This restaurant is one of our favorites in Evanston! The food and service is impeccable! I had the Chilean sea bass , which is outstanding and mixed Tempura as an appetizer. The food is fresh and clean. It is a real treat ! Oh and also the wine was excellent.

A nice, moderately upscale Japanese restaurant offering both sushi and cooked dishes like katsu, soba, donburi, etc. The food was very tasty in both categories and plated beautifully. Nice selection of cocktails, wine, sake, and beer. Attractively designed reflecting a contemporary take on traditional Japanese interior design. The service was very friendly and helpful with our questions.

Our service and the food were excellent, especially the fish dishes. It's a great place to enjoy a Japanese meal with many choices. The noise level was low, so conversations were easy. We loved it!

The food was outstanding. I had a filet mignon entrée on rice and vegetables with teriyaki sauce. That was one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten! The coconut Shrimp appetizer was wonderful as well. Server was very attentive and we felt very well attended to. Highly recommend this restaurant.
