't stop taking pictures. We had reservations for a party of 5, although it was not needed. The place wasn't crowded at all. I wasn't a big fan of their drink options. Instead of sprite they have starry, but the food more than makes up for it. This was my first time dinning here, so I wasn't aware of how huge the portions were. I got the crab Rangoon which I found to be very tasty, I got the sweet potato rolls. Got the most part they were good but some pieces I thought were slightly overcooked. For my entree I got the steak hibachi and it included fried rice, miso soup, and a small side salad. I don't know what type of dressing they put on the salad but it was delicious. Our hibachi chef was pretty funny. He did all his cool tricks. Our waitress was also very friendly. Right before our food was served I did notice my plate was dirty. It had left over food, which I circled in the picture. Not a big deal though since my waitress got me a new plate immediately. Overall, the portions were huge and the food was delicious. My steak was exceptionally tender. I wasn't expecting to enjoy the food here so much, but it's actually really good!

The landscaping is done regularly and the small pond with Koi fish was clean! We made a reservation for 6pm on a Saturday night. It was busy so we had to wait about 15 minutes. It wasn't bad, as we sat and talked amongst ourselves. The process to alert parties is great as you are handed a buzzer so that they aren't screaming your name over the crowd. Once we arrived at our table and settled. Our hostess, Wayan (Why-un) arrived asking for our drink orders. Wayan was attentive and sooooo kind. He handled the stress of a busy restaurant floor with ease. He was not afraid to clarify or correct an issue before it became an issue. He was wonderful! Our chef was soooo entertaining. He cooked well and made sure we felt as if his performance was just for us. He was great!! The only reason I gave 4 stars was because the floors were slippery. They felt greasy, and it made me fearful to walk on the floor. The food did not disappoint and neither did the service!

Our server, Katie, was amazing. She was attentive, funny, and gave great recommendations on both food and drinks. The menu has a wide variety of options, so her guidance definitely helped. We ordered hibachi, which was delicious and a fun experience. The chef put on a great show and even gave us cues for slow motion videos, which made it extra memorable. A few people in our group ordered sushi and said it was really good as well. I had the shrimp dinner and added calamari on the side. The shrimp portion was generous, and everything tasted great. My only complaint is the noodles. They were very thin, similar to Pad Thai noodles, and I personally prefer thicker hibachi noodles. The soup was one of the best I've tasted. The ambiance was cute and spacious, with a cool fish tank and the drinks were a highlight. I had a coconut sake drink that was so good I'd honestly go back just for that. Overall, great food, fun atmosphere, and excellent service. I would definitely return.

My group chose to sit in the sushi lounge since none of us planned to order hibachi. I'd say this place is moderate size when compared to the franchise Benihana. Service throughout was pretty good, at times it was slower. However, I noticed Lisa, our server, was assisting the sushi lounge and hibachi tables. She was busy busy, so I understood why things look a little bit longer. I tried 3 different rolls - Paradise roll, Butterfly roll, and the Spider roll. All are very different from each other, which I planned on purpose. Very tasty and the portion is generous with a fair price. I had plenty of left overs which my husband was grateful for haha. I really like this place and am planning to come back to try their hibachi items too.

Only carry a few soda choices and those are in 20 Oz bottles. The waiting area smelled weird and pretty big hole in a couch where you wait. Noticed lots of air purifiers scattered thru the business . The waitstaff was prompt but they were just standing around waiting for something to do. Way to many chairs at the hibachi tables. Had to move quite a few to be comfortable. Very light traffic for a Thursday night. 2 tables had customers at them. We had 4 and the other table had 4 at it. No mind you the food is not cheap. They dont tell you what the price on say lobster or scallops just says mkp. They charge for everything, If you want garlic breading or golden sauce it not included. They gave us maybe 3 tablespoons of garlic breading.

It was plenty of food, topped off with smores for dessert. The meat was fresh. Lots of meat, good beef, some pork, and a few shrimp. The salads were good... might be better if we'd asked for the salad dressing on the side. The sukiyaki was surprising in that it was more like fried rice. Spicy chiggae soup was yummy, nice and spicy. So much food. Super yummy. Park in the structure around the corner on Chicago Ave.

They do have happy hour specials here, but we decided to do all you can eat premium for $58 per person. They do have two other all you can eat deals, however, we found the premium to be perfect for us since there were 45 items to choose from! 5/5 Service: we had the server, Aaron, who was very nice! He did have some pretty large tables so he was servicing them a little more so at times we did have to call him over to order more food. However, when he did serve us he made recommendations. I would say between my bf and I were had about 6 meat dishes (they are on the smaller side), 1 veggie dishes, kimchi and a bowl of rice. Next time, we will order all at once. 4/5 Ambiance: the restaurant was clean and orderly. The bathroom were clean also. I found the inside to be cute! The grills were hot and ready for us once seated. 5/5 Overall: I would give this restaurant a 4/5 for amazing food and cool interior. The serve was a little slow, but you do get 90 minutes of eating time. Perfect for a date or larger parties with friends and family.
