Lexi Zajdel: The yellowtail sashimi appetizer, mango four ways sushi roll, and black cod entree are the best things on the menu. This place is absolutely delicious and has the coolest female DJ on Friday nights :)
Ms Helene: Immaculate rolls with special details. Yellowtail with scallions and jalapeño stood out. Garlic shrimp and butterfish apps. Great service.
PureWow: This Phoenix import gives us the choice of two omakase menus: Signature or Decadent. With regular options like yellowtail, West Coast oysters or bluefin tuna, we’re pretty sure it’s gonna be delish. Read more.

Stephanie Davis: BYOB...The Yellow Tail or BG specials are both awesome. Great value!
C Rey: Try the Chicago pressed roll. It's a nice take on traditional sushi rolls and it comes with miso soup and a mandarin green salad. BYOB so bring a bottle of the good stuff.
danielle gutelli: This is by far the best sushi in Chicago! Make sure to say hi to Bat, the owner. He is fabulous.

K Wagner: Food was amazing especially the miso soup (one of the best I've had) and the nigiri (yellow tail and medium fatty tuna were standouts).
Michelle Campbell: White Lotus roll was excellent - now my all time favorite roll anywhere. Maybe the aioli or crispy onions or both! service was great at the bar. Recommend and will be back next time I'm in chi town.

Time Out Chicago: Try the uni avocado toast from our 100 Best list: Chef Ryan LaRoche’s unlikely combination of briny sea urchin, smooth avocado, Mangalica ham and bright capers exhibits a keen understanding of flavor.
