Attentive service. The ambiance was amazing, felt like I was not in Chicago. The Mama Mango was delicious! Our food options were great as well. Glad we dropped in here last minute. Did not have any wait time for 2.

Really good sushi, vegan and regular, so perfect to accommodate everyone! The vegan sushi was really good, especially the shiitake to me (best vegan sushi ever!). My husband enjoyed the regular sushi very much. The drinks were good. The staff is attentive. And it looks really nice inside as well.

The atmosphere is very pleasant, and the sushi rolls are very original—nothing traditional, but very tasty and creative. The service was also very good, and the prices are reasonable.
The only thing that bothered me a little is that, instead of simply increasing the prices, they add an additional 3.5% service fee. It says you can ask them to remove it, but personally, I would much rather see the prices increased by 3% and not have an extra fee added to the bill.

To be honest, we had originally intended to go to a more upscale restaurant, but there was no availability, so we ended up finding this place nearby out of necessity. And I’m so glad we did.
We were a bit annoyed when told there was a one-hour wait at the entrance, but they managed to get us a table within half an hour. The reception staff and the servers were all doing an excellent job.
As for the food, it truly surprised me; it was far better than the presentation suggested. The cocktail glasses were quite small, and the prices didn't quite reflect that... However, the desserts were legendary. We only managed to try two of them, but I’m sure the others are fantastic as well.
Thank you.

First time at this location before a show at the Nederlander. All day happy hour on Sunday! Great service, great drinks and menu options. Don’t love the music but it wasn’t loud. Only minor blips were the food not arriving at the same time (my daughter had to wait a few minutes for hers after mine came) & a small amount of eggplant on her roll (first time that happened). But everything was the perfect temperature and tasted so yummy. Love the Sangria Spritz and Hotel Cali. Would definitely recommend!
