I genuinely don’t understand how this restaurant has such high reviews.
I’ve probably been to more than 500 Japanese restaurants around the world. Some were Japanese-owned, many were not, which is totally ok. I actually came here with pretty modest expectations during a business trip simply because it was close to my hotel.
I’ll give them credit for one thing: the atmosphere is good. You can tell the owner put a lot of effort into making the place look cool and creating a nice environment.
Unfortunately, the food was awful.
I ordered quite a few dishes for my group, including several different nigiri. Every single piece came with warm sushi rice that was loose and falling apart. That alone tells me this restaurant doesn't know how to make sushi.
The price is actually reasonable, so cost is not my complaint at all. But at the end of the day, isn’t the food supposed to be the most important part of a restaurant?
I understand this is the Midwest... but there are still much better Japanese restaurants in the area.

I am extremely disappointed with the customer service my party received. We were turned away and denied a table 45 minutes before closing, even though I could clearly see multiple empty tables. When I asked about them, the hostess refused to have them cleaned, claiming the service staff was too busy with existing customers. Turning away guests while tables are open and operating hours remain is unacceptable.

Phenomenal dining experience! Sushi was incredible and our server/bartender Anthony was exceptional. Host stand and other staff were great too, but he was truly on another level. We had a number of different Maki Rolls (Beach, Godzilla etc) and they were great! Highly recommended, great job to all, you won't be disappointed!
