Lia Stupak
Sushi was not very tasty. The majority of the roll was rice and very small shrimp inside, almost no eel on top- mostly avocado for $15. Taste was very plain as well, didn’t taste like a fresh fish. Service was good, fast and friendly.

I ordered online to pick up at restaurant. When I got there, I stepped outside and took a quick bite before my walk home. Before I could even finish my first bite, the supervisor that was running the shift today came to me and said “next time you order to go, you have to take it to go” which I understand if they were busy but there was only one other couple on the patio and they were not busy at all. There was a whole festival happening on Roscoe and barely anyone was there. How rude! My food was alright and the customer service was terrible. It’s giving prejudice vibes all the way. I worked in customer service my entire life and I wouldn’t dare treat a paying customer that way. Would not recommend.

Ordered takeout from here on DoorDash the other day and it was some of the best sushi takeout I’ve had in Chicago! Super fresh and came really quickly, all the rolls had great flavor. I got these 4 rolls and would order the same thing the next time. Yum!

The lunch specials are a really good deal and if you’re with a friend the variety is good as you can get a Thai food item as well as a plate of sushi to share. The Crab Rangoon was super good and you can never go wrong with Thai iced tea.
