“ A hidden gem. The best omakase in Chitown by chef Danny. Great veriety of freshest fish and seafood. Highly recommend for a date or girls night out. You will not be disappointed! ”
“ This place is fantastic. Best sushi Ive had in years. They use real sushi rice and sell actual grated wasabi. Fantastic price for how high quality it was. I really enjoyed the balance of the rolls as well... a great amount of fish and other components in proportion to the rice. Ramen broth had an excellent rich and clean flavor as well, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. This is my new favorite spot for Japanese. ”
“ Walked in 20 min before they closedbecause hours are wrong on Google fyi!! and they were super nice and still sat us. Have some wonderful specials on bluefin tuna and uni. Service was fantastic. ”
“ Unreal sushi! Our new goto spot. Beautiful ambiance and beautifully plated sushi. We got the TUNA TATAKI appetizer and the CHICAGO CUBS and the OCEAN Speciality Roles. The waitress brought out an orange treat for dessert too. 100010! Cannot wait to come back. Telling all my friends! ”
“ Love the Tonkatsu ramen Ive only ever had it togo, but it reheats very well and overall is a filling portion that is well balanced with narutomaki, bamboo shoots, jammy egg, pork belly and generous noodles. I also always enjoy the different kinds of sushi here. The V.I.P, citrus salmon, and green turtle have been my favorite so far. Definitely warrants a repeat experience! ”
“ I was very pleased with my first visit go Kai! The lunch special is an absolute bargain, and I was very pleased with my spicy tuna and spicy crab rolls. Very reasonable prices for sushi. Note They put a lot of salt on the edamame which I enjoyed, but something to aware of. ”
“ My favorite restaurant! Thank you chef Danny and Wee for making our dinner so special! Uni Bowls are the best! ”
