Customer Reviews
Chef Sangtae Park prioritizes the freshest, high-quality fish flown in from Japan. The sushi rice is perfectly balanced, complementing the delicate flavors of the seafood. While respecting tradition, Chef Park isn't afraid to add unique flourishes. Think kimchi puree or sesame oil accents, creating an exciting twist on familiar ingredients. The restaurant's small size fosters a close-knit atmosphere. You'll likely find yourself chatting with fellow diners or even Chef Park himself, making the meal a truly personal experience. This is a serious sushi haven. The service is attentive, but the focus is on savoring the exceptional flavors curated by Chef Park. Be prepared for a more formal and quiet dining experience
Fantastic omakase in Chicago! I highly recommend. The service was very lovely, detailed, and each of the items was absolutely delicious. This is a place I’ll definitely be back to. The space is pretty, comfortable, and intimate. The service was the right balance between formal and restrained but without being too stuffy.
The 17-course omakase was excellent, especially the Botan Ebi, Misoyaki Cod, Miso Soup & Matcha Panna Cotta. You could order the specials (additional charges apply) and I tried the wagyu, which was great as well. As for sake, I would recommend the Dasai 39 as a good balance between quality and price point.
The best sushi I’ve ever had in Chicago. I lived in Tokyo and Kyoto for years and really struggle to find authentic, fresh sushi anywhere in the states. BUT Chef Sangae has done it! The tasting menu featured a delicious progression of flavors and the specials were just as good. 10/10. Also, the ambiance and service are impeccable. Obviously it’s a very delicate dining experience. I went alone and it felt very warm, inviting and it was great to watch the Chef work.
