The vegetarian maki roll Kyoto is incredibly delicious. Very refreshing smoothies on a hot day. The sex on the moon combines so many different textures including octopus, pistachios, cucumber, and tuna. I will be returning to try more desserts

My 2nd time visiting this place. My friend and I specifically drove in from the suburbs for dinner here. The food is so good. Who knew miso soup could taste so good. I went with Drunken Noodles. My friend had a sushi roll. We both thought each of our meals were delicious. Dessert was also so delicious. I had the mango sorbet with passion fruit. It was so good. My friend had the custard w/sticky rice. Delicious. Drinks were great. A very decent wine and cocktail list that doesn't disappoint. This place mends Japanese and Thai for a fantastic meal. Atmosphere is warm, simple, and chic. A bit on the smaller side, so reserve as necessary The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable of the menu. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the North side of Chicago. Edgewater is the 'hood for good food experiences. I'm vegetarian and had plenty of options.

First time here! Got the no meat Raman and I’m impressed! Creating a hearty vegetarian broth is not easy. This broth is so satisfying! There’s some deep flavors like you’d expect with a beef broth and it lasts throughout the meal. Just a touch of heat that was perfectly placed right after the broth is tasted. Two types of tofu a skin which is sweet and a plain which goes so well with the other. And not forgetting the ramen noodles tasty perfectly cooked. Served is a deep ceramic bowl which kept everything warm. Beautiful presentation!

I often come here for lunch. The lunch specials are really tasty. They offer sushi specials with raw and cooked options. Also cooked meals like pad Thai and basil chicken. I enjoy the Thai iced tea. They are very welcoming to solo diners, which is much appreciated. I recommend the taro custard for dessert. I also have the ramen here, which they will make with rice noodles for gluten-free diners.
