“The lunch menu is terrific value, and the quality of sushi is excellent. My wife and I frequent this place and we are never disappointed. We enjoy the food very much and will keep returning or ordering from them.”
“delicious sushi, homey vibes and super nice service! not too fancy!”
“Love the sushi from Kai! Both the South Loop and this location are great. My favorite roll is the Ocean roll 10/10. Quick service and the patio is nice in the warmer months.”
“Very good sushi! Prices aren't horrible either, expensive ingredients and sushi isn't easy to make so you should expect to pay a little more. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely delicious!! I got a spicy crab roll with mango and avocado and it was great - getting to customize your roll to exactly what you want is super nice too. The rice was perfectly cooked and the ingredients tasted fresh. Will be coming back soon!”
“This restaurant is all time. They custom-made a fantastic boat for the two of us at an unbelievable price. They use REAL fresh wasabi.”
“Order from here often. Spectacular variety and flavors. One of the best in Chicago. I was too excited about eating ..ill take more photos next time.”
“Fishes were pretty fresh, I like the price range & quality.”
“I ordered through Uber Eats. This was hands down the worst sushi I’ve ever had. As you can see in the photo, this is how it arrived.”
“I’ve been here twice and both times it has been perfect food quality and service. The sushi tastes incredible and the value for what you spend is some of the best dollar to quality there is. The service is incredible too. Everyone is friendly and if you want to eat quick you can get your sushi within ten minutes of sitting down it’s incredible”
