One of my favourite Sushi places in town. It’s always filled up with clients, but don’t worry, you will get a nice table to sit. Big variation of sushi - Sashimi, Nigiri, Tempura, Spicy Tuna Roll.. and of course Miso soup. Don’t forget they got “All you can eat”, but what you can’t finish you pay 1 for it. Like in all Sushi restaurants (that should be applied to every restaurant).

Been here about 4 times Its a great place to eat with friends . 22 for dinner all- you- can -eat . . Cant beat that. They have a good amount of options. Never had a piece of sushi that tasted bad always tastes fresh and also its BYOB. Good clean place and waiters are nice ,never had a problem with them I believe I had a diff waiter each time I went . If you want something to eat and drink before heading out for a night out I would recommend this place .

The sushi is excellent. They have an All-you-can-eat option all day, everyday. Prices differ by a few dollars between lunch (18) and dinner (22) hours. The sushi is very fresh. There are many delicious and flavorful rolls to choose from. The menu has many items, and I liked everything I tried. This place has a B.Y.O.B option which is great. There is a liquor store right next door. Parking is available in a lot outside. Seating may take a while, especially on weekends and during dinner hours. This place does get busy, but I believe it's worth the wait. The service was great. Restaurant is clean.

Sushi is amazing every time. I love that they offer the soy paper wrapper as an option. There are so many delicious options but the crunchy shrimp roll is my favorite

Although I wish they still had their buffet option their to go sushi is really up to standards with other nice sushi places. I wouldn’t say A, but everything was pretty darn near perfect, especially for being in a pretty random spot in Chicago area. My Nigiri pieces of sushi were well portioned and all of the fish was fresh. The rice was soft and chewy and slightly cool- the way it should be. I definitely recommend this place for those who have an itch for 2.00 Nigiri pieces.

We started coming here when our favorite sushi bar closed for good after the Covid pandemic. Their sushi is delicious and fresh! my only complaint is that they are not also a tappanaki steakhouse with Golden shrimp. If you love sushi you won't be disappointed. our favorites are the Spicy Tina, Firecracker Calamari, Dragon and Mexican rolls.
