2/11/2016 by Eater Run by twin brother chefs, Kai Zan offers creative interpretations of Japnese dishes, like uni shooters with quail egg and an oyster dish called the Eskimo Cloud. Treat yourself and BYOB.
6/2/2015 by JenKudu Escolar pearls and grilled hamachi are amazing! If you like mussels, these are delicious. Also if lucky to try the special soft shell Caesar, do it. My brain tingled afterwards. Service is impeccable!
2/8/2015 by Molly Lynn Have done the omakase every time. Its a lot of food. The escolar pearls are incredible and a must if you go à la carte.
12/17/2014 by Teresa The seafood appetizers and sushi rolls were good. Would not say that the restaurant has the best sushi in Chicago though.

9/29/2013 by Scott R. The escolar was the best sashimi I've ever had. The Orange Rush was one of the greatest bites of food I've ever had.
4/24/2013 by Max M. The Orange Rush is conceivably the best single food item I've ever eaten. Also consider the Escolar Pearls and Green Monster.
2/3/2013 by Michelle T. Best sushi in Chicago. Amazing bites of fresh fish in inventive preparations. I love this place. Basically order every roll on the menu, both pearl apps, and try the specials!
10/19/2012 by An N. Let's just say, I'm Asian and I know my good sushi. The Midwest blows in the majority of their sushi restaurants but this place is rules!! Don't tell anybody about this place.
10/6/2012 by Jamie M. Best Sushi experience I have ever had, Jiro would be proud
7/25/2012 by Brandon R. The food is great, but the water is always room temperature. I need my water to be cold!
6/25/2012 by Tasting Table Try the house-made tofu with okra, dashi and a tumbleweed of shaved bonito, then add few drops of soy sauce to enliven the delicate flavors:
6/22/2012 by Aileen A. I always let the Chef's create for me ("Omakase") but don't leave without trying the Orange Rush and homemade cheesecake!
