I stopped in here while staying at an Airbnb that was close and I was beyond happy with everything about my visit! The friendly and helpful staff, absolutely exquisite food, the inviting atmosphere, everything was just awesome. The sushi chef was skilled beyond belief and took great pride in his work. It will truly go down as one of the best food experiences I’ve ever had. Thank you!

I had the pork katsu, and we ordered sushi for the table, along with tempura, and beef wrapped asparagus. Very delicious! Our server was friendly and attentive.

The restaurant is nicely designed. I went with a group, and we were comfortable and able to associate and talk to everyone in our group. The waitress was helpful and friendly and the food and drinks were very good.

The food was very nice. They started with the miso soup. In the chicken bento box they provided chicken, veg fries, sushi, shashimi. The food was enough for dinner. It cost around 30 bucks for dinner. For brunch probably they might have a different deal.

Phenomenal! Great service, great food, great vibes. My food and everything those at my table had was delicious. The green tea mochi ice cream was especially awesome to me.

Not a cozy environment, and feels chaotic, not calming. Service was OK but disorganized, and we had to order some items a few times or ask “where is the ____?” for them to arrive. We were a party of 8 for a special occasion, and so can understand some confusion, but don’t understand being rushed to pay and leave – which was clear when the server brought the check a second time without us asking for it even once. It was a Friday and there were folks waiting, but we made a reservation to celebrate important guests. So, if this place is dining and not fast food, shouldn’t we be allowed to enjoy our food and discussion? Also the sushi and the appetizers were just OK, nothing special.

Hands down best sushi in Evanston! The dumplings were delicious too. We will be back. My kids are already asking to return.

The quality of sashimi, nigiri, veg croquettes and California rolls in the lunch bento box is just amazing. Might be the best bento box I have had.
