We came here for dinner tonight . Everyone greeted us with the smiles on their faces as we walked in. Food was excellent!! We both really enjoyed the food and the fast and friendly service! My favorite were Three kings roll and Spicy Ramen. 🔥 We were not disappointed! Everything was really good.
A little confused by all the 5 star reviews.. My bf and I were so disappointed by our experience. I wish I had taken a pic before our meal, but I didn't think to take one until after.. but you can see how much rice is caked onto the rolls. And the rice itself, which is the most important part of sushi was so off. The texture of the grains was harder than it should be and the flavor wasn't right. The fish didn't look or taste fresh. One looked almost greyish, we were honestly nervous that we might get sick. The ginger too.. Apologies for being nitpicky, but a couple pieces had browning. I'm not certain if pickled ginger can go bad, but it didn't look like skin. We went in with high expectations..
Tonkotsu Spicy Ramen here is delicious with the right amount of favor and heat. Also the Chicago Spicy Crazy is tasty (but not very spicy). The waitstaff is attentive, kind, and welcoming. Although the restaurant is small, they accommodated my party of 5 very well. I enjoyed my dining experience and will look to visit again when in the area.
Our friends had a good meal here and recommended to us for a Saturday get together, so we ordered take out. There are mixed reviews on Google but usually we don't care much for them since not very many people know what sushi is and what it should taste like and definitely not how it should be prepared. When I picked up the food I realized that It is a Thai owned restaurant and immediately I changed my expectation. It turned out that I was right. The fish was old, not slimy old but dry old. I saw other reviews having the same findings so I was not the only one. If you are used to eating the sushi from buffets and the cooler section of Jewel Osco you probably cannot tell the difference. The flavor combination was ok. The traditional Catepillar, Boston, Dragon type of specialty rolls were ok, the rice was cooked correctedly, the arrangements were standard. The tempura rolls were horrible, too wet, too much sauce inside the rolls and it is hard to keep it together. The small side dishes were not good either, the poke was too spicy while the Tuna was old and dry, the texture of the Tuna was already starting to harden. The Takoyaki had very little Tako in it, and the mixture was undercooked. The Soft Shell Crab was ok but the so called Ponzu sauce should be skipped.
Wonderful place to eat. After eating here I couldn’t believe I didn’t find this gem before, I now know I resonated at the same frequency when I found it. Sushi is very fresh. I got Threekings and Ginger Saba maki and they were both amazing rolls. Service was great from both waitress and chef. Had a nice talk with chef Get. It’s a very cozy environment and Japanese feel here. Sushi is art and I am really grateful chef made such tasty and beautiful dishes for me. I say the best experiences eating sushi is always at the bar. Have to come back for their Ramen, it sounds really good. To the owner and the people who work here, You got me at Green tea! Arigatō 🙏🏻
