4.5442 reviews ·Opentil 12AM tonight
Most of the menu portions were small but perfect for sharing across a large party: ginkgo nuts, first time trying them in Chicago; gyoza, just the right amount of thin, crispy outer layer and very juicy fillings; chicken liver, very savory and a bit zesty (one couldn't tell if it's a dessert or appetizer); tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled egg), freshly made with perfectly even texture

Had a craving for Sushi and came here on a weeknight. Wow! Amazed by its extensive Japanese menu of sushi, drinks, ramen and wonderful appetizers and yakitori. This is authentic as it gets. Our server was on point and the dining experience was tremendous. I can’t be thankful enough for this restaurant as they even open late on Fridays and Saturdays. Will definitely be back for more soon. Highly recommend!

The food and service was amazing. I sat in the bar area, but I noticed they had a traditional Japanese sitting dining area by the front. I’ll make sure to check it out next time. I highly recommend getting the entrees as they come with miso soup, salad, and rice. The skewers were also very good!. I will definitely be coming again soon!

This place is a hidden gem! Honestly should be much much more busier than it is because it’s so good, but then again maybe it is best it stays a hidden gem! The food is fresh. We ordered Miso Udon w/ Tempura and a few sushi rolls and Nigiri. Broth for the udon wasn’t as salty as you’d usually get at other places but had just as much flavor. Absolutely delicious. Sushi rolls were also delicious. The Texas roll had just the right amount of crunch and sauce. Rainbow roll had really nice cuts of fish - it melted in our mouths. The tuna is to die for. Same goes for the nigiri pieces as well! They also have karaoke! Will have to come back and do that. My fiancé and I had a lot of nostalgia from here! Reminded us of a Japanese restaurant we had gone to in Seattle called, “Menya” which was cozy and had authentic Japanese meals just as this place does. OH! Get the chicken skin skewers!

Truly a jem of a find! Ordered the takoyaki, spicy miso ramen and unsweetened green tea. Everything was extremely delicious. The atmosphere was calm and cozy. I would recommend everyone to come check it out. It is a great place to hang out with friends or go out on a date with a partner. The staff was super kind and helpful. I will definitely be coming back. I even saw they had fliers for karaoke :)

The dining experience was really nice. Felt like a hole in a wall. Excellent food, and the night time atmosphere is really fitting.

I've been coming here once every 3-6 months for 5 years. The new owner has done a wonderful job. Beautiful updated interior. Excellent food. Perfect service. I will continue to come here every time I am in Rosemont (I'm from the Philadelphia area). Thank you.
