So good! We tried the Ten Don, Spicy Albacore Maki, Shrimp Stir Fry, and House Sake. I love Japanese food and this didn’t disappoint one bit. The service was excellent and the price was beyond fit for the quality. The meals came with salad and miso soup which was a nice bonus.

Delicious Japanese food. We ordered the chicken bento (pictured), the agedashi tofu, and the oyako don. All of it was very flavorful and at a reasonable price. I am happy to support a long-standing family owned local business!

We have been coming to this traditional sushi house since 1996, and keep coming back even though we moved 25 miles north. We have eaten sushi around the country and the world, and this is still by far the best sushi ever! Quality is exceptional and prices are reasonable. Do not miss if you are in the Chicago area!

I’m extremely satisfied with my order. The fish is really fresh. Kaki sunomo is the best!! If you like sashimi, I strongly recommended sashimi dinner. I’d eat here everyday, if I could. Also, I really appreciate the attentive staff always offering Edamame as complimentary. They are all really nice. Great food!! I definitely come back here again!!

Great service! The food was tasty and fresh, but a little bit “revised” and pricey (regarding the amount of food) compared to the other Japanese restaurants I had had in Chicago. Ordered a chirashi bowl (sashimi over rice) and there were actually kamaboko (fish cake) and giant pack of red ginger covered with a piece of salmon sashimi (kind of deceptive since I though they were all salmon). The pieces of nigiri sushi were great, though.
