    Great food. Just a little loud , sounds echo - maybe some sound dampening . The seats by windows are much quieter. Other wise a great experience with food and and service.

    Inexperienced staff, over-priced dishes, incomprehensible menu. With many open tables, sat us next to loud, annoying, over-indulgent mother and toddler. Unpleasant dining experience totally.

    What a wonderful meal! The salmon sashimi was SO fresh and some of the best I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot). The Chicago Fire roll was super flavorful and substantial. Great food, service and ambiance. Very highly recommend!
