Angela Sheridon: Must try: the sparrow is the best craft drink, alligator skewer, mushroom dumplings, prosciutto wrapped scallops and the belly sushi roll (da bomb!).
Lauren Meek: Love the miso soup here. Really good spicy shrimp roll. $1 oysters after work!
Andy Savva: Happy hour...beef skewers, sushi roll and $1 oysters. Thoroughly recommended.
Thomas Griffin: Try the California Roll!
Namon S.: The best sushi ever! Must do spicy salmon salad, goma-ae, hirame ponzu for starter and go for crunchy maki, special Cali and shitake, also never missed sushi/sashimi those all fresh serving.
Jami: The Crunchy Salmon roll & New York roll = AMAZING! Best sushi I've ever had!

Jessica Reynolds: The sushi is the best I've had in the city. Try the Spicy Blue Crab, Spider, Sweet Potato Tempura, Summer Passion, or Volcano maki. They also have the BEST crab rangoon in the city.
Michelle Nanos: This restaurant is delicious! You gotta try their signature maki: porcupine & sex on the moon! If you like red wine, order their half bottle of cabernet sauvignon for only $8!
ivy t.: Free crab rangoon when u get $20 of food to go. Maki rolls are huge, chicken panang is delish, crab rangoon is home made and amazing

Crain's Chicago Business: Spend your money instead on unique maki like Wa-Machi, a roll with yellowtail, wasabi-flavored fish roe, wasabi mayo and fresh wasabi. Read more.
Tonya Tibbs: The Brussel sprout salad is so awesome! Also the summer of Sunda & the tale of two tunas are both great maki rolls.
Christy: Shaking beef is delicious but the pieces of meat are a little too big to eat with chopsticks. California roll is awesome as well as the pad Thai chicken that my boyfriend got. Definite repeat!
Mike Cassem: Just got back from the Hot Wok, amazing sushi. Had a Goose Island (Chicago local), and a variety of different sushi offerings. Try their Sweet Soy Eel or spicy tuna roll.
Paula Montgomery: Fabulous sushi...if you're not into the sushi thing, try the California rolls...with chopsticks!
Nida Siddiqui: The spider and dragon rolls are amazing!

Time Out Chicago: Try the Triple S from our 100 Best list: This maki, made of sweet potatoes, salmon and the mysteriously-named “spicy dynamite sauce” is everything that is wrong with sushi. And it tastes so right.
Emily R: Dragon roll and sweet potato tempura maki were amazing. Mis amigos also gave thumbs up to little sea monster and scallop app. All in all, VERY solid.
Lana Rifkin: Love the spicy miso soup, triple s roll, lover roll, lava salmon roll. Awesome, friendly service. 10% off for cash payment.
