Ukai Sushi & Ramen — top-tier japanese in Lakeview. Come for the food, stay for the energy. Every plate is composed, not just assembled. Easy on the wallet, BYOB. "The chirashi bowl was so fresh, with each slice of fish melting in your mouth with savory fattiness" — Alison Ou

“Def get the crab ragoons, but you can't go wrong with any of the specialty rolls, bear and pink lady are some of our favorites”
The food was ok, The ladys attitude was not the best,I asked for fresh Wasabi and she was upset that I did,they did not have any.
The older man that works at the register is a little ignorant and a little rude.
Waited over an hour and a half for our food after waiting 30 mins to even get attended.

“I had low expectations before coming here but I went for their lunch special since I pass by here almost daily.”
I had low expectations before coming here but I went for their lunch special since I pass by here almost daily. This place serves solid sushi. Their lunch special is a good deal even though they put less fish on the sushi then if ordering a la carte or for dinner. The only negatives is that it took more then 30min to get my sushi order ready so I suggest calling ahead. Also they didn't follow my special instructions for extra wasabi but overall this is a good place and I'll be back.

“I am so amazed by their quality of food.”
I am so amazed by their quality of food! The chirashi bowl was so fresh, with each slice of fish melting in your mouth with savory fattiness. The cuts were thick and satisfying. I was really full by the time I finished the bowl, and the price is actually a lot cheaper compared to other places that are of less quality! My boyfriend ordered the ramen and it was yummy as well. Will definitely have to come back and try other dishes!
