Exclusive Resorts: Sushi & steak - now that is a great combo. Good wine list, nice atmosphere and great food. Get the Wagyu Beef and Kimchi Dumplings, Beef tataki w/ black truffle and Butterfish tataki for appetizers.
Chicago magazine: Try: gilded wagyu tartare gunkan maki topped with caviar and wasabi and the lightly battered fried squid with jalapeño rings. Say no to the salt-grilled saba.
Yura Lee: Go for the decadent omakase!!! Pricey but def worth it!!! If not, Get the american wagyu ($15 an ounce) king crab, butterfish tataki, robata scallops and brussel sprouts, and truffle rice hot pot!

Rishad Tobaccowala: Beer and three burgers here that stand out . The bad apple which is their signature. The slow burn for the spice addicted and the Wagyu ( Wednesdays onwards) which is a steak disguised as a burger!

David Benjamin: The sushi is good but not wow. What is wow is the Momotaro tartare (restaurant named after it) and the beef wagyu donburi. Highlights of the night!
John Khuu: A great group/date spot for a dressy casual hip for the Japanese cuisine. The sushi/sashimi is beyond excellent. Make sure you get yellowtail, because it will literally melt in your mouth.
