Hidden gem in Evanston! Had such a great meal & great time (loved the ambiance). They really put the extra effort into the presentation & everything looks just as good as it tastes! Our favorite "must get" item was the robata skirt steak! The sushi was high quality, fresh, and the selection was good (ended up ordering more of the o toro nigiri) Highly recommend trying the Thai iced tea and the miso soup! My date ordered the Tamarind noodles & he said it was also good! Make sure to save room for dessert- everything is made in their kitchen (my favorite was the mochi flight) No reservations needed as there was plenty of tables available, outdoor seating as well. This is a BYOB restaurant & they dont charge a cork fee.
This place is so underrated. Everything I had here was incredible … especially the steak on the hot rock (which is not on the menu by the way, but when I asked they were able to do it! I forgot the official name). The ramen was also fantastic. Great service too! Highly recommend
Nice friendly enough place. The customers who would leave, would all say bye to the chef . It's nice to see the staff know the customers so well. Ramen is what I mostly ate today it was good I will be back for sure.
