The food was amazing, simply delicious. We got miso soup (the tofu was in very small cubes and had a great proportion of broth to tofu), vegetarian udon noodles (also great), and sushi.For someone who doesn't like fish or avocado, the carrot and cucumber sushi (not specifically on the menu, but we asked for it) was amazing. It's the first sushi I've had in 15 years and it completely surpassed my expectations.Our server, Julia S, was fantastic as well! It was a very busy night and she had a ton of tables to serve, but she made sure to make us feel welcome and well taken care of.
The sushi is terrible. This used to be my go to sushi place, but they have had a massive and steep decline.I went back because friends wanted hibachi there, my rice was disgusting and inedible, I can't tell if they failed to cook it or if the heat was up super high but either way it was hard and inedible.Tragic, this used to be a great place.
We came for lunch at the hibachi table but unfortunately they do not offer that for lunch. We were able to get the same great food without the show. The service was outstanding. We enjoyed the chicken teriyaki bento box, the scallops hibachi, edamame, sweet potato roll and mochi ice cream. The only negative was the lack of cleanliness on the floor. There were dirty old napkins keeping the tables from being wobbly and some food on the floor.
Sushi was not very good, the flavors were off and unproportionate. I had the all you can eat sushi. However, I was told that the junior chef that prepared our dishes was still in training. I was compensated and the service was very friendly.
Stopped into this place yesterday for a Valentine’s Day dinner. We had reservations at 8 and they were so busy that we probably weren’t seated until about 9-915. Looks like they only had 2 Hibachi chefs and that’s what my party decided on. We started with drinks and I ordered a Long Island which I believe was $8 but the bar tender made it pretty strong. We got the salad first and it is pretty small, however it is very tasty with the ginger dressing. We also ordered the vegetable tempura which was also delicious. Although I am not big on eating meat, I did order the 2 tailed lobster. Everything was amazing from the customer service to the chef to the food. The food was well seasoned, you have to appreciate the garlic butter on the lobster and veggies, there is no meat in the fried rice as well only eggs. The owner stepped in and made sure our party had a great time and experience. She has a vivid memory as well, if you patronized her restaurant and spoke to her before she absolutely remembers you. I like that, shows that she has a good memory and even better interpersonal skills. I highly recommend this place for hibachi, I drove all the way from Chicago to enjoy the food here and won’t mind doing it again.
the hibachi is hideously good. used to go here frequently for special occasions and was never disappointed -- it's large meal of noodles, fried rice, meat, vegetables, and soup, each item delicious. one of my favourite restaurants in evanston.
Had all you can eat sushi in here! It was great experience and the service is good! Can't wait to try their hibachi grill!
Todoroki's lunchtime deal is awesome! Delicious and a great value!AND I think we sat across the room from most of the Northwestern basketball team! Like three guys.
Such amazing food. Great sushi. All you can eat sushi for 30 dollars. Such a great deal. Love this place. Still great after all these years.
It’s so hard to make me disappointed with restaurant and write bad review, but you did it.Poor customer service. Server was inattentive, looks like he sees menu for the first time. He brought us appetizers when we were on the half way to finish sushi. He didn’t check how are we doing.Another “surprise” is food. First, it doesn’t look nice and presentable, like it’s made by amateurs, not professional. I ordered dragon rolls. Beside the fact that it was tasteless, it supposed to have eel according to menu. However, they changed menu and think it’s not important to notify customer.Highly do not recommend. And of course, never come again.
