I sincerely loved this place. I got the Bangkok pumpkin soup, the gyozas, the shiitake tofu ramen and the I'm Sassy drink. However, the ramen had a potent urine-like odor. Everything else was great.
Mushroom Ramen (Shiitake Shoyu)has many nice ingredients but is missing that special something their other dishes have. I could have made this at home (minus the presentation) for less money.
SQUID INK FRIED RICE (Spanish squid ink, jumbo shrimp, cherry tomato, shiitake mushrooms, edamame, sweet corn and fresh basil.)
The best sushi ever! Must do spicy salmon salad, goma-ae, hirame ponzu for starter and go for crunchy maki, special Cali and shitake, also never missed sushi/sashimi those all fresh serving.
Crunchy Spicy Salmon is the best!
This place is a hidden gem with great (and reasonably priced) sushi! Try the Jackie, Spicy Tako and Salmon Skin rolls. Yum!
Phenomenal sushi, sashimi, maki rolls. Tuna cheek, hamachi, unagi and toro - butter soft. Signature soy, shiitake mushroom marinated, sauce is over the top. Dark chocolate truffle for dessert.
10-course omakase: doesn’t look like much, but it was very tasty and very worth it
Japanese Breakfast (Fluffy, wobbly, panda-monium pancakes with matcha butter and Okinawan black sugar syrup)
Baked fresh shiitake mushroom is heavenly...
My fave roll in the city: pot river. Cilantro? Yes
Oh yeah and its BYOB just so you know.
Exquisite. Chicken hearts and shiitake skewers. The cod!
Everything is perfect. The momomaki and the shitake kushiage are sooo good.
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.
Red Chili Noodles (gai lan, zucchini, shiitake mushroom, snow pea, cashew) with shrimp
Absolutely obsessed with this place! Everything is so fresh and healthy. Lunch standouts: charred cauliflower appetizer, fish tacos and grilled chicken salad. Sweet potato pie for dessert. Open B/L/D.
Love the fish tacos. Have them here every time in in Chicago :)
Shiitake mushrooms are great!! Sushi is fresh and delicious but over priced. Portions are small

This was my first "Fancy" Ramen experience. Don't think a bowl is worth $15, but tasty nonetheless. Definitely try the Scallop Cake and for all my whiskey fans, the Nikka Nori Old Fashioned is a must!

New favorite Mexican joint in Chicago. Tiny, cash only, no reservations - cool vibe. Mostly small plates, so I'll list my three fave - pork short ribs, grilled shrimp, and empanadas.
Go with a group and sit at the Chef's table. The Brussel sprout salad and kale and seaweed salads and edamame shitake dumplings make great starters.
They had a couple of vegan options and all were yummy. We started with the shisito peppers & shiitake edamame dumplings. For entree we shared the sweet potato caterpillar roll. The pad Thai was ehh.
Best sushi in Chicago! They have awesome Toro and sashimi. Highly recommend Great White, Tiger Shrimp Tempura, and Peared Sake! Their Rainbow Roll is classic and not too Westernized.
Try the Wagyu Tartare - Unbelievable. Mouth-gasmic. Smoked Uni, Summer Apples, Shitake. Can't say love enough. A must have.
Get the bittersweet chocolate cake with shiitake caramel gelato. Thank me later.
Don't die before trying bittersweet chocolate cake with shiitake caramel gelato. That's all I can say. You'll need a cigarette after.
