    Nice restaurant, okay service and tasty food. I enjoyed it myself! It's pretty close to Hilton Chicago (and therefore from Magnificent mile it's not too far)

    During the week the lunch specials are an amazing deal. You get a ton of food for the price, no need to order any appetizers, you'll have plenty to eat for around $10.

    Sushi is good, but many other hot dishes including the appetizers are awesome. Bacon-wrapped tomatoes, lollipop chicken and spicy ramen.

    The Ramen is excellent. The sushi is just fine, but the hamachi kama was overdone by a lot.
