My favorite little BYOB sushi place in Chicago. I love the chosen roll and the spicy scallop a lot, but I've never had a bad roll. Great prices and service- they always remember us.
Kamilah MFebruary 20, 2013Tako and dragon roll are great, and order 1/2 rolls so you can try more. Waitress Dell is fantastic!!
Wesley KeyserAugust 7, 2013Awesome. Waitress and kitchen staff all super nice and helpful. Ask for some root wasabi. Not as hot as regular wasabi but very nice!
Tin San RamonAugust 4, 2013Try the yaki udon with chicken and shrimp shumai! You can tell everything was made fresh. However, they were definitely under-staffed.
Carol 💋💅May 17, 2012The Clark st. Is awesome. Comes in a neon green wrap. the spicy tuna is good too, it's actually spicy. Came in bcuz of Groupon but would definitely be back. 
Love this place! My favorite roll is Ocean Drive. Also, they have the best (freshest) Toro (Fatty Tuna). It's the most amazing buttery smooth deliciousness!
Matt TomaskoMay 9, 2012LivingSocial has an instant deal for dine-in: $15 for $30. And they're BYOB, but they charge a $2.50/person corking fee. And the sushi is great!
SheptoriousFebruary 5, 2011Ika salad, The Hawaiian (mmm... ango), and the White Castle (what you crave). Look into it.- Adam BitnerDecember 17, 2013Many better sushi places nearby. Food was fine but it was dead on a Sat night and hostess has to run to liquor store because they ran out of booze.
Paul GallagherSeptember 3, 2014This byob sushi place leaves a lot to be desired. The service, cleanliness and decor need an overhaul. Sushi 6/10.
